Prerequisite: you need to be good and be able to sell yourself as such
Options:

* Work for FAANG in London, Switzerland or even Amsterdam [1].

* Tough one: reskill and work in HFT, base seems to be 60K, the bonus that you get after having proven yourself is sizeable and can be a multiple of your salary (if I have to believe teamblind.com, can't find the source anymore). The hours are more brutal though.

* I've met a freelancer doing this, it's on the gray area of shady (depending on where you land with valuing hours worked versus output delivered): get a cushy 80K job for which 2 hours of work per day is enough. Work like 10 to 20 hours per week, track the 2 hour units of commits into an Excel sheet and commit each day appropriately. For each day when you don't need to stack commits, enjoy your free time! Then, if you want to make more money, get another job or freelance thing and do that after your normal work hours (for legal reasons). It's a variation on the 4 hour work week I guess? I've seen a guy do this, he had no issues with it. He even was called employee of the year, so I guess the 2 hours he put was comparable or even better than the 8 hours of another person. Some people think it's shady since you're not working in the spirit of your contract (doing less hours than promised). Other's think it's fine since you're delivering the output that was implied with the contract.

The context here, right up at the top of the thread where perhaps you've forgotten it, is that (safe) Rust gets you Sequential Consistency, since it has Data Race Freedom.

This makes debugging easier, in the important sense that humans don't seem to be equipped to debug non-trivial programs at all unless they exhibit Sequential Consistency. It's easy enough to write a program for modern computers which doesn't have Sequential Consistency, but it hurts your head too much to debug it.

With your C++ hat on, this might seem like a distinction that doesn't make a difference, lack of Data Race Freedom in a C++ program results in Undefined Behaviour, but so does a buffer overrun, null pointer dereference, signed overflow, and so many other trivial mistakes. So many that as I understand it an entire C++ sub-committee is trying to enumerate them. Thus for a C++ programmer of course any mistake can cause mysterious impossible-to-debug problems so Data Race Freedom doesn't seem important.

Try your Java hat. In Java data races can happen but they don't cause Undefined Behaviour. Write a Java program with a data race. It's hard to reason about what it's doing! It can seem as though some variables take on inexplicable values, or program control flow isn't what you wrote. If you introduce such a race into a complex system you should see that it would be impractical to debug it. Most likely you'd just add mitigations and go home. This is loss of Sequential Consistency in its tamest form, and this is what safe Rust promises to avert.

You don't need to read the report if you're familiar with the stock. I've been following the stock for several years, and before WSB it has been undervalued, pushing penny stock level despite being a ~10-20 dollar stock in terms of DCF. Short interest on GME has been around 100% for years now, and surpassed 100% prior to the WSB stuff.

Doing this could constitute fraud and/or time theft in some circumstances. If one of the employers bills your time to a customer or (worse) a government agency you might face serious legal problems. More likely the employer could sue charging breach of contract, violation of NDA, unauthorized use of company property. If your actions cause either employer to get sued or suffer damages they will likely turn around and sue you. A jury or mediator might not have much sympathy because of the deception and questionable ethics.
>I don't mean to say this was done intentionally

I'm not so sure about that. Zuckerberg is on record saying old people just aren't as smart.
Was it really an issue before, though? The article mentions that digital cameras were already better at taking photos of darker skin. I never noticed that photos of black people were of bad quality on the internet.

One thing that bugged me in this otherwise awesome talk, is that the setting with values normal, higher, and high

> Another failure was not grasping the services-based model

They've experienced the first services-based model by the IBM et al. in the 60s and ran away from that by looking into alternative computing. That's where the personal computing came in. Unix was tangential to the problem not until free software (GNU) adopted it as it was the lingua franca of the research community and it seemed to walk a fine line between mainframe corporations and PC tinkerers. For more on this topic look into Fred Turner's book 'From Counterculture to Cyberculture'.
I'm sure you could - but if you went about it scientifically there would easily be thousands (not just the 3 in Ayurveda). That being said, I do think Ayurveda is mostly about manipulating the microbiome, and I think there are probably real nuggets of truth in its approaches. For example the use of Triphala to improve motility will help in numerous dysbiotic states.
Microsoft has huge amounts of introductory content: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/learn/csharp

And most stuff steers you towards the `dotnet new` CLI command to get started. Which I hate, I much prefer a .sln file from the get-go but maybe that’s on me. But it’ll get you a .NET 6/C# 10 .csproj in no time.

This doesn't make sense. The blog seems to be annoyed at how .NET is managing to push out new features whilst still support decades of corporate code.

Their biggest gripe seems to be that Rider's default templates still have old references, and how they "might" follow a tutorial incorrectly that might not work and dishearten a new user so much they give up on the whole language, all the while overlapping the definition between ASP.NET and C# (which of course, could be improved, sure).

While there is a link between COVID vaccine and Bell's palsy, in general it seems one would have greater risk of getting Bell's palsy from COVID itself rather than from the vaccine.

Getting productive and happy in the .NET ecosystem has a learning curve similar to that of Eve Online. There is this amazing world locked away behind a byzantine matrix of legacy bullshit. You could waste an entire month struggling with differences between legacy framework and new framework tutorials.

The branding is honestly trash. I feel like if C#10 and latest .NET framework were renamed to something completely different and relaunched under some new company, we wouldn't go a single day without it gracing the front page of HN.

What % of developers are missing out based on principles alone? Microsoft is certainly an oppressive monster but they arguably produce some of the best tools in town right now.
I'm 25, and I live in The Netherlands as well. My parents managed to buy a house for 110k with government subsidies back in the 90s, they didn't need a deposit, they didn't even need any money. All they had to do was earn just above minimum wage, and they could include any costs from the buying process into the mortgage. Their house sold for 475k last year, a 90s starter home for low incomes. My grandparents had it even better, their house cost 40k in the 60s, of which 40% was paid for directly by the government through subsidies.

I'm in the top 1.4% of income in the country, yet I cannot buy a house, because I don't have the savings required to overbid by 100k. There's a lot of things causing this overbidding, my parents for example sold their house because they wanted something smaller, but because they now had 475k in the bank, they were able to overbid by 80k on a house listed at 250k which ruins any chances for younger people to buy them. There's no way I can match this, let alone less fortunate people of my generation. I'm currently renting for 1600 a month, my landlord rented the place out to pay for his new house's mortgage. They're unwilling to sell it to me, because they plan to retire here in the next 10 years. The house is worth 300k in the current market, it's a very small starter home, but I literally had no other option because there's absolutely nothing available. And this is in a small town in the east of the country, my commute is over an hour as I work in the west.

There's nothing your generation can do, apart from just owning one home. It's not your fault, it's horrible policy making (such as getting rid of the VROM ministry) among other things.
The examples of the 'good guy' spies carrying out 'bad intention' activities are legion, and so the conclusion that trusting any covert intelligence organization is a good idea is extremely flawed.

I'd say that even if you "drive" yourself, the commute can be a pleasurable experience, depending on the circumstances. I for one love my commute (which is a calm promenade in the woods on my bicycle). But this is very specific: even a much shorter commute but inside the city traffic and among cars and red lights would be a nightmare.
It was not meant ill-willed. I was just wondering. Regarding what you said, I think I understand what your point is. On the other hand it makes some difference among whose people you ask - some things are much likelier to be common sense (or at least heard of) than in other places. Whatever.
Barrier never has been lower: downloading the SDK, creating a folder, running dotnet new console, then dotnet run. Editing Program.cs then back at dotnet run. I don't know of any language where it's as easy to get started. Also VS Code has a semi-decent support of C#.

Contrary to some misleading comments in this thread it is in fact using WebRTC. The crux is that WebRTC doesn't show up in the normal Network tab but if you go to chrome://webrtc-internals/ you will see the action.
Having worked on .NET frameworks up to 4.5, and then vaguely following the evolution of C# since then, it certainly seems like a "new language" in many places.

The trouble is that you can still write code in the original language, e.g. don't use the elvis operator or Linq or '?.', which is what is likely to happen if you write a lot of code in other languages too - C++, Java, Kotlin, Python, Javascript. There's a common 'subset' language in all of those that's easy to carry mentally from one to another.

One thing that Intellij/Kotlin has is that if you write "old fashioned Kotlin", there are a lot of IDE inspections that can convert that "old style" code to sort-of idiomatic Kotlin.
Slight correction - I mis-remembered and it was Hal Feeney who did the logic design (his initials appear on the chip) but Federico Faggin led the implementation team.

This is weird and confusing and the typescript stuff didn't help. The author seems to advocate a voodoo approach to Haskell, where you copy/paste code without understanding what it does. This is never a good idea. If you're in a Haskell shop, rank N types aren't that far "out there", and are maybe more easily explained in GADT syntax. The GHC manual also documents them, and including a link might have been enough.[1]

It seems to me that there are much more serious barriers than rank N types to getting a useful production service running in Haskell. I think I can understand rank N types. I would not, at the moment at least, trust myself to deploy a Haskell service in production.

Jordan, on the other hand, looks pretty cool. Data.Binary had something in the same spirit using Scrap Your Boilerplate generics (iirc), but it wasn't as flexible.

You can read it just as an inspiration. Getting HN to Kindle would be fairly simple - just use a script to download it, basic formatting, convert to mobi and send to email (though OP apparently supports also some kind of category classification, which might not be so simple to set up). But for 5 bucks for lifetime, without needing to have a machine running...

Replicating the obsidian plug-in functionality to suit your own note/knowledge management app would be probably even easier.

What I don't like is the tagging part - kindles are terrible to type in. And if you want to avoid it by using your phone/tablet, you'd be better to avoid kindle app altogether and do the note taking using browser extension or something.

Again it sounds like you're demanding from physicalists an explanation of consciousness, and, since they can't give one, you take this as a reason for dismissing physicalism. I fully concur that nobody can currently give an adequate explanation. My argument is solely about the theoretical possibility of accounting for consciousness within the physical world.

>When looking at the physical story alone (the neurons firing, etc), there's no reference to consciousness/experiences.

You can't say that right now, because we're not anywhere near having the capability for "looking at the physical story alone". There's like 80 billion neurons which we can't currently inspect at a reasonable granularity (in space and time), furthermore there's no theory for how to integrate the data of 80 billion neurons with all their firings and states into higher level explanations.

>It doesn't appear at all until the physicalist says "and c-fibers firing just are pain" -- at which they are like a magician, having pulled something from thin air.

Sure, the physicalist who says just that is stupid. The computationalist who says that the information processing which the brain performs in reaction to c-fiber firings gives rise to the subjective experience of pain is more justified.

My guess is that their aim was to do the same as they did with internet explorer, where many thought that the internet was internet explorer. So with .NET the aim seems to be that people would think that a web server is .NET because the naming makes it seem that way. But it failed and now we live with that confusing name.

I know how Wi-Fi works, and how it sometimes doesn't, and this is why I'm using ethernet whenever possible. Cellular operates in a much more controlled environment with more stringent certification, it's much more reliable for me than anything 2.4 GHz, but it does still get frustrating at times. The lack of requirement of a low delay also helps both wifi and cellular I guess.

Bearing in mind that transmission effectiveness data is only just becoming available from multiple countries, it certainly isn't showing that duration of carrying is the only factor.

Dutch data, for instance, has recently shown substantial reductions in transmission within households, locations where a three day difference in the duration of symptoms is unlikely to have had a major impact. [0]

Lol, look at your own susceptibility to media first. Dominello's vaccination had nothing to do with his Bells Palsy and was way past the point of when the contents of the AstraZeneca vaccine he had taken 3 months earlier would have metabolised.

A more serious challenge is that the relative importance of the different levels isn't fixed, but varies according to environmental circumstances, individual desires and social context / pressure.
I'm a newcomer, having been forced to use .NET for work. I really wanted to keep an open mind. But I really can't recommend .NET for web development to anybody. Performance is really the only benefit, and that only gets relevant if you can circumvent or take all the downsides. I really like F# as a language, but C# doesn't really do it for me.

Everything else I've seen is very far behind Django/Python and probably PHP, Ruby, Go and Java, though I have less familiarity with those. Documentation and ecosystem certainly. EF as an ORM is a disappointment. Writing REST APIs is at least five to ten times as cumbersome and a lot more annoying. And I have to struggle a lot more to find libraries and support.

And it's not just a problem of being anti-Microsoft. Microsoft is running the show and can decide virtually anything (but not everything). You have to be Ok with that, whatever that means for you and your business.
It's only fundamentally different until some image manipulation program chooses to label AI driven interpolation as zoom.

Language is malleable, and so while it may be paranoid to question a feature labelled as zoom now, it's an open question how long that will last.
We seem to be going in the direction of making it as easy to start as possible, without actually understanding anything. `dotnet new` follow that, with creating a bunch of files that most beginners won't have any understanding of, instead of gently introducing you to each concept, so people understand what they are building inside-out.

For us I guess the need arose in a pure remote environment. But none of us had ipads to draw on at that time. Totally agree on the mixed / hybrid work setup though. I think I've had a million awkward meetings around a whiteboard with one or two remote team members trying to see what was going on with a laptop camera pointed to the whiteboard.

We realized quite quickly that we need good integrations for this tool to be really useful and we'd really love to have integrations with Teams and Meet as well. Those services are much tougher to get video into though but hopefully we can have something there relatively soon. Another cool use-case we think is together with digital whiteboards like Miro or FigJam. We have a pretty cool FigJam integration coming up which we're hoping will be a really nice experience.
I like sharedrop and was using it for quite some time; but as of late it has become unreliable, either not allowing clicking on other machines, or reporting the transfer as successful when the destination has received nothing at all.

I suspect this is primarily a UI issue, but the whole product is just a UI wrapper on a WWW protocol, so a mere UI glitch is quite devastating.

As a programmer who didn't start out in C# it took me many years of hearing .NET being talked about before I started realizing people actually talked about an application framework and not the second largest internet top level domain .net. It is the only technology that I had that problem with, other pieces with a strange name I just look up the strange name and see what it is, but when I saw .NET in a title I just assumed it was about the top level domain, what else could it be?

I think that absolutely matters a lot for the health of an ecosystem.

It's a simple enough thing to verify, or require the defence (in this case) to substantiate the claim without throwing out the method of showing evidence entirely.

Courts have to deal with questions like this all the time and handle them well enough. Technology isn't magic, nor do we have to go down a rabbit hole on each point about what might be there rather than what is there.
