Oh my apologies, I guess that excuses paying people so little that they can't survive off the wages and need food assistance from the government. Capitalism truly has all the answers!

Companies were in a race to the bottom for wages, and many still are. People working these jobs sure maybe they can get an education, or get a foot in somewhere else. What about the next person to fill the shitty role they left? It's a continuous cycle of shitting on the lowest paid people in society and it needs to stop
A single storefront for all platforms in all regions is likely impossible. But a single registry of purchases would work. Dare I say it, a block chain would even be a good implementation. Store fronts take money and pass it on to the developers, registering the ownership. Then the platform allows installation if the software is available and ownership can be confirmed. All without needing a central database or a bazillion remote APIs to query for every store or publisher.
It's like real estates, they rent services build upon IPv4 addresses.
It's not even based on needs anymore. Australia does not _need_ to burn nearly as much coal as it does. Sure, the last bit might be tricky to remove, but the fact that they do not even remove the amount that they can shows that they have no interest in getting rid of coal.
Looking at that screenshot, now I'm interested in how you can sign imessages with certificates. Even being able to have a certificate and look at the fingerprint, is much better than the current state of affairs where you just have to trust apple didn't swap out the keys.
There are too many examples of people from the same family, including identical twins, who had some many different outcomes in life. While DNA may play a role in helping mold us, the other thing called life has an incredibly stronger bearing on what makes us us including parenting and social interaction and schooling etc….
There's no magic answer here. We track various metrics (page load time, responsiveness, gc pause time, and so on) in telemetry. (You can poke around at telemetry.mozilla.org.) We have some page load benchmarks that load a recorded copy of various pages and track how long it takes to load. Sometimes capturing a profile of a particular site can help. Of the big JS benchmarks, we've found Speedometer to be the least bad, because there was at least an effort to mimic actual websites.

Microbenchmarks are tricky because it's very easy to measure something other than what you intend: differences in inlining heuristics, say.

In the long run, I expect performance-critical websites to migrate to webassembly.
I find that I agree. I like living downtown in a city and walking into the office. I don't care that rent is higher. I'd be living here regardless.

For me, the biggest thing is that I feel bad when I'm not fully productive at home. Half hour lunch break feels long, and I end up feeling guilty if I don't get enough done. When I'm in the office? Hell yeah I'm taking an hour lunch, possibly longer with some coworkers. We'll have random concersations and shoot the shit about life, work, etc.

I am much happier in the office. I hate remote. It's okay that some folks like it, more power to them. But I want to be in the office with coworkers who have to as well.

I totally agree with them.

Karat is actually systematically building an algorithm that EXCLUDES diversity of thought. I spoke directly with their CEO who was not interested at all in diversity , but just wanted to make the process "scalable".

Here is the problem:

The more companies use Karat as a service, the more companies will NEVER get to hire engineers who are unable to pass the karat interview process! I have personally programmed highly complex distributed systems, algorithms, and more, yet I have a disability which makes it difficult if not impossible to pass a karat interview.

The karat interview is the gatekeeper to the other companies. Therefor, Karat is LITERALLY blocking software engineers from getting in the door at other companies. Any software engineer that cannot pass the karat format of interview will never be able to get a job at any company that requires a karat interview to begin!!!!!
"are not part of the industry"?

Both Robert and Alberto are fairly well regarded art directors. You're clearly not familiar with the industry, which is fine, but at least refrain from making statements like that.

The fact that you can credit them with it all and dismiss Alberto as not being part of the industry is depressing. I suggest actually seeing who the initial art director they hired for Spiderverse was.

Even before Lord and Miller, Shrek is a completely different style of film than Pixar was putting out.

There were tons of CG films even around the early 2000s and 2010s that were experimenting in style. They just failed to reach critical success or weren't as in your face about it,

Lord and Miller certainly made the best films that also embraced style, but you're entirely too dismissive of the other people in the space, while laying too much at the feet of Lord and Miller.

They're certainly amazing directors and pushed style in their films, but saying they gave the industry a jolt is retconning things. Spiderverse definitely moved the needle a ton, but it's more than just them.

It's not just calories. A diet of vegan french fries, potato chips, and sugary beverages probably won't help vs. a balanced omnivorous mediterranean diet even if the overall calories are the same.

The gut microbe issue is interesting; vegan seemed to eat less sugar and fewer processed foods yet suffered from lower gut microbe diversity (and "below average" sugar and fat processing in spite of sustained energy and low cholesterol.)
I don't think that's all that important. There has been a general trend for a long time globally towards people leaving rural areas and moving to cities and suburbs. It is sometime in the past thirty years that I heard the announcement that global populations officially passed the fifty percent mark for human populations inhabiting cities more than rural areas for the first time in human history.

Suburbs got thrown up at breathtaking speed in part because it was greenfield development, which lowered some barriers to development. There is some saying about "Good. Cheap. Fast. Pick two."

At the time that they were carpeting the US at high speed, they were seen as good, cheap and fast. We are now seeing what the myriad hidden costs were, from cutting out lower income people to forcing people to be dependent on cars to cutting out people of color and also having environmental costs that were not factored in at the time.

The birth of the suburb predates the environmental movement.

The birth of the suburb is generally traced to Levittown in the late 1940s-early 1950s. The environmental movement is generally traced to the publication of a book called Silent Spring in 1962.

In IPv4, dynamically leasing different IP address by connecting is a mitigation of lack of address stock (at least dialup from PC era, I don't know how much effective in router era). In IPv6, ISPs don't need to do that so they can just lease dedicated IP block to customer. Then they don't need logging IP-to-customer-by-time for investigation.
Censorship of what "factual and relevant information"? Can you provide a concrete example?
Yeah I did, sorry.
for me, I was excited to interview with Indeed.com

However, their interview process requires a karat interview. Since I was unable to pass the karat interview (due to disability discrimination), I was unable to even speak with the team at Indeed!!!!!

Therefore, Indeed misses out, I miss out, and Karat gets paid.
You are clearly modestly competent at entrepreneurship and to the point where it's worth pursuing because of the high opportunity cost. I think it would be wise to take some time as a salaried employee while identifying and correcting the gaps in your skillset.
I tend to agree w the conclusion, but there were a couple of things I didn't understand. How is SARS-CoV-2 is destined to become the 5th circulating coronavirus? Where does the count of 5 come from? Also, is it definitive that that vaccinated spread the virus as much as the unvaccinateed?

Dishwashers on $90 (AUD) an hour as staff shortages smash hospitality sector
This does ignore the fact that rents are also, in fact, going up. Before the interest rate rose most people could not afford their own place in most cities on minimum wage. In SF we've been living with roommates well into our 30s. Lovely but not exactly how it used to be generally.

At the same time some of us salaried folks have gotten small windfalls this year, but most jobs haven't seen a comparable rise in salaries.

All of this leads me to be on team taxation.
Members of the National Guard who are qualified to do healthcare jobs are generally going to be doing the same thing in their civilian lives.
Preface: the product is probably fine, and certainly provides a nice simple UI which is perfect for it's intended use cases.

There is something fishy about the video, though.

You see in the video that Zoom has been keeping audio & video in sync.

In the first latency demo (https://youtu.be/Zju8YaRcSk4?t=50), we see not only latency on the audio, but also latency on the video.

In the second latency demo (https://youtu.be/Zju8YaRcSk4?t=225), once FarPlay is handling audio and they've muted Zoom, magically they've managed to synchronize the video.

Was this done post-edit for some reason?
I think that's called caring for someone.

>The closest homes to work are $1.15MM and $1.5MM. I’m not sure if the CEO is paid enough in cash to qualify for one of these homes on salary alone.

Obviously yes? You realize that most people mortgage their homes? A 1.5M, 30 year mortgage at today's rates (3.1%) translates to $76,863/year which seems pretty doable for a CEO (unless you're the garage startup type).
My wife and I play video games together on separate PCs.

Our computers are beside each other so we need to use headsets, it's important to hear 360 audio for footsteps and other sounds in shooters.

We need to hear each other, game audio, teammates voices, and each other's voice.

Our voices can sometimes bleed through the headsets so we need there to be little to no lag to reduce reverb.

Plus the faster our voices reach each other the faster we can react to the command / callout.

We can't use voice channels in the game, discord, or anything that goes over the internet.

Currently we use teamspeak with a local server, which works well, looking to reduce it more.

Sometimes we simply play with one headphone ear partially off, but that ruins the surround sound.
I 100% agree with you, but as i've stated a couple times here now. Once i've got the base of the system solid and working I will then implement proper security measures on-top of that. If you want to jump on-board and help out that'd be great! If you've already got an idea of how all this works then i'd be more than happy to use your expertise to make this project better. After all I am only one person so any help is welcome.
So much of the C/C++ ecosystem revolves around knowing your build tools that, for most intents and purposes, it should honestly be considered an integral part of the languages. If I ever teach an introductory C/C++ course, I would dedicate at least 1/4 of my time to explaining:

* What a translation unit is, and how compiling a translation unit to an object file works

* What a linker is, and how the linker combines object files into a library/executable

* What make/autotools/cmake are, and how they work

* What FHS is, and how it standardizes the lib/bin/include paths that C/C++ build tools read from/install to

And so on. Any C/C++ course that goes beyond a “Hello world” program without explaining these concepts in detail does its students a disservice.
Im really struggling to wrap my head around "not being wired for child care". We live in a world full of things that we as humans are obviously not "wired" for as we have created them in the past few hundred years, but the line gets drawn at child care for men?
Being 100% confident you've got a bit for bit copy of what you think you have, doesn't mean you have a restore process that works.

Unless you've tested and proven to your self you can bring up a working system from your backups, you've only done the first half of your disaster recover work.

For me, that means restoring onto your cold spare hardware (either identical or similar-enough for you), shutting down your system pulling it's drives and replacing them with blank ones and restoring onto that (but be careful you can be sure you don't need that specific hardware/firmware/peripherals - cause in 18 months time when someone backs a truck into your office and load all your electronics into it you might not be able to get an identical system), or restoring a running system onto newly provisioned instances on cloud-provider-of-choice.

Prove to yourself at least, that you can have business continuity in a know amount of time once you pull the pin on your DR/restore-from-backups plan.
I've not found that to be true in my career. Where remote work is the exception, rather than the rule, the remote employees are frequently in the dark, and often simply fail to work out. Managers can only do so much when you're missing the critical water cooler/hallway/impromptu meetings.

I've worked in remote-only environments, and (effectively) local-only, both of which worked pretty well. Local-first/remote-rarely hasn't worked.

I've not worked in anything close to 50-50, though, so perhaps that has a better shot at succeeding.

Bob bought a house this year. He paid $500,000 even though it should've been $200,000. He's paid $100,000 and still owes $400,000. If you cause his house to be worth $200,000, as it ought to be, regardless of the method, he's going to default on the loan and you'll have screwed him out of $100,000 and (at scale) bankrupted all the banks.

-- The gp actually make this clear and is grasping for alternatives to this scenario rather than advocating. So you reply is either ignorant or disingenuous.

Edit: Gp's quote before your quote - "If you start raising rates, and stopping QE, you're not actually getting the money back from the people you gave it to, you'll just get a lot of businesses to close." The same clearly goes for individuals.
>If so, wouldn't parents have a right to limit the freedoms of their own children according to their families moral and religious beliefs?

I will sidestep your question main question and instead nitpick your choice of words.

Families do not have moral and religious beliefs. People have moral and religious beliefs. The fact that the parents believe something absolutely does not imply that the children believe the same or that they should believe the same.

To your main point, I generally don't care about the right of parents to make decisions for their children. Parents are entrusted with children because it appears children do best when raised by their parents. If there were evidence that children do better if they are taken from their parents at birth, I would support doing so.
BS. Either is stealing and your attempt at rationalization does not make it something else. We just tolerate some things and level of tolerance varies greatly. There are bosses who would nail you to the wall should you take a pen with you and I also know bosses who would tolerate that $500 cake taken by PA.
Valhalla does one thing very well…super long ambient reverb. It’s pretty overrated IMO. The best reverb all around? For me, that title belongs to EastWest Spaces 2. It’s an impulse response reverb and is very realistic. Altiverb is another excellent reverb in this category. For algorithmic reverb, Fabfilter Pro-R takes the cake, IMO.
Would using something like this improve the quality of typical business meeting calls?

> I don't think this one is true anymore, assuming you type it correctly. I've provided an example[1].

You are correct that using a generic does fix the issue. But you called that "correct". But why, as a code author, should it be my responsibility to understand type theory better than my compiler? Because, according to basic type theory (to the extend that I understand it), TypeScript is allowing an operation that is literally incorrect in the first example. (mutable) Array types must be invariant in the type parameter. It should bitch at us for both examples.

And this won't happen with just arrays. It'll happen if you do the same thing with an object with a field. E.g., instead of `Animal[]`, we could have the function take a `{ pet: Animal }`, and pass it a `{ pet: Dog }`, and replace the Dog with a Cat, causing a runtime error for the poor schmoe who thought he still had a Dog.
I think the response you are replying to meant this sentiment: Ranch land can and occasionally does turn back into wild land, once its a subdivision its gone forever. Over the long run he is certainly right that less requirements for ranch land doesn't do anything to ensure that we get more land without fences.
Ask HN: What jobs are as high-paying and comfortable as a software developer?

Just to add to this list, even MacPaint used RLE on a per-scan line basis. I recently wrote about decoding MacPaint files[0]. So, replying to the gp post, yes it is in a sense reinventing the wheel. But sometimes the wheel needs to get reinvented because you have a new vehicle that could use a different type. And I would say the original poster felt he needed part of the modern wheel without the tire, so he had to go back to earlier wheel designs in a modern context. Okay, I've stretched the analogy too far!

I agree with all your points - but one thing I think about is: how do we fix what we have today? How do you fix the concrete jungles that most cities are today in the US. Or is it inevitable that more concrete will just be poured over time until some major natural disaster allows for a reset?
> Easily solved by not hitting people who own one property which is their primary residence.

This would discourage individuals from renting out their property for a small profit, which is exactly what you want to see more of to increase affordability (and liveability — not everyone likes renting from big investment firms and property management companies).
I don't know how to say this politely, but I'm afraid to answer this question because I suspect that it will just turn into either a language war or an argument along the lines of "Touché! I can point out a flaw in your favorite language, so obviously TypeScript and LanguageX are exactly equal and you're not allowed to criticize TypeScript!"
For smaller processes with tens of users the process often evolves quickly. This might be be because it was not well understood in the first place or because participants change their minds or forget what was originally agreed.

From my experience, there are not many people with a strong process mindset.
