> Your competitor down the street paying more money would then get the better employees and drive you out of business.

No, they would cooperate and set an informal maximum wage to replace the minimum one (or more accurately, they would lower the already informally established maximum wage.) This would be a win-win for both businesses.

It's not a coincidence that all low-wage jobs pay between 0% and 25% over the minimum wage, and it has nothing to do with labor demand. It's because a bidding war is no good for anyone, and because having the best low wage employees will not improve net revenue more than always paying as little as possible. The idea that the Burger King paying $22/hr is going to drive the McDonald's paying $14/hr out of business is a libertarian fantasy never borne out by reality.

Maybe I did something wrong, but when I looked it up online when that happened, that's what I read.
It will probably take some time, but sites such as roseindia and expertsexchange also clouded search results in a similar manner. They are now history because Google and others deranked them to the depths of hell.
I am working on algo's for automated measurement and assessment of carbon footprint. If anyone's into this as well, or just curious, shoot me an email, would be very glad to know you.
While I'm skeptical that the only way to implement this kind of system is through a constitutional amendment but I agree with you that constitution amendments to explicitly place limitations on domestic law enforcement would be a really good idea.

What other policies do you think we should put in place to rein in corrupt law enforcement in America?
People here on HN get it. But usually average Joe who isn't into tech doesn't find out they can't trust in these companies until it's too late.
You can set the attribute loading="lazy" on an <img> tag and the browser will do it for you. Looks like Edge and Chrome and Firefox support it, but not Safari yet (https://caniuse.com/?search=loading).
This may seem cynical but this pattern gets rewarded by the market
Reminds me of my "Uranium is 100% all-natural!" quip.
I'm almost wondering if this might be useful for a research lab, to prototype HPC algorithms. Like, I don't really want to run stuff on a big cluster or supercomputer while running my code. And it would be nice to have a tiny little cluster that hits bottlenecks while solving matrices that I can easily run on my desktop.

Sounds like you need to get more fluent with Python.
When people ask me how startup life is I talk a lot about the roller coaster. You can be on top of the world and in the pits of the despair in the same day. One of the struggles is that often you are the only person thinking about something and so many burdens rest entirely on your shoulders. I've found these 4 things help:

1. Having very frank and open conversations with your co-founders. Hopefully you have a founding team you can be really honest with. Go on walks. Talk about your feelings. It can take awhile to build this relationship but it's very worth it.

2. Find mentors. Doesn't have to be someone you meet with every month (though those are great too!) but if you're struggling with some imposter syndrome on a new task ask your investors to intro you to 2-3 people who have done that thing well before. Everyone is happy to share advice. I go into those meetings and say "Hey I'm XYZ, I'm working on this ABC task and would love your advice, here is what we are doing today and what we're planning on doing. What would you do if you were me?"

3. Get a coach. You investors can probably intro you to someone. They can run from $250-$1000+ an hour but very worth it. I meet with my coach 2x a month and it's kind of work therapy. A chance for me to be very vulnerable about where I am and to talk out my problems.

4. Show some vulnerability to your company. Every now and then saying hey I'm not sure about this thing or I'm new to this can actually inspire more faith in you because then when you say hey I'm confident in this thing, they believe you more since you were willing to share a time when you weren't confident. Also can inspire them to speak up if they aren't sure. If we all go around pretending we know everything all the time then our employees will do that too and then you have a culture where things aren't optimal but people don't think they can talk about it or get help.
"Setting the size of elements before they load"

I host a personal photo gallery online and I've been dreading implementing this for images to get rid of the jump when lazy loading. I'm not even sure there's a good way to do it.
Very sad for the 3d printing community. He was truly inspirational and he was the reason things got so big because he pushed open source.
Disagree. Artificial benchmarks and p hacking for showing good performance in CS are also statistically proven. The best result in geekbench doesn’t mean anything to me.
> I don't think it's valid to argue that people discussing how to prevent victimization, are somehow "victim blaming".

Weird also, that talking about preventative measures is only considered "victim blaming" when it comes to certain specific topics. If you say it's a good idea to wear a seat belt or helmet in your car or motorcycle, it's not victim blaming. If you say people ought to lock their doors at night, it's not victim blaming. We tell our kids not to get into strangers' cars--not victim blaming. What is it about this topic that always seems to set off the alarms?

I used to really over-share online, and reading stories like these over the years has helped a great deal to educate me about good online OpSec and privacy best practices. I have data sharing/storage habits to this very day that stem from good advice received from others.
That's only disallowed because of the sex angle. If your boss tells you "come to this work sponsored luncheon for a person you hate or be fired", that's not blackmail and is perfectly allowed.

Don't pollute comparisons with situations that have other considerations
You are blaming the victim because you think you are beyond failure.

Someday you might be hacked. Is it your fault for using technology at all knowing you can be hacked?

Darebee uses body weight, much less risk than lifting heavy. Sure it's much better to have a trainer, but not essential like the lifts you mentioned.
There's plenty of Mini-ITX motherboards which accept a socket-ed processor though. It's less of a specialty form factor these days where only VIA is participating in and something that more mainstream manufactures are making as well such as Gigabyte and ASUS.
Short swords do 40% more damage than daggers on average (1d6 vs 1d4) and this matters less over time as strength is maxed and magic bonuses are applied. If this Roman was at high level, the two words were effectively interchangeable for him.

Sure, but that doesn't really take away from my point. I think people are more willing to say that Linux is "open source" because they are allowed to fork it and make their own thing, embodying the spirit of FOSS.

It's perfectly valid to criticize the kernel maintainers for including binary blobs, it certainly annoys me, but it's not equivalent to what Wolfram does with Mathematica.

I actually used Trisquel for about a year. It was fine.
One thing that makes SO an easy target for this is that they let you download all their data and you don't even need to crawl and scrape the content from the website. Just download a dump, put it in an database, slap an HTML template on top of it, splash a few ads, and boom.
Great for those with support, safety nets, options & abilities. The young, the mentally challenged, the old, the handicapped, the convicted... they're supposed eat cat food and go sleep under an overpass until they get motivated/healthy/unconvicted/a car/____?
True, but I'm not into the idea that the rando dude lowballing me for an iPhone and getting mad at me when I say "no" now knows what I look like.
I guess you are thinking of a situation where you would run this on a on-prem server system that you had a hand in spec'ing out? Yes it's possible to do this, but most Node apps in use run in various cloudy environments, possibly containerized, that you have less control over, and of course on random dev setups that people have. If you put out an open source Node module, you'll have devs trying to run it on systems with plentiful variability.
Web dev allergy in my case. You probably don't see it anymore, but for someone that didn't start with it, it's very convoluted and seems very brittle.

I want a compiler that colors my code red when I make a mistake, not an environment that behaves like nothing happened.

I don't want to juggle 3 different languages, need to download the whole internet when I want a simple function like left pad.

Although I despise what MS stands for, C# is a joy to use. I can't comment on Uno, I chose Flutter for my mobile needs, mainly because MS still hasn't got its shit together as far as UI are concerned.
Youre right, platform support on MAUI is different than Xamarin so that part isnt necessarily accurate.

A large segment of the community uses XAML yeah. I think it just tends to be those that came to it through .net or those that came to it through native app dev. I prefer C#, and it seems MAUI has a better story around that with its partial focus on MVU style dev.
In addition a few months ago the exact thing happened to one of the subcontractors that apple uses for phone repairs[0] (as has been mentioned elsewhere in these comments). Unless you think the "procedures" that googles subcontractors have are better than those of these other subcontractors who did exactly this, it's clearly possible.

And the people peddling misinformation have no financial benefit? They don’t want you to subscribe to their patreon or their newsletter? Watch their YouTube videos?

Also the reason Pfizer or other people pay for studies that may disprove their drugs is because they actually don’t know whether the drugs work or not! They are paying to find out. Studies fail all the time. You’ve picked one of the most successful studies and treatments of all time to show the system is rigged. Look at all the ones that didn’t work. Why doesn’t Merck, the largest pharma company, have a vaccine? If it’s so easy to fabricate the data, why didn’t they? Why didn’t their virologists lie? Is Merck the only honest pharma company?
Those affirmations. I honestly wish I practice these habits, but I get caught up in my head and feel like if anyone, ya know, found it, and maybe put it on twitter, that I wouldn't go outside for maybe a decade.
Google knows instantly how much time you spend on a page and how quickly you return to the search results because it is a useless copy/paste page from SO.
Oh, standards were a guidance back then? You had it good!

I'm only half kidding.

The bluetooth standard is very heavy on the architecture astronaut factor and light on the specification. It isn't so much a "standard" as an anthology of visions for wireless connectivity, each of which delegates all of the important decisions to the layer above. Which means that all of the decisions wind right back up in the implementer's lap, and the implementer has to sort out the compatibility matrix the old fashioned way, one compatible partner stack at a time. But everything still has to be built out of the lego pieces the architecture astronauts came up with, of course. Ugh.

It's like if someone asked for a standard to send mail, and instead of SMTP they came up with "The English Language." All the necessary degrees of freedom are there, but it doesn't constrain the problem space, so it's almost completely useless as a standard.

EDIT: No, that's too simple, a lot of people already speak The English Language. Klingon, then. All the necessary degrees of freedom are there...

There's nothing tonedeaf about exploring how the situation can be avoided in the future.

Obviously, the phone being borked is relevant, but in that case we need to ask what preemptive measures can be taken on a phone that isn't yet borked. It may be that the only answer right now is "don't keep nudes on your phone" then that's unfortunate and should be addressed.
Been trying to work through interpreters/compilers/PL with the idea that it will help me solve many different problems.

A shift in the way rain falls in America
I think the question is framed such as it already assumes the employer perspective: you should only get off on federal holidays, or at least religious ones.

But if you want some justifications: christmas is the biggest holiday in the (once?) christian-dominated west, and in the US in particular it is quite common for family to be separated by hundreds or even thousands of miles of travel. It is also common practice for people to celebrate christmas eve with one side of the family and christmas day with the other, if they live closely enough to each.

All that aside, it is less about not getting christmas eve off than it is about there being absolutely no reason for us to be there at all. The company recognizes that there is some importance to the day for its employees by cutting the day in half in the first place, yet even though all evidence shows that there is no reason whatsoever to be there and it's costing the company more to have people there than it will ever make from it, they still insist that people show up. It's not even rational slave-driving.
Can an employee opt-out? I don't mind when my boss contacts me after hours. I'm happy to jump on a serious issue in a timely manner, when needed. My boss has never abused this willingness and if he did I'd be happy to have a conversation with him about it myself. I don't need anybody else to intervene on my behalf.
I'm not the OP, but I would guess he was coming at it from an app point of view rather than an implementation environment point of view -- as in, "why should I write an app this way (assuming I could use any language/tools)?"

If you are already locked-in to .NET, then it's a different question.

> here's a talk given by Rob Johnson a few years ago at Microsoft Research: BetrFS: A Right-Optimized Write-Optimized File System https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBt5NuNsoII

Interesting talk, I wonder how much of the perf. advantage diminishes in a finished, production-ready implementation though.

Comparing an 80%-complete R&D prototype mule against crash-resilient posix-compliant production filesystems is basically never a fair perf. comparison.

You might find that just implementing rename and hard-links properly alone is going to kill your perf. since you dispensed with on-disk inode equivalents.

Nice to see people poking at these issues nonetheless, Linux needs better filesystem options.
Target | Full Stack Lead Engineer - Cyber Security | Brooklyn Park, MN or Remote (US) Full-time

https://jobs.target.com/job/brooklyn-park/lead-engineer-secu...

New job posting for a Lead Engineer to work in our group. Javascript and Node.js heavy. Vue.js experience is great, but not required. Work on new and existing tooling to monitor internal and external web facing attack surface and look for threats to our org and our guests.

If you're a developer who enjoys bug bounties, reverse engineering malicious code, trying to get APIs to do things they're not supposed to, etc this may be a great fit for you. Remote available with minimal travel required (typically just quarterly onsites for planning, etc). Flexible work arrangements for onsite workers. It's a role in Cyber Security but no security experience is required. Great role for a developer looking to get into the security space.

Very small team that will be moving fast with minimal overhead and lots of room for innovation and testing out novel ideas.
Picking up a generic Intel Mini-ITX board and dropping a cheap Celeron or i3 into it can produce some surprisingly low idle powers. Around 10-11W is not uncommon, which is lower than this quad Raspberry Pi 4 board.

The key is to pick motherboards with minimal features (few extra chips to power) and an Intel CPU. Intel historically has much better idle power than AMD, although AMD held the power efficiency crown under full load for a while.

Here's a random example from years ago of a cheap Mini-ITX motherboard and CPU with minimal idle power: https://mattgadient.com/building-a-low-power-pc-on-skylake-1...

The ITX motherboards with built-in CPUs are great if you can find them, but they basically disappeared when the chip shortage kicked in. CPU vendors put all of their production into the expensive money-making parts.
An intriguing story.
Yeah… but why? You’re telling me what is the case currently but I’m wondering why the copper, fiber, and switches can’t be replaced by the 5G solution.
Out of stock. I guess it's a hit.

sorry for misinfo. torrents are not at all web3. web3 usually means decentralized plus backed by blockchain. DTube and Steemit are some products built on web3.
PlayCanvas[0] is the probably the closest "web-first" solution compared to Unity. Used by lots of Snap Games & Instant Games. It's written in JS which means that it's way smaller ~350kB for an empty scene if I recall.

Uno is a product that targets a specific portion of the dev community, i.e. devs who want UWP XAML. It (theoretically) allows you to take an existing UWP app and run it cross platform.
How often were they doing this before the Branch Davidian raid? I honestly don't know. If it was rare it's hard to infer anything from what they've done or not done since.

I loved day 19 because I managed to use some Automata theory I studied at uni. Something like, I cannot simply use a regex because it's a context-free grammar. Then I learned about recursive regexes and how they could be used to parse a cfg. Aaah fascinating, really.
And it’s particularly irresponsible at the moment, because our hospitals in Germany are so clogged with mostly unvaccinated Covid patients that my father-in-law is having to just suffer with a hernia because that repair surgery is “elective”. It’s been rescheduled twice, and they’ve not bothered to give him a new date after the last cancellation.
I think one thing that would be interesting would be a fully native build environment and full native development tools for the Raspberry Pi.

Building Ubuntu OS images from scratch on a Raspberry Pi server equivalent machine would be very interesting.

For the non-embedded firmware engineer it is a-trivial to wrap your head around initially w.r.t. cross compiling Linux distros using ARM compilers running on an x86 host.
I have the same question. Since Supabase still exposes the connection parameters to the database, we could spin up another Flask server to deal with routes that are not expressible as simple CRUD operations. The JWT secret shared by the auth service (GoTrue) with Postgrest is available too, so I could also use it to authenticate the users myself.

@supabase developers, is this a reasonable way to do things or am I missing something?
