"The amount of bullshit you have to deal with"

This. My state pays well. I have friend who earned his teaching cert but never used it because of how terrible student teaching was, including child behavior and school policies.
We don't need the government to step in, we need another video streaming company to come in and really compete with Youtube. The problem is that right now, Youtube has no direct competitors. Sure there is Vimeo and Rumble, but both aren't big enough to really threaten Youtube's bottom line.

The Rumble SPAC deal is interesting because it seems they may be the first company to have the capital to compete with Youtube. I have a strong feeling that once an actual competitor emerges, Youtube will tamp down on their censorship. They censor all day long now because they know creators don't have another option. Once that other option arises, the only thing that censorship will do for Youtube is loosing customers.
The revolving door between the financial sector and our government- if they jailed people now then when it's their turn to get rich off of their government connections they might risk jail.
Um, its being grown in Humboldt county in the middle of the forest. It is essentially incredibly cheap forced labor - but input costs are pretty low.

There is also pot being imported but a lot of it is grown in the state/national forests.
You should consider you've only been a dev in a massive bull market for software engineers. Teachers don't get laid off or face the types of uncertainty other types of careers do.

You'll always make more money in private industry but you will probably work more and have less time off. Teachers get a lot of time off and work about 35 hours per week during the school year. And then of course the summers. It's an especially good career if you have kids yourself as you are home when they are.
Tying minimum wage to productivity never made sense to me. Obviously as technology progresses, productivity would increase. There wouldn't be an incentive to invest in productivity-increasing tech if it was directly offset by wage increases.

Tying it to inflation though is a no-brainer. We do it for social security payments, congress salaries, etc. There's no justifiable reason for not doing this.
Just make the national minimum wage $15/hour instead of trying to micro-manage specific markets and businesses.
Should be noted that this is just the city tax, which MMJ patients already were exempt from. You still have to pay the 25% state tax.
“It's a damn shame about the state of user interaction with computers.”
For one there is no "the" Sea People. It is a uselessly broad term like barbarian, stranger, or foreigner. It is a xenophobic mark from the insular to those not known and liked as opposed to a group in itself. The users of such a term essentially prided themselves as land based empires.
it's not even covid that actually does the most damage, it's the hysteria around it as long as it keeps living rent free in every ones head.

This creates a system that encourages bribery.

Historically, such systems are legislated against and are often made illegal.

Example: Suppose you are a cashier working in retail. If at the end of your shift your drawer is short for whatever reason, you cannot make up the difference out-of-pocket. Your managager would be commiting a crime by accepting your money.
An extremely exhausting world, with no end in sight. I just wish all the money would run out or something, give (most of us) a break.
> Native American's also have nearly all of the same issues + more and you don't really see anyone advocating for reparations for them.

You actually do, it's called the "land back" movement. The idea is the same in both cases, which is to say restorative justice. Reparations for black people is to compensate for the non payment of labour under slavery and land back is to compensate for stolen land from native people.

Poverty traps are generally evil, true, and I think that UBI or something like that is a good way to address ahistoric poverty - but poverty rooted in historic actions by the American government should be addressed too, because black and native people today are still suffering from the repercussions of those actions. Germany addressed its actions in ww2 with reparations and concessions, it's a pretty typically American thing to not want to right America's historic wrongs.

Pretty much every argument against raising the minimum wage is disingenous in some way, but a lot of profits are at stake so we will get to hear them all eventually.
Does Zig support SIMD now?
Unpopular opinion here: these rules are stupid. It’s like fining or jailing someone for bluffing in poker. Of course people are spoofing or doing other manipulative activity.

Similar things happen in retail all the time with no jail sentences, it’s just not algorithmic. “40% off but the offer ends in 3 hours!” is designed to mislead you into thinking there is a short-term mispricing of the product in a very similar way.

Or the real estate market, where basically every single price you see is a lie.

Or the used car market - it’s $15k, but when you go to pay you find out it’s $5k more to actually get the wheels or something.

If only any of these other markets were HALF as clean and transparent as the lit public order books (even if they were unregulated!) they would be massively better than they are now.

> Its more than that. I have a few dispensarys in CA and the experience is shit. The places are loaded with cash because they cant legally accept credit or debit cards. So you have to bring cash or use their ATM and get charged a withdrawal fee. This also means they are targets for robbery so security at these places is crazy with guards, waiting rooms and check points. This meeans you have to wait upwards of 20 minutes just to get inside to wait on a counter line for another 10 minutes. The experience is miserable.

That sounds awful to me. Here in Canada, legal dispensaries accept debit, cash, and various credit cards; you can order online for in-person, same-day delivery (within a couple hours); you can order online and pickup in person, too. If you go in-person, you might have to wait if their employees are all helping other customers, but otherwise I can be in and out within 5 minutes.

> I pay $80-100 for 0.5 oz.

That seems obscene, coming from Canada. A decent-quality 28g bag of weed here tops out at 160 CAD, from what I've seen (edit: and I just bought an ounce I am perfectly happy with for 90 CAD). I'm not sure I've seen an ounce for more than that. Half-oz usually range from 60-80 CAD, depending on quality/sales.

At this point I greatly prefer the legal dispensaries to any black market weed for quality, convenience, price -- whether MOM or dealers. I think the only place dealers would have an advantage is more freedom to offer a better price to certain clients.
I prefer cargo. It works with rust only, it have no heaps of solved problems, but it just works. In any case I stopped doing system-wide installs of packages from outside of an official repository of my distro. No alien packages, no overlays. If I need something that is not in the Portage, I'd build it myself and I'd install it locally into ~/.local. This way is even better with cargo.
I have the same problem with Youtube TV. My wife cannot use youtube TV on her devices because of some country related issue. My guess is she made the grave mistake of logging into her gmail while traveling.

Speaking of not being able to use Google services, if my wife plays any music on our Google Nest at home, I cannot stream music in my car because "My Account is being used in another location". Seriously?

The whole point of agile is qualification through working software and getting feedback. There is no amount of analysis or requirements gathering that can compete with delivering an understanding of the requirements to serve as a model for how to move forward.
I know this type of response is generally not well seen on Hacker News, but I'd argue neither is a post like this very relevant :) Given that, I feel like it's OK to post this classic Simpsons clip.

The issue is not cement or how long it takes to be cured, rather the crude and easy determinism of it all.

Home builders don't generally face existential struggle with the timing of the issue.

You don't go 5x over budget and have it take 5x longer because of this.

You can reliably schedule around cement.
Sure there were self-learners that expanded their trade to supply others for coin. However blacksmithing was certainly a skilled artisan / tradesperson role from antiquity to medieval times that operated on an apprenticeship scheme. One often had to dedicate themselves to it exclusively.
I can see how the facts/opinions presented would be true if the Easter egg was a closed-source binary blob, but that would be farcical to do in an open-source project like curl.
I'm sure "It makes a lot of sense, which is why a lot of people follow it. Your comment is implying that somehow 1000s of people around the world don't realise they are doing something stupid." is exactly the comment that agile proponents heard when suggesting that waterfall may not be the right thing.

(not arguing for one or the other, just pointing out that this argument does not mean anything).

Thomas Friedman's "Thank you for being late" is a massive treatise on the idea that things aren't just changing fast, but that the rate of change is accelerating.

https://www.amazon.com/Thank-You-Being-Late-Accelerations/dp...

For a while after reading this, I believed that maybe we were in a bit of a slump and the rate of change wouldn't continue to accelerate. Now, with the societal / technological change brought by covid, the recent wave of building and excitement around Crypto (NFTs, DeFi, Web3), the continued jumps in AI, and a possible shift from phones to AR/MR glasses in the next few years, etc it's hard not to feel that the acceleration is continuing.
It could be, seems like they already had something in WASM for doing this so it made more sense to use that than re do on LLVM IR.
Chernobyl's Air Is Now 47 Percent Less Radiated with Novel Technology
That makes no sense. You can still, as a user, do whatever you want with GPL software. The GPL is long because it has to be in order to protect the user's rights; It's an actual contract between the source provider and anyone who uses it. It also doesn't require a lawyer to read. Just sit down for 10 minutes and read it yourself; It's pretty straightforward.
I've been doing this a long time. As far as I can tell, it comes down to senior leaders in software development wanting to make some sort of success story to further their own careers. It's much easier to buy into somebody else's canned success story plan. Hence the popularity of stuff like "Scaled Agile". Which is funny to me, because in practice, it's heavier than old school MS Project and Waterfall development. Even the diagram they use to summarize the concept is laughably undecipherable and complex[1]. Same reason companies latch onto 6-sigma, Clifton strengths, TOGAF, Total-Quality-Management, and so on.

I do recognize there is some actual "good stuff" in there. I'm a fan of the textual agile manifesto.

Nicely demonstrated but I actually had to type this in (cut-n-paste) these commands to understand.

Probably could IMHO benefit from some simpler sentences to help most like-minded engineers to bridge the Linux namespace knowledge gap and get there quicker.

THEN again, I am not most like-minded engineers, just a lowly zero-buf network software architect for a layer-5 IPS/IDS system.

At any rate, it’s a great article of HOWTO “get there” due to its actual inner-working and interactivity between network realms being exposed.

Keep it up.

"We don't need the government to step in, we need another video streaming company to come in and really compete with Youtube. The problem is that right now, Youtube has no direct competitors"

This is incredibly naive. All that would happen is both services would use similar automated systems for moderation - it is cheaper for them. They would have no incentive to provide good support.

We need regulations that require access to human judgement for digital services. When millions of people use a service, even a 1% error rate in moderation / account disabling has a real impact on a lot of peoples lives.
Same here, I love mine. I've been using them for about 6 years now I think, and my eyes are noticeably more fatigued at the end of a day when I don't wear them for some reason. Could be completely placebo, but I'll absolutely take a cheap placebo that works.
Concentration of Power
This is a good thing to check. However, do be aware that a lot of apps check the number of physical processors in the system rather than the CPU affinity mask for the process, even though the latter is almost always what they ought to be using.
Interesting. I keep seeing marketing on “no hidden flow control”, but I’m curious what flow control is being hidden in other languages? Are they talking about exception handling?
There's no free lunch.

Most of school budget comes from the property taxes inside school districts. To pay teachers more money, the voters simply need to go through whatever are the steps to increase the property taxes to accommodate the budget increase. Until that is done, all of this is just talk.
It's also a shame that this paper in turn doesn't cite "Testing Heuristics: We Have It All Wrong" (J. N. Hooker, 1995) (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.71....), which discusses these issues in much the same way. It's good to see in "The Benchmark Lottery", however, that they look more into specific tasks and their algorithmic rankings and provide some sound recommendations.

One thing that I'd add (somewhat selfishly as it relates to my PhD work), is the idea of generating datasets that are deliberately challenging for different algorithms. Scale this across a test suite of algorithms, and their relative strengths and weaknesses become clearer. The caveat here is that it requires having a set of measures that quantify different types of problem difficulty, which depending on the task/domain can range from well-defined to near-impossible.

Sure, but security isn't everything, there is also accessibility, and I balance them by allowing even plaintext HTTP traffic on non-sensitive websites, because to me it is more important to allow access than to provide so-called "privacy", which IMO means very little with HTTPS anyway.

well, I'm sure that some of dailymail, rt, breitbart, etc, is alright too. does it matter?

Funny, notdan also advocated for an infamous blind neo-Nazi hacker recently released from prison be platformed and given an opportunity to "tell his story" which coincidently involved swatting myself and my family (among months of other forms of harassment).

Fuck notdan.
Terrible idea. I supported a dozen Xserves back in the day. They were crap because they weren't designed for production use. They used nonswappable, commodity retail IDE drives not meant for 100% duty cycle operation. Fixed power supplies. Real enterprise servers were cheaper.

Mac minis don't have redundant power or ECC. You might as well run a bunch of RPis or PICs. Get yourself some real enterprise servers or rent some via a VPS.

Disclaimer: I use a Mac mini as my living room HTPC. I wouldn't run anything real on it. That's what I have a 96 thread EPYC virtualized box for.
It's compiling the webasm back to C, so it's not running bytecode.
Indie game studios have managed it. They're a response to the current era of bloated AAA titles that discourage single-player modes and nickel and dime the user with frequent microtransactions to keep the recurring revenue coming.

Speaking for myself, I have replaced Adobe CC with Affinity Publisher, Designer and Photo. A one-time fee for software I can use forever, as opposed to paying forever regardless of whether I use it or not.

I also have Dreamweaver and Flash-type animation tools (Bootstrap Studio and Tumult Hype) that are also one-time fee apps.
That's what I though too. C compilers should be able to achieve that directly, and it's incredible that nobody though of doing so yet.

What's great, though, is that they are achieving this with tools that are already available.
This is a really powerful tool and I hope we see this used more. Traditional process based sandboxing is very efficient inside the process, but IPC is very expensive. This approach flips the tradeoffs exactly backwards as the sandboxed code is slower, but IPC is nearly free. This means that it can cover exactly the space that was too expensive to sandbox before. The two approaches are perfect compliments for each other. I now imagine that the vast majority of code can be put into one of these two groups leaving very little code that is unable to be sandboxed for performance reasons.
