This section is particularly important and worth re-reading:

> Being “anti-mimetic” does not mean being a ‘contrarian’ or refusing to imitate one’s peers. That’s what every hipster thinks he’s doing, too. “Everyone leaves the beaten path only to fall into the same ditch,” wrote the social theorist René Girard, the father of mimetic theory. This kind of naive rejection of the culture is not what we’re talking about here.

This mindset runs deep in tech communities, where some people seem to think they can build a personality around doing everything differently than others. It’s the person who can’t resist the urge to remind everyone that they don’t use a popular text editor, programming language, or operating system.

I’m actually all for exploring the less popular path and trying different things. It becomes a problem, however, when someone can only view every choice as a false dichotomy in which only one option can be chosen. And of course, they’ll find a way to casually mention how they chose the less popular of the two options every time it comes up. They need everyone to know they are different (which they believe is equivalent to being better).
Partly related, the No Bullshit Guide to Linear Algebra has a concept map as a first page, which looks really stunning. Author definitely had spent time mindmapping stuff before writing.

Needs are things that people need in order to live with dignity and respect; they are not simply "things you'd die if you didn't have."
That may well be true (FWIW I agree that it's a problem and it's getting worse), however, that's not a "labor shortage" or low supply of labor, eh?
I have been pondering this recently, and I feel the most fair solution is to simply reduce the of landowners to have input on what other people do with their land.

I believe the comparison to limited farmland is actually much more appropriate. Land in SF or Seattle is a very valuable and scarce resource. It can help a lot of people when used efficiently.

If you take Seattle for example, the land isn’t valuable because NIMBYs did such a great job running the city. They’ve done an awful job. Every possible mistake has been made. The land is valuable because it’s close to Amazon or Microsoft.

I don’t think that a decline in my property’s value should be a basis for legal restrictions on another person’s right to use their property. That seems like a hijacking of the legal system for my own personal wealth at the very real cost of others.

If a wealthy landowner in Seattle wants a yard and hates the look of skyscrapers, they can sell their land for millions of dollars and buy in a community more suited to their tastes. Nobody likes to move, but making it illegal to use land efficiently for one’s own convenience is frankly pretty disgusting to me.
that just means that it's getting faster, while still drawing a lot more power.

My older i9-based Mac was additionally having thermal problems when the AMD graphics chip was used, which added another 20+ watts to the power consumption: use of external screens, video conferencing, ...

The new MacBook Pro happens to vastly improve the power consumption of the CPU, the powerful GPU and the Thunderbolt interface.

Yes, there has been a trend of working longer. Those older age groups have much lower participation rates to begin with.
Well, how about you do a PhD and publish a paper?
So the company was designed to fail if wages increased?
This project makes heavy use of the RP2040 "Programmable IO" PIO subsystem to do precise timing of input signals without needing to keep the cpu in a busy loop. No other microcontroller has that same subsystem, although other microcontrollers have differently-designed systems that allow similar results. The audio library would need to be rewritten though.
It would be really cool if a small decoding binary could be printed on the back as a massive QR code. Then the paper would be all you'd need to recover the original document.
Blockchains that don't use proof of work are as wasteful as any other electronic platform

Also proof of work can be translated into anything, like serving websites, images, processing video, and in that case is equivalent to any cloud or hosting provider
Easy said than done. Capitalism is imperfect, but socialism is worse, much worse.

Let the market decide, and let the welfare to help those truly in need(those disabled or mentally ill, but not the lazy), use tax as a way to mitigate the gap.

It's imperfect, but nobody has designed a perfect system yet. The government actually did its part(food stamps, free lunch, section 8 housing, no tax or low tax for low income families,etc), doing more will lead all of us to poverty(been there seen that).
> Now both sides have a “no deal I’ll wait” option.

No, only the workers do. The companies will go out of business without workers, but the "workers" (should we even call them that if they choose not to work?) will live off of our tax dollars through our safety net programs without jobs.
Ticket agent recalls anger in Atta's eyes
Looking at that nature article I think the delusion is that influenza hasn't also been causing many more problems in young healthy people like the ones described and that makes it hard to have a real discussion about what to do if after everyone has had at least one exposure to a COVID virus we end up with data showing we have gotten to two pandemics that should be equally (un)acceptable.
Congrats to OP! Most of this resonated with me and is good advice. Perhaps some things like getting a Masters degree did not (I’m American with only an undergrad CS degree). Huge props for maintaining the same lifestyle and goals as earnings increased. I wish that was my case lol! Most people’s life circumstances will never allow this level of success. On the other hand I also see many years of hard work and dedication that many commenting about luck could follow but choose not to or don’t realize is available to them. So for anyone discounting this as luck I challenge you to reconsider.

By all means, use email, but why not use MQTT? I have 3 or 4 small self-hosted home servers, and I set up simple mosquitto_pub bash scripts to relay server messages. The main advantages that I see are speed, low resource usage and the ability of multiple people to subscribe to the message topic concurrently. It also means you don't need an email client; if need be a simple mosquitto_sub is enough.
Beware that many masters programs from top schools are degree mills and the undergrads who went there know this and actively loathe them (based on their experience sharing classes with them). At least for my particular school. I remember helping out with resume screening at a job fair and we would sort everyone who went to that masters program to the bottom of the pile. A handful of them turned out to be good candidates on second pass, but it sucks that they probably would've had a better chance just leaving off their masters.
But now we're moving away from being simple to compute.
I think they meant that the same advice is presented in a different context as self-help/better worker advice.

I can see what they're saying, a lot of this also gets mentioned as productivity advice:

- Anti-Mimetic Scheduling: take advantage of the off-peak times

- Building a Deep Bookshelf: allocate 10% of your annual reading to books where you know you’re not going to ‘agree’ with the fundamental premise

- Don’t Participate in the Shark-Tankification of Worth

- Learn to Navigate without GPS: It kills the brain and it kills the wandering — the spirit.

- Stop Writing to Please

- etc.
> The script should be decently self-explanatory [...] Please note that this is all single-threaded, which I don’t recommend - with nohup and the like, you can trivially parallelize this.

How do you parallelize a loop in bash without getting all the echo's intertwined and jumbled together?
That is very true, especially at charge time you want to make sure your batteries are not too cold.
Yeah until word supports vim bindings it's not going to be very efficient.
It's still ignored by a lot of people who do not hesitate to argue apartheid is bad, yet can't stomach the comparison. Tutu's willingness to call Israeli government policy apartheid, alongside other prominent apartheid fighters, like e.g. Arthur Goldreich, matters greatly in legitimising resistence against those policies. Even so every new person or organisation deciding to come out and saying this is still met with fierce resistance.
Yes but Ross had really poor operational security. He reused identities across stack overflow. If you want to prove that someone had a private key stolen and had poor operational security what this hypothetical person could do is as follows.

1. Takes the private key of the person in question.

2. Immediately sends an email to a fence or just sends the BTC to an exchange.

3. Takes the money.

In a court case you could claim the following:

The user that got their private keys stolen has record of a file containing a private key that they own which is older than the other user and has done at least one purchase with it.

If the person who stole your private key has transactions that aren't older than the original owner that's how you could argue the case.
Frankly, it’s not a strawman. Look on twitter and you’ll find plenty of evidence of that kind of thinking.

> but I find there is often a trend among the Right to highlight random views held by an extremely small minority of people (ie. a single tweeting American among 315 million Americans) and demand a disavowal of that rhetoric. I think this is in bad faith.

Agreed. Where I disagree is that the left doesn’t do this exact same thing, or that these views are held by “a single tweet” and not, say, entire online communities.

For the record, I generally agree with you, but to the same extent that avowal can go too far, it is very easy to go too far in assuming all ridiculous positions on our side are strawmen. A lot of people do think that way. Nothing wrong with acknowledging privilege — but you don’t need to feel personally guilty over things out of your control like your inherited wealth or your skin color. I think we can all agree on that.

The question is, what are you doing during this "holding out" phase. Living on savings? Working a different job? Some other support system?
And in places where there are REAL worker protections, like the Scandinavian countries, a Big Mac is cheaper than in Seattle, potentially partly because employers aren’t responsible for healthcare.

But my point is that the commenter overstated the impact of paying higher wages dramatically.
Alternatively, the government makes advance purchase agreements because it’s that important, and this has nothing to do with denying manufacturers their profits. (Covid vaccines.)
The trackers in your site use cookies, and browser fingerprinting to create a profile of the visitors to your site, which combined with other data on the visitors is used to identify them personally.

That on its own should give you pause. But that data is then used by companies like Facebook or Google to allow the highest bidder to alter that users behaviour - by getting them to believe some propaganda, to vote for a political party, or to spend money on something they don’t need.

That’s the business model. That is how you make money on your site.

This is true if it is a barter exchange (under U.S. tax law at least). However I have a hard time seeing this as a barter - what are you getting in exchange for your attention that has a positive fair market value?
I'm not going to change your mood but I hope someone else reading this interaction early in their career will come out of it with an optimistic mindset instead of a cynical one. It pays off better.
> The alternative perspective here is that obviously money supply and inflation is correlated, but for exactly the opposite reason: when prices go up without real values changing, people are still going to need the same real stuff, so banks and governments will print more money so people can afford the things they need.

Clearly untrue. It can be reasoned from first principles that expanding money supply leads to rising prices. Furthermore, if governments answered price inflation by expanding money supply even more, it would lead to hyperinflation.
You can't replicate Gmail, but with Mailcow I've gotta say the whole process is pretty seamless. You can throw it onto a 5 euro VPS at Contabo, run docker-compose up and be done. Just regularly run the update and backup scripts to make sure you're up to date but that's it, really.

I'm pretty sure it's not possible for companies to simply decide to pay everyone across the economy better in real terms so they can "live a meaningful life", for the simple reason that all of the things those workers want to buy need to be produced, which in turn is constrained by the availability of workers (amongst other things). If a whole bunch of businesses become non-viable due to not being able to get labour, that actually decreases the supply of stuff to buy which means people's pay has to become worse in real terms. Now, of course there are ways to reduce the number of workers required, but the easy options will have been taken by now leaving only capital-intensive choices that require taking other scarce resources (like, say, chips) away from being used to create things people buy directly.

There's no magic hoard of money being sat on by the rich or corporations that could just be used to pay people better in real, inflation-adjusted terms. That's inherently limited by the availability of actual stuff, and the super-wealthy just aren't a high enough proportion of overall consumption that there's any way for them to that. Maybe if we were in a 2008-style crisis where unemployment was high and the problem was the financial system there'd be clever solutions involving redistributing money or something, but that's not the reality we're living.
Even if the regulators attacked more websites it wouldn't matter. You'd just have more and more websites that block European users.

You can't expect websites to give you a pop up that asks whether they can monetize your visit or not. Everyone's going to click "refuse" because ads are annoying. As a consequence your website makes no money. At that point why run the website at all?

Regulators don't want to regulate too hard, because it would ruin all the freely available websites.

When one possible outcome of failure to moderate is, for example, genocide, then yes a duty exists.

We've seen what the natural state of even modestly-sized fora with no effective moderation is. They simply don't function.

You'll find this in real-world spaces as well, in the forms of attractive nuisance, negligence, joint liability, and other forms. There are reasons venues provide security in potentially volatile crowd situations, from bars and nightclubs to sports arenas.
It shouldn't be required by law or anything like that, agreed. But if you can work but choose not to, nobody should be giving you any money or paying for anything for you.
Contract life

"Sorry but I'm working with another client right now I will get back to you"

You bill more per hour; you bill less than 40 hrs/wk; you get higher pay but have to pay full cost of insurance; it averages out. Then there's the other issue where the pay for some technology positions is so high that even if I only got half pay I'd still be pretty well off in general life ...

My long term experience is people say they like working less than 40/wk but in practice everyone seems more happy with work 80 this week and near 0 next week depending on workload. If the company had precisely 40/wk of work to do every week then they'd skip the contract hassle and hire a feudal peon aka full time "long term" W-2 employee, but contractors provide day to day flexibility.

At companies that are more successful than median, they don't outsource their core competencies so you won't get contractor positions to do "rockstar" revenue generating stuff, but they still need temps to do conversion projects or expansions or experiments. At companies less successful then median, they will outsource their core competencies so you could contract program at a below average software company. My point is its easy and common to get unusual side background unseen work at great companies, and only be in the middle of things at failing companies, so if you want a different combination, like being a rockstar at the center of a great company, you generally have to be a W-2, sadly. Then again there's a lot of money to be made under the contractor model.
>Somethings are easy to argue for. I.e. look at used techstacks and how they work together (React, FastAPI, sqlalchemy).

Are they? If you recursively try to answer the question "why", I'm certain you'll end up at some level of "because uhm, because uhm... Because I saw someone else do it that way and haven't given it much thought".

Conversations with beginners who know nothing to assume anything is a humbling experience. Some of questions they ask seem to cut right at your area of incompetence.
My gut feeling is that if you don't already know anyone you could talk to about this—which is the likely result of being an expert in the field, studying at a high level and interacting with other such experts—your design probably isn't going to work better than what's already out there, and even if it did, you wouldn't have the credibility with the field to get them to listen to you without years of work building relationships and trust.

I'm not going to try to claim that it's impossible to self-train in nuclear physics to the degree necessary to come up with a novel fusion reactor design that's a) viable, and b) genuinely novel, but it's going to be so vastly less likely than the various alternatives that, as the sibling commenter notes, even if you've already got 100% of the knowledge and understanding required to do this and you're 100% right, your best bet is almost certainly to get into a PhD program in this field, and publish this as your dissertation.

This thread does not contain the entirety of discourse about privilege.
What's the criticism here? These are just truisms.

E.g., suppose the defining trait of group D is: "always reads the entire article before posting a response to it." If Groups A, B, and C do not possess that trait (and judging by HN, they may not) then the benefit of group D even becoming a supermajority by harping on A, B, and C far outweighs any contradiction in their counter-culture identity.

On the other hand, if the reason for group D existing is to simply reject any position held by a majority of citizens, growth of group D could be detrimental to democracy.

In the first case, group D harped its way to a better society.

In the latter case, group D harped its way to a worse society.

In conclusion, your truisms don't say anything meaningful about the potential creation of another social signal.

The higher ups need some basic economics education, it appears. Certainly you shouldn't invest everything in long term returns, but you should be open to it.

Instead, when something has a payoff of 3 years, executives get antsy in orgs that have a 2-year cycle on exec positions.

Not explicitly; I agree. I meant that while it is a myth, it is a myth perpetuated by elected officials in the US and what they say when they hold power and especially the campaign promises they make to win power.
> SELECT * from table1
> FK JOIN table2

What if table1 has been joined in twice, to what table alias is table2 joined against?

Example:

SELECT * FROM table1 a
CROSS JOIN table1 b
FK JOIN table2

Would table2 be joined against "b" or "a"?
I would guess "b" and guess the idea is to always let FK JOIN join against the previous join?
