The maximum effect a comment on here can have is making a statement that changes someone's mind. Overly emotional, shallow, or terse responses aren't going to have that effect.

I get your point, but disregard for decorum here isn't going to solve any of those problems. At best it's shouting into a void, at worst your fooling yourself into thinking you're part of the solution while fixing nothing.
I appreciate this movement even though I personally enjoy the kind of work I do and can't really see myself ever stopping.
Let's be honest though, most people have it pretty rough… I like that people are coming together and at least venting about their situation.
We really need to think what we are doing as a society if even in the richest of countries people are miserable with their jobs and life. Life should be simpler and more pleasant for everyone.
If you think Facebook is supposed to have rights, then are you also okay with the Citizens United decision? The answer to whether companies should have the same rights as people should just be "yes" or "no", not "well, yes when it benefits me but no when it doesn't".
based on the dates that retailers put out all the christmas stuff immediately after halloween, it's apparent that christmas has already gone retrograde by date far into november already...

there's stores around here with their whole aisle of valentines day candy, gifts, red heart balloons etc already stocked.
A Jewish couple that I'm friends with takes a pragmatic approach to this: they celebrate Hanukkah and Christmas!
For a short time I was "working two jobs" as part of a transition (everyone was aware) and I found it almost impossible to even manage one or two meetings a week at each job - conflicts were crazy.

What are you supposed to do when you have a conflict, if you're keeping things secret? "that time doesn't work for me" "uh, why? I just hired you. You have another meeting?"
We're getting decent in home internet-of-things automation standards in the form of Matter (fingers crossed it's good enough)... what about out of home standards? I want to think of what a bring your own fob system would look like.

But there's so many layers. How is the car presentable? Can i being my own sim? What if i want to upgrade to 6g? 7g? Can i upgrade the modem?

Then the fob... kind of an interesting counter challenge. Anything with an internet connection, that can control the iot device? Does it work across public internet? Does it need to join a personal vpn? Does the car have it's own vpn it signs into? Can the fob be controlled? Maybe i want to geolocate the fob, or make it beep. Who iot controls the iot controller?

Imo i still really really though Webinos project had their heads best screwed on to handle all of this. It was a neat vpn ish system. I really want to get out of the days of all products being totalized experiences, that the product has tonhave all possible control options built in that you'd want. I want tech to be a start, to offer options. We've really walked back the great intertwingularizing, de-api'ed the world, after a very promising exciting ~2010 that failed to deliver every prpduct has gone on it's own. It sucks for this world, is evolutionarily so limited; we shouldnt make each piece of hardware have to produce each and any kind of software anyone might need for it, & we should not limit users to having to suffer what limited offerings the maker can muster.

> It can simultaneously be true that Facebook is guilty of censorship, and they are in the legal / moral right by doing so.

They might be in the legal right, sure. But you're never in the moral right if you're guilty of censorship.
the fediverse is in no way related to this web3/blockchain bullshit. It's actually more related to the original idea of web 3.0 as semantic web due to the usage of similar protocols e.g. json-ld.
This is kind of an absurd counter. Not everyone can just choose to become a high level engineer at the handful of the most selective companies in the world.
That's true, it's just a nuisance to set UI scale on them. 1.5x works, but feels like 1440p and everything isn't that much sharper. 1x is like using FHD on a small laptop where you need to squint for everything, and 2x is just two big.
disagree with the overcommunication. overcommunication means your boss has too much sense of where you are or where you are claiming to be. and more work will be tossed over to you. always accept new work and just drop 50% of it without further reporting on it.

otherwise, yeah I always set low expectations. On day 1, I show up late to orientation. always. It's worked great for me over a long career. (single jobs, not dual, although in school I always maintained 3-4 concurrent part time gigs)

website worked for me but the menu part didn't load correctly. it looks quite poor. too bad it's not intentional.

there's only 1 time of year when you perform. the 2 months before perf eval.
Sry Moxie, you lost my trust when you temporarily took the signal codebase closed source to integrate some cryptocurrency scams into it. Now your criticism just sounds like whining about a more successful competitor. Why is Telegram winning against Signal ? Mainly because the app is more stable and doesn't dictate its philosophy to the user. Proper e2e encryption has tradeoffs. Why shouldn't the user decide for which conversations he is willing to place convenience over security ? Why does Signal force users to use a pin even if they don't want to ? Why do you lose your history when you switch between android and ios ? why would I choose a messenger that requires a phone number over another that does not ? I was an enthusiastic evangelist for signal. But over the years you just lost me. I still use it but I don't recommend it anymore. I know, I'm not the only one. Apparently you seem to think, you can make up for it with paid advertising that you plastered my city with (repeatedly). I would have preferred to see that budget allotted to developing a more stable client and new features, but I'm not calling the shots.
"Even for us, though, we can often increase our impact a lot by improving our generalized effectiveness."

This rings of Scott Adams' 'Talent Stack'. He posits that having expertise in multiple, unrelated fields both expands your generalized knowledge and helps you stand out in the combination of talents you possess. One example of a real person is one who holds expertise in artistry (oil painting), mechanical engineering, and cycling.

If I were to claim my own, it would be program management, poker and music.
Hi HN!

Author/OP here. Wrote this small but mighty package to make it easy to create, run, and share Jupyter notebooks with reproducible environments. Was definitely inspired by Julia's Project.toml/Manifest.toml package management.

Ended up building it to support my startup Pathbird which lets instructors build engaging, interactive courses using computational lessons. A big value proposition there is that every student gets exactly the same environment (no dependency version issues!) so we want to make sure that the environment running on Pathbird exactly matches the environment on the instructor's computer.
This is the one extension I was really bummed to lose on Firefox for Android with the update last year where they started limiting installable extensions to a hand-selected group.
Campaigning that Facebook should not be allowed to remove porn or spam is a non-starter. And at most s230 is going to apply to the US, not to Canada.

> platform picks and chooses what goes on its platform

That means everything, not just the corner cases.
I'm quite familiar with the CommonMark syntax that I use it without really thinking, so I write down my plaintext notes that way, and if I need to "beautify" it before sending it to someone then most of the legwork is already done.
This is a litmus test. If your mentality is that you are paid for your time, not for your value, then I guess you will always carry guilt about working multiple jobs.

If however you feel zero guilt, it is because you have internalized your true self worth. It shows you understand the value you bring to a company and the value of a company having a fully onboarded developer hot and ready to go whenever a crisis happens. You are not merely an ass sitting in a chair.

Once you learn that your value as a developer has no relation to time and space, you can truly ascend to the next level of social class.
I used to use Redirector ... until my need changes and needed fine-grain control over what to redirect. And then I saw Request Control.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/requestcontro...

Why I replaced Redirector with Request Control is because of its much more powerful features such as match by different document types (script, image, media, etc), its in-built variable (such as {protocol}, {hostname}, {pathname}) and origin type (same origin, same domain, third party domain, etc).

However, if your need is simple, my advice is to use Redirector instead because it is really easy to understand and use. For power users, check out Request Control.
Not sure its called shutting down if you keep it online for 40 years, then decide not to shut it down after all ^^
Might be easier if we repeal their section 230 protections and then put the top FB/Meta brass in jail for fraud. It would never happen but imposing this kind of accountability will definitely make the power drunk tech elites think twice.
Where are these mythical promos with 2x salary? I have never met someone who got one. Heck, where are the companies that even keep up with market rate for devs? Every company has short tenures now.
Also not working here on FF/Linux. Tried Chrome and it's pretty nice. One odd thing I noticed: if I click on an image and then click left or right to go forward or back, after mouse down but before mouse up, the picture index shows "35/35" (it shows the correct position once I release the mouse button).
Encouraging people to take two full-time jobs by lying and cheating their way around is such a terrible advice even if you only look at it purely based on self-interests with no moral considerations.

Negotiate well when starting a new job (If you haven't find a new job and negotiate well). Do great work. Use the extra time to invest on yourself: read, exercise, learn new skills, etc. You'll be happier and more successful in the long run.
Nobody serious expected a magic wand from Trump. We wished he was capable of listening to experts and competently implementing testing, ppe procurement, giving good advice, etc.
I think GP is using 'profit' to talk about wealth extraction from the business. Putting surplus cash into an emergency fund, maintaining a cash balance for unforeseen costs, or similar wouldn't be quite the same thing. One way to think about that is that if your company has a financial goal of $X for a cash reserve, the lack of it can be considered a liability, diminishing net profit.
I wish I could just be a corporate cog for a few days a week and then do my own thing. Unfortunately, at least judging from the interviews I've had the last few months, HR/hiring is still looking at things from a full-time headcount perspective. Somebody complained about having to do paperwork for each employee, which I can't wrap my head around because it's their job to do employee paperwork. But it seems to still be about extracting 40 hours and then overtime from any vaguely professional position. One manager told me that they are limited in headcount for their department.
> no chargebacks just means the customer now has no recourse from a fraudulent vendor.

This is the realm of the social layer, not the technology. You can add an escrow system or even use a reputation-based approach as a way to manage fraud, but the idea is that it is optional. If all you want is to buy some cheap and fast content online, you can't do that with credit card but you can with crypto.

> It's also possible to get no fees for micropayments

Please point me to one micropayment solution that does not involve middlemen and/or extraordinarily high fees (in proportion to the value of the transaction).

> and no currency conversion fees with a more traditional virtual currency, crypto only adds costs on top of that.

Problem statement: you are a software company in the UK and you want to contract a developer based in Argentina. She wants to receive (in Pesos) the equivalent to 500GBP.

Find me some non-crypto alternative where she can get that amount with minimal loss. We can compare notes later if you want, but I can tell you a crypto alternative where the cost is less than 0.3%.
> because multiplication has a higher precedence than division

Wow. That's actually quite bad.
Water is almost never bad for you, except in very large amounts.

You absolutely need to drink more water/tea than usual while fasting and this is pretty much recommended at least by most professionals is the survival sector (probably by more, but in this case I know for sure). Especially if you need to get things done; while having no food drinking is even more important.
> Real example: One person I know has 2 $150k jobs for a total of $300k. If they joined as a jr engineer at a FANGMULA or equivalent, they would be making $300k, not be fucking stressed about the duplicity that is working 2 jobs, learn more because it's a better company and get promoed to sr engineer within a year or two and make $400-500k instead. If they have ambition, they can cross the leadership rubicon (either through becoming a staff engineer or manager) and make even more, reaching up to $700k-$1M eventually.

Sometimes I wonder if the people saying this stuff really even work there. It's not impossible, but the kind of person who would be promoted that fast wouldn't be working two crappy jobs to begin with.

Not to mention even if you were promoted you wouldn't go from $300K to $500K. You think getting promoted at FAANG gives you an over 50% increase in total comp as the norm? (edit: If you've seen this, it's almost due to the fact that FAANG stock increased drastically during COVID. If you look at 2012-2017 data for promotions a 50% increase is almost unheard of).

You should join one if you're not already there and read about how people are complaining about less than 6.7% (last inflation report) raises during company meetings and less than 10% even when promoted.

Finally, background checks work on what you give them, they're not exhaustive (unless you're trying to work for the government). So many inaccuracies in this post I wonder if it's satire. If so, I apologize.

At least in the West, disease has always been viewed as punishment for vice. Either punishing the sinful and poor (bubonic plague) all the way to punishing for drugs and sex (HIV). Hell the schoolyard rumor when I was a kid was that HIV originated via beastiality (Apple refuses to recognize that word so spelling may be wrong)

Today we find the term “gay plague” abhorrent and I wonder if in 30 years we will be equally as shocked and embarrassed of Herman Cain awards etc etc
If you’re a developer, your employer is using git checkins as the primary measure of whether you are working.

You’ll need a script to automate credible git activity.
GC will cost 50-100 instructions per object reclaimed AND 5-10 per object not reclaimed.

Even if we ignore the latter, gc will can add 2x for objects that you don't do much with.

And then there's the cache effects. Close to top-of-stack is pretty much guaranteed to be in L1 and might even be in registers. Heap allocated stuff is wherever. Yes, usually L2/L3 but that's at >2x the latency for the first access.

In case mmaunder comes back to reply soon, what I'm getting at that the other replies don't seem to address is what metaphor do you use for where you came from? The reason is because the idea of immigrating to Jurassic Park seems crazy to me unless you're in a much crazier spot already. To me Jurassic Park is something you might want to visit if you really like dinosaurs and get a thrill from danger, but not live in. Technically I do live "in the park" but while I don't see it as such I have occasionally thought about going elsewhere, so it'd be nice to have another data point in places to avoid/why. Is it simply that there's no other place with dinosaurs? (Perhaps dinosaurs being a metaphor for entrepreneur opportunities as replies are hinting at? Though I don't think you're getting at that since you ride them all off as monsters with one of the iconic dinos being "debt" rather than an opportunity.)
> They think that promos (like this article), are at most only %10, while promos are more like a x1.5 to x2 of your income.

This is not true in most of the world I believe.
This could be partially wage push inflation because of the covid free checks in addition to an aggregate supply shock (due to supply chain breakdowns):

I’ve more than doubled my salary every 4 years in Silicon Valley. I’m 11 years in and 16x my starting salary my first year out of college. Yes this includes equity comp, but this is not dominated by appreciation. My current employer stock performance hasn’t been great or even mediocre. But my career growth has ensured that doesn’t matter.
The key part is you can't get too high. You just need a little bit, along with some good coffee. Unless if you're a heavy smoker and then you probably already know what you're doing.

I don't think this works for everyone but THC can help me focus in small amounts. The coffee (caffeine) is just there to keep you energized and going. I will also drink lots of water along with it. For me, caffeine actually makes me less focuses and more prone to anxiety, so it's for more of an energy kick.

Further down the this thread, there's mention of making you "dumber." Yes, that can happen if you take too much. I have messed up trying this method before on a weekend and wasn't able to figure out my own code so I just relaxed for a bit and came back later.

I like to say it's akin to some sort of alchemy. Need to find the right mixture for you and environment to work in.
"After adjusting for cancer stage, the mortality improvement in expansion states from the periods before and after expansion was no longer evident (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.98-1.02; P = .94), nor was the difference between expansion vs nonexpansion states (DID HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.98-1.02; P = .84)."
Nobody is making $300k as a junior engineer. And certainly not getting promoted to senior engineer within a year on top of that. Stop talking out of your ass.
I can only control small parts of the tech side of a company. It’s silly to worry about things outside of your control so I definitely don’t “buy into the company vision”. I just deliver good software and hope everyone else knows what they’re doing so I don’t need to find a new job.
I haven't ever worked for a company with hard deadlines. Always enterprise software, so delays are of seemingly no consequence.

> and this will show up in future background checks.

I’m not interested in working two jobs, but can you provide some sort of reference around this?

My last two background checks included no employment info and I was fairly certain private sector jobs have no reporting outside the IRS, hence ridiculous interviews.

Ah, uMatrix saved me from that... Reader mode seems to work well on Firefox to stop the redirection as well.
Word of caution: don't over develop this habit as it will stay with you for the rest of your life and in all areas of your life. You think you're being clever and getting away with 2x more money, but in the end you're hurting yourself the most. If you pretend you are working, if you're not moving as fast as you can, you won't be sharpening your skills. You're in fact most likely not only sharpening your skills, but making them more dull. It's when we challenge ourselves that we grow.
Not entirely. Yes today most overdoses involve fentanyl but that’s a recent development. People were overdosing on pure heroin as well.
The value of Okta is in its centralization - the reputability of the brand and the existence of a conscious entity equipped with the power of reason that can use their centralized superpowers to resolve unexpected issues as they come up. And if there’s anything I know about software, it’s that unexpected issues always come up.

Remove that and you have all the existing scams of crypto, except now your personal information and account access is at stake in addition to your money.

As for bets, I’ll happily wager my expected future net worth against these projects by simply not investing in them. If you feel differently, do differently. I don’t care.

Coding practices are hard and team specific. 60 people company is small enough where things change fast so if you make "coding practices" too tight and restrictive then some people will be unhappy and unproductive. Good start:

- have linter to check for basic mistakes and perform code formatting

- do some testing (integration tests are good because most problems happen between modules and not within modules). Code coverage is a divisive topic but I personally find it useful to understand what parts of software are not well tested.

- Build/deployment dashboards for everyone to see. If you break the build your name is shown as a shame factor etc. Many years ago when I was young and dumb and at a startup, you had to take a shot and run a mile if you break the build. Worked wonders to keep things stable.

- establish some code review culture. As company grows you'll probably eventually need to pass some compliance requirements. Those usually require you to code review anything that goes to production. So you can't go wrong with: each merge to master needs to be reviewed by someone. It's a bit annoying for a small company but will pay off in the future. If you don't want to go that far then at least identify critical files in the code and require any changes to them to be reviewed.

What separates good lead/manager from bad one is caring. By posting this question you already show that you care, which means you are on the path to becoming good lead/manager :)
Can I ask, was this sacrifice necessary? Were you earning decent wages or was he actually struggling to make ends meet? It is far more selfish to pursue more money than you (or your kids) need and miss out on your children's formative years than to just hold a single decent paying job.

I think the problem lies in the vague definition of "obscene" material. Nobody would have a problem blocking gratuitous nudity/violence from making it on their platform. But that's a very wide distinction from political/religious messaging.
