Might be a useful workflow for you to use fixup commits to rebase automatically helps you out
I'm surprised that Lycos still keeps it running.
Skeptics Say, ‘Do Your Own Research.’ It’s Not That Simple
When I heard that quote, it just hit home. I think it is easy to focus on work because society rewards us for achieving (speaking as a US citizen, unsure about other countries). But it isn't the end-all be-all.
Apple Becomes First U.S. Company to Reach $3T Market Value
This is such a weird view of the world, Apple products are the Honda Civics. They're literally mass-market products with 50% market share in the US. They're not some snooty artisanal soda, they're Coke, and you're over here arguing that if you drink anything other than Big K you're doing it for the status.

You are allowed to aim a little higher than rice and beans for dinner without fear of it being called gourmet. It's been a decade since anyone cared what kind of phone you have. My four year old used iPhone with a cracked screen makes me look rich AF I'm sure.
While we have a minimum wage, I'm guessing the non-existance of a maximum average wage is the real cause of rising rents.
There isn't any debt involved in paying rent (are you thinking of mortgage?) and the bank isn't taking any risk, isn't guaranteeing any rent payments. I'm not even sure that a bank strictly needs to be involved in someone paying rent, they could pay in cash for instance. Where are you that a bank guarantees rent payments?
So then don't use it.

I prefer not rebasing / editing unless I have to.
I would tell the truth.

Not sure if that's the best approach since the more I learn about the world the more I see it for the piece of shit that it is. Truth isn't valued and is often punished.
> "It is to endlessly document microaggressions but pay little attention to evictions; to spotlight company’s political platitudes but have little interest in wages or working conditions. It is to allow sweeping societal changes like lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and school closures to roll out — with little debate. To see billionaires amass extraordinary wealth and bureaucrats amass enormous power — with little scrutiny. And to watch the most vulnerable among us die of drug overdoses — with little comment."

Your movement (progressivism) has been co-opted. The same happened to the religious right a generation ago. Grifters told you that winning was the most important thing, and that politicizing identity was how to do it. Now your views have been reduced to platitudes and slogans meant to mobilize sheep and distract from real issues while the powerful plunder (as they always have). I'd say, "learn for next time," but let's be honest, it will be some other movement (likely one that rises out of opposition to this current one) that will be the next one to be co-opted, and you won't be part of it because it will be ostensibly "right wing."
Agreed! It’s not like none of the homeowners or folks in luxury apartments in SF are using recreational drugs, they are just doing it in private because they can.
There is a lot of lithium in the ground so I don’t think we’ll run out, but I do wonder if supply will keep up with demand. A Tesla in every driveway perhaps is OK, but I wonder what happens when power grids and 18 wheelers want to buy batteries too.

Edit: cobalt and nickel are the pricier elements. Going from memory, cobalt is used to stabilize the battery chemistry, allowing it to charge/discharge at higher rates and extending its useful life. Finding a balance between low cost chemistry and high performance batteries is the subject of much penny pinching.
Progress Residential is worse, but yeah, Zillow didn't help.
Google Maps is spammed by fake locksmith or other trades that make it look like they're local but all route to the same boiler room (probably right next to the tech support or IRS scammers) from where they dispatch a crooked & most likely unlicensed tradesman that will do a poor job and overcharge you (destroying the lock so they can sell you an overpriced replacement instead of picking it, etc).

For licensed trades the solution is to go to your official trade licensing body (for the UK it's the NICEIC for electricians and the Gas Safe Register for gas/HVAC technicians), for unlicensed ones it's more difficult. There are "review" sites that claim to provide good results but their business incentives & vulnerability to spam/fake reviews are unknown.

To add a data point: In a U.S. company I'm familiar with, software development managers have been told to hire any future developers from overseas.
Haha I can see that from my experience with local politicians.

It's rough that talent in these large cities generally flows to the megacorps or private companies in general.

I'd personally love to leave my tech job temporarily for city govt if the pay/environment was similar.
Here's the weird part, policies to encourage density to go higher would almost certainly dramatically increase the value of the real estate homeowners already own. I suspect it's the desire to limit change more than really some asset value calculation.
This is trope that reinforces itself here. It gets repeated without evidence quite often.
The real loser is the author of this article.

It's often not such a trivial change. Depending on the profile of your project, it may affect a lot of people and a lot of tooling downstream. That person volunteering to "do the work" isn't really doing all the work.
So I checked and you can’t choose Shortcuts app as a trigger.

But I can understand why. This could be a recipe to break a device.
I usually "patch" my gaps in my resume by adding a period in which "I learned new tech, while doing a contract". The tech learned was React, Tessel.io microcontrollers, etc.

In interviews, that "contract was remote", and you can glide over it explaining "why you took some time off to learn these new techs, and how their were needed to expand your knowledge. Hope this helps :)

By "taking time off", i mean you put aside a full time job to make more room for learning with a contract.
I mean, also, if we know homelessness rises if rent exceeds a third of income, can't we just set laws that say rent cannot legally be more than a third of median income?

When the most luxurious homes drop to that rent price, the standard places will drop even further.

And those landowners that can't afford to maintain it anymore will be forced to sell, increasing supply, and reducing the number of real estate tycoons that squat land without living on it or using it, in turn making ownership cheaper for middle class residents, and reducing the number of people that need to rent. As ownership gets cheaper, property taxes will then crash, which is also good for even cheaper rents.
Upzoning might increase land value but often decreases property value. In general supply and demand still functions, by increasing supply the price should decrease.

What evidence is there that it is due to racism, classism and fear rather than rational self-interest?
If someone asked me about undergrad 5-10 years after I graduated within the context of an interview, I'd probably laugh in their face. What, are you interested in my high school experience too?

And I loved my undergrad (and high school!) experience, and will happily remember it with those I attended with. Asking a new grad? Definitely. But at a certain point it quite frankly becomes none of your business.

As for hobbies, when I'm doing the interviewing, I lean toward "none of my business" either. Totally understandable if you're at the early stages of a startup, I guess, where you're as much a group of friends as colleagues, but from anecdotal experience I'd expect you're hiring from your own network anyways, and already know who you'd like to work with.
It's an interesting hypothesis, I'm not sure how true this is. The newer Ryzen 3 and upcoming Alder Lake products are between M1 and M1 Pro sized, and they all have similar total amounts of cache. Arguably by using both a bit more area and a more advanced process Apple has a much higher transistor budget to work with, but throwing more transistors at the problem doesn't necessarily help power efficiency. The one area where they have a really decisive advantage is their ability to synchronize OS development with hardware roadmap, then force developers to play along (via app store rules).
we fuck people over left and right to a degree that it almost feels like it's for sport

we built this meatgrinder and I forget why and for who
It would work until you got big enough, then you'd end up following the same path as Google, as that's where the money is.
Cool tool!

It's kind of insane to that in 2022 were still dealing with "save early, save often."

Our tools are so antiquated. Storage is cheap and computers are fast, every keystroke should be persisted somewhere I can recover from rather than having to manually save and commit works in progress.

If I had to guess, it's because the Linux desktop is still not good enough for the average user.
Since 2013 we’ve been publishing AgFunderNews as the site of record for investment and entrepreneurship in foodtech and agtech. For whatever reason we were never able to get into Google News but other were who write summary articles on the articles we publish. Similarly, Google will defer to a site like Forbes which has no real authority in our space. It’s really really bad. There is good info out there but increasingly Google is not able to surface it.
> - Enabled downvoting on results, like YT videos. (Has its own spam problems, just like YT)

Not convinced this would help. The spammers would just hire people to dislike competitors

> - Allowed you to block certain domains from your search results

This I would use. Never show me results form collider, watchmojo, ranker,

> - Allowed you to create your own custom search engines, like "Programmable Search Engine".

I think this would lead to people writing highly polarized engines. The Red Pill engine for example and we'd have a new problem, the proliferation of popular highly biased results. Of course that's not to say Google's results aren't already biased but they certainly are trying to cover everyone.
> Lots of people want to be amateur police. And boy would Google find it hard to follow you down that road.

Kinda like they tried with YouTube Heroes?

But then, who’s to say you won’t get the same kind of backlash?
Interesting, and weird. Although that's measured by $, not per chip, per per mm^2 of silicon. I suspect electric cars (being newer designs) tend to use much newer chips, where the traditional ICE manufacturers are often using many generation old processes and paying rock bottom prices. So during shortages the cheap chips don't get made as fabs migrate production to the most profitable/newer chips.

Based on the tear downs I've seen I believe the 2000+ chips in the model S/X, but would be surprised if a model 3/y even had as many as 1000 (the number in a ICE vehicle). The model S/X were crazy complex, CPUs for each door lock, each window motor, each windshield motor, etc.

As a result VW, Ford, GM, Chevy, etc have to halt production lines, while Tesla has a record year.
Search engines are pretty good at solving the problem they were designed to solve, which is "finding pages which contain all the query words". But they are pretty bad at solving the much harder problem of rating the trustworthiness & authenticity, intentions of the owner, monetization of the site, etc.

One possible solution to this could be:

- Let the community vote on the most trusted sources

- Include results from enthusiasts that have little incentive to write biased reviews (Reddit, HN, expert forums)

- Look at the ownership of the site and how transparent they are about it

- Regularly reassess these criteria

This wouldn't scale for a generic search engine, but I'm working on a service that does this for many product verticals/niches.

Emacs's autosave is quite excellent at recovering my work when my computer crashes.

I've written about this before on HN, I had a late model C class Mercedes that decided to emergency brake on the surface of a small bridge sending the car into a spin, the same thing happened in a turn when there was a large sign present.

In both cases the error seems to have been related to the radar picking up a return and interpreting that as an imminent frontal collision when there was absolutely no reason for that. I had the vehicle checked out, they said it was performing to spec so I sold it. No more Mercedes for me.
I wasn't trying to imply anything about you personally being a jerk or otherwise.

Of course they're not assessing you on engineering ability! They're assessing your soft skills, like how you are at talking with people in other departments.

It's kind of like if you go on a date with someone and you're rude to the wait staff, that's a big red flag, right? You're not going to ask the server if you should plan on a second date, but their presence in the interaction gives you information.
Git has a built-in Ctrl-Z that is called “reflog”. Acknowledging that git’s UI commands such as “reflog” may be technical, and nonstandard, and poorly named, does dura provide something that git doesn’t, and is it a good idea to add yet another application/layer/dependency to the git workflow? Would it be just as effective to add a git alias called “undo”, or something like that?

Here in Lithuania we’re still checking cars leaving to Belarus to make sure they ain’t stolen. Random car papers checks on Poland/Lithuania border is still a thing too. Both to make sure Porsche stolen in Berlin last night don’t end up in Moscow 24 hours later.

Unfortunately it’s hard to check every boot for stolen headlights and steering wheels without border control
