I've found a good way to enforce schemas is do all testing against a Prism proxy. The proxy takes the OpenApi spec and basically maps the request going in/out into the model defined by the OpenApi spec. This means that if your request doesn't match the spec the test fails with a helpful error message.

Similarly, because the OpenApi spec gives examples, frontend devs can use the proxy to mock requests and responses with literally 0 code written. This parallelizes development really well because you know everyone is building to the same spec.

Running a bunch of debugs locally with the proxy does slow things up, but it's a trivial add to a containerized workflow.

Highly recommended! Parallelized development, prevents breaking changes, and provides a canonical API model that's always up to date and enforced!

I heard it at CES. Interesting concept but the audio quality it really quite terrible. I don't think consumers will find it acceptable, not even close.
To me, it does seem really weird that they opted to downclock the entire CPU rather than increase the latency of the instructions that caused overheating. That feels like it would have been a much less disruptive solution that would work strictly better.
> I don't know if they were sincere

Just because someone's wrong, doesn't mean they're evil. The USSR had literally just liberalized after similar policies. You telling me that wouldn't have been compelling evidence 30 years ago?
True, but looking at the map the most populated sections of the United States are marked as danger zones. Though I realize after writing that line that the last few years have taught us that mass casualty events in Florida won't exactly cause dramatic societal change.

I know a brilliant guy who's great at negotiations and brings results. He makes about the top 0.5% in salary in the country. He also gets fired frequently for bullshit reasons (like slow response to emails) despite bringing the company lots of good money and top clients.

It seems unfair to him, but the expectations of a superstar are a lot higher.

You can negotiate a superstar ex-FAANG salary, but you have to justify why you're costing them 6 months of runway. If you're at a FAANG, you can increase click rates on ads by 0.1% a quarter and that would already justify your salary.

At a FAANG, their question is how low they can pay you and where you compare to the rest of the applicant pool. For a startup, they have maybe 5 applicants. They want someone who can keep them alive long enough to the next round of funding, up until acquisition. Sometimes that means some solid first team players. Sometimes it's a star. Sometimes it's just some interns.

Having never had a manager with any clue about maths, I found the golf analogy works better:

"Why can't you hit a hole in one with every golf shot? You know exactly where the hole is, you know how much the ball weighs, you know the length of the club, you know how hard you need to hit it and in what direction. So why isn't every golf shot a hole in one? Because, obviously, you may have miscalculated how hard and at what angle you should hit the ball, you may not have the skill to hit the ball exactly right, and any amount of random factors can affect the ball between you hitting it and it arriving at the green. Same for software development"
Ahh ok so then it was my mistake. :)

Keep up the good work!

without having to hunt down someone in HR

When I worked for UPS they specifically told me there was absolutely no way that HR would verify salary/employment over the phone for mortgage applications and the only way to do it was via theworknumber.com. UPS has ~500,000 employees so you can understand why they'd want to offload this work to a third party. I was working with a smaller mortgage company so they grumbled about having to do it this non-traditional way but it all worked out in the end.
I'm an American expat who's been living in Germany for the better part of a decade. I've often confronted an unfairly pessimistic, doom and gloom attitude from German people regarding the US, and I've always pushed back on this, as I did not feel it represented the reality that the US was as prosperous, mostly well functioning country with a few loud eccentricities which are not always understood from the outside.

However my perception was shook a bit in my most recent trip back to the states over this past holidays. Cream cheese was unavailable as an ingredient for the Christmas meal due to supply chain issues. People complained about inflation and high gas prices. Flights were totally unreliable, and COVID tests were almost impossible to come by.

On top of all those real-world issues, it was surprising to see how compliance has become a political issue in the US. My liberal family members treated mask wearing as an issue of character, and seemed to treat catching covid as almost a moral failing, while my conservative family members viewed it almost as a scam.

I have seen the politicization of every issue before. I've been aware that the US government has been in a state for a long time where it seems to be structurally unable of getting things done. But this is the first time I have seen material conditions degraded to such an extent in my home country that it is impacting the day to day lives of even middle class and upper middle class people. This was especially surprising since the same issues have not presented themselves in Germany.

I hope what I witnessed was just the short-term effect of an unprecedented wave of the virus, but it was enough to give me doubts.
Open Banking could be set for its best year yet in 2022
Very far from it. I get what you're saying but it's not even close IMO.
Yes, like taking a vaccine. And also social distancing and avoiding others so that the peak of cases doesn't coincide with an overflow of Medical facilities resulting in your inability to get proper medical attention if needed.
That must have changed - in the novels he was a former Marine who had made a bit of money in finance and then gone into academia.
> For some reason he updated the README of this repo to include links to some conspiracy threads on Reddit.

For more clarity here, he didn't just update the README. He deleted the repo and replaced it with one that only has the modified readme and no content, and pushed an empty package to npm as the latest version (npm has removed the latter).
I've definitely had some fun in class with websites that do too much client side logic. ;)

> I think you are talking about the reactionaries' use of the word

That's a fair point, yeah.

> When you take that red pill, when you are open to the facts, it is shocking what has been happening right under our noses

I think the problem there for me personally is, that "being red-pilled" was kinda adopted by the right wing, so I would never label myself red-pilled when I learn what kinds of things black people experience because of being who they are. But yeah, if we keep current politics out of our context, then I get what is meant with being red-pilled.

So essentially, red-pilled means "I learned(or at least think so) something which the mainstream(god I hate that word in the political context) does not know."

Furthermore, if what you think you've learned is objectively true, then you were red-pilled, if it's objectively wrong you just invented a new conspiracy theory.
It's also very discouraging (and unfair) for new comers not to get credit for that work.
There are supplements that eliminate almost all of the negative side-effects of stims.

- L-Tyrosine to keep your dopamine levels up.

- ALCAR + ALA to reduce neurotoxicity and tolerance formation

- Magnesium and Zinc for muscle tension, including jaw clenching if you're prone to that.

And for Aderall, you can take Vitamin C at any point to rapidly flush it out of your system.

These things are a game-changer for quality of life and sustainability of stimulant medication. For example, with the ALA+ALCAR stack, I don't get any withdrawals when I take breaks. No fatigue, malaise, nothing. I would have given up on adderall a long time ago without these things.
So you will be indebted to your customers until their time is up.

I don't think there's any practical limit (I could probably paste in the entire text of the Bible and see what it generates next), but for the most part you want to use it as a writing companion, not an auto-writer. The general strategy is to have it generate some text (a few sentences), and then generally edit or retry it. The fun part is seeing the novel (ha) ideas that the AI comes up with and then working from there. There are some people who actually do try to use the AI to write the whole thing with not editing, with limited success (usually it involves a very meticulous and nebulous combination of tricks and techniques, and a lot of retrying).

As far as the context limit (how many lines back it can actually use), I believe it's 2048 tokens for novelAI, which is about 3 times higher than AI Dungeon uses, but likely not enough for the AI to have all of the story in memory. For important details or characters that aren't repeated except at the start, you may need to do some priming techniques with memory, author's note, or world info.

Though with 2500 words one advantage is that you have a very large amount of text in your writing style for the AI to try to mimic. One disadvantage of NovelAI over AI Dungeon is that AI dungeon seems a lot better at working off a small, limited prompt with very little context, while NovelAI prefer much longer prompts with plenty of descriptive detail. Having a large prompt that is entirely your own words definitely helps.
eh, you can buy a great hardtails for 800-1.2k, even less if buying second hand. the main thing to point out is that at $700 including all the electronic add ons the components will be worse and trail rideability/durability will suffer significantly compared to even a low end mtb at the same price range. I've let friends use my nice bike while I ride my crap "general purpose" bike and it works on easier trails... (probably) safe enough on those trails, but still wouldn't recommend it.
Did something change recently or did someone just notice this? Verification of employment/income is standard practice in many finance-related fields, and is required to get a mortgage in the US, for example. My company integrates with TheWorkNumber to provide that feature through our app. I can see why people are sketched out by not knowing this was happening, but as someone else said your pay rate is not _really_ private info. I care less about this than I do the credit agencies that have a full record of all of your credit activity, despite definitely not wanting them to have that info.

Yeah does Reddit create value? Ignoring their advertising. They also consume energy.

The energy comment is so naive. Move to renewable nuclear and who cares. Most people that complain can't even calc the marginal increase in net energy usage for their country.

I still prefer this "raw" HTML style and use it to provide information about my own courses instead of the stupid and dysfunctional "learning management system" (Blackboard) that our university wants us to use.

It's much faster to add information to the handwritten web page than to use the Javascript GUI mess and this also makes it much easier for students to discover information.

Good point. Trade and financial relationships are another obstacle.
Yes I recently started programming with Dart and I find it incredible how little buzz there is around it. I’m using it for writing small scripts right now and it’s been so refreshing to not run into one road block.

The installation process is simple, documentation is excellent, the core library makes sense, the defacto package repository and package management is clean. And WRT this thread, the async model is dead simple to pick up.

As a scripting language it seems to be a perfect fit. But there is also a lot of first rate tooling available for Dart and I am starting to wonder if it wouldn’t be a good choice for larger projects as well.

I think it's obvious that the policies you highlight as being 'enlightened' are not universally popular, and also create instability.

Off shoring and massive immigration are never popular with the working and lower classes, these are popular with the higher classes who desire cheap labor for their rent seeking operations. This behavior is neither liberal nor democratic and is rarely the product of a broad base democratic effort; its not as though the immigration politics of the modern west emerged after popular outcry- they are entirely top down efforts. In this regard we can say that they might be enlightened from a certain perspective but are they really democratic?
UNIX never had anything like AmigaDOS and the way it was extensible via dyanmic libraries for file formats, or the volume mounts as done on AmigaOS.

All the UNIX ports, including the follow up AMIX, were a shadow of the multimedia capabilities of AmigaOS.

Irix, NeXTSTEP and Sun NeWS are the only UNIX based experiences, that had remarkable hardware.

All of them managed it, by being more than mere UNIX clones.
yeah its windows 95 simulator :)
> They probably have enough money from Google anyway, why would they need any other?

If I was in charge of Mozilla's finances (which I'm not), I would be perpetually anxious about Google yanking their money as soon as its lawyers are sufficiently convinced that another browser vendor's marketshare sufficiently deflates any accusations of monopoly.

Equating anti-CCP sentiment with anti Asian propaganda is gaslighting.

> Syncthing has reminded me how great computers can be if they are not made by corporations.

This is a silly conclusion.

The actual problem he has zeroed in on js when marketers are the primary influencers in product design. Every company I’ve worked for while leading UX and who had a marketing/MBA are product manager had made me do useless things like add the “share this on Facebook and Twitter” links that no one has ever click on.

I’ve also worked at companies that are run and put engineers first and the experience was products the total opposite of what the OP experienced.

Believe it or not corporations can be run by tech people. They are just organizations. They are what you you make of them. The only difference is OSS products tend to be run and designed by tech guys, not marketing people.

The other major problem is marketers in tech companies mostly suck at their jobs. I’m

The example from the article explicitly mentions that there are some (unspecified) differences in motivation other than the price that are often overlooked by non-autistic people in such cases, so these arguments can not be ignored without misinterpreting the article's example.
If I remember correctly, Massachusetts has a law that says that potential employers are not permitted to ask candidates what their previous salary was. The intent of this law is to ensure that people who have been discriminated against in the past will not continue to be discriminated against by new employers who "copy" the treatment of previous employers.

(a) Can anyone confirm that I'm remembering this correctly?

(b) Is this behavior by Equifax not a violation of the Massachusetts law (at least as far as it concerns citizens of Massachusetts, and in the spirit if not in the letter of the law)?

I never called anyone evil, but if you think we liberalized the USSR by making them a major trading partner and moving our industrial base to the communist block... well, all I can say is I don't believe that's what happened, but you can if you'd like to.

I'm not even sure it's fair to say the fall of the USSR was entirely due to external influence, I do think the pressure the west put was a factor but I think internal events like chernoybyl and the quirks of the leadership sucession in the 80s had as much to do with it.

Just to clarify, because this has always been an issue with misunderstanding, but torrenting and BitTorrent isn't illegal or unlawful, much like how ships aren't. It's how you use it and what you transport over it. I could very easily use HN to send you (and other random strangers) something illegal. BitTorrent in and of itself is simply a protocol.

You have a very short view on things. Eventually, it all ends. Humanity is doomed. The very universe itself has been in a state of decay and entropy since the Big Bang. Over the long term, humanity has a 0% chance of survival. We're just whistling past the graveyard.

In all fairness, I don’t think “crypto” should be banned as such. Partly because it’s a loose and descriptive term, unlike asbestos, which is well defined and tangible. So a blanket ban wouldn’t work.

And also because it’s not necessary; existing regulation will get us most of the way:

- if you are, in effect, selling a security, let this be regulated this like any other security

- if you are, in effect, running a bank, etc.

- if your coin X acts like an intermediary for transferring money to hostile jurisdiction Y, then regulate transfers to X like transfers to Y. Forbid these if necessary.

- if your manufacturing process is needlessly wasteful then forbid this manufacturing process (globally) under threat of forbidding your product

Etc
This is an example of the logical fallacy petitio principii (begging the question).
