> Without protection from copiers, there is no incentive for anyone to create a new mechanism or invention.

Totally untrue and this is one of the weird myths people have been taught, despite obvious evidence to the contrary. Very likely this website is running on Linux, an OS created in part by corporate contributors but also in a huge way created by people who work while explicitly enabling free copies of their work. And of course with my 3D printer example, thousands of hackers from all over the world contributed to design improvements because they wanted to, sharing their work for free as open source. And then there's Bunnie Huang's wonderful story on the ground from a highly productive space with rampant copying:

If you believe "there is no incentive" then none of the above would be true, but since it is true I would invite you to think critically about your starting assumptions.
Oh, there’s no way any HR department would approve including the word “culture” in the interview feedback boilerplate! Not as bad as literally referencing a protected class, but still too many ways it could backfire
> You have no obligation to be honest in an exit interview

Also, you have no obligation to give former employers free insights and advice that they'd otherwise have to pay consultants thousands of dollars to figure out for them. That's what your feedback in an exit interview can be: free insights they'd otherwise have to pay for. There's no reason to give it to them for free.
China and free market mumbling to avoid a simple accountability comparison? Come on. Your just flailing about to keep some neat image of Capitalism intact at this point.

The only thing this had to do with is what incentive structure each set up and what the expected outcomes of those are.

Leninism:

Concentrate the power into professional revolutionaries, a vanguard, to lead the people into making the "correct" choices.

Incentive: Keep this new and unprecedented amount of power indefinitely.

Outcome: Corruption of whatever ideals they might have had.

Capitalism:

Concentrate the wealth and thus power into businessmen/corporations with the purpose of keep accumulating wealth indefinitely.

Incentive: Use the power and influence of wealth to do just that, accumulate more wealth.

Outcome: Manipulation of rules, regulations, and the market.

This is what they are. This is what we've seen for more than a 100 years for both. This is what they are accountable for.
In the job market, it’s mostly a matter of labor supply. If you really need people, and they demand $[x], you pay it or you don’t get an employee.
I disagree with my manager (and other managers in the org) all the time. It's fine, we talk about the tradeoffs involved and figure out the best path forward.

Every time I hear people worried about disagreeing with management, it's because management are assholes. The managers I work with are good people. They're not perfect, but I do (mostly) trust their competency.

I'm also senior enough people can't push me around.
Oh that’s a known problem. There are many kernel patches floating around that fix it by triggering the OOM killer when the system is thrashing. Here’s one based on ChromeOS’s solution: https://github.com/hakavlad/le9-patch

I’ve never had this specific problem back when I was daily driving desktop Linux, but I did run into 1000 other ones that needed bandaid solutions just like this. It’s death of a thousand cuts: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28490753

I see that nothing’s changed in the last couple of years.
> And yet train crashes and derailments are something that happens fairly regularly

In the UK in any given year it's fairly common for the only fatal passenger train crashes to be collisions with motor vehicles on level crossings.
I've been blindsided like this before too. I didn't have a single 1-1 with my manager for 6 months, and then some negative feedback at the review meeting.

It hurt at the time but later on I discovered some other people were f*cked over too.
For weakfish it might be - maybe he's never thought about what this does and when he sees it, his eyes gloss over it as unreadable cleverness.
2022 - 2011 = 11, not 21.
Time periods kinda messes up these analyses because statistics is hard for a lot of people.

"Second, while risk over time is important, people are primarily concerned about the risk of getting infected with SARS- CoV-2 right now, not, for example, over the last 3 months."

The authors just kinda brush this aside. Their analyses are focused on singular events such as social gatherings, going to work, transportation, etc. Incase I'm not getting my point across, this is REALLY, REALLY STUPID, and I'd be embarrassed to publish this kind of analysis..

They also focus solely on the psychological harm of exclusion of unvaccinated people (very real consequences of serious mental and economic impacts to these people). Not actual harm of adverse reactions to the vaccines (effectively 0 actual harm), but make comparisons to drugs with considerably more side effects.

Not considering cumulative effects of even a single week on transmissibility radically skews their analysis. We don't do this in health and safety when death is on the line for a reason...

To put this another way, their analysis compares statins, a drug used to combat a constant exposure to heart-attack and stroke risk (from cholesterol), to a 1-8 hour singular event of exposure of unvaccinated people who may or may not have CoViD.

No Doctor I know would prescribe statins if you only had risk of heart-attack or stroke for a 1-8 hour event on a single day.
Supporting async isn’t a bad thing. It is annoying when working with async stuff and suddenly a library doesn’t support futures or streams.

But I do agree that it seems that people jump to use async instead of e.g. threads. I think there should be more literature around what situations work best for threads vs async, etc.
I guess the tagline "Cybernetically enhanced web apps" is a joke I didn't get. The first sentence on Svelte.com is "Svelte is a radical new approach to building user interfaces" alrighty then!
Nice. Yes I can see that.
This is just FUD. Storing the cookie consent in a cookie is obviously "strictly necessary" if that's all you do with the cookie. Strictly necessary cookies do not, themselves, require consent.

You're saying that without obtaining consent, you can't store the cookie consent preference which is a ridiculous catch 22 explicitly rejected by the first link you shared (which states that the consent choice must be stored)
On mobile replace the “www” with “i” to get something that actually works on a phone. The new mobile site is such horrible user experience in almost every way.
You mean 11? This freaked me out for a sec.
I have this theory that depression is a result of deadlocked procrastinations.

That explains the JVM, but why Java, specifically? JRuby offers everything you mention.
This is a good obeservation. The stuff I am slacking on now is stuff that I should have politely declined last year, but didn't.
Have a plan before the start of each day, drink lots of water, exercise, eat, get plenty of rest. Maybe take a day or two off meds over the weekend, if it's burning you out. It's tough to get into a groove and don't last long enough but if your force yourself to do these things you can find a rhythm for a time and that's the best I've found.
There wasn't too much salary sharing when I worked in Germany, in fact, it was the usual "keep everyone in the dark" approach from HR.
Just to add another data point, our startup uses Gusto and my salary isn't in the data. My old salary from Google (which I think used ADP) is though.
This only works for the people with the awareness and confidence to know what they’re worth. Even selecting for that small subset of the population, it’s still sometimes difficult to ascertain what the optimal salary is in any given environment. The issue is, the labor supply and its cost is known by the employer, but is largely hidden to the laborer.
Its a tool. You need to be self aware enough to take the meds, and then consciously engage with tasks that you want to get done - this wont be a skill you have developed, as its likely never been possible/effective previously. You can, when medicated, actually consider what you need to get done, and then decide to act on those tasks.

You can also set timers/alarms to timebox tasks, and reign in hyper focus - it should be relatively easy to change tasks with the alarm interruption (vs. unmediated, where I find it practically impossible to move to any new task).
Yeah, 10 years later and all these Flash killers keep not having the tooling offered by it, while the workarounds to deal with security are so bothersome that in the end everyone ends up doing mobile native apps instead.
"Left" is not a synonym for "socialism".

Socialism is a word that can be defined in absolute terms. But left/right is defined relative to society as a whole. Whoever is left of center in political mainstream is the economic left, by definition.
Posting this under a top comment --

This video is pretty interesting about Japanese mushrooms in general, and has an segment on matsutake mushrooms in particular:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZujODgOqCI

(the Japanlology series is pretty entertaining / informative too -- it has lots of episodes and there's always a touching / memorable story at the end of each)
I’m considering the same and pursuing electronic music instrument projects. I’m very curious to learn more about yours and your background, is there a good way to?
If you think that's bad, try figuring out where to report bugs or even find the original source code for several of the tools and libraries we all use every day. Some of them don't seem to have a web site, only a bunch of unofficial mirrors in various states of disrepair. Some have no way to get to the source code history; only the tarballs for the releases are available. Some have no issue tracker, and, if you're extra unlucky, no mailing list. Even worse, some have buggy mailing list or issue tracker setups, where I'm unable to create a new account, the activation email never arrives, I can't figure out the password requirements, the CAPTCHA refuses to accept any of my answers, or submitting the bug just sends you to an empty/error page, having helpfully cleared the form data from your browser so you can't go back to resubmit. Oh, and some projects won't create a new release for simple bug fixes, so you won't get a fixed version through your package manager anytime soon.

It's no wonder we're still finding critical issues in core projects. What's a real wonder is how someone managed to navigate the maze to trigger the process to get a change all the way through release.

You'll notice how I'm not mentioning how to fix any of these problems, and that's intentional. Each project will need significant effort and/or money to get to a reasonable state, but many people who want to help will give up.
Do your best to be successful, and when it’s time, go where you’re appreciated.

Interesting to read about the Norway's system! I would guess that "If you search for anyone, they can see that you did" is pretty fair but can hinder one's curiosity for searching the information.

Also interesting that public lists for media is no longer distributed. How have media outlets taken this?

Here in Finland Tax office publishes lists of all over 100k earners to media and they are published as public lists online [0]. In addition to that, anyone's income information can be accessed at tax offices or by phone, so this does not leave a trace [1].

After GDPR, one is allowed to prevent one's information to be released to media by objecting to this. However media can still access and release your data via phone or tax office's computer [2] and in 2021 media outlets won a case in Administrative Court where they can also get a list of those who objected [3]. So basically after tax records go public, journalists just take this list and make the calls.

But yeah, as SP mentioned, this is very different approach than in the link of this thread.

When the system runs out of memory the OOM killer is actually invoked right away. The problem is that systems with modern fast storage can run for hours with little to no memory left without really going OOM. If you're interested in this, I've explained how this happens in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28771003
That sounds wrong. TWN having this data is not a condition of my employment.
You shouldn't need to use any of those as a beginner.

Pick a boilerplate framework like create-react-app, Next.js, VueJS, etc which build everything for you so you don't need to manually build the project via writing Webpack or esbuild etc.

Create a product or project that you like from there. You can learn Webpack and other such tools when you need to.

I think you are thinking of form I-9, which is federally required. SS Card is one of may accepted forms of ID, I always use my passport instead.
Ah yeah, that's fair. I could defend that as cost/benefit analysis, but I'm with you - let's push the limits and worry about utility evaluation later! (I literally have a chording keyboard on my desk right now, so I'm quite serious when I say I want to push the limits:])
I don't think it's bad to admit that you are "not a burning furnace of ambition" as Norm Macdonald would say, if you really aren't. Most people just go to work and consume entertainment in their spare time. As long as you're not burdening anyone else, who cares?

I didn't say it was the psychiatric disorder NDP. I meant it in the common usage of the word, not the academic one. And my whole point was that it is indeed surprising because at first glance it seems to be the exact opposite - and this is what can make issues like this so hard to deal with when they pop up.
Not HN comments! Comments here are of very high quality. Even more than the articles linked.

Do you have a repo for suggestions about vaccines?

There is the vaccine TicoVac and TicoVac Junior (both by Pfizer) against tick-borne encephalitis (TBE). I believe it's most commonly given in Europe, but it has been approved by the FDA too.

PrEP is a generic term for a medication that you take before the act, yeah. I was mostly refering to Truvada here which is the one that gets most passed around.
ADHD is not a motivation thing. Generally speaking. You might struggle with motivation and that's okay, but framing it as a ADHD trait might harm others. Be cautious about that.

I was burned out and got into depression because I was going hard on myself for years. Blaming my motivation and asking myself if I even "genuinely want to do the task required to accomplish your[my] goals". Getting my diagnosis was a huge relief. Looking back, I have been motivated beyond everything. I put in at least double the time and effort of everyone else and got not a half out of it than others. Motivation was not the problem and it took me years to realize that. Finally: Actually, I am good enough.

If it looks surprisingly dull, I hope it inspires you to realize you can get similar rates. I’m not particularly special; just determined, and willing to say no to low offers. (The initial offer was salary equal to half this rate plus stock. Being completely uninterested in stock is a tricky thing — you can offend your colleagues unless you’re especially tactful.)

My cv hasn’t been updated since 2016, but it’s also the exact cv I used at this company. That should indicate how much cvs matter relative to forming personal connections with founders.

The technique in this case was to ask an ML engineer on the JAX team what a hypothetical total comp package would be for this type of work at google. They said “making up numbers, but ~$400k.” So I refused any offers lower than that by pointing out that I could make this at Google rather than a high stress startup for half the pay plus stock.

I hope some of that is useful to anyone.

So-called discoverability is certainly one important metric.
Out of curiosity did your skepticism lead you to read the essay and consider his ideas?
Credit, bank checking (ChexSystems), and personal information aggregators like Lexis Nexis and Thomson Reuters Clear ought to be abolished or curbed indeed. I hate to bring trans politics into this. I'm sure that's the last thing anybody wants to hear about right now. However we are a class of people whose sexuality can be unfairly identified by these databases.
I will have to say that I like the direction that the V programming language (vlang) is going. It has blended many good qualities of Oberon/Pascal, C, and Go. I've read a lot of debates among C and Pascal advocates, so good to see newer languages trying to find middle ground.

Debatably, the Go language has put itself somewhere in the middle, as a more modern acceptable compromise and blend with its own twists.

The V language is continuing on the path of where Go went, where readability, maintainability, and simplicity is more evident. Doing so, where it feels like a more natural feature. At the end of the day, many want to be more focused on the problems to be solved, not tripping over the eccentricities and traps of the language.

Clearly, perfection will probably never be achieved. But, I do like where various newer languages are going, as it shows progress. Usability, being easy to learn and teach, as well as being more practical about common programming issues.
It’s not like anything funny could be going on there

The multiple times that Rackspace kept contacting me to interview for “Sr. Unix/Linux Administrator” type jobs, where “senior” meant someone with more than two years of experience? Whereas I have more years of experience in the business than their CTO or their CEO? When you say “senior” is two years, how do you deal with someone who has been in the business for over 30 years?

Where every question they asked me in the phone interview was wrong, and so it wasn’t possible for me to give the “right” answer because it was also wrong?

That slapstick comedy ended when I somehow managed to connect with their Director of HR, and he paid for my lunch while I told him and his assistant everything that was wrong with the approach Rackspace was taking towards hiring. And he agreed with everything I said. A couple months later, and he was gone, too.

At least they haven’t bothered me recently.
I’m afraid you are mistaken. I hope you are not confidently spreading this false information to others as it could put their jobs at risk.

Yerevan is such a cool city, were you visiting family or on vacation? I took a solo trip there a few years ago and keep hoping to return and see a little more of the countryside.
Despite sounding a little delusional, the author puts forth some good points. The evolution of our society depends on new ideas and in people who are willing to develop them. As the author points out, some of these ideas succeed, while some fail. The process works in a Darwinian fashion.

As for me, I envy the inspiration and purpose felt by the author. I had the experience of living in leisure for a while, and while it was good, I certainly felt like the money slaves mentioned in the text. No matter how much I read, how much I talked to other people, no inspiration ever struck me - so I decided to keep working at a normal job.
Dishwasher saves a lot of time. Not many machines in my kitchen can be classified as "robot"

* oven - not intend to save time (except the fan option), easy-medium to clean
* instant pot - saves time, easy to clean
* rice-cooker - saves time, easy to clean
* electric kettle - save time, easy to clean

If you ever lived in condition without those, you wouldn't praise "cutting board and the knife". I don't need quotes from books to know it.
its the natural outcome to your argument. there simply is no way to increase the supply of highly trained specialists within even a year timeframe.

'incentives' won't help. there simply isn't enough supply in aggregate. and they are not leaving because of a lack of pay they're leaving due to the stress of dealing with assholes on the daily. cash isn't going to fix that problem.

the only option left in such a scenario is literally mandating they return to work. which doesn't nothing be return you to initial workforce levels it doesn't increase capacity.

we're seeing this right now with the national guard 'mobilization' in some areas. they're literally doing nothing but sitting with patients and other menial tasks that don't require training. they're basically just in the way.

Websites aren’t blocking VOIP numbers for security reasons, they’re usually blocking them for spam/trust/abuse reasons.

For me at least that immediate sexual attraction has definitely worked out very well and resulted in long-term relationships. It probably helps that sex first, questions later is more socially acceptable where I’ve lived than it seems to be in the US. My wife and I didn’t even get married until our kids were 5 and 3.

The idea of courting where to put it bluntly you are campaigning to get someone to see you as worthwhile is pretty weird.

Which isn’t to say relationships aren’t hard work but that it’s not front-loaded. At least in my experience.
It is compulsory at least for all companies over 50 people. There is a three level risk profile of the work the team does that assigns the respective doctor hours to the team. That is mostly for work related incidents or prevention as per the EU legislation.
