> Would love to know what this means.

It is a headstone marking the semantic battlefield where competing definitions killed the possibility of clear communication, and now it means nothing.
There is no evidence the show was designed as an advertisement for the DGSE. This is simply a happy side-effect of it being popular...

I see a big difference with using movies as propaganda to influence the planet's opinions.

At the same time, one has to be blind to not see that any cinema industry has a political agenda, I mean, just watch the average Netflix production and it is striking.
Chomsky is very good! It does not matter if you agree with his political stance or not, the fact based argumentation mixed with political rhetoric is a masterpiece of cerebral political writing, and a very good snapshot of some aspects of modern US history.
In javascript this feels like unintuitive magic, but for something like Elixir it's a model that actually makes a lot of sense to me.
My manager told me that when they interview a candidate, they already know how much they currently earn because companies voluntarily share salary data with each other in my country (in Europe). The recruiters still ask candidates for a salary expectation, but they only use that to know how much of a jump the candidate is expecting, or how much extra they expect to get to actually consider a switch... and because positions are nearly never advertised with a salary range, this makes employers have a huge advantage "negotiating" salaries as they have all the information, the candidate has none (it's tabu to ask other people for their salaries, so I, as most people, am almost completely in the dark regarding whether I am being fairly compensated or not).

The only information about salaries I know of is published by the Unions... which is sub-divided into profession, then ranges of years of experience. But because most software developers are not in Unions here, the data they have seems very skewed towards lower pay rates. It's really a nightmare as it seems that when I am looking for a job, all companies pay the same (which you only find out after several interviews to get an actual offer). IT really pisses me off that such an open country as this has this attitude towards salaries.

I wish every position had a salary range and an indication of how much you would expect to earn a certain experience. That surely would be beneficial to employees, who would know whether they could expect to get a better salary, but also to employers who actually want to find the best people and are willing to pay more, I think, as they wouldn't need to pay large amounts of money to join this "secret club" where they share salaries with each other, basically colluding to keep salaries low.
After testing it for a month I say $10 is a steal for me. $20 I'll probably pay. Above that it depends very much.

Although I hate dumb subscriptions for stuff that should be paid once and for all I have a history of not only saying I would pay for certain thing but also doing it.

And with Kagi, if they keep respecting my queries and have a sane price: it is a no brainer.
As others here have pointed out, the article is much more clickbaity than its contents justify. None of the issues are dealbreakers and some expectations of the author are simply unreasonable. He complains that Django doesn't name generated files with a good human description of the intentions inside his head. I think we'll have to wait for Neuralink for that.
I am a long term C# dev and have my educated guesses in what I am shepherd to ... But I am very curious about your opinion here since I am probably blind to this.

And to keep the discourse focused on the interesting things, let us exclude "into Microsofts hands / into Azure cloud".
Not a review of CentOS Stream 8 (2021)
Your situation sounds just like what I have in mind for Reshape to fix! The backfills performed by Reshape are automatically done in batches to avoid locking.

As you said, Reshape can't call code outside the database as it relies on transactional guarantees for the migrations. Postgres has quite powerful support for procedural languages though so even though Reshape only supports SQL at the moment, there are opportunities to extend that in the future.

Reshape is currently Postgres only and uses a bunch of its features: schemas, updatable views, triggers, procedural functions, transactions and more. I'm sure equivalent things exist in MySQL for Reshape to work with that as well but I'm focusing on Postgres at the moment.
Just wanted you to know that you've made my life a bit better today.

"I'll do it, not be the PM for it" -> a great, more positive rephrasing of what I often tell people for this sort of thing: "please bother me until I get back with you about it."

And the second is a brilliant filter for how much someone truly needs/wants something "small".
So what culture is trying to dominate here, as in which culture puts forth the war movies?

War, Capitalism, ownership and control?
Gonna second this question - my sibling comment was tongue in cheek but belied a genuine curiosity.
>The film also notes that the United States has laws against propagandizing the U.S. public, which might make such a disclosure a confession of a crime. I would add that since 1976, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights has required that “Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law.”

That changed in 2013:

>The U.S. government's mammoth broadcasting arm has begun the "unleashing of thousands of hours per week of government-funded radio and TV programs for domestic U.S. consumption," John Hudson of Foreign Policy reported on Sunday.

>The content arrives with the enactment of the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, sponsored by Rep. Mac Thornberry (R- Texas) and Rep. Adam Smith (D- Wash.), which was inserted into the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

>The reform effectively nullifies the Smith-Mundt Act of 1948, which was amended in 1985 specifically to prohibit U.S. organizations from using information "to influence public opinion in the United States."

>The new law enables U.S. government programming such as Voice of America (VoA) — an outlet created in 1942 to promote a positive understanding of the U.S. abroad — t0 broadcast directly to domestic audiences for the first time.

I think it shares some similarities!

Netvyne has more of a focus on the leaving/reading of comments as you browse.
You might not even need to do that, most async runtimes support some kind of middle ground where you take explicit control over which tasks are scheduled to which threads.
The institutions are stating that exploitation of the status quo to implement X is an opportunity. One that usually comes at the cost of individuals
Indeed, I got promoted to a managerial position, which seemed a nice career opportunity for me, but my productivity and happiness tanked so much that when I had the opportunity two years later to go back to just being an engineer with no one waiting for my input, I just took it. This is how I learned that while I think I can be a decent manager, the skillset of managing people are totally different than being an engineer and it's very hard, at least for me, to context switch effectively between the two. And in that case I'd rather be an engineer.
You are getting downvoted but if you wrote something similar about the Korean war, you would probably be supported.

There is a strange perspective around all the US-led wars; all of them were/are good and justified except some how the Vietnam war ...
Information asymmetry in salary negotiation involves an employer finding out what you earn and using that as leverage over what they will pay you
It's the name of a fairly recent kind of cult, more or less related to the left, and trying to influence a lot of the political/corporate/cultural world.

Raytheon lobbies for Mideast arm sales. In the hierarchy of shit they need to be ethical on, LGBTQ rights is not really top of the list. It’s nice though, nonetheless.

No connection to Hollywood of course, Raytheon would love nothing more than war never being mentioned. The more they can sell outside of the US and not have anyone know it’s causing genocide in places like Yemen, the better.
It's degoogled chromium with crypto propaganda attached, there's plenty of political for profit decisions being made.
I had the opportunity to work with a guy who studied CS back in the day when punch cards were still used. Sadly he left into well deserved retirement a few years later.

He typed slowly, not hunt&peck, but really slow compared to the other engineers.

Didn't matter. The guy was a wizard. Ever seen someone implement radix sort in assembly or debugging a microservice using nothing but nc and echo? Without looking up ANYTHING either in a book or online? That kind of guy.

Working with him, I sometimes felt like Mickey Mouse in that scene of "Fantasia: The Sorcerers Apprentice", when the Master came back, surveying the flood, and fixing everyting in seconds just by waving his hands imperiously :D
I hate them with passion, specially the phone version.

It has become such a pain to actually speak with a human being that can sort out the problem instead of bots that follow pre-defined scripts.

Good luck when the problem doesn't fit the script and there is no option to switch to a human.

Screaming different kinds of complete random noise might force the bot to give up and switch to a human, however most of them just hang up.
Why just Henry Kissenger? Do you really think this boils down to a single person?
I didn't encounter the error myself for some time, but I don't know if it's because the language improved or I myself improved, so I can't give you a straight answer.

The charm of Eliza is that it was simply a Rogerian therapist who didn't try to be intelligent.

Eliza's talent was to give you a way to get to get to hear yourself. That doesn't require intelligence, so much as listening skills. There's nothing dumb about that.
Have you tried to click on the results ? The public google search API is very limited, you can't do much with it.
Okay. Cropping requires nutrient inputs though, and there's not much way around that. Nitrogen fixing and such are helpful but not able to supply all requirements.

Composting and this kind of organic farming is a nice boutique niche, but realistically it would be unable to sustain the food requirements of the world without being prohibitively expensive. Fertilizers based on petroleum and other mined minerals is the only options for that.
"Freedom" in American parlance is like "Truth" in Roman Catholic lingo.
Maybe you do get it. In my opinion, his empire is the very public good itself.

What is building an empire? To gather the resources, make plans, complete projects, gain collaborators, provide services, pass the torch. Defeat problems for public good, defeat temptations to extort exploit and abuse...
"I didn't want to learn any new ways of working so I bought the same computer as I had before." is a perfectly reasonable point of view but it doesn't really need a blog post.
Atleast in Finland there is a clear, legal, distiction between vacation and sick days. They are not exchangeable in any way.

I also recommend to think about something like Nigma[1] (Russian metasearch engine) had done before, something along the lines of Wolfram Alpha - mathematics, physics, chemistry. It's possible to integrate with something like Sage Math for this purpose, should not be hard but would be immensely useful for many.

Yes. It makes more sense for something as ubiquitous as Windows, for which multiple devices running the same product on the same local subnet is a norm rather than a relatively rare exception.
They're basically just anthropomorphized search engines. I'd rather have a good search engine + FAQ page.
1. Yes. You're also getting an equity lottery ticket, so make sure you understand how stock options work and what information you need to make sense of the offer. https://github.com/jlevy/og-equity-compensation

2. Not at all. With FAANG you're optimizing for compensation and resume prestige. With startups you're optimizing for learning opportunities, professional growth, faster pace, etc. You'll find that at different stages of your career you will start to optimize for different things.

3. Don't give a number. Indicate why you're interested in the company and that you're targeting the market rate for a company their size. Ask them for the role's comp range. Have a lower bound in your mind, but be realistic - a startup simply cannot match the compensation of companies that bring in billions in revenues.

In fact, the ACA tax credit is refundable; that is, if you owe no taxes, the government pays you.
How utterly condescending. Categorising a critique of Silicon Valley echo chamber BS as a trauma response is itself Silicon Valley echo chamber BS.

I prefer a simpler approach where only 100% read uptime is guaranteed: http://talk.binarytask.com/task?id=4662372011677848884

The way to do this is to asynconously write to all nodes in real-time, here you can try it out: http://root.rupy.se

Go to http://root.rupy.se/node?make&info and press Make and you'll se the replication in real-time! (although it's too fast so you'll only see it as being delivered in one go, if you wireshark it you'll see multiple HTTP chunks...)

You're going off on a tangent here. By all means criticise Raytheon for the bad things they do. But why criticise their CEO for making a tweet supportive of gay rights? No evidence has been presented that the tweet is not sincere. HN all too often seems prone to spinning complex and sometimes borderline conspiratorial narratives around LGBTQ rights advocacy.
It's literally a dichotomy by definition. If I say "in a comparison between chocolate and vanilla" I'm literally comparing those two specific flavors. To tell me it's a false dichotomy is silly.
So then the US is equivalent to the DPRK for wanting to put Julian Assange and Edward Snowden in prison?
China has always done this and it is always comically obvious.

The propaganda coming from the US against the Chinese is more subtle and convincing. It's scary not only because of how good it is, but because people here don't even realize they are being manipulated.
Well that's all well and good for those who have somebody who loves them. What if you're single? Guess we're all doomed.
Johann Hari’s Stolen Ideas
The single person that could have said no but said yes? The whole concept of responsibility breaks down when you make it impersonal.
> I'm guessing you are from non-traditional background and work in it somehow

You're guessing wrong.

> Having a track record is pretty basic when evaluating people for high level positions who have non-traditional backgrounds.

Not sure why you're saying that in a thread where everybody agrees that track record is important?

> Why is this upsetting to you?

It's not upsetting, I just think, as I've explained multiple times, that putting a spotlight on the degree alone, as the linked article does, is a bad argument, given that track record and experience matter much more than what degree someone got years ago. It's a cheap gotcha.
I have to say that the guy raised a huge red flag for me already in the first paragraph:

"I hit the gym, pursued the most interesting and important ideas I could find, and started looking for a wife."

Ho boy, I'm getting some Christian fundamentalist vibes with that sentence formulation. Like, a mix of a holy mission, an objectifying checkbox and a "time to get a wife to generate progeny".

So I continued reading:

"The squirrel has no way of knowing or checking that his instinct to bury the nuts will lead him to new life in the spring; he can only trust that God has given him what he needs."

"When we must we defer to a master who teaches us what to value, let us do that consciously and explicitly and personally. Let us aim to be uplifted thereby as we take responsibility for more and more of the task we are given, until the student surpasses the master to receive their visions directly from God."

"How does that project fit into creating a more glorious future? How is that future pleasing to God, the proper order of things, and your own felt value instincts? "

"God’s Trust Fund

The reason taking responsibility for the question of ends involves a leap of faith is that you actually have no sure-fire way to ensure that your visions are sound and good."

"Even fearsome Nemesis, born from chaos via night and darkness, is ultimately the hand of God and the minister of justice. Even the supposed exceptions to justice prove its rule."

"If your vision is beautiful and sound, it will flourish. Resources will unexpectedly come out of the woodwork to support it. If your vision doesn’t have that virtue, you will be struck down for its lack. That’s life. It is also justice. Where this justice conflicts with our own human desires, perhaps it is we who are wrong, not God."

"So take the leap, and have faith that God’s trust fund will come through with what you need."

Having read the whole article, the ongoing theme is "God" and "faith" and the whole article oozes with the unflinching conviction of a religious fanatic.

The man glorifies struggle and sacrifice for a "higher purpose" and then attributes good outcomes to the will of a divine being. I can't really stand behind that kind of reasoning, and I can't really understand how the HN audience resonates with this article. Maybe it's the hustle success story of an entrepreneur that is appealing to the audience, but the guy is actually sending a very dangerous and misleading message.
i liked your comment until the last sentence.

PLAY?

why the belittlement?

I'm quite sure that they were not: anxiety-driven avoidance is far more stressful and exhausting for me than any fruitful work. And having a constant feeling that you ought to be making up for lost time is a serious bar to genuine relaxation.

I did need a break after my last job, and it's very possible that contributed to the problems I had, but this was definitely a bug, not a feature.
I have had similar thoughts for some time too! Thoughts of building a co-op, and open source software needed to support it.

Coincidentally, I have a resignation email written, and have been sitting on it for several days. I am looking to quit work (for some time) not to work on an ambitious project, but just to see what will become of me when I do so. I started my career as a freelancer, and ADHD gave me tons of trouble. Structure and accountabiliy that a regular day job brought made my life very easier, motivation-for-work wise. Now after 5 years of doing a day job, I want to see what I will do when I don't have that structure around me.

HN today has been quite a ride for me.
That would be antieconomic. Culturing a truffe means buying a tree that cames "pre-configured" in a lab and letting it grow. This young sapling would cost, lets say, 80$. Thus they would be burying 1000$ for a lottery ticket with a small chance of turning it into a new 80$ tree. Very bad idea. Anybody can buy a pre-seeded tree online.

Eating the truffe instead is advertisement and creating a net of future exigent customers.

For chefs is also an opportunity to verify that you have exactly the right stuff. There are other types of truffe that grow in Corylus and have a much lower market value.
I’m a physics PhD student working full time as a data scientist and although it’s possible to do all my work with an iPad (set up servers I SSH to), if I have to work on something that will take more than 30 minutes, I’d rather use my laptop.

I’ve stopped trying to go on a full iPad workflow but embrace the iPad for what it is: not a laptop replacement but more of an add-on.

PS did my best not to use the word “computer” for this comment.
> I'm going to look forward to the sci-fi space films where the drama is survival in a hostile environment, and infinitely prefer them to war films.

So, movies like The Martian? I wish I could come up with more examples, and I hope someone replying to me does...
Reminds me of the 'study with me' YouTube videos - try some, it's weird!
In the UK there are automatic defibrilators all over the place for the public to use. The devices can measure the patients heart rythms and decide when to activate, meanwhile an automated voice tells the rescuer what to do.

Map to find public AEDs in the UK: https://www.heartsafe.org.uk/aed-locations

e.g. in small villages the red phoneboxes that used to have payphones now often contain defibrilators
Capitalism doesn't happen without state and it is defined by the state, so it's a failure of state regulation, not capitalism itself. States must set different regulation and/or incentives. It's perfectly possible to have 100% ecological capitalism.
IMHO this is the opposite to the ideal approach. The current schema version should contain tables and the old schema versions should contain views. Using the current form of Reshape is asking for maintainability and performance problems down the road as its approach doesn't let you easily drop old schemas and change indexes as new needs emerge.
> Is it _really_ an American thing?

Yes, it is - because in the US the receiver of the SMS also pays to get an SMS, unlike most other countries where only the sender pays. Obviously, Americans then start associating any green bubble text as costing them money ... school and college kids feel the pinch most and thus they strongly express their displeasure and create the Apple (iMessage) vs others tension.
I tested that by turning off Apple's autocorrect on my Mac. It turns out I'm a less accurate typist than I thought. Now, I'm happy to let autocorrect put right all "teh" mistakes I make. It's annoying when I want to type something unusual, but that happens less often than I make mistakes, so the balance is in autocorrect's favour.
I can relate to working with others. So far in the WFH pandemic I've been mostly all right, but I work so much better in a team, with someone actually telling me what to do, what they expect, instead of me having that responsibility myself.

I'm guessing it's a 'subservient' personality trait of sorts. Others are 'natural' leaders, good at keeping an overview of what needs to be done and distributing that. Others are self-motivated and driven and make amazing things all on their own. And all of those probably fit in a venn diagram.
Individual departments (cost centers) often have salary budgets - this motivates some managers to be penny-pinchers - save $10k here, $20k there, in no time you have enough budget for another warm body!
That advice does not resonate with me; I can definitely see the point, but the how of getting myself to do "something else" (whatever that could be) consistently escapes me.

Thinking about how I might regret things I haven't done just gives me worse anxiety, not motivation to start doing stuff.

I'm also not sure how you're supposed to "be happy" if you already aren't. Controlling emotional states is not something you can actually directly do rather than trying to affect them indirectly through behaviour and exercises.
I'd love to know how you've decided that this is a CRT issue? I'd also love to know who "they" are?

The ways you've phrased this makes it sound like you've just decided to take anti-CRT hyperbole as fact rather than understanding it, and are just labeling any racially biased behavior as being due to CRT.
