It's not a specific amount, and it's not memorization of specific words, it's more like assigning a sub-processor the task of converting the ideas into typing, while the main brain moves on to other things.

You've never had that with programming or other tasks? You think and figure out what to do, and then it's just a matter of getting the idea down on paper (or computer).
How is this legal? Where do they get these numbers? You employer(I dont think so) or your employer's payment role processors?

Seems like it’s his fault. I’m currently using the twilio API. A simple Python script could be used to filter out any messages that weren’t sent from an employee. He essentially has an unauthenticated open relay, a one way ticket to get put on a spam blacklist in the SMTP world.
That's awesome!

I wouldn't say it's less compile-time type safety assuming you assert the type of the data as soon as you obtain it. Typescript doesn't give you runtime safety anyway, so I can't really imagine any better way short of adding types to the actual runtime and making the browser assert them across MessageEvent.
And? I don't have to agree with the """ hardcore crypto bros """ either. Both extremes can be harmful.

That system you define there just exists in your head. It is not possible. It is like pretending the existence of unicorns. The real one every time ends up in an authoritarian regime.

> As you say your getting a much better tax advantage and can use capital Gains to reduce the tax rate.

This isn't true. RSUs are taxed as income at vest time, so if you're granted 100K in RSUs in 2020, and they vest in 2023, come 2023, if the stock has increased 25% to 125K, you'll be taxed on 125K of income. No capital gains involved anywhere.
Betty white passing on 31st
Yeah that's a good question and like most things in life, things aren't black and white. In terms of unconscious bias, I'm not sure how to answer that. I look for talent, professionalism, and attitude. That's it.

In terms of what a person can do vs how they happened to interview - that's a fun challenge. I tend to be extremely honest with a candidate, letting him know exactly who we are, what we do, and what types of challenges to expect. As I'm talking through that, I can usually tell if they have that engineering spark. If I really have a tough time trying to decide if they know their stuff, I'll draw a problem on the board and see if they can solve it - usually a problem we've recently solved ourselves. I also call references, which sort of helps. Hiring is a gamble and fortunately in my case, it tends to work out. It's rare, but every so often I misread someone and find out after they start that they aren't as far along as I thought. When that happens, I provide them with a mentor or offer to be one myself - or I relearn their skillset and then write proposals that highlight their abilities. In the extremely rare cases an employee can't/won't grow, I'll have an honest and polite conversation with them and then part ways.

When an employee starts here, they join a "work family." We look out for one another and push each other to learn. I tend to focus on my employees interests and skillset, then design customer solutions around those. That has worked really well for decades now and customers keep coming back!
I think a lot of the common memes around programmers like these is due to the wrong-think gatekeeping during the interview process that everybody is copying from FAANG.

I have 5-10 years programming experience and find an unlimited amount of bugs in other developer's work of any and all skill levels.

On occasion, something like a billing calculation will have a function doing the opposite of what they intend to do but somehow nobody has caught it in 5 years. I've also seen ancient security reports that just have a chunk of code that doesn't work like it sounds it should, causing 25% of results to be missed. These are just a couple of actual examples.

I focus on generally not screwing up my work like that as well as finding these problems in my team's code. It's mind blowing to me this has absolutely 0 value though. I and others like me are gatekept out of a lot of work since we process things differently. Developers can't seem to imagine a world where somebody thinks differently than them and memorizing leetcode is just as easy for everybody as it is them. "If you can't talk me through what you're doing while writing your memorized perfectly compilable code on a whiteboard or google doc, I guess you're either just lazy and not really invested, or a bad developer. Probably both."

The only thing that technically matters to get into the dev roles is memorizing leetcode problems in order to pass the interview so that A) You have a job at all (even small companies are doing these now)and B) You can get your actual salary corrected every couple years.

If it's not memorizing leetcode, it's how many (inefficient) lines of code did you contribute? (Thankfully this is finally starting to be phased out as a measurement AND bragging point.)

The people who make it through all this then go on to store their critical world-infrastructure Exchange version number in a 32 bit integer because "It worked and compiled when I tested it, so it's probably good enough." Nobody dares test it due to the toxic hostility back, or because a senior dev wrote it, or "I ran the code and it compiled for me, so it's good."

There's just so much talking down to others and gatekeeping about how leetcode solvers are superior and that it's the only possible starting block for a "real dev". I can't believe the frequency of simple yet major mistakes these people go on to actually do after they spend so much time bragging about it.

From her "scary" post:

> In certain jurisdictions, though, we’ve met or exceeded last winter’s hospitalization peak. We can see this in many states in the Northeast, including New York.

When presented with a new source, I tend to judge people based on their perspectives on things I know about. This one is a case study in being misleading, while not technically lying. New York state has only "met" last winter's hospitalization peak if you look at trend lines. If you look at hospitalizations per day, we clearly haven't. Also, of course, "last winter's peak" was not really any sort of stress for the hospital system at all (compare to the spring 2020 wave, which was), and it happened at a time when things were much more restricted than they are now:

https://covid-19.direct/state/36

The statement is more correct for NYC data, where hospitals have exceeded last winter's peak on a trend-line and per-day basis:

https://www1.nyc.gov/site/doh/covid/covid-19-data-totals.pag...

...but it's still misleading, because again, this is a fraction of previous waves in NYC, but also, a lot of these hospitalizations are going to ERs for testing. Government officials are pleading people to stop going to the hospital for trivial things:

https://twitter.com/MarkLevineNYC/status/1478353835793997827

I don't know if she is intentionally trying to mislead, or just doesn't have a good handle on the data, but this is the sort of thing that makes me skeptical of a person's other claims.
If I give you a million shares of a company, that act and your ensuing sale of the shares are not (particularly) polluting. But if I send you bitcoin and you then sell them, those transactions occur via a polluting process.
Meh, yet another PR-laden series of tweets. Gotta love that "we were mocked and insults were hurled at us" in PR-English is "this led to an important discussion", and "we wanted to jump on the bandwagon and thought no one would criticize us" turns to "a lot has changed since we started accepting crypto donations"...

This seems like the wrong time to bring in analogies, given that we all understand whats being done well enough to talk about it directly. Given that there were obvious problems that implied a clear and present danger to people it seems reasonable to take more immediate, more effective measures.

> Yes. And still the US had less CO2 production, less plastic waste, and more sustainable lifestyle.

This is frankly, an absurdly ridiculous comparison. Pittsburgh and Lorain, Ohio, where I had relatives working in the steel mills were completely choked out by smog/industrial pollution. The sky routinely glowed orange as in a volcanic eruption or the Great Day of Orange during the wild fires in the Bay Area! Everything and everyone was covered in soot. Buildings turned black. My old landlord's personal entertainment as a kid was watching dump trucks pour slag onto heaps - watching the molten embers cascade. People heated their houses with coal, which was dumped directly into their basements. Houses in Pittsburgh from that era have a lone, unenclosed toilet and often shower in their unfinished basements (Pittsburgh potty), so the workers could hose down without ruining their house. Rivers were treated as interstate highways at best - the Cuyahoga caught on fire for the Nth time in Cleveland (the EPA is created in the 1970s). Loads of kids routinely died from now treatable diseases! It was just a routine part of life. Cities were violent. Police just shot fleeing suspects in the back! 1973 saw multiple bombings daily. Police stations being bombed was so quotidian, it didn't even make the front page!
And why do you think practice is bad or people are not supposed to practice?

That's 32 keystrokes per second, I'm impressed. Unless you're using vim, in which case a minute is a long time to type: `ia <esc>0d$1000p`
I use Colemak, but I don't really buy into any of the claims of improved comfort or speed. It took me somewhere between 1-2 years to get to about the same typing speed as QWERTY (somewhere between 120-150 WPM depending on the test), and I have completely lost my ability to type QWERTY without looking at the keyboard. As others have said it is a big hassle when working on other machines or through things like remote desktop.

That being said, I don't regret anything and Colemak is way more comfortable, for me. I never typed "properly" in QWERTY, I would use every finger on my left hand, but only two on my right hand. I started to notice some pain in my right hand and so I tried to retrain myself to type properly, but it never lasted more than a day because I was typing half the speed with proper technique. The only way I could force myself to use a proper typing technique was to just completely switch the layout.
I use vim quite a bit too, just sayin...

> Russia is sending paratroopers because they don't want another Ukraine situation.

I think Kremlin doesn't want Russians to have an idea that their detestable government can be overthrown. "Do you want it like in Ukraine" and "we need stability"/"lest there is no war in Russia" are the most common takes (and literal quotes) from their TV coverages of protests or any criticism of Putin & his friends.
Let people make their own medical decisions. As we're seeing right now, even high levels of vaccination don't protect a community against high rates of transmission. Just look at Israel, which was the first country in the world to widely roll out boosters and is currently in the middle of an Omicron wave.

Initially there were hopes that vaccines would suppress the spread of the virus enough to end the pandemic, and if that turned out to be true then the unvaccinated would in fact be prolonging the pandemic, but now we know that that is not true. Anyone can get Covid, and anyone can give it to someone else. Vaccines are about personal protection at this point, not community protection.
The fact that this particular customer was only able to get a "friendly" human resolution for this by first posting about his problem on a tech-heavy social media platform like HN speaks very poorly about your company's customer service. I know that the giants like Google, Facebook et al shit all over their users now that they're large, but it would be nice to believe that it hasn't turned into a fad even among smaller companies doing it against their fully paying clients. Shameful.
GPT3 chatbots are what the majority of the article is about.
Startup is likely to be worse, because it typically runs a lot of different code for not long and the JIT might not have enough time to optimize much of that. OTOH the JIT needs to learn what the program is doing, i.e., profile it in a sense, and that has a cost on interpreter speed.
Still these numbers are worse than expected, especially [object validation], so if there is a way to reproduce it'd be great if you can open an issue about it.

Persisting the JITed code is what we think can solve the slower startup entirely:

> JDK 17 has most of the good features of Scala and Kotlin.

I keep reading on HN that "Kotlin isn't much better than Java X". Having used Java and Kotlin (mainly targeting JVM) full-time for 6 years, this doesn't match my experience at all.

Here are some of my favorite Kotlin improvements over Java that I leverage all the time:

* Much improved type system (nullable types, function types, declaration site variance, type aliases, contracts, better type inference, reified function type arguments)

* Local variables are final by default ("val")

* Type-level distinction between read-only and mutable collections (but compiled to Java collections under the hood, so no conversion required when interacting with Java)

* Much improved collection API

* Much improved lambdas (e.g., no pain points w/ mutating variables and checked exceptions)

* Extension functions (incredibly useful in practice)

* Much better DSL capabilities (great for UIs, generating HTML, etc.)

* Lazy properties (more generally: delegated properties)

* Coroutines (looking forward to Java's Loom; by then coroutines will have dramatically improved my async code for 5+ years)

* Great serialization support (kotlinx.serialization)

* Pragmatic macro-like capabilities via inline functions and compiler plugins (removes lots of boilerplate)

* Multiplatform support (JVM/JS/WASM/native; Graal native image is a good alternative to Kotlin/native and also works for Java)

Although I'm glad to see that Java is still improving, it will never get close to Kotlin. The most obvious reason is that many of Java's early design decisions were revised in Kotlin but are impossible or impractical to revise in Java. Also, Java carries the burden of being a platform language, whereas Kotlin can focus on being the best possible application language.

These days, I only use Java for libraries intended to be used from languages other than just Kotlin. In that case, I don't want to force Kotlin on users (stdlib dependency, debugging, etc.).

I got a tooth protector (the kind that's used for boxing) on amazon with a self-mold: you return it to the company that makes the final plastic thingie for you.

That'd be the preferred option, as it doesn't require any prescription or interaction with a specialist whose interest might not be aligned with the patients (multiple office visits = an opportunity to milk the insurance for more money)

If no company offers an option, I see an opportunity there!

Yes, but that’s because you’ve only started listening to people talk about the number of dead folks recently. 800k isn't nothing but it’s not exactly earth shattering.
Cryptos are being used as a way of payment and then via a series of conversions and exchanges (to the point that it is ridiculous what we have to do to avoid being robbed by our government) we get our national currency for our daily groceries, bitcoin acceptance is still extremely rare here afaik.

And it's mainly freelancers, IT workers, designers, etc. But the number of people who work this way is increasing every year since we are running out of options as well (no jobs besides delivery apps, working for the state doing basically nothing, etc.).

Kinda related: IT companies from our country are already complaining that there is an "unfair" competition because we get paid, for example 2000 USD, which is a very low sum for IT workers abroad but is a huge number for us while these companies can't even compete with that number for the same employee.

So I believe sooner or later the government will take advantage of their complains to try, somehow, to control the money inflow from people who work for companies abroad.

This is exactly what would happen if Argentinians started using cryptocurrency in large numbers, and the government found out about it.

A government that wants tight control over currency exchange will treat crypto the same way it treats other foreign currency: limit exchange, or ban it, etc.
I think that is pretty accurate. If you forgo the `do/end` syntactic sugar, Elixir sorta kinda starts to almost kinda sorta resemble S expressions:
