Yes, but good point about the squatting, I know it's going to be a problem, eventually solved by the "market" but I would like something a bit leaner... thanks for stirring my noodles.

Maybe a penalty for unused names with time, but that will just drive paid spam and energy "waste"... time solves everything, I'm sure a better solution will crop up eventually, it's not like I will be done next week!

Unfortunately for us, everything is a pyramid scheme, you just have to make an as stable/fair pyramid as you can!
It's my contention that it's actively harmful to truth, science, and public health when we pretend like there's value in having a "civil conversation" with bad faith actors.

There's no benefit to cosplaying as Socrates when there is no data point or research result that could change the mind of these weird conspiracy theorists. If a well-done study came out tomorrow that demonstrated Ivermectin worked to help Covid patients, it would literally be in every hospital's protocol tomorrow.

On the opposite side, these charlatans have been promoting IVM since March 2020 with absolutely no evidence of efficacy (often at the expense of convincing people to not get vaccinated). What little evidence has come out has only weakened the case for it as a treatment, and yet, they're still promoting it as fervently as ever.

If you want a long-covid treatment protocol, you should absolutely look somewhere else aside from the pages of the most stubbornly wrong people in this whole pandemic. They've shown repeatedly that they don't care about updating their priors when there's contradictory evidence. At least the HCQ dorks have mostly retired to complaining about cancel culture.
I met a man who travelled the world with three socks. Two to wear, one to wash and dry. Rotate.
>Probably because it's easier and you're a better engineer than I am.

Not necessarily! Maybe you just like puzzles? I don't.

>In other words, I have difficulties finding 50+ hours of large chunks of time to be unavailable to my family in my supposed off time.

If that's all that's stopping you from working on a ray-tracer, I think it's "just" a time-management problem. I work in increments ranging from 30 minutes to 2h. The trick is to schedule them, or at the very least, to have some kind of issue tracking system for yourself so that you can find an appropriately-sized chunk of work for those serendipitous 20 mins.
I've always heard filtered to bring it to sterility, but there have to be other steps to flocculate. Micro brews or traditional European brews are often bottle finished.

Some micro breweries use a finishing yeast that's different than the fermentation yeast to keep that proprietary. I think anchor brewing comes to mind for this.
I really dislike how this data is presented. Trying to imagine 4.5M workers quitting their job is really difficult since it such a big number and lacks context.

I think it would be better to say

"about 3% of US workers quit their jobs in November"

For context, from Jan-2000 to Jan-2020 the average monthly percentage of workers quitting was x%"

Can anyone find a reference for x? I am having trouble.
same here. a nice example is the repair stuff including inner tubes I tend to carry around on bike tours (like 10km and more). she also made fun of me for being so well equipped. and then one day she had a flat tire. good thing I had that stuff with me. because otherwise we'd have had to walk it for quite some time.
And yet we are more interconnected than ever before. Even the most impoverished can travel across the country in 3 days by car or bus. As diverse as our personal cultures are, our administration of state and infrastructure, our economy, is as interwoven as ever. I argue that there are many things which could have been handled by the states in 1800 that cannot now, or otherwise were not issues or responsibilities of the state at all in 1800.
This seems like redefining the term: DNS is fully decentralized in normal operation — the hierarchy has fewer parties involved, but no one entity owns the entire data set the way you’d have in most distributed databases.
It does depend a bit on your needs. If you're only traveling for a few days, or you have convenient access to laundry, most of the hardcore one bag stuff is unnecessary.

A lot of the expense comes from working out clothes that fit multiple needs and can be reworn multiple times without getting disgusting.

(I will say: a good bag is actually worth the money almost-regardless of how long your trip will be. Well designed straps and load arrangement make a substantial difference in how your back and shoulders will feel after carrying it through a trip. Matters less if you're doing 100% car travel, of course.)
It's a seriously cool piece of tech.

If a company has a 40% profit margin and employees ask for raises they have two choices. Lower profit margin or raise prices. If they are in a competitive market then raising prices is a risk because their competitor may chose not to.
I wouldn't say that's even the main issue, but it _is_ probably one of the more difficult ones to solve assuming that just logging all certs publicly the same way every other CA does isn't an acceptable solution for you.

The bigger issue right now is this:

> under current BRs, a name constrained subordinate has to meet all the same requirements an unconstrained subordinate does, which means secured storage and audits

Basically, even a name constrained intermediate CA is subject to all the same regulatory requirements as a trusted root CA. From a regulatory compliance perspective it'd be pretty much equivalent to operating your own globally trusted root CA, with all the auditing and security requirements that go along with that. And if you ever screw up, Let's Encrypt, as the root CA your CA is chained to, would be held responsible for your mistakes as required by the current BRs.

Basically, it's not happening anytime soon without some serious changes to the Baseline Requirements and web PKI infrastructure.
doesnt windows have a clipboard manager built in?
I don't understand why people keep saying this. Every state except Montana in the US is "at will": the employer can fire you at any time with no reason. I suppose you could try to prove discrimination because of age or something else, but just like you can walk out and never come back, the employer can ask you to leave and you're done. Companies have no liability if you are fired other than a discrimination lawsuit.

SQLite seems like a great choice of storage since it fills these requirements:

- The system should be able to efficiently store, manipulate, and search an unlimited number of clipboard entries with reasonable performance.

- All functionality should continue to be available when offline (other than sync).

- The software should be cross-platform, and should have implementations for major desktop platforms (Windows, X11, Wayland, macOS).

- It should be safe and easy to simply copy the database file to another host, "pre-seeding" the clipboard history.

- It should be easy to write interoperable implementations of bridges/clients in most programming languages.

- Non-GUI functionality should be separated (or separatable) from GUI functionality, so that a GUI toolkit doesn't need to be loaded at all times.

But I'm not sure how to do this in SQLite as it probably does not fill deleted records with zero bits (but you could do that in your application):

- Deleted clips must not be trivially recoverable.
In 1999, I took home the book that came with the ColdFusion install disks, and learned pretty much the entire language in a week. Now there are Ruby Gem or Node modules with as much or more complexity.
Nothing will ever kill spreadsheets, but if something did, it would be this.
The psilocybin gave me a God complex delusion due to the hallucinations ideas and feelings I had during the trip. unfortunately I didn't shake the fundamental world view I gained after the trip until objective reality tossed me around enough to snap out of it.
Who said anything about flipping out on the teenage girl making minimum wage being the right thing to do? Is that how you interpreted my comment even though I very explicitly denounced what happened?

I think actions such as politely voicing displeasure at the policy to the worker so they understand that many people think the policy is dumb, asking to speak to the manager or owner, and leaving so the restaurant doesn't get your business are the right thing to do in this case.
Something similar happened to me once. A few months later, I learned that a neighbor had set up a ham radio transmitter.
I'd probably just get an appropriate power strip and some Kill-a-watts. Alternatively you could look at smart devices with energy monitoring. The TP-LINK HS110 connects to wifi and measures current, power, and total energy with a community-documented local-network protocol [0], but they have been discontinued and prices shot through the roof. The replacement is KP115 but I have no idea if it still uses the same protocol or not. And I have no idea how accurately any of these devices handle weird (eg non-resistive) current waveforms.

[0] it wants to connect to "cloud" as well, but works fine without giving it Internet access.
read the room. Perception is reality.
_slightly_ tongue-in-cheek, because i'm annoyed by people calling the top 3% "full" stack

But, an example is discovering from the DSACK responses that your network performance sucks because the intel TCP offload firmware is retransmitting entire jumbograms when any packet gets lost.

Also discovering that you can't get near full network bandwidth because some moron attaches a 3-byte SNAP header.

And if you don't have some idea how your programming language works, how do you know what you're doing? When a memory cache miss costs the equivalent of several hundred instructions.
If you send your compounds off for proper testing it shouldn't be that dangerous, but that will increase the cost a few 100% most likely

Testing usually doesn't come cheap, but you also might be able to drop by a well equipped Chem department at a university for testing as well
Yes, I'm already using SQLite! It's great. Ditto uses it too.

To make SQLite zero-out deleted pages, issue "PRAGMA secure_delete = on".

Been playing a lot of steam games with proton, it is mind bogling how valve expanded from support for linux for the source engine to support 70% of the games.
I wonder if it is possible to add a feature to Typescript to help with this:

You could potentially add a syntax for type guards function types, then add a signature to filter that accepts a type guard and returns an array of the guarded types.

Shouldn't be too much of a stretch given that we have type guards.

The syntax is a bit annoying... should be something like filter<A, B>(cb: A => A is B)

:/
> it just felt like they were desperate

That's what it sounds like. I had a guy from my past (somebody I had worked for years ago, but didn't know that well) call me up out of the blue once, basically begging me to come work for him. I was flattered, and looking forward to (finally) being treated like a human being instead of a replaceable cog for once in my programming career, so I took the job. Good lord, what a mistake. The reason he was begging was because he was a totally abusive asshole and couldn't keep anybody for any amount of money. You would think that watching people come and go would make these people re-evaluate their approach, but in their minds, it's always the "peons" that are wrong.
Actually no! A kid got hit at the same stop sign with a car. (everybody runs the stop sign in question in our neighborhood, it's fairly deep in the subdivision and no real way for a cop to stalk it without being noticed, and about 90 percent of the subdivision has to go through it to get anywhere) I remember stopping and waiting till his parents came, when i saw a kid crying on the road.

He didnt actually have to go to the hospital and went home that night (parents took him to urgent care and he had nothing broken and no concussion).

Kid who got hit with the bike had a hospital stay though.

I tell my own kids to stay the hell away from that stop sign now.

embrace the internet, contribute, and eradicate the censors by pissing them off
If you are seeing sales and conversions, why do you feel that your demos suck ? Numbers will give you a better picture. What is your conversion rate on Demos ? 1% ? 5%? 20% ? If it is in 2 digits, it may not be bad. The question is: How can you up the conversion rate ?

I do demos for a living (SAAS founder like you even though I have a small team)

The idea of a demo is to demonstrate solutions to the prospect's problems. It is not about showing features even though we tend to do that a lot since we love our product so much. My advice:

- Only do demos with qualified prospects (common method is the BANT rule (Budget, Authority, Need, Timeline). Do a discovery Call first where you get an idea of whether they are a good fit for your product and vice versa. No point showing Demo to unqualified prospects. It will waste yours and their time.

- A demo should ONLY focus on their key problems. Problems for which they are willing to buy. Period. Best demos are those where you just focus on those and possibly demonstrate how your product can solve it. For example "We already have xyz vendeor but they suck at abc which we really need". That's great information. Now you can show them how your product can solve for abc.

- "Show me what you got" or "We are shopping for features" type customers usually are a bad fit because the Demo won't be effective. I hate going in Demos when I have no clue about the biggest reasons why they are looking for a Product in the 1st place.

- Don't respond to RFPs unless they are willing to discuss together. Mostly a time suck with no results. Don't fall for those unless you know the game and play it already

- I have done 100s if not 1000s of demos. I think the first 10-20 mins is the key where you will have an idea if it is going well or not. If prospect is not asking questions, it may be game over and you need to engage them. If you are the only one talking, it is game over.

- Don't make it a monologue. Pause every 2 mins and ask "Does this make sense? Any questions on this". The goal is to understand if they are liking what they are seeing or if it is relevant to them.

- Before doing a demo, make sure you really have a clear understanding what the ned and problems are. If you cannot get that clarity before the demo, it is going to suck.

- Did I already say that the goal of a demo is not to show features. The goal of a demo is for you to get the prospect to say "Hey they seem to have solution to our problems. Let me buy or at least let me continue the conversation". If you fail to get them to say that, you have most likely lost or they were not qualified prospect in the first place.

- Always end a demo with next steps and action. I usually ask "Based on what we discussed so far, do you see enough value in continuing our conversation or do you honestly feel you didn't see enough to keep going further". Then pause and let them respond. If positive, suggest a Next step which could be "Buy or Trial" for the most part. Sometimes, it could be "We like what we see. need you to talk to another team".

- Record all demos (with permission) and then analyze later. If you spoke more than 60% of the time, probably a bad thing.
Ask HN: How’s the Orlando / Tampa Scene
Similar to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29802962

We are considering moving down to FL from the Bay Area. How's the overall scene? I mean tech employment, culture, people, kids education etc.
Would love some insights from people who made a similar move to central fl.

For lack of better words - South Florida has too much of a “superficial/materialistic” vibe for our taste. We are your standard issue Asians who have a, generally speaking, more conservative bent and strong focus on academics for our children and the general environment surrounding them. (Not saying it’s better than others or anything like that, just saying it’s what we value)
I was doing this--using Darling to run the various tools from Xcode on Linux so I could build one of my macOS projects--five years ago and it worked great, but I haven't done it much since as at some point I started using MacStadium to rent Mac Minis. (I want to start using Darling again though, on the assumption that it is still working for running more GUI-oriented build tools--stuff like ibtool and actool, which I have sadly started to need, and now particularly the actual xcodebuild stuff, as Flutter is forcing me into that world due to its usage of CocoaPods... I hate it :/--from newer versions of Xcode.)

It's not that they need a reason intrinsically, it's that if the person being fired is of a protected class, the company wants to protect against that person suing for discrimination. Those sort of suits are definitely filed without grounds sometimes, and it's expensive to prove it's baseless, so the PIP can be a way to establish cause.

All that said I agree they can be genuine. They also can be ass-covering.
It's not like box office returns where nearly every year they are broken. This is a new trend. Check out the graph here - https://www.reuters.com/markets/asia/live-markets-pmi-jolts-...
I completely agree. The threshold should be $1 or the equivalent in local currency (adjusted for average hourly wage).

Sold is sold. Crossing that threshold is a huge step. Congrats to the author.

They only used the arch, so everything was in compression. Rebar gives concrete tensile strength.
Lately I've seen less recruiter pitches from Amazon and more personalized messages from managers there about specific roles on their teams, which is a new wrinkle. I doubt that those people would add hours of recruiting to their weekly workload unless the standard candidate pipeline was really running dry.
unbound-1.14.0 (newest).

But I should have qualified -- I run a caching resolver for use by half a dozen users (so about 20 devices). Load is negligible, but it works perfectly! YMMV.

As an added benefit, my unbound instance is also faster than 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, or my ISP's resolver farm.
> Please do not put a resolver directly onto the internet.

Consider using DoT or DoH instead, or at the very least disable UDP queries (there's a slight penalty though).

Arguably the same argument works the other way around as well, that in thinking flat recursively flattens all arrays of arrays you get confused when it doesn't. (I've definitely run across that footgun.)

For me, I just find that in almost all cases I've used flat it's been with Infinity as the depth value. It seems to me as well that most of the time you'd probably either want 1 or Infinity, not 5 or 12 or whatever, so perhaps it would've even been better to just have two functions: flat and flatDeep (or some such, naming is hard) the latter of which would default to Infinity but allow different depths as well.

Probably reads better than just flat as well, e.g. `.flatDeep(5)` rather than `.flat(5)`. Oh well, we're stuck with this now so it's all an academic exercise anyway, but I'd be curious to know the rationale of the design. Maybe I'll wade through the spec repo one day to see if there's any discussion about it.
Am I misreading this or are you implying that if people had absolute rights to discriminate in their private interactions that racism would have disappeared on its own?
Have you asked participants for feedback?

Why do you think your demos suck?

Who is your intended audience? Does it change based on audience? It should. How you speak to a team of engineers is different than talking to a group of administrators, or a group of financial stake holders. Tailor your message (and demo depth) to what they really care about.

Let's say I'm demoing a web app to a group of people. If I'm dealing with the security team, I'm talking about architecture, how SSO works, etc. If I'm dealing with administrators, I'm talking about how easy administration is in the products; I'm not going to talk about whether my product supports IdP or SP initiated SSO. If I'm demoing for financial stakeholders, I'm going to spend my of my time talking about reporting features and how they tie back to business outcomes.

Instead of thinking about a demo (or sale), think about teaching the product. What does your audience really care about? Teach that. Then hit them with the sales pitch afterward.
I have given a lot of demos. Most probably cost the company I was working for sales given the "tour of the product" approach.

The way to a better demo is to first learn why they are talking to you, and what their pain is. Usually, they are investing their time to watch your demo for a specific reason, or pain point. Ask questions to identify what that is first! Fish for some specifics that your app can solve. Listen carefully.

Once you know what their problems and pains are, then you can show how your problem can solve those problems. That's your demo--not a product tour. The "wow" factor comes in when you lead them right to the solution for the problem they have. When you see patterns, you can make canned slide decks for these problem-sets and, by choosing the appropriate one, make it seem like your entire demo is an answer to their problem.
Is there anything that is cross-platform, across desktop, smartphone and web-apps?
Nobody tests on a Mac. If Apple wanted the platform to be supported they could make it much cheaper to test on, but instead they've made developer hostile moves for the last ten years.

Totally incorrect. Berlin and Hamburg are states right now.

Demanding code that runs is silly, I agree. I think it can be valid to see how people cope.

Legally yes but large companies generally have rules in place that go beyond legal requirements. One of those rules could be “you can’t fire someone for performance reasons without putting them on a PIP first and documenting why it failed”. Middle managers have very little power in bending those rules.
Seems like you just need an job aggregator that skips particular companies you dislike.
