Someone in legal probably informed them that hiring outside of the US is a massive headache. But they could do it if they wanted to. The equity and vacation is more suspect. I would ask them for more money in place of the vacation (and lack of security) and also for equity. You don't need any excuse or tactic more sophisticated than "We talked about X, Y, Z as comp but you are offering X."

If you're not experienced doing it by email is better.
You still did not answer why you have a different opinion.
That is misinformation. The primary bottleneck in producing new physicians is lack of federal funding for residency programs. The AMA has been actively lobbying Congress to increase that funding for years.

I plant cover crops, but have no interest in animals. I have a software job to worry about when I'm not on the land and it would be economically foolish to trade that for time spent in animal husbandry. Nobody seems to want to rent my cover crops to feed their animals either, so I'm guessing I'm not the only who doesn't see the economic value.

Crops prices have priced in the increased fertilizer cost already, so it is what it is. We're used to it.
"Do some research?" Feh. Show us P&L statements for your choice of no-till rotational-grazing farm, or even this "research" is just a hobbyist diversion.

Now myself, I like hobbyist diversions that involve growing food, but farmers don't farm because they want to have fun. They farm so they can make money. If they stop making money, or if they don't make enough, they have to go into some other line of work, and typically sell the farm to someone who does make money.

And when you're not just selling gourmet vegetables to HN hackers making $200k+ a year, you're selling generic commodities like corn and grain and soy, where the competition is fierce.

And you're selling it to a world where the poor have a hard time affording food as it is. If this can't compete with conventional fertilizer, then even if everyone switched, people would starve.
Supreme Court hears challenges to Biden vaccine and testing mandates
I absolutely love Sneakers. Whenever folks talk about Hackers or the Matrix or any movies or shows that feature tech I argue that Sneakers is the best movie about hacking. I feel like a crazy old man ranting about it to some of my younger coworkers. It makes me sad that my handle (mother) on a lot of gaming services is much more likely to elicit a comparison to Danzig than Dan Aykroyd's character.
Do you have further plans / ideas for Linux random infrastructure enhancements? I’d love to hear about them.
Dwm 6.3 Released
On NCIS everyone is a superhuman at whatever they do. In addition to the traditional super-cop there's the super-forensics genius and the super-hacker from MIT. I think it's just the kind of show more than the kind of character. And people who watch (and write) hero shows are probably older generations and far less aware of modern job roles beyond the old professions.

But TV always veers off into personal drama, presumably to chase ratings, whether it's doctors or cops or anyone else.
If you find yourself solving the same conflicts over and over again, consider turning on rerere: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rerere
Well, obviously you should ask for something of equivalent value. If they value equity at their company at zero, and they’re well-informed, then why would you believe in it?

Listen, if you believe it’s a rocket ship, you need to get a seat. But you don’t want to be the guy servicing the plane on the ground. He doesn’t come along for the ride. Being bullish on a company you have no skin in is pointless.

$x plus equity and benefits is not equivalent to $x. But in the end, it’s all about BATNA. If your true BATNA is nothing, then you’re screwed.
2021: Year in Review and Lessons Learned
I lived for 2 years in Cancún and the climate was just horrible for me.

I spent like 8-10 months every year trapped indoors with AC. Just being a couple of minutes outside meant sweating _a lot_. Heck, after showering you had to dry yourself two times because you got way too sweaty unless you had AC in the bathroom.

No thanks. I really don't understand how people like living in tropical weathers.
I would argue that any EULA that was "agreed to" after the sale is unconscionable at best.

According to the first sale doctrine, I should not need any license to use software I acquired legally. Copyright law doesn't say anything about licenses. The normal operation would be for the software seller to give me a copy after the transaction. That copy would inly be subject to normal copyright law and the DMCA.

How can any contract made after the transaction be enforceable if we consider the unconsciability argument? This would be the same as if I bought a book which was then delivered to me on a sealed envelope with an attached contract stating "OPENING THIS ENVELOPE MEANS YOU AGREE TO THE END READER LICENSE AGREEMENT".
The two options are the cheap and the expensive one. If we're making the determination of which one to drop based on price, and are given no information about the options besides price, presumably price is the determining factor. All else being equal, cheaper means easier.
I like how the longer the range, the shorter the persistence. It should keep messages relevant.

It's an open secret you can code out DEF on some diesel VWs. The older TDI Touaregs that were fixed during Dieselgate are nearing the end of their 120k mile warranty and owners are recoding the ECU to ignore DEF warnings rather than maintain or repair them. I'm sure the same could be done for Cummins and Detroit.
About a decade ago I worked at a place where we frantically moved from our private offices to a big shared open office situation with whiteboards on the walls before the investors came because "that's how facebook does it."

It worked and the place got bought out lol. Business was shit though.
Vector Network Analyzers have come down in price to the $100 range, which is amazing in and of itself, so the home experimenter, likely a Ham radio operator, has a lot more capability to precisely measure things that were pure guesswork in the past.

Of course, the anechoic chamber is a nice thing to have. I once got to see the Anechoic chamber at Northrup Grumman near Chicago during a open house... a theater size room they used for various measurements. I'll never forget it.

This is a nice collection of information. The other place to get this type of data in the past was the Amateur Radio Handbook from the ARRL.
Public markets have the same incentives, as long as there's growth stonks go up. Late stage firms have relationships with banks and the return of SPACs made dumping roided up donkeys easier than ever.
A long time ago, I used listen to the radio on my Walkman just before sleeping, but I don’t think I could do this with podcasts or audiobooks. I’d be afraid of a) missing something, or b) feeling obligated to finish listening to the piece at some point. With radio, things just feel more transient and less discrete.

git rerere is the bees knees. it's the sunshine of my life. it's the silving lining to the clouds of rebasing. it's ... well, it's just the absolute shiznit and if you use git, you should have it enabled always.

Last year, I finally merged an 18 month "long" dev branch that I had kept up to date with rebasing many times during work on that branch. Why 18 months? Some things just take a long time. git rerere made this easy and almost painless.

I've just built it. Seems to work very well out of the box. I would like something similar for native android screen mirroring. But i guess Android requires p2p-wifi, which can be hard to setup on old laptops.
Also i would like to integrate this with Kodi on raspi4. Airplay support in kodi is not working at all for me.

He is in a position to build his own staff and run his own show, build his own culture and just generally control his own destiny in a way that line engineers are not.

He likely had the power to negotiate all kinds of working conditions, budgets and general other power before he signed on the dotted line.

A high-level, high-demand executive has a very different hiring experience than the average engineer.
"Free/pirated" services should just be tracked and the artist should be compensated from an organization (a'la rcaa/mpaa/etc). The "organization" could be government, but I'm sure that would not be welcomed in the U.S.
IPv6 without any transition mechanism is not Internet access. It's more like a tenth of the Internet. If an ISP has to buy a few addresses to run NAT64 that's a cost of doing business.

> Dependency on huge C++ runtime library and possible ABI problems.

C++ runtime is hardly huge by modern standards, and the usual resolution to ABI issues is to provide C bindings.

> Careless use of C++ -- Lack of judgement --

C doesn't make you immune to any of this.
What are buffer overruns if not careless use of C?

Edit: Considering that I suggested moving to C++ for vectors and strings, your bringing up of TMP and polymorphism sounds like a strawman argument.
You really should fine some time to watch it. It has a great ensemble cast and is both a time capsule of 90s computing and a timeless representation of what "real hacking" is (mostly losts of social engineering).
The FSF endorse ThinkPads with two or three chips running secret firmware blobs with full access to system memory via the LPC bus. They also endorse Bluetooth dongles running hundreds of kilobytes of proprietary firmware blob (which doesn't count for them because it's in ROM, not /lib/firmware).

RYF certification is absolutely meaningless, both from the freedom and security/privacy perspectives. It is actually actively harmful to freedom, as it encourages manufacturers to hide blobs to get through its backdoors (ROM blobs are OK, RAM blobs are not), when doing the opposite is actually more accountable and open, and allows for user-controlled replacement of blobs with free versions in the future.

Also, Stallman had personally said he wouldn't give the Novena open hardware laptop RYF certification unless they permanently fused off the GPU, "because otherwise users might be tempted to install the (optional, not distributed with the product or endorsed in any way) GPU blobs". Literally the same product segmentation nonsense we're bashing Intel for here. This was before open drivers became available, which they eventually did. Imagine how wrong the situation would've been if bunnie, the creator of Novena, had actually listened to this; "RYF" certified Novena owners would own crippled machines unable to use 3D acceleration, while the rest would own machines capable of running a 100% libre desktop including 3D acceleration.

> Libreboot disagrees with that

You do realize that that post is Leah politely saying that RYF sucks and is completely broken, and she's given up on strict compliance, right? FSF policy is indeed that you shouldn't upgrade your microcode (see e.g. endorsing linux-libre, which censors kernel messages telling you about important microcode updates).

Radar Chat allows users to leave digital messages that are attached to physical world locations. Most messages can only be seen if you're physically close to them which can be used to make scavenger hunts.

My first customers non-profits in the STEM space who are using Radar Chat to tag the businesses they partner with (Planetariums, Science Museums, etc). When students visit these places they can then check into them (if they're close enough) and get entered to win a prize. Here's an example of a STEM customer channel:

https://app.radar.chat/#/channel/glbra-stem-pipeline

Paying customers unlock additional features like permanent messages, always-visible messages, and messages that can be checked in to. Non-paying users are able to leave messages that have a maximum radius and an expiration time.

I do server programming by trade so any feedback on the UX would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Here's a link to the website with marketing information. It describes the produce a bit more than what's available in this post:

The difficulty bomb and merge is set for June 2022. Could it be delayed? Sure I guess but Bitcoin has absolutely no plans to fix its energy consumption.
Holy. Shit.

That would have been a freaking disaster if that happened to us, especially having to re-tool the application for new SIDs. I'm a little surprised that there is not a cooling off period after an account deletion as opposed to deleting everything immediately.

I was very defensive when my wife said that I should consider being screened for ADHD, I have the exact experience you do (a the OP) around this stuff. The defensiveness was something that I sorted out, and looking back on things, so many of my "vices" were just self-medication for ADHD. They were mostly coping strategies (with the exception of some social vices).

My adult diagnosis has been a game changer for me. I know most people don't mean that literally, but I mean that literally. It changed the game.
I got hired about a year ago at my current company. There are currently 20 teams sharing a monorepo based on NX and using angular as the dev framework, the problem though was that while they were using a monorepo to commit their code they were not using any of the nx features to build and deploy the application. The entire code base for the application was written as a monolith, there was one external lib that they were just using as a bucket for random shit. The problem was that each team was in charge of a product and each product had its own dead line and deployment schedule. The issue became that when one team needed to publish its work at the same time as another team and Team A had no issues but Team B's code resulted in a production issue both Team A and Team B had to have their deployment reverted to the previous version. Everyone was upset, they were talking about abandoning angular and switching to react. Like that would have changed anything, a monolith is a monolith however you write it. So I told them y'all doing this all wrong. I broke down the application into discreet layers: Styles, Atomic Components, Features, Kernel, Data Access, and Infrastructure. I showed them how to build a module and package each one as an npm package, demoed module federation and micro front ends. Upgraded the existing repo to consume federated modules and made a new repo for the new code. All components are not written in Storybook, each "product" is broken down into the correct layers, the layers all have defined documentation talking about the artifacts that are produced at each layer, every module has its own cypress suite, everything is modular and can be installed via npm. It's been a year since I started and we just deployed the first test module remote that has everything bundled as individual packages. I've never been so happy to reorg a project. I feel like I've obtained developer nirvana. I'm now a mad prophet bringing enlightenment to the unwashed masses.
Blink Comparison – simplifies comparing photos of tamper-evident seals
Same here. I did a take home that took 6 hours. Sent it in and then a few minutes later received a rejection. I'll never do that again. I now reject any take homes that will take more than 90 minutes. That's by my estimation - not the company's - I've seen many companies way underestimate the time it should take which is a sign that they've never had their own employees try it.

Take homes are bad because the time investment is asymmetrical. A company can just say to everyone who applies to do the take home test because there's really no investment on their part. At least with an interview, you know the company is investing an equal amount of time into the process.

Triplebyte used to be helpful because it did allow you to skip the initial phone screen but that doesn't seem to be the case much anymore.
A general advice that I have found useful in life is that if you see something that requires a change (in organization, business process, lifestyle or just about anything that has humans as a component) that doesn't directly involve yourself, then the best way to point it out is never to start with the assumption that people are just "lazy/ignorant". This is hostile and will usually have a negative effect on the willingness of the concerned individual to change.

Even in this case, the farmer who are farming on their own land are under no obligation to change their way of life or farming process. Even though we know that the methods they are using may be sub-optimal and a net-negative in the long run, we simply cannot make them change it, and certainly never by labelling them negative. We can make them see the benefits, or how it plays out in the long run and help them choose a better solution but ultimately, it's them doing the choosing.

At the end, if something is really really required, then it must be the Governments making regulation. This is how it generally works (I'm not saying I like it).
I could be wrong, I feel like OP is talking about the workflow where the entire branch is squashed before it is integrated into the main branch, not squashing intermediary commits into more logical ones (which is what I think you are talking about).

I sometimes listen to podcasts to fall asleep. I use the PocketCasts[1] app that has the ability to pause the podcast after an episode is over or after a certain length of time, which is nice if you just want it to fall asleep too and not play all night.

Podcast wise my goto is Phoebe reads a mystery[2], she reads various mystery novels and never fails to get me to sleep (sorry Phoebe). She is also the host of the Criminal podcast which is another good one, but too interesting to fall asleep to.

I understand that, but I believe that a market based system allows a capitalist system to be bootstrapped from within anarchy. If I'm able to trade for profit within the market, say in a voucher system, I can use those vouchers to purchase security from other less ideological people and bootstrap the coercive relationship between profit and violence. Maybe free market anarchists have an answer to this, but I'd hope that a revolutionary society could do better than repeating the inhumane parts of capitalism that originate from the market and could recreate it wholesale.
The only conferences I have attended have been AWS re:Invent. I've been twice in person and did the virtual conference in 2020.

> It is too much cramming

My approach has been to tailor my schedule to include the talks that will supercharge the problem I'm currently working on, or will be soon. For me this is more valuable; the trade off might be that you lose out on hearing about things in other areas you aren't working in, but I can skim through videos after they are posted online if something sounds interesting.

> Networking is hard

To me this is a big pro of being in person for the conference. These have tended to happen naturally for me and for others I have attended with at the various parties that happen at the end of each day. I guess it depends on why you are networking -- finding a new job, recruiting for your company, just making friends, having interesting conversations, or something else. For me networking is just a way to hear about problems other people are solving in different areas and to have some fun conversations. For others I've been with they were looking for a new job and it was really valuable for them (probably not what their company would want them to do haha).

> It doesn't have to be that way. It is possible to fix this cheaply with great return-on-investment. At HPTS, Pat Helland gives an orientation talk urging everyone to meet everyone.

Agree that this can be hard if you are an introvert, but not sure how saying "Alright, introverts, go talk to each other!" really helps, but apparently it did.

> Travel and stay logistics suck

Never experienced this with re:Invent. It was pretty easy to register and get a hotel/flight.

I like in person conferences so I'm probably bias; I think it's a nice way to get away from work and dedicate time to learning and meeting others. When I've done online conferences I usually end up working while the talks play in the background, or I get pulled into something because I'm "online" and miss talks. Is it worth the thousands of dollars you pay? Maybe.
