You could get CERB/CRB for a maximum of 54 weeks, so just over a year. Those who started collecting CERB right at the beginning of the pandemic would have run out of it more than nine months ago. And that's before the programs ended in October.
In Outlook, on the vendor's own O/S, one can click on the "trash" icon of a message, and then watch in horror as a new message arrives, every message drops down a slot, and then the program recognizes the click on the trash icon of what used to be the message above, which is then deleted. I mean, come on.
Not sure about OP but in my experience, SF has so many hidden fees for restaurants it's not even funny.

Restaurants were tacking on COVID surcharge fee on top of the SF mandate fee that they were imposing on diners. Tack on tax and tip and you literally have four additional fees on top of what you see on a menu.
It's not exactly "making the whole thing with period tools" but rather "exploring how each part could have been made using available technology (but still doing the bulk of the work with modern tooling)".
What is this guy talking about? Workers are not getting COVID benefits of any kind right now, not unemployment, not relief checks, nothing, in the US. If you quit voluntarily in most states you don't even qualify for normal unemployment. The improved unemployment benefit was ended in September 2021, and it did not result in increased employment!

Yeah, the "not permitted" language is bizarre. Not permitted by who? Is there a law? No. Did I sign a contract? Presumably also no, although I wouldn't be completely surprised to find out that dealers are getting people to sign this right away.

I had the same feeling when I read that as I do when I hear people say "it's not legal, it's just not illegal." First of all, this is nonsense. Things not being illegal is the literal definition of them begin legal. But I just don't understand this attitude at all. Like, do you think you need explicit permission to do anything? How sad is that?

All that being said, I wouldn't open that hood. :)

That's a great point. Also, the more renewable capacity is installed, the less often fossil and nuclear plants need to run at full capacity, which means they generate less energy (and less RoI) over their design life, which pushes up their "levelized" costs further.

As you say, the inflection point for that economic effect was probably years ago in a lot of places, although if the world had made an economically rational coordinated response to climate change 40 years ago, it could well have made sense to mass-produce nuclear power stations and use the excess energy for atmospheric carbon capture.
Not quite sure how to answer that if it's not already obvious to you. If democracy collapses, the result will almost certainly be Donald Trump being effectively a dictator. He very nearly started a nuclear war on more than one occasion during his first administration when some checks and balances were still in place [1] [2]. Nothing could stop him if he decided to do it again during his second.

I suspect you're thinking of 3.5g amount - which is a typical amount of magic mushrooms to consume. The study is using psilocybin directly.

Wikipedia states "The concentrations of psilocin and psilocybin ... [is] 0.37–1.30% (dry weight) in the whole mushroom".

Assuming about 0.5% concentration, 3.5g of dry mushrooms is about 18mg of psilocybin/psilocin.
Yeah I was noticing how wide the gaps were on his

Well, there is Route 1, if you can get to it.

Back in I think 1995, somebody rolled a tanker full of sulphuric acid on I-95 southbound about Fredericksburg. It took a long time to get to the Acquia exit from just past the previous one, and Route 1 didn't move that well once we were there.
As a manager or co-worker, if you reported "no progress" a few days in a row, I'd ask why not. I would honestly be looking for ways to help you make progress because getting stuck in a rut sucks (and we've all been there).

I don't care if some widget in Jira gets moved today or next Monday (but you're making progress to completing that feature/fix/whatever). I do care if you're literally making no progress.
Ultimately I think it's down to where you want to pay for that decision (for want of a better term), or where to put the bottleneck. I think that putting the bottleneck in production (which would block all work unrelated to a fix if a catastrophic fuckup took place) might as well be a hedge against the possibility of things fucking up so badly in a given timeframe. You could also make code review a bottleneck, but I haven't seen that work well in practice compared to putting it at QA or as part of a release process (unless you combine them in a continuous delivery workflow).

I can see how that equation balances in favour of no code review when it's in the context of a startup that is probably still figuring out how to make money, especially with a subscription based app launcher. As far as prototyping and early stage iterations go, you're probably just seeing what works and reviewing the code isn't so important at that point. There would still be one or two things you'd ask someone to check, e.g. security related stuff.

I think you make a good point though: what makes an effective code review process? I don't think there's a single answer to that because it depends on the circumstances.

I would at least say that it goes better if it's treated as a priority and issues are raised and dealt with promptly, rather than leaving it as a chore you eventually get around to. And you would have to see value in it beyond it being a sanity check, as others in this thread have described (knowledge transfer, for example).
Not at all. One is the null hypothesis that is also supported by evidence, and the other is also known as having delusions of grandeur.
Awesome, I'll ping you.
Who hasn't spraypainted fake-carc right over that gas-dust that collects in the handles?
It's been painful watching my family members who own a restaurant and a bar.

I think this post still misses the mark.

Food prices are not up 5-15%, based on what my family is seeing it's up 40-50%. They're desperately trying to find cheaper solutions.

In addition to that, when the restaurants were forced to be shut down in 2020, people switched roles. People started working at Amazon and other companies.

Now there's a shortage of cooks, bar-tenders, etc. Previously, they were paying $7/hr + tips for a bar-tender. Now, they can't get people to apply for under $15/hr + tips. My one family member cannot even find a cook and they're offering 50% more than they were in 2019 -- $30/hr. So they're working 12-14 hr days, 7 days a week to keep the place running.

Combined with increased costs, there was a drop of 20% or so of patrons (compared to 2019) and patrons are more price sensitive.

To me, it's clear from reading this comments that many people do not understand the economics of a restaurants. Which are far different than chain fast-food place locations.
> The possible creation of extra HTTP resources (response resorces?) seems to me contrary to idempotency.

A GET request might create additional (or modify existing) resources, say if the API exposed it's own log via HTTP.

Both safe and idempotent are less expensive than one might naively think in the HTTP spec (which is good, because the naive understanding, while aesthetically seductive, isn't very practical at all.)
Some quotes from the relevant bits of RFC 7231:

“This definition of safe methods does not prevent an implementation from including behavior that is potentially harmful, that is not entirely read-only, or that causes side effects while invoking a safe method. What is important, however, is that the client did not request that additional behavior and cannot be held accountable for it.”

“The purpose of distinguishing between safe and unsafe methods is to allow automated retrieval processes (spiders) and cache performance optimization (pre-fetching) to work without fear of causing harm. In addition, it allows a user agent to apply appropriate constraints on the automated use of unsafe methods when processing potentially untrusted content.”

“Like the definition of safe, the idempotent property only applies to what has been requested by the user; a server is free to log each request separately, retain a revision control history, or implement other non-idempotent side effects for each idempotent request.”

“Idempotent methods are distinguished because the request can be repeated automatically if a communication failure occurs before the client is able to read the server's response.”
>Instead, the state of Virginia focused on building additional lanes to the already existing highways

They do this because they get to turn the extras into toll/HOV lanes and rake in dough without making tons of people's lives worse and getting pressure put on them to not be jerks like that.

Ask HN: Dealing with wrist pain / tendonitis as a developer
I'm currently trying to come back from a very painful tendonitis in the forearm and wrist pain in my right hand, I overtaxed it trying to wrap everything up by end of year. I had a week off and used a splint and feel better but I'm just in my 2nd day back and I'm already feeling soreness and mild pain.

I have a splint and bought a hot/cold gel pad, cold especially helps.

I also switched my mouse to left handed use, it does strain my left hand a bit probably for not being used to doing it.

But typing is a big problem and I'm worried about coding, I'm having stuff piling up and I need to get it done but I don't know if I need to rest more or what.

How did you recover from this, any tips / meds / using voice activation for writing?
I stopped reading at the part that blames the “free money” for sitting at home. Fuck that. This is especially obnoxious when part 1 said let’s raise margins. So you want more money but don’t want to pay sufficient wages to the staff? Fuck that! You lost complete credibility and just appear to a greedy person.

Edit: I’m calling the restaurant owner greedy for not wanting to pay decent wages. Why is that controversial?
Italy does have some coal and Rome at one point had the coal seams of the UK.
This is the second time I've posted a comment on a similar article [1], so I'll try to make this one a little different. First, there's a lot of genuine pain that restaurants are feeling that's not their fault. But I will say that the restaurant industry has been due for a reckoning for 10-15 years - they became addicted to 1) lower and lower margins, 2) a workforce ready to deal with the low pay, terrible hours, and abusive environments, and 3) a seemingly endless stream of customers.

All of this combined to create a world where #1 forced many restaurants to become dependent on #2 and #3 to be profitable - which was clearly unsustainable, but no one was willing to recognize that.

Part of the dynamic for #1 is that you had a flood of first-time operators coming on the market with lots of capital and a long runway for profitability. Restaurant concepts that make no sense if you're a traditional owner/operator might be fine if you have cash to cover the losses for 1-3 years. There was also a huge shift from solo location operators to people with "concepts" that are built out of the gate with dreams of building an empire - everyone saw Shake Shack and Chipotle and said, "How hard can that be?"

All of these well-funded, inexperienced operators got their restaurants out the door, optimized for growth rather than sustainability, and then the pandemic hit, and suddenly the sand that their business was built on began to slide out from underneath them.

This is a generalization, of course, and only reflects a subset of the restaurants that have been hurt/closed by the pandemic. I'll absolutely say that another big swath of restaurants that closed are restaurants that have been around a long time and were probably running on fumes already, and unable to adapt.

But at the heart of both groups are businesses that were built on unsustainable foundations and poor business practices. Running a restaurant is _hard_ - comparing it to running an accounting business is laughable (as the author did in their first essay). The best restaurant operators can look at a menu and know_ exactly how much they are going to make on each dish, have a professional level nderstanding of electrical and mechanical maintenance, understand a forest of local laws and regulation, and can hire and attract quality talent AND keep them interested and engaged. On top of that, in major metro areas, they also have to be branding, social, and marketing experts.

Covid has been hard for everyone, especially restaurants, but the best-run restaurants were able to dig in and adjust and adapt, because they had a solid foundation and a strong leadership team. Complaining that teenagers don't want to work a shit job for low pay and terrible hours totally misses the point.

> Most discussions I have had on the topic with experts and such in their labs are usually in good faith with collective enthusiasm for what science can one day bring to humanity.

I don't doubt that. What I doubt is that most experts would happily claim, even among friends, that what they're doing relates to "eugenics", which isn't just a sequence of letters that you can find in a dictionary. It's inextricably bound up with a very dark history. Consider why the Wikipedia article for eugenics isn't just a short one-sentence statement that eugenics is about increasing the occurrence of positive hereditable traits.

How will the junior estimate the complexity of something he does not understand? Either too short or too long. So the difference is not that big between points and time.

Also, in all the teams I’ve been the devs had no problem using the points. The managers are the ones that force a link between points and days. In that case the author says: just use the days.

Agreed. It's amazing how code magically gets better when you know someone else will be reading it.

This is silly. Econometrics is the basis for much of what we now call data science, and good causal inference. It has bugger all to do with nafta.
No it does not. But it also leads to one-two clear person you know to ask. It also leads to same person explaining same thing multiple times. So as long as he cares just a little, the explanation will improve.

And the person doing explanation actually understand the whole part. That is big one too - you are not explained bits of it by someone who knows only small parts of it. And the system was not changed by third party without the person who explains having at least vague idea it was changed.

> Ownership and accountability are workable as long as the same person sticks around long enough to fix all their mistakes. If that person leaves, the code becomes orphaned and it's up to one of their teammates to find out where the skeletons are buried.

That is actually exactly the same without clear areas. Except everyone is new all the time.

If you have high turnover, this aspect will be bad matter what.

And it is not that bad with responsibility either. Old person does explains things to new person. Taking over, when you are working consistently in same area is not that hard, actually. Some parts you conclude to be mess, but usually not whole of it.

---------

And imo, quality and knowledge heavily depends on other parts of team. Analysis and testing. Both, if work reasonably well are massive resource for knowing how the hell the system is supposed to work.

And once you have reliable source for requirements, that is not developers, then deciphering the code is much easier.
I don't think the point of HN is for people to share scientific articles and then for the comments section to be like "I disagree because of my personal experiences."

Where does a conversation that uses personal anecdotes to refute scientific evidence even go? That's not adding anything to the conversation _at all_.

Hacker News is where I go for intelligent discussion. Literally anyone can hop on the internet and say "hmm...I disagree because this one time..." and I tend to stay away from places that foster those kinds of value-less conversations.
WAYN (Where Are You Now) had the same idea. They eventually got bought out by lastminute.com and shut down.

I can chime in regarding some weaknesses of the linked document.

I approach this as a highly technical person, programmer, electronics tinkerer, and someone who has been actively exploring SDR for over a year now, with RPis and a few different SDR hardware and software types.

I've become quite familiar with how "terrestrial" radio works from this period of experimentation, and I think most people who have ever used any form of analogue radio would not have much issue figuring out what's going on just by playing with an SDR and a length of wire as an antenna.

I opened this document expecting some introduction as to how I might get started with radio astronomy. After reading the whole thing through, I'm left rather in the dark about what results I would be seeing if I were to go to the trouble of following the instructions and getting it running;

- the document in parts seems to be a bit back to front. some of the concepts are explained after the instructions to implement them

- it's full of technical jargon which is not explained at all

- it doesn't explain how to interpret any of the captured data beyond "this small bump represents the milky way" - what else, for example could be observed with this equipment, and how does that differ from what's shown?

- it offers no help as to how to figure out what's going on if your results don't match what's shown in the document

- it offers no indication of where to go after carrying out just the one observation shown

- there's clearly some text missing in the part about the analyse scripts and what they are supposed to do

I could go on, but the above would be my main gripes with it; the result of which has left me with a feeling that this has taught me nothing about radio astronomy and no desire to build the antenna or use the software.

EDIT: formatting
I think pull requests are synonymous with code-reviews here.

> you should be thanking hiring managers who turn down candidates who have no regrets about past work at toxic companies

"no regrets" is an important part of this. though it's not quite the precise word i'd like, since your friends could well not regret their choice to stay given the circumstances you outline. what i want is for our culture to fight against antisocial behavior: to encourage the everyday person to give sufficient weight to social impact when making decisions.

"sufficient" is subjective, so as a starting point replace that with "non-zero" and i think we come out ahead: the toxicly selfish (or socially ignorant) are encouraged to behave at least mildly pro-socially, and the friends you mention who tried to leave evidentially gave non-zero weight to their social impacts -- even if they failed -- and would pass such a test.

the world is gray and i don't want a purity test. but that's not a license to ignore our social responsibilities.
I wouldn't go that far. I think there's legitimate value in a digital product that is one-of-a-kind for which the creator is cryptographically prevented from duplicating in an undetectable way. I think there's also value in the idea of some attributes of the instance not being settled or known until the initial transaction completes.

This early phase where NFTs contain URLs to images hosted off-chain is just a situation where an example used to explain the concept ("it's like art") blew up in a completely hilarious way.
