When I was a kid I got an ATARI 600XL I'd type in code for hours into memory just to have it fail due to errors. But I got good at typing at only age 14.

Then a few years later as teenagers do in high school I choose typing class since all my friends did. So I learned more typing unusual for a guy at that time mid 1980s.

Then IRC when I got onto the Internet in the early 1990s. You had to type very fast to get in a jab or a joke before someone else did.

Now I'm in IT and typing is ubiquitous.
I wish there were some kind of master list of things to look out for with regards to health. I know generally "if you suddenly feel consistently worse than before, that's bad", but more specific advice - like what your doctor said about suddenly worsening stamina - would be nice.

It feels like all too often we hear of people getting diagnosed with a few months to live out of the blue... perhaps it's just my inner hypochondriac, but I can't help but worry about my own health every time I read one of those headlines, and wonder if there were really no warning signs or if they were simply ignored out of innocent ignorance/negligence. A mild headache, a dull numbness, suddenly getting winded, how often are serious warning signs ignored until it's too late because of their deceptive mildness making people think "it'll probably go away"? Anyways, congratulations to you on catching something before it happened!
No employer "routinely overpays" for workers without knowing it. It's a strategy, not something you stumble into by accident.

> An employer may find out, when interviewing a person, that they'll need to pay more than the maximum they were forced to advertise - so they can't pay more.

This makes no sense. The interviewee would simply not apply in the first place.
"skilled politician might have been able to nip this in the bud and improve america"

This entire narrative is (re)manufactured to drag targetted electorate to the polls; expect black lives to matter again in 2024 and possibly this year depending on how desperate the midterms get.

That sounds even more like cheating.
The vast number of off brand cola and waterproof fabric products would seem to imply that marketing is the operative force rather than the secret recipe.
And yet, one of the main features to benefit publishers is dead on arrival - for example I get paid by Google AdSense about 300 times more than Brave's Basic Attention Token on a monthly basis. They do a great job at blocking ads. They do a good job at pushing their own crypto ads but their Brave Rewards idea of rewarding publishers based on a monthly contribution from the community never quite worked because, really people want to block ads and are not interested in paying for the content via a wallet that requires you to exchange hard cash for tokens that you can't withdraw and can't control where it goes.

The ITC cant invalidate patents so it was never part of the question

ITC can only look at imports and damages - aka lack of profit split - where they were due

And they found they were due, given the existence of the patent valid during the time in question

Feel free to correct me I’m wrong about the ITC
We do live under a mismanaged monetary system, but the paper fails to elaborate how Bitcoin would be different. The argument that proof of work will become sustainable due to grid decarbonization is a large assumption, but it fails to cover how will Bitcoin become fair given that it is an asset class hoarded by early adopters and the affluent.

Bitcoin is not a traditional investment, it's one of those money for nothing investments that does not create useful work. A useful monetary system must encourage gainful human activities, preferably the right ones, regardless if it's centrally controlled or not. Blowing bubbles is not a gainful human activity.

Bitcoin can't encourage me to build affordable houses, or grow healthier food. The government can, with their regulations and monetary policies. They fail to do so effectively, we were on the market can solve everything (deregulation, a million investors can't be wrong, when the cat's away, the mice will play) train for far too long. But Bitcoin cannot do anything about any of this. It's an asset class, a Ponzi scheme, a dream that things can be different. It is however not an economic system. It's a spam fighting algorithm dressed up as utopia.

You're right that's it's not scalable and that my patience is finite.

But, surprisingly enough, people SHARE information, and the person that has learned that I'm creeped might even volunteer to tell the other person in their own words why it's a problem, and how to solve it.

Also, an office is not hundreds of people in the same root. So I solved my problem quickly and efficiently using the old-way of "speaking about it" to the concerned party instead of escalating to HR/managers who may be tempted to use their giant banhammer simply because they don't know how to peacefully solve the issue using ... words!

Simple problems call for simple solutions.

You make it sound as if liking old movies should be cause for suspicion!
1. Don't have kids

2. Work at one or more MAAAMs for 10-12 years, while living on $40k/yr

3. Retire, maintain lifestyle

If you somehow run out of money, just pull a Michael Jordan or a Jay-Z

Variations include working 3 years on, 2-3 years off, or working 3-4 months per year. The point is that if you're a programmer and you don't have children, you don't have to work very much.
Is that a serious question?

Google have just (in the last hour) announced changes to the behaviour of speaker groups "due to a legal ruling".

It sounds like an absolute nightmare for users, and if I was affected I would be demanding a refund for every affected device, as they clearly are no longer functioning as expected at the time of purchase.
The browser is an operating system now. Chromebooks proved that a long time ago. Every single feature of a native app is implemented in the browser now. There's already multiple different versions of "apps in browsers" (PWAs, SPAs, etc). It's just taking the industry a very long time to come to grips with the fact that they are writing dynamically-downloaded-and-interpreted apps for an operating system in an operating system in a scripting language that uses assembly to implement another virtual machine. They can't come right out and say it because it's ridiculous. But that's what it is.

We failed at making network protocols, so every protocol improvement now goes over HTTPS. We failed at making universal virtual machine-based applications, so every new app is in the browser. We failed to bridge the gaps of client-based, server-based and p2p computing, so we build all 3 into one interface. None of academic computer science seems to reflect this, and we still write most of our code by hand like it's the 1970's. We use fixed-width text-based 80-character terminals embedded in 8K OLED displays. Our telephones have as much processing power, memory and storage as our desktop computers and use batteries that last for 2 days (and are 1/10th the size), but we haven't yet standardized on one way to create new lines in a text file.

We're farmers from the 17th century working at a biotech startup.
This seems like satire, but apparently it's sincere (or at least a scam)? https://news.knowyourmeme.com/news/despite-appearances-crypt...
CompCert is an example of 100% proven correct software. There are other examples out there. Verification tools are getting better every day, making it less costly to prove code correct.
Often the difference between having money and having no money is life or death. So it's common for people to risk life in prison, or even death, as an alternative to having all their possessions confiscated; and that's what Bitcoin is in many cases.
Make it too onerous and good people will not apply or duck out when they find this. In a world where good talent is limited and finding it is requires effectively a marketing department in most companies, having too many tests might be a bad idea. Unless you are paying FAANG salaries.
> that there are really people who are $200K+ better than other devs? I can't really imagine what that level of dev can do much more than those I have worked with who are only paid $50-100K

The 10x myth is real. And having someone with 10x the productivity of another dev isn't a 10x increase in comp, more like 4-5x. So that's an incredible bargain for whoever is smart enough to see it.

I recall a story someone told me a while ago. Software business that did local CoL/prevailing wages. Hired an intern one summer that was just running around in circles around the other, more senior devs. Next summer they tried to get him back but he was already at a large search engine company down in the Bay. Of course, he wouldn't return. That's when they realized a whole class of engineers were completely invisible to them; they lucked out hiring him that summer but there was no chance they could attract someone like him full time.

> I wonder if the perception is distorted by FANNG companies who can afford to simply pay whatever i.e. another 100K for perhaps 10% better candidate just to make sure they get the best?

This has compounding effects. One overachiever stuck with mediocre devs won't be able to do much. But a team of overachievers will ship products like the iPhone. Paying extra for the later make sense if your business model is to ship innovation.
To be clear, the "doing something" that you inferred (essentially, revolution/insurrection) is not what I was talking about. We need something better, but we need to find a way to get there first - so I think we're in agreement on that. I'm no fan of hasty action, and especially no fan of revolutionaries who would create rivers of blood over hypotheticals. But I do still believe that sitting complacently retaining the current capitalist order creates some pretty severe harm every day, and that it will lead to our collective ruin in the not-too-distant future. Therefore, it's imperative that we look for ways to fix that. Maybe all we ever do (and all we ever can do) is slap patches on the symptoms - but I'd like to think we can aim for better than that, given many of the symptoms are pretty bad and can't be readily patched.
There's a whole contingent of engineers that are afraid of giving options to customers, and another that's annoyed at not having options. It's weirdly divisive and we're seeing that play out here.
Don’t know.

We don’t have a national ID system in the U.S. In Wisconsin they mandated voter ID and promptly closed a lot of places to get said IDs. They made it harder for people to get it. In some states Polling places get closed down in poor areas or make things like 1 drop off location per county regardless of population size. Some places put in enough poll workers to make voting fast while limiting the number of poll workers in less desirable locations to make voting slow.

You can get a passport via mail and can file taxes via mail. Selective Service is done by mail. There isn’t any evidence of voter fraud beyond an extremely small number of cases. There are plenty of sources to give you the information on the ways voter suppression is accomplished. They are easy to find.
I do this for all of the CI images I maintain. Additionally, it leaves evidence of the setup in the container itself. Usually I have a couple of these scripts (installing distro-provided deps, building each group of other deps, etc.).

Lenovo’s ThinkPad Z-Series targets – you guessed it – Gen-Z
It allows for minimal disruption to thinking process, close to 90% of the time even when coding is not actively typing, but when typing is subconscious and fast it removes the potential of where it interrupts the thinking process.

This arguments wholly arbitrary. Maybe someone who types slowly will put a lot of thought into each word and create fewer bugs. Who knows? Why argue random claims you pull out of the air?
It doesn't just look fantastic, it really is!
Do you know of a clear explanation how the US prevents Cuba from getting cars?

A lot of Americans haven't owned American cars since the 70s.

Other Caribbean islands import vehicles that are neither American nor even available in the US.

I know nothing about the auto industry, but South America is not that far away, and apart from tariffs, isn't it demonstrably economically viable to ship things long distances over the ocean? Because people do it, that's where all the consumerism comes from.

I would definitely not want to live under that regime. Cubans are generally happy people with good lives but they lack the opportunities for higher ambitions. Corrupt, planned economy is not something to be excited for nor is the being the lowest class in a “classless” society. They are also missing out about the world outside of their borders due to the restrictions on their communications.

It’s just that the western lifestyle is not without its own faults. There’s lessons to be learned about being happy without being full blown consumerists.
Gitea is self hosted. Sourcehut can be but also has an official site. I recommend the latter, heavily, having used both quite heavily.
I love these pens (TUL).
I was also surprised that they weren’t mentioned.
My statement wasn't an absolute, hance the basically allows for room for exceptions. Which 6-7 people really do count as a super tiny minority. So what was your point again?
I’m pretty liberal. I support unions. I generally distrust corporations.

At the same time, if this passes, my company will just stop hiring in New York. It’s not worth the risk of getting sued by every person who gets an offer lower than the maximum.
I second that. It has a limited feature set, which makes you focus on what matters. It is not like Jira that buries you in tons of options and information.

Definitely give GitHub projects a go.
I like programming, I hate programming on legacy software with very slow build times and odd design decisions.

Bonus if the task is purely debugging, like “get this to load faster” instead of making new features. Probably why a lot of apps get bloated with feature creep.
Programming to me is a system of thought. You can be a developer with a boring job, or a cool job, or not a developer at all, but if you have a fundamental understanding of programming (either having worked in software, postgraduate CS or related fields, I want to differentiate what I'm talking about from some kind of learn to code course) you have a powerful tool that can help you in any career.

Understanding computer science is in some sense like a liberal arts degree. Even if your job is not writing essays, you still have ways of thinking and understanding the world that help you in whatever you do.

Maybe I read too much into the tweet. But I think programming is a valuable skill no matter what you're career is

Coke's secret is marketing, and to a lesser extent being able to use coca leaves due to historical reasons.
Thats a disappointing trend. I personally like github for project management explicitly because it offers more features and options (and they are continuing to improve it)

So here it is.
On a similar note: I've owned a 2007 Acura and lived in a state that doesn't observe DST. I'd have to to remember to turn DST on or off whenever I drove out of state. Same problem on my father's 2016 Honda as well.

On the flip side, my Uconnect vehicles both handle going between states with and without DST just fine.
I think OP meant incompetent when it comes to management, not technical skills. And I'd agree based on your description of how he handled what in reality is a very minor setback for a project.
Yes though critically if you did want to actually write an AI capable of beating good players deep learning would probably be important. It has successfully been used to win at starcraft and dota now right?

> The corollary to random consumer goods being in constant shortages is that other things are much more “affordable” than they’d be in a market economy.

No way for their wealth, to begin with, and why you should choose how people choose? They are animals?

Everything that is cheaper than its possible price is literally being paid by someone, with their labour or by others. Free things, literally, do not exist. And things below real price, do not exist. For that to exist someone along the way has to pay it with time or money or forced by slavery. Please keep in mind this every time someone talks about free. Free means "someone else pays". And someone else pays is as selfish and inconsiderate as if I went to you and I demanded from you an arbitrary effort on the basis that you owe me something for nothing.
I agree my second example was poor. The intention was "should have" would be used when you had an optional, not imperative, future choice. "If you thought something was wrong, you should have (implicit or explicit) felt free to call me and escalate it." And (upon reflection) I don't think it really expresses that at all.

I still feel like "If you needed a mental health day yesterday you should have taken one" can be empowering more than "If you need a mental health day in the future, take one", for the same reason that the middle example is poor. It shifts agency (and blame in the second example) to the person you are talking to. But I no longer even feel as confident in that example either, and would welcome pushback or not on the point.

Thanks for pointing it out. I'll try to be more aware of that going forward.

I have some interesting use cases with adding activitypub support to allow an app I built[1] to communicate across instances. Would adding activitypub support allow it to integrate easier with other activitypub apps too? Thinking Nextcloud etc. Can it replace OAuth possibly?

> is there some kind of human nature that is going to keep us grinding away no matter what we invent?

I once read a commenter here on HN claim that any increase in productivity is inevitably 'eaten up' by an increase in debt/credit and that this is why we don't see a corresponding decrease in time spent working. I think that is very insightful.
I am skeptical as well, the article merely presents a theory but no evidence is presented at all.
> Also, there are two different types of shops and businesses: Locals only shops, locals only restaurants, locals only buses

This reminds me of the first MacDonald’s in Moscow near Pushkinskaya Square. I remember there being a separate section downstairs for tourists/people from away. However this is a childhood memory, and perhaps I’m not remembering correctly?
While you may be correct, I am not sure your pedantry affects my point.
The point here is that autistic people who prefer this term don’t think it has anything to do with mental health or disease, and do think it’s a fundamental aspect of who they are, which can’t be separated.

It's the activists that are causing the problems in Argentina.
Colorado has already passed this. There’s been some fallout, people have reported job postings that say “remote anywhere except Colorado” but it’s hardly been catastrophic for their job market. NYC is an even bigger draw than Denver.
https://www.bbrfoundation.org/blog/homelessness-and-mental-i...

> Most researchers agree that the connection between homelessness and mental illness is a complicated, two-way relationship. An individual’s mental illness may lead to cognitive and behavioral problems that make it difficult to earn a stable income or to carry out daily activities in ways that encourage stable housing. Several studies have shown, however, that individuals with mental illnesses often find themselves homeless primarily as the result of poverty and a lack of low-income housing.

That was a summary article that lists some sources at the bottom.

Aside from the research, it makes intuitive sense to me as well. Even high severity mental illness is not exclusive or close to exclusive to homeless populations. For every mental illness you find in a homeless person, you can usually find a non-homeless person who has managed it with social support and/or medication. It doesn't make sense to portray homelessness as a causal outcome of mental illness that won't be affected by social & economic policy.
How likely do you think that is? Have you been sued when an employee finds out a coworker with the same title earns more than them?
