If I'm understanding you right, I think I had equal confidence in the opposite direction. In my mind, responses always flow downstream. It's obviously not just you, but at this point I think the right conclusion is the concept is too conflicted to be used unless one is speaking to a small group who has already agreed on a local definition.

What I'm not sure yet is whether the terminology is equally conflicted when talking about open-source projects. If one project depends on another, do we agree that the dependency is downstream of the original? That is, does everyone still agree that the official Linux Kernel is upstream of all Linux distributions? Or do some people view the patches to the kernel as being sent downstream?
I can attest to having seen papers on this, but am not able to track them down right now. The theory is not dissimilar to rubber ducking- using your brain to work in the problem space- which helps transition your mental model to solution domain.

Like you and others this experience with paper has also been my experience for decades. Perhaps of interest is that I transitioned from using paper to a Remarkable tablet, which is surprisingly great from a writing experience perspective, but which is deficient in the "paging through" experience that is so important with paper. Its still preferable to me to work digitally, and to unify around a device I can read on, and I am able to use it to work in problem domain reasonably effectively.

HTH.
The “who is looking to be hired?” threads on HN has worked well for me.
To position and price yourself: I’d start with looking on UpWork or similar platforms in your geo and position yourself competitively (I checked on Malt, a french Upwork alternative).
There are also web implementations like https://www.calormen.com/jslogo/ or https://turtleacademy.com/ which kids love to play with (and I'll admit is fun for us adults too!) The fern example in particular is surprisingly beautiful.
Ironically, using the phrase "virtue signaling" has itself become a form of virtue signaling to the crowd reading Reason and others around here who see it as a negative.

This is like the phrase "politically correct", which started as a neutral term for labeling language that was (or wasn't) up to date with our aspirational norms. I don't think I've ever heard anyone use the phrase except with contempt.
No, it's fine. I assumed that you meant that olx.ro was a scam or something. Only after I visited immobiliare.ro did I realize the difference in quality between their offerings.
> To attack classic OTP, you’d brute force the keyspace. Since we’re XORing, whatever we encode the key as, it’s fundamentally being used in binary to XOR between plaintext and ciphertext. So your key is a binary blob the same length as the ciphertext. You keep trying and looking for what seems to be viable plaintext. You never get “all English strings of the given length”, because you’re not brute forcing the output, you’re brute forcing the key, which isn’t necessarily English.

If your key for OTP is uniform random bits without any additional encoding, and of the same length as the plaintext, then won't you enumerate all possible messages of the given length? E.g., "abcdef" and "123456" are indistinguishable when encrypted without knowing the key because there exist keys that map each string to the same ciphertext.
> Colour lasers remain quite expensive and usually don't include the extra scanner which is handy to have at times.

Looking around it seems like most brands have variants of the cheaper models that also have scanners. The last time I bought a laser printer, both color and black and white, it was a simple choice to have a scanner or not. And $330 at office depot is only 50% more than an inkjet.

But the JWST will be returning some spectacular images: it's a telescope.

That's why I don't understand this debate. You'll be getting lots of spectacular images from the earliest moments of the universe. Is that clear? We are getting a time machine here. We're just not getting selfies.

What if the public funded it and tolerated
the cost overruns

OK. Let's assume unlimited budget. The public (or, at least, Congress) has already tolerated plenty of them on this project. So that's a very reasonable "what if."

You'd still face the hard payload constraints of the launch vehicle itself. Every kilogram and centimeter devoted to this camera system (and the associated power and shielding requirements) would represent kilograms and centimeters that would need to be chopped elsewhere. You'd need to compromise or eliminate other aspects of the spacecraft, and/or tolerate the increased complexity and risk resulting from the inclusion of a zero-science-value selfie camera.

I would expect HN readers, of all folks, to be really familiar with the concept of the harsh realities of engineering solutions for resource-constrained environments.

Anyway, the armchair spacecraft designers among us clamoring for a selfie camera might as well go full armchair spacecraft designer. Tell us which of the JWST's instruments you would have compromised or scrapped in order to accommodate the selfie camera.

> What happens when you are robbed by someone, shot, and your wallet is stolen, you even pass out from the shock and blood loss.

You are at this point reliant on the charity (read: voluntary) of others. Even if you were identified and your insurance accepted, the paramedics or doctors can just refuse to do their jobs, for whatever reason, and face only professional consequences. You are in no way guaranteed to be treated.

Also, the insured could demand coverage for this case from their providers, with liability to their estate if they are not treated. This would force insurers to negotiate with hospitals to treat these patients rather than incur the liability.

> don't deserve to die

What do you mean "don't deserve?". If you're laying shot in the street, then clearly you're going to die soon without lots of outside intervention. This is your lot. Insurance isn't there to provide a guarantee of some outcome, it's there to reimburse as best it can after the fact.

> don't like the instability that comes from a lack of welfare state

Doing what "people like" isn't the same as being ethical.

> the best thing for me to do is to steal from someone

That depends on the risk/reward balance between stealing and figuring out how to be productive. If the punishment for robbery is severe, then chances are you'll figure out how to be useful to someone before resorting to it.

> Is coercion voluntary

Yes? If your grandmother offers you a cup of tea, insists, and will be offended if you don't take it, does that make it involuntary? She's clearly coercing you.

> why isn't it violent to withholding food they need to live

Everyone needs inputs to live, and everyone is born without the means to provide them for themselves. Therefore everyone must, at some point, enter into a negotiation with those who possess what they need. Absent any law and order, these negotiations often turn violent. All we've any right to do is make some rules around the negotiations, not prescribe universal cooperation.
The 'key word' in your language that is a bit off is 'leadership'.

Yes, usually in a hierarchy, 'leaders' get paid more.

But consultants and contractors are not hired for 'leadership' roles, so I'm a bit confused by that.

I started a new project and our DB guy was young, we were unsure of ourselves, so we hired some Oracle expert to help with that and they were expensive. So 1 or 2 days consulting on our project.

It could have been $1K an hour for all I know, it doesn't matter.

For short bits of key insight, high rates are not uncommon.

Corporate Lawyers will charge $1K/hour - but even then that's going to go to their interns, associates, overhead as well - it's a 'business' not just a person.

Also note that those rates tend to grow exponentially pas a certain point: someone who specializes in international law for mining and gas, who is needed 'right now' because of a flare up between SNC Lavalin and the Peruvian government, can bill $10K/hour etc..

There actually isn't that much of a difference between 'consulting' and 'contracting' but the later usually implies 'work' as opposed to 'expertise'.

If you are providing very specific knowledge that the company really needs to move forward, and the terms are fairly clear that they need it, then you can start billing much higher than contract rates. The bigger the influence (i.e. if it's affecting a giant, $100M contract), then the bigger the rate.

But for 'general leadership' ... that's a much harder thing to put into dollars.
Here's a hot take that most people here won't agree with but the query commands for sorting is hard to use because it forces me to remember them. If I forget, I have to reread the paragraph which slows me down.

This is bad UX because it's increasing my cognitive load to use the interface instead of reducing it. It's much better to offer toggle buttons for sorting.

It's not standard because you can just use filters.

Keep in mind the filters have to be able to filter the dead pathogens anyway (usually same size) or else you are breathing them, which isn't great either. Better than live ones for sure, but not great.

As for UV, you can add it to either residential or commercial easily (some preschools and schools I've visited added them in the past year). It doesn't make sense to install in every room, as you say.

My extended family has always had a ton of cats, and I don’t remember the last one that was seriously ill without it being due to old age. Most of them were “outdoor cats” in a small country town.

Is there something in modern cats’ diet / habits that makes them more susceptible to disease? These concerns read like hypochondria, coming from this background.
If you set aside the anti-anti-Bradford Pear rhetoric this is a pretty interesting article. If we don't treat "non-native invasive" species as enemies in a total war (a war we are almost certainly doomed to lose) then there are ways to take advantage of them, as the article describes towards the end.

To me the longer-term question of how to (re-)establish a kind of equilibrium between natural evolution and humanity's interactions with it is fascinating.

The late E.O. Wilson suggested setting aside half the Earth for natural systems ( https://www.half-earthproject.org/ ) which FWIW seems like a good idea to me, at least in theory (putting it into practice seems, uh, tricky though.)

It seems to me that we're going to need to garden much of the Earth one way or another.

> In thinktype, you write and search using the same field

For my use I wouldn't care about search much. Most of what I write is one-time information like a phone number or some shopping list. Sometimes it's a thought that I just want out there but it has no value beyond that moment. And if an idea can be used in some of my projects or become a seed for one, I'd want to catalogue it using a structured app like Evernote or Standard Notes or any other.

I've always considered songwriting to be an independent skill playing music. Some musicians are just so good at writing songs that it almost doesn't matter whether or not they're above average in their musicianship. I don't think anyone would rate Bob Dylan as an exceptional singer or guitarist, but he's unquestionably one of the most prolific musicians of the 20th century. I'm probably an even worse singer and guitarist than Dylan, but if I could write something as good as Like a Rolling Stone, there's no question I would try to perform it myself and have it released before giving the song to someone else.
One mitigation against this is to specify on the target hosts where that keys are valid from. One could even be as liberal as to give the entire CIDR block of their ISP or Corporate IP CIDR block or preferably use a VPN network. The key will not be valid for anyone not in the specified networks or IP's separated by commas.

e.g. using my tinc VPN mesh

grep keys /etc/ssh/sshd_config

You say that you have been with a number of startups, and each time it seems like your expectation of what the work at a startup _should_ be like clashes with reality. I have a feeling that this clash plays a big part in your frustration.

It can be helpful to make hidden expectations explicit, and thus allow for a reality check.

So, in your opinion, what is the ideal startup like?

Yeah, and it’s not pedantic. I hope a blog post nowadays points newcomers to an example decision tree for use-cases. Though we should hold this blog post to its own standards; it’s not intended to be best-practices.
Finding your first client is without doubt the hardest part. After that you’ll have more confidence, a reference, and possibly some word of mouth running ahead of you.

A frequent recommendation I’ve heard is to make your current employer your first client. I’ve never been in a position to pull that off, but can at least verify that it’s not the _only_ way to start. I’ve had leads off of Craigslist, though haven’t closed them. I’ve had successful matches from the monthly HN Freelancer thread. Where most of my client contacts have started, though, is conversations within my network—build initially from W2 jobs and helping run a programming language meetup, and then building atop engagements with clients and agencies.

Zach Burt’s “The Software Engineer’s Guide to Freelance Consulting” (https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/title/software-engineer...) is a pretty good reference; there should be ebook copies out there for a reasonable price.
That would treat the ducted air but it wouldn't treat the air already in the room. And if the air is being recycled, it would still linger for some bounded time before being pumped back through treatment.

Having the UV in the room with the people means it treats every breath immediately.
Looks like Tesla wants to extract as much value as they can out of the remaining fools who aren’t informed about the long term capabilities of these FSD packages.
So far my phones tend to last until the screens break or the batteries give out. On one occasion I upgraded because a particular OS version level supports a la carte app permissions. I'd be really surprised if an Apple phone would have been cheaper than a small handful of cheap phones over the span of 20 years. To be fair I could have bought used / refurb iPhones. And it looks like my plan offers a new iPhone SE for around $300 when all is said and done.

Now had I been really smart, I should have invested the savings in Apple stock ;-)

The Boots theory sounds clever, but of course would need to be supported by evidence.
The M1 notebooks only support one single external monitor officially. The M1 Pro/Max machines support more than one external monitor.

But if you buy a dock that supports "DisplayLink" (which works via USB) it is possible to use more than one external monitor even on M1 devices. I'm using an M1 MacBook Air at home and an M1 MacBook Pro for work, and have an ICY BOX/Plugable 4k/60 DisplayLink dock to use them with an LG 5K and another 1440p monitor. Works fine.
> As for Signal it’s at least open source, but there’s no way to check that the client I’m using, or my friend is using, actually matches that source code.

It doesn't matter. Your keyboard isn't opensource and it can transmit all typing.
If the light emitted by the LEDs is "really close" to the mercury light, it should be just as carcinogenic.

I also seriously doubt that the LEDs are based on silicon since indirect bandgap semiconductors make horribly inefficient light sources. Also the bandgap of silicon is somewhere in the near infrared.

Frequency doubling requires exteremely high intensites that are usually only reached by focussed laser beams. I don't see how one could use it in a LED.

I don't understand why Emacs's features aren't exposed via context menus

Mainly I think it is a matter of efficiency...on the implementation side. I mean the hard part about learning something like org-mode (or emacs itself) is conceptual not key bindings.

It's this way because org-mode (or emacs itself) is a powerful tool that users use for decades. The tooling is intended to reward expertise and experience. No amount of context menus will change the fact that the tools are deep and conceptual mastery will take more than a few hours (never mind the thirty seconds the typical app has to engage the user).

Org-mode was written for it's author's use. It was written to get things done. Easy onboarding and massive investment in graphical UI for non-experts wouldn't do that. It requires work to learn. That's true of anything hard.

It's not that I don't sympathize...though it probably can be interpreted that way. It's that using emacs (and org-mode) is analogous to playing the piano, not playing the stereo.

Finally, I while I get the appeal of things like spacemacs, I think it's mostly a distraction. The documentation and tooling is by it's nature derivative...it is by it's nature extra work. Even worse it's extra work that's driven by ideology. Worser still, it's extra work driven by the ideology of Vim versus Emacs. And worst of all, it's rational is emacs-is-too-hard-to-learn.

Emacs is hard to learn, but not too hard. It's harder to learn than a sixteen week college course. But that's most things in the working world.
The most important chapter would be on how to benchmark a search engine.

And I would expect coverage of NLP techniques.

Of course, a search engine makes use of distributed computing techniques, so I'd also expect a volume on that topic :)
“Just” doesn’t mean what you seem to think it does. Schools have very little margin for soaking up absence at that scale. If one out of five teachers are out, the kids will not be doing the learning which is the stated justification for not keeping them safe at home. Teaching is hard work, not hitting play on a video, and it requires time to prepare in addition to classroom time – teachers don’t call in sick for fun, it actually creates more work for them since they still need to create the lessons and deal with the impact on their work when they’re back, and in many districts a decline in test scores will cost them money (in some, so does taking a sick day).

School administrators are extremely busy with all of the extra work they’ve been given, and if they’re babysitting students that work (often required by law) will not happen.
It doesn’t seem like your use of the word “failing” is helpful.

You should be going to senior devs and telling them that you are finding it surprisingly difficult to get traction, and that you could really use some guidance and mentoring to make the team as effective as possible. And you should bring them a specific plan that they can critique and provide you feedback on. Pick one PR, write out a plan to get it merged, and ask them to review your plan.

Maybe they will tell you that you picked a bad area to focus on, because Bob is really particular about that code and he only approves changes by senior engineers - then ask the mentor what a better area to focus on is.

Maybe they will say the area is good, but your plan is all wrong. Then ask them how you can improve the plan.

Maybe they will say you are crazy if you expect to be be touching the code base in your first year. Then ask what you should focus on to best contribute.

Then schedule regular follow ups to review how your plan is working out. Come prepared to discuss what you accomplished, and what you haven’t been able to accomplish.

Sure. And he always had that opportunity. Both in general and specifically with this client when they started meeting in person. He chose to bill through Upwork and then specifically declined to use the time-tracking software under which they would cover fraud.

I get that this was a surprising outcome for him, and I feel bad for him. But as a business consultant working specifically in fintech, I don't feel very bad for him. Looking at the dates, I also suspect he isn't telling us about the fraudulent payments he did get to pocket.

That’s just flat out untrue, though. These views were widely aired at the time. It’s revisionist history to say they were censored. The government made a choice they didn’t agree with but that doesn’t mean they were silenced.
