>Certainly there are tradespeople who make a ton of money, but usually they make less than degree holders.

I wonder how much of this isn't also driven by the reduction in private union membership. I've worked white collar jobs in organizations with strong unions and I'm willing to bet the blue collar workers were probably almost surely, on average, more than the average white collar workers elsewhere. And when I worked in areas with weak union membership, the converse was true.

The difficulty in the former was that it was hard to get into the union, but once you did, you were probably making many multiples of the average household income for the locale.
This is why the humble bundle is still important.

Their Humble choice prioritizes games which are actually a full package. Very rarely there might be some DLC, but normally their isn't.

I absolutely love the humble originals, usually these are hour-long bite-size experiences. Experiences. I tend to enjoy a good mix of 80 hour epic RPGs, and games I can finish in one sitting.
Why aren't they working on making a laptop in-house? This seems like a massive diversion and waste of time...
They can't do it like that directly, but they have been undercutting Firefox for years. For a long time when you searched Google from Firefox it would tell you to download Chrome.
Cool game, works nicely on my android phone.

One thing that you could improve is add user-select:none to the page. Quickly tapping the document did select the counter text and opened a google mini popup, distracting from the game.

Well done!

So what is the right fee for access to iOS users, and in turn, paying for iOS development itself? This isn't just a transactional payment system, it's an end-to-end payment platform designed to take high-value customers and turn them into sales with minimal friction. iOS is that system, not just IAP.
No that’s not correct. Venmo is not forcing password auth, it’s banks not implementing the OAuth flow that causes this. I just went through with OAuth in Venmo with my bank (Capital One). They also offer traditional (deposit 50 cents and validate the amount) work flow too, they’re not forcing the Plaid model at all.
I installed Plausible a few hours ago on my VPS. The installation process when very smooth and it gives me the data I'm interested in. I really did not want to use Google Analytics, and since I have some capacity left on my server, Plausible seemed like a good bet.
I posted this article and it's an issue I became aware of because of my personal connection. I know it is a lot bigger than the suffering I've felt.

Although I think the experience of ordinary men is invisible and often systematically erased (such as by people like the one you are replying to) I am not going to say that the paper omits the impact that sexual abuse has on partners because the kind of longitudinal study that paper is doing is stupendously difficult. (Read it and they'll tell you why!)

Anything that hurts one person's mental health has an extended effect on the community. If a sexual abuse victim flakes out at work because of mental health issues that hurts their employer. She might well cause suffering to her female friends. I've also seen that a woman's ability to enjoy pleasure in her own body or with other woman as a lesbian can also be impaired because of sexual abuse.

A study like that can only scratch at the surface of what a crime like that does to society as a whole.
Sure, maybe it does not literally send a substituted SQL string, but in order to send the parameters "separately" from the query, do they not still eventually get concatenated into a single binary string of some form to be sent across the wire? In spirit I think the same arguments apply there, it's just that the format of the data is not strictly SQL. It's actually the wire format of the database protocol.
Canonical was really onto something very good with Unity, but Gnome3 is a UX disaster. Every single app from Nautilus to Gedit became harder to use. And it has lots of empty bars wasting space everywhere.

Deakins has also said the same thing about Skyfall — that for the most part what we see on screen is what he saw from behind the camera. And Skyfall also has scenes of super bright colours, although those bright saturated scenes do have a limited palette.

There was a recent comparison of the very different look between Deakins’ Skyfall and Van Hoytema’s Spectre.

I understand. I worry that the more you lower the false positive (accepted to college but uncapable), the greater you raise the false negative (denied college path but capable).

I very much appreciated the way my public college worked. Very few who started electrical engineering finished. But they would accept damn near anyone. The few that survived had the world in their pocket.

>A lot of engineering college programs in the US would be closer to a German technical school than a German college.

Must depend on the college. My experience, as well as most my peers, was that engineering was about 60% raw mathematics. There was so much math, I only use a small fraction of it today. Maybe 10% of the engineering degree was practical labs. The engineering technology programs are maybe what you're thinking of? They flip those numbers on their head. It's hard for me to imagine any 4 year degree except mathematics and physics having more math than engineering programs I'm familiar with.
Even with virtual credit cards, companies can still charge you and anything unpaid can just go to collections.
I know we developers love our languages.

But I'm always skeptical when underlying language choice is featured prominently as a selling point for any new project.

It tells me, this is a technology-first, users-second enthusiast project.

And thus, I'll be surprised if it tackles the deepest issues users need solved.

That doesn't mean it isn't cool as a proof of concept for a new or popular language.

It just makes me question to what extent it's going to solve the deepest problems with similar or older projects it is competing against.
I'm referring to plain old four dimensional space [1], which is just 3d space with another orthogonal axis. Same as 3d is to 2d space. If a creature existed in a 2d world, say on a piece of paper, they would never perceive another 2d world, another piece of paper, one inch above theirs, in the direction of the third third dimension. The same rules apply for two 3d spaces separated by a distance in the fourth dimension. The thought was that gravity bleeds through this higher-dimensional separation.

Show HN: Tensorpedia – Using GPT-2 to synthesize Wikipedia articles
Hey HN! I've been lurking for a while now and I've finally created something that I feel is worth sharing.

I've called this project "Tensorpedia." At its core, Tensorpedia takes in a title and utilizes it as a prompt for GPT-2 to synthesize the introductory part of a Wikipedia article. The machine learning stuff is written using a wonderful library called aitextgen [0], using Wikipedia's "Vital Articles" as a data set [1]. The server is written in Node, and it uses Redis as an article cache. If you want to read my article about it (for some reason), you can check it out here [2].

I created this project to get more experience with server technologies. While I wouldn't say it's a complicated application, I learned quite a lot from it.

Additionally, as I was inspired by all of those this-x-doesn't-exist projects from a while back, this project is mostly for fun. As such, I don't know how much practical use it has, but I've generated some pretty hilarious articles from it.

I doubt we will be in that situation, because then by definition all development will stop, and programming education will also stop. There will always be hardware or systems that you can develop on.

Now what may happen (and is already happening in the case of mobile devices) is that rental content (streaming services, etc) will only play if they are on "trusted" hardware. So you can have a development environment, but good luck trying to watch Hulu on it. And the development-capable devices will be more expensive due to lower sales (most people would rather purchase hardware that can access the services they want).
OpenGL vs. Direct3D
I think it's partly that when you ask for a 50% pay raise a year in theyre probably afraid you may tell all your colleagues who are your friends and who know your productivity and then everybody's asking for a pay raise.

Less risk of that happening if you are a fresh face starting out with 50% more. You probably wont share and plus, who knows what kind of hot shot you are?

Plus, your leverage at the point where you decide to take the job or not is at its highest. They'll infer that walking away is much easier for you than it is when you've spent 2 years somewhere and you're settled.

Interesting, I'd have listed last of us part 2 as an example of a great game without microtransactions.

Lots of Sony first party IP is along the same lines - God of War, Horizon, etc - probably because they're invested in the console ecosystem rather than total revenue from individual titles at the expense of others.

Nothing is stopping the 'Shop' app or Amazon app from being used for any and all third-party (or fourth party, in this case) payments, as long as they're not selling purely digital goods.

> But ultimately the only thing I can truly rely on, that is protected by law, is compensation.

In some countries, the working time is also protected by law, hence your hourly wage as well, which makes it easier to compare offers. Too many people focus on the TC without realizing that working 2x the time for 1.5x the pay is often not worth it.
So people should push Mozilla to add an about:config flag to turn it off, if it doesn't already exist. The solution is much simpler than demanding that Mozilla completely stop trying to find a way to reduce dependence on Google.

Could you share your config? I also use sway but to me it seems like behind the statement "I have configured my system the way I like it" there is quite a lot of configuration. Also when saying "My entire configuration is in a single file", do you also include things that are normally configured in a DE settings app, like wifi, disk auto mounting, bluetooth connections, sound settings/volumes, display configurations, etc?

I like (and use everyday) sway and I like using WM's as a part of puzzling together a system. I just don't think you are comparing apples to apples here.
With these not-very-open-source licenses I'm glad when they give them names that are easy to filter out. "Shared" and "Business" are good terms to filter on, but it seems "Public License" is one as well. If it says "Public License" I know I'm not going to like it, whether it's an OSI-approved ones like the GPL, EPL, MPL, LGPL, AGPL, or this one which isn't OSI-approved and doesn't meet the OSD.
Biostatisticians Calculated Odds of CV Evolving Naturally to Be 1 in 13B
Indeed, but maintaining software that is a core part of your business is a very different game than supporting (complex) internal tooling. They don't bring revenue, are a time/money sink and not many companies can spare the resources to do it properly.

Anedoctal experience: a company I used to work for had all the core stack developed inhouse: programming language (yeah), compiler, database, etc. No one worked on it apart from the founder and a couple of other engineer that were no longer there.

A few years down the line a big client asked if we were able to integrate our software with their PLC and this had to be developed from scratch, as it wasn't in the scope of the programming language. The quote sent to them was in the six figures and up to 2 years for it to be ready. Every major programming language has a library that does this. Eventually the company lost the client.
Because enforcement hasn't come for them (yet). No real other reason.

83(b) Company Repurchase Restriction
I received an 83(b) form from a company I'm doing work with in exchange for shares. The shares/property were transferred on 1/3/2022. In the 83(b) form they included a restriction as follows:

4. The property is subject to the following restrictions: The company may repurchase at cost all or a portion of the shares upon termination of employment or services of the Taxpayer.

Am I reading this correctly that this is a non-terminating clawback whereas they could basically state at any time that I no longer provide them services and they could force me to sell those shares at cost?
I agree, bucketing all of those experiences together seems extremely misleading.

As a woman who likes trades like manual work as hobby - a lot of those do actually depends on physical strength. At hobby level it does not matter that much, but to achieve actual commercial productivity is simply much harder without all those muscles.
I’m not sure who would rely on cops in a situation like that, considering I’ve had remarkably similar things happen (or worse, like direct assault of a coworker) and the cops showed up maybe about half the time and usually hours and hours later. 4 hours minimum, to respond to a violent drunk person throwing racks of glassware at staff and punching a bartender. Then they showed up, said there was nothing they could do but take a statement, and left. Didn’t want to see the security footage, didn’t care that we had the guys name (and credit card) since we took his card to open a tab. This was far from the only time we “needed” police and they didn’t even do the bare minimum.
Rightly or wrongly its not about disservice to a victim turning up for jury duty its about disservice to the accused. Imagine if you were wrongly prosecuted for for abuse, found guilty and then discovered that three members of the jury had themselves suffered the same abuse you were accused of, you'd immediately look for a re-trial.
This is my thing.

I have machines where I run Alpine with sway customized. I have had machines where I've run without a DE at all. I've customized things that weren't meant to be, and not customized things that were.

But if I want something where I can walk up to any somewhat modern machine (currently typing this on an old Alienware running pop), and install an OS that gives me an i3-like environment with no extra work? Pop is fantastic. There are things that I would do differently. But they're minor and being able to just go is worth a lot.

My cousin seemed to have it worked out. Do as many relevant AP classes for credit as possible, finish the first two years worth of credits at a community college for $cheap and then transfer to a brand-name school for the final part.

My general impression is "has a degree with min GPA x.y" is a HR check-box that is necessary to get past an initial screen for a lot of large company roles. After you've got a couple of years experience no-one on the interview panel likely cares about the school you went to (and if they do, maybe give that firm a miss) compared to what you've done in the past 3 years.
Maybe "many hands make light labor?" Though that one seems more specific/literal than the Dutch version.

The phrase "misery loves company" makes me think of this Calvin and Hobbes strip, so I guess it has cynical connotations for me:

Dutch DPA: “Use of Google Analytics will soon likely not be allowed”
I think "tools that build tools" is a very different ecosystem from most others. When you pull in something like e.g. LLVM, you're not really having to deal with any of that. It's a clean bolt-in API, freely-licensed, no weird integration points, with many active users who've sanded off any weird expectations.

I think the difference is that something like log4j has no pressure to be "the least power it can while doing the biggest job it can" — it has mostly enterprise customers who want the power, but don't care about the scope creep. Something like LLVM, on the other hand, has both big enterprise use-cases, and tiny embedded use-cases, with big players invested in both. So its size and scope have been much more well-considered, with any components that do something other than "compile these data structures representing inputs, into these other data structures representing outputs" having been long factored out into additional "plugin" sort of downstream-dependency libs.

Section 3.6. "Family background" of the pdf you linked to discusses the impact that parent's educational attainment has on how much money someone earns as a result of going to college, not whether they attend college. It's not used as a control in a way that's relevant to this discussion.

Do you have another study?

Either way, it's a fact that parental income is the best predictor of future income. Not educational attainment.
How much more cases like this do we need to switch to a decentralized (either via blockchain, torrent, IPFS or something else) so that no one can stop freedom to shre code anymore?
