Since before day one. Jefferson supported the former while Hamilton supported the later. This disagreement lead to the first political parties inside of GW's administration. This led to a dire warning in his farewell address:

"However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
I think your interpretation of what he said is out of line.
Certain efforts take a lot of capital. There's no "waiting" - that's just the reality of the situation.
Honestly my rule of thumb with respect to climate is that private individuals’ pollution pales in comparison to upstream industry. I expect the same is true here as well-residential efficiency is probably small potatoes compared to the efficiency opportunities in industry.
It isn't taught that way?
Ah, a typo, an 'l' was missing.

How do you even test for EBV? The GP I asked laughed it off when I was living in Canada basically saying I am already positive and no need to test.
Explain to me why this is not a European led effort? The US is thousands of miles away from this Russian border dispute.

France is always banging on about how Europe should be more respected / have a stronger defense story.

Russia has a much much BIGGER trade relationship with Europe. Where is the EU? They literally are not even in the meetings, it's kind of comical.

So the countries that are a) close, b) have economic relationships that matter etc are silent and the US administration is strutting around saying they are going to put a gun to Russia's head or whatever.

The parallel would be if Russia was going to put a missile system in Cuba, and the US just sat around, and Turkey or some country thousands of miles away started negotiating over it with Russia. Hell no - the US would be front and center in that negotiation

And BTW - this happened - the Cuban missile crisis. And the US WAS front and center there.

Russia seems to have gotten clean away with Crimea. Are there similar underlying divisions in Ukraine? Ie, a russian speaking portion and a more western half? That is exactly the type of thing they are good at exploiting, and the on the ground support for the US in part of the country may not be robust. That's a bad mix for foreign policy intervention.

I'm really hoping Biden has is head screwed on straight for this one.
Ruby 3.2: Proposal to merge WASI based WebAssembly support
I think it would be possible in C++, but it would be something that is more generic than f-strings in Python. For example, `f"Name: {name}, age: {age}"` could maybe expand to `"Name: {}, age: {}", name, age`, so you still need to pass it to some variadic function that then can decide what to do with it, instead of only being able to format strings.
Back then MySQL used the memory engine for implicit temporary tables, and memory engine has no variable width data types. So a "varchar" becomes a "char", and a "varchar(255) charset utf8" becomes an allocation of six times 255 = 1530 bytes (filled with a lot of padding).

Reducing this to 3 bytes is still bad, but only half as bad as before.

Only MySQL 8 introduced innodb typed temporary tables (unlogged, even), so with MySQL 8 this is no longer a problem.
> And random seeds. Make sure this part is at least deterministic by specifying the seed explicitly (and make sure you have that in your log as well).

> Unfortunately, in some cases (e.g. deep learning) your algorithm might not be deterministic anyway, so even in your own environment, you cannot exactly reproduce some result. So make sure it is reliable (e.g. w.r.t. different random seeds).

Publishing the weights of a trained model allows verification (and reuse) of results even before going to the effort of reproducing it. This is especially useful when training the model is prohibitively expensive.
Crimea was a Russian-speaking region of Ukraine before the coup. It's still mainly ethnic-Russian. It was a favourite holiday destination for Russians. It adjoins Russia (well, almost). I'm not aware that Ukraine is fighting Russians in the Crimea; they seem to have surrendered it. I guess they decided that the Crimean population weren't in favour of Ukrainian control, and so it wasn't worth the candle.

What's Denmark got to do with anything? Denmark has zero interests in the Crimea.
The federal laws, much less the constitution, are the bare minimum in the USA. For example, most states have at least one statute saying companies can't fire employees over some forms of political speech.

So while your statement is true, it is not the discussion-stopper that most people seem to think it is.
So the gas stove wasn’t causing elevated NO2 levels, but rather the furnace was? I’m confused as to what the conclusion is. Gas stoves ok, but furnaces not?
That's the independent study part. I wish I could be more help but that research is time and money intensive, and not guaranteed to be fruitful. It also involves review of multiple studies, sometimes several dozen. Then it's about seeing which ones are relevant to an individual's specific genetic mutations.

I'm currently going through dozens of reports from SelfDecode, and that's after massive amounts of work on their end. I think I'm out a few hundred bucks so far, but it is an amazing service. I will soon seek their genetic consultation service, which is about $1k, and their lab testing service.
>Everyone I know is always on the job market

I think that's true for almost anyone--unless they're coming right up on retirement.

But there's a difference between semi-actively looking and occasionally responding to someone reaching out about something that actually looks interesting. Phone calls are rarely a bad idea unless they're complete wastes of time.
It was working for me within an hour or so of you posting it here today.

Be careful there. If you start calling what you're doing 'engineering', people will want you to know statics, dynamics, and thermodynamics.
There's much more to higher education costs than Baumol's cost disease. Public universities have much higher tuition because state subsididies to universities have decreased. In 2005, the state paid 3/4 and students paid 1/4 of the cost of instruction at my university. By 2019, those numbers were reversed, with students paying 3/4 of the cost. Total cost of instruction remained the same within a couple percent over that time period.

On the other side, elite private universities are in ever greater demand, driving higher tuitions. Higher tuition is a signal of their elite status, and such universities want to keep their tuition close to that of their competitors. They use financial aid to produce a sliding scale to collect as much money as they can from those who can afford to pay. On the other side, because of that financial aid, raising tuition an amount x may only produce an increase of income of 1/2 x, because the rest goes to increased financial aid. That factor increases the rate at which they raise tuition.
"Infrared laser energy can pose a hazard to persons on the aircraft"

"affect a flight crew’s ability to control the aircraft"

How would the infrared laser impact the aircraft originating the laser (i assume there's no way the laser would be pointed at the aircraft its mounted on)?
Peter Naur agreed with that which is why it is called "Datalogi" in Denmark and Sweden, his English term Datalogy never really caught on though.
He wrote it in a letter to the editor in 1966 and it has pretty much been used since then here as Naur founded the first Datalogy university faculty a few years later.

This also lead to a strange naming now we have data science as well where it is called "Data videnskab" which is just a literal translation of the English term.

A small kernel written in Nim
I left my job last may. I was a web developer at a branding /marketing agency. The office/people were great, no complaints about the work place at all. But after 5 years (and a similar stretch as an in-house before that), I just felt VERY burnt out. Every day was the same, projects were meaningless, coding wasn't challenging, I felt like an imposter and bored at the same time, I wanted to build my own 'thing' and felt i was running out of time.

I was so checked out at the end, I bombed a big project and was totally stressed over it the entire time. After that, I made a spur-of-the-moment decision while doing a post-mortem with my boss to resign (probably would have been fired anyways).

Haven't worked since May 2021. Worked on my own project for several months, but the burn out is real and I can't seem to get back to a spot where I am 'excited' about anything let alone coding, even for myself. It has definitely taken its toll on my wife and family, and I have started to look for work again although I know this just leads back to burn out feeling and feeling of failure, which I realize I was struggling with before I resigned.

I haven't been able to complete projects - personal, work, home, coding , non-coding - for a long time now and am struggling to figure out why and how to overcome (at this moment I am procrastinating putting up baseboards in our ALMOST finished basement with reading and replying to HN).

In the end, although it was in essence a selfish move that spans many of the options in the poll, I think I quit my job because mentally I needed a break from what I was doing and really don't want to do it for anyone else ever again. The biggest problem with this is that i waited too long to do this and now i can't find the motivation/drive/will/self-dicsipline to even do it for myself now due to extreme burn out.

True. My first reaction to the directive, was that it was rude. Reading more of the context attenuated that impression, but I still think it could have been phrased less ... paternalistically?
I have written a couple of mmap() based time series databases. In my case, these were databases for holding video. For my uses, mmap() has been great. I strongly agree with your comment. Maybe mmap() isn't the greatest, but it has worked for me.

Article seems to be complaining about the typical chapter layout for a reference book on a given programming language. Such books aren't intended to teach coding. The intended audience is those who already understand how to code, in a different language.
Even people earning top 3% of salaries find houses to be expensive and most people will get indebted to buy a house. This is normality nowadays.

Money will always be a concern for the majority.

That said, I agree that once you've bought a house, you can cover your expenses and holidays, who cares about making more money. It's just not a very common position.
If you want everyone to give up wealth you will have to do it at gun point.
Harm to whom? Many things can cause harm to oneself (socially, at least) without harming anyone else. Being odd about your pronouns is one of those things.
> precisely

Madvise is discussed in the paper, and it notes specifically that:

* madvise is not precise

* madvise is... an advice, which the system is completely free to disregard

* madvise is error-prone, providing the wrong hint can have dire consequences
But a lot of people don't really develop severe symptoms either, right?
With interest rates so low these days, are student loans still problematic? Seems like a nice way to defer having to pay while in school, but I'd love to learn more about the issue.

Was the order of the wording of the title deliberately chosen to make people think FedEx wants heat seeking missiles on their planes?
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY is the default in MySQL since 5.7.5.
they dont mention any specifically, but say: "In recent years, in several incidents abroad, civilian aircraft were fired upon by man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS). This has led several companies to design and adapt systems like a laser-based missile-defense system for installation on civilian aircraft, to protect those aircraft against heat-seeking missiles"
Ah! Thank you for clearing that up. Cheers!
there is no pricing info and difficult to understand the business model if not by reading through the comments on here.
They want that extra compensation for whatever they want it for. That's the thing about being paid a fungible - it puts the freedom to decide what to do with it where it belongs.

A publicly traded company I left some years ago had dozens of different little "things" they offered instead of better salary and/or better hours for the salary paid. They're now worth a tenth of what they were when I departed.

And that's the functionality in front and planned to be favored by users. Many older features are available to those who know how to ask for them.

Also, in terms of the geometry, how the system builds models, the feature version is stored with the features, and that version will build models in newer software, until migrated forward by a user.

It's very complex.
> Something fundamental changes in your life when you become debt-free.

This to me is the only legitimate criticism, and it really boils down to risk-reward.

If you're holding cash for say a backup fund, great! That's good security and everyone should aspire to that. But also acknowledge that with 6% inflation, you're actually losing 6% on that backup fund.

Inflation is insipid. You _must_ take risk with your funds just to not lose the value of it.
> I hinted about what my decision would have to be if these accomodations couldn't be made

I don't hint because it's too confusing. I try to very politely offer options, where one option is me looking for another opportunity. It's not as though it's a secret to either party that's always an option.
Some issues with mmap() can be avoided entirely if you have your own buffer pool. Others are easier to handle because they are made explicit and more buffer state is exposed to the program logic. That's the positive side.

The downside is that writing an excellent buffer pool is not trivial, especially if you haven't done it before. There are many cross-cutting design concerns that have to be accounted for. In my experience, an excellent C++ implementation tends to be on the order of 2,000 lines of code -- someone has to write that. It also isn't simple code, the logic is relatively dense and subtle.
Thanks for the pointer! I've been looking for a Grammarly alternative for ages now.

Their product is both ridiculously overpriced for what you get ($30/month, last I looked, for a spelling/grammar checker along the lines of what MS Word provides), a massive privacy/security violation (you have to send everything you type for the service to do its job; no corporate IT with a pulse would be okay with this), and worst of all, it's buggy as hell. Last time I tried it, it refused to work on HN even though this is a bog standard text field, and I spent a ton of time trying to get it to stop correcting things that didn't need corrected.

I have enough money saved up, whereas I don't really need to work for at least 6 months.

This is assuming I don't even try to adjust my spending, push come to shove. I can probably last up to a year without a job.

I remain employed because frankly otherwise I'd be bored.

Once COVID gets under control, I think I'm going to probably live in another country for at least 3 months.
Yes, but if one used that as their moral standard they wouldn't be able to purchase anything made by an international company. It's really easy to bash iPhone on things they do exclusively, but harder on industry practice.
No, I mean literally hoards of barbarians from as far away as East of the Ural mountains.

The Huns, for example, were not neighboring peoples. They were hoards of horse archers that came from, literally, a thousand miles beyond the Roman border to pillage.

Their destruction of the Roman borders is what drove other Germanic tribes to flee west, further destroying Roman stability.
> I actually love the idea of being able to interact with websites via a standard API rather being forced to use web-based UI they provide.

For a while, people were pitching this as Web 2.0. It's also what RSS and podcasts still are.

Unfortunately, most of the websites we visit are revenue-generating and want to control their presentation.
"Heat seeking missile countermeasures" seems pretty obviously about countering heat seeking missiles at least to me.
I wonder if MS is like the EBV version of shingles: if you don't get it early, when you do, it's a much worse disease. Most people pick it up early, but those who manage to avoid it and then get it late are in danger. Another instance of hygiene hypothesis.
I like chatbots when I need to contact the support of a company. The chatbot can do the normal support script, sometimes it works for me, and it makes the conversation much faster if I still need a human because they can read the discussion with the chatbot first and skip the basic questions.

This article needs more work. Comparing Computer Science degrees to progressional programs like medical school or law school shouldn’t be done because they are very different.

It seems like labor stats should be used but I can’t find BLS stats breaking out gender.

These degree stats could be explained by other science degrees becoming less sexist and allowing more women (ie, computer science goes down because other science goes up). Lots of potential reasons.
I'd love to hear a short sample of what this sounds like!

I think the difference between me and some others in this thread is, I think you have the right to make that choice. I think you also have the same right to say, "I put effort into this, and I want to limit its distribution to only those that compensated me for it".
At least part of the adaptive immune system is implemented in the thymus. As an infant, the thymus makes examples of nearly every type of cell in the body and uses it as negative labelled examples to tune the false positive detector so it doesn't identify self as threat. From an information theory perspective, that's pretty extraordinary (you don't normally expect differentiated cells in an organ to act like cells from another organ).

Another part of the adaptive immune system randomly shuffles different regions of genes together to produce enormous diversity (searching for a rare example of something that "works"), then picks the proteins from those genes that work best and distributes them throughout the body.

Pretty amazing stuff.
This comment covered several hot topics.

1. Girls in STEM: society needs to quit telling people "math is hard, tee hee" and quit shopping in the Pink Aisle at the toy store and reinforcing that culture. Buy your kids Lego and Raspberry Pi circuit kits and see what happens.

2. CS is part coding, part science of algorithms, and part software engineering. We have to quit intertwingling all terms into the catchall "CS" bucket because sometimes "how to run excel" gets thrown in there too. Maybe best to drop the term altogether and use more descriptive names for each study.
The train robberies and breakdown of civil order in CA remind me of Atlas Shrugged much more than Snow Crash.
Older ones I guess. According to Stats Canada over 6/10 families own their home.
When I worked at PayPal, some of the execs would say "we don't make money by giving it back to people". These were the execs that worked directly with Theil and Musk and I'm sure they're long gone, but it was definitely Theil and Musk who pushed for these types of policies right from the start (well Musk agreed when he showed up, he wasn't a founder of PayPal despite what he wants you to believe).
I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask someone to come on the show if they feel misinformation is being spread. A simple list of inaccuracies should suffice.
Left to their own desires, it might as well be a cold algorithm:

well, if you are massively underpaid... you will leave just for money
Yeaaaahhhh no. People leave because of money. People are leaving for money. And they would be stupid not to. Because companies have no loyalty. You are a human resource to be used up like any other. Like gasoline. The second they can save a few pennies this quarter you are gone. People used to stay for their pension. No pensions now. You have to fund your own retirement and that takes money.

I run my personal finances like a business. Whenever companies say "we're a family" or "we don't want someone only focused on money" I hear "we only hire morons". I an cognizant of cashflow, taxes, I'm very heavily invested and I take all of it very, very seriously in terms of structure, diversification, opportunity, tax efficiency, profits. Like any business should! Income is my biggest revenue stream and therefore the most important factor for my success a/k/a the success of my business (which is me). If I leave I'm leaving for money.

My relationship with my employer is a business one. I don't understand why managers / HR think it's some kind of therapy one. Your manager wants to talk about feelings? I don't write contracts for fun and friendship, they are for business and employment is a business relationship. I have an actual life that I am living and this business relationship is about money it is absolutely not my whole life and I'm more than happy to take my skills elsewhere for more.

I cannot fathom someone getting so wrapped up in their job as their identity that they literally pay money to the company to do it (by staying in a lower-paying position) but I guess it can happen, e.g. people go work for Apple which notoriously underpays as well as being kind of a poor work environment, but people still flock to them due to brand reputation. I don't have feelings about the companies I work for. I have strong feelings about the code I write, I strive for highest possible quality given the constraints. But who I am is the person who writes that kind of code, not who I write it for.
Yeah, I don't trust the viruses not to do sneaky shit. Not at all.
burnout should definitely be an option here. It was the reason I quit in 2020
