Here's an example. Maybe it only applies in the US, but Japan has something even more stringent.

If you live/work in a building with several floors, and a stairwell, go down the stairwell, until you get to the ground floor.

If the building has a basement, there will be a door to the basement, and it will be facing the stairwell, and will open inward (towards the stairwell). The ground floor (at least), will have a "panic bar," to unlatch it (this is a horizontal bar, at waist level, on average-sized people, that can be pushed, to unlatch the door, and push it open). The door will also open outward (away from the stairwell).

This is because of government regulations. Developers would not choose to do this, if given a choice. It's not cheap. I believe that some older buildings may be "grandfathered in," where they might not have to do it.

The same goes for lighted exit signs.

If they didn't have this, a lot of people would die in fires and emergencies. Before these types of regulations, there were constant stories about dozens of people dying in workplace fires. It still happens, in some places.
Doesn't OnShape actually run client-side?
This would lead to marginal improvements, but wouldn't change the fundamental scaling issues with renewables and storage.
I think people are missing the main point here. It's not about problem solving.

From my experience people that are good programmers are people that like to tinker with things. The logical part of programming can be learned by any intelligent person reasonably fast. It's not about variables, statements, expressions, ifs, loops etc. It's about having a conversation with the machine and trying things out. The tools, languages, frameworks are just extensions of this.

Computers and the way they work are fundamentally alien to our human way of thinking about things. You need patience and dedication. One approach might work for person A, but not for person B. At the end with time just like everything else in life you forge a meaningful "relationship" where you understand each other and can work together with the machine.
The shift is forcing company's to compete with compensation and benefits for labor and talent. I don't think the great resignation is hyperbole at all. The illusion of not being able to work remote or the company crumbles got shattered. Lots of folks finally retired, lots changed jobs and will do so again.
Undici is a HTTP/1.1 client that is written from scratch and represents the evolution of the Node.js HTTP stack. Because Undici re-invents HTTP primitives and relies directly on sockets, our established mocking approaches like Nock no longer work. Luckily, Undici comes with its own built-in mocks, so we can still write unit tests against it.

Why is the Hacker News title editorialized? I believe the convention is to use the original title of the linked article. Removing the "how" from the sentence changes the tone by quite a margin.
Show HN: NFT Smart Contract for releasing your own NFT collections
The most well-known Z39.50 using software that still works is a paid citation manager called EndNote (the desktop client not the web client). You can ingest PDFs with that software too. I don't think the open-source Zotero has added that feature yet. Z39.50 is clunky, and our old LMS (library management software, used behind the scenes) can pull in MARC records for our staff when we order books, but I don't even want to think about the security.
It was fixed within an hour or so. I didn't even realize, surfing on reddit and it was working. I was just mindlessly surfing like I normally do and then it clicked, "oh cool, Reddit is back up".

Cutting releases of such a huge project with so many moving pieces, sub-projects, and dependencies, must be quite an effort!

This "5.0 release" thread in the official mailing list shows that they are trying to establish a "feature freeze" process in order to have a clear cut point where a release branch is made:

The article is certainly bias towards the move fast and break things mentality being applied to these nuclear startups.

That's only one benefit of normalization.

In our case many of our objects had redundant data (aka denormalized) so updates required multiple calls to the DynamoDB service. By normalizing we saw throughput gains in our application and reduced service calls by taking fewer trips. Additionally we had conflated a couple of our domain-specific concepts in the data model and by splitting what was actually two independent entities that had been modeled as one we reduced the absolute record count.

I describe these optimizations as "making the data smaller" and "normalization".

Some develop no noticeable symptoms and many develop mainly annoying ones for a few weeks to a few months. I had the misfortune to develop symptoms from infectious mononucleosis shortly after minor surgery. My GP and surgeon kept giving me antibiotics and sending me back to uni. Finally after several months of fatigue, nausea, and depressed appetite I wandered into campus health jaundiced with a 104º F fever and a temporarily enlarged liver. I ended up withdrawing from that semester and retroactively from the previous one. I was ordered into a month of bedrest and half a year of decreased physical activity while recovering. So I guess we could say there's a wide range of severity, partly depending on how soon it's addressed.
The Gses bundle up the mortgages and sell mortgage backed securities to investors. The prepayment risk flows through to those investors. As an extreme example, some securities they separately sell the principle payments and the interest payments. So if you bought the interest payments on a bunch of mortgages you stop getting paid as people prepay.

The folks who bought the principle payments are very happy to get paid early.
1. Many years of anti-cannabis propaganda and the war on drugs, despite never really studying the effects of cannabis, makes people skeptical of research like this.

2. This article in no way states that cannabis usage causes schizophrenia. It says there is a correlation, and furthermore the fact that both low and high usage having the same effects. That actually harms the case that it DOES, since you would expect the odds of it causing issues would increase with amount ingested.
I'd probably give them a little every year. Maybe reach out to them and see what their costs and facilities are like to get an idea of what you feel is appropriate.
Yep, I was looking at pictures of cannabis flowers the moment it happened.
Right, I like the term "IC Utilization Rate".
I think for me its the chaos of the hat wearing. I went about 6 months doing pure project management with 0 leadership or development work.

I periodically go long enough with 0 hands-on dev that stuff in the SDLC has changed again. So I have to go poke around and figure out why my commit message formatting is rejected, which teamcity instance we are using now, and what QA box I should be testing on.

Also the unmentioned part for me is that while 10-20% of my time is Dev at best, 50% of it is high urgency fires I am brought in to extinguish because I have the most knowledge of that part of the code base and can ship whatever improvement in 1-2 sprints without needing to spend 2 sprints on analysis first.
DESI is just one of the super-mapping scopes to come online in late 2010s-early 2020s. There GAIA about 3/4 through its program to map the positions and movement of 2 billion stars (2%) in the Milky Way. And the Roman telescope will rephotograph much of sky at least once a week, looking objects that change brightness or position- about 10,000,000 expected a night. These could be new asteroids, Planet X, super novea, etc.
Interestingly, I had a modern house built in eastern Europe (Latvia), and shipped to western Europe, very affordably. I had the foundation, roof and windows done locally but the frame, with insulation, was under 40k, for a ~140 sqm house.

But that does not actually happen. In practice, inequality means poverty.
Home equity loans are an obvious one. Or cash out refis.

If you have 1m equity, you could for example take out 500k at 3% interest and buy a dividend stock paying 6% and effectively double your yield on that equity (plus added risk from the debt, though).

Or use the equity to buy a rental property.

But most people aren't too finance savvy so you're right that it may not affect them in practice.
This is probably one of the most civilized ways to steal something. It hurts no one and is just a non-discriminatory tax on pretty much everyone in LA since most people order Amazon packages.

I'm sure you can find classical equations that model some aspects of p-n junctions but you're ultimately going to see that p-n junction physics is literally quantum physics of tunneling electrons in atomic solids.

Omicron May Be Plateauing in New York City and East Coast
So this. I guess I have had around 17 bosses (direct and dotted line) in around 26 years of I.T., and yeah, there is a point where you hit a kind of pay "glass ceiling" in your region if you are a decent but non-stellar engineer (70-95%ile) such that an extra 10-20k teaser is just not worth leaving a cool/familiar boss/situation for an unfamiliar one.

I'd move jobs if someone I knew and liked through my network wanted to hire me for the right job for a nice increase, but the idea of taking a +20k job with some random boss I have never seen under pressure or on a bad day--no way.

Taking a job when you are older is like buying a house without an inspection--you better really know and like the bones. Who you work for is the #1 factor for me. Nothing worse than hitting 50 and having some hateful blowhard breathing down your neck. Stress just sucks in your 20s and 30s, it can kill in your 40s and 50s.
But it sounds like they didn't do great by their reports:

"I was a manager for over 25 years. I feel that I was a good one. My employees seemed to agree. I kept many of them on board for decades, and these were folks that could walk out the door, and get huge pay raises (my company paid "competitive" salaries)."

It sounds like they did great by the company shareholders who captured the value from below market salaries.

Kindness, respect and trust should be table stakes but it's not going to pay for my kid's college fund, keep up with 7% inflation, or help me build my rainy day fund for a pandemic driven recession.

Thanks for mentioning this.

I somehow didn't quite realize MBS purchases had resumed with the Fed's COVID response, for some reason I assumed they were only buying Treasuries.

Even though I've been trying to keep up with the Fed's activities, somehow I missed the part about current-decade MBS purchases (and it's a big part).
Making code contribution a better experience is in the interests of the project, making it easier to report bugs is not such a clear win. Consumption-centric interactions are a modern concept originally popularized by the structure of the GitHub UI. Gamifying project popularity and making it easy for users to report bugs nobody is paying to have fixed has almost nothing to do with the actual task of developing software, although (cough) both are convenient if your primary use of open source is as a marketing tool.

I'm sure Marshall McLuhan would have a few things to say about GitHub if he were alive today.

Your comment seems like a classic ad-hominem—attacking the author rather than the point he is making. I don't see how it's relevant to the content of the video. I watched the whole thing and found it to be non-sensationalist to the point of bordering on milquetoast, with clear claims and backing examples.

I have this issue all over the web. I use mobile Safari, which has a way to increase page text size, but it doesn't work very well. I found a bookmarklet that will increase text size. Instruction is, create a bookmark (of anything). Edit the bookmark and paste in the Javascript below to replace the url stored in the bookmark.

javascript:(function()%7Bvar%20t,n,i,x=0,s,p='x-large',z,f=0;t=document.getElementsByTagName('*');%20n=t.length;for(i=0;i%3Cn;i++)%7Bz=t%5Bi%5D.style;z.fontSize=p%7Dif(document.frames)x=document.frames;else%20if(window.frames)x=window.frames;if(x)%7Bs=x.length;while(f%3Cs)%7Btry%7Bt=x%5Bf%5D.document.getElementsByTagName('*');n=t.length;for(i=0;i%3Cn;i++)%7Bz=t%5Bi%5D.style;z.fontSize=p%7D%7Dcatch(e)%7B%7Df++%7D%7D%7D)()

If it were autonomous it could defend itself and its contents without risk to humans. At the very least with fart spray, pepper spray, itch powder, and the like.
Similar thing with me. Starting at a new job in February. Left because the title did not reflect my work. There was not much room for negotiation and I had a scouted offer on the table with better comp and more interesting work.
What? Depends how low the probability is and the magnitude of the worst case we're talking about.

> So that engineer moves on and accepts a 40% raise elsewhere.

The other thing you see is talented engineers moving into management even we they don't really want to, so that they can get paid what they're worth. In some cases this is even worse than then the engineer leaving the company because, in addition to losing a good engineer, you often also gain a lousy manager.
The NRC doesn't regulate the Navy's reactors. For a while, Flibe Energy planned to work directly with the military, to bypass the NRC. And the Navy's ship-based reactors at least are classified.
I don’t get this type of management at all. The leverage is always in the developers/engineers hand. The company has essentially zero leverage when it comes to negotiating pay with highly in-demand employees. The only reality for the business is what they can feasibly pay you, and it’s likely much much more than what you’re getting now. Pretending like they have leverage in this position assumes the engineer is less informed. It doesn’t compute for me.

When I hire engineers I give them as close to the top dollar as I can and if that’s not enough there’s nothing else I can do. It’s not fun when they walk, but at least I know there was nothing else I could do.
What you say doesn't really make sense. For example, BWT has nothing specific to do with bioinformatics. It's used in bzip compression, of course, but a wide range of other things, predating its use for genome analysis.

I think the way I'd put it is, DNA sequence analysis benefitted greatly from the wide range of algorithms creatd for string processing- everything from fast string search (boyer moore) to dynamic programming to forward-backward alogirhtm for HMMs. But there's very little, if at all, stringology done that's purely DNA specific.
Elitist approach to bug reporting is wrong, at least that's my opinion. Unless project maintainers indeed don't care about bug reports and just do whatever. But then it's more arrogance than actual benefit to the user.

I think more projects suffer from under reporting of bugs than from too many bugs reported.

And if no one is fixing bugs, then the above doesn't matter anyway.
I mean, plenty of people write blogs for no compensation whatsoever (usually paying some token fees for hosting and domains, making it a net expense). Just because content is free doesn't mean it has to be bad.
I might be remembering wrong, it might also need the HEVC windows 10 app. It is a paid app but mine came free with my laptop.

Super cool. Can you add primitives? Square, circle etc as actual shapes?
I only buy Blu-ray that come with a digital code. I activate the code, it shows up in iTunes, and I give or throw away the Blu-ray. Although this is usually around Black Friday where you can get Blu-ray for $5-$10.
>This means you'll renew your mortgage roughly five times before it is repaid, at the prevailing rates at that time.

This sounds a lot like ARMs aka balloon mortgages. Mortgage brokers ramming these everyone's throats played a big role in the 2008 melt down.
> I like the idea of this. There's so much information on the web, but we still need a way to bring that information to other applications, without being tied to a particular source.

I'm not sure I'm interpreting you correctly here, but I think I'm on the other side of this. The problem is that many modern websites are godawful. I think the story pretty much ends there. If websites were not awful, we wouldn't find ourselves appalled by the idea of just embedding a browser.

Modern web browsers feature a 'reader mode' as a countermeasure to that much modern web design is significantly worse than having no web design at all.

If you're serious about a 'lightweight' alternative to the lumbering horror-show of the modern web, the way forward is either Gemini [0], or a formalised simple subset of HTML. [1]

> That way we can find, say, a recipe or an address on a web page in a reusable way and without needing magical heuristics.

I think the find and reusable aspects here are really two very different problems.

The reusable part is easy. HTML is already reusable. A standardised simple subset would be even more so. [1]

The find part is trickier. Discovering decent content is harder, as there's an arms race of ad-funded spammers trying to out-compete legitimate recipe sites in search-engine rankings. (There's also the possibility of search engines not being motivated to work on delivering good search results. [2])

The idea of having a choice between native GUI applications and web apps, has been with us for some time. Email is probably the best example, we've long had the choice between webmail and native email clients. Beyond webmail, these days even Microsoft Word has a web-based version. There are of course both advantages and disadvantages to web-based applications.

Not that many years ago, HBO was still locked behind expensive cable subscriptions while Netflix cost only a fraction of what you'd pay for a premium cable tier. With HBO Max having spun off into its own streaming service, and now this price change, Netflix has become more expensive than HBO!
