"Have you ever tried to find the color magenta on the visible spectrum? You can't do it! There is no wavelength of light that makes magenta. So how do we see it? Here's how it works...

You can't find magenta in the visible spectrum because magenta cannot be emitted as a wavelength of light. Yet magenta exists; you can see it on this color wheel.

Magenta is the complementary color to green or the color of the afterimage you would see after you stare at a green light. All of the colors of light have complementary colors that exist in the visible spectrum, except for green's complement, magenta. Most of the time your brain averages the wavelengths of light you see in order to come up with a color. For example, if you mix red light and green light, you'll see a yellow light. However, if you mix violet light and red light, you see magenta rather than the average wavelength, which would be green. Your brain has come up with a way to bring the ends of the visible spectrum together in a way that makes sense. Pretty cool, don't you think?"
This. Also the same reason why I don't daily drive linux even though I use it all the time remotely as so many on HN do.
On one hand i think finding a job with better compensation is the best thing to do right now considering that the rate of inflation has pretty much eclipsed a typical raise, so the best thing to do is look for 15-20% increase in pay. At the same time, I am personally very hesitant to switch jobs mostly because of economic uncertainty and my belief that we're going to hit a major recession this year. 2008, massive layoffs and hiring freezes still give me goosebumps.
The US is still fielding new nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers. So, they ARE building new power plants, just...not commercial ones.
Also, a lot of the French ones, like “joie de vivre”, have been borrowed into English verbatim. “Joie de vivre” is indeed translatable into English, and the translation is just “joie de vivre”.

To claim otherwise would be like saying that the concept of chile pepper can only be expressed in Nahuatl.
Should be removed by what or by whom? English doesn't have an equivalent of the Icelandic Language Institute or French Academy, and even if it did, there's no reason to believe that institution could control the development of a language that's used all over the world by so many people.

The best translation for “te quiero” is “I care about you”
I ordered two more on Amazon and they won't be here until February.
I think the recruitment industry themselves kicked off the whole "great resignation".

By promoting the idea that employees are going to resign, it forces employers to quickly get into "recruitment mode" - as we all know, recruitment takes time (and money). Better be prepared!

Since there is now an abundance of job adverts, and hype, employees who previously were _not_ thinking about changing roles are now considering it.

Employees get higher wages and the recruitment industry gets a boost.
In that case, the plaintiff would sue for the damage caused by the lie, which would include the amount paid for the software.

The only case in which you might get the source code as a result is if you paid for the source code. Which is the complete opposite claim of what is being made on this page.
Your "online bank" does not sound like an actual bank (much like PayPal isn't one).
It still sucks to get Covid, based on my small sample size of a few breakthrough infected friends even "mild" omicron is on par with a bad flu. It's also about 10x as contagious. Most people don't want to infect all their friends if they can help it, so they test.

Also we all have friends and family members with high-risk conditions and don't want to give it to them either.
The other element is leverage. If you put 20% down (which is higher than average), you are levered 5:1. If all houses double in value, your equity goes up 5x. (Example: $100k down on a $500k house; price doubles to $1mil, your equity is now $600k; you can now easily afford 20% down on the higher price house, despite the fact that it is now $2,000k from $1,000k when you started the process.)
I'm with you on this. But just to be sure..

They do have a button. It's on the bottom direct center, tiny and slightly further back than you would expect. Press it and you can cycle through your inputs, and turn it off.

You may have already known this -- but it's pretty clear that they're not interested in making this a popularly known thing. Or I'm just the idiot :)
I was confused by the wording of that as well! I guess it would have helped if they put "yet" at the end of the sentence.
I think you're conflating two points there. Component-based frameworks and utility CSS are completely orthogonal to the use of semantic/accessible HTML.

Granted you do see things like divs with click handlers used as buttons by people who don't know what they're doing, but I saw plenty of that in the jQuery days too.
A quick positive test could get you a Paxlovid prescription, while it's still early enough in the course of infection to have maximal benefit.
>Suckless tools are developed for the needs (and the benefit) of their own developers, and nobody else. Remember that.

Another way of putting it is: if you can use it, you become a suckless developer :)
How will this reduce the load on the medical system? Most ERs already turn away patients who come in asking for a test unless they have severe symptoms.

Badgers probably have the same pathing algorithms as foxes.
For a non-trivial piece of code, the conclusion might be that it was copied (horizontal code transfer??). But the 6 amino acids is not a "non-trivial piece of code" -- it is a trivial short string of letters. So the more relevant question is, how often do we see "dogcat" in GitHub (468 repository names). Or perhaps something more nonsensical: "ifdlog" (6 letters from "goldfish" reversed): 1 repository and 25 code results. "hsifdl" - 1 code result.

Random things occur at random.
Colorado did. I got a couple free tests mailed to me.

But agree it should have been done nationwide. Same with masks. Trump canceled the idea of USPS mailing free masks and at least one supplier publicly complained he couldn't get a federal commitment for long term production.

When I visited France last summer during low point tests where available everywhere and super cheap.
The heaviest alcohol drinkers in my society are university students. Seems like a correlation.
The default settings for Google Analytics are not GDPR compliant. But changing these settings affects collection for all of your GA traffic. I'm curious what most people do here... the way it's presented it feels like you have to nerf GA so that it's compliant in the EU, but then it's nerfed for all traffic. Do you manage multiple accounts: 1 for EU 1 for the rest?

Oh, wait, now we're onto "it wasn't just the lockdowns. They set up the lockdowns knowing that some months later, they would inject billons of dollars into the economy in a way that would, GASP, benefit the already rich at least as much as the not-already-rich"? That's the claim now?

Look, I get it, the "bailouts" distributed huge sums of money and lots of it went to people who, viewed through the lens of some sort of moral common sense, should not have received it. That's unfortunately the price you pay for a big country with a big economy. Trying to ensure that none of it was misdirected would have ensured nobody got any at all.
In the original comment you implied that the parent lacked critical thinking skills and mocked the idea that lockdowns even exist. I hope you can see how that is insulting, especially considering that in a later reply you said "The lockdowns have been hard, yes indeed". It kind of leads me to believe that you are the one arguing in bad faith here.

And I am not saying you are "obligated" to do anything. What I am saying is that by reacting the way you did, you are contributing to the hardening of beliefs and the polarization of this issue. If you want to live in a world where "utterly and obviously false" ideas continue to gain traction, then by all means keep insulting anyone who you disagree with.
(This probably belongs on one of the many Leetcode interview threads ongoing, but ...)

Yes, and while going thru the past few months' "let me see if I can find something that engages me and my interests (w/o too much concern about pay level)" job search, I repeatedly ran into Job Descriptions containing criteria BS/MS CompSci, EE, or equivalent required. I have a BSEE, but in fact, the underlying premise of Leetcode testing is CompSci. So the allowance for EE degreed candidates is IMO bogus/deceptive. I never got near a CompSci Data Structures or Algorithms course during my uni days, and aside from Leetcode, never suffered an inability to get my job done due to that omission.
While I completely agree that change is good, and flexibility, company culture and life balance are incredibly important, the reason I left my job in October was compensation.

I started at that project as a freelancer, but the client had a hard rule that they couldn't hire freelancers for more than two years (because the tax service might consider them employees instead), and after two years I wasn't ready to leave, so I became an employee. I knew I had to take a pay cut for that, but the pay cut turned out to be much, much larger tan I expected. That simply made it a temporary thing. I don't regret continuing that project for another year, and I did try to negotiate better salary that might allow me to stay longer, but when that turned out to be impossible, I left.

I'm freelancing again.
The ads for games in my feeds are like this guy's viral text. They show someone failing at a very simple puzzle game and say, "millions have tried, few have succeeded!" this is just bait for customers to play the very easy game and prove to themselves that their brains aren't slowly rotting away. In a similar vein, coming up with a word with an 'ee' in it, as in the linked article, is trivial and makes people feel smart.
There may be processes that use gravity to either sort proteins or concentrate chemicals. I can't think of much else, besides hormone response to stress caused by gravity.
You don't have to go that far afield. Most Brazilians have a tremendous challenge in saying "the" and will be taught to say "th" as "d" and often it's good enough to be understood, but far from natural sounding.

Um... Oracle (and other enterprise databases like DB2) don't use mmap. They use Direct I/O. Oracle does have anonymous (non-file-backed) memory which is mmap'ed and shared across various Oracle processes, called the Shared Global Area (SGA), but it's not used for I/O.
Yeah, you're probably right. But a guy can dream, can't he?

To clmp4j, the parent's response is why Austin will be SF 2.0

Austin in early 2019 was the kind of place you could walk down the street with little kids at 1st and the river at midnight and feel safe. It was beautiful and open and friendly, and started becoming much worse even prior to Covid. Since then violent crime has skyrocketed (despite actually going down in much larger metros like DFW and Houston) and homelessness is out of control because the Mayor made it illegal to enforce the existing ban on encampments.

And yet, despite everything getting worse in Austin relative to Houston or Dallas, the moneyed class in Austin will act like their boutique issues are the reason Austin isn't better. The people that move there have amazing cognitive dissonance: they're political refugees who want to install the existing regime in their new "home."
Can any website gain root access to your television simply by visiting/drive by download?
why? what is the benefit in covering the world in test, what difference does it make?

If I test myself tomorrow four times "for free" - how did that benefit anyone?

wouldn't it much better if the tests went to people that actually needed it? Giving out "free" test is basically a massive waste, most test are not used when needed.

There's also a lot of evidence desantis 'hacked' test result reporting and nursing home deaths too.

It's more complicated than a headline, but it's a really bad look to raid someone who was trying to get info out - even if their goal was political it should have been public information and that just intimidates future whistleblowers.

I must share the very wonderful video by Seymour Papert on teaching LOGO. He makes a similar observation: imagine if we taught people dancing by sitting them at a desk and explaining all the steps to them, making them memorize them and write them down, but they were never allowed to actually move or try the steps. We find when teaching people a language for example that immersion works very well. So Papert suggests teaching math by immersing students in "Math land", and shows off his computer language LOGO designed to do that. It is a wonderful video in many ways and a big inspiration for me as I think about hopefully teaching in the future.

Portuguese as spoken in Portugal is very different from how it is spoken in Brazil which has a population about 30x larger.
Long-time resident here -- right on the money. While likely not purposeful, Adler's use of the past tense 'made' (the city so attractive) speaks volumes to the negative trends in accessibility, affordability, livability, and viability that Austin has experienced over the last decade or more. This being a weird, artsy, and affordable place to live is a meme that might have been true at one time but is fading quickly into the past, and increasingly so, given the current 'Austin is cool' cultural zeitgeist. Sadly, outside public awareness of this has not caught up and the political will for meaningful change toward sustainable growth ends at someone's $1.2mil front lawn or the amount owed on their property tax bill.

I fear this place is heading more in the direction of LA than SF -- less earthquakes and beaches; yet all the inequality, homelessness, soul-crushing driving commutes, expensive rents, drought, vapid personalities, celebrity, traffic, tech/crypto bros, etc. But, hey, your income taxes will be a little lower! You can spend that win-fall on power generation to heat/cool your home and boil water when the Texas power grid inevitably fails again.

The other sentence you called out, likely refers to the I35 expansion project proposal that is under the authority of state TXDOT officials, who can, and I'd expect will, flout the wishes of the Austin community [0]. Local organizations have developed several potential alternatives which aim to increase affordability, livability, and economic opportunities within the area but these have seemly fallen on deaf ears at the State level [1].

Especially up here in Canada, as a recent Disney+ subscriber, it has caused me to realize just how anemic Netflix’s selection is. Not to mention the quality of Netflix’s original content is far more miss than hit.

I also don’t appreciate that, as licensing changes; films and shows often appear and disappear. This might be the case with all the platforms, but Netflix appears to be the worst compared to Prime or Disney+.

I am already considering killing my Netflix subscription. Increasing the price would just make up my mind for me.
No, you're right. Everything happened exactly as the experts and fact-checkers said it did

I think there are people with more and less strict definitions of what can be called a Lisp family language. I believe I have seen one person who had a definition such that nothing but Common Lisp was a Lisp, not even Scheme. I don't recall why, probably because their reasons did not make much sense to me.

IMHO, I consider Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, Emacs Lisp, Autolisp, and a few others I'm forgetting about now a Lisp. I prefer some over others, but I don't kick them out of my Lisp club because they have features I prefer less.
I dont get the same pay arrangement bonuses, raises, rsu etc, they get a ton of pto for holidays and I don’t, employees get tons of trainings, access to online learning accounts, tuition reimbursement, they have a much bigger health care pool i pay about $24,000/yr for health care, employee discounts on company gear, 401k matching, employee stock purchase.

My contract house offered 10 pto, 5 sick, 7 paid holidays, base salary.
Computers usually report time in UTC but don't actually have leap seconds. Most computers are pretty bad at keeping time, and regularly sync to NTP servers for the current time. NTP servers generally have better time keeping hardware (or sync with better sources). When a leap second occurs, NTP servers will smear that second over 12 hours or so. Different NPT servers have different smear standards. During that smear, seconds are a bit longer, or shorter for negative leap seconds, than usual. But for general computing this doesn't matter. The smear is on a similar order of magnitude of normal clock drift. This isolates the leap second to only computers that need to track it. UTC/UT1 is designed to be used by humans and is based on the Earth's revolution and rotation about the sun (well now it's actually measured using distant pulsars).

The big reason to isolate this is because leap seconds aren't totally determinate. We can predict them to some degree, but ultimately rely on measurement. Unlike something like leap days, you cannot safely code a system that accounts for future leap seconds. Leap days follow a well-defined formula, leap seconds do not.

For time sensitive applications like navigational computers, TAI is used. TAI is currently 37 seconds off from UTC. TAI is associated with the SI Second unit. While originally derived from the solar day, it is now based on the vibrational frequency of a caesium atom.

For a more detailed explanation see http://mperdikeas.github.io/utc-vs-ut1-time.html for a good summary.

For an overview on how Google handles the smear see https://developers.google.com/time/smear
Freedesktop isn't specifying standards, it just puts out some specs to help interoperability where that is desired but not all specs are expected to be followed and really anyone can propose new specs. It is even in their site:

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/

> freedesktop.org produces specifications for interoperability, but we are not an official standards body. There is no requirement for projects to implement all of these specifications, nor certification.

Freedesktop doesn't have any sort of authority, while it does provide some useful specs (e.g. the .desktop files are in general useful), not everything they do is like that.

The reason that this isn't found in floating WMs is simply that the developers of those WMs didn't found it useful to implement it, not because of Freedesktop (which BTW could update EWMH to include such a thing, it isn't like it has to be written in stone).
> In Germany, large government purchases allow it to offer rapid tests to residents for less than $1 each

I bought some at Lidl and Aldi for less then 1€ a few months ago. You can buy them almost everywhere, the current price is ~2-3€ now. I don’t really see what the government has to do with this, they don’t sell tests as far as I understand.
When I make my todo list for the day, I estimate how long each task will take and write the time I expect to start each one. Since I rarely overestimate, it mostly serves as a way to limit myself to reasonable expectations, but there is the minor benefit of pressuring myself to stay on track for the day.
Yeah. That amuses me. I'll need to be honest... When I hear people overdo the flap pronunciation of /t/ in those specific words, it triggers something judgemental in me. I've been on the west coast for 14 years now, so I think I've gotten over it somewhat.
I worked at a company that developed its own proprietary database for a financial application. The entire database, several gigabytes, not large by today's standards, was mmap'd and read at startup to warm the page cache. We also built in-memory "indexes" at startup.

This was back in the early 2000's, when having 4 gigabytes of RAM would be considered large. The "database server" was single threaded, and all changes were logged to a WAL-ish file before updating the mmap'd database. It was fun stuff to work on. It worked well, but it wasn't a general purpose DB.
Maybe it displays 0kb because an empty folder is only a few bytes?
>>> An example would be a task that is not on the critical path of the project but still needs to be done. There is a deadline by which it must be delivered or it becomes part of critical path and starts delaying entire project.

I know it is picky but, if a task "needs to be done" then it is on the critical path. Just because "build the bridge" is not needed yet, it is on the critical path even before you arrive at the waters edge.

I am of the opinion that pretty much every project management function can be replaced in software.

My question:

> how does google work

The response:

> A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) is a software running on a distributed ledger that offers users a built-in model for the collective management of its code. To become a member of a DAO, users need to first join the DAO by buying its currency. Unlike traditional organizations, there is no hierarchy in DAOs. One of the key features of DAOS is the internal capital that is used to incentivize these actors and ensure that the organization runs smoothly.
They want to put this in the middle of nowhere in Idaho. It wouldn't be worth running transmission lines to connect a reactor this size to the grid.

You could put the bitcoin mine right next to the facility and do something useful with the electricity. It really should be coupled to some real sink so they can see the dynamics of the reactor + powerset + consumer.
