Agreed that Form has lots of hype, but that's one thing that can be needed in addition to working tech. Utility decision makers are not the best at adding new tech to the grid or dealing with innovation. Having some big industry names and the support of the business press that the utility execs and shareholders read is it's own form of currency when dealing with such archaic businesses.

This is incredibly sad. How many years of your life are you going to lose for a virus that is never going away? (A virus from which you are extremely well-protected after vaccination.)

Now, I don't know you. Maybe you have some serious immune compromise condition -- like a recent bone marrow transplant -- that prevents the vaccines from being effective. But if not, what are you doing? Even if you're a 65 year old with multiple co-morbidities, your risk of serious illness after vaccination is in the 1-per-10,000 range, and death is in the 1-per-100,000 range. I'm not exaggerating:

If you work in a high margin, less capital intensive industry with more specialized labor categories, a union is likely less necessary. Unfortunately only a minority of American workers operate in such an environment. This minority of higher paid individuals aren't enough to power a massive economy centered on consumerism. Without a stable labor policy, you risk social instability, low growth rates and rising inequality.
Locating all their servers in IndependiPrivastan probably wouldn't stop intelligence agencies from collecting data. The NSA, for example, does not care even a tiny bit about the privacy of non-US citizens and sets up equipment around the world to gather and analyze internet traffic.
I suggest putting the blurb somewhere in your employment history. Your LinkedIn profile gets scraped and imported by various recruiting software. They often don't import the bio blurb (although they probably should).

This won't eliminate the spam, but will increase your chance of a recruiter seeing the blurb.

Azure has about 21% market share and revenue of around $15.1bn (sort of, MSFT bundle it with 'Intelligent Services' in their reporting). Someone must be using it. It clearly isn't dead.

Secondly, some recruiters are liars who will tell you literally anything to try to get you to apply for jobs they're recruiting for. A recruiter saying MSFT stack is a dead-end just means they don't have many MSFT stack jobs on their books. If they had one they'd put you forward for it, and not tell you that they think the stack is a dead-end.

MSFT's stack is not going to disappear any time soon. It's growing just like all the rest of the industry. There's definitely no harm in learning other things, but don't write it off if you want to carry on with it either.

Forced labor is an incentive to incarcerate more people. Incarceration should not be profitable.

It would be better to give them daily education, therapy, recreation, etc. They have piloted such programs in the US with a lot of success at preventing recidivism.

All of this can save costs in the long run. Paying for prison security, medical costs, maintenance, turnover, and recidivism is extremely expensive.
Give them access to toys. Imagine if Twitter users had skipping ropes!
Forced labor in a fixed geographic region with strict security requirements is fundamentally incongruent with pricing power.

I think prisoners should have the option to work and that they should be subject to all of the normal worker protection laws. Wages can go toward some combination of restitution and improving quality of life in prisons: food, lodging, entertainment in off hours, etc.

Restitution should be limited to a fixed percentage of monthly income (as it is in the civilian world). Why? Because removing positive reinforcement from the act of labor has perverse psychological effects. These effects persist after incarceration and contribute to recidivism.

This sort of system is insufficiently punitive for some, so the politics of these reforms are tricky.

Talk is cheap, but unions have to face actions.
While that’s true, I trust PostgreSQL to store exactly what I’ve asked it to store. At some point, you have to trust something to do its job, or else everything built on top of it is a castle of sand.

Imagine a bug like this in ext4. No one would reasonably contend that the layers on top of it should be validating that the files you write out are the ones you’ll read back in. We write unit tests for all kinds of stuff, but we’re not that thorough.
Police unions aren’t labour unions.

While inheritance can certainly work, especially in terms of UI development, the issue is when you are talking more abstract concepts. At that point, it can become really hard to figure out the right lines for what should be inherited vs composed.

In my experience, poorly composed code is simply easier to understand than code which poorly applies inheritance.

For me, inheritance is best used lightly. The obvious smell is when you end up with methods that don't apply to all the base classes. Or, said another way, when a super class it has a superset of capabilities for a base class.

A good example of this is Java's collections, which, for the most part, are quite good with their inheritance. However, because the base classes have mutable methods, it makes it a pain to deal with unmodifiable collections. Java's mistake is they should have had the default collection be unmodifiable and had sub classes which added mutation capabilities. List and MutableList, for example.
Not being able to smell noxious smells is one of the few upsides of wearing a mask.

I've been using different P100 masks since the beginning of the pandemic and while it occasionally garners strange looks, I love not smelling anything when forced to use a port-a-potty.
> And if you're vaccinated, you're protected. So stop worrying about masks.

Better than not vaxxed, but with Omicron not nearly as well protected as against prior strains, and with both Omicron and Delta not protected against infection and retransmission enough not to be a public health risk if unmasked, even if your personal risk is low because of your combination to age, vaccination status, and general health.
Interestingly, fog on glasses does not appear to be a strong indicator of a poor fit: https://www.ijccm.org/doi/IJCCM/pdf/10.5005/jp-journals-1007...

Consider how the fit can be pretty and still result in fogging up your glasses. In general but especially on cold days, you avoid fogging your glasses because the air you exhale is moving usually quickly enough that it is past your glasses by the time any of it starts diffusing and moving upward.

An N95 slows it down enough that some of the warm, moist air will make its way up to your glasses. It'll be especially noticeable if you're outdoors int he winter. Plus, the shape of some N95s and KN95s looks like it would cause some of your exhaled air to diffuse out through the mask in a more upward direction that it would if you were maskless.

Ask HN: I'm terrible at design (back end dev)
Over the years I've started many, many side projects and most of them were completed but never launched because I didn't like the way they looked and couldn't improve them.

Common advice for people like me is to use a framework and/or template. I've used bootstrap in the past which is fine for very simple apps, but I struggle with anything even remotely complicated. I've spent money on premium bootstrap themes but the end result never looks the way I imagined.

I've also hired a couple of designers on odesk with no success. I showed them what I was working on and explained how it worked. I basically got back the same thing with different colors.

It's hard for me to express exactly what I find difficult. I see webapps like notion, github, basecamp etc and by comparison, my stuff just looks terrible. Has anyone here struggled with design before and what did you do about it?
> A country being hostile to unions isn't nearly as bad as a country being hostile to corporations.

This is a very subjective conclusion that is likely very dependent on what economic class you fall into. Many folks on HN (myself included) fall into the category white collar or professional workers. For many other parts of the labor market, you're literally trading sweat and toil for money.

Add to this that labor intensive jobs tend to lead to a lot of physical wear and tear with less medical benefits than white collar professionals typically receive, then just by quality of life and welfare alone most people doing physical labor would come to opposite conclusions re: pro union vs pro cooperation economic/governmental policies.

You are off by a lot. The maximum code point is about 21bit high (0x10FFFF). The space is only 1.1 million large.
I agree it changes the experience of playing the game for a human quite a bit, and you'll use different tactics, but for the kind of solver I made it doesn't change much - I had to change very little code to make it work.

From the perspective of the solver it just means the starting set of potential solutions is every word in the dictionary, instead of every permutation, but it doesn't really make much of a structural difference. Either way a solver can just brute-force its way through every potential solution since there aren't that many.

The other difference is that Mastermind tells you only how many of the pegs are correct, but not which ones. Wordle tells you which ones. That is easier, but it's counterbalanced by Wordle having a larger solution space. There's only 1296 possible solutions for classic Mastermind (4 pegs, 6 colors).
Pumped hydroelectric storage is an obvious choice for the countries that have the geography, in effect meaning that most of the infrastructure for doing it is already in place. Hydroelectric reservoirs allow storing energy more or less indefinitely.

Of course, the capacity will rarely have been dimensioned for keeping 6 months of usage on hand, but combining pumped storage with over-provisioned wind energy would allow for living through months of unfavorable sun, rain or wind conditions.
There’s no question they do something. The question is whether in practical terms they’re worth mandating society-wide. It reminds me of the old 55mph speed limit. Sure, properly enforced it would lower oil usage and save lives. But it wasn’t properly enforced and in practice became a random tax on those who got pulled over.

Not all interventions are effective when mandated society-wide.

They should have the option of school or work, with a minimum GPA required to stay in school. The biggest issue will be supervision of the grading to ensure it's not being abused either to punish people who are doing well or to let people off who aren't actually doing their work.
Could be, but you have to take practicality into account. What if people use the same face mask several times a day, touching its surface every time they put it on? Even many government officials do this. Is it reasonable to ask people to use a stricter procedure and pay for their own face masks? Considerations like that ultimately determine the effectiveness of a measure.
Well, for a while they colluded with other tech giants to prevent this.

Thanks for the release. I just upgraded and error messages are really nice. One bit I might be missing is that Python 3.10 added suggestions for AttributeError and NameError. It seems the suggestions are not stored in the exception object but calculated when Error is displayed.

You site a paper from June of 2021. The vaccines came out in roughly January of 2021, with average uptake around march.

> If you're a cross-border worker you'll likely have to file multiple tax decelerations (one for each country)

Yes, if you have sources of income in multiple countries, you might have to. But if you're (only) working on the other side of the border and this is your only source of income, agreements on double taxation and tax harmonization between the EU member states should actually prevent that. Heck, I even worked in the US once, declared my taxes there and didn't have to do my taxes back home in the EU anymore.

Agreed. I don't think the point of the article to is to say that this is a never-before-seen type of event, but rather that the landscape is shifting again in the hardware space, as it does maybe once every couple of decades... and that software (compilers specifically) are going to be needed to enable and accelerate the shift of many workloads to ML Accelerators.
Because one of the Rust goals is to improve the security landscape and reduce the use of C and C++.

It is a bit hard to achieve such goal if improving Rust requires to some extent, to keep writing C++.

Naturally some day the compiler might be fully bootstraped, however that implies throwing away the work being done by legions of C++ devs on LLVM (same applies to be front ends being written to plug Rust into GCC).

Indias middle class makes up a much smaller percent of their population when compared to China. They will likely have similar influence if they continue to expand their middle class, as China spent the last 20 years doing.
That is a lie, labor movements shaped those long before there were a legal concept of unions. Unions != labor movements. Unions are often a result of labor movements, but they are not the same thing. For example, the 8-hour work week was demanded by labor movements who weren't organized as modern unions are organized.

Edit: Labor movements often called themselves unions though, but that was just a group of people getting together to protest and demand rights and has nothing to do with how modern unions works.
First, yes, this is a common question. IPython does not try to deal with that, it's just the executing engine.

Notebooks, do not have to be stored in ipynb form, I would suggest to look at https://github.com/mwouts/jupytext, and notebook UI is inherently not design for multi-file and application developpement. So training humans will always be necessary.

Technically Jupyter Notebook does not even care that notebooks are files, you could save then using say postgres (https://github.com/quantopian/pgcontents) , and even sync content between notebooks.

I'm not too well informed anymore on this particular topic, but there are other folks at https://www.quansight.com/ that might be more aware, you can also ask on discourse.jupyter.org, I'm pretty sure you can find threads on those issues.

I think on the Jupyter side we could do a better job curating and exposing many tools to help with that, but there are just so many hours in the day...

I also recommend I don't like notebook from Joel Grus, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jiPeIFXb6U it's a really funny talk, a lot of the points are IMHO invalid as Joel is misinformed on how things can be configured, but still a great watch.

"running a majority of the economy" doesn't seem to necessarily be the relevant metric to be optimizing for. But I'll cede that many of the largest countries in the world do not have solid union rights.
That’s a detail that’s not really important to the point being made.

I know that the Americans have a creation myth where they see the British as unspeakably evil and Americans as an oppressed people, but the reality is that the situation was very messy and there were differing views on all sides.

The fact is that American independence actually had some sympathy among the British establishment. This made the Treaty of Paris possible, which made American Independence legal and recognised internationally. There is no longer a disagreement about the status of the United States because of this.

There is no such support for Taiwanese independence in China and I cannot see them ever recognising a Taiwanese State, no matter how badly they lose a war. Without Chinese recognition i cant see Taiwan ever getting much recognition internationally.

Sweden's #2 party wants to remove presumption of innocence for gang members
Article in Swedish, translation below:

https://www.svt.se/nyheter/snabbkollen/m-omvand-bevisborda-for-gangkriminell

M (Moderate party): Inverted burden of evidence for gang member

Moderates wish that a gang criminal who can't explain how he obtained expensive objects and large sums of money, should lose them.

- "Money and expensive status symbols are unfortunately a very strong force of attraction which many young are drawn to", says Johan Forssell of the Moderates to TT.

Inverted burden of evidence will apply to those who have been convicted for gang-related criminality, as well as those who haven't been convicted, but for which money or expensive objects have been found during home search. A claim for seizure should be put to court where one has to explain oneself.
