> I had to go to a local county courthouse 4 times to get a "realid" and to renew a driver's license.

If you have a passport... no need for a "real ID" driver license.

If you don't like having to carry that big book around, other solutions include a federal passport card (USD 65) [1]. Same size, so fits in wallet. Bonus is it does not have my address on it, nor does it show what state I live in.

If you're a legal non-citizen, you can use the passport of your home country (which you're required to have in the USA, and should carry with you when you travel anyway).

But is this driven by the supply side or demand side?

Seems to me that users would still benefit from a cross-site search capability (eg to follow your example, what if you want something funny not from a specific site or you don't know which sites offer something)

It's subjective but most of the pressure seems to be because the search quality has dropped off recently, not that I'm no longer willing/eager to search.

> What you are saying has no basis in fact

Which parts? That the Soviets feared a NATO first strike, or at least deemed it a real enough possibility to prepare for it, is true (see: "Seven Days to the River Rhine"). That they Cuban missile crisis was a consequence of the US placing missiles in Turkey is fact. That the Soviets were fearful of the West and paranoid about signs of their interference is fact. That Finland was left alone because of its neutrality is fact. And the list goes on.

PS: Le Carré wrote fiction but also had real insight into the intelligence world, having worked in it. And what his fiction states is absolutely true: the West, in its eagerness to combat communism, supported, aided and propped up all sorts of ruthless murderers and dictators as long as they declared themselves anticommunists.
> if the work were too sparse and wants more work, why not join interview loops or take classes/training, attend talks?

because it's never that easy. If you try to get work from somewhere else maybe your manager starts to think you're bored or not interested, you definitely can't just leave and go mountain biking because then you look even lazier. So at the end of the day in every gigantic organization a substantial amount of people sits around and does nothing, that's just how it goes.

it's not first world, it's just that in bug business you're just a salaryman.

What do I have to be salty about? I’m honestly a very happy person.

I’ve found some incredible people that fulfill me, and that’s freed me.

I used to be afraid of what people would think if I said what I felt. Now I can say what I believe with little consequence and to be honest? Not going back.
My buddy used to do 80/20 but on alternating months. So he’s go to his dad’s on weekends on one month and then the next month he’d do weeks at his dad’s. Worked reasonably well IMHO. Guess I should ask him how he felt.
The article mentions that clothing fell from 10% of the average US households budget to 2%. That sounds like efficiency to me, especially if more clothes are being purchased.
This is me.

I love going to theme theaters. Dinner and a show is a big and amazing thing with regular assigned seats and 21+, so no screaming kids.

I continue to watch movies in these :)

"twice" is not that much when you are already close to retire (like 2 years).
Sounds like a massive fun mud slide. You slide in with a bunch of dirt, then you get flung back out into space. But dangerous because you might get stuck in the hole or get caught by the flame thrower. If this were a theme park, it seems like it would be in VHF run by Stanley "Who wants to drink from the firehose!?" Spadowski.
I see, guess I'm wrong then! What's the disadvantage of Paxos Commit vs 2PC? Presumably there's a reason that the Spanner team didn't use it for distributed transactions.

edit: Looking at the paper, it looks like the tradeoff is increased amount of coordination needed.

"The Two-Phase Commit protocol is thus the degenerate case of the Paxos
Commit algorithm with a single acceptor."

I suppose in Spanner, having more than one acceptor is redudant since each shard is a Paxos group anyways.
Projects are making this easier. For example moving from large mono config files to using conf.d/ directories where you can drop in extra files and manage each one independently is great for IaC.

While it's challenging up front I do enjoy being able to freshly install the latest version of Fedora, run my playbook and be more or less up and running.

It feels cleaner and more reliable (at least until this week when a broken selinux policy made it to stable) rather then trying to upgrade packages across major release versions in place.

I'm talking about the vast majority who are in fact hypocrites and are very happy to rile up hatred and anger towards others while never reflecting on their own behavior and situations.

I do know one or two people who think and care very deeply about this stuff and they (to some degree) put their money where their mouth is by attempting to avoid and not support these things they disagree with. They are typically the last to point their finger at others.
The climate change activists who want to cut oil and natural gas production should consider the consequences:

"The price-increases stem partly from global energy costs, with the average natural-gas price in Europe for the October-December quarter 10 times as much as that for the year of 2020, according to World Bank data. Nitrogen production facilities rely heavily on natural gas to convert chemical raw materials into finished products, so rises in the natural-gas price often flow through into fertilizer costs. Major fertilizer producers including China, Turkey, Egypt and Russia also curbed exports in the second half of 2021, further pushing up global prices."
We could dump ten times the clothes and it wouldn't matter. Landfill space is not at all rare, it wouldn't even be a huge engineering project to build a hole big enough to house all human trash for the next hundred years.

Frankly, the gains from having cheap clothing and letting people express themselves far outweighs the downsides from the waste.
I'm 59. Been programming most days/week since 1980 or so. And I play the piano 2+ hours/day. No RSI.
I agree that the gloomy attitude on the Left is going to hurt them in 2022 and 2024. While certainly the Right is unreasonably self-assured, the majority of the population doesn’t seem to think that the country is as bad as some on the Left make it out to be. And as such, they are selling solutions to problems that a majority of voters don’t see. Compare this to the traditional “jobs and public safety” message that the GOP tends to run on.

The other trend I’ve noticed is that when events occur that should help support the narrative of the left (such as the awful murder of George Floyd), instead of focusing on making incremental improvements (improve training, ban chokeholds, end war on drugs), they go all in (defund the police * ).

* I know that “defund the police” doesn’t actually mean “defund the police” but maybe we should go with slogans that, and this is a tad crazy I know, don’t mean something other than what the actual goal is?
Computer keyboards tend to have switches in a matrix so that only (columns + rows) number of GPIO pins would be needed on the keyboard controller. Each column gets strobed at once in turn, and the rows sensed.

Cherry once made a software/hardware hybrid but it didn't have any advantages compared to software debouncing, and it needed more power, so there was only one model.

If I understand it correctly, debouncing with a capacitor delay events somewhat. With software debouncing (done right) you are only required to have a minimum time between the press and release events.
I don't give two damns about fashion, but I would like good long-lasting clothing. Any suggestions on where I can find that (once my current stock wears out)?
This is a really misguided comment. Africa, as far as an entire continent can be generalized, is not as you describe and hasn't been in a long time. Nations there face many challenges, but nakedness is not among them.

And this is not even remotely close to "eradication of third world poverty." Rich countries are doing this to avoid filling their own landfills. That there are side benefits for some is good, but it's hardly transformative, especially at the volumes described.

And yes, it's sequestration compared to burning them. But the production of these garments at enormous volumes is wasteful and toxic. The culture of waste and disposability, and treating poor countries as sovereign landfills that should be grateful for our luxury garbage, are serious problems.
This sounds good if both partners are young professionals with roughly the same earning potential, but what about breadwinner + housewife/househusband situations?

And yet we outlaw plenty of things that have negative effects on society. And of course, our biggest trading partner (China) does not allow free market access to US companies. Don’t pretend this about some lofty ideal. It’s about profit, pure and simple.
Ask HN: How to teach mom how to use an iPhone, and other tech?
She's elderly, and generally terrible with computers and tech.

When she is shown something, she generally needs to be reminded or re-taught it several times, and on an ongoing basis if she's not using it every day.

And that's if the tech is not total garbage, which most of it is, imo.

I used an iPhone as an example, because I'd like her to learn how to use her iPhone7, but it's really all sorts of things -- like Gmail, and the TCL Android TV remote, and etc.

I was thinking maybe oversized, bite-sized flashcards that just include the very basics, and I would sketch up the idea and content and have someone give me a pretty picture, then create and sell them on Amazon to recoup my costs.

Like, the 'Dummies' books are the right-ish idea, but we would not need 97% of the content in it.

She had an iPad but gave it up -- maybe she'd be open to getting it again (I would give it to her), but I'm not sure it actually solves any problems.

She can do without some tech, but she's got to be able to get to her Rockford Files on IMDBtv, etc. - so presumably she needs to know how to use the controller. The audio features are, of course, trash, imo -- you'll often get a list of apps and 'squares' that she can't navigate. If Amazon Prime comes up and you select/OK a square (a show), and you have not paid for it yet, nothing will happen -- no UI feedback at all. That's just one small example of garbage tech.

The digital oven has a map of which dial goes with wihich burner, but the labels/pictograms under each burner are miniscule and require at least reading glasses for her, and even then they're small, and the UI of the dials is still confusing, imo.

Ideas?
I used some generation of Truly Ergonomic for a few years and it started getting repeating/missing characters... at $250 it was too big of an expense for me to rebuy. While it worked though, I was very happy with it
No I wouldn’t. I’d feel gross being so judegemental and thinking so highly and self righteously about myself. I highly doubt the work your company does is blessing the earth with immense positivity.

I highly doubt, just based on sheer numbers and basic data, that the people working at your company are amazing humble people who care so much about the world. I doubt they are concerned with the homeless population and other disenfranchised groups. Vs in your case being all gung ho about the evils of FAANG that you are so above. The number of people who are against the current status quo enough and willing to sacrifice the comforts of their lives to fix the issue are so small. It’s not even a bad thing. That’s a hard thing to do. It’s much easier to point to a couple of big companies and say how evil they are and any one working for them.
If you’re struggling I don’t think you should try to memorize leet code problems, you should try to understand how to apply algorithms.
Ask HN: How to deal with this feeling of dissonance about selling software?
This thread on the front page, "Anyone making a living building desktop applications?" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30027925) hit me pretty hard, especially since I'm currently looking for a new job and struggling to decide what I want to do with life. Of course there are just as many projects that never break a hundred bucks, but seeing all these figures of hundreds to thousands per month on straightforward, no-nonsense software sales makes me feel like I'm wasting my potential.

But the dissonance part is that I'm standing on mountains upon mountains of free software, to the point that it feels difficult to justify selling any of the measly stuff I write. I don't think any other industry is like this. Linux is free. SQLite is free, it's even public domain. My feelings about SQLite are strong enough that I wrote about it last year (https://voussoir.net/writing/sqlite_what_a_hunk). I can't remember the last time I paid for software and I don't know how I could charge someone else for software without feeling like a big poser.

I already know the technical answer, which is that people will pay for something if it adds value to their life. So yeah, I get that. But the idea that my stupid code is worth money when I don't even pay for the stuff that improves my life is difficult to reconcile. You can visit my profile to see what I make.

What are your thoughts?

It's in SF by the Embarcadero. You will write financial trading code. I pay salary plus bonus plus other stuff.

Experience:

- You spent those two years becoming very skillful at some language where you can express invariants/constraints neatly, and know how to structure programs in something like Java, or modern C++ (OCaml, Scala, Rust, whatever, is fine)

- You are the kind of person who spent those two years with very little time road-blocked, i.e. every time you got stuck you found a way out.

- You have a conceptual understanding of low-latency

Lots of people do find the comp attractive, so I find that leading with it hits poor outcomes, so sadly I won't post a job link, but you can either email me and I promise to respond or you can stick something in your profile and I will look tomorrow.
That's not really an activist investor, more like a quarrel over priorities in a boardroom. Carl Icahn, and Bill Ackman are examples of activist investors. The key to being an activist investor is that you have to control enough of the company to be able to make decisions that would greatly change it. A single board seat doesn't really get you much. Secondarily, activist investors are usually seizing control of failing organizations, not successful ones.

> It’s easy to study leet code, and it’s relevant because it shows the interviewer you can write code.

I have a million things I want to learn about. If a potential employer would rather I spend time on what amounts to trivia, then great, I don’t want to work there.

> I’ve had non-leet code interviews, like write some feature in 60minutes.

This is also a problem because it’s impossible to understand the constraints, context, specifications, etc. during this time. When I am asked to implement a feature in the real world, it takes time to understand the domain and context. Writing code is usually the last and easiest bit. It also never occurs that you need to understand and complete something in just an hour or two.

So in leetcode interviews you’re asked to turn on a bunch of knowledge you don’t really need. And in implement this feature interviews, you need to turn off a bunch of important knowledge and experience.

Both are irritating interviews.

The best way to interview, in my experience, is to ask about a project or projects someone has worked on. Even better if there’s time for them to present on it. That way you get a real world picture of their skills, they are comfortable, and you can ask detailed questions without jumping the shark. Further, it is perfectly reasonable for someone to be required to present and answer questions over something they’ve worked on in an hour or two. That does happen in the real world.

I read the comment about the unreliability of economics, however I do like to point one thing, most economical model fit well when the economy is doing ok or within a certain range of parameters, until something outside of those safe area happens. Think of 2008, and think of the economical impact of the pandemic. It's impossible to account for in prior models and thoughts as those are nonlinear events almost no one can predict. This is the thing with economy, we can only know a bit about our position and surroundings, but we have no way of knowing if we are in a local optimum, or if we are approaching a tipping point that invalidates all prior models. There are variables that don't matter until they reach a certain mass, there are metrics we simply can't find quantitive method to measure, let alone to predict. Economics is always messy, and with a lot of the classic thoughts proven wrong, we should be wary of any of the assumptions we make.

The grass is not always greener. Plenty of small companies are also meaningless and have their own set of problems in different ways. Beuracracy is often replaced with toxic management.
This feels like a cheap & easy way to revel in scorching the earth.

If we tried to solve the energy problem at any sizable scale (nuclear or renewable, some of the low-hanging efficiencies available), so many other needs for oil & gas would taper. Prices could be stable or ideally decrease, while production is cut.

We've seen too many instances of electricity getting expensive, gas being a better alternative. We need to do better. I'm not even starting in on engaging what I think is the more contemporary geopolitical influence, the reduction in exports you cite.

Not really. Really no. My wife will be crying during parts of movies and looks over and ask me why I am not crying. She doesn't like my usual response, "This is a movie. None of this is real. They are actors." Also, I don't like watching movies more than once (too much to do, too much to see, too much to read in our short lifetimes to do any of it more than once).
> how does refusing to hire someone _leaving_ one of those companies improve the situation?

It massively improves the situation. The kinds of people who work for these companies now are morally bankrupt. Everyone knows the score going in. They’re smart enough to pass l33t code but dumb enough to not make their own startups.

These are not the kinds of people you build groundbreaking companies with, they’re opportunistic parasites you’d do well to avoid.
And at no point I said they didn't do any conquering and taking freedoms, just like other superpowers that got high on "great game". The paranoia that led to things such as nearly starting preemptive strike in response to Able Archer 83 is well documented though. Great powers don't go for conquering for fun (usually...). They wage wars and atrocities to fulfill the goals as they see them, whether it's ensuring creation of border zones by conquest or making vassals out of border countries, or ensuring they get cheap fruit or ensuring another country doesn't better on literacy tests - none of that excuses the atrocities done.

However understanding the reasoning can help figure out why, what, and how things happened, and it's useful for actually stopping to believe in propaganda and, most importantly, keep seeing the other side as people - even if horrible people (then you might figure out the levers to pull).

As for Carre - I picked it out, because he wrote it better (on basis of his own professional experience, even) than I had the idea for, about believing one's own propaganda.

My younger siblings had this and I had it for one summer before I left home. It really sucked. Maybe it would be better if the parent and living conditions were equal, but that was not the case. So one week you have a nice bed and your own room in a house you know, and the next you are in a bed with bad sheets, in a shared room with siblings in a house you hate. Friends have a whole summer together, but you are only around every other week. You have to readjust to a new routine every other week. One parent made significantly more than the other so one week would be middle class and the next week would be poor. I guess that is better than always, but it was really jarring.
