If I knew Android 12 would be this ugly and annoying I wouldn't have installed the update. What bothers me the most is that I can't opt out of the Material You UI, and it's barely customizable.
Epic Games tried side loading Fortnite on Android, and then went back to the Play Store. Here's their statement:

Google puts software downloadable outside of Google Play at a disadvantage, through technical and business measures such as scary, repetitive security pop-ups for downloaded and updated software, restrictive manufacturer and carrier agreements and dealings, Google public relations characterizing third party software sources as malware, and new efforts such as Google Play Protect to outright block software obtained outside the Google Play store.
Do you think they might be upset when their parents lungs turn to swiss cheese because they brought home covid from school or nah?
In the general sense of media and art consumption, I'm not sure where I stand. Some people refuse to listen to R. Kelly's music. Do his actions as a human change the quality of his output? It's not as if anything can be judged separate from the context within which it arose and the subsequent context within which it was consumed.

Another example, is it bad to watch Birth of a Nation? Does it depend on the creator's intent or the broadcaster's intent or the consumer's intent?

In a similar way, we can't help but view other beings from within our own subjective frame. The levels of abstractive difference from that octopus to my comment are dizzying. Each individual applies another coat of paint to the canvas.

I find research papers bland sometimes, but that is the point. Researchers try to hide their perspective and take on some sort of apreferential objective God view. In that attempt, we get a nutritious, unseasoned chunk of raw tofu. I can eat that sometimes. A lot of the times I want a flavorful, multi-modal umami dish. The person who concocts that sort of meal will inevitably "season to taste". I would be remiss to spit out my first bite, "This is not raw tofu!"

Timezone and management capabilities of your organization could have been an issue in why the pay was so different.

Especially for startups, managing payroll in another country could be challenging. Also the latency on communications for daylight working hours could be bad - back and forth discussions leading to swift actions are hamper by a 9+hr timezone difference.
A 52% correction in price would be a dire situation indeed. A 52% correction in multiple feels like a semblance of sanity is returning.

My boss in the early 2000's told me a story where in the 70's, they would bring in computers from West Germany to Poland, and there were restrictions on how "powerful" they could be due to a ton of restrictions.
So they would get a lot of spare parts with each computer, bought separately, to make them usable as intended.
There are some vegans and vegetarians who subscribe to a "no pain" version of this which allows eating creatures like oysters who verifiably can't feel pain.
It's usually easy to install the stock apps instead, but the Samsung ones often do have advantages. Eg scrolling screenshots was a recent highlight of an Android update but Samsung has had it for years.
You saw correct, but user != human. User = email address. Two NASes, a bug tracker, a CI/CD server, printer, a catch all for either of two domains, it adds up. The combined disk usage is about 3GB, well under the limit for a single user.
That means it's working. The more noise they make, the better. This technology should be ubiquitous.

That seems to hint at something not in the contiguous borders - but Llivia is still on the southern slopes from what I can tell.
My QA found this out recently - he'd accidentally typed a . at the end of the URL for one of our test servers which ended up breaking CORS - it certainly took us a while to figure that one out.

26bps was the recommended adjustment based on historical analysis at the time. The actual spread in the market is not a constant, and has been below 26bps for a long time. The current LIBOR-SOFR spread is around 12bps. It's all negotiated, so people who earn interest are arguing it should be 26bps and people who pay interest are arguing it should be 12 bps. The market seem to be settling on 3M LIBOR = 3M SOFR + 15-20bps.
This. As someone who works remotely and loves it, I’ve observed this on HN for years. It’s like engineers can’t (or won’t?) acknowledge that other roles in an organization go beyond staring at lines of code on a computer screen.

Hell, even product managers I know like coming in to an office to collaborate on the big whiteboard wall they can’t fit inside their home.
We are going on over two decades of almost continuous quantitative easing, starting with Greenspan after the dot-com burst, going nuclear under Paulson/Bernanke in 2008/9, and then continuing to increase over the past decade and a half.

I don't know what this market is but I have no confidence that the past 50 years of growth can be sustained in this environment. We're already seeing the impact of cheap money everywhere, with an economy built on continuously increasing asset valuations. It's come to such a point that even the slightest economic contraction must be avoided or it risks triggering the same collapse that was avoided by the narrowest of margins in 2008.

I don't want to be pessimistic. I want to be optimistic. I'm just running out of ideas for which rabbit can be pulled out of a hat to keep this charade going for another 20 years.

If the jpeg is irrelevant, shouldn’t all NFTs from the same contract cost the same? If it’s just a club membership, why would people buy multiple NFTs from the same contract?
I’m just surprised it doesn’t turn them all into AMP links.
While I agree with your comments and find them very true, it must be said that widening the talent pool means hiring high skilled professionals for the same or less money. The remote penalty can be offset by a stronger team in a cost effective way.
That is very nice, maybe in future you can have a non-commercial use version for a lower free / fee?
That is already possible with just a weight axis. The benefit is a lot more flexibility in design and layout, plus just a preference. The Iosevka font also being discussed here today is on the narrow side, while Source Code Pro is slightly wider and Courier even more so. Inconsolata can cover all these and more.
what effective actions are being ignored?
But Twitter has this annoying tendency to cancel the accounts of people who say things they don't agree with, irrespective of whether those things are true.
Doesn’t it do the same on Wi-Fi? There’s a feature that intentionally does this too, “Wi-Fi assist”
> you no longer have a control group if you're at all ethical.

> You cannot keep a working treatment from people just to do more science, that is deeply and fundamentally unethical.

I see this position put out there a lot and generally go unchallenged. For the record some people think the opposite: that it was unethical to unblind the placebo group so early. At the time you could estimate that continuing the placebo group might lead to ~60 unnecessary deaths from Covid-19 and a few hundred more serious cases. That is in the lucky scenario where the early success held. But in all scenarios, in return for a few dozen volunteers risking their lives, billions of people would benefit from randomized, placebo-controlled trial data which the NIH itself calls the "gold standard" as to "whether or not a treatment is safe and effective".

IMO the harms we have gone through from flying in the dark (people underhyping/overhyping the vaccines), multiplied by the number of people involved, make this a case where unblinding was unethical. It is very easy to imagine that far more life was lost in the general population from being in the dark than was saved by unblinding the volunteer study population.

(There's also the issue of whether or not it would have been practical to keep the participants blinded. I think that's a challenging topic of its own orthogonal to the ethical question.)
You can still make 3 or more copies of data, so only if the plates are damaged in exactly same spots, data wont be recoverable.

Which is why I mentioned the convenience functions that come with doom. You're right of course but I wasn't trying to imply that doom couldn't be used as a framework.
There have been articles about truck driver shortages running for years, decades even.

https://money.cnn.com/2010/06/09/news/economy/truck_driver_s...

https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna6769594 - "A 1997 study by the American Trucking Association concluded that 82,000 new truckers were needed ... This shortage is making it more difficult for trucking companies to grow and contributing to higher costs for shippers."

Maybe it's not about trucker supply.
This post is kind of involved.

No, you shouldn't be made to feel unhappy; or rather, you should push back harder against anyone who tries to effectuate that. Being sorta Stoic here: no one can "make" you feel anything.

It's none of their business, after all.
Sure, but not high on the list of priorities. How about enabling people to get healthcare, go to college, or to survive by addressing global warming.
My first thought would be compounding any of the comorbidities that are already correlated with low socioeconomic status.
Weird. My kid's school had a wild community spread right after the holidays. The owner basically informed me that because one kid's dad is a surgeon and he says it's ok (the same kids mom is an ICU nurse and disagrees completely), then they're not doing anything. In fact, she told me that it wasn't a big deal and everyone was going to get it anyway (her staff was the point of initial infection) so it didn't matter. Basically, chicken pox party rules. My four year old is disappointed but opted to not get covid instead of going to school (along with about half her class).

She has chosen to make this sacrifice for herself. Perhaps this is an artifact of how we discuss science and risk.
School is also child care/babysitting.

A huge article on bad architecture and not a single picture of any example of said bad architecture.
I think the design choice is mine to own but, as with most OSS software, liability rests on the end user. It always sucks to see a bug cause so much grief to other folks.

As for HashiCorp, they're an awesome group of folks. There are few developers I esteem higher than their CTO, Armond Dadger. Wicked smart guy. That all being said, there's a lot of moving parts and sometimes bugs get through. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's a similar issue in new suburban neighbourhood, where the same floor plan is copied and pasted down a whole street, yet the house on the corner lot lacks windows on wall facing the perpendicular street... It's so disheartening to see.
Looks like both of her parents were Pilots and she has been flying since she was 6.
It's handy sometimes, but I think it starts looking worse the further from Scheme you travel. Even in Common Lisp it's probably too far, but with a Lisp-1 you get some really pretty high-level abstractions. Of course I find I don't miss them very much, but they sure are fun.
Did Apple claim it would impact sandboxing? I don't think they did.

A realistic example: today if your iOS app wants to track users, it must go through AppTrackingTransparency.framework, which allows the user to opt-out, and use the device’s advertising identifier which the user may reset.

Of course this cannot be enforced by the kernel; it's enforced by App Store review. Sideloaded apps would presumably not be subject to this rule.
It's exponential growth. They don't have to be transparent for the world to know if they contained it or not.
Based on the verified checkmark, I'd assume there's some minimum ad spend to retain ownership of the nft?

I just got through this one and was having the same block as you, took me a while to connect the dots. There's a step missing, take a look at some possible encodings before you decompress. Hope that helps without giving too much away, good luck!
It's on the front page of HN so it's pretty visible. However, I also use f5bot to notify on terms like "boltdb" and my other project "litestream".
No. Apple rejects almost anything from project Fugu as it pretty much closes all gaps between the web and native apps. It would violate their idea of the app store, not just in revenue, but also in control, deeper integration with apple-only features, etc.

Their excuse is "security". Which is funny as native apps do the exact same thing and more, often without dedicated permissions.

Mozilla also rejects most of it and joins Apple in claiming its due to security. It's speculation, but I think they really don't have the resources anymore to build such massive features and conveniently spin it into something good for the user.
Nginx and Apache handle this just fine, as does Google's, Microsoft's and Facebook's infra.

It's only hipster services such as traefik and caddy that can't handle this. There's a long standing bug on the caddy bugtracker for this, which got closed as wontfix: working as intended.
I think enums should be avoided for a few reasons not described in the article (some of them are mentioned in other comments here).

1) Enums have a unique (and, imo, mostly undesirable) model for interacting with the rest of the type system, which isn't what you'd naively expect. If you try to treat an enum like an object-literal (`as const`) when it comes to type-level manipulation you're going to have a bad time.

2) Implicit numeric enums (i.e. the ones most people use by default because they require the least amount of typing) make adding new values a _backwards-breaking change_ if you insert them before existing values, and you send them over the wire. Let me repeat that: adding new values to an existing enum is a _breaking change_.

3) Giving a field or parameter an enum type will not actually cause the Typescript compiler to complain if you put in a value that's not part of the enum! Example:

```
enum Fruit {
APPLE,
BANANA
}

interface FruitSalad {
base: Fruit
}

const salad: FruitSalad = {
base: 5
};
```

Assigning `5` to `base` (which, you might expect, would only accept `Fruit.APPLE` and `Fruit.BANANA` - and perhaps even `0` and `1` as valid values) is in fact something that the compiler will let through without complaint.

4) Debugging is a headache, since reverse-mapping them gives you... a number.

You might say that most of these problems are solved by using string enums - sure, but then why not use an object literal instead? To save yourself from needing to write a single additional type definition? IMO, that is not worth the issues you run into with respect to the first problem.
We all do risk assessment differently. My wife is immunocompromised. My kid is four. We justify our decisions by accepting that being cautious is a safe choice. Mommy can get really sick and our kid is too young to get a vaccination.
For example the way fonts are implemented in doom is really clean and covers edge cases. I also borrowed the `set-repl` and some code to autoinsert some things. Doom's core modules have a lot of good ideas wrt making configuration easier.
Historically, those taxes had been used to pay for wars and other acts that were used to spread Castillian in regions it was not spoken. Both in the Peninsula and South America.

Nowadays, taxpayers money funds institutions that preserve and promote Castillian.

Maybe don’t try to kill languages and life support won’t be needed.

Also, it makes more sense to spend in preserving something fragile than to promote something already popular and strong.

I am inclined to think it is not the taxpayers money that you are after
I'm surprised this isn't brought up more when talking about taking companies remote. Even in the US it's a huge amount of work to set up separate legal entities across different states to deal with taxes if you want to hire remote engineers across the country.
Bringing the best education materials to the most widely used environment, and language doesn't seem very difficult to understand.

Is there any tutorial on how go get a pref report like the one show in this screenshot? https://blog.roblox.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/3-perf-re...
It depends. I’ve managed major incidents with hundreds of participants.

Our major incident process generally had a “suit” call with non-technical executives and people who would be coordinating customer triage, outreach, etc. Then we would have a tech bridge where the key stakeholders did their thing.

We used the Federal incident command system as a model. It’s a great reference point to use as an inspiration.
My favourite quote on the matter:

But claiming there is no ‘safe’ level does not seem an argument for abstention. There is no safe level of driving, but government do not recommend that people avoid driving.

Come to think of it, there is no safe level of living, but nobody would recommend abstention.

I understand why they want to dispel the persistent myth that alcohol can be good for you, but do they have to do it by employing their own vacuous statements? Tell people what the extra risk of drinking a daily glass of wine is, then they can make their own mind up on whether to take that risk or not.

Such empty discourse absent of falsifiable statements is more damaging to our society than a glass of wine ever could be.
You're technically correct but missing the point. Past hubris is a warning that we are capable of similar hubris.

What we can say is our current model of the universe does not allow for any practical travel beyond the speed of light.
By walled garden I think they mean the servers. Because the app isn't a walled garden. It is open source though centralized (Moxie has argued extensively about how this allows faster development. Though ironically Signal is known for slow development). But the servers are also open sourced so there's nothing stopping people from creating private (or even federated) "Signal" apps. You just couldn't call it Signal in name. And I don't blame Signal for keeping their servers to themselves. They're not a data center and already running a tight ship.

I've never really understood the argument. Just because someone hasn't done something doesn't mean it is a walled garden.
Don't congregate indoors in large groups. That's it.

Amateur hockey teams are still playing hockey in Canada. Most sports are fine, just without spectators. Prom wearing a mask isn't exactly a burden.

Again, kids are depressed because the disease exists, not because they're being asked to deal with it. Telling kids to go wild isn't going to make covid less depressing. That would probably kill a few teachers in outbreaks.

Yes, it sucks. Spreading an extremely virulent disease also sucks. Schools have a responsibility to not encourage the spread of covid.
Can I have it please? I feel like I could put it to good use
I agree, but I'm not optimistic at all. Mostly because we're seeing these issues without even trying to tackle the real elephant in the room: climate change. Carbon taxes, real costs of energy... So many negative externalities that don't show up on a companies quarterly report but will eventually (hopefully).
If we're being fair, it's 500k too much.
Your code will fail sometimes. You’ll fix it.

That isn’t isn’t remotely how passing laws in a democracy works. I can push a fix to prod in minutes (or in the worst case, days) and it rarely if ever affects peoples’ lives in the way that laws do.

In contrast, passing new laws and updating existing laws is (by design) an arduous process in a democracy. There are things that can and should be improved about the ways that we accomplish this, but it will never be (and really shouldn’t be) fast and easy.

Sometimes I just want to ignore HN entirely because of embarrassing comments like this. “Code works this way, so everything should work this way!”
There are no democracies existing anywhere in the world.

Every single country that claims it is a "Democracy" is actually an "Oligarchy".

SCIP uses an amount of high-level functions that are frankly ridiculous outside of a very functional language. Hell, maybe even outside of a Lisp-1. That's not to say that Scheme is the best language (probably not in my top 5), but there are better languages than javascript for SCIP, and better programming methods than SCIP for javascript.

That also happens when county prosecutors are up for re-election. Stack charges in case the jury finds one claim weak, there are 5 synonyms for the same underlying crime that the jury is willing to convict on. Also helps with forcing plea bargains.
Equal pay globally would mean less pay for Silicon Valley tech workers and more pay for Chinese/Indian/Eastern European devs.
We often say "trust the science" when we agree with the conclusions of a study, and "question authority" when we don't. The phrase "trust, but verify" is an appealing middle ground, but isn't it really a euphemism for "I don't believe you yet"?
Very respectfully disagree; but long or short, this looks really bad:

This isn't an ideal language for doing this stuff. The Scheme version is completely transparent about what you're doing; whereas this kind of language makes you work through a thick veil of abstractions.

(This line doesn't occur in the Scheme version, but the analog would be (quote (let ((size 2)) (* size 5))). Which would you rather debug?)
Nobody seems really willing to tackle improving remote learning.
