The billionaire stock owner in your example's economic power has increased by 10x regardless though. They can borrow against that money and those funds aren't taxed - so they can effectively spend it without taxation.

They can cycle debt to avoid ever having to sell a single share for their entire life, at rates more favorable than any middle class person has access to.

We can fix our tax code with legislation to address this loophole, our politicians just don't have the will to do this currently (largely because many of them amass fortunes through stocks and insider tips, IMO).
I could also see myself in Mexico City since I already speak Spanish pretty fluently, and have far more friends who expatriated there, but I really wanted to learn Russian and Berlin has much better resources for foreign language instruction.
I do use Lineage base OSes and I'm really thanksfull to its contributors allowing me to extend the life of my devices for years, but there is still a tradeoff in term of security, the firmware blobs which are closed source cannot be updated so those do not receive any security update. Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about that without forcing manufacturer to open source those blobs or maintain their hardware for longer periods of time.
Try `--no-check` when using `--watch` and you already get type errors from your IDE. Should speed up hot reload and hot restarts significantly :-)
Yes, using a hook is optimal. But when reading repos without a style guide or formater, “pretty diffing” makes it easier to review.

Another use case is when you encounter that giga god-commit “added formater” which touched all lines in all files.

If you take this even further, you can tailor to anyones style taste, formatting on check out instead of check in. That leaves the stored code as a serialization format the compiler understands. Viewed code is in whatever format the programmer likes.

Or improving updates. Why can my Linux distro not care what model I whatever I have but every bit of android is specifically tailored to that exact phone model
Unrelated, but I think the latest Android update is ghastly and I have no way of changing back to how it looked before. I'm all for progressive design but some of the new UI changes (for example the clock app which I use every day) make it way less usable for me.
It seems like companies are really having a hard time understanding that people are not going to just take financial hits out of loyalty to a company anymore. Companies still appear to be of the mindset that they can give small cost of living increases and people will stick around for years in hopes of getting promoted. With inflation at 9%, getting a 20% raise after 2 years with a promotion essentially just sets you back at your starting salary with more work and responsibility. Why would anyone stick around for that? Plus there are only so many positions available to be promoted into, statistically the odds are not good for most. Coupled with the fact that companies are very open that they have zero loyalty to any employee below c-suite, its not really surprising people are only keeping jobs for a couple years before being forced to look somewhere else.
The comment you're replying to stated the dynamics evolve, and that is true.

In my own reading of the movie, while Jack learns nothing and even earns a reprieve, Miles does evolve -- though painfully and at the very end of the movie. He finally lets go of his ex wife, realizing she's definitely out of reach and committed to a new family now that she's pregnant. He also lets go of his book dream, and also the drinking of his prized bottle signals -- albeit in a humorously depressing manner -- his finally letting go of everything that got him stuck.

In my mind his walking up Maya's stairs is a symbol of a hopeful new beginning. Because this is a dark comedy/drama, it's not immediately obvious everything will work out well, but at least there's hope.

Still a hack, but perhaps symlinks could be a little simpler?
Tax laws are confusing, alot of people think that since they made more they are in a new tax bracket and every dollar they made is subject to the new higher tax bracket rate. This is incorrect, every dollar made at and above that high tax bracket is subject to that higher tax rate, every dollar made below is subject to the previous tax bracket.(and this is after 401k and other tax writeoffs).

I didn't use it, but it looks to me like one of the main draws of foobar2000 was library/metadata management. I've only ever used directories in the filesystem as a "library," and have used many players over the years (mainly moc, which I love, but which doesn't bring anything especially valuable to the table--I mainly just like the UI and out-of-box key commands).

Thus, to me, as an outsider, this whole conversation feels a bit like a cautionary tale about software/vendor lock-in.
The 5 years for Pixel are for security updates only. OS updates are still 3 years. IMHO it's still too low, but it's a (small) step up.
At least with our DB we tokenize protected information, so all you have in the database is a GUID, the actual sensitive information is stored elsewhere.
A new year’s resolution: Moving away from Google – by Kamil Sulubulut
This excuse doesn't hold much water anymore since the Pixel 6 is based on Google's own SoC, yet it also only offers 3 years of Android version updates.

Why can't Google do like Apple and offer many years of version updates? The iPhone 6s is still running the latest version of iOS.
The rank percentile is a great suggestion and after that take the average rank I guess?

Ratings per year is a possibility.

My 5X died in my pocket before a year of usage. Just died and wouldn't turn on. I called support and they said to ship it out, and I would have a new one in about a week. Never mind 1) phones shouldn't just randomly die, and 2) a week without a phone??? Switched to iPhone and never looked back.
I don't know much about Fuschia. I'd be surprised, though, if updatability wasn't a major concern. Part of why I don't know much about it, though, is that AFAIK it's 64-bit only, and the MCUs we run are 32-bit affairs.

In theory I should do the same thing with investments. It’s hard to avoid checking daily, even though I don’t trade very often.

I would not agree that one cannot change the class definition as it really depends on the system one is writing. I change class definitions on daily basis in business line applications. If I would be making frameworks then maybe I would not do that so often.
At a certain point, you start to see the elites continue to amass incomprehensible quantities of wealth while
making their employees piss in bottles and drive into tornadoes. It’s a completely different gap than competing for a job or a raise with another candidate or coworker. I believe this is what is meant by “The Great Robbery”.
On the other hand, sometimes you just need someone to do it first.

Polymorphism and dynamic dispatch don't equate to an object system in and of themselves.

At minimum, I'd say an object system needs some form of messaging and state hiding. That is, an object holds hidden state, and responds to external messages.

I think two of the biggest falsehoods many people seem to believe about finances is that one, you don't want to move up in tax brackets because then you will suddenly be making less money. And two, that somehow businesses and business owners can just "write off" expenses so that those expenses don't actually cost them any money.

There are a few edge cases where these can be technically true but they are rare and limited in scope and magnitude.
LineageOS supports the Google Pixel 3 with LineageOS 18.1 (aka Android 11). It's definitely worth giving this a shot and you can revert to the standard Google release if you'd like. Word of warning on Verizon devices, though. If you bought from Verizon, they generally place an OEM lock on it. So, the device is "unlocked" in terms of carrier, but locked in terms of OS. Don't buy Pixels from Verizon.

"Dangerous", what is the danger exactly?
Interesting project. I've been wondering about contoured keywells for some time, especially after my finger joints started hurting after long typing sessions. I regularly switch between keyboards now to relieve the repetitive stress on each finger, which works quite well. Now might be the time to get a more ergonomic keyboard, though.
Honestly I think this is the real issue: batteries barely last three years and when they start to go things go strange and people blame the phone rather than replace the battery. I expect somewhere inside Google they grok that supporting a phone beyond three years becomes the root cause problem being dying batteries.

Ask HN: Are there remote finance/banking software jobs in the UK?
Currently working at an American bank in London as a VP-level software engineer/tech lead/team lead.

I like the job but the mandatory in-office attendance (now that covid is ending) has become a bit of a deal breaker for me.

Previously worked full-time in the office, but the last two years have really shown me how much better my life is wfh. Absolutely dreading the return to the daily commute. Also got a first child on the way and would love to see them grow up!

Unfortunately the bank is not very open to permanent wfh, for the usual variety of reasons like "in-person energy" despite most colleagues being in India or the US (so effectively remote to me).

Are there any banks or buy-side firms which allow/appreciate fully-remote?

What sort of compensation is attainable?

Keen to hear your experiences.
Interesting.

Congrats on saving 50%. Does that get split into investments or is it all in a traditional savings account?
I love Panic and almost everything they do. I've bought many of their products and Coda was the first IDE-ish thing I've ever used. I love Coda but then I needed more powerful tools and Coda didn't cut it. Before Code 2 came out I had already move off them completely. I really wanted to like Nova and I hope others love it but I don't think I can go back from Intelij/IDEA. Best of luck to Panic in all their endeavors though, Transmit is my favorite app of theirs right now.

Never heard of it. Added to my list. Thanks for mentioning it!
Because they haven’t adjusted the amounts for the tax brackets with inflation. So it’s a double whammy. Your money is worth less, even though you got more of it. And now Uncle Sam is taking more of it.
I still do this. Is that a problem? Tungsten weights break easily and cost much more while having less SKU available
A lot of places do have something like that, and even if you didn't, you could just make sure no official equipment has any wireless capability, and ban connecting any outside electronics to any official equipment.
I think they mean if you are 1% away from a new tax bracket and get a 5% raise, 4% of that is at the higher tax bracket. So while you still make more money you make less than you would have if the entire 5% were in the lower bracket.
Wish you weren't downvoted, it's a valid question (if not beaten to death).

I highly recommend the movie By Dawn's Early Light if you haven't seen it. I will offer no spoilers.
> OTOH, I think Webb is amazing, and fairly, perhaps without the marketing it wouldn't even exist because of all the American deficit hawks.

It's just like everything else in life. You can build the best product in the world but it won't make a damn bit of impact on people's lives unless you let them know it exists. Marketing your product is just as important to its success as the product itself.
That’s fair, I never had the fortune to live in pre 9/11 America as an adult, so I lack that perspective.

I share a lot of your perspectives too, but I’m pretty content with my little corner up in the PNW.
I've still got a pixel 2 and it works swimmingly. Sometimes the 4k video stops recording and sometimes there's a bit of slow down but it hasn't convince me to change devices just yet.
Or if teams are uncommunicative you can end up with not getting a usable response on concerns raised, need to march at some point and without feedback you decide to march in the direction that seems most reasonable to you. Later on it turns out that was right into the swamp.
>2) a week without a phone???

Does Apple give you a replacement before sending in your existing phone?

Maybe in the US, on Apple's homeland, but I doubt they do this in the EU. Would be cool if they did though.

Whenever I upgrade phones, I still keep my previous device around so that when I had to send my last gen to the service, I can always quickly switch to the previous one for a couple of weeks until it's back
That is a very regressive state. I know they have the desire to pay for roads, but I suspect they just blow a good part on 'general revenue' = no longer accountable.
More accurately, to make it more noticeable to sensors or alter it's signature (eg. the sine waves on the wings probably aren't just for looks).
What "support" does Google need from Qualcomm after three years beyond driver/firmware blobs, which three years into a SoC's lifetime should be pretty stable?

We're talking about a company that maintains its own fork of the Linux kernel with something like 19,000 patches against mainstream. Anything not in a blob should be easily within their abilities to address.

Also, Nexus and Pixel devices have a long history of software and hardware problems, many of which are immediately obvious within a day or two of devices hitting people's mailboxes, and are never fixed over the life of the phone. It's not like google seems to be picking up the phone very often to talk to Qualcomm for support, even during a device's development, much less after?

The Pixel line jumped the shark when Google started permanently carrier-locking phone bootloaders for Verizon.

Speaking from experience, tenure isn't enough. The federal government needs to cutoff the indirect funds money siphon because the problems don't end with tenure.

Doing so would be painful but would force universities to be real about their priorities.

Increasing available funds without changing the system will just increase the scope of the pyramid scheme without changing anything. You have to do both.
Heh. Not going to comment on Apple Watch for obvious reasons, but I will say that we measure free memory in 10s or 100s of bytes on most of our older products. Even a single GB would be amazing, but also amazingly expensive.
Sure, I'm more than happy to debate if The Martian is Sci-Fi or not. I actually don't feel offended about that at all. I disagree that it's not but certainly not offended. I was offended, actually annoyed but whatever, to suggest that The Martian couldn't inspire anyone because it's was practical in it's approach. I've watched it inspire my son, I've personally been inspired. It's clearly dismissive of the work and that is frustrating and annoying to me.

Possibly the best youtube comment ever made:

Its good to note that sometimes "it makes God angry" is not a TERRIBLE answer. Maybe X or Y act does on average create worse results for a person/group/society that aren't immediately apparent or obvious, but people managed to figure out via correlation or even evolutionary pressure (the groups that refused to eat pork lived longer and had more kids). Recognizing that X or Y on average causes a worse outcome for reasons you dont understand isnt a terrible thing.

Using the "sail the uncharted sea makes god angry" example.

Maybe that particular parts of the ocean has sea monsters (dangerous animals), and lots of whirlpools, and lots of poisonous fish that kill you if you eat them, and pirates.

People short hand that to "going there makes God angry" because they know people don't come back and when they do come back its in worse condition. But its never quite the same root cause. (hence why they blame god, and not the pirates for example) So there is no easy one answer unless theres concrete efforts to add together the stories of the guy who got attacked by pirates, the guy who had a run in with a giant squid, the guy who got poisoned, and the guy who almost drowned in a whirlpool.

You'd be pretty foolish to ignore the "god will get angry" warning, if you go there. You might have heard one or even two of the dangers, but not all of them that push the risk profile so high. Thats where Chestertons fence becomes useful and says you should be the person that gets all the stories together and realizes the real dangers and not dismiss the "god will get angry" warning off hand.
I wouldn't necessarily "hang" a first-time offender, but I'd definitely be wary, and cautious of how much I'll trust them in the future. Personally, I'm not a fan of making statements that say "I'll never again buy/use such-and-such a service or product". I might be willing to consider using their software again in the future. (I'm speaking in the context of this argument, since I've never actually used ImageGlass.)

Regarding crime, there a lot of behaviors that aren't legally defined as crimes, but are still objectionable (sometimes very). As such, there is no court to prosecute them with the legal system's presumably objective processes, so it's up to the general public to make our own assessments.

Finally, I'm curious as to your level of tolerance to questionable, unexpected behavior by software developers. Maybe not this one, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were certain actions by software developers where you wouldn't tolerate even a single offense. In any case, our differences regarding tolerance to questionable behavior is why we're all discussing this incident anyway.

So this is for quickly training different architectures for the same task? Which is very neat, but it makes the headline seem a lot more like click-bait (I'm not sure what I expect these days...)

Ads will bs served regardless. The user is likely interested in seeing relevant ads that suit their interests. The privacy impact is minimal.
If the client/reader can easily decode it then a motivated cheater/attacker can easily decode it.

Something like homomorphic encryption or a trusted enclave on the client could work here but unless there's money involved that's probably gross overkill.

I'd go with the server-side solution and API personally but if I had to pick a mechanism for client-side I'd probably do something like AES encryption with a generated key. The actual secret would look like garbage and the key wouldn't show up anywhere on the wire so the attacker would have to actually reverse engineer the key generator.

All that said most of the "attacks" I've seen on the wordle problem just optimize the guessing strategy which is way easier than trying to figure out de-obfuscation of the secret.
We've created a mess of legal jurisdiction and geography that is difficult to reconcile with globally distributed systems.

BC and Clearview both have a point. But which jurisdiction is in play? Is it the one where the person lives or where the picture was taken? Was it the company that took the picture, one of a dozen networks in play, the one that transmitted it to a server, or the one that aggregated it into a database, or the one that sold the data? There could be 20 countries involved.

Laws really need to catch up to the tech which has far outpaced them.
