I share one of the most enduring things I learned from grad school.

In my second year I was teaching in an autotutorial class where we were working together to help students learn. We were overloaded one of the first nights of the semester and, in front of other people, I criticized a first year grad student (a woman) for what I thought was a poor prioritization of her work. She really "lost her shit" and broke down and cried and I felt really bad about it.

The next day the department head took me aside and explained to me that people find public criticism to be deeply humiliating and that he had learned that lesson himself the hard way. He told me that next time I have a problem like that I should take the person aside and give my criticism privately. I told him, "Yeah, you're right, I feel bad about what happened."

This guy who offended her might have made one of the lamest passes of all time. Despite that, he might have spent weeks building up his courage to do it. He is opening his heart and showing real emotional vulnerability. He's probably got no idea of how to approach somebody in a way that might be effective. He's possibly afraid he's going to grow old and be alone unless he ends up like this guy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sorrows_of_Young_Werther

Women believe that love is going to come to them but almost all men face the burden of making an approach and it's a really difficult thing to do that somebody might not have empathy for unless they've experienced it themselves.

It's predictable therefore, that somebody would experience it as deeply wounding that their private failure be turned into a public humiliation that could be witnessed by thousands or more people. It was bad behavior before but the stakes are vastly magnified in the age of social media. All of the time people in relationships or on the edge of relationships say humiliating things about other people on social media and it's a deeply hurtful form of bullying.

The lady involved might well think her actions were justified because "the personal is political" but I'm sure the people who made death threats would agree that their (unjustifiable) actions are justified by the same slogan.

Posting that kind of thing to twitter speaks negatively about her character. Whoever flagged this post was doing her a favor.

If was a potential employer I'd be afraid of her saying something about me, her coworkers, my customers, my vendors, etc. She might do the same thing to a boyfriend or girlfriend.

I can think of one time when a guy said something stupid to a girl at a conference, the kind of "joke" that they turn on the laugh track for on The Big Bang Theory but that isn't funny when you really say it. The girl tweeted about it and started a big controversy -- they both got fired. Your employer doesn't send you to a conference to create a huge amount of trouble.
Depending on what you want to do, you can either choose an industry with very fuzzy requirements (to stay near the programming side) or one with very complex but with strict requirements (to benefit from those coding robots). I guess we will need simulators for most of what we do in order to train those robots.

I wrote one, as a consultant, because nothing existed.

Captured time, tasks, and held key/values for documentation.

Every task was assigned, never open, and timecards were auto generated (and emailed to management)
It only appears incoherent because you might have conflated two issues in your response (wealth gap and plight of immigrants). Not saying you did it intentionally.

Regarding immigrants, you need to meet more of them to get a better idea. The situation in US is much worse than most western countries. I encourage you to read up on why it is such a massive political issue (Obama's attempted reforms and executive orders, Dreamers, Path to citizenship etc.). Here is one example: https://www.cato.org/blog/150-year-wait-indian-immigrants-ad...
A North Korean law was probably broken. North Korea could ask the US to send him over to stand trial and the US could agree or ignore the request. No legal framework exists between the two countries so the US isn't forced to send them.

Things don't start becoming a crime until laws exist.
The law is buggy, and Wild West banks that issue their own currency are rampant without a sheriff to handle misconduct. I wonder how many $B it will take to put into stable shape. Took a long time to create solid central banks whose currency could be widely trusted.
Another way to frame it is that these models still perform very poorly at the task they're designed to do. Imagine if real programmer needed to write a solution a hundred times before they were able to achieve (average) performance. You'd probably wonder if it was just blind luck that got them to the solution. You'd also fire them. What these models are very good at doing is plagiarizing content, so part of me wonders if they aren't just copying previous solutions with slight adjustments.
So a closed source Javascript codebase was taken, a bit beautified, and made open source under a different licence? Also using the same name?

I don't know what you mean by "RESF".
While mixing 250 million dollars is near impossible in the short run, you could easily mix a million dollars a month every month for the next 10 years. Mixers aren't a full proof way to obscure funds but the FBI has outright admitted that it's nigh impossible to track it down.

Furthermore there are decentralized mixers that run on Ethereum so it's no longer possible to go after the operators of mixing services. tornado.cash has billions of dollars available to mix with which is more than enough to obscure millions of dollars worth of ETH at a time.
It's not so much a controversy as just going back to produce a version of the game as close to as was released in its native market. Nintendo in the 80s and 90s had a strict policy of not publishing games with explicit violence or gore (Mortal Kombat on SNES famously has no red blood like the Genesis version), or overt religious references (Castlevania games had some crosses removed).
How much money flows into crypto each month?
I didn't say that. I'm saying there are many ways of hiding short positions.
Nice job, reminds me of the countdown numbers game with a twist of wordle.
Real talk, sorry.

> I didn't say I'd give up sex. Only long term committed relationships.

You should try talking to other guys who have attempted this. If porn is distracting you, you're probably not going to go for women your age*. Past 40 or so, unless you're outstandingly rich or a 10, you're just not what young women are looking for.

My guess is, you're going to end up paying a lot for sex, you're going to fall into another relationship without intent, or you're going to die lonely. Probably an undesirable combination of the three. And single guys die early.

* and, you mentioned that lust & passion have fallen off. Stop watching the porn, man, you're spoiling your dinner with pork rinds and complaining that you aren't hungry.
> You consider "being unbiased" as a default in a world where most people are biased.

Again, it's not about being default, it's about not being possible to prove, which you asked for in your original post. The number of people or publications being 1% or 99% is irrelevant. If someone is biased, it's trivial to point out how, and if they're not, it's impossible to prove so. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot

> Note that we speak about "real world" proofs (preponderance of evidence etc.), not pure abstract mathematical logic which cannot be applied fully in real, messy human society.

This I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean. Logic is basically a flow chart where things either follow or don't. It's absolutely applicable to real world messy human society.

My completely subjective opinion is that at the highest levels of math, there are only a handful of people that are even capable of peer reviewing, and their time is in high demand.

Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem is like 120 pages long and he first delivered it disguised as a class to a bunch of grad students who barely understood any of it and hence gave no feedback. Because this is Fermat's Last Theorem which is famous, eventually people in the math community that understood Wiles's work reviewed it and found an error. Had it been a 120 page proof of some not famous problem like random chessboard thought experiments, it probably could go years without anyone seriously looking at it.
The performance appears to be superior due to a large proportion of the driving is done on easy environment.
Also, accessibility is going to take quite a hit if developers favor canvas UI libraries over (re)generating DOM elements.
No offense but why would I care at all what a non-American thinks? They are not governed by this law and so have 0 say in what it should be since it is not a rights violation. I am only sorry you all live with such a lack of a basic right and find it normal.

From the other perspective: gun rights are under constant attack from fearmongering media and I find that bonkers. All it takes is one (1) psycho POS shooting up a school for the media to run a month of coverage claiming that everybody should now lose a fundamental right. Ffs most people agree that criminal activity doesn't justify violating everybodys rights (like police state measures), why is this specifically different? Because the media machine works for a political class that wants a disarmed and castrated electorate.

Theres been a creeping advance against these rights since the 1930s with the NFA passing and gun grabbers have been constantly demanding more for these 100 years with small concessions then larger infringements, racheting toward less gun rights, slowly but surely hellbent on taking away our weapons. Most of this is enabled by bullshit judicial activism that twists 2a for matters of convenience and political ends.
> I didn't mean to come across confrontational

Me neither :)

> Job searching doesn't work that way - if it goes well you'll end up with a bunch of offers that you'll need to accept or reject them within some time frame

In that situation, I would be ready to accept leaving in a few months. I would prefer to wait, but not if it brings salaries down significantly.

> It's always good to be employable, have relevant skills, be able to interview well etc. - this applies to good and bad markets.

That's good advice. I'll keep looking, but there's a difference between keeping an eye on the market and preparing to leave quickly.

Their comment was that they also got to work weekends.
In ethereum code is law.

That may be so, but in all real-world countries law is law, so it's reasonable to describe these actions as "stealing".

The value of Ethereum is not that it suddenly becomes moral to steal money from people. Or at least, that statement will have to be true if we want the real-world legal authorities to happily coexist with Ethereum.
I can't tell if you are serious or joking. If you are a 38 year old man, I apologize for the concern.

I wanted a life expectancy that was evenly divisible by ten. A 42 year old woman and a 38 year old man both have a life expectancy of 40 years based on the actuarial table I found. I played the odds and chose a 38 year old man for the example.
$10M is a LOT, I wonder how he will trust them to pay. Once they get their coins back people can change minds.
Yes, which is a problem. Amazon employees have been watching themselves get steady, significant raises via stock vesting for years, but AMZN flattened out in mid-2020 and the company's done very little to account for that, so everybody's raises have started to dry up.
> Student drivers (with an instructor in the car, and secondary controls) have very few accidents [...] because every mistake is saved by the instructor

Is that the only reason? I suspect that many (most) student drivers are also in general more alert, drive slower, and follow each rule/guideline to an extreme. If they don’t the instructor will probably end the lesson and remove a dangerous driver of the road.
Yep. Everything is delightful but nothing works.
Targeting dads specifically might be kinda like all the resources out there specifically for mums? Why not put this out there for parents?

I’m increasingly aware of my insecurities (largely thanks to The Blindboy Podcast, which started as a book promo and then mental-health-for-men and now it’s for everyone, he says, after growing up a bit more), and I’m more willing to read and learn from advice targeted at women, and not take it personally that I’m not included.

Maybe dadditude will be another bridge to better parenting in general, to help us grow up so our actual and ideal selves overlap.
> Art is what we teach our kids is the most valuable thing. The Disney movie Coco is about a boy from a family of shoemakers who wants to blow them off and be a musician. Disney will never, ever make a movie about a musician who dreams of making shoes. Even though, well, try going a week without music and then a week without shoes and see which is more necessary.
> Ubuntu should be the default these days.

I have had nothing but abysmal experiences with ubuntu on desktops and laptops over the years. It's a combination of the general jankiness of desktop linux and their poor design choices. If Windows is lipstick on a pig, Ubuntu is a dress and a leopard skin print handbag... on the pig. The pig doesn't understand what's happening and it's even more annoyed.

There are many material reasons as to why (conventional) desktop linux has never managed to make even the smallest dent in market share. IMO and IME, failing to get above 5% of desktop users has nothing to do with the Windows licensing monopoly.

That said, I do think they should offer a license-less version of the laptop - allowing people to maintain a free and libre stack is incredibly important and an effort that I support.

e: i have expressed my issues with desktop linux before and people always ask for examples, as if i was doing something wrong or incompetently setting up my machine. My go to example is this: I installed 20.04 towards the end of 2020. I installed the nvidia graphics driver using ubuntu's built in driver manager. Rebooted. Installed all updates. Rebooted. The machine immediately locked up after starting the kernel, and was wedged so severely that I couldn't even get recovery mode to start (immediate crash). I actually contain the basic skillset to get a boot console out on serial but... why put the effort in?

Whose fault was it? I don't know, but I expect the basic QA such that when I use the built in tools to do minimal and routine configuration to my computer, it doesn't destroy my installation. This is probably the funniest example of my desktop linux woes, but it is a long list and the majority of examples are, in my opinion, extremely unreasonable for even technical users to deal with.
That sounds like the one.

Different motherboards call these settings different names in their BIOS programs / setup however. So just keep an eye out for it.
Given Discord's UI shows day passages, it is "absolute enough". Should have phrased better as "more absolute", but you're right it's not really.
Newspapers and magazines have always formatted long text in narrow columns of 5-7 words. Admittedly I find it very irritating to read every now and then.

Most paperbacks have paragraphs that are about twice as wide (10 to 12 words) and it definitely feels more natural.
It's been done. There are too many books.
He does.

Later in his post, he generalized to all media but keeps the details video game specific.

Basically, I feel like his point is that we've put creators, of all forms of media, on such a high pedestal that we're neglecting the mundane things that keep life running smoothly.

Basically, a job/career version of social media making us all lonelier, I guess. Everyone wants to be a creator like everyone wants to be an influencer...
> yield strength, or how much force it takes to break the material

That's not yield strength.

Yield strength is how much force is required to permanently deform the material.

Ultimate tensile strength is the force required to break the material.

One great thing about steels is that they tend to work-harden.

Typical 250 grade mild steel, meaning it takes in excess of 250 MPa force to permanently stretch a 10mm round diameter section, usually has an ultimate tensile strength exceeding 400 MPa.
I would personally hate for that to be on but I can see your point. Maybe a simple hardware switch for on / off and adaptive cruise control turns on once you are over 65mph for more than 1 minute and will only adapt +-15mph total?
He does.

> Spotify now gets over 60000 new songs a day. Amazon now has millions of books. My country has over 550 scripted TV shows in production.

It's a weird point to make, and not really supported properly.
Meta shares drop 20% on Q4 earnings miss, weak outlook
Not in California. Left lane fast, right lane slow isn't the law, and you can pass in whatever lane you'd like.

Studies show that, adjusted for congestion and weather, SF Bay Area drivers have some of the highest accidents per mile in the country.
OK well you just rewrote my worldview. That observation can goes deep as one wishes go go with it...
Yup. Even being a day person and maintaining a solid schedule is hard. Oh, you'd like to go to bed on time but the two/three friends you still retain as an adult want to have a drink because today's the only day of the week they're free. And then tomorrow you want to go to sleep early but it's cleaning day and you need to do it cause then it'll be a tough day at work and so on, forever and ever.
People say all the time, "why spend all that money on space when there's so many problems on Earth?"

Why do people never say the same thing about all the money spent on video games and Starbucks? Which is arguably a lot more money.
My guess is it’s easier in Europe. My guess is if you only work 29 hours you won’t get health insurance where in Europe you still would qualify. Many people (myself included) are the “health insurance breadwinner” with a wife and kids that has no option other than a 40+ hour gig.
Switch to what? Any suggestions?
Yeah primarily I'm concerned with availability. I have a "production" hypervisor now with all of the household services running on it that I've promised my spouse I wouldn't mess around with which cuts off one avenue of experiments.
I had the same idea while working in this project. Either play directly from the map view (the prototype sort of already does this) or even use a rogue like ascii interface (which, yes, would probably be similar to the Silas Warner game)
In reality, when hate speech speakers congregate, they eventually end up being forced to stop by an ever-growing collective of people who will not tolerate hate speech; with speech, courts, laws, and violence.

In the world you describe with telepathy, we would know instantly who was thinking hate speech, and be able to identify them and protect those they hate from them, and prevent them from congregating into cancerous hate mobs. Some would argue that this is thoughtcrime enforcement, which is an expected outcome from granting telepathy to all. That is, in a nutshell, correct: peer enforcement of group morality in a telepathic society would, by definition, put the “thought” in “thoughtcrime”.

However, in today’s non-telepathic world, we cannot easily identify those who use hate speech online and protect others from their hate. This is presenting many difficulties not addressed by your telepathic example, and is the core of the problem that must be addressed.
And those aren't the points that people generally point to as failures of CGI. You can have goofy CGI with those, but you can definitely have goofy looking practical effects with elements too.
HN Team - could ya'all just add the OG tags? Geez that would be swell...
The team doesn't work Fridays. Even if in other roles you can get by with < 40 hours, you'll be hard pressed to fully disconnect from work on Fridays. Having clear 3-days weekends every week is much nicer than just trying to take it easy but being available all 5 days, IMO.

That said, in the nominally-40hr roles you won't get paid less, so YMMV on what's better
Could you explain that? Software that tries to interpret what users are doing and then tries to adapt to itself is on a slippery slope. The first steps in that direction, like a history of visited sites, or recently edited files menu are uncontroversial. But when it moves menu entries around to optimize for assumed workflow of the user, that user gets infuriated very fast.

Software that I cannot adapt to my needs is like an interactive tv. Ultimately I have no control over what is happening. Software that I can adapt to my needs puts the personal in Personal Computer.
I had an original non + amiga, and definitely had 1M.

We face a similar situation and we sometimes introduce API changes that break the monitors, which then requires to manually fix the testing script. The pain hasn’t been big enough yet to make us search for a different solution. Note that we are using Monitors mostly for end to end, user like tests, which represents a small fraction when compared to our unit test suite covering the API (where tests tend to be quite E2E as well).

We do use the one way Postman -> Github integration though. Every time a change is done, it is committed to a dedicated Github repo. We use it as a backup in case anybody messes up the scripts

> And I just say this, there is nothing to be measured in order to determine whether something is up for debate or not. This is a question of logic and philosophy and physics. Being up for debate means that there must be different opinions.

But there are different opinions about what colour things are.

What would you measure to determine that the facts of the universe don't change when you look away?
This post gets weirder and weirder as it goes on. It seems to end up at a place suggesting that society is going to crumble around us as everyone spends their time making and playing indie video games. I think that’s a little sensational, to say the least.

Here is the central thesis. There’s a lot to get through before you get to this.

Writing a game nobody plays discharges your energy and creates the feeling of achievement, but it's all empty calories and then your car falls into a sinkhole. If your game succeeds, it’s even worse. Your customers are now also expending all of their energy too, playing your game alone in a room. Meanwhile, sinkholes.

THAT is why I say there are too many indie games. They aren't sustainable. There is too much time wasted, and that will be true until time is applied to making the world work and bridges not fall down and food be in stores. Probably your time.
Are you in Netherlands or something like that? Here in Poland I only know junior developers that are doing 1/2 or 3/5 time and finishing bachelors or doing masters simultaneously.
I agree, but I also expect money to matter to these goals in the long run. For example, if I have kids someday, I'd be much happier if I have financial resources to live in a nice place, take more time off, and pay for travel.

Money for the sake of it isn't the goal, it's more about being able to finance projects I find fulfilling.
