If you're going to start with salary, at least don't tell them what you currently make, because that will instantly be their baseline. Just tell them what you desire and don't tell them that it is 20% or whatever more than what you currently make.

But really you shouldn't start with giving a number. They already have a huge advantage because they negotiate salary all day and you do it once every few years. Just ask them for the range and make sure the minimum is above your X+20% number. If it's not, let them know that their range is too low, and if they won't tell you, say, "thank you, next".
That's not a terrible idea. People likely underestimate how much of the legal system runs on - essentially - sensible human discretion in applying rules like that one.

Tongue out of cheek, I worry less about Firefox's future than I would a browser with an equivalent market share but without a lot of developers aware of how the sausage is made backing it out of opposition to a Google monopoly. It might be a minority brower, but by virtue of who it attracts that minority is pretty important when it comes to the web.
AFAIK reverb tanks use a couple of solenoids (like a speaker or a microphone), not a Hall effect sensor[1], It won't be unusual to find some of them using Hall effect sensors, but I don't know any of them that use this technology.

I think Activision released the whole trilogy for free.

Still, you can play Dungeon, which is pretty much the same. ZDungeon is the game for the Z-Machine, so it's like the Ur-concept for Zork and the Z-machine in a full pack.

Email: [HN username]@gmail.com

I excel working with React Native including animated data visualizations using React Native SVG with low level D3.js utilities, browser automation using headless browsers on a server exposing an API, and building browser extensions.
I've posted a lot on HN about the semantic web in the past [1, 2, 3, 4, etc]. I'm extremely happy to see it experience a resurgence of renewed attention.

Semantic Web was going to be a mechanism to distribute information in a reusable way, but its rise was poorly timed with the emergence of the platforms. If it had come into full swing five to ten years earlier - basically the start of the web - we'd be using the tech right now. It's still the right mindset to get away from Facebook, Google, Reddit, Twitter, etc. It has the potential to give us disproportionate power against centralization.

HTML is an unstructured soup, and extracting information from it requires human scraping or sophisticated models. It's also a sort of shifting sands subject to change. Semantic web presented a methodology for sharing data and distributing it in a variety of serializations that you could also embed into anything. It was an API for data. Not just loosely structured bespoke JSON, either.

There's no reason this comment should live on HN or Reddit or whatever. It could be shared over a form of HTTP federated aggregation or directly via P2P with lots of semantic metadata (title, author, subject, date, contents, etc.) and interest graph markup. It could also be further enriched with algorithms that summarize, extract sentiment, keywords, and so forth - but used directly for our own time saving purposes instead of fueling an algorithmic news feed that optimizes for advertisers.

People you like would have signed profiles that tell you where they publish so that you can subscribe. You can follow their interest graph but use your own algorithm to filter and rank content.

Articles, photos, calendars, recipes -- everything would be semantic, sharable, and interoperable. You could even save the content you like to your personal knowledge base since it's right at your fingertips, richly annotated with no cruft.

Facebook just took the wind out of the sails for a decade and a half. It looks like a lot of people are starting to think about this problem again.

“Recall” lol. They will tweak a behavior in a software update.
> Thing is, you don’t know whether the honk is for “you are slower than I like” or “your bumper is falling off”.

It's almost always immediately obvious what the transgression is if you're paying the slightest bit of attention.

Even the people who are on their phones at a light and have to regain situational awareness from square one do a pretty good job figuring it out.
This is my view too. It actually surprises me that so many people are doom and gloom when all one has to do is look out the window and realize that's pretty much all humans are good for. We aren't good at preventing things from happening but we are good at adapting to whatever happens.

I don't believe climate change will destroy us all. It might make things more uncomfortable than it has to be but when push comes to shove, humans will adapt to pretty much any situation.

But these "vaccines" don't actually provide immunity, unlike previous vaccines, which is why the dictionary entry for vaccine was actually changed. They reduce the severity of symptoms. The best way out of this is herd immunity via the Omicron variant, which causes minor cold symptoms and doesn't kill people (especially not kids).

+1. I'm holding on buying a Framework laptop because I've heard that it does not support proper sleep. It would be great to hear if the issues with heating / losing battery when sleeping in a backpack are real or not.
HappyFunCorp | Software Engineers | Remote | Full-time or freelance | https://happyfuncorp.com

We seek excellent web and mobile developers, currently especially senior Node engineers and mobile developers with React Native experience. We work on a wide variety of projects with a whole panoply of technologies, so we prefer generalists with a reasonable amount of experience under their belt -- but there are always exceptions.

We're very comfortable with non-traditional employment configurations. Are you an entrepreneur who wants to allocate 50% of your time to your own startup; a tinkerer who spends 1-2 days/week on side projects; or a traveler who seeks to work full-time for 6 months, travel the world for 3, then return and repeat? We explicitly support and approve of all those things, no awkward explanations or uncomfortable compromises required. If you're good enough to context switch like that successfully, then HFC is the place for you.

We do web and app (and occasionally blockchain) development for clients ranging from Fortune 500 to startups. We've shipped hundreds of projects, have won various awards including App of the Year from Apple, are currently probably best-known for having built Bookshop.org ... and we pay well.

I'm running Xubuntu on mine and it works fine. Battery life goes down pretty quick when sleeping, and battery life is definitely lower than Windows, but I can still get 4-5 hours of actual work on it.
Go for a 2 mile run every morning. The mornings I don't do this I'm a zombie especially if I haven't slept well.
I think the recessed USB-C dongles are a fantastic idea. I'd love for this to become a standard feature on laptops.

Can miscellaneous third parties can create and sell their own Framework-compatible expansion modules?

Can other manufacturers make laptops with Framework-compatible expansion slots?

Unreal has much better VR support with, basically, push button publishing. I would not choose anything else for VR.

An Oculus Quest is wireless with inside out tracking in 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) and has no problem tracking people jumping and ducking in games like beat saber.

Unreal will map the camera to the movement coming from oculus hardware and you just make your art and some basic visual scripting in blue prints to make a PoC.

This is a couple week(end)s of work to get an MVP.

I don't have a rower so wouldn't be able to help but good luck! Great idea and very doable. Although I will warn you sweating in a headset does feel icky with the included fabric pads.

Edit to add:

Sky is just a sky box (sphere) that rotates because stars in real life are effectively at infinity

Water simulation is limited by whatever else you are drawing. Older quest hardware will be limited by draw calls. This is why you see so much stylized art in VR games that are cross platform. You likely would want a simple vertex shader and not a fluid sim.

Now I want a Tron VR rowing sim :D
That GIF is not clear to me either. I don't even get what the concept of a room is supposed to be? Or to to phrase it differently: how is this different than slack?

Aside from the question of common decency, this kid wasted a rare opportunity. He had a private message exchange with Elon Musk! Pitch an idea. Ask for a job. Ask for advice. Don't try to shake them down for nuisance money.
The us navy has been building SMRs for decades. Their reactors don't need to generally be refueled either since they use higher grade fuels and burn them in place for 30+ years. So, there are differences but mostly these aren't cutting edge designs, they are 50 year old concepts that have been studied and understood to death.

Yes there are differences, but the fact that the NRC can't certify a reactor class that the navy builds (without interference from the NRC) is itself a problem.
Another example of a walkable "neighborhood" (with sports, after school, and community events, community usage of facilities at 6-7 days a week) that we ignore the safety of in favor of cars to get wherever else they are going faster.

Thank you for confirming.

I guess I will have to wait until an improved version of Framework that supports proper sleep.

In my experience, really dang hard. In high school I agonized for hours about concluding sentences. I've gotten slightly more skilled, but I mostly solved the problem by lowering my standards.
I don't. I've been meaning to, just haven't gotten around to it. There's a guy in the UK doing a pretty similar conversion documented on Youtube. He's using a Leaf motor and batteries I think.

Homesteading is a modern day algo trap. As a concept it's so tantalizing that once you watch one video, the algorithms feed you endless hours of other homesteaders pretending for the cameras, asking you to smash the like and subscribe. It's much like the tiny house movement, or van dwellers, or professional gaming.

Be suspicious of any hobby where there are hoards fat margin advertisers.
We had used something similar teemyco [1]. But as most of you mentioned here, I think privacy is a big thing. Also as an introvert, I do not like such solutions which might mandate to have constant online presence.

I would claim that readers naturally gravitate to reading that is entertaining, informative, and captures their attention with relevance and specificity. There are too many people like the author, ensconced in their ivory towers, who write polemical think pieces with premises like "why does no one read difficult books I like anymore?" and "why is no one willing to commit several hours to dissect the rhetoric of an obscure essay under a microscope?"
hey HN, original writer here, just saying hi!

Two main takeaways from this article:

1) Before starting a DAO, always compare it to its web2 version. Example: before you start a crowdfund DAO, why wouldn't a web2 GoFundMe work just as well?

2) A DAO is only as strong as decentralized as its most centralized link. If treasury management or voting isn't decentralized, the organization can be co-opted by bad actors. If a DAO is ruled by a multi-sig wallet, what's stopping the voters from colluding with each other to steal the funds?

I live in the suburbs and am interested in this. I don't think it'd be possible to be fully self sufficient, but what I do personally is have a fairly large garden and some fruit trees planted. I preserve and ferment some of the vegetables for longer term storage. I also have a decently large amount of rice/beans/canned food/sardines. I figured this way I'm decently protected from quite a few emergencies involving limited access to food and will be able to get a decent amount of nutrition from the garden and be able to get the calories and protein from the food I have stored. It actually came in handy last year when we had the winter storm in Texas. I was pretty much snowed in for a week with no electricity but we had plenty to eat and I had no real worries. You can look into urban homesteading though. There is quite a bit you can do with not a lot of space in regards to becoming more self sufficient. If you can't have chickens another animal to look into would be quail. I don't personally raise any but am looking into it. We aren't allowed to have chickens where I live because of the HOA but quail are actually considered pets so it's allowed.
