Author claims to be a "Professional lender and banker" in the sidebar. Why do you think he is in construction management?

Anyway, the major problem is his whole setup:

> When looking at our workforce figures, we need to keep that figure in mind. The population under 16 (not working) and population over 65 (more likely to be retired) are roughly equivalent right now, which means our workforce age should hew pretty close to our overall median age

No, we wouldn't expect that.

He then goes on to list median working age for select jobs, as if 16 year olds could be working as electricians.

But he never mentions the mean working age, which is what his entire setup is about.

Yeah, Illumos and then OpenZFS very specifically avoided contributor license agreements after Oracle demonstrated the ultimate failure mode of that model (by closing OpenSolaris); if Oracle had had the sense to immediately re-license ZFS to GPLv2 or dual-licensed it could have worked, but it's a decade too late now. (Incidentally, I have never understood why they didn't do exactly this; ZFS was superior to anything Linux had at the time, and Oracle would have benefited enormously from shipping ZFS as a first-class feature on OEL. Of course, the obvious answer is... Oracle[0].)

There was, as I remember, a curious observation, called goodhart's law or something similar stating that people will always try to affect outcome. When artificial rules of the funding game are known, people will game the rules and the just stop to be useful.

For example, if we use "fund research at random", people will flood with research proposals.

Or if HN upvotes will become measure of which research is funded, soon enough people will optimize research proposals for HN upvotes.

I think, goodhart's law would not apply in certain situations, for example when signal is extremely costly to fake.

In research world, some unquestionable proof of personal time of a researcher spent would suffice, I think.

I.e three years in a row researcher comes in the same grant proposal and his colleagues say in writing, that yes, he is working only on it and nothing else for three years, no funny stuff.

Title is clickbait. Article is about the aging of the American labor force, which is worth talking about, but has nothing to do with the present phenomenon of the Great Resignation.
I think the younger generation, 22-27, has caught on to what a scam working is. By that, they fully understand that getting an office job and a mortgage means they will be chained to a desk with little chance at getting rich or escaping that life.

I am a bit older, but have been seeing this mentality all over the place on the internet, but also in the real world. Its everywhere, young people trying to hustle money through odd job sales, youtube channels, online ecommerce. Whatever they can do to not get started on a career. And its completely rational, money printing has destroyed the value of the dollar, real estate is too expensive, and corporations extract too much value from their workers.

An even more interesting point is the loss of status of having a good job when young. There is absolutely no shame, and its even cheered on to not be working a serious job. Making 200k at 24 is impressive to no one, and is instead met with disdain, "why spend your life working"

I can't usually do that on Btrfs either. Whenever it defragments something that's COW, it makes a new copy with 1 use, and leaves all the other snapshots/reflinks pointing at the old copy.
Well if Manhattan is the only place in US not getting a net benefit from large trailers, you pretty much proved the point of how dumb it would be to enforce a ban on these trailers on the whole of NYC. Manhattan is just one borough of NYC. The regulation is pointless if the truckers already don't go there -- those who go there by accident would have broken the law anyway (didn't mean to go there) and those who are intentionally going somewhere to unload never end up there because by your own statement they can't even unload. Let the trucks go on to the outer boroughs so those in Manhattan can keep benefitting and buying the goods that come off these trailers.

NYPD are apparently acting 100% rationally and sober here by choosing not to enforce this regulation, and you've done nothing but systematically prove that point.
both are happening simultaneously in different areas, there are still many starlink terminals behind cgnat inside the google ASN, there are now some starlink terminals that have been giving out dhcp leases of public addresses owned/controlled by the starlink ASN, and there are also starlink terminals that have been seen doing cgnat and with an exit point in the starlink ASN.

it really depends on where you are and whether your terminal has been selected by (some unknown criteria) for spacex's network topology changes.
That’s surprising- I thought the apprenticeship programs in Germany were supposed to be very good, and the trades more respected there than in the U.S.?
Also, how do you patch your system?
It is an appropriate use of statistics regardless. The main thrust of headsoup's argument was that the focus on unvaxxed people isn't helpful because they aren't important in absolute terms.

The rate doesn't matter so much in this instance, because most resources would still be spend on vaccinated people. Much like the fact that when I eventually catch COVID the odds are really good that I'm going to get it off someone who is vaccinated.

If we hypothetically rounded up all the unvaxxed tomorrow most of the strain on the hospital system faces in Scotland would still be there. Vaccination campaigns can't really change that.
This happens very often, Vulert.com is very useful in this case it notifies you as soon as a vulnerability found in any open source software you use.
You asked

> Why not bcachefs?

To which, "it isn't stable or anything like prod-ready, and you still have to build it as an out-of-tree module" is a perfectly good answer. Hopefully, the answer will become "yes, bcachefs is the solution" soon, but we aren't there today.
I have heard arguments that Oracle would now be the License Steward and could change it to be whatever they liked (GPL 2.0, MIT, etc.) which would flow to the OpenZFS project.

I don't think that's the reason. Hanlon's razor is just a heuristic, we shouldn't blindly and naively apply it to everything. I think you can see how biased Mother Jones is by taking the headlines on their front page, and trying to rewrite them as someone attempting to be impartial would.
There are many VR applications that don't need to move the view separately from user input. Exercise programs for example, and a lot of office telepresence probably falls into this.

> Great and unique selection of food!

I suspect that's why they don't partner with delivery vendors. Grocery stores would rather you came in person. You'll make impulse buys, they can direct you to products where they have excess inventory, and they can maintain a direct relationship with you.

Most are forced to offer delivery precisely because they don't have a "great and unique selection of food." If they don't support delivery, you'll get the same products from a competitor who does. Trader Joe's doesn't have to because you can't find their products anywhere else.

It is all about dev or designer giant ego. Someone responded me recently that the difficulty level in video games could be removed and replaced with smart code that adapts the difficulty for you, on short the developer knows better then you what you want from the game.
I think more broadly games are all about psychological manipulation. But I also think that means we have a much greater responsibility to make sure that remains safe and consensual. The taxonomy is therefore contextual and requires looking at the sum of any one game. Not only that but within categories different techniques can be weaker or stronger and that will vary per game.

Likewise consequence is an important consideration. Is it bad that someone will finish a terrible game because they love the story? Probably not. Is it bad that someone spent money they can’t afford on gacha mechanics? Probably.

One thing consumers should be very aware of is that sanding off sharp corners is very much about broadening audience reach and retention not necessarily making a better game. Particularly as more games employ a GaaS model.

Perhaps I overstepped my IANAL boundaries there. But I think it shouldn’t be too difficult for Apple’s lawyers to argue that functionality built into the OS to protect location data or control the cellular radio are distinct from say, Apple’s first party Podcasts or Music apps.
Hah, that’s funny. Excellent, thank you.
I think more precise definition is naive rather than dumb.

At least in this hypothetical, that’s at least partly because Google owns the primary store on Android. It’s easy to envision them making Google Play for iOS and moving all of their apps exclusively into that and generating quite the beachhead while enabling them to increase their tracking capabilities and gathering more data. Especially if they exclusively release a true build of Chrome (everyone’s favorite monoculture) half of HN will immediately download the store so they can help give Google complete control over the internet.

This article is critical of universal basic income as a solution for tech workers who do not get paid for the value they provide. I'm not sure what subgroup of UBI proponents the author is arguing against, because this is the first I've heard of UBI being something that will be necessary to save highly skilled programmers. The context I've mostly heard it in is to protect those whose jobs are being automated away, such as fast food workers, retail workers, truck drivers and increasingly more knowledge based work as technology improves. The author recognizes that software developers are not part of this group (yet) and not really being automated away, but then seems to ignore it for the rest of the post and starts to conflate UBI as a solution for joblessness with open source developers not getting paid.

Who is saying open source development needs to be funded by government-organized UBI? If that is a movement I've missed, could someone link me to an example?
> Obesity ... seems like an entirely personal matter

Just like vaccination for Covid is personal. Remember that the vaccine does not prevent transmission of omicron. And that if the vaccine works, if an unvaccinated person transmits the virus to a vaccinated one, there should be no risk, right ?

Also, obese and overweight people account for 50% of hospitalizations in ICU for Covid in France.
What would be the point? We (HN) could be tricked, but certainly not foreign state analysts.

Whatever civilians believe isn't of great importance.

Yes, his premise seemed off to me, too, but I *didn’t think about it deeply.

Regarding “construction management,” that may not be the right term. “Construction financing and oversight,” maybe. This is what he says in the article:

> For the record, I’ve gone on to finance and supervise the funding and progress of large construction projects across the U.S.

I can’t help but think that the article is a bit self-serving.
> "Python & C# require runtimes. And those runtimes will have an overhead."

Golang also has a runtime with memory safety, garbage collection, and threading. It's just linked into the native executable and run alongside without a VM but still present.

> "That just reeks of arrogance... costs will be less for programs produced by Go / C (and C++ too)"

You claimed that costs would be the least with Go without any other context. This is neither related to my point (that all stacks get faster over time) nor accurate since other languages are used in similar environments delivering the same or better performance and costs. Again this comes down to "optimization" being far broader than just the language or compilation process.
> FB have never built a successful product besides Zuck's original.

Can we argue the same point for Google?

Considering their dominant position in digital ads, I wonder what this implies.
I swear every instance of “you can make a lot of money in the trades” seems to selectively focus on workers in states with a heavy union culture, or people who run their own business, the latter of which I wouldn’t simply reduce to “working in the trades”. It may involve that or a history of that, but there’s entirely new and additional skill sets required.

For my current state of residence, Florida, BLS lists the mean salary of the parent category “ Office and Administrative Support Occupations” as $39,300. Not great sure the averages for more specific categories under that parent run from anywhere from the low 30s to low 50s. I’ve picked this category specifically since it’s the lower tier of “white collar work”, i.e. stuff a relatively unskilled college grad my find themselves doing.

Now some blue collar categories:

“Construction and Extraction Occupations” - $42,930

“Installation, Maintenance, and Repair Occupations”
- $46,560

“Production Occupations” - $37,700

I don’t want to add noise by listing a ton of specific careers under these categories (and obviously the mean salary within categories can vary a lot). It does seem like the first two categories pay marginally better, but not by a lot. Various other white collar categories have better pay, even ones that people traditionally considered woefully underpaid, such as teaching professions and science ones.

I understand there’s still a benefit for trade careers in that education doesn’t set you back nearly as much, but I also don’t want to equate white collar and educated. Plenty of sales people and software devs without a formal education.

Just for kicks, I’ll look at some Glassdoor salary data for some trade related jobs near me, particularly the ones that people rave on and on about. Not a particularly good source, but there’s some ok self reported data.

“Electrician” - range goes from $32k-$81k, with an average around $51k

“Plumber” - $26k-$86k with an average $47k

“Welder” (this one is interesting, because from what I hear you can make really good money, in specific niches under more dangerous circumstances) - $28k-$56k with an average close to $40k.

Not going to say these are particularly worse than the wide net of “white collar” jobs, but they’re certainly a far cry from the “I know a guy who makes six figures as a tradesmen” anecdotes that get passed around oh so often in these types of discussions.

Of course this is an extremely superficial look at some data I did at 2am. I’m sure, drilling down, you’ll find many blue collar and white collar careers that pay better than the overall category averages, and I am not a “go to college or risk your future” nor a “go into the trades, you can make a ton of money” type person. I just think both attitudes are memes and way overstated.

It seems fairly unlikely doesn’t it? I was under the impression they had a fairly intense, and not so friendly, rivalry.
There’s no question that Mother Jones has an editorial bias; every periodical does. I’m not sure what the point of complaining about that is. Likewise, it’s not particularly noteworthy that WSJ and Fox News have a conservative bias.

If we are to get up in arms about something, it should be because they are being deceptive (or worse, publishing false information), not because they are merely biased or guilty of omission.
I mean the fancier things like thin provisioning, snapshots and other features built on top of lvm as a means to provide zfs like functionality. Vanilla lvm is fine, which is what is used be everyone. I have been bitten twice by lvm related issues. Once because metadata storage in lvm thin provision got full (no idea why defaults are so low), and once because snapshots by snapper stopped working (i.e., they wouldn't rotate eventually causing a disk full situation) because an selinux policty update borked snapper.
Anecdotally, haven’t seen a young tradesmen in Germany while I lived there.
Simplicity is what users indirectly need.

Go is not about providing the fastest implementations out of the box, it's about having a broad toolset in the standard library to solve the problems Go was built for.

Faster (and often more complex) implementations are a maintenance burden for Go contributors. It's far better for a high performance regex library to be a third party package for those that need it.

For those where regex is a limiting factor in performance they'll soon find out why. But for most people fast regex is nothing compared to the overhead of a simple HTTP request.
>All of which are famous for having user interfaces/experiences that aren't very intuitive for the newbie.

Does any other vim alternative have less features and settings? Notepad is not an alternative. I am not a vim fan but my text editor and my IDE are power user tools and have settings.

Linux, probably the OC is referring to the kernel, otherwise GNOME is famous for it idiotic simplicity where you must modify your work to fit the software and not adapt your server to fit your work.

Blender , what does Maya (or other alternatives) has less settings and menus?

I think you missed the point, pro users are not all identical, working all n the exact same way on the exact same things, your application that targets professional needs to adapt or reject from the start a big part of the user base.
Isn't it funny that the piece presents a sense of socital need to have some people work in some particular jobs?

It’s pretty reasonable to infer from the circumstances that such an attempt would immediately get the teacher into big trouble. It would certainly have a chilling effect at the very least.
Comparing averages is nearly useless without knowing the distributions.
My biggest complaints were:

1. Used more power than all my other appliances/devices combined.
2. I dropped signal every few minutes. Didn't impact streaming/downloads but did make calls basically untenable. Given my work, this made StarLink a step back despite the dramatic increase in speeds.
I never suggested any such thing

I'm surprised that there are still windows of time where any piece of land isn't "seen" by satellite. I thought there was 24/7 coverage especially on special sites like Area 51.
Thanks for posting this, it's been an entire hour since a post about Uyghurs got above 15 points (and no, that is not an exaggeration at all).

Incidentally, in the past five years five posts with a phrase like Standing Rock or Dakota Pipeline got over 15 points - Americans like to be sanctimonious about the indigenous in China, not the indigenous in the US who they sic dogs on and pepper spray when they try to stop a pipeline going through their lands that will burn up the atmosphere.
Thanks for the pointers, but I'm not sure those are what I'm looking for.

Todoist sounds more like a "Get Things Done" style task tracker (like OmniFocus). Due dates and assignments and priorities are way beyond what I want a todo list to do.

As for Bring, yeah that looks like it's way overengineered.
I remember in the beginning of the pandemic they were asked to comment on this, especially about how online ordering and pickup could help people in the situation.

I would agree with insaneirish, if it was anybody but Oracle who held the CDDL-licensed code (I think IBM have ZFS-relevant patents, but no CDDL code in the OpenZFS codebase). With anyone else, I'd say the legal risks were overwrought; we're talking two subtly mismatched copyleft licenses, so the idea that there is damage done by combing the codebases is legally weird and this kind of cursed-earth legal strategy is insane from a market giant. But as a wise man once said, don't anthropomorphise Oracle.
