The fact that Java and c++ are not on this list should tell you something about the methodology. What language do you think all of the $700K FANG engineers are using? Ruby?
> Obesity is going up everywhere. Even in pets.

That's because most pet food is unhealthy crap - the worst offender is food that has sugar added for optics/smell reasons or grains because they are cheaper than meat. Healthy food for pets stinks and looks bad, so manufacturers add sugar that the humans keep on buying it.

On top of that, most pets don't get nearly the amount of movement they need - their owners don't have the time to take their dog on the two to three hours (!) a day that energetic, former work dog breeds need, or they are being kept solitary... if there is one thing that adopting a pair of kittens has taught me it is that they contain absurd amounts of energy that they burn through playing, and solitary cats can't release it.
The main issue with corruption in politics has little directly to do with stock trading. The main issue is access.

Companies give donations based on access. Companies give jobs after politicians are finished with their political careers so that they can have process SMEs who have access to the sitting group of politicians and their political parties.

Stock trading isn't a bump on a frog's ass comparatively. I'm not saying they shouldn't ban it for people in Congress. I'm saying that if it's corruption you're looking to stamp out, then politicians should be forced to use ONLY public funding for political campaigns AND be banned from holding lobbying or lobbyist-adjacent positions for 6 years after leaving Congress.
How is he going to know he's interested in an abstract concept like coding if you don't introduce him to it?
Monodraw is awesome, and has a really great desktop interface.
Solidity being highest is interesting, I suspect its because in boom times, crappy projects are willing to throw any amount of money to get development in so they can show progress and cash out. So I'd question the quality and longevity of those jobs.
It would be very useful to see volume of jobs in addition to how much they pay

khazhoux explained the context very well. I'd add that what clicks for me is how the story is building up until it reaches an absurd level, kind of "how the hell did we get to this" coupled with Walken's straight face. You start to wonder if that's a joke, then you realize it is, from Tarantino.
That's just a statement, there is no logic behind why life would be experienced as percentages rather than in absolute time. Personally, I'm more prone to believe the unique experiences concept, because that actually has some basis for it, and also meshes with my real life. I have a few years in my early 20s which are just a blur (because I was working a crummy office job), but I have a year or two in my 30s which feel like a lifetime in themselves, and I can recall numerous specific days, because I was doing a totally new thing (road tripping around the mediterranean)
I find the average salary, especially for things like PHP, to be absolutely meaningless. There are PHP shops where people are just tweaking wordpress templates, and there are PHP devs who work for companies like Facebook. These groups have a huge difference in salary.

I'd love to see this data broken down into percentiles- what to the top 10% of positions in each language break down to? What about the bottom 10%?
You can think of an insurer as someone who provides a service of pooling resources together to help those who got unlucky.
That service is worth something and is not necessarily predatory.

I'm not even sure that many are really rich. I recently read that the average net worth of a Ferrari owner is less than one million pounds and that most Ferraris are financed.

Real wealth is what you don't spend.
The paper he discusses claims that Bitcoin private keys are only vulnerable for about 10 minutes, but that only applies to P2PKH (pay to public key hash) with never before used keys.

However, millions of BTC are vulnerable with no quantum computation time limits. This includes about 1.75 M BTC in P2PK/raw multisig outputs, and over 4M BTC due to known pubkeys and scripts, revealed in the Bitcoin blockchain.
The data are clear: The boys are not all right
The parser assures your code is grammatically correct; the type system assures your code is semantically consistent, which is usually a much stronger guarantee, and by most practical measures will be closer - often much closer, and for total functions on total types, sometimes all the way - to "logically correct".

Flying cars, despite being a symbol of a scifi future, are actually a pretty bad idea. Driving on wheels is much more energy efficient than flying, and without the risk of acting like a kinetic weapon if the battery cuts out.

I'm all for innovation, but I do think it's easy to get the wrong end of the stick with scifi and focus on the aesthetic over the social conditions.
Then what, in your opinion, is one to do? Not every law, whether in spirit or letter, is written for the best interest of the governed. The crypto wars of the 90s are a testament to that and are now rearing their ugly head yet again. Working one's way around unstated assumptions is one of the rights acknowledged by the Constitution in the form of the 10th amendment. It remains one of the few safeguards against the self-righteousness political bodies tend to exhibit.
Right answer! This is about signalling more than it's about the actual health details and people (rightfully?) are unhappy because leaders who make rules should follow them (right....?)

Frankly I think our politicians deserve a break and should be able to have a party to blow off steam once in a while, and I tolerate fairly modest violations of the lockdown policy.
That could be because they're highly sought after, or it could be because there are so few of them that didn't end up in a landfill.
U.S. science no longer leads the world. Here’s how nation should respond
The energy generated is a small red herring here.

For a long time one of the hardest problems in fusion reactor design is what the hell you make it out of. The big win here is that they replaced the walls of the reactor with a new alloy, and it worked according to what theory predicted, which gives them the green light for using that material in ITER.

To simplify a little (ok, a lot) there are two big materials problems inside the reactor. The first is the walls: you need something that's going to survive the temperatures, not disturb the reaction, and not get too radioactive in the process. They previously used carbon, which isn't great: it gets radioactive because it absorbs tritium, which is in the fuel. This experiment used a beryllium alloy, which doesn't absorb nearly as much, and worked, validating the material choice for ITER.

The second problem is to do with the exhaust. You need to get hot plasma out of the chamber without disturbing the ongoing reaction, and with a tokamak that means ridiculously energetic particles hitting a solid divertor. Again, the problem here is what materials you might come up with that stand a chance of surviving useful operational periods. ITER is currently planned to use beryllium walls and a tungsten divertor, but I don't know what JET's divertor is made of at the moment to know whether this experiment will have informed whether tungsten is a good enough choice.

What all this means is that there's one less thing on the "ITER might fail because of..." list.
This is an excellent read, thanks for sharing
This will go down the road just fine though. The tiny little diesel will make it go but won't break their ghetto CV extension. Those small car calipers and plate brake rotors will let it stop just fine (probably better than you'd think since they're so big). The structural stuff is ugly, overbuilt and heavy. The design isn't the greatest (lol what even is triangulation) but they make up for it in metal well enough that they probably won't be able to hurt it. What it won't do is perform as well as it looks. Don't expect to track it with that tiny little engine and questionable (in the most literal sense of the word, they probably don't even know their numbers) suspension geometry.
Here's a fun bug that started with iOS 15. I have my phone set to automatically switch between light/dark mode with sunrise/sunset.

In light mode, the Safari URL bar is supposed to use black text on a light grey background:

https://ibb.co/vQGy1r7

In dark mode, the Safari URL bar is supposed to use white text on a dark grey background:

https://ibb.co/87x119J

Except, when my phone switches automatically to dark mode, the text color switches but not the background. So I get white text on a light grey background which is illegible:

https://ibb.co/dJHT467

The only fix I've found is to force-kill Safari. But then at sunrise, I get the opposite problem: black text on a dark grey background, and I have to force-kill Safari again.

I've been force-killing Safari twice a day on my phone since iOS 15 came out. :-(

Manually toggling light/dark mode does not exhibit the problem, nor does it fix the problem when it's in this state.

I have some possibly non-default accessibility settings: reduce motion on, button shapes on, on/off labels on, increase contrast on. Also in Safari: single tab, landscape tab bar off, allow website tinting off.
Previous thread, 2020: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24800037

This article is awesome and has a ton of great knowledge, but it’s a little dismissive of openembedded, and if you click through to the previous thread you’ll see a lot of people come to it’s defense.
We haven't invented commercial fusion power, so none; but theoretically that is how they would function.

Solar and batteries are nice but they're not yet cost effective. They're getting better. But you can't just handwave away real problems from your armchair viewpoint and assume thats all fine.
The foundations of end-to-end encryption: Domain separation (with code in Rust)
It's amazing to me how much political capital is spent on this sort of thing. Meanwhile, we are no closer to anything like universal healthcare, or even lowering the medicare age. The wealth gap is expanding, and jobs are still being sent overseas. Housing is getting more expensive, inflation is wiping out any wage gains, and healthcare is even more obscenely expensive. But hey, we may or may not have identified some additional white supremacists.

This analogy just hit me. It's as if people who get into this trap are like addicts. They are spending all their political capital (money) on heroin (rage culture) and not spending political capital on feeding themselves or their families (healthcare, jobs, wages, UBI, etc). All the while, the machine keeps on enriching themselves at our expense. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, we keep tilting at the windmills the elite class convinces us are actually dragons.

The GOP will probably take the house and/or the senate, effectively neutering Biden. Expect 2 years of retaliatory impeachment hearings to distract everyone from our goals. The D's had two years of power and almost nothing to show for it, except maybe higher blood pressure.

> For TikTok, the results were even more mysterious: 13 of the 14 network contacts on the popular social media app were from third parties. The third-party tracking still happened even when users didn’t opt into allowing tracking in each app’s settings, according to the study.

It seems like Apple is lacking on tracking enforcement of privacy. This mobile marketing company can do this so I'm guessing Apple has the resources to do this properly. You could even do it for the largest 1000 apps.
It's a little tedius, but you can highlight sections and then drag the highlighted section around.

Also it would be nice to have some way of snapping boxes to a grid. Similar to creating new elements in figma. It was hard to tell when if all the boxes I made were aligned / same size.
So it doesn't, and it's not about the type system. Any decode operation in python 3 raise an exception or return string.

It's about the runtime error handling making it mandatory to deal with the error and won't let you panic at run time for this specific error.

I haven't really looked at the comments, quick search of "you tube". Nothing of my issue.

On you tube the "homepage" or algorithm page, none of the thumbnails are working. The only thumbnail image that shows up is the Avert on the first top left area.

I am on a brand new Mac M1 from 2021. It's only a few months old.

Other stuff in YouTube works but the images don't come up. Hover now won't work either. Is Youtube aging on Safari? LOL.
Those are design decisions that result in missing functionality, not unintentional defects (“bugs”) in shipping functionality.
I think "take out" is unnecessarily hyperbolic language. It seems they're stuck on a radio station, not inoperable or dangerous.
Yes, two different isotopes. JET uses deuterium-tritium fuel.
> I don't understand why you'd want to deliberately diffuse the output of your screen?

I already said why: reflections and glare make for a terrible work experience. That's why matte is the default preference for most people.

> Like if you wanted it blurry you could have done that in software.

The "grains" (for lack of a better word) in a matte coating are truly microscopic. They don't make anything blurry. I get the impression that either you're just trolling or you've never actually seen a matte display.
I wonder what kind of challenges this introduces to the production - like what are the pros and cons of each method?

I also wonder if 3d animation changes anything about this approach. I enjoy watching Japanese anime but 3d productions can be hard to watch with an English dub because it's very apparent that mouth movements don't match, whereas with more traditional 2d-style animation the mouth flaps match more easily in the mind. Video games made by Japanese studios for Japanese audiences can be particularly hard to watch with an English dub.
Hi rishsriv,

Thanks for liking zingg, super excited to hear this :-) Here are some performance numbers. https://docs.zingg.ai/docs/setup/hardwareSizing.html

We see performance varies by
a) Number of attributes to match
b) Size of data
c) Type of matching and the features we compute for each
d) Hardware and cluster size

Although we do not do matching across languages like English with Chinese, we have tested Zingg quite rigorously with Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, German and other languages and it seems to work out of the box. Likely due to the inbuilt Java unicode support and the ML based learning.

You make a great point about continuous variables like lat/long, age etc. Age seems to work, again due to integer differences and the learning. Have not tried lat/long yet. Would you have any dataset you could recommend for testing?
It's strange to me how you overcomplicate it all by thinking about growth instead of utility of money. Once you switch everything becomes easier and more intuitive. You will also see why Kelly is not a good guideline for most cases as it's utility that matters (by the very definition of it) and not growth.
One of those great moments where domain knowledge results in a substantially different system to the intuitive approach :)
As an Italian with classical studies as my main background, I remember studying Pascoli in High School, and vividly remember this story. I could tell it was Pascoli already from the title! Amazing article.

Pascoli is dear to me, as he's known for gracing my uneventful province home town with a beautiful poem as well. I'm positively surprised that I still remember all of them from our task of memorizing them in elementary school as well.

There used to be A LOT of poetry in our kids-of-the-80s school curricula, now that I think of it. And I gotta say, I feel lucky for that.
Thanks for that chart. Maybe famous, but first time I've seen it. It's a bit pathetic.
And explains a lot about progress.

> will a dollar spent on wheelchair ramps in buildings across the USA give a greater quality of life improvement to the average american than a dollar spent on medical research that tries to repair spinal nerves?

Yes, I don’t know why this is even a question. Ramps support people who will never need spinal nerve repair. They support strollers, wheeled luggage, canes, crutches, fall risk folks, furniture movers, bike/scooters, etc.

As a user, I happily browse in Safari. I use Chrome for interacting with Google, but nothing else. I haven't noticed anything that I want to do that is prevented by my use of Safari. As a developer, I never touch the web, so.

It comes down to: different people -- and organizations! -- have different priorities and respond to different incentives. Why it is so difficult for some to see that their particular way of seeing the world is subjective, and that some people in good faith can disagree?

Oh right, the Internet is why.
>Depending on the manufacturer this is true for most of the car nowadays, right?

I believe so. I was thinking specifically of the OS work and how it would be contracted out to a provider, and the hardware for the Infotainment would go out to another.

> I watched an engineering teardown of the new all-electric Mustang Mach E recently and they even used different vendors (which produced parts of vastly different calibers of quality) for the rear and front motors[0].

One of the interesting things about EVs is that a lot of traditional OEMs don't have the expertise in-house, so things like motors (which would normally be something in-house) end up being designed and manufactured by someone else.
That Canada hasn’t seen similar protests for other forms of mandatory vaccination suggests that they are not simply anti-vaccine mandate.
Wendelstein 7-X is for plasma science, it is not intended to fuse anything.
Agree and disagree. I agree the language is confusing, but also I personally don’t care which one it is from a safety standpoint. Even thought it’s a software update, I want that to carry the same negative connotation as a hardware problem. I’m genuinely getting worried about the attitude of “it’s just a software update no big deal.” It’s our lives at stake either way and I don’t really care what the root cause is. If my car isn’t working, that’s not ok
Western Governor's University [1] is a good deal for IT-related online degrees. They are $3920 per 6 month term, no matter how many or few classes you take that term. You can take the tests for most classes without having taken the class and get credit for passing, so if you already know a subject required for the degree would can satisfy the requirement that way.

The cost of certifications that you earn along the way are included in the $3920.

Here's a page about their IT degrees from WGU Washington [2].

As an example of the certifications included, here is what they bachelor's degree in network operations and security includes: CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, CompTIA Project+, CompTIA IT Operations Specialist, CompTIA Secure Infrastructure Specialist, Axelos ITIL®1 Foundation, LPI Linux Essentials, Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Amazon AWS SysOps Administration-Associate, and Amazon AWS Cloud Practitioner.

I don’t refute anything you say, but linking to a page that features Glenn Beck, Mark Levin and Tucker Carlson doesn’t help your case. Not to mention the clear partisanship and call for donation to the “American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology” - a rabbit hole I’m happy to avoid.
You don't have to be able to imagine all the contexts. You can imagine at least some of them if you think about it. And it's better to think seriously about them rather than to not.

I have been using Tweetbot with the above strategy for over 5 years maybe longer. Works so wonderfully that sometimes I don't get what the fuss is about ... since I never use the timeline. The lists are easily visible in Tweetbot but I think in the Twitter client it is an extra click or 2 to get there and that makes me not use the official Twitter client.

This is heavily biased by the dataset, I suspect. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it's just a list of which languages have high-paying employers who put salary in their job listings. That a crypto thing is top of the list, I take as (soft) evidence in favor of that suspicion.

Anyway, what everyone really wants to know is where some sweet spot of current-comp, comp-five-years-from-now, and availability-of-jobs, lies. I don't think this list helps much with that.
