The questions in the article are decent.

This one 'what steps would I need to take to get my next promotion?' - this is probably not the right way to ask the question.

The implication is that 'promotion' is kind of like progress you'd see in school, i.e. you get to stage 1, then 2 then 3 with increasing responsibility, experience and comp.

But reality is not like that, the company is interested in creating products, services, making money, and almost all organisations are pyramids in terms of operational structure.

This means that 'promotion' beyond just the lowest levels inherently competitive. Obviously it's political and nobody likes that part, but the reality is 'to get promoted to manager you need to be better than 80% of your peers and to director better than 98% of your peers' and what 'better' means is very subjective, and notably, not everyone gets promoted.

Also, instead of asking about the 'benefit to you' i.e. 'promotion' you might want to put it in terms of the value you can provide, and soften the question a bit by asking about 'career progress' etc. and avoiding the word 'promotion'.

It's a fair thing to ask about, but it's delicate.
I think you'd have a hard time as a shareholder arguing in court that an executive should have broken the law in order to get you a higher return.

Why were you surprised? Aside from the government mandated minimum CND content the majority of media Canadians consume is American.

Then consider that that, percent wise, the number of English speaking Canadians in Hollywood are over represented wrt non California (again, English speaking) North Americans.

Then the family mixing between Canadians and Americans is huge. Most famously the families of the draft dodgers, but Im always surprised by the number of Americans who tell me they had a Canadian grandparent.

Finally, like my uncle (who also lived in and travelled extensively in the USA and CND) told me when I first arrived to the US from Canada: there’s a larger difference crossing North America East-West than there is North-South. Look at MN. They sound like they’re from Thunder Bay.

In short; Canadians help make US media, Canadians consume US media, Canadians are intermarried w/ Americans and demographically its as hard to distinguish an urban Canadian (Vancouver, GTA) from an urban American (Seattle, Jersey) as it is to distinguish a flyover Canadian from a flyover American.
Thanks, I was struggling to do this 2 weeks ago, since I use cloudflare tunnel for everything. Had to resort to another service. This will be super helpfull.
Lovely piece—subject matter wise and for the authors subtle reasoning on meaning of discovery. Not so delicate you can’t follow along.

Personally, I learned to collect things in my younger days-—actual objects. Always at a monetary cost, so decisions hade to be made. I would console myself, leaving something behind, with the idea another person will find this something later and experience the joy of discovery. And I, this time will satisfy myself with the bitter sweet feeling of letting something go.
It would amplify the need for an inflation-proof money.

So a 40 percent drop in bitcoin over the last 3 months wasn't enough "amplification" for you?

All indications are that bitcoin (and crypto in general) is some of the least stable and least inflation proof money available.

And if it wasn't for the stabilizing effects of Tether fraud, the situation would be even worse. Tether exists as proof that it's really hard to manufacture stability out of nothing but electrons.

How do you know these blobs fix anything and aren't just padded up for checksum dofference? Do you disassemble and analyze these things? Do you trust companies?

In my experience, most security patches are future proofing. What's wrong with having a locked down firewall, not running weird software, and setting up apparmor or selinux?

the most expensive part of any video is the salary for the work time of the employees. professional preparation would easily multiply the cost of each video, which will force bluebrixx to charge more for their products.

in the spirit of the original topic "lego has changed since we were kids": the biggest change is that now many alternatives exist. those alternatives are cheaper and offer more choice.

more professionalism would be nice, but i for one prefer that the prices stay low. the added benefit of more professional videos is not really worth the extra expense. better to spend that time on resolving quality issues on the actual products.
I'm a bit more in the middle. I don't know all of the "male" words, and I do know some of the "female" ones, though I still strongly lean "male". I'll ask my wife what she thinks.

> simple changes having quite a large spread through the codebase due to the strong typing

The opposite is true in my experience and refactors are usually well bounded.

The "killer feature" of Ada is that types are not modules for writing behavior (in general). This means that syntactically, you can move functions/procedures around somewhat freely because encapsulation and namespacing is done at the package level. It leads to a lot more appropriate data and responsibility hiding, and avoids wasted time considering "is this a method or a (standalone) free function?"
That's unfair! Many of us also own stock in them.

Except my family didn't understand there was no way to save/load programs without the tape cassette accessory.

So I spent the first few months memorizing and typing in code every day after turning it on, lol

Totally aced typing class after that though.

That is why I never liked C and never changed my mind regarding it being a step back (several actually).

Having done Turbo Pascal (3.0 - 6.0), before delving into C, was a eye opener for what a systems programming language should be able to offer as minimal set of abilities. Even the fact that C lacks something like New() is ridiculous, how many devs keep getting their array allocations wrong to malloc()?

C++ allowed me to have a bit of that Ada/Turbo Pascal feeling back.
I'd take a big pay cut to work for a co-op, green energy focused or other social/ecological good company. I just don't wanna work for a startup.
I don't find the energy/environmental arguments compelling. US military accounts for almost half of US fuel consumption, 10-20% of the federal budget, and hundreds of toxic waste sites throughout the world. Propping-up the petrodollar has been their primary occupation for at least the last decade, if not longer.
> it was one of the channel’s headline commissions for its new regional television news show We Are England. This new show replaced the long-running Inside Out regional current affairs series, which was cancelled as part of BBC funding cuts in a decision that resulted in many investigative journalists based outside London losing their jobs.

> Continuing cuts to BBC budgets and deep job cuts, caused by successive licence fee freezes, have been blamed for recent errors in the corporation’s news output, especially in regional English newsrooms.

Lack of funding lead to budget cuts which lead to worse quality journalism which will probably be used to justify reduced funding in the future.

If it's the same as the Dutch word "pessarium", I think it's a form of birth control. Got mentioned in sex-ed in school, though obviously not something I (as a man) ever had to use. I guess it makes sense for women to be more familiar with a device that only women ever use.
> Of course it does include these countries! Just like America does include Canada, Argentina and even France.

You were responding to a comment that claimed ""America" is used by US people as a synonym for the country, not the continent." (rightfully so, from my 6 years experience in the US). You responded by making a point that, similarly, Europe is used as a synonym for EU. Which many Europeans claimed it is absolutely not typical (rightfully so, as EU citizen). And now you're saying that the term "Europe" actually does include other, non-EU countries... Quite confusing, to be honest, what your point here is.

> I'm just saying the word "Europe" is in practice very often used, within the EU, as a synonym for European Union

Absolutely disagree, it's not common at all. People say EU when they think EU. It is quite common to refer to oneself as European, though, not Europunionan or whatever, when one is thinking of EU citizenship. And perhaps this is what you had in mind.
From the pure technology point of view not too hard, but there are business and logistics challenges. Apple is highly optimised to hold minimum stock near the customer and use a lot of just-in-time delivery, but this depends on a high product value relative to weight and volume of the parcel. Treadmills and exercise bikes are only really cost effective to ship by ocean.

It's also doubtful that the addressable market of an expensive treadmill or exercise product is large enough to be worth going after for Apple (even in the bumper year 2021 Peloton turnover was $4bil, not a viable business unit for Apple).
Uh, so I just realized how we are discussing how developers submitting pull requests to this project with this license are basically demonstrating publicly performance art style that they've broken copyright law. Or we give the benefit of the doubt and assume they are not testing their changes at all.
Funnily enough, PHP (like, old school PHP) is a surprisingly neat fit for this style of programming when combined with htmx[0]

Tiny amount of glue HTML attributes, a heap of partials that are your PHP files and you’re good to go.

What is old is new again I suppose: we used to do this with PHP and jQuery once upon a time too — though LiveView and similar are far nicer of course.

I’ve been working on some personal tools with nothing more than Deno and htmx. Works quite well for my needs!

Yeah. A friend the other day put it like, 'Yeah, internet conmen are charismatic'.

I would guess that many people are well aware that 85+% of NFT hype is based on scams, money laundering, and bagholders. But their voices get drowned out.

I feel bad for the people who fall for it; I do. And I even feel a little bad for the conmen who have to live with themselves.

However, the BBC have no excuse for letting such a documentary get so far without doing basic checks on a scamcoin that was so scammy it actually got shut down, four months ago. That's egregious.

Not supporting illegal wars for oil egregious, and not quite smearing Corbyn for years egregious, just ordinary "this is what happens when you put terrible Tories in charge" second order effects.
In this specific case you might be correct but in the general case this is not true. The uploader agreeing to something does not affect the rights of other authors than the uploader.

It's a question I've often wondered about, especially given how much crypto/web3 is talked about in the more mainstream media and how many developers seem to be interested in working in the field.

One thing I'd like to know is what is YCombinator's stance on crypto. Have they invested in crypto companies ? Do they have a policy against it ? Have Paul Graham or the other principals ever written about their views on the topic ? Because after all this is YCombinator's site and the views of those folks on most subjects have traditionally carried quite a bit of weight here.
I had no idea what a suppository is, but I do recognise pessary. But that's probably because suppository is completely different in Dutch, which is not the case for pessary.
I think that's needlessly cynical, and moreover does not align with my own experience in large and small corporations. I think that most folks in a corporation are trying to do well and do good. What you don't see is that 'politics' are one of the merits the corporate meritocracy is optimising for ­— and that 'politics' is just a single word shorthand for 'dealing with human beings.'

My experience has been that yes, both professors and managers have favourites: they tend to favour those who have positive, unselfish, engaged attitudes. And sure, that is itself selfish: positive, unselfish, engaged people are more pleasant to work with. And I have also found that those who complain the loudest — I include myself in that number, in my lesser moments — are those who are not engaging with the system as it is, rather than the system as they wish it would be.

The real trouble is that in a large enough organisation the system as it is may be so opaque that it really does defy understanding and consequently engagement.

Anyway, rather than assuming bad faith, try assuming good faith. But of course verify it, too!

Hicks has been dead for almost 30 years. Its not fair to say who he’d vote for today.

He was also preforming in the early 90s where Bush Sr. was conducting a stupid war that set the stage for our current collapse and imperial hubris.

Im a staunch Republican, but Im not going to pretend that the Bushes werent a curse and half of Reagan’s team were too (the other half got purged by Bush until the Pauls helped revive them).

If you want to hear Hicks skewer Democrats, Im sure Ive heard him going on about Tipper.

We don't really have Bauhaus influenced buildings in Germany there are only like 4 buildings still standing besides the campus in Dessau. Most of the architects went to Israel and build Tel Aviv which is the city with the most influence from Bauhaus architecture. The brutalist buildings in the 60s and 70s in Germany are not Bauhaus.
Hi HN, I shared an earlier version of this back in August. Conceptually it was based on the idea of creating a "GitHub for buildings", where you can create and analyze a version history of your home and all the changes you make to it over time. Based on the extremely helpful feedback I received, I've reimagined this as a collaborative home management "platform" instead, where project detail/history is just one part of the value proposition (on top of helping people take care of little problems around the house, taking care of their stuff, coordinating documents and people, etc.).
From the feedback, I think there's still some value to knowledge transfer between owners, but it's been completely de-prioritized in terms of roadmap work. I'm excited to help homeowners create "instruction manuals" for their homes instead.
Really appreciate any additional feedback - thanks
When is the world of software going to wake up? All programming languages suck, in one way or another. All frontend/backend paradigms suck, in one way or another. This constant churn of new, new, new is a waste. It gets replaced every few years, meaning all the time, effort and money sucked into it is gone. And engineers re-learn the same lessons over, and over, and over again. All so software engineers can be happy, because they just like doing new things in newly complicated ways. It's like changing how we build houses every few years just for fun, with no benefit to the people eventually living in that home. We're definitely not saving them money or building them any faster.

I like to think of the grand theories as compression actually. Before ZFC, we just had a ton of knowledge and we asked if can we derive this from some set of blatantly obvious axioms and a group of geniuses basically did something like LZW and now we have ZFC and other such foundational theories.

3) convert the world away from liquid fuels
- and for the cases we are unable to do that, make the fuels from captured atmospheric carbon.
