It’s very difficult to get paid a multiple of your colleagues in the same role even if you’re multiples more effective. It’s more possible to command a high day rate as a consultant, so long as you can give people confidence you’re able to deliver.

Another option is fixed price, fixed scope builds. You price in line with the rest of the market, then build it fast and pocket the profit.

Both of these, however, require a lot of work that is Not Programming. You’ll need do some sales, some client management, some project management, etc. That’s the gig, but these things can be fun too.

The big factor is that you’ll be 100% exposed as to whether the high volume of code you’re putting out is all truly effective. Your clients on the above kinds of projects don’t care how much code you wrote and they may never see your PRs. They care if their thing does what they wanted it to do. You have to deliver value, not just code. That can be exhilarating, just make sure you’re ready for it.
Have you read Heinlein's Starship Troopers?

While not exactly your setup, it explores what happens in a society like this.
Those are called "load-follow" designs. Not "newer designs". They are almost as old as the discovery of fission itself.

American nuclear submarines use them, as does France's power generating reactors.
It’s way more complicated than that, I know that the US narrative is quite strong, but taking a step back is a good thing here, there’s way more ambiguity than some may realise: https://www.atomicheritage.org/history/debate-over-japanese-...

As a climber, I found this example of type III fun hilarious:

> Offwidths

For those not familiar, they involve shoving part of your body into a crack and trying to wriggle your way up. The shoulder/knee jammed in may keep you from falling out while also introducing a significant chance of getting stuck and needing rescue. Meanwhile the majority of your weight outside the crack creates an uncomfortable/painful torque.

And yet, there are people who actually enjoy offwidth climbing. Personally I've enjoyed the challenge, but the ones I've climbed has led to days of pain afterwards. There's still an allure to attempting them though.
Probably not for a long time. We can't even see human made structure on the earth from orbit let alone the moon. Except lights at night.
I use DuckDuckGo half the time and it is good. I think using a mix of search engines is a good first step.

Yes, house construction methods need to get modern. Most construction automation is labor savers, drill, nailers, gluers, foam extruded baseboards - but, people HAVE to have a place to live. The move to online work has helped many.
Book Review: Sadly, Porn
Yeah, that's the thing - the people who do have the experience largely either don't share (heavily introverted/low social presence overall, takes too much time to write blog posts, open source various efforts with poor documentation) or can't share (proprietary knowledge). Most of what you're going to find is low quality. The reality is that, if they're not career programmers who have spent x amount of years at a AAA developer, the code is probably bad. Even if they have, there's a chance that the code is bad. Most of what you're going to find is definitely of the "if it works, we're done" variety (part of this has to do with the time and effort that it takes to make games in general).

If you want "rigorous software engineering," you really have to look at formerly commercial (or even still commercial) games that have been open-sourced and try and figure things out from there. Good learning materials are just hard to find. That's why I said just build stuff. You build it, you apply whatever optimizations to the structure or code itself, and you learn good practices through experience.
Energy storage has gotten a lot better in the last few years, just as solar and other things have. Most of the plants in the US are decades old.

That said, I'm not saying it'll completely solve the problem- just increase efficiency and reduce the problem.
Good. I look forward to this enforcement in my city. I currently live against a major road. During the night, the traffic noise isn’t disturbing, except for about one vehicle in a thousand. And that motorcycle wakes me at 3am. For weeks on end. My neighbor’s kid’s motorcycle. On his way to work at 3am, has to gun it when turning out of the neighborhood, waking everyone. These are neighbors who had shot their next door neighbor’s cat, so unlikely to adapt their actions based upon my request. I’d happily pay for this device for my town. And yes, I’ve investigated soundproofing my bedroom. Quote was around $16k. Multiply that by the dozens of neighbors he wakes each night, and he forces everyone else to bare hundreds of thousands of dollars in upgrades so he can make noise at 3am. As much as I don’t want to step on anyone’s “freedoms”, noise sucks.
Supporting themes imposes an ongoing technical burden across the whole ecosystem. It's not worth it. You don't hear people say "I hate macs because I can't make my title bars purple".
The investment analogy is a pretty great one in my opinion, and very timely given what I think we're all sort of agreeing is a set of asset bubbles driven (mostly) by "accommodative" monetary policy.

When an asset class is going up and up and up, FOMO can get even serious professionals to go long at a (relatively) high price, and gloss over the risk management. When things correct a bit, a lot of folks realize they hadn't managed the risk and get short "before it gets any worse".

This is probably the most common way to buy high and sell low, and while retail investors probably do more of this than hedge fund managers, hedge fun managers also do it.

Dollar cost averaging into a diverse set of ETFs is the simplest and cheapest thing that gets you highly competitive returns (at least to date). But I think that this is more to do with how much it takes emotion out of the picture than that SPY is like, ideal. Buffet, and Michael Burry, and others have demonstrated that if you're willing to spend years to decades of 16-hour days reading public filings in a drab office, it's not "hard" to beat the S&P. But those people are a lot more dispassionate about their trades than I am, and I suspect than most people are.
What if you don't want the same applications with the same interface modalities on different devices? Shouldn't we be much more concerned about data portability than application portability?
Oh god, you know you've become anal about bash when you can actually vaguely understand what is going on.

I mean it's parameter expansion, just flip down to that section of the manpage, and then there is posix regex in there. Not too difficult to look up in the manpages.
The problem here is that "tritone" has varying definitions, including at least: half an octave, three whole tones, two minor thirds, and that particular in JI, that leaves things a bit wooly to say the least.

It appears fairly conventional to say at least that the lesser undecimal tritone is the 11th harmonic, which corresponds to a ratio (folded into the octave) of 11/8, but other defintions (64/45 or 45/32 for example) also exist.
I see you did not read my g'parent comment in this thread, wherein you can see I read it.

notapenny questioned the relevance of SideburnsOfDoom's reference to the 'anti-democratic political right wing'. I mis-read it as notapenny not following the earlier part of SideburnsOfDoom's comment. notapenny corrected my mistake. I suggested SideburnsOfDoom's comment is still reasonable because we also have to ask why there's a link to a discussion of Thiel's views in the first place.

For examples: were he a Joe Blow, would we even be talking about it? How does his fame and wealth connect to his beliefs and action plans and to the type of people he wants to hire? Does future discussion of his views, w/o further context, unduly raise his fame or whitewash his views?
They were ready to surrender with conditions. In the end the US allowed them to surrender with a single condition regarding the emperor. Is there any information regarding what their other conditions may have been?
Unfortunately not... after prolonged use, my middle finger gets pretty painful from the mid-clicking. It's less ergonomic than a real button.

> actual currency

What is actual currency and why does it have value? And do you feel "actual currency" is perfect as-is with no room for any improvement?
I appreciate your pedantry, and I wonder if you know of a widely used computer system which genuinely implements the GMT time zone as something different from UTC+0.

There may be some niche astronomical or legal(?) applications which have to keep track of the potential 0.9 seconds skew, but my impression is that any app which claims to support a "GMT" (or Europe/London) option is actually only supporting "GMT-ish".
Not the person you're replying to, but I have the same issue. The phone OS is indeed a way to get to apps for me. And the problem is that the "alternative" phone OSes don't have access to apps that I've woven into my day-to-day-life: banking apps, contactless payments, video streaming, music streaming, etc.

None of these are available on platforms other than iOS or Android, unfortunately. Some of them have web experiences, but they're terrible on mobile when compared to their app.

I, too, would love to run a mobile-optimized Linux desktop on my phone, but it's not about the desktop, it's about the apps and functionality it gives me access to. So I'm stuck with Android for the time being.

What would be really cool is if these alt mobile OSes could perfectly emulate Android to the point that Google's SafetyNet would believe that everything is a-ok. Not sure if that's even technically possible, but could help bridge the gap and allow alternative OSes to gain some market share among people who aren't willing to give up many of their usual mobile apps.

> What is an ideal phone for you, and how would Linux help achieve that experience?

The main bits for me are privacy and control. I refuse to use an iPhone because I viscerally hate Apple's stranglehold over the platform. I very reluctantly use Android, hating that Google is always watching. A fully-open mobile OS where I get to choose what runs on it, how it runs, and what access it gets would solve both of those problems.
Neeva results are on par with Google 2-3 years ago (meaning they're better than Google is now).

I switched to Kagi because Neeva was recommending me InfoWars content. Why can't anyone just make a search engine? Why do algorithmic recommendations have to pollute everything?

Anyway, Kagi is good so far but I haven't tested it enough to say how results compare.
Absolutely. We don't have a timeline on it as of yet, but we've received several requests for IBKR support (especially from developers building apps that serve non-US markets), so it's something we'll be looking into soon.
Technology isn't the reason nuclear is expensive. Regulation is.
I guess XFCE will be either moved to QT5 or, maybe, as a crazy move, rewrite everything in Motif.
Many people in music know the answer to that and related questions. Sometimes the answers prove interesting, as you say. What I'm saying is that I don't think questions like that are a useful/effective route to understanding music more broadly. They (questions like that) seem like they're interesting, because they appeal to us as programmers somehow (math-y), but they are largely on the fringe of the broad body of knowledge that makers of current popular music (say) operate with. You wouldn't expect a musician to come into programming saying, "so what's the equivalent of sonata allegro form in a typical computer program?" It would be applying the wrong paradigms/framework to the topic at hand.
Why does the following expect arguments:

: sub {};

Don't all perl subroutines allow any number of arguments (including 0) to be passed?

Does the fact that the above is an anonymous subroutine affect the answer to my question?
It seems like credit card chargebacks are designed for exactly this situation.
> I refuse to believe that google can be so stupid as to do this after over two decades of development in natural language processing.

I don't. They might have spent those decades speeding up and scaling their ability to be stupid. Stupidity at scale describes a pretty significant chunk of the internet.

Anyway, I don't think misinterpreting your intent on this type of search really costs them much, it seems like an edge case example to me.
IIRC they have one of those bogus arbitration clauses in their ToC. I told them I wanted them to appoint an arbitrator and now they won't respond at all.

And as someone who litigates for shits and giggles, it can be pretty expensive in Small Claims, about $400 often just to file and do service on the defendant. And some courts won't accept suits that are less than the filing fee. And a lot of the time you can't get back your costs from the defendant either. And.. I'm not sure you can sue the bank for not charging back. I guess the correct process is to sue the merchant for never delivering the merch.

1) Use the extension which always redirects you to old.reddit.com (https://github.com/tom-james-watson/old-reddit-redirect).

2) Only browse all.reddit.com, as there's no telling when a new subreddit will pop up that you'll enjoy.

3) Use the Reddit Enhancement Suite (RES) to filter out any subreddits you see that you're not interested in. I currently have 3,557 subreddits blocked.

4) Create backups of your RES settings in case of disaster.

5) Use the ability to tag users as often as you deem necessary, and block the truly heinous users. You'll see those tags pop up often.

The OP website is a replacement of a site that was replaced with pkg.go.dev .

Said replacement was created because there were people who didn't like the change, and so fixed it themselves.

Edit:

Also a heads up: People on HN tend to take questioning downvotes poorly, and the site guidelines say to not do so.

In this case, it's probably because you didn't look into OP at all before commenting, and completely disregarded both your parents comment as well as the OP.
I'm not sure. For example on a few occasions I fell asleep after taking MDMA or LSD(it's rare I know), well when I woke up I didn't feel any better, I just felt tired and dehydrated, whereas 99% of the time I feel AMAZING mentally the day after tripping(and I done lsd about 50 times, mdma about 15-20 times)

On LSD I would often spend hours writing a ton of stuff and have in-depth thoughts about my life and everything that went wrong with it, also I would laugh a ton, and everything was 10x as pleasurable, it's really like a mini nice vacation/spiritual retreat for me, and of course that didn't happen if I slept on it, so basically no benefits if I was not actually tripping and conscious that I was tripping.

I think it's proven empirically.

"In fact, since non-psychedelic medications exist for treating depression,"

Yes except usually antidepressants may only work after at least 4 weeks, and if you stop them you're usually back to depression(if they even work...), and they're also just trying to make serotonin have stabler levels while psychedelics can make you change your whole point of view on life or help fix past trauma.

"don't seem to be as effective for some people." some people? I'd say most people, even after trying multiple antidepressants you're still not that likely to stop being depressed, there is a huge study reproducibility problem, probably caused by the billions of dollars that SSRIs generates.

So really not comparable to drugs that can potentially create paradigm shifts in your brain after one use.

I don't think we'll fix depression with regular drugs.

It'll either be psychedelics assisted psychotherapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation(80% effectiveness in a recent Stanford study), or brain implants.

And especially not with psychedelic analogs, we're just likely to destroy the lives of hundreds of people during clinical trials, messing with psychedelics analogs sounds like a terribly stupid/insane plan.
Because the employer judgement is often shit. So becoming an absolute baddass in $obscure_language isn't good for your CV, even if it can be great for your skills as a programmer.
GNU/Linux phones are about FLOSS. Of course the apps have the data portability, too.
You bring up a good point with respect to the "Google for everyone else" technologies. The fact is that very few organizations are the size of Google (or have the SRE team / expertise that Google does). Zanzibar works at Google because they have a geo-scale private fiber investment, and an SRE team that can operate many global instances. The cache consistency elements of Zanzibar are the hard problem here.

We chose a more pragmatic approach with Aserto. We believe that most authorization problems can be expressed as a combination of rules and data. A system that is 100% rules or 100% data isn't pragmatic.
it's made worse by the fact that tooltips are unavailable for mobile users
Tar doesn't use any sort of index like zip does, so to extract the specified file the server side would need to parse through possibly the entire file just to see if the requested file is there, and then start streaming it. Requests for files that aren't in the tar archive would be prohibitively expensive.

There are definitely ways to do it without those problems, though. They just wouldn't be quite as simple as the approach done for supporting zip.
You said that it was possible to predict when Japan will surrender. Can you do that trick again, please?
No, gateway mode is EOL'ed and it is not taking any new features
You do however see many complaints when an app doesn’t support dark mode (which is closer to the typical use case of themes).

Additionally, see my other comment about accessibility, which is also negatively impacted by hardcoded UI appearances.
Morality is too blunt of a tool for this kind of question. Right now we are way over-moralizing many issues and it's not helpful to a discussion.

Morality is useful to avoid rationalizing things that we know are wrong. For example, killing is wrong -- we don't want individuals making complex rationalizations about how the end justifies the means.

But something as complex as the place a person chooses to live? No, that's a morally-neutral choice. It may not be optimal for the benefit of society, but that's not what morality is about.
As you say, each of the characters is not a full 8 bits (namely a character out of an alphabet of 256), but chosen from a smaller alphabet of 96 characters, and log(96)/log(2) = log_2(96) ≈ 6.58, so 6.58 * 14 = 92 bits. Then I deducted a bit or two ad-hoc for the way they're drawn, with letters overrepresented. This could be computed more precisely. But it's not more than 93 bits, and not less than 83 bits, I'd say.
Some interesting historical context on construction costs:

100 years ago the cost of construction was about $45/sqft when adjusted for inflation and today it is closer to $220/sqft, approximately 5x the cost. Blue collar wedges are pretty similar across time, but the cost of house construction (ignoring land) is dramatically higher.

The 1914 sears Model 147 house was 900sqft and cost $872 for materials, estimated at $1,530 with labor.[1] Adjusting for inflation from 1914 to 2020, that is about $22,000 for materials and 40K with labor.

Looking at 1913 US national labor statistics, the average baker in 1913 San Francisco worked 54 hrs/wk and made $0.46 per hour for an annual wage of $1,291[2] (or 33K in 2020 dollars)

The median baker in 2020 California makes 36.5K/yr [3]. The cost of new housing construction is $220/sqft[4], or 200K for the same size house.

Love and empathy may well just be strategies that do well evolutionarily, but they are what we have. Without them we wouldn't be social animals because we'd have no problem killing each other -- "bribery" would not even have a place. I'd rather think of these qualities as noble than as mere evolutionary accidents that amount to "bribery".

Yes absolutely. Some of the authors are in the field since mid 2000s. As for me, I'm about to finish my PhD and try my luck researching game development. The dream is to build a video game research lab. But that might take some time.
Imagine what would happen in this imaginary world when GDP increases. More things are being produced which means there are more things that need to be sold. But there is a fixed number of coins to buy things with. Each coin has to be able to buy more things.
Totally agree about the Blub Paradox, but there's definitely value in Self Types. See, for example, [Kind](https://github.com/Kindelia/Kind), which is able to type recursive data types by using Self Types.
No. The difference was, the actual terms didn't leave the existing government in power, didn't leave Japan in control of its own territory, and didn't leave Japan in charge of prosecuting their own war criminals. Those are some fairly big differences.

If you compare the Japanese government after the end of the US occupation to the Japanese government in 1935, the difference is stark.
The recent "scaling down" of Linux Gtk+ apps also encompasses "diferent interfaces". Look at some of the convergence examples, and you'll see all sorts of widgets merge, move around and disappear behind "alternate" views as window sizes shrink, then come back as the windows enlarge again. It's a fully responsive interface that merges both styles of interaction seamlessly.
Concerns grow over Monero mining pool that has 44% of the network's hash rate
> We are throwing square footage away on multiple large bathrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 dining rooms

Two living rooms (well, “living” and “family”) and two (“formal” and, well, not) dining rooms are pretty common in 1960s homes at the size being discussed.

Bedrooms, bedroom closets, and kitchens are probably smaller than newer homes, though.

> The recent trend towards 4 story narrow houses doesn't help.

Tall, narrow houses have been a feature of urban single-family homes for a while, I don't think they are a new trend.
