I would advise working for a small company. Small company's usually have a backlog of unrealized dreams and if you're careful you can take on extra projects which interest you. Small company's have plenty of downsides like lack of clear career path, lack of HR resources (like guidance on how family leave works), lack of clear roadmaps, etc. but flexibility is an upside and that can help you keep your job in the role you want.

Just my two cents, coming from someone who has worked mostly for small companies but often observed big companies through the lens of a consultant.
Figma has been great new thing that simply did not exist ten year ago. I know a co-founder of a competitor to Figma called fluid UI. That was working on that around that time. Shiny new stuff in other words.
It seemed to me there was a sort of victory or death kind of dynamic.

If you think of defeat like death, then surrendering means you die sooner. Military leadership and civilian suicides in the face of defeat were not uncommon.

In the meantime I don't think Japan allowed for many different points of view on the topic and even expressing it might be risky / the same result.

Personal Anecdote: when I was in an office (before current WFH) and I was mentally exhausted I would go down to the gym, slam slam balls into the floor for 2 minutes without stopping, maybe take a 30 second cold shower, then return to work. Super refreshing and I was gone from my desk a grand total of like 8 minutes.
Nah, they'll give you a shitty phone, 0.1mm thinner, advertise a lot of features that you don't need, and you'll pay the higher price to cover the cost of advertising.
> I disagree that bash needs to be cryptic

But it's not a developer's choice - Bash's syntax is cryptic itself. Here's a random sampling of common patterns:

Arrays:

- `${#myvar[@]}`: unreadable

- `mapfile myvar < <(grep pattern file)`: "mapfile" is not exactly a clear term (there's the synonym
"readarray", but "mapfile" is the reference; worse, you may find both used inconsistently); the
command as I wrote it also has two problems

Strings:

- `${myvar##.*}`: unreadable

- `echo $(IFS=,; echo "${myvar[*]}")`: unreadable; most also don't know the difference between `[@]`
and `[\*]`; this doesn't also work for two-char join operations

- `[[ $myvar =~ $(echo '\bpattern\b') ]]`: unreadable, and most don't know why command substitution
is needed

Redirections:

- `3>&2 2>&1 1>&3`: most don't know what this means

One can certainly get an idea of what's going on; but one gets an idea of what's going on also when reading assembly with labels.

There are benefits to this if you are deploying something like a 5G microservice or some other single-purpose, small binary that takes few resources but at the end of the day if you are deploying a JVM application that is gigabytes in size it doesn't really matter how small the base image is. Same thing applies in unikernel-land.

The 1 gig limitation on clouds is not such a huge deal though as we can upload your image, however small it is as that size and then tell the cloud to provision the disk the size you need which acts kind of like a sparse file (but technically not one).
I've managed people who were performing at a senior level after 3 years of experience and I've managed people who were performing at a junior level after 10 years of experience. Both categories are outliers but they do exist.

Jeesh, I wondered about that confounding variable but dismissed it, thinking surely they would have the sense to split their subjects so that half did 440 the first day and half did 432 the first day.

It seems completely unsurprising that one would be slightly more relaxed the second day than the first.

Edit: In another comment someone mentions that this study was split the way I would have expected so hopefully they did account for schedule at least. Unfortunately I'm not seeing an easy way to access the whole paper to verify.
I can't wait to find out in 5 years that this approach ends up being used for something nefarious like automatic threat detection and elimination to allow some Boston Dynamics robot to autonomously shoot people.

That would be really sad and I genuinely hope it doesn’t happen that way. Honestly, it’s one of my biggest fears. How do we make such a seismic shift with the fewest number of casualties?

This article matches up with most of my own findings as well. I've been using Sidekiq for almost 10 years now. I currently use it with a project that just hit over 1 billion jobs.

To me, Sidekiq is the perfect example of keeping something simple. A basic Redis + Sentinel deployment with persistence enabled and multiple read replicas has allowed me to achieve this.

Scaling Sidekiq workers is also incredibly easy. I have dedicated job queues for various categories, and I simply create a new Kubernetes deployment for each category. Each deployment is set to only process a specific queue. This allows me to throttle how quickly each queue gets processed, simply based on replica/pod count.
I think "debate" is a poisoned word because it suggests there is a battle between two different positions.

If English isn't your native language you can be excused for not knowing the precise meaning of similar words, but on the other hand Hacker News is under current assault from people who want to drive away discussion on anything other than "debates" about vaccination, cancel culture, the role of women in society and similar topics.

I think the OP wants to have a "discussion" and my contribution to that is that this is the first I heard there was any trouble with mobile phones in Portugal and the best way to build consciousness of this is not even to have a "discussion" (lots of people are just going to roll their eyes at this) but rather post an article about it, wait for the article to drop to the bottom of the "new" page, post another article, and probably one will hit.

(e.g. it doesn't help that Portugese is a somewhat obscure language but I had no trouble reading the press release that you linked to even though I am just a little bit self-taught in Spanish.)

I've recently discovered jemalloc, specifically when used with Heroku.

"Using jemalloc instead of regular malloc helps too. The exact way to do this depends on the platform you use, but it is pretty simple on Heroku. Just set heroku-buildpack-jemalloc as the first buildpack (ahead of the heroku/ruby buildpack)."

FYI, remember to set JEMALLOC_ENABLED=true in your env to actually turn it on.

Thanks for trying it out. I don't want to take to discussion too off topic, but if I can try to answer in general terms, I think that it is not just that the search results on Google have been getting worse, the user experience has been too. There has been very little real innovation in how search works in the last 20 years, so it is good to try new approaches.

With different views like compact vs visual, our feeling is that it's good to give people choices. If you get chance on desktop with Andi, try a search and then under Search Results, click "Change View", and try some of the other views. List view gives straight compact text results, and there is a Hacker view that presents results in the same information dense view as HN. That's my favorite. There is even a view Goggles that has a similar format to Google circa 2000 :)

I'd love to chat more with you about this, and it is a great topic for when we share what we're building in its own thread here. Just based on feedback, we have two fairly passionate groups of early users on this topic - some love the conversational interface and others just want it to look like Google. So the approach we're taking is to give people choice.
Indeed, from TFA;

"assertTrue also accepts a second argument, which is the custom error message to show if the first argument is not truthy. This call signature allows the mistake to be made and the test to pass and therefore possibly fail silently."
I was half expecting by the end that the punchline of WCIYF was going to be either IO (the Haskell data type) or Java's checked exceptions, the latter of which is mentioned in WCIYM.

Before we get to the end of WCIYF, we could freely substitute in async (promises); the possibility of exceptions (Java-style checked exceptions in particular); outside-world interactions (Haskell IO); or anything else.

Of course, what we experience in Haskell and other strongly-typed functional languages is that we colour our functions all the time! Not just red and blue; but sometimes green, or yellow, or a combination of several colours at once!

Why is it so ergonomic in a language designed around this concept? What we see in JavaScript is that having the colours (effectively, the monadic wrappers) isn't enough. We also need tools for abstracting and generalising these notions, so that composition goes from being a syntactic disaster to a semantic convenience.

"There's a difference between "no one wants to rot in a bad relationship" and "no one wants to put the effort and time to make a relationship work", though."

I am not sure, if I understand you right, but you seem to romantize the old version of marriage relationships.

Well, as far as I know, they had only very rarely something to do with love, but rather with violence and domination and "making the relationship work" meant beating the wife to submission.
And one of the written duties of a wife were sex, whether they wanted, or not, so basically rape.

And the thought of leaving an abusive partner was considered sin, with real punishment (sometimes torture to death) for making those thoughts real.

It has not been even so long ago, that these laws were abolished in the west. And to my knowledge, they still exist de facto (or even de jure) in many parts of the world.

The only reason I can think of, of "making a relationship work", is when there are already kids, who need stability. Then both adults should get their act together and work it out like responsible, mature people. But in the cases I have witnessed, the children usually were acting more mature, than their parents.
What about gig work? If you can do it super fast, you can take a lot of jobs at the same time and multiply your earnings.

I just want to pick on this point a little -

> Speculation is not what is damaging the real estate market. It's local zoning boards preventing construction. It's simple supply and demand -- demand for housing far outstrips supply.

At the most technical/fundamental level you are correct. However, it glosses over how a lot of that demand is sort of artificial and certainly temporary. A lot of the increase in demand is wealthy people buying up housing to feed AirBNB/VRBO/etc. As areas move to increase supply to match demand we will end up with multiple instances of, essentially, Detroit or Italy. As family numbers dwindle, reproduction rates drop, and Boomers die off (they're a very large generation), the demand for housing is going to start falling pretty substantially in the next decade. We'll be left with unwanted housing which leads to vacant properties which leads to crime which leads to devalued property. And we'll be right back to selling homes for $1 or demolishing them just to protect the occupied ones next door.
> you should just bite the bullet and make everything red

I agree! It's also what I've been seeing in i.e. Scala, where everything is converging to a single Monad. And in that case, monads are basically unnecessary. The point of them is to be able to customize your function colors.

Just use a language whose semicolon/newline semantics reflect the functionality you'd otherwise get with your "red" monad stack.

For me that means Go, where everything is async by default.
The Japanese Government didn't want an unconditional surrender as it would have meant the Emperor (Who was seen as quasi-divine) would have potentially been tried for war crimes and executed.

Western ‘Megadrought’ Is the Worst in 1,200 Years
>Not counting the octave, there are seven fairly nice fractions here. Hmm. Seven. What a conspicuous number.

There's seven nice fraction because of how they were rounded.

But there's no explanation of why he rounds 1.682 to 5/3 but doesn't round 1.587 to the even closer 8/5.

It's because scales are a social construction, not a result of vague math.
What about this answer: working at a company like Palantir means you're morally compromised - a mercenary who will trade their skills to objectively make the world a worse place by contributing to a system that exploits and oppressed people. Founding a company like Palantir makes you an even more morally compromised, to the point where people taking advice about interviewing from you is farcical.
Oh yes, exactly how big minds on r/cryptocurrency said recently - gamers from r/gaming and r/pcgaming don't know how to properly play games and don't see true benefits of play2earn promised by crypto apologists; and programmers on r/programming are one month juniors after online courses who have no idea about computer science, blockchains and finance. Yes, that is definitely what's going on.

Hacker News community takes on advertising never fail to entertain
So just curious - the Japanese (unlike every other industrialized power) moved their factories into their urban and rural areas to protect them - What alternative would have you suggested that would still eliminate the ability of the Japanese to build machines of war?

From wikipedia:
"Over 50% of Tokyo's industry was spread out among residential and commercial neighborhoods; firebombing cut the whole city's output in half."

If a single raid in Germany had cut the total Ruhr's capacity by 50%, allied bombers would have tried to do that every day of the war.

That Japanese did this decentralization even though it cost them the ability to scale up their production. This is why Japanese production completely collapsed as the war moved forward, unlike the Germans, Soviets and Americans who all had their production skyrocket throughout the war. That's how committed they were to using their population as shield to protect it from the inevitable bombers.

So tragic it was - but let's remember that this program was deliberate by the Japanese leaders - a deliberate effort to use their own population as civilian shield to continue their rape and massacre of the rest of Asia.

A Visit to Intel’s D1X Fab: Next Generation EUV Process Nodes
For physical banks, every piece of stationary from my bank states their domain name so once I have a DV verified showing I'm actually connected to that domain I can trust it.

For online banks, I only got to them online by which automatically means I have their correct domain name.

The question of how I get the online bank's domain name to begin with does not really come in to this conversation, can be an ad, a friend etc.
Ha. I had an intern who wrote code that blew up if the timestamp of our DB server was ever >= 1 second after the timestamp of our app server.

It couldn't fail at his desk, because he ran both servers locally while developing. And it wouldn't fail in production in the morning, since we had a cron job that synced the clocks at midnight. It took until after 5pm for the clocks to drift enough, meaning I was on call and the intern was not.

But the bug didn't crop up until his code had been in production for a couple of weeks, so it was a real pain in the neck to track down.
If faced with massive destruction and extremely high anticipated civilian casualties with absolutely no hope of victory...yes, surrender is totally rational

Once the US took Guam, the war was over (Guam was close enough to Japan to enable the US to enact a campaign of unlimited bombing). From that point forward, continued conflict was a matter of Japanese leaders sacrificing their own citizens for absolutely no gain
I think with React the core functionality / idea is much more simple than you'd imagine. The complexity evolves out of the add-ons and library situation, some do simplify the situation though, I find Next.js React apps incredibly powerful and easy to build on top of.
Then tailwindcss simply isn't the right tool for your use case. It's not a framework that could replace Bootstrap, but rather a very thin abstraction over css with an opinionated way of using it (effectively inline style).
I’d be interested in getting others’ views on this, but it strikes me that headlights and their angle or height can sometimes be thought about as part of the “size/arms race” of vehicles. They say if you’re in the bigger vehicle in an accident, you’re safer, and maybe folks also think if you’re in a massive lifted truck you’re also less likely to be blinded by another vehicle. I personally drive an old Corolla and I am sick of being blinded by almost every other vehicle in the road these days. It’s to the point where it almost feels like a full on hazard because I literally can’t see for a few seconds while approaching oncoming headlights. My subjective experience is that it is getting worse.
Needless to say, but I am very happy with this news and potential change.
How does that help (much) in the case where some rando can get an EV for "Stripe, Inc."

The idea behind EV was almost a good one - but you'd need a central authority that can say "This Nissan is the Nissan you're expecting" which is nearly an impossible problem at scale (see https://nissan.com vs https://www.nissanusa.com).

What has happened is Google is the central authority for 90% of the web - you search the company and click the link (which maybe is an ad to a scam site?).

How? If I want a unit of any cryptocurrency, I have to hand over an equal value of USD to obtain it.

My employer can't pay me in crypto because they only have USD flowing in to their business in exchange for their products and services.

What you describe would require basically the entire economy to somehow abandon its fiat currency and switch to crypto - - - I think if this scenario is supposed to be taken remotely seriously, you have to explain how that scenario is supposed to develop - something more than hope that in the future...
The benchmarks in the gVisor docs above are using ptrace, and they don't look too shabby.
You had a 67% chance of being killed on your first tour with British Bomber Command, rising to 85% after two tours. Were the airmen "alright" with that statistic too, when they were forced into a cockpit? There wasn't much of a choice in the matter for the average soldier on the ground (or in the air) on any side in that great conflict. Most of them were conscripts and desertion potentially carried the death penalty even on the Allied side. That loss of individual agency is part of the war's many horrors; whether you were alright with it or not was quite irrelevant.

It's worth noting psychiatric casualties for bomber crews, for the Allies at least, were sky-high with about a quarter of those not killed in combat being discharged for mental breakdowns. Whether that rate of breakdown is from the extreme risk, or from sometimes coming back smelling like burning flesh, is up for debate.
Yes, but you didn’t answer my question with anything meaningful, despite my direct interpretation of your stance on this. Surely, you should think of an solution before such a hopeful proposal?
Three options spring to mind:

- Start your own company, either products or services

- Join a startup that is generous with equity, as an early employee

- Join a worker co-op (not that many of these generally, but IME they're overrepresented in software)

You basically want skin in the game, from the sounds of it, and employment generally doesn't offer this (intentionally).
The OP was talking about hundreds or thousands of icons -- tough to have an easy way to have meanings for all of those. Also the OP showed some icons -- it was not at all obvious what the meanings were.

Right, for an icon, commonly, hovering the mouse over the icon causes the display of a word or two or so of English that defines the icon. So, I'm suggesting, just use the word or two of English instead of the icon.
