Oh no, I think I may qualify as a diehard now. Or at least a long time diehard user of a diehard CMS. xD Funny to see that word.

I still use TXP at [1] and others. Back in the day when I didn't know how to code, and yet too much reliance on Joomla and WordPress plugins was often disastrous (one of those small plugin vendors sold customer data to a very specific type of telemarketing firm, as a funny example), TXP tags absolutely saved the day. You could use them to write web apps with CRUD interfaces, with the help of the admin theme being utterly simple to style away using CSS.

You could create a new section within seconds, an instant /whatever endpoint with a blank textarea where you could place any content type or any code you wanted.

For example the smd_xml plugin (thanks Stef) where you could write e.g. <tag query="SQL query here" wraptag="p">{title}</tag> to show a quick list of favorite book titles from the DB or whatever content you wanted really. Combine that with another tag for getting GET and POST variables and voila, a lot was possible without leaving the admin interface.

Toward the end of my business-oriented TXP days, I was running a network of food and drink distribution & marketing websites which spoke to each other on the back end, hosted a sales material database (labels, product shots, PDFs) along with custom PDF creation tools for salespeople which drew on that database. All without learning to do web coding...and when I was ready to code I was _really_ ready because I had already made some minor fixes to plugins, which were editable via the admin panel directly.

(Did I mention that you install plugins by copying and pasting a plain text bundle into the admin? This clipboard install method is pretty amusing and easy on the brain)

To this day I enjoy using TXP. It's very lightweight, it has a learning curve, but it works great for blogging and lots of other things. Textile and Markdown both live comfortably in the same mind and it's nice to be able to work with both.

It lets you write (and run, but not every language) code in org files and tangle the output into more conventional source files.
Did you consult any physiologists? Anyone who knows what’s acceptable to those muscles? There’s a reason eye glasses use lightweight materials. Then all the various treatments to make the lenses visually clear and comfortable.
I started playing an Wordle-like app to get around the one-per-day limitation (I know, sue me), and played probably dozens of rounds per day. I ended up with a simple strategy of always starting with the same 3 words: LAUGH, DIRTY, JOKES which cover all the vowels (and y) and put an S at the end where it's most likely to be found. Generally I can "waste" the first 3 guesses on those words and still find the solution.

Then one day, I typed LAUGH and got 5 greens on the first line! Had to happen eventually, but still...
>When it comes to dealing with some governments who jumped onto this newfangled digitalization bandwagon, it looks like they have taken all the shit parts from the online processes, all the shit parts from the old paper-based processes and jumbled them together into the most abominable, inefficient form ever, while pretending to be so 21st century.

This isn't the case in many European countries. So many things are super easy to do in Sweden digitally. Denmark was also pretty good, one thing I liked about Denmark's system was how easy it was to get a hold of a real human.

>And don't get me started on home automation, the only things the existing home automation solutions really automate are frustration and despair.

The real home automation solutions are the washer, drier, and dish washer. Maybe also the robot vacuum (I've heard good things but never used one myself). These are all excellent, though I don't use my drier in favour of a rack.
I'm not seeing the snark in the email? Reiser was infamous for murdering his wife, and I'm guessing Wilcox doesn't want the discussion derailed by Reiser's sordid history.
Market value << supply:demand

When it comes to salary pricing. Companies respond to "We need employees but can't find any" much more quickly than "Our compensations seems off market averages."

Depends on what you consider freedom of speech. Canada's certainly a long way from a place like Pakistan or China but many Americans would argue "freedom to offend" is the most important part of freedom of speech.
>I’m blown away by how anti-crypto this discussion is. I hadn’t realized how negative the prevailing sentiment is on Hacker News.

There was a dream that was crypto once upon a time. It is now exclusively the domain of organized crime, grifters, and every imaginable permutation of ne'er-do-well you can possibly scrape up on the web. The entire space sickens and disappoints me.
I don't travel on the tube though, or pay for Starbucks, or whatever analogy you're trying to come up with. My current note taking solution - a folder with .md files - is free. What's the compelling argument for this app?

Granted, it's really difficult to compete with free, and the note taking space is probably one of the most saturated software markets there is.
id Software is the one that comes to mind. Even with the Zenimax acquisition and Carmack's departure, they don't seem to have lost their engineering chops. Doom 4 and Doom Eternal are known to run incredibly well.

What was snarky in the email? (Maybe it went over my head since I only have no reiser knowledge).

EDIT: ignore. Sibling asked the same while I typed my question.
Thanks for your support. Though our goal is for people to replace their PCs/Laptops with VR Computers as their primary computing device, we recognize this is a tall order and will require a lot of hard work and proof over time for people to see that they're actually better.

Mankind being eradicated by a self-aware Clippy seems prescient, deserved and a fitting end to the story.
It depends on where you are talking about and what the jobs are. As I pointed out there are some countries and employment sectors in the EU that do have persistent pay gaps that can't be explained away by life choices, and so it still makes sense for the EU to work on this issue, no matter how tired you might be of haring about it.
Yeah, I 100% agree. It's rather tonedeaf to criticise that commenter for diminishing the cost, and then diminish in exactly the same way the work involved in creating this.

And I'm so tired of the game of "describe a successful tech product in a way that makes it sound silly". Yeah, Twitter is just storing a load of VARCHAR(240)s, and Facebook is just an undirected graph, and Jackson Pollock's paintings are just splatters, etc. I could build it myself! Except... I don't, because it's not that easy, and I know it isn't when I think about it for more than 1.7 seconds.
Thanks, yes I was thinking of joke images
I mostly agree with you, but how does crypto.com's marketing relate to what I was talking about in the parent comment?

Watch transactions that people make and compare to what they do in real life. It is tedious work and takes time, but governments do similar things to investigates lots of crimes. If you murdered one person you would probably get away with it so long as you are not obvious about it (don't murder your wife - you become the obvious suspect and probably can't hide your trail), but most criminals commit several crimes and eventually all the different trail of evidence add up to an arrest. Likewise if you only have one crypto transaction you won't be found, but for crypto to be useful you need to use it and eventually that leaves enough of a real world trail to figure out who did what.

Fair point. However, if you read the literature of the time. You will see the exact same methods. The missing bit they could not do was mass targeting. It just was not feasible to do. They knew very well how to do it though. One on one sales where it was more feasible to do and more of what you see today. It is not refined per se, but more simpler to do. My father sold life insurance for years. One summer I was bored and took the advert classes on how to sell (mid 70s). It is all very familiar to what is done today.

Ragebait is not really new. You can see the exact same methods used in 'yellow journalism'. That is not a new term.

You can also read old magazines and see 'reviews'. When they are little more than thinly veiled adverts for that thing. Take the show 'computer chronicles'. Neat show, showed off tons of tech. But it was one giant advert for whatever they were showing off that week.

The only real big change is volume and cost of targeting has dropped to near 0. I could give that realtime A/B testing of campaigns is new.
>The best balance I can come up for crypto is to mandate KYC at all on and off ramps

That would drive the value basically to zero, since the entirety of all crypto market caps are based on their ability to facilitate digital crimes.
Yeah, we could even call this service...a bank. And then we wouldn't be protecting ourselves any more against our assets being frozen by law enforcement without due process. Which was supposed to be the whole point of using cash.
It's not that meme warfare is ineffective, they just didn't use the right meme.
That's... not snark?
Miners still receive it from transaction fees, so no. Although the economics of keeping the network secure in the face of no new bitcoin being created and many txns happening in side chains or rollups (or not happening at all) are untested.
Parsing series of integers with SIMD (2018)
Tanks in the streets make people uneasy, and filling jails with people who have, at most, an attenuated connection to illegal activity is not a good look. A smidge authoritarian, a tad dictatorial. So, faced with a three-week street protest that clogged downtown Ottawa, Trudeau did not follow his father’s example and call in the army or round up ideological sympathizers. He opted, instead, for less visible tools. But less visible doesn’t necessarily mean less severe. There’s more than one way to ruin someone’s life.

* The government’s action is troubling enough, but what should really disturb us is the ease and invisibility with which it is being done. When we can’t see the consequences of government conduct, the risks of government misconduct increases. A government that sends in riot troops to dispel a crowd will rightly pay a price if the police commit abuses. But the diffuse and anonymous nature of financial enforcement mean that sweeping repression can easily go undetected. It is the political equivalent of using drone strikes instead of boots on the ground.*

...

The fact that weaponizing the financial system against nonviolent protestors and their distant supporters was the government’s tool of first resort should worry anyone who understands the role of civil disobedience in democracy

Canada's democracy was seriously wounded by the people currently controlling its government. What's going to heal it?

My go to answer for that question has become "not enough to keep me there". Worded a bit nicer usually, though!
“Sustainability with Rust” post misleading about Go
Ha! Thanks for explaining - I almost understood that. "Tachyonic instability" sounded like some jargon from Doctor Who or Star Trek.
good grief, that is shocking (and presumably legal)! well, i guess not for long, assuming that FR adheres to such rules.
From my experience working in finance in London, no.

Good salary? Sure! Able to live comfortably with 50% salary (when rent is 30-50% of take-home pay)? Zero chance.

In practice the biggest impediment to even longer non-competes is legal risk; the tiny chance of an employee challenging the non-compete in court and the court ruling unreasonable or overly broad, would result in all other employees knowing their non-competes are effectively void.
Maths and English GCSEs (which is an exam pupils take at 16) are compulsory.

Intel seems to be making all the right moves. I'm excited to see what Pat Gelsinger can do over the next 5 years (I'm long INTC).
>* Employers would be prohibited from asking about an applicant's pay history

Would they be able to contact previous employer for this information. One of the thing I really hate is the amount of leverage your previous employer has over you.
Designing Parametric Insurance Products with ICEYE's Flood Monitoring Technology
This would be my concern too. The special sauce is in the integration of camera, headset and custom distro (much like remarkable is great because of the polish/software, not the hardware), but it's hard to see how this works, or if the Simula is practical, until you get it and try.

Is the experience seamless, does the display ever lag or cause nausea (I've had this before in VR envs) - does it get better/worse with long-term usage. Can you see via the cameras clearly enough that you never need take the headset off, even in the given "café" scenario? Is the headset comfortable enough for long-term use as a monitor replacement - does it get hot or sweaty?

As such, I'll wait for the reviews..
Oh, great! Thank you :)
Management = Misery
The actual reality is that your salary is not tied to your value, but to your negotiation skills (carried mostly by your leverage when you receive the offer)
My understanding of the paper is that it's pretty damn hard to get a new theory of gravity, other than general relativity. You might try and it might be ok at the perturbative level, but once you go to the strong field regime you are screwed, with development of instabilities. Their conclusion is applicable to a large class of modified theories of gravity.
Can you point out what you think is snarky there?
I presume by personality they're referring to Hans Reiser, the creator of ReiserFS, also a convicted murderer.

If you'd like to sync it yourself, then by all means do so. I don't necessarily understand comments like these, if the user doesn't like it, no one is forcing them to buy it, especially if there are other solutions as you've stated.
This is a good idea, prevents driver abuse. Similar to the rushed undercooked pizza problem of competing pizza-at-speed-of-light claims in dense traffic where drivers get blamed/untipped etc, even penalised for shit outside of their control loop.
>From Iron Man to The Minority Report, our Sci-Fi has been promising us for decades a future of always-on spatial computing and omnipresent screens. This is the Future we deserve.

Assuming that this is serious and not parody, then you have a very different vision of a utopian future than I do.
The standalone tethered headset is $2k — that makes it a significantly higher price than other options, especially given the risk involved.

It has amazing specs, but $2k for a tethered headset is way too high. It needs to be below $1000 for the tethered, bring your own compute option.
Is there anything wrong with going back to full time development?

Yes. Age discrimination is pretty common for tech jobs of all types.

Ask if anyone over the age of 35 has ever tried to get a coding job. Particularly if they have a life --- wife, kids, mortgage, etc.. A lot of companies (particularly startups) will instinctively run away from this.

Or better yet, just look for stats on the percentage of coders over/under the age of 35. They are kinda hard to come by but the stats I've seen suggest that more than 90% of developers are 35 or younger.

Just look at those you work with to see if this isn't true.

Where do all the older developers go? Employers want you to believe they all move into management --- but this is absurd. Again, just look at your workplace to judge if this makes sense.

Bottom line --- it depends on what you want/expect from your career once you hit middle age.
AFAIK Hungary is trying something like that, I am not sure about the specifics but I think that for every child you have the government lowers your income tax and after your third child you don't pay any income tax. There are some other measures too, all of them were implemented relatively recently, let's say 2015 although I am not sure.

As for the results, I guess it's still early to tell: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.TFRT.IN?location...
>Employees would have a right to ask their employer for sex-disaggregated information on the average pay of other workers doing the same work or work of equal value.

This is literally impossible in anything other than rote manual labour. Even then, I'm not convinced this is possible.

Well people say the Index is expensive at $1K (full kit) this thing is 2-5x that. Will be interesting.

Also this scene of him being outside typing while using VR ha. It'll be interesting, the shot using it in a coffee shop too hmm.

The keyboard is Durgod Fusion btw (non-split one).
Yes that's fair enough, it's a bigger issue than just a pay gap. That's a symptom.
That's not asking for "no snark", but you are also wrong on there being snark previously.
Oh I agree. BUT! Some good news, once you purchase bitcoin on it - then move it to XMR on it - you are off the grid.
No; Captain Kirk's bound by it, and he's from Iowa. (He only works in outer space.)
You must have skipped the parts of the "protest" that stretched way down streets like Kent St. and Metcalfe St. No fancy condos down there. Just cheaper apartments. That's where the problems were happening. If it had just been limited to the stretch of Wellington in front of Parliament, it wouldn't have been a big deal.

But streets like Kent, Metcalfe, and O'Connor (and the cross streets between them) where the noise and diesel exhaust were messing up people's lives. I'm sorry, but honking your air horn for 10 minutes in a residential neighbourhood is a criminal offense. And it's not like you're sticking it to the elite, here. Somerset Ward is one of the lowest-income wards in the city. Only Vanier is lower, and not by much.

Your dismissal of this as only affecting a few high-priced condos and side streets is shocking. The affected area was nowhere near 90% government buildings. For example, this section of Kent was full of protest vehicles making noise at all hours:

https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.4168826,-75.7005369,3a,75y,11...

Do those look like high-priced condos to you? Ditto for this section of Metcalfe:

https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.4180527,-75.6932468,3a,75y,56...

I know it's easy to dismiss the people living downtown when you live out in Barrhaven or Kanata, but I'm saddened by your callous disregard for your fellow citizens living in a low-income part of the city. Just because you don't notice them, it doesn't mean they aren't there.

I don't mean for any of this to be pejorative; it just sounds like you're someone living in a suburban part of the city who went to the protest, walked around the party zone, and assumed that stretch of Metcalfe/Rideau represented the entire thing.
I too came to the same realization, and found this publication to be an effective antidote:

It's easy to imagine but also it makes these immensely more dangerous to house and transport. Why fail dangerous when scrambling the timing information is as effective at preventing a nuke from being used?
My point was that a larger and larger proportion of the things we buy we buy over the internet: it is something like 25% of all consumer purchasing now. Those transactions are cashless.

Some types of goods you can only buy over the internet, like software, and this trend will only continue.

I think MoneyGram/Western Union are a great counterpoint, but while anonymous, I consider that more similar to cashless than cash: you have to input cash into a machine and… transmit it over the internet.

I also agree it is not a binary thing.
Yes, but the parent's point (and my concern as well) is that "market crash" does not necessarily mean widespread fallout (e.g. Black Monday in '87); that only happens when the losers are tightly coupled to other critical parts of the economy, which isn't necessarily the case here: GS/JP Morgan won't have to default on loans to critical counterparties in a crypto crash, for example.

Any time a big group loses wealth all at once, there's some consequence, but that's not the same as "systemic risk" where it causes catastrophe in areas not directly related.
Mind if I ask what software stack is being used here?
worked for me. Cool website!
During the crash in 2017 mining decreased drastically, I want to say by like 70%? There were slow blocks for a while then difficulty adjusted.
The two key things I wish to briefly re-iterate:

1) after age 65, the HSA no longer has any restrictions (penalties) related to medical expenses, it works just like a Trad. IRA except that if you do reimburse for medical expenses, the distributions are tax-free.

2) Each conversion from Trad. IRA to Roth IRA starts a five-year timer on that conversion, after which the amount converted can be withdrawn tax and penalty free, just like Roth contributions. So for example a 40-year old who leaves a job and rolls over a 401k balance to an IRA, can then choose to pay tax now (via Roth conversion) and then take out some or all the money penalty free at age 45, which is significantly younger than age 59.5 (for IRA) or 55-and-separated-from-service (for 401k).
>> What is also missing in the report is that TSMC 3nm also performs better.

Was recently reading some non-authoritative news that TSMC is also having yield issues on their 3nm. From the sound of it probably not as bad as Samsung. Taken together this doesn't look good for Intel's optimism toward catching up in just a few years.
ReiserFS does have its benefits in highly specific use-cases.

I have a filesystem with an absurd number of tiny files in it. I host a statically rendered wikipedia mirror. Tens of millions of gzipped html-files with a filesize in the range 1-5 Kb.

ReiserFS is the only filesystem I know that deals even the slightest bit gracefully with this thanks to tail-packing.
