I love how well you made that argument, although I am as disillusioned as your other respondent.

Another problem is that countries are also in a global economic competition.

The legislative frameworks still do not keep the costs of destroying the planet from being so low that doing so is an economic imperative.
Was going to say it looks okay but seeing a side-by-side comparison to the previous version cannot but think it's a downgrade.
That is the goal. Markets do not function well without price transparency. If a society wants to best allocate resources according to supply and demand, then prices must be visible to market participants in order to discern the movements of supply and demand curves.

I can give you an example from a cousin in my family. Pharmacists in the US did very, very well from 1980s to 2000s. That started changing rapidly starting in 2010 or so. The cousin spent $200k+ in the mid 2010s to obtain the necessary certifications to become a pharmacist, only to find out that pay and quality of life at work was decreasing for years due to an oversupply of pharmacists.

However, the US government's BLS website had pharmacists listed as a very promising career until 2021, with positive growth. Even though wages had been declining since 2010, easily searchable via sdnforum and reddit pharmacy forums.

So now, said cousin is depressed with their life's outlook. They likely will not have children, or purchase a home as they are still busy paying off very hefty loans. This may have been prevented if 20 year olds had access to accurate price movements for the type of labor they are investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in selling.

It is not only bad for the individual making the bad investment, it is bad for the country in the long run to misallocate such precious resources, all because price movements are too opaque.
It filters out people who wouldn't take it to begin with. I know I wouldn't continue with the process at a place that puts stock in one.

What does "MIXING" mean in this context?
I have yet to see engineers that are even close to being accurate with estimates because they are in essence inventing something new with a bunch of unknowns. Put another way, there are two types of engineers. Those who are bad at estimating who readily admit to it and those who lie about their skills at estimation.

Using vanilla GDB is painful. As a bit of a shameless plug I recommend you check out GEF[1]. It's a large python script that extends GDB to make it a lot better to use. Notably it shows a lot of the state automatically every time the inferior stops. It's oriented around reversing and exploit development, but it definitely doesn't have to be used that way.

Meanwhile, MLRS systems are leveling entire neighborhoods in eastern Ukraine. Hospitals are collapsing as rockets bombard their foundations, cluster munitions deployed and thermobaric warheads causing the 2nd largest explosions known to man (only 2nd largest compared to nukes).

Yes. We, as a society, have decided (rather quickly too) to use our financial resources to do what we can to fight back against these war crimes. That's not a bad thing at all.

The only other thing that may serve as a deterrence is a proper and full war. If you've got other ideas for a deterance, now is the time to issue suggestions.

Complaining that we've found a non-war way to deter Russia and their actions is callous, when compared to the millions of lives who suddenly had their lives upended last week.

------

> Sorry, but anyone who doesn't find this worrisome is ... naive, for lack of a more charitable term.

Of course its worrisome that we have to deploy offensive tools (albeit financial tools rather than actual bombs). But what other choice do we have? Are you saying that Russia shouldn't have to pay for what they did? Are you saying that we should just forget about Ukraine's pains? Etc. etc.

Money is a social construct. That's a good thing, for times like this. No, we don't want to live in these times and wish that things were more peaceful. But if someone hits you or someone else... you have to respond and deter them from striking yet again. Basic diplomacy.
Lol @ me who received a rejection letter 2 weeks ago, and haven't been able to pull myself up again. I know it's on me and my mental health, but I just wish there was a silver bullet that I could get hit with that can stop me from taking rejections so hard.
It looked okay until I scrolled down to the browser compatibility table and had to tilt my head to read the vertical text
That's a valid suggestion, but unfortunately wouldn't hide the substance. I think I have separate revulsion to insect contact and insect weight/mass. I'd prefer certain bugs to not touch me (e.g. ladybugs are fine), but I _really_ would prefer them to feel weightless. Something about a bug's weight being perceptible is intensely revolting to me, as if they're meant to be weightless wisps

Explicitly raising taxes would be very unpopular, but there were plenty of things I listed that would get minimal pushback from the public at large.

No one cares if UPS delivery trucks are electric. Very few people are policy wonks and will pay attention to changes in FHA bureaucracy.

Voters have very limited bandwidth and attention. Most of what the federal government does, it does on its own initiative, with opposition from select special interests.
The products don't understand what they're selling (or are desperate for Blackrock money). They continue to alienate fans by continually injecting ESG propaganda into the product, when most fans I know use it as an escape from all that inane bullshit.

I predict that this trend towards requiring companies to include information in job postings that leaves them in a legal grey area (what if I end up hiring someone and paying above the range? can I be sued for discrimination by a unrepresented minority if the unrepesented minority gets an offer on the low end? what if I don't find anyone that is near the top of the range? can I be sued for that too? what if my current staff isn't in the salary range?) is just going to result in less public job postings and more use of recruiters and good-old-boy networks. The fact is, as a company, you can be sued for anything at any time by any one and all these requirements do is add new lines of attack for no benefit.
I feel like you're making it more difficult than it has to be.

If your company is hiring a software engineer, but doesn't know:

A) what salary you can afford
B) what skills level you need (SE I, SE II, SE III)

I would be worried about your company. If you feel you could pay up to $300,000 for someone with the right qualifications the problem is easily solved:

> Software Engineer - Salary range: $100,000 - $300,000 dependent upon skills and work experience.

BOOM! Super simple!

If for some reason you have a posting for a position with the salary range moving between $80k - $500k, I would think you don't know what it is you're looking for in a candidate or what type of position you're trying to fill. That would really lead me to question the leadership of a company and wonder about the longevity of it as well.

Yep, that’s the takeaway that I hope non-sports-fans will have from this thread. The salary caps in the NFL/NBA promote parity extremely well while maintaining the same pay level for the vast majority of players. I’m told European soccer and MLB suffer greatly from big-market teams heavily hoarding the success.

LNG being much more expensive is pretty obvious - transportation costs are something like 90% of the final price. Pipelines are much more effective means of transportation for such things - build once, use for decades, at almost 0 marginal cost.

Reducing gas usage is entirely different topic, it would require to either: invest heavily in nuclear or: reopening of coal-powered plants.
It all comes down to wasting stars on bad teams. That's the underlying problem.

Maybe there should be some negative/positive weight on draft picks based on how "moribund" a franchise is over time. Calculate a running average of the pick quality and project a statistical estimate of how good your team should be. If it sucks over a long time (I'm talking a rolling 10 year average and as a somewhat fan of the Detroit Lions... yeah) then the team shouldn't get the cream of the crop, they should lose 5-10 positions in the first round.

And that's the real rub: at some point bad franchises aren't bad luck, bad players, bad coaches, or even bad GMs. They are failures because of ownership which is far more entrenched.

Relegation in soccer is really the only mechanism for this.

I also think there should be an exclusive "national signing day" for pro football where each team gets 1 player a year they can sign regardless of their draft position in the first round (assuming they can get a player wants to sign with them) and they forgo their first round pick. That would counteract tanking in the NFL because the really good players will avoid the crap teams. Of course there is a pay scale in the first round so they would take less money...

Baseball has strange levels of collusion among the owners, I think from generations of labor strife, which the NFL has avoided for some reason.

College athletics are kind of a multi-tier league like the article. And I'm not talking D-I/II/III. There are the Power5, and then even within the Power5, there are established powerhouses. Preferential placement, games that change in importance and estimation in the "rankings".

Of course college doesn't have the draft, which this entire proposal revolves around: preventing tanking for the draft. College has forced 4-6 year turnover that prevents decade-plus star careers from overtilting the advantage and seems to be a sufficient "chaos monkey"... although the 4 team CFP in football seems to have concentrated power in only a couple schools.

Is this "good"? Eh. It does make name brands. It makes for lazy reporters in an otherwise cacophonous landscape of a 100-odd schools who only follow five or ten schools.

I was trying to say that a junior developer may not have a realistic idea of how much experience they actually have. They don't know what they don't know.
Thank you for all of these tips!

I've lately been feeling bad, and thinking I must look like an ungrateful asshat, about closing lower quality PRs (IMHO) with valid bugfixes but which introduces some new, possibly subtle, bug instead. Or having to close abandoned PRs because the submitter gave up before that last polishing to match the standard of my own repo. :(

Now I feel better knowing that I can do that final polish myself, while keeping the submitters original contrib!
Looks like vaporware, I don't even see that you can download it.
This will proceed -- until the daily (hourly?) re-valuation of fiat currencies makes it impossible to retain a mental model of their "worth".

Then, everything will be valued in terms of some more stable and widely available value reference.

Will this be a cryptocurrency? Probably not, unless some viable non-Fiat "stablecoin" become popular, or ETH and BTC reach a more stable plateau of valuation. More likely, a widely available relatively stable coinage like Silver would be used.
Verdana (which is what HN uses at least for me) is a much wider font, though.

The website uses Fira Sans, which is very condensed (as much as you can without having to stretch the characters, in fact).

You can see that the code snippets on the website "look" much larger even though they're also 12px, since they are set in Courier New.
Sweden and Finland have dithered for decades, not applied for NATO membership because "it might provoke Russia". Maybe now they'll finally learn that the biggest danger with a NATO membership is not having it: So far, AFAIK, exactly none of the countries attacked and invaded by Russia have been NATO members.
It depends on the market. Small markets have been hurting, but teams like the dodgers have been making millions hand over fist the last 10 years, revenue only being down really because of expected covid cancellations.
Is there a platform similar to RPi but with a RISC-V cpu? (I don't care about gpu, so headless one, but with rj45 and few USB3 ports would be great).
> lol, were you around when this was going on? People were absolutely losing their shit about bcash. This post really takes me back to that honestly.

I was, and I recall that the vast majority of trade volume was not constituted in USDT also. Both those things are no longer true, most trade now is USDT, and near enough to nobody has the faintest idea what actually happened back then.

> We are not going to agree on that point.

It's not a point of "agree or not agree". It's a point of fact. If you won't acknowledge the fact that a currency needs more than seven transactions per second across the globe in order to actually be used as a global currency, or that the lightning whitepaper itself says very clearly that it was designed to resemble the banking settlement network, that's just your ignorance, not something to be argued about.

> Consensus disagreed with you here

There wasn't any consensus, there was just centralised exchanges tagging the output of the core node software as BTC and that's all there was to it, I can dig up the bitfinex announcement of exactly that if you want to dispute the point, but once again, it's a simple fact.

> so I'm not sure what exactly you want to happen.

I'm completely out of that fight so I don't want anything to happen of course aside from the entire thing to fail miserably and be viewed as a cautionary tale. I don't think that will actually happen though, because the world is simply too full of ignorant and stupid people who desperately want to believe the lie they've been sold and moon lambo doing it.

> Who is "they"? If you mean tiny group of developers I disagree

Yes I mean the tiny group of core developers who actually already did this back in 2017, so once again, this is just a point of fact and there's nothing to dispute, and to the extent you try, you're simply outright wrong.
> I would have expected at least some simple domain-specific compression.

Why? The site is static, so it's cached and browsers get a 304 when they come back. For new players the server compresses the whole thing in flight, not just the word list.

Doing some fancy domain-specific compression on the word list would have added unnecessary complexity (read: places for bugs to creep in) and taken time/effort away from more important things.

Russia ETFs continue plunge as the nation’s stock market remains closed
If you think it's impossible to overthrow the Russian government, then you should leave, and you will not be shot by border guards for illegally trying to leave Russia, that's completely wrong.

It sounds like you're comfortable where you are, and need to justify it to yourself that your country is using your consent to commit atrocities that you're ultimately okay with as long as you remain comfortable.

That's cowardice.
