On the one hand, this seems to prioritize...

• a dependency on a central exchange whose failure, or compromise, harms users; &

• vigorous enforcement of taxes – & potentially other onerous regulatory limitations

That may make it less of interest to many early adopters of cryptocurrencies.

On the other hand, there's technologically lots of potential for proving compliance with tax & regulatory regimes in a strong, minimal, privay-preserving way – helping refactor cooperation with legitimate governance in ways that don't create extra, incidental vulnerabilities to other privacy or extra-legal coercive abuses. This could help advance those practices & highlight future design choices.

Whether intentional or not, there's a hint of the word 'Thaler' in the name – originally derived from a place name ('Joachimstal' in modern Czechia) near historically-iimportant silver mining, and also a precursor of the modern English word 'dollar'.

I’m a full stack developer and designer with a product design focus. I have spent the last 8 years running an e-commerce company (posterhate.com, sole developer and main designer), now looking for a change. I love building new things, particularly interested in designing/developing collaboration tools with toolkits such as TipTap and Yjs, but open to any interesting projects. Prior to focusing on web development I was a Product Design Engineer working mostly on Medical/Biotech instrumentation development. I would also be interested in any projects crossing both physical/digital product design.
This posts comments is full of either people that don't have a clue or bots serving some agenda; a good solid 95%+ here is just noise.

Why even bother reading hacker news when its like this, or even commenting with any real substance.

Read some history (from multiple sources), educate yourselves, and stop feeding the noise. If you do that, you'll learn some useful things like how detente works, geopolitics, why the cuban missile crisis was such a big deal, etc. Those lessons directly inform events today.
Other countries doing unreasonable things does not make Russia's demands "reasonable".
The compile time issues for C++ are entirely because of the creaky header mechanism that doesn't permit efficient parsing. Generics have worked fine in Ada since its inception. Any modern language can adopt the same process of tracking a formal abstract interface that is parsed once and expanded into concrete code as necessary.

What do you class as early? For me anything earlier than 6.30pm is fine for helping me sleep, but keep portions sensible and be strict once you finish eating.
Yeah, after reading a guide on how places are added to google[1], I'm suspicious. Based on the screenshots there, it looks like it doesn't show up immediately. The guide says "You should receive an email regarding whether or not your submission was accepted within two weeks". Given that the delay could be hours to weeks, why would you bother with public POIs? Why not use my maps[2], which is private and shows up instantly?

This is not always the case.

Military grade means things like “works for outside air temperatures between -40 and 120 F” and “will still work being vibrated to hell for decades”.

On the other hand modern tech is like “my cat knocked my Apple Watch on the floor and shattered the screen” and things are generally extremely fragile.

They’re also old. You want things that work for decades, not UIs that change every few months.
This summary concisely captures the key thing about generics that has kept them out of Go for so long: they weren't created in a vacuum. Go's developers had the flaws in C++ and Java's approaches to draw on in their attempt to find a better approach. Many people calling for generics to have been implemented sooner were fine with those flaws in the other languages, but the Go team wanted to do better than that.
That isn't even a good attempt at a straw-man. Let's be honest, what qualifies as "my gain" in your argument here is "less death." So yeah, I'm willing to do what it takes to reduce death.

You're arguing that we should do nothing and let Putin go on his rampage unopposed, as if that will result in less death. To say that I disagree with you would be pretty redundant at this point, and you're not making good faith arguments, so I'm out.
This is super cool. Thank you.

Dealerships typically get points on the loan - the approving bank will give an approval for x amount, not to exceed y after taxes/fees/warranties. The amount paid to the dealer will vary, but typically = y * points on the loan
Fine, you start. What is your first idea for discussion?
That persons contract is very non-standard and likely completely unenforceable. Contractors are generally far less susceptible to coercion than permanent employees are. Employees believe they have something to lose (their mostly imaginary “job security”). Contractors know their employment is temporary and they routinely need to look for new work without much notice.

Features, Schedule, Cost

Well, schedule and cost at least have straightforward measurements.

The issue then is features. Or is that it?

The "pick two" model really is just the business view. Invariably you will also have:

- adherence to process (ideally process would be an overall enhancement to productivity, but it usually becomes a net-negative)

- maintenance costs (patching, libraries, language versions, database versions)

- infrastructure churn and upkeep

- random org shit: meetings, more meetings, training, certifications, HR, ticket walls, etc

- documentation. Is that important?

- ... are the requirements known? settled? at least ballparked?

As I see here, invariably measuring developer productivity is of course blaming the victim: WHY AREN'T YOU MORE PRODUCTIVE, and of course shrugging away the nigh-unlimited ways an org can hamstring or frustrate a developer.

Sorry, what is 'little green men' in this reference?
> If the market value doubles overnight, a rational actor should re-evaluate whether it is still the best course to continue to live in it, rather than sell it.

If the rational actor's home has doubled in value, does the actor live in an exceptional home, or have all homes similarly doubled in value?

Does a rational actor factor in where they intend to live in their calculation? How does that weight against the dollar value of the house they own?
Houses make good collateral. You can’t pick up a house and move it to hide it from the repo man.
To be clear, are you saying the 65km convoy is going to fail to take Kyiv?

I just don't understand how that could happen unless they literally run out of fuel on the way, or if some serious airforce intervenes.
Is this better or more featureful than just gdb --tui ?
Rust also has (relatively) bad compile times due to generics. Not as bad as C++, but you can notice it's significantly worse than Go.

Hey thank you! Yes, you're right. And that'd be what I hoped for. Being able to detect certain spikes/drops so I can start investing as soon as they happen.

But setting those limits manually seems like an option. This should be possible using chartbrew, correct? I didn't find anything anything in the documentation, but I will look into it more deeply tomorrow.

Thank you so much for your help
I find that this quote from the SICP video lectures sums it up well for me:

And that is that computer science, in some sense, isn't real. You see, when an engineer is designing a physical system, that's made out of real parts. The engineers who worry about that have to address problems of tolerance and approximation and noise in the system. So for example, as an electrical engineer, I can go off and easily build a one-stage amplifier or a two-stage amplifier, and I can imagine cascading a lot of them to build a million-stage amplifier. But it's ridiculous to build such a thing, because long before the millionth stage, the thermal noise in those components way at the beginning is going to get amplified and make the whole thing meaningless.

Computer science deals with idealized components. We know as much as we want about these little program and data pieces that we're fitting things together. We don't have to worry about tolerance. And that means that, in building a large program, there's not all that much difference between what I can build and what I can imagine, because the parts are these abstract entities that I know as much as I want.

I know about them as precisely as I'd like. So as opposed to other kinds of engineering, where the constraints on what you can build are the constraints of physical systems, the constraints of physics and noise and approximation, the constraints imposed in building large software systems are the limitations of our own minds.

Sequoia Capital | SRE/DevOps/Application Ops | Menlo Park, CA / Remote | Full-time | https://www.sequoiacap.com

We're looking for someone to come and help us level up our cloud infrastructure and application operations for our internal technology. You will need some experience using AWS, Terraform, k8s, and their associated technologies to operationalize web applications and setup CI/CD pipelines to be successful, but you won't need the stamina of a marathon runner to be on call 24/7 working 80 hour weeks because that's not how we roll here.

If you want to contribute to high impact projects to help us operationalize new things and improve our current setup while working in a relatively low stress environment, email me a resume at jmcanally@sequoiacap.com.

(Also, the pay is great and the people are truly gems, but we can talk more about that after you send me your resume)

P.S. - We'd love if you could come into our office in Menlo Park, CA at least part of the week, but we'll definitely support remote work as well as long as it's in the U.S. in a state we're able to hire in.
Similar situation here. I've been in a staff meeting where the principle openly told the managers that they needed to place females into specific roles.
FWIW,

1. This is no longer true in rsync-3.0.0 (Mar 2008) and later. It does build the list of course, but transfer begins after establishing just a few directories of content. This "incremental" mode is not available if you specify an option that requires the full list to begin, documented under the "--recursive" option.

2. Checksums are not computed by default. If the files match time/size, they will not be transferred or checksummed unless "--checksum" is turned on. All files which are transferred, are compared by checksum when complete but this is not meaningfully expensive since the IO is already done.

Your issues with high-bandwidth, (very) high-latency links make sense. The rsync algo was designed to minimize bytes-sent over the undersea cable to Australia (low-bandwidth, moderate-latency). This still works well for most internet traffic, but not if your latency numbers are way out of balance!
I'm sorry, but comparing what happened in Canada to what happened in the other two is stupid, charitably speaking.

They also had like 12 000 tanks but 50% of them can't even move. Same with warheads.

Oh yeah and they can't deliver them anywhere. Then can deliver only a few. Others are short range or should be dropped from old planes that can't even fly.
If your time were really that valuable, you'd have a secretary read HN for you and send you a synopsis, and you'd never bother commenting. All you're doing is cheating yourself.

> Very exciting, I hope this will help open-source hardware-accelerated image upscaling.

Be aware that anyone who works in projects conceivably related to the source code in question needs to be very careful to never see it. Otherwise it becomes a legal minefield where future code can be accused to have been stolen (even if it very clearly never was).
I get that, but if GGP is not from the US then it is incredibly rude to come into the country with that kind of attitude. And if they are from the US, then it makes them look even worse.
There is no end to the search for a developer productivity metric, but it refuses to be found for reasons that are fairly obvious to technical people, but that doesn't stop people from trying – for decades. So now they've retreated to these vectors called "frameworks" that try to obscure with complexity the fact that they are not in any way able to "measure what matters" – in this case, the ratio of value output to value input – nor are in any way deserving of the term "metric". I contend that such non-measures are of absolutely no value to engineering managers; they're management theater and purely a distraction and a waste of time.

Let's leave aside for a moment that this piece begins with an impressively uninformed and circular definition – "Developer productivity, in general, refers to how productive a developer is during a specific time or based on any criteria." – and focus instead on the question of why does this stuff keep popping into existence; what's behind it?

As a tech exec who's researched and given several talks on this to large audiences of non-technical execs like CEOs and CFOs, I believe the root causes are an understandable and intense desire for "visibility" and exec accountability coupled with a set of false beliefs held by non-technical managers including "anything can be measured if you try hard enough" and "nothing can be managed unless it's measured" and the classic quantitative fallacy of "things that can be measured are more important than things that can't be". Besides, it's only fair that if the VPs of sales and marketing have to stand up and talk about funnel metrics and sales rep productivity (with real metrics like net new bookings divided by fully loaded sales rep cost) that the VP of engineering - an often enormous fraction of a SaaS company's budget – should be similarly held to account for some number, any number, we just need a number, so we can look for "trends" (actually, noise). It also seems to be driven by a push from HR for fairness in promotions and terminations, which is also totally understandable, yet misguided.

I have a wisecrack response to non-technical executives when discussing this which is "how do you measure your own productivity?" that helps them understand the absurdity of what they're trying to do and how common it is that no true measure of productivity exists. People really struggle to understand that some metrics, no matter how great it would be to have them, simply do not exist, and so we have this – measurement theater.

That's why some countries have weird regulations about maps. South Korea does not allow exporting vector maps, so Google Maps rendering is vector based everywhere except in a region surrounding South Korea [1]. China applies a (not so) secret pseudorandom offset to all geographic coordinates in online maps, frequently resulting in mismatches between systems that apply corrections and those that don't. It seems silly during peacetime but when there's an actual war, you can see why people might want that kind of thing.

And militaries all over the globe do use Google Maps extensively, if not by policy then just by soldiers doing their own thing. Wrong borders in Google Maps have nearly led to international incidents when soldiers ended up on the wrong side of a border. And then there are the disputed borders that Google is forced to display differently in different countries. There is no globally accepted map and as a result the map Google shows you changes depending on where you're located.

[1] Actually I am out of date, it looks like the South Korea maps are vector based now. Maybe the law changed. It definitely used to be the case.
