In sufficiently hard economic times, everything is on sale because no one has any idea what will still be around tomorrow and what is going to drop to zero.

Dont be discouraged, just realize the two of you are optimizing for different things.
This is definitely true, but there are limits.
I think you dismissed the portrait mode thing, which I think is by far the biggest use. Two other things I love -- "measure". It's very accurate. Also, there are several apps that allow you to scan an area and then send that to people. I've used it to show people an area (my office, a cool brewery I went to, etc). "3d scanner app" is one that I've used. Interestingly, I also used it to scan a piece of furniture I liked, which let me get precise measurements at a later date.

Edit: I forgot one super cool use of measure. Let's say you have a basement with an open ceiling. You can use the measure app to, say, measure a pipe. Then, when you walk upstairs, you can still see the pipe in 3D. So you can then understand just exactly under the floor where the pipe is. Very useful for things like pipes and electric wires.

Pray tell, where is the rule of the law not being respected? Call out specific examples if this is where your problem with this lies.

But need I remind you, we are at war, with an enemy committing war crimes every day and absolutely not respecting any "rule of the law". When you're up against fair adversaries, it's right to call for a fair fight. When you're up against somebody who's getting dangerously close to getting us into a nuclear war, it's ok to take some damn shortcuts.

Fat good the "long term consequences" of not having followed proper procedures will do us if half of Europe is irradiated. As we say in France, "there are largers cats to whip". I don't care, I live in Brussels, well within the blast zone.
"It's different when we do it"?

Why don't you agree? Americans occupied a sovereign country, started a war there... why no sanctions against american oligarchs? And if not, why sanctions now against the russians?
I'm not sure how I feel about the term API being used unqualified to refer exclusively to SaaS remote APIs. API design is really important for any kind of library or module.
Because I use raindrop.io. Also, the fact that pocket was integrated into Firefox (with recommendations on the homepage) makes it feel like bloat.

>>This very hot market is only the case for tech and the rest of the business struggles to understand why tech should be any exception at annual budgeting.

That is very much a regional thing, as most employment is. In my area most companies are having trouble filling less skilled position than they are filling skilled positions like IT. Granted filling skilled positions here has always been hard as there is not a huge talent pool in the first place, but I would not classify the market as any "hotter" or "colder" than a few years ago for tech workers.

However for production line workers, warehouse, and other non-skilled trades it is very hot.

As more and more companies start to Rescind their WFH rules I figure things are about to return to normal in that regard as well

Every company/startup will be different in some way, so what MVP means for them -- and the reason they go that route -- will be unique.

At least in some cases, MVP is the minimal product you made which illustrates your solution, your value proposition. You use that to get big investment to build "the real one".

Unfortunately, some (many?) companies want to take that MVP and live with it indefinitely, organically (sloppily) growing it as they go.

MVP can be seen as that thing you do which gives you the opportunity to exist but which gradually drags you to the bottom of the sea with technical debt.

Regardless of what gamedev SDKs with billions of dollars behind them do or do not do, initial compile time is simply not a major bottleneck for developer productivity for Veloren. What is a bottleneck is how long it takes from making a change to seeing it in-game after the initial compile. On that front, C++ and Rust are on pretty similar footing (at least when incremental compilation is working :P) and it mostly comes down to how much the project is prioritizing compile times.
Thanks! Wanting to see what mine would look like. :)
You need to give your manager the ammunition.

A manager going to HR with "cost of living increase please" vs "I have a valued member of my team who is dropping hints theyre unhappy about pay" are very different things.

You're presuming all employees are like yourself. Not everybody is motivated by money. I have team members who are well paid, know it, and turn down large increases elsewhere due to the projects they have excite them, etc.
probably less of a vector because other benefits like healthcare are provided and financial compensation is a little less important?

Scientific trust mediates associations between conservatism and Covid responses
With Ansible, Mike already had a successful prototype (func) which had been developed and used by the Fedora infrastructure team for a while. He then left Red Hat and worked on Ansible. So he did in fact already know what the customer wanted! However that's an unusual case for a start-up. https://opensource.com/article/21/2/ansible-origin-story

Hi, I live in Belgium, a country that like many others has a dark past of colonialism (who is currently trying to make amends for it).

We're pointing fingers. Switzerland is pointing fingers. I'm OK with the USA's support in the fingerpointing, so please let us have their fucking support. Every Ukrainian I know is OK with the USA's support, and it's been by far some of the most effective in this war, so please let them have their fucking support.

You don't get to pick and choose your own allies, LET ALONE SOMEONE ELSE'S.
It's different when it's different.

Full scale invasion with intent to annex with nearly complete global opposition is different from America going around the world to kill people at their whim, very often with support and acceptance of other nations and occasionally with support of large groups of people in countries America messes up.

Putin invaded two countries and parts of Ukraine already in a predictible pattern. And next ones in line are NATO countries. I guess enough's enough to take action.

Serbs in Yougoslavia tried to do racial cleansing. Ukrainians never had such ideas.

By drawing such overstretched parallels you are no different than Putin supporting Russian now, nazi German after the WWII or Serb after they were stopped.

At my organization we call it "requirements mining" -- because getting good requirements from which you can build useful software is f*cking hard work.
I'm pleased to see this being espoused. One thing I always tell junior people is ""don't be tempted to think of make(1) as out-of-date [1], and to view packages available via npm etc as better replacements, as many tasks fit the model of make(1), if not the title "a program for directing recompilation" "" I am often viewed with suspicion until I show them a (much more compact) replacement for their custom python/js program expressed as a makefile without any of the process management requiring debugging. :-)

An alternative approach for the "batches of files to process" situation is to generate the commands and feed them to GNU parallel for execution.

The title was way too long. Full title is: Trust in scientific information mediates associations between conservatism and coronavirus responses in the U.S., but few other nations. The last sentence in the abstract alone was a interesting point to read more into their paper:

"These associations suggest not only that relationships between conservatism and compliance are not universal, but localized to particular countries where conservatism is more strongly related to trust in scientific information about the coronavirus pandemic."
It’s not so much about this specific typo - which is only due to accidentally swapping the numbers - it is about complaining about minor typos in general.
I like where you're coming from, but .NET also supports an ecosystem of commercial developers who sell commercial closed source libraries, as well as open source.

I also had some issues with Nuget, but fair to say that's been the case with pretty much every package manager I've used.

Re trustable build process, some of the .NET team has been blogging about reproducible builds in the last year.

No, that will be viewed as an ultimatum not negotiation.

If I am at the point where I am interviewing for a new position I am gone. There is no counter offer, no proposal to match, nothing like that. If they try to match I view that as an insult because before even looking for a new position I would have came to my boss several times expression displeasure with the current level of compensation, if they only respect me enough to pay me what I am worth after I threaten to leave then it is not a place I want to work at anyway
In Germany, we use the same word „Steuern“ for both taxes and steering. The purpose of taxes in many cases is to change (steer) behavior, besides generating state income. Same can apply for customs, which are often intended more to protect local products against imports, and less to create state income

>Why blame third parties for your own consensual life choices?

Because certain people (homeless, mentally ill, dealing with substance abuse) will agree to degrading treatment that no regular person would accept. Taking advantage of someone in these sorts of situations is predatory.
True. At 100mg per day (from one of the studies) it would be about $250 per year (at spice prices, no idea what pharma will mark it up as).
How they live inside of a structure is far into implementation-defined land. No ABI (afaik) says where bits live if they do not fill an octet. In practice, the compilers agree with themselves over time, but that is "code as spec" which is everyone's favorite thing for interop.

"we are at war"

Erm, no we are not. Russia is at war with the ukraine, but not with the EU, nor the USA. So maybe do not escalate?

"where is the rule of the law not being respected"

Where is it? It is not the case btw. that there is a title called "oligarchs". What all of this means in its current shape, is targeting simply rich russian people. Now sure, chances are quite high, that they got to their wealth through crime, but law does not usually operate on cliches.

"with an enemy committing war crimes every day"

And as far as I can tell, way more horrible are being done in Yemen for example since 2014 with no one giving a shit about it.
I was talking about complex configurations with repetitive, not extremely basic named parameters. Think about a loadbalancer or an API Gateway that is going to loop through and generate several lambdas and their security groups.

I'll post an example in a bit of what I mean, but using a builder lets me use functions to break down the template into readable pieces.

And I'm not saying that it is impossible, I'm talking about readability.
I'm guessing GP was thinking of non-US residents when making their claim (although I'm very skeptical of the implication that non-US-based citydwellers make up the majority of HN).
OK, but you're moving the goalposts here. You're not just talking about a new search rank algorithm any more, you're talking about building a new social-web ecosystem to enforce the kind of voting rules needed to make that algorithm work, and somehow getting mass adoption of that new ecosystem.

for (const huser of document.querySelectorAll(".hnuser")) {
const s = huser.innerText;
const p = 2;
const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
const context = canvas.getContext("2d");

canvas.width = p * 7;
canvas.height = p * 7;

huser.parentElement.prepend(canvas);

{
const xorshift32 = (n) => {
n ^= n << 13;
n ^= n >>> 17;
n ^= n << 5;
return n;
};

const seedSteps = 28;

let seed = 1;
for (let i = seedSteps + s.length; i >= seedSteps; i--) {
seed = xorshift32(seed);
seed += s.charCodeAt(i - seedSteps);
}

context.fillStyle =
"#" + ((seed >> 8) & 0xffffff).toString(16).padStart(0, 6);

for (let i = seedSteps - 1; i > 0; i--) {
// continue the seed
seed = xorshift32(seed);

const X = i & 3;
const Y = i >> 2;

if (seed >>> (seedSteps + 1) > (X * X) / 3 + Y / 2) {
context.fillRect(p * 3 + p * X, p * Y, p, p);
context.fillRect(p * 3 - p * X, p * Y, p, p);

This is a completely different situation than what I and tons of other EU devs working with US companies are. We're not in siloed team with only communication happening between layers of managers highly above people doing actual work.

We're just embedded into normal US teams and communicate directly with American engineers, managers etc. Everyone works remote. Only difference is that I work 11-19 and turn off Slack at 21.

Last year I tried to launch something like a dozen small companies based on an "MVP" or 80/20 approach.

Paper money : if you can, invest money in currency basket.

Digital : keep some coins secure.

Expenses: Reduce non essential expenses.

Health: Keep yourself and your family healthy by doing daily workout or yoga.

Silks: learn new skills. Make yourself valuable.

Survival mode : Always on it. Learn to analysis situation and act.

A lot of people don't (and in my opinion, shouldn't) conflate such a primal activity as "sacred". Is it really a good idea to put sex up on a pedestal?

There is a free service called Tinderizer[1], which sends web page to kindle using a bookmarklet. It works by opening the web page in a browser, apply readability javascript code, convert to PDF and emails to your kindle email address. All of this done in backend in a very few seconds. It will automatically appear in your kindle shortly after that. It won't work properly for subscription sites as it takes snapshot of the non logged in user.

I don't experience this "hot market". TC has barely increased for the 0-5 YoE crowd, employers still trying to drag people to the office, job offers are still massive wish lists with very little information. HR and hiring practices are still progressively adopting more American practices without the benefits they bring for the employees (more compensation, practices which benefit the employee directly, etc.)

Meanwhile CoL is increasing ever more (gas + housing), doubly so in the cities these employers eagerly move to trying to poach the local happy-go-lucky graduate with pizza fridays and a starting comp so low it makes you wonder if they enjoy living like a student for another 5 years.
So who controls the keys?
Between the price of gas and the negative effect driving has on the climate, it seems immoral to force people who can work remote to commute to an office.

I haven’t had Covid (I haven’t had even the smallest cold in 2 years) and am vaccinated, but even unvaccinated people can develop long Covid. Forcing people who can work remote into the office where their chances of getting seriously sick go way up seems immoral.

My mental health has greatly improved since I started working from home exclusively. Forcing people to work in the office, at the detriment of their mental health, seems immoral. For those whose mental health is improved by working in an office, they should have that choice. Though, if they end up being the only one in the office, that is no justification for forcing everyone else to commute to the disease incubator.

To be fair, vegetarianism isn't unhealthy (or necessarily healthy--you could still eat Oreos all day), but leaping into a rapid dietary change out of fear might be. Vegetarianism works in India because there's an established tradition of cooking varied foods that meet nutritional needs and are tasty. Stereotypical American vegetarianism is 1/3 rabbit-food, 1/3 gooey cheesy pasta, and 1/3 synthetic meat-substitutes.
Winforms supports Visual component inheritance, though not as nicely as Delphi used to around V3-5 which I used.

I also loved Delphi's WebBroker technology, their visual web components were awesome and that tech was so far ahead of it's time I still pine for it. Was writing compiled ISAPI web performance, with fast development, huge amount of high quality libraries, and hot reload! In the year 2000! The only tradeoff was manual memory management, and I guess lack of generics and LINQ.
