It is actually possible for a U.S. company to employ you directly as an employee (according to ASVG) in Austria without forming a legal entity. They of course have to pay Employer contribution to social insurance and other things (DB zum Familienlastenausgleichsfond etc.), and you as employee have to also pay the employee contribution to social insurance and income taxes. You probably want to hire a tax accountant to handle your monthly payslips etc.

Companies pay for people do to maintenance for profitable system even if those systems doesn't much need maintenance, meaning lots of people in those roles don't do much.

There are gas hobs that make it easy; I like my cooktop with FlameSelect exactly for this, it has 9 discrete positions and exact flame size for each position.
Depends on brand. I have one with 4 distinct controls for each heat source. But when I was changing my stove, this was something I looked for - I've used those that can set only one heat source at the time, and they are infuriating for me too.

As for knobs, I'm willing to bet that there are some induction stoves with knobs.

As a slav I find it amusing how free grain from gov was called by "dole" by Romans where we have concept of "dola" which used to be your patron spirit quietly influencing your life but in modern times its basically something you've got that you've deserved (according to higher force or destiny), be it thing, health, wealth or life experience.

I'm a big Rust fan but I fully expect that C# can beat Rust in some benchmarks and actually in some useful scenarios.

However, claiming outright that .Net outperforms Rust feels like an apple-to-petticoat comparison.
The reason why it's a myth worth dispelling now is that The (legacy) .NET Framework, which used to be ".NET" back in the day, actually was hilariously slow for any kind of web or networking work. It had decent CPU crunching power, but also only on Windows machines.

Comparisons of benchmarks with C# vs. Rust or whatever are unproductive and it's a shame that the article focuses on that. The reality is that you can write C# or F# code today, focus on solving your problem instead of performance, and have it handle a production workload admirably well. That used to not be true circa ~2010. Thankfully it is true now :)
Are there any like that anywhere? I would think part of the problem is that induction settings are usually in discrete steps so a knob, which is what I assume you mean by physical control, may not be any better than a simple +\- control and would stick up from a seamless cooktop. Also, the highest end ones like Thermadors seem to focus on making the entire cooktop usable which kind of breaks the discrete burner area paradigm that knobs would suggest. Closest I’ve seems is a little puck on Samsung cooktops that you can use to adjust the controls but I would hate worrying about losing it.
I like induction but it's hard to find portable induction with a true hob size larger than 6". Any cookware outside the induction disk zone only gets warm, not really hot.

The largest one I could find is the Max Burton 6600 which claims a 9" induction disk but the middle 3 inches of the disk is not energized.

I suppose for a 15 amp plug there's only so much area it can safely heat.

Maybe built-in ones can be bigger?
I suspect we will finally see a return to buttons in a couple years. I'm picturing an iPhone with a side ridge of multiple buttons. Like, little mini haptic-feedback touchpads (like the main pads on macbooks....but smaller)
This is basically my point, though. The things you’ve said (which are basically just what Google pushes) are correct. For their use case, they’ve found some good wins and there’s lots of interesting things under the hood enabling this. That’s cool, but these improvements come at a cost: the ABI (and in some cases, the API) is different. For Google this is OK because they can just ask their clients to adapt. This might be fine for you as well. But it’s definitely not the case for everyone, and ignoring it (at best) or actively harping on the standard for making concessions for the “dumb” reason of stability is not appropriate.
The .NET frameworks (blazor, etc) are too complicated. Peak FizzBuzzEnterpriseEdition there.

> If the only land they have is trees, it does restrict the options quite a bit.

Just to make sure, did you see the edit of my comment above? I checked out the land cover in Finland, it is actually a fairly high percentage trees and I did some math on putting wind in the other places.

Now that I'm writing this I realized a major flaw: not looking at https://globalwindatlas.info earlier. It turns out that Finland looks about average (just eyeballing it, I can't figure out how to use this area energy yield tool, it just gives me a blank image instead of a simple number).
Not quite. You are leaving out the condition "if you are in the business of selling things, and this is a thing you have for sale". If you were a vegetable seller, you would not be required to sell your table or your wagon. If you were a cook buying vegetables, you would not be required to sell the vegetables that you just purchased.

Everyone is embezzling all the time there. It's useful to keep an eye one everyone and then selectively punish them if they do something you don't like it.

> If claims of arrest are correct, this would indicate that Putin is seriously concerned about the FSB’s role in the military campaign

Well Putin is FSB (ex-KGB) so he likely relied on his FSB buddies to set up a number of false flag operations in order to provide a cover for the invasion. Those are have been exposed and failed. Now Putin is looking more "naked" than he planned when invading and ruthlessly bombing civilians.

Some trucks headed to Kiev had riot police gear in them. FSB likely thought people in Kiev would meet them with flowers, salt and bread, and it would be only some rowdy trouble-makers which the riot police would take care of. In other words it was supposed to be a 3 day blitzkrieg followed by police work later. They were wrong.

This doesn't work when I've tried it. How many students or times have you implemented this policy? First, it doesn't make sense when the regrade is most objective (like points were calculated wrong, or the grader didn't see something that the student wrote). And if you say that it doesn't apply for straightforward grading mistakes, then you get emails asking you whether something is a grading mistake or has the chance of lowering a grade.

And I've tried this policy before, and got students who wrote in my course evals something like "the professor intentionally tries to scare students from asking for regrades by threatening to lower their grade even more." And then what about when you are still asked for a regrade (which in my experience was not zero, but maybe about a third or half as much as without this policy). In those cases, you end up doing way way more, so the level of effort actually increases.

It's the incentivized/induced demand problem. Build out a new freeway, suddenly it's full of traffic. Same thing for power. If you make power cheap people find more ways to use it.

This is still probably a good thing, but something to consider.
It's hard to recover from the memories of wasted time, effort, and frustration when the schools when distance-learning only in 2020.

"We will start using Google Classroom for all communication, class materials, lesson videos, live meetings, and grades"

Sure. Good. Come grade time:

"Your child is missing a lot of work. It's all due in a week."

Kid, you have to do x,y,z missing assignments listed on Google Classroom.

"Your child has already completed x."

It was marked missing on Google Classroom.

"Please refer to Infinite Campus to see which assignments are missing."

Ok...I signed up for Infinite Campus, and I don't see anything.

"Did you use the user/pass we automatically created for each parent?"

What? No.

"Sir, we sent out this information weeks ago."

Search...search...manual search...I don't see it on Google Classroom.

"Oh, we sent it through ClassDojo."

---

This is very simplified. Google Classroom required teacher-provided codes to join "classes" for each subject, provided through...school email! School email is an unused morass for Google Classroom notification emails for every action your child or their teacher makes. Get a teacher message on ClassDojo? Sorry, can't tell if it was a mass message or directed at you, so you have to clarify whether it applies to your kid given their IEP. Got two parents using Dojo? Sorry, can't see if the other parent has already responded to a teacher message. Completed an assignment on Classroom but didn't click "Turn in"? Missing. Can't find where to enter answers? Oops, your child knows to use ImagineMathExploreLinkConnect to get to that material. Completed on that fourth-party platform, but didn't go back to Classroom to click "Turn in?" Missing. Triple checked everything but still a bunch of missing assignments in Infinite Campus? Teacher is behind on grading, and there's no way to know that, either from Infinite Campus or Google Classroom, but it was in the class newsletter we emailed to your child.

Maybe not all employers, but at least mine does not realize quite how much further parents fell behind that year than those without school-age kids, on balance.

When schools excitedly announce a new platform for learning anything, I want to punch myself in the face.
Sure, you can treat I/O functions as World -> World functions, but unlike other pure functions, the compiler can't compute them at compile time when they are applied to constant inputs. A program consisting entirely of pure function applications to constants can be evaluated at compile-time to just the constant(s) it would output, while a program that calls I/O functions cannot be (assuming those calls to I/O functions are not dead code).

This is certainly true for some cases:

> Meteorite falls may have been the source of cultish worship. The cult in the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, possibly originated with the observation and recovery of a meteorite that was understood by contemporaries to have fallen to the earth from Jupiter, the principal Roman deity.[68] There are reports that a sacred stone was enshrined at the temple that may have been a meteorite.

However, that doesn't mean that the particular knife of Tutankhamun was necessarily known by the Egyptians to have been made from meteoric iron.
It's just bad UX that has nothing to do with timing. Clicking submit doesn't change the state of the form in any other way. It should hide all the fields, include the button, and just show the message. Then they can't submit twice.

I appreciate that they are not memorializing this as a “hack.” That’s a mature stance. However:

Sarcasm alert: so the gist is engineering is hard and we should never assume actors within a system will act predictably: you don’t say!

Security is hard, but necessary, it’s never convenient. It takes relentless discipline and suspicion, which is dissonant in conventional software team dynamics.

Well, some optimizations can only be implemented at runtime, so comparing Rust and C# without knowing the actual scenario doesn't seem to make much sense.

Used it for so many years, just last year I switched to the 12 mini. The form factor was my primary decision in using the SE, and when my last one broke I decided that the relative improvement in battery life was worth trading to a larger phone. I'm happy enough but if they make a phone the size of the SE again I'll switch in a heartbeat, and I would not be sad if I had to "down"grade again in the meantime.
Where does the wasted energy from your induction stove go?
Nuclear power's "biggest problem" has been solved for decades. You can put everything in giant metal canisters and sink it into bedrock. It's vastly more expensive than doing nothing, but now that politicians are going to be held accountable for their fuckups they'll allocate the money.

And even after all that it's still far less expensive than remediating coal output.

I think this is illegal in Europe or parts of Europe! I’d feel differently if you were told this would be happening.
Have a Samsung induction. Induction kicks ass: incredibly fast to heat up, incredibly fast to reduce heat, good temperature control, dead easy to clean, surfaces stay relatively cool, etc. Flat(ish)-bottom wok works well. I highly recommend upgrading to induction stovetops.

Had a cast-iron pan on “hi” or “powerboost”. It heated up so fast it cracked. It was like a gunshot, scared the bejeezsus outta me. Surprisingly, it did not shatter the oven top.

Advice: don’t buy Samsung. Their products are always garbage. The stove’s convection no longer works. The dishwasher doesn’t clean well and plastic bits have disintegrated. The fridge has an icing-up problem. Every Samsung product is shit. Spend the extra dosh, get something from a better manufacturer.
In my experience, an inner circle is established at a company when it is still relatively small. Those fortunate enough to be in that protected circle can do no wrong. Any hires after that in group is established bear the brunt of that companies issues. It's very true with startups.

There are shaped induction systems, most commonly for woks or industrial heating applications. However, as it needs to very closely match the external shape of the cookware, the technical and commercial viability of a generic system would be relatively low, which is why you don't often see them marketed.

> According to Wikipedia, "the variety of cereal used [in the dish Polenta] is usually yellow maize", which is a New World cereal, so not available to the Romans.

It's quite possible that "polenta" was a generic term for "seeds mushed and baked into a savoury cake" that later evolved into a more specialized use.

Sort of how the generic term "corn" now refers specifically only to maize (and to maize in general, so shedding all of its meaning in the process) in American English for some reason while its cognate "kernel" does not.
> the runtime information and JIT compilation may allow it to make better optimisations.

In practice this mostly means speculative devirtualization. This is absolutely true for C++, which tends to use virtual methods a lot, but Rust doesn't use virtual methods much. Moreover, profile-guided optimization (PGO), which Rust supports [1], allows the Rust compiler to take advantage of these speculative sorts of optimizations just as .NET does.

Granted, PGO is annoying to set up compared to the .NET VM, which "just works". PGO'd Rust is deployed in production, though.

The problem with induction stovetops in my experience is that they really don't play nicely with Asian (particularly Chinese) cooking. Trying to stir-fry on one is maddening.

Usually any discussion about induction stoves seems to wholly revolve around European-centric cuisines, which is why I'm surprised to see this article quote a positive experience from a self-described "Kind of Chinese" restaurant. I genuinely wonder how they manage it and what I'm missing.
1 China can buy what it wants from Russia.

2 Russia still has nukes.
To a large extent, because they're building established designs. An EPR plant (that is, the same design as this one) was completed in China in about half the time of the Finnish one, but that would have been informed by the problems in building the Finnish EPR, which was the first in the world. Another EPR, being built by EDF (a French company) in the UK is broadly on-track, and should have a much shorter time to switch-on than the Finnish one.

This isn't new; historically, the first couple of examples of any given nuclear power plant design have typically seen major overruns.
Are Whiteboard Interviews the Best Way to Measure Devs?
Its common in our industry to get to tech interviews and expect to do white boarding exercises about binary tree and matrix operations. And while these can prove your academic proficiency, these are rarely the day to day skills that make a developer competent. I was told by a hiring manager once that their reasoning behind this is that "if you know the CS fundamentals it would be easier to collaborate across teams". To me this doesn't really translate into real life. I just wanted to rant about my dissatisfaction with white boarding interviews, but I also wanted to know what is the general sentiment at HN
