I've never used their normal search engine, but their image search blows Google out of the water.

I highly encourage anyone who frequently uses Google images to try out Yandex.

What's really interesting is the differences in the results -- it seems like Yandex is actually filtering for high quality art. I've got a project on the back burner to scrape google and Yandex for the same queries and then do different sorts of analysis on them and see if anything interesting pops up.

Going by eye, most photo results on Yandex are higher resolution, and more saturated. It also doesn't pull images from video thumbnails like Google does.
I pretty strongly disagree this is actually possible (and not just be an exercise of made-up statistics) at any sizable company.

Look at Google for example. I'm quite sure that a very large percentage, if not majority, of the employees at Google produce net negative value. The problem, of course, is that it's impossible to know which ones. I know a bunch of people (brilliant people, mind you) that worked years on products at Google that never shipped, or worked on products that shipped but were discontinued long before they were ever profitable. But Google is willing to make these investments because they believe that, one day, one or two of them will pay off spectacularly.

I mean, Waymo has certainly never been profitable (heck they've barely had any revenue) - what do their employees argue?
Depends bit on audience and if you are managing other parts outside of notebooks. Like pipelines dags etc. notebooks can be tricky if you stuff too many responsibilities into them.
~~Yes, in my head I was considering all of those to be, in their total, the "sublicenses." Should have been better worded; but a total of 240 distinct MIT licensed dependencies in a project is the number at which MIT-2 would run out of atoms to print on.~~

Nevermind, I see your point! In reality it would be something relating to N sums of 2^k, k being highest depth dependency for each of the N projects. Obviously we're talking bounds and not exact calculations here.
FoundationDB was the first publicly available distributed transactional KV on the market that I can recall. It wasn’t “open” though - always proprietary. They generated a lot of hype and good press for being this NoSQL DB that was all about ACID correctness in the age of “mongo is webscale (by writing to /dev/null)”. They had a demo showing impressive throughout on a low power cluster with no data loss during a power cycle. I think that despite generally impressive tech they had some trouble selling but did end up selling the company to Apple.
I’m not asking to be considered a profit contributor but not contribute to profits. I’m asking to not be a profit contributor.
Companies are disastrous in many countries. It's a broad organizational structure that can be run many different ways.

I just know that at work I am alone and weak. With everyone else I would be on more equal footing with my employer. Instead of quitting, why not make my workplace better?

Your comment reinforces nyanpasu64 point that the average C++ developer doesn't understand multithreading. Your comment is wrong in that it is never correct in a standard conforming C++ program to read and write to the same object from different threads without the use of a memory barrier, even if the CPU + RAM supports it. The C++ compiler itself will not support such an access pattern and the compiler may reorder instructions that are not protected by a barrier in such a way that results in undefined memory access.

> I know some of you will say “Just ignore the status game altogether,” but this is easier said than done. Like many other animals, we are biologically wired to respond to status. Ignorance is not the way out.

> The way out is building a solid foundation of status in multiple things. It’s about becoming diversified in your life, not just your portfolio.

You don't have to pursue status. You can be aware of your innate desire to pursue status and then avoid doing it as much as possible.
How does that reflect on the usefulness of the economy
I don't care about what you believe, I care about what policy you enact, and Republican policy has been objectively anti-worker for my lifetime. So if you vote for Republicans, you are anti-worker.
> Younger folks today are the unlucky beneficiary of years of wage stagnation and home price inflation

Yes, and the pandemic brought a brief moment of dignity (but not safety) to the low paid service workers who make our society operate. They went from the butt of cruel jokes to “essential workers” and “heroes” overnight. It is very, very hard to force people back into undignified circumstances once they’re had even a taste of being treated like a person.

Veering into my own pet theories, I think that the social aspect of who is and is not allowed to be treated like an actual person is a highly underrated factor of unionization pushes. It often costs companies little to nothing financially to treat their employees like actual people, but it feels good to those on top of the office hierarchy to abuse and belittle those they see as their social inferiors. They ignore the risks of this behavior at their own peril.
I also did like it as well.
I fell so hard for Morrowind and then Oblivion just wasn't engaging at all, felt like I never got anywhere, I certainly didn't get into any of the main quest like I would have liked.

But yeah the graphics are awful and enabling the expansions from day one causes you to suddenly be assassinated in the night when you are still a nobody. On a plus note if you survive and are determined you can use the paralytic effects of the assassin's daggers to win a really powerful sword from a depressed Orc, he wants to die a noble death in combat... Not sure getting paralyzed so that your opponent can drink gallons of Sujamma and smack you with Hulk strength into a wall counts as noble but hey we all have our quirks.

The addictive thing about Morrowind was clearly the stories we told ourselves. You knew the people who would get really hooked because they spent hours on that “what’s your name?” screen.

You’re saying that having a lot of money helped you have a great body. That’s true of course but the relationship is also true in reverse. You can leverage a great body into making a lot of money. Great examples are Arnold or the Rock who became big action movie stars based on their physique. Also, of course athletes.

So I don’t think “money is the key to success in every other aspect of life” is true since the relationship is bidirectional
Why not use the referenced MIT-Zero license instead?
I did read a while ago that a war on on mainland china would be expected to be fought largely underground. This is due to unstoppable, cheap drones and loitering munitions on both sides basically making the surface unusable for combat.

More importantly (because that's definitely something the NSA would try to do), curve25519 has fewer degrees of freedom to hide a backdoor in than P-256; 2^255-19 is the largest uint255 that's prime, and the other parameters (mostly the coefficent A=486662) were chosen by a similar "first value that satisified the security requirements" process - there's a paper by DJB explaining the parameter selection rationale around somewhere[0], although they could definitely stand to be more conspicuous about it.

0: The value of A is (poorly) explained in passing in https://cr.yp.to/ecdh/curve25519-20060209.pdf under heading "Why this curve?", but that doesn't explain any details for someone who's not a cryptographer.
This reminds me of a phrase "he is smart when he applies himself". Well good for him, but there are people who are smart even when they aren't trying - and those are the smart people.

The MIT license isn't owned or managed by MIT in any capacity. The name was given to it many decades ago (since it is derived from a bunch of licenses used by MIT at the time) and it just stuck.
i wish i could dare to make a game this stupid. it's simple. and a touch stupid. but definitely enjoyable for a little bit. that was fun. way more fun than cow clicker. don't tell ian bogost.
a little bit oot, but just installed tailscale on my dev stack (ec2, bare metal at home and my macbook air). mindblown by its simplicity and "it just works". Use it for logging purposes (ELK is too heavy for free tier ec2) and CI/CD (again, too heavy for my free tier ec2)
First thought upon reading the title: "Surely you could pay them to stay."
I have similar concerns about the name being confusing, in the sense that the original MIT license originated from MIT, whereas this license was written by someone else. It might appear as if MIT is endorsing this license despite only serving as an inspiration, and we don't know if MIT actually wants to endorse it.

all of which is illegal, but proving it is damn hard and expensive.
That's because good safety nets means people don't have to take risks on business. So that leaves only the people who want to start a business.

Who tend to leave for countries where it's easier to run a business and where they don't have to pay for the safety nets, but that's besides the point.

As for freedoms, I don't know. Not that much of a difference between US, UK and Germany from what I can tell.
If you click the time code (“one day ago”) to get the comment on its own page, you should see a “favorite” hyperlink, this will add the comment to a list of your favorites, the link to which is at the bottom of your own profile page. Took me a few years of HN to notice it.
Right but the K doesn't have that, that's primarily a construct of USA.
Probably because Bitcoin is significantly more volatile than any reasonable currency. It's far more like a stock than a currency.

The issue dispensaries have is that they can't open bank accounts. If the issue was just with only paying in cash they could just accept the cash and deposit it at the bank. If they could use bank accounts they could accept bitcoin and immediately sell it for money deposited in the bank for that value.

Instead they have cash, safes full of cash, and they pay their workers in cash. If they accepted bitcoin they would have to hold their capital in bitcoin and pay out workers in bitcoin. They're not going to do that when bitcoin can crater in value day to day. On the same token they could just accept shares in GameStop for transactions. The problem is that tomorrow they could double in value or be worth nothing, which is not very comforting when you're a business with bills to pay.

Disorder is a medical term that means an illness that disrupts normal physical or mental functions. This describes autism but not homosexuality (which, I was not aware, has now been declared to be of entirely genetic basis?)

You can always go hipster. 'Finance-bro' well dressed may be harder to pull off in tech. But, 'thrift store cashier' well dressed is very doable. East-Asian fashionable is also totally fine.
Nope, there's too much fraud and inexperienced founders in the DAO space. There's no way that investors will prefer DAOs unless that's rectified. Also, DAOs aren't a one to one replacement for VCs. So at best DAO's will continue to be an investment alternative and form of financing for new ventures.
> We're laughing at this because it's obvious satire and tongue-in-cheek, and we're laughing at ourselves. No one here that's a programmer strives to produce buggy code, quite the opposite. Frankly, your attack on programmers at large is quite offensive and unnecessary. We're fallible human beings, the same as you (unless you're a bot, but I'm assuming you're a person).

I think logicallee is a person trying to be satirical. But from your comment and its sibling, I guess that wasn’t obvious. Poe’s law strikes again (and now I’m wondering if I could be missing satire in your comment… I need more sleep).

Unfortunately darcs suffered from the patch-of-doom problem, where if you were unlucky an exponentiation merge would kill all performance of your repository.

The darcs FAQ from 2012 reports it as still unfixed:

(Yes this was real, and yes we hit it. I liked the patch-centric darcs approach, but that was enough to make us migration to mercurial, then later git.)

Classless.css – Less Classes. Less Overhead
Can we stop naming products in lowercase? elementary is already a word. So is node. Add a damn capital. It's a noun.
i really don't know a ton about this product or team but it sounds like if they had used aurora mysql or aurora postgres in the first place then there would be nothing to write a blog post about because it would've just worked and kept working. they say they want to avoid vendor lock-in but if the vendor became a real issue they'd be doing their first migration instead of being on v3 already. additionally, their bespoke solution relies on s3, which is also a vendor-specific technology, so it seems like they haven't avoided vendor lock in? i've seen many cases of developers doing more work to avoid vendor lock-in than it would take to replatform if it ended up being a necessity, and this really feels like that looking at it from the outside. i'd understand this better if mysql or postgres couldn't solve their problem, but that is not the case here, and i can't wrap my head around a company who is ok with their devs reinventing a very good wheel 3 times when the obvious choice would've worked fine the first time. it seems like they are successful in spite of these decisions, not because of these decisions.

I just picked up Forbidden West but haven't had a chance to play it much yet because of a big work push (no spoilers, please). I completely agree with basically everything here. The game is a blast so far but I'm not sure how they could top the first game so I've been trying to measure my expectations.

I was talking to a coworker about it and the first thing he asked me is, "What about all that amazing gear you get by the end of the first game?" which I think perfectly illustrates your point. They took Aloy to the top and although they managed to make it work so far it does feel a bit awkward, like they may have jumped the shark. But hey I'm just excited to have a cool game to decompress with. I guess in the end it's not that different than a sequel to a movie. People who loved the first will more or less come back to see the second.
There's the technical definition where rectangle is a genus of the species square, and there's the colloquial definition - if there are two boxes and one is a cube and the other is elongated, most people will ask for "the rectangular" one and not the "non square" one.

You probably have a supercomputer in your pocket. Self driving cars have started service around me. Engineering builds on its own success and many techniques/solutions get standardized and commoditized. Today’s hard is tomorrow’s simple (and conversely yesterday’s simple can become today’s hard as techniques are forgotten or we lose old ways of doing things).

There’s a manga about a food critic (Oishinbou [1]), where he takes another food critic to a hole in the wall Tokyo restaurant as an example of elite cooking. The chef-owner brings him his meal.

Which is just a piece of cooked fish, rice, and miso soup. The critic is first almost insulted by such a simple meal. But then realizes the fish, rice and soup are prepared to perfection, and is amazed at the chef’s skill.

You should start by learning more about the product, and then tell them they should use Aurora for all their backing store.
What are the right tools? I’d love to read about what I may be missing out on.
I know (or, my sense is that) the whole dopamine detox thing causes a lot of folks to raise eyebrows, myself included for the most part. But, I’ve done multiple meditation retreats, which are a kind of extreme case of dopamine detoxing in practice (although most folks frame their reasons for meditating very differently than that).

I have to say, the quality of my first person experience is massively changed during these retreats, and you usually return to “normal life” with quite a different perspective on it. It just _feels_ different, and I realize I don’t have to be so caught up in all of it. Although if I don’t keep up the practice, that quality of experience and perspective fades very quickly, and I find myself back to being battered around by various interests, desires, impulses.

It’s kind of like crash dieting. Unless you can incorporate these changes (ie, a better digital diet) into your life sustainably, you won’t reap any real long- or maybe even medium-term benefit. Although, the upside of meditation retreats (or maybe dopamine detoxing?) is that you do at least learn that there is a “there” there.

Try and fix it. Some things can't be fixed, but many can. And I'm talking by any means necessary.

Of course, first and foremost, one must understand and accept the risks.

I do suffer from ADHD (which has been getting more severe over the years), which leads to anxiety and depression (I call it the ADHD->anxiety->depression circle, vicious thing).

It doesn't have to be accepted. It needs to be fucking fixed.

I am in Europe, where it's "accepted" as laziness. So I can't get proper medication and recently started my own mini lab risking years in prison. I realized I am absolutely, undoubtedly fucked without medication, and that's the only solution I came up with, judge me lol. Chemistry is fun, though.
