This idea that "eventually you make enough where money doesn't matter anymore" is a meme that couldn't be more wrong. Its the kind of thing said by someone who has never made that much money, but who is extrapolating their current relationship with money to a compensation multiples higher; then saying "well if I can live on $X right now, then the Y in $X+Y wouldn't matter, so money must not matter (past some level) (and, coincidentally, that level is always somewhere around what I make) (weird how it always works out like that, right?)".

You can say that it shouldn't matter; that a $200k salary decrease to someone making seven figures shouldn't matter, because they're rich and they can take it. Maybe that's a correct assertion; that it shouldn't matter. But: it does.

Money always matters. Money always matters. Money always matters.
However, after reading it several times, I don't like it. The heuristic "consist of numbers but isn't strictly speaking a number" isn't useful.

If HTML5 describes information semantics, labels should reflect the term's common usage rather than jargon for specific heavily caveated use cases— Credit card numbers and phone numbers aren't exactly edge cases.

I guess that means text is wrong, too? It seems like the current definition of text is "the type of input you'd put in a text input even if it's only numerals" and the definition of "number" is "incrementable or decrementable." Seems like it should be "general" and "quantitative" or something. Weird slightly counterintuitive instances such as "date fields are the quantity of days, months, or years since X" make more sense than "social security, credit card numbers, phone numbers, id numbers, etc. aren't numbers" to my eye.
Rumors say there could be a ProMotion capable display in the works, to be released in the fall. Might be the successor to the Pro XDR (at a lower price hopefully).
Your vehicle will never develop this number of issues on the day you buy it.

You buy it with a trivial occasional issue that can be worked around, and the issue gradually starts happening more and more often and getting harder and harder to work around. And at the same time, another trivial issue will develop....

That's how my motorcycle went from 'needs to be kick-started' through 'sometimes it takes a few tries', through 'bump starting works though', to 'you can bump start it within 6 attempts', to 'you can bump start it within 6 attempts, as long as you didn't use the headlights too much last time you rode it'
Strong job growth in March, economy picks up 431,000 jobs
I wish my macOS running device had Home/End buttons.

I've tried on multiple occassions to remap keys to use as those are favorites in NLE workflows. My brain just has a harder time remapping the keys than the OS.
A large part of the internet is after "growth and engagement". They don't have a real business model where the consumer pays for the service (otherwise it wouldn't matter whether the paid content was accessed by a human, bot or even alien), so the best they can do is either "grow" which means recruit human users (or at least with enough plausible deniability to claim they're all human - whether they actually are doesn't matter) so they can get more investors to pour money into the dumpster fire (though thankfully that strategy seems to have died down now), or obtain an ever-increasing amount of "engagement" which involves wasting human user's time so they can sell that crowd to advertisers.
The third party has to demonstrate trustworthiness, but isn't that always how arbitration of a disagreement works? Even in the existing monetary system with all its clawbacks, someone has to decide whether you're actually eligible to get your money back.

At least in this system, you could have whole services that build a track record based on publicly identifiable information. You can't flood them with reviews to skew the results because you can cryptographically verify whether the reviewer was party to the disputed transaction.

There are a thousand theoretical variants on the same basic idea, but it's at least no worse than the existing system.
Inc-Query | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Remote (anywhere) | Full-time | https://inc-query.com

I’m the founder at Inc-Query, a ~50-person, fully remote company that’s building a better survey platform. We are looking for a senior full-stack developer to join our small but growing dev team.

Our stack is TypeScript, Node, React, and Postgres primarily, with a smaller Django/PG codebase too. I daydream about rewriting in Rescript or Koka :)

We have a variety of interesting technologies, including a custom programming language interpreter and type checker, a concurrent editing system, a data streaming service, and more. We value LOC not written more than LOC that are, and we try not to break things.

We have been a fully remote company since 2016, spread across over a dozen countries, and therefore tend to work asynchronously and sustainably. We are profitable and growing organically, and we have an extremely talented team.

If this sounds like it would be a good role for you, please email me at hn[at]domain_name and include "survey" somewhere in the email body to defeat the spam filter
“I have been interested to see how much debate he has caused in such a short time - We need more lightning rods like this!”

Agree 100%. To ignore the realist framework makes the world less safe, more prone to war. More theories, more voices, makes us a safer world less prone to war. War is bad, so putting a lot of thought into avoiding it is good.

My sense is that many people have an inverted view because they haven’t studied history or international relations, and lack the meta cognitive capacity to consider what theories are and how to evaluate them. Criticism of defensive/offensive realism comes from this deficit. Learners think a theory is either right or wrong, and that a person is more or less synonymous with a single monolithic theory and so they too must be either right or wrong (eg Darwin, Freud).

The reality is that even “wrong” theories are useful. When nuclear war is a possible outcome, we do ourselves a favor by considering more voices and theories especially those with strong predictive power.
> Although with humans I would guess that the 9 months of pregnancy and years of care is the relevant sunk cost.

Humans are social animals with a wide variety of cultural values, in most cultures throughout history it won’t be a viable option for a man to go around impregnating multiple women every year and likely result in becoming a social outcast in civilized societies or outright killed in others.

Most cultures tend to be monogamous, courting and marriage being fairly common and also dowries were and are real thing -where a man pays a cost for each daughter to be married - not to mention co-evolution of societal norms that have also resulted in laws in some societies requiring child support until a child is 18. Whatever the natural biological costs, humans seem to have created different social norms and laws that have there own costs tending to curb the behavior you describe.
Not sure why the downvotes but that’s a crucial question. Unfortunately, products from the 90s have been deemed fancy and had their prices increased by a multiple of around 15, at least in the US.
I live in Massachusetts, the land of the rotary. Rotaries here are amazing with multiple lanes of crossing traffic, traffic lights, and occasionally making traffic IN the rotary yield to entering traffic.

My favorite is Newton Corner, 3-4 lanes of chaos in a 1/2 mile circumference featuring 200+ street signs, 23 crosswalks, 12 traffic lights, intersecting 6 local roads, and a highway interchange. Oh, there's also a couple bus stops for the 10 or so bus routes. One is generally required to cross several lanes of traffic to exit the rotary at the desired location.

The roundabouts that have popped up are downright relaxing in comparison.
Hah, 68 Camaro here[1]. I had the clutch linkage fail on me once in Miami Beach and managed to drive it all the way home to South Miami w/o the clutch. My recollection was that I had to push start it and managed to time all the traffic lights home so I never came to a full stop.

I can't believe you managed to do that for a month.

Not to mention this is the only glossy display he's used, which is visually going to be much more pleasing than a matte display until you can't stand the glare.
I agree with Simon. I think you could run tests against SQLite locally so they're quick but then run them against Postgres in CI to ensure it works against the database you're running on. There's a lot of subtle differences in how the two databases work even though they both support a lot of the same SQL syntax.

You could also run SQLite in production. Then you don't have to test against a different database locally. :)

The type of plastic used for water pipes (cross-linked polyethylene, or PEX) has no known safety concerns as far as I am aware, mostly because it doesn't require added plasticisers. This is in contrast to PVC, which often contains phthalates and polycarbonate, which often contains bisphenols.

I've worked in SF and this is the first one I've seen.

> I don't know how to quantify that into a "magnitude", but I don't think that's a precondition for discussing the issues of the day.

Sure! You go ahead and prioritize your brainspace the way you want - but I'm frustrated that I keep having to see culture war crap because people dug up the one twitter user or github user with a bad take. And I'm frustrated that otherwise reasonable people turn into moralizing frenzy-bots as arbitrary and poorly conceived as a bot that changes "man page" into "person page", when they see that tiny sliver of takes.
That's what it sounds like, not that you say it...
The least expensive way to try things out is, of course, via emulation, and there's very active work and archiving being done for early 8-bit microcomputers such as Apple II, Commodore 64, TRS-80 and Atari machines. Apple emulators, such as Virtual ][ (http://virtualii.com) and AppleWin (https://github.com/AppleWin/AppleWin) at least, let you emulate not only the Apple II but CP/M as well. There's old hardware out there as well, with all the problems associated with it.

For other old systems, such as the PDPs, Vaxen and others, there's simh (http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ and https://github.com/simh/simh).
At some point I figured out that solving technical problems is very much like a game. It’s more rewarding because you’re actually accomplishing something (more or less), as opposed to playing a game where it’s just other people making pointless challenges for you to overcome.

That’s a very different thing than people who play games for avoidance reasons. It’s well established that most things are “addictive” when doing that activity so often impacts one’s ability to function in other parts of life, like maintaining a job, relationship, etc.
my reasoning is based on watching large numbers of medical devices and other consumer devices that have been deployed to billions of people. In that sense, yes, I am applying a prior. But also, kids just don't learn the steps required to make reliable field devices. They learn how to set up an experiment and run that with lots of hands-on adjustments. That doesn't work in the field. You have to assume your users are idiots with harsh environments who are actively undermining your device.
No increased risk of brain tumours for mobile phone users, new study finds
I've been coding in functional languages for 10 years, and they have problems, but these are not them.

The first problem is solved in every functional language I've used (clojure, F#, OCaml) by immutable data structures (aka purely functional data structures, which is also the name of the de facto book on the topic, which is excellent but also you don't need to know any of this to use them. [1]). I'm surprised to see this critique without a mention of this.

The second problem seems to be due to trying to do OO in FP. The thing is you don't have a glyph, you have a whole system which contains glyphs. So you can't do an update on a glyph because it won't update the system.

This is a common frustration when you're used to OO and can be really annoying in FP but it's also part of the design modelling that FP forces you to do: the problem was that he was modeling in the small and not the large.

The solution is not the 1, 2, or 3 from the article (1 and 2 are bad, 3 is not as bad but not FP), but is straightforward. When you want to update a glyph, you use a function like `updateGlyph(pathToGlyph, functionToExecuteOnGlyph)`. That's at the top-level, and it allows you compose your lower level `updateGlyph` functions.

I would gladly pay a premium for an Airbnb style home in my chosen location with an emphasis on month long stays for digital workers. This basically boils down to amenities like high speed WIFI + a comfortable office chair and desk. Airbnb's 'dedicated workspace' is a joke of a filter with hosts claiming a side table with a stool is one.
Also there needs to be an in-unit laundry filter!
To be clear: not criticizing the current state of hiring. I agree nothing better exists, and it's a narrow mindset to think companies do this when there are better approaches.

My point is Dropbox asks questions that are beyond what its peers ask, even companies not its peer (FAANG, which we don't think Dropbox is apart of).

This is an explicit decision by the engineering leaders at Dropbox. It's interesting, and I'm wondering if it works for them.

You're probably right about it being an exercise in resume building, and that's totally fine. But then they unleashed their creation on projects as prominent as Rust. If you're looking for that kind of exposure you might want to spend twenty minutes testing the code first.
To clarify, only direct relatives can give permission to baptize a deceased relative by proxy in the temple. So if you're worried that simply adding a name to FamilySearch guarantees they will be baptized, that is not the case unless you have a relative that is a member of the church.
I love it.

On the plus side, I learned so much about how cars work that I can fix a lot of things now. My personal peak was going from “uh-oh, the alternator on the Oldsmobile died” to having replaced it with a new one from the store in 43 minutes.

>>"Censoring it might keep the racists to their ugly selves, but that's OK with me. "

I used to think of "Racism" and "Racist" as binary . You either ARE or are NOT a racist (and "I am definitely not!":). Life, and people smarter than myself, have thoroughly convinced me that it is a spectrum instead. The most open-minded, liberal, self-aware, "un-racist" people I've met realize there are impulses, tendencies, biases in all of us. Kind of like some of the smartest and most knowledgeable people are humble and aware of their gaps of knowledge. Thinking racism is binary and "I'm not it", blinds you to many aspects of it.

I remember a poor but enlightening joke a long time ago: "Those driving slower than myself are idiots; those driving faster are maniacs". I feel we may have similar personal line on racism spectrum: Those more close-minded than myself are "Racists!!!" those more open minded are "Woke!!!".

Which is to say - I don't think there's an easy, small, easily identifiable group that we should just lock up. We can start at the bottom of spectrum and quickly agree that "well these people are definitely racist", but pretty soon we'll get to the delta between our two lines, and then who gets to decide who is locked up / what should be censored? Whoever we eliminate, whoever we lock up, there's going to now be the next person/group/opinion that is now at the new bottom and needs locking up.
Patterns like those are really, really really common on truck transmissions.

One rail is 1st/reverse. Another rail is 2nd/3rd and the last rail is 4th or OD and direct. Whether the "fore is a lower gear than aft" holds between the 2nd and 3rd rails is a function of whether or not it's a the pair of gears that constitute "forward gear on the right rail) will either be greater or less than 1:1 depending on if it's an overdrive transmission whereas the rear position on the right rail will always be direct for reasons that boil down to "that's the sensible way to build it".

There's not much to "figure out" when you have a direct lever that goes into the shifter.
>Facebook/Meta stock lost 30% of it's value a few months back and may not recover any time soon.

I think a significant driver of that was the tightening screws re: criticism and pending federal investigation.

The brand reinvention was in the context of changing perceptions that could culminate in existential threats to the company. There is no good way out of it, but changing the conversation from "Break up facebook" to "gee that Meta sure is weird", is a mixed success, and exchanging catastrophe for mixed success made quite a bit of sense as a strategy.

Yes, and they learned that they violated it and corrected it by hosting the above source. What's the issue?

As you said this happens all time by companies even you worked for, why get bent out of shape if they corrected it?

Do you blow up this much for other companies or is it bias?
IF they live in a place where this is perceived as safe.

How many Canadians are now rethinking that decision after the government banned people from using their own money if they supported a cause the rulers found objectionable? It's not everyone, certainly, but it's also not no one.

Banks are safe until they aren't. If you're lucky enough to live somewhere they are, for now, great! Enjoy that while it lasts.

But recognize that it isn't true everywhere, and it isn't necessarily true always even where it's true presently. Just because it's a reasonable thing for you to do right now, that doesn't make it a reasonable thing for all or even most people to do now, much less indefinitely.
Came here to say this. The author wasn't actually describing problems with functional programming, he was describing his troubles due to naive implementations.

Naive implementations will always, by definition, not be great. But instead of spending the time, energy, and money on crafting a custom solution each time, use off-the-shelf libraries that do the job. DataScript, Storm, etc. are great for this.

I thought me and my cousin were the only ones with this issue. Cannabis makes my bones ache like nothing else and it feels like my tendons are being torn apart. I don't understand why. I used to smoke heavily between 2010-2013 without issue. I stopped and didn't try it again until 2017 or so, but it's never been the same since. It doesn't take much either. Just one mild hit and it's pain city.
Right, and that’s what feeds the nation as a whole. Most of the USs winter time vegetables come from the southwest. If you’ve eaten a salad in winter, the lettuce came from Yuma, AZ, which grew it with Colorado river water. Moving to another part of the US will not make the food you eat more sustainable or less prone to drought.

One way moving to a region with more water will help is if there is a collapse of society, where you need to grow your own food.
