I use it at my current job in which I work in a large C++ codebase. I formerly used CLion.

Whether Emacs is an IDE or not depends how you define IDE. I use Eglot [0] for LSP integration; this gives me IDE-like features like "jump-to-definition", syntax error highlights, warnings, etc. and integrates with company-mode [1] for code completion. This handles most of my needs for writing code.

As for other things like a file tree, I've found that the built in `project-find-file` command combined with `vertico` [2] and `orderless` [3] makes finding files and navigating around projects easier; that pair behaves similarly to CMD+P in Sublime Text or VS Code. There are file tree packages out there, but I've found that I don't really need a file tree in practice and that I prefer navigating around projects with fuzzy file search and grep.

It could be they didn't have enough money to have kids.

Nowadays most families can't afford kids at the same standard of, let's say 40 years ago with the same amount of parents time.

I think it's crucial to be at home for kids and at maximum one working parent working full time

His teacher was wrong but "argument from etymology" is surely a fallacy.
> At a high level they're trying to solve a worthy problem: proof of personhood for crypto.

Crypto people keep saying blockchain will be great for managing digital assets, proving ownership and so on… but they can’t mint an NFT of my passport and use that?
The expansion of NATO didn't play a part in the invasion of Ukraine, in any moral or rational way. By framing it that way, Chomksy subtly creates a justification for the invasion that does not exist. Which is my point about how disingenuous this logic is.
The “NAL” statement wasn’t necessary: it was totally obvious the moment you wrote “definitely.”

There’s a 99.999% certainty that this non-issue will NOT result in a lawsuit.
Last week I went through the tedium of providing all of the requisite information when trying to book a 2014 Toyota Prius for 1 day @ $50.40 through Turo. On the final step of the reservation flow, Turo revealed an additional $50.40 service fee. Seeing the total price double didn't sit well. I promptly exited the reservation flow and deleted my account.

I agree with your sentiment - if the app shared the service fee prior to the final step of the booking flow, I may have still reserved the car. Even at a total of $100.80, the price was still less than other nearby options.

> I have never once wished my identity could be involved in a cryptocurrency for any reason.

Worldcoin tries to solve this exact problem. There's already a way to involve your identity in crypto, namely centralized exchanges using KYC. I don't have data to back this, but I would guess most crypto accounts are in some way doxxed via links to KYCd exchanges.
Worldcoin provides a way to prove you're a human (that doesn't already own an account) without having to provide any info about yourself, except a scan of your iris.

I share the overall negative sentiments about Worldcoin, mainly due to it being a VC-backed for-profit project. But you cannot ignore that it solves a real problem in crypto: Sybil resistance without access to hardware (mining in PoW) or capital (staking in PoS).
I'd be interested in this too if you find something.

I wouldn't think it would be overly difficult to write a tool that looped through the all the API endpoints to construct the full state.

Say what you want about AWS, but one great thing about it is how accessible almost every piece of account state is via API.

I'd imagine terraform has some logic like this somewhere in its guts?
You didn't cite your sources in massive claims but yes it's disingenuous to apply individual nation's actions on NATO. NATO is a defensive alliance. They did go to war in the mideast after the US was attacked on 9/11, triggering Article 5.

As far as mideast wars in general, most of them, especially from the 60s to 90s, were proxy wars between democratic states and totalitarian regimes. Whether it be Iran or another one. The mideast is a powder keg in general though, I wouldn't use that region's history, or any party's involvement as a guide for much of anything in regards to your views.

It's amazing to see people on both the left and right oppose NATO. 63 Republicans voted against supporting NATO yesterday, which is just astonishing and short-sighted. That is not the GOP that I once supported, they are lost. NATO is what prevented nuclear war for 70 years. Protected Europe so it could thrive into the healthy democratic states they are today. Prevented Soviet tanks from rolling in.

Especially today, when a non-NATO nation is under attack, and would not be, if it were in NATO. The whole Trump and far left anti-NATO viewpoints were absolutely blown out of the water. It's not even a debate anymore. Western expansion was the correct move as the mask is now off of Putin's Russia.

If you hate free and sovereign states, and like dictators building empires and committing genocide to do it- being against NATO is for you. The story today is the Free World consisting of democratic states vs totalitarianism / authoritarianism / dictatorships. That includes Putin's right-wing government, and Xi's left wing Communist government.
this could personally devastating to folks because likes and retweets are viewed as endorsements (despite what some think)

Good. Maybe people should spend a moment figuring out whether the person they're retweeting is an asshole before giving power to their voice.
It varies a lot based on the stage of company you are joining. Very small startups often pay relatively little in cash and rely on equity to attract talent, because the early stage hires are at least theoretically interested in the vision and potential upside of the business growing, and cashflow is tight at early stage companies.

Larger, later stage startups tend to rely less on equity and more on cash because the equity gets pretty diluted pretty quickly - there’s an awkward middle ground where there may still be plenty of uncertainty about whether the business will survive to an exit/IPO/etc despite some success, but where any shares you got aren’t necessarily enough to make up for low salary if one of those things happens. That middle ground is where large cash comp makes the most sense.

But broadly speaking, yes, tech startup salaries in the US trend high.
Austria did.

A critique of Tordoff et al. (2022)(puberty blockers and mental health)
It's becoming clear that efficient work in the future will hinge upon one's ability to accurately describe what one wants. Unpacking that -- a large piece is the ability to understand all the possible "pitfalls" and "misunderstandings" that could happen on the way to a shared understanding.

While technical work will always have a place -- I think that much creative work will become more like the management of a team of highly-skilled, niche workers -- with all the frustrations, joys, and surprises that entails.
It's good thing that we can't thought-hear then because 4chan is a hell of a lot closer to "what's going on inside people's minds" than polite society.
I rarely ride on roads with speed limits 45 mph or faster. I can't recall riding on roads with speed limits above 35 mph in recent memory, in fact. And 5000 lbs is quite heavy as that's more than a F150.

Many non-cyclists' perceptions of what is safe differ greatly from reality. For instance, passing can be dangerous, but intersections are where the vast majority of the risk are. And it also shows that a lot of dedicated bike infrastructure is designed to address perceptions of what's unsafe rather than what is actually unsafe. A lot of "protected" bike lanes in my view increase risk because they make the cyclists less visible at intersections.

I recommend looking at websites like https://bicyclesafe.com/ for a more realistic view of the risks of cycling and how to reduce them. My own style of riding makes the top 4 collisions there unlikely (I often "take the lane" as appropriate to improve how visible I am), though I do have issues with various types of right hooks. I'm not sure whether those can be avoided as I ride with hi-viz gear and try to be as visible as possible otherwise.
> Isn't that massively debatable?

Of course! Anything is massively debatable, if you want to be unreasonable enough about it. I've had discussions with people who were on the pro side of the "slavery debate", which is a thing apparently, and then tell me off using woke language to stay in my lane.

But, yes, all anti-sexwork positions must begin and with the premise and insist that the sexworker does not really have agency. Not really a reasonable perspective, no matter how cleverly you try to twist it.
I tried playing an old Ubisoft title recently, Farcry Blood Dragon. But it wants to connect to a long dead ubisoft server EVERY time I his Esc to go to the menu and takes 30 seconds to time out. Every time! I decided I just won't buy anymore Ubisoft games after that.

Agree on this. My therapist had the list printed out and laminated. During sessions where I'd describe an anxious situation, they'd hand me the sheet and a dry-erase marker to check off all the distortions in play in that situation.
>Plus, delta-speed practically equals speed when a vehicle collides with a relatively stationary object like a pedestrian or a cyclist.

If your road/city/transportation system is _routinely_ creating high delta-speed (and delta-mass) interactions then it is poorly designed.

As I said elsewhere I have nothing against bikes, but I do have a bone to pick with people who suggest cars/bikes/pedestrians belong on the same grid such that they routinely interface with one another.
Don't forget, a defendant has the right to subpoena the device that took the video/measurement. Users should be aware that they can essentially lose control of their phone during this process.

There's a reason most police departments forbid personal devices from being used to collect evidence in most circumstances.
That would be a stronger argument if he did not actively work to improve the image of Pol Pot while he was orchestrating the deaths of millions of Cambodians.
I meant to say that Dall-E 2's approach is closer to "teaching a three year old to paint" than the alternative methods. Instead of trying to maximize agreement to a text embedding like other methods, Dall-E 2 first predicts an image embedding (very roughly analogous to envisioning what you're going to draw before you start laying down paint), and then the decoder knows how to go from an embedding to an image (very roughly analogous to "knowing how to paint"). This is in contrast to approaches which operate by repeatedly querying "does this look like the text prompt?" as they refine the image (roughly analogous to not really knowing how to paint, but having a critic who tells you if you're getting warmer or colder).
I think a lot of this is largely due to the ever expanding definition of "sex work". I can't say for sure, but I'd be willing to bet that the "sex work" the characters in this twitter thread are involved in is selling nudes on the internet. If you want to call that sex work, fine, but let's not ignore all the horrific things that more "traditional" sex workers experience.

It's just odd to see an attractive western woman advocating for "sex work" because she made a killing on onlyfans from her bedroom. That is not the reality of most sex workers!
What I meant by "demand the company accept Plan W", was that you can not force the company to accept your "Plan W" counter offer, but if they do accept "Plan W" you should be able to enforce "Plan W" as long as you can prove that they accepted "Plan W".

In the example I gave in my edit with my own ISP recently, the inital offer they gave me when my contract was coming up to expire was to keep my existing price and level of service, however over the previous year prices for new customers had dropped below what I was paying and a competitor was even lower than my own ISP's new customer pricing (For the same level of service - the pricing diffence wasn't much but it was still there).

So when my contract was due for renewal I called them up (easier to negotiate with a human than a computer) pointed out that a) I was happy with the service they had provided but I was not happy that the price they initially offered to renew was higher than if I was a new customer. b) Because they hadn't offered the price that they gave new customers it incentived me to compare prices elsewhere which lead me their competitor and I was inclided to switch, but suggested that if they sweetened the deal I would stay.

The rep offered a lower price and I said I would agree aslong as they wavied any cancellation charges during the contract. I did say to the rep that I had no plans to cancel unless my street finally gets fibred. It took a bit of wording in the contract, tech speaking the early termination charge is still there however the discount I have cancels out that charge so it would end up being a zero owed balance which I was happy with (Chances are that my street won't get fibred during the remainer of my contract and even if it did I would prob use my existing provider as my fibre provider as they do offer it where its available, so it was a safe bet for the provider and just gave me a bit of reassurance).

My ISP had every right to tell me to go pound sand, my choices would have then been to take the best deal my ISP offered and stay or switch ISPs (which here in the UK has been fine-tuned to a point there is very little downtime, basically for most people its a case of swapping out the ISP issued router, for me it would be configuring my own modem to the new ISP's auth come switch over). Customer retaintion reps usually have a bit of leeway to keep non probmatic customers happy, and tbh I would have been happy if they had just price matched the price they offer new customers, but hey if you don't ask, you don't get :-)

This excludes connecting further to Germany’s neighbours, e.g. using Norway’s hydro exports as a battery.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_super_grid

Ireland and Britain has massive offshore wind potential that is only being slowly ramped up, for example. Macron has announced a new nuclear reactor building program, so potentially more carbon-free electricity to nuclear-adverse Germany. The massive Danish offshore wind park/energy island has yet to come online but will supply northern Germany.

And if you want to go even more exotic, you could get 24/7/365 renewable energy by piping geothermal to continental Europe from Iceland which has an oversupply. Or even building enormous solar parks in the Sahara (geopolitical risks notwithstanding).

There are plenty of options enabled by geographic distribution of supply without even looking at storage. The main problem is the lack of political will until now, which is changing with the realisation in Germany that Russia isn’t a reliable partner.

Edit: none of these rely on any technical breakthroughs either, merely ramping up the interconnection of grids and renewable sources of electricity.
Counterpoint. Because sex work is bad for once big tech is doing the right thing.
Did you ever get into Augur?
I've read that short and mid term the renewables boost will increase demand for gas in Germany. This is because gas power plants can be ramped up and down very quickly.
Coal and nuclear power is not very dynamic.

The flexibility is needed to compensate for spikes and especially the variable output of renewables.

In addition to that: My rough back of a napkin calculation[1] shows that we'd need almost tanker per day. Is this even realistic at all?

It raised $2.1 million in November 2020 (https://techcrunch.com/2020/11/23/friday-app-a-remote-work-t...), so the number is at least $2.5M if not higher.

Do you believe that for roads with speed limits 25 mph or below?

> Why again the Victorian moral project and supposed "prudery" was in the wrong, in the first place?

Not sure I understand. From wiktionary, for 'prude': "A person who is or tries to be excessively proper, especially one who is easily offended by matters of a sexual nature"

That doesn't sound like a good thing. Is its?

Glue and integrations with third-party systems are important, for sure, but were there any other jobs that customers were expecting more of, rather than this one?

NATO went east in 1999, which was before Putin. '08 was when the war in Georgia took place.
My trick with their system is to just look at every car, click through to the final receipt screen and then go back to find the cheapest one. It's a bit tedious and deceptive to the customer to present variable fee at the last part of the checkout process. Probably the worst modern "dark pattern" that I hope regulators take a look at.
It's absolutely bizarre to refer to the feature as an "edit button", which totally glosses over all the architectural and UI changes required.

Yeah it's really easy to make a button that you can click. Oh you wanted it to do something?
I retract my assertion then. However, there were several possible scenarios proffered in the comments whereby this is an easy bug to create. Mainly an increment setup where it increments itself instead of increments off of a base.
It's entirely possible that for your use case, Airship provided you with no value. But, just as a thought experiment:

- Did you also build the audience segmentation system (and UI) for your marketing team?

- Did you build a scheduled / triggered push system with per-device (or user account) rate limiting?

- Did you build the streaming data interconnect to pipe audience data back to anywhere else in your organization?

- Did you build the capability to remove devices that uninstalled your app from your notification list (surprisingly tricky, at least a few years ago, and APNS and Google will start getting very upset with you if you don't do this)

- Did you build an embeddable notification inbox with state synced across devices?

- Did you build a CDN for in-app notifications with video / images?

Because Airship did, and they will sell you all of that in one package. They'll charge an arm and a leg for it, but they do a lot more than just sit as a middleman between you and APNS when sending notifications. The relatively simple backend tech is definitely not their product, and if that's all you used from them then I would understand your frustration.
I call bs. It's far more likely that the card or email was flagged for chargeback history, the account was abusing customer support (saying items were missing, etc.), you showed up somewhere else doing fraud (e.g., your email was found in a fraudster message board, you were card cashing, you were using stolen gift cards), or any number of things. There's zero reason to believe it's because this person is sex worker without further evidence. This is all just speculation.
Another guy suggesting that now-justified western expansion of a defensive pact warrants this genocidal war on Ukraine. Just amazing. NATO = not invaded. Not NATO? Complete destruction.

It didn't even warrant an invasion of Ukraine. Let alone this. Have you read the news? It's not fake. It's all very real-

Sex work is near-universal in human society and sex workers are arguably among the most vulnerable of all working people, with an uniquely high risk of abuse and discrimination, hence the acute need for special protections.
> that are intrinsic to each human and are unable to be changed

This isn't universally true.

E.g. pregnancy is a protected class under many laws.

Religion is a frequent one, too.

And in e.g. California, political affiliation is one.

Who installed '/foo/bar/baz' when '/foo' is a symlink to '/usr/bin'?

I'm 100% in favor of the DPKG maintainer's perspective of "do ugly symlink farms" and then "reap what you sow" (ie: if you don't like there being a symlink there, then fix the offending package).
Who else read BS terms like "self-development" and "inner work" and had to hold down the vomit? Who talks like that?

Ask HN: ACM/IEEE membership. Worth it?
For the ones who are members, is it worth it? I always had in mind that the ACM and IEEE were for "professionals, for real engineers/computer scientists who are pushing the industry forward". I'm just a developer who sometimes care about good code, but more often than not pushes bugs to production.
No no no it's a terrible idea full stop and I've been in car accidents before. In fact I had someone roll a car into my front garden a couple of years back.

The problem is reckless incompetence, ego and ignorance behind the wheel.

Reporting the guy who rolled through my fence to the police and then them allowing him to keep driving because he requires driving to earn a living is where the problem is. He should have forfeited his right to get behind a wheel there and then and had to live with the consequences. I'm sure he's probably killed someone by now.

The car was doing under the speed limit when it was rolled into my garden.
> How is NATO expansion eastward scary or destabilizing for them?

It's scary and destabilizing in the sense that Uruguay doesn't really give a rat's ass about where the borders between east and west are drawn in Europe, but would really, really, really prefer that NATO and Russia don't get into a shooting war.

Same thing with threats to the MAD balance of power, like anti-missile defenses. Anyone standing on the sidelines doesn't really care about where the borders are, they just don't want one side to scare the other to the point of nuclear war.
