Yeah part of the reason it’s so tedious is that our application architecture is always Handler->Controller->Gateway or Repository->External Client, a pattern we first developed for Python. Errors mostly originate in the external clients and then have to be returned through all the layers.

When I read open source projects there is a lot more “PHP spaghetti” with business logic and storage interactions right inside handlers, which is indeed easier for error handling, but definitely has other problems.

Why is the government so afraid of allowing new student loans being issued to go into bankruptcy? Wouldn't this solve most issues going forward?

Separate note: instead of loan forgiveness programs, just pay for people's school up front if they go into these public sector jobs. Then if they quit before the end of their contract, they're on the hook for whatever. Same as the military academies system. Free college, 5 years of service, and you're done. I'm guessing they don't because they can weasel their way out of paying the forgiveness later through technicalities / miring the candidates with red tape, and the program is actually in bad faith.
companies can keep a list of universities and decide to only screen those who do not have a degree from those universities. the list can be dynamically changed based on on the job feedback.

any university in western europe is pretty hard to graduate at without actually having these skills. so it is pointless to enforce coding interviews for those who graduated there. you can’t “buy” a degree there.

How do you handle the missing drivers when it comes to running under the VM? Do you modify the backups, or do you opt for emulation with good old standard hardware instead?

Windows is.. Windows. Always pain with drivers there. Linux should be the easiest story, but since RHEL7 (and the derivatives from there), dracut has defaulted to "host-only" mode which leaves the initramfs so skinny and devoid of drivers not related to the host.

The fish is not merely holding position--it's actually accelerating upstream!

Reminds me of this Tadashi video: [How do fish swim so quickly?] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYDh5d9pfu8

Tadashi shows that fish turn drag into thrust by swapping the positions of the vortices they shed. Low effort, high output.

TFA takes this one step further--fish bodies are shaped to effortlessly harvest thrust from drag. No effort, free energy!

It's analogous. Mao decided to eliminate a problematic species. So he started eliminating it. Nationwide. Turned out, there were consequences to eliminating that species. Consequences that would have been obvious had he consulted with scientists. Or done a limited roll-out first. Things we're doing when weighing zapping these mosquitoes.

I would love to use one or more but the process to convert business logic to solver is painful so I ended up having to write a simulated annealing algo in Rust instead. I tried solver.com, Google OR-Tools, and a few other utilities.

It was much easier to build a score-calculator for min/max based on user-tweaked parameters, then, jiggle the data, re-calculate score, and keep doing it until there was significant improvement (again, standard SA). I would absolutely love to convert the entire production plan logic with material availability, lead-times, customer demand, quality control windows etc. to something like nextmv.io but looking at your docs, I have no idea where to begin.

Cost is a big factor too because 3 years ago I bought 4 old 24-core Xeons off eBay and they've been chugging non-stop simulating billion+ flops per hour with electricity being the only cost. I don't mind paying $50-100/day for cloud if the results are great and code is easy to manage. We have the same chicken-egg problem everyone in supply chain currently has - we don't have enough materials to make everything, don't know when we'll get everything, and so don't know the best order to buy/make everything in. I would love to write a solver for this using our dataset but I kind of don't want to re-invent the wheel.

As it stands, every solver I find is one layer of abstraction away from what I want to code in. I can explain the problem in length if you want but it's honestly nothing unique - just the standard MRP/ERP planning with ton of BOM items, PO delays, labor/machine capacity constraints etc.

Your existing tutorials explain how I can use your API/SDK to perform OR operations. That's great and a necessity. However, it's not sufficient for me because my questions are: How do I represent my production calendar in the JSON blob for your algo? How do I put a constraint of 100hrs/week/machine but also 168hrs/week/room full of specific machines. In other words, while each machine can run 100hrs/week, if there are 4 of them in the same room, only one can run at a time, and so combined machines in a given room cannot be over 168hrs/week. Maybe a tutorial or a higher-level library to help people like me convert business rules into JSON format for your APIs. Because even if I might be capable of using your API as-is, I unfortunately don't have the time to implement these things myself. Hope this makes sense and gives you some insight into at least one of your target use-cases.

Like you rightly said, you are not American. So it's really different for you to conceptualize or understand how deeply and integral racism is woven into every element of US. Reports like that helps make it visible to us so we can at least try to address it if we choose to. What you're doing is akin to blaming a mirror for putting a scar on your face. No the mirror isn’t the scar or the cause of the scar.

This is a lot of fun, and I've been playing off and on since it was posted yesterday. I would like to offer a humble observation, which is that games with two laser power-ups can lead to a bit of a stalemate. I just finished such a game, and neither of us went for the lasers. We each danced around waiting for the other person to grab one and reveal their position. Reading some of the comments here, I think that "experienced" players in general are winning games by loitering near the power-ups instead of grabbing them.
Well on the flip-side, these rare configurations are a niche. I think a lot of companies do themselves a disservice by focusing on the same lowest common denominator as everyone else. That is where all the competition is. If you can get 0.5-1.5% of the market and seize it all for yourself, that's not a bad foot in the door.

For comparison, DDG has about 0.7% of the search market.
Almost flat subscriber base, 10% more revenue, ~5% decreased profits.

They'd actually have to underwrite on the basis of the value of a degree -- yeah, no one is going to lend money to the same people who wouldn't be able to repay their loans after graduation. That's good!
I see this as basically just making amends for the failures of the PSLF program. This is for the folks who made years of payments expecting to get loan forgiveness after 10 years as promised, only to then be told none of the payments counted because they didn’t read the fine print or simply because of the loan servicer’s incompetence.

Is this because some cities are no longer safe for children to go outside? I wonder how things got so dangerous and if anything can be done.

sleep/standby on linux has really gone downhill in the last couple years, mostly because of microsoft's modern standby, which has become a price discrimination option for HP/dell/lenovo which only provide the better supported S3/etc ACPI methods on their "linux compatible" laptops.

So, what happens is that Linux tends to "work" on lots of lower end laptops/etc that ship with windows, but suspend will consume considerably more power vs just turning everything but the DRAM refresh off (what happens with S3). If you find a laptop with S3/etc support, the battery will last for days in linux as well. I have an older cheap dell inspiron from ~2016 and it can stay in S3 for more than a week from a full charge, and with a bit of powertoy/etc tweaking idles at about 3W which gives it about a 14 hour battery just sitting there with the screen/emacs running.

So, its definitely worth getting a "linux compatible" laptop if your not a kernel hacker who is willing to fix bugs in various drivers. Even then if your picky and you get a bleeding edge machine its quite likely there will be quality of life issues for the first couple years until all the fixes work their way through to all the distro's/etc everyone runs.

Its actually a good reason for avoiding the tier 1 OEM's, because acer/asus/msi/etc tend to ship with a full suite of BIOS options which allow better linux tuning. HP has gotten quite aggressive about changing/etc the password/hidden key sequences to unlock the hidden bios options.
Let's not forget that the marmite shortage is not SA's biggest worry just now.

Looking for a tech co founder for fintech startup
Remote work is here to stay. With more companies going remote, the need for a global payroll solution is inevitable.

Hiring employees in other countries as an extremely complicated and costly process for companies. In order to hire someone in another country, you would need to setup an entity in that country in order to place them on payroll. There is one other way, which is using an Employer of Record. This is a company that hires the employee for you, taking care of payroll, compliance, benefits and taxes.

Companies like Deel and Remote have raised enormous amounts of venture capital, which proves that the market is going to become huge.

In December 2020 I started working on Rivermate. Rivermate makes it easy for companies to hire anyone, anywhere. We take care of the entire process for you (payroll, compliance, benefits, taxes). We are a team of three currently (one developer, one copy writer and me). The platform has been built already and we are onboarding clients at this moment. Our platform offers access to both the employer and employee. And we offer adjacent products, such as contractor payments, time off and expense management

My goal is to build out this company to become the #1 global payroll provider in Europe.

Once I find the right co-founder, I will reach out to investors to get funding. I know many big VC's in Europe and can call them when we are ready to get funded.

This business has a shot at becoming a HUGE company. The market is hot (look at Deel, Remote, Papaya Global, that focus on the US market) and we can capitalize the European market.

What I'm looking for?

There is one thing holding me back from making this a successful company: I have yet to find the right co-founder. I'm not only looking for a technical co-founder, but also someone who wants to dedicate all of his time on building this company and who is willing to put skin in the game for at least the coming 5 years.

Criteria

Full stack development experience

Technically very strong

40+ hours available per week

Ready to put skin in the game

No payment, only equity until we get to the market

Good to have

Experience in fast growing startups

Entrepreneurial attitude

Experience in leading teams

Preferably same timezone (CEST)

About me

Successfully co-founded a startup, grew it to €3M+ yearly revenue and sold the company

From The Netherlands

Age: 26

Language: Dutch and English

My skills

Business innovation and management (two studies on Business Innovation and Management)

Huge network of potential customers

Huge network of angel investors and VC firms.

Technical and marketing experience

Experience in early-stage startups and product management

Incredibly hard worker

Things may have changed since they merged, but New Belgium Ale ran a second fermentation to create methane from the spent grains and dregs, then composted what was left. The methane from the second pass was sufficient to run some of their boilers, and the compost was consumed by the landscapers.

For anyone who doesn’t know the beer or winemaking process, I’ll put a rough overview here. It’s an interesting hobby, but one I didn’t stick with. My homes have had a lot of things but only occasionally have I had a place to make beer/wine/mead and a thermally stable place to store it (you get mouthwash if you don’t), and most of those involved narrow steep stairways I didn’t want to haul 25kg bottles up and down. I don’t think I would try again but I might help a friend if they ever wanted to.

You get two or three waste streams from brewing beer, not counting any bad batches/ingredients.

For beer, you sprout the grain in water to convert the starches to sugars, for everything, you then boil the sugary soup to release the sugars and minerals into the water and sterilize any wild yeast and bacteria. Sometime around when the yeast is added back in, the water is drained off and any solids are discarded. During the initial fermentation there are still suspended solids that will settle out, first due to lack of agitation, then flocculated by yeast grabbing onto some of what remains, but over time more and more of the dregs will be yeasts that have aged out or poisoned themselves with alcohol. For commercial processes, where space is at a premium, a food safe flocculant (something akin to chalk or clay IIRC) may be added to the end and or a mechanical filtering stage to get what’s left. But I think in these situations the tank may be agitated to speed up the yeast metabolism, trading time for complexity.

Spent grains or fruit after the boil, then one or more passes of sediment that eventually become mostly dead yeast. Brewer’s yeast is these later stages and it contains everything a microbe needs to live except sugars and oxygen.
There are some things which seems obvious candidates to me, such as trading. However I have been surprised at how frequently and intensely people fight this idea. However not everything automated is fought, why?

We (humans) are constantly interfering with ecosystems, including wiping out species.

The biggest misconception is that America could have a European welfare state if we just taxed the rich. The reality is the rich in America only pay slightly lower taxes than their European counterparts.

In Germany top income tax rate is 50%. In the US, it's 37% if you live in Texas and 56% if you live in California. In Germany long-term capital gains is 25%. In the US, it's 24%. In the US the corporate tax rate is 21%. In Germany it's actually lower at 16%.

The primary difference between Germany and the US is not taxes on the wealthy. It's that the German middle class pays significantly more than the American middle class. A couple with two children, each earning $65k/year will pay 28% of their income in taxes. Then on top of that they'll pay 19% in VAT tax on nearly every purchase. Effectively for every Euro earned, they're left with post-tax purchasing power of 59 cents.

In contrast, the same family in America will only pay 11% of their income in taxes. Depending on state sales tax comes in at 7%, and unlike VAT at most applies to maybe half their budget. For every $1 of income, this American household is left with 85 cents of post-tax purchasing power.

And that's the main difference right there. European welfare states are powered by taxes on the middle and upper-middle that are simply unacceptable to the average American voter. Imagine a politician running on a policy of tripling middle class taxes. It doesn't matter how much single-payer healthcare, free university education, and expanded public transit they promised. Americans would simply never vote for that.

I sort of get what you're saying, but at the same time I don't. Any logic that depends on what the "next/child" handler returns can get errors either from the response itself or the context, depending on the approach I want to take (context is probably most idiomatic, but its own bag of worms (I say that because values in the context are all empty interfaces/any type, which is a pain when you want a concrete type)).
