Got RENEE last night. I just threw it in because nothing else was making sense with the letters we had available.

I like AUDIO and PIOUS as vowel removers depending on what's already in and out. FRUIT has also served me well.
One person spending 1 minute to write a reply versus a dozen people spending 15 minutes trying to find the right answer.
Being afforded a close call like this is at least better than the Trump election where the unthinkable happened and the populist won narrowly in an upset no one believed would happen. Now at least Macron gets a chance to adjust policy for 5 years to not lose next time.
I wouldn't index on this too much. I've worked for companies with unlimited PTO where I took 6-8 weeks a year while still getting stellar performance reviews and companies with a fairly generous fixed number of accrued vacation days where people rarely took off and performance was all about your impact with no consideration for vacation used.

The only thing you can count on is if you live in a state that requires payouts for unused vacation, you'll at least get more money if you don't take vacation.
It's also practical; as the plane is moving forward, the aft seat needs a head start to reduce chances of mid air collision, or even burns.
LOVE this. Have been wondering where these illustrations came from.
> people have been indoctrinated to expect home ownership

Expecting to own the building and land on which you live and from which you contribute to society is a product of indoctrination? That makes sense if you're completely against land-ownership (which is, on the surface, a reasonable idea), but surely accepting the only current alternative (paying rent) is the product of an even more sinister form of indoctrination?
I love the quotes from Khrushchev, who was clearly not naive. A kitchen race to match the space race!
OK, who's going to make the under-the-scale LED lighting, and a motorized slide and then the number gets displayed in digits in an ambient display under the left bottom stationary part? A 2022 Slide Rule -- Modern Retro-Computing?
Ask HN: Do you use freelance developers to make apps?
Curious. Have you used freelance developers, contract developers, agencies, sites like Upwork or Gigster, to outsource development of any apps?

Why or why not? And whole apps or parts?
All of that is moot unless you've tested the software yourself and found it to be broken in certain terminal emulators.

I agree with your point that it's easy to write CLI software that relies on features not all terminals have, but it's almost equally easy to write simple and portable software and test it in the most used terminals.
Many early ejection seats used explosive charges instead of rocket motors. These were less powerful overall (didn't throw pilots as far from the plane) but I suspect they might have kicked a lot harder in the instant of ignition.
I have the same dream, but I'd like it to plug into the Internet Archive.

Then again, the cost to the world's trees would be substantial because I'd remember about the Serials in Microfilm project[1]. Seriously, check out these images of the collection[2].

Then again, again, think of all the carbon you could sequestrate by printing that many books (and keeping them).

I've even considered DIY book binding so I can print fun things, but it's (obviously) quite a mission. Occasionally I see a novelty reprint of an old volume of a periodical in a museum shop and I start searching for book presses and glue and then sanity prevails.

That would require a level of meta awareness about science that adherents of specific fields just don’t have.

People could’ve said the same about phlogiston.

We live in an age where we assume we are right about most things, that’s completely historically unjustified.
My experience has been that almost all contracts end up being edited. Whoever gives the impression that "they never change the contract" is lying.
> Of course. Goes without saying. Helping people increase their productivity --through clear communication-- is one of the main jobs of an eng manager.

Curious why people are 'bewildered' on your team when you have to clearly pointed out the to get promotion you have crank out maximum number of features than anyone else ( for example). There was also failure to 'increase their productivity' if they are taking 2 weeks to deliver basic stuff.

I might be wrong here but sounds like management style is that of a passive observer that rewards 'top N' , punishes 'bottom N' and lets everyone else just stagnate.

> I know my statement may offend egos

It has nothing do with ego, you are obviously right, people are different. I just dislike 'fixed mindset' managers. Managers who have absolved themselves of any responsibility to improve or elevate their teams by proclaiming things like

> people by and large do mediocre work

> Talent and skills are simply not evenly distributed. Sucks, but that's just how it is.

There is just no benefit to me working for someone who holds these attitudes about me and my 'talent and skills'. I simply have nothing to gain.
> If the employer is a good one, they want the contract to be fair, and if the contract is unfair it's probably by accident.

This is an optimistic, and perhaps productive perspective, but often the legal advice suggests writing the template language in the employer’s favor, knowing it may be negotiable.

The advice is good… read agreements before signing, and negotiate reasonable points.
In the UK there is a statutory minimum of 21 days holiday. If you quit or are fired from a company with an unlimited PTO policy and haven’t yet used your statutory minimum (calculated pro rata) you will be paid for those extra days in your final salary payment.
+1 for PIOUS, and don't sleep on AUDIO.
I really like how the book's website is structured.

Does anyone know what app they used to create the handbook?
It seems that headless use (NAS, VPS) requires a subscription, unfortunately.
Sound like a solid approach. No surprise your documentation helps everyone including yourself, all of us are truly in the same boat. Now the trick is convincing other programmers to do what you do, if they did the world would indeed be a much better place. ;)
An interposer doesn't have to have any breakout pads or pins. It just needs to sit between a board and component. It can serve as a breakout for components that may or may not be compatible with the footprint on the board or may not break anything out at all. I've used one to substitute a much cheaper FPGA in for our very expensive one on the development prototype. We didn't need all the features while sitting on a test bench so we saved ourselves some money until a production unit could be our dev platform. We had a few breakouts on the board of some signals that were difficult to access elsewhere but most just routed right through the interposer. We also developed another interposer that replaced a bunch of deadbug components to prevent rework from occuring due to poorly placed deadbugs. There was enough money to get a little card made but not enough to respin the whole board with the wishlist of other changes we wanted to make.
Especially for people who can't be bothered to develop native applications.
Tk/TCL did this for GUI apps. You could even do it remotely shipping tk commands over a socket. It was very sweet to work with.
Yep, I am one of the electrical scrutineers for ASC. I help inspect all the teams' cars for compliance with the race regulations as well as for general soundness to make sure there aren't any safety concerns.
eating our way to extinction, which I’d on Amazon prime right now, talks about Norway and the farmed fish system there. Seeing what the farmed fish looked like (they are often not healthy) was kind of gross.
one big advantage of browsers is they are accessible to the visually imparted, which currently almost no TUIs are, including this one.
I extended a olive branch, made a self-deprecating post and your response is a metaphorical "ha-ha" finger-pointing, like an eighth-grader?

I guess you were right all along, this conversation should've ended two days ago. You win the xkcd 386 today. Good night and good luck.
Interesting & funny article, but but... my brain keeps focusing on the fact that the pilot's ejection seat did not work => is that usually supposed to happen? In this case the Rafale wasn't even doing anything fancy... .
Note that in many jurisdictions, eternal contract provisions are treated very skeptically. Often you can terminate them after a reasonable time just by writing to the company and saying so: "In the absence of further consideration..."

It is common for state law to make non-compete clauses wholly unenforceable. They put them in anyway, hoping you will be fooled.

New York investment banks are used to paying former employees to do nothing for a year after they leave, before they are allowed to, in effect, compete. Without paying, they would have no grounds to object to anything.

Consult a lawyer first: "Many" is far from "all". It is always better to have all this nailed down up front.
> Who decides how much they value religious liberty compared to lower divorce rates?

> When there is a trade off, who should get to make the decisions about where to strike the balance?

Of course the Supreme Court when concerning anything involving the government making an establishment of any religion.

The US isn't Saudi Arabia. As much as it's any American's right to practice the religion of their choosing, it's not in any religion's right to deny any individual - even in their religion - their individual liberties, or to impose their religion upon a person of another or no religion.
I see no proof of it doing this. It sounds like it you are saving spreadsheets it may have to do with an extension or third-party app you are using. I've never had an issue with files randomly getting deleted on Google Drive and it would be a much bigger issue if this was common.
Isn’t the poster replying on the options for downloading FLAC to a DAP on IOS?

What is the options for Android?

I don’t know of any native android solution that allows for sync to sync desktop or online platform for specifically FLAC files without a backend user/server/client service that is native.

What’s your alternative?

> they just want a convenient quasi-commercial software package that doesn't cost them anything.

Wouldn't I be paying for gdrive and thus expect to get working software? The free tier isn't enough for me and I would have paid if they had a linux client.

Its okay if they don't think linux is worth it, but your argument that i should pay for the software again seems really weird to me.
I can believe that there are some people who don't care if they're tracked, but do you believe that there's anyone who wants to be tracked?

Maybe someone out there somewhere does, but surely such people, who actively want to be tracked, are in the distinctly small minority. In that case, why should the onus be on everyone else to communicate their intent, rather than on the few users affected to communicate their intent?
This is less of a problem with the way that the monetary system operates and more about policy choices made by central banks and politicians after the 2008 financial crisis.

Debt is a promise to return something if value tomorrow for something of value today. Too many promises have been made than will ever be able to be repaid and promises are going to be broken.

Regulators and politicians have three choices on how to deal with broken promises. The first is through bankruptcy courts where a judge allocates losses according to the law. The second is through taxes where politicians take money from one group to honor promises made to another. The third is to drive inflation and break promises by returning dollars that have less value then promised.

This choice that central banks made was the latter by trying to drive up inflation. The side effect of the policy choice however it has tended to favor speculators and the well connected versus other policy paths.

I’m not entirely sure those other paths would have been better. Broken promises tend to be what drives revolutions and the best path is to not make promises that you can’t keep.
Never heard of any of those three words, thanks for the vocab addition.
How can it be acyclic? A phylogenetic tree is a DAG. Organisms sharing DNA? That's definitely a cyclic graph.

If there were Schema.org/Animal and/or schema:AnimalInstance classes, what do you list under a :breed property to indicate that e.g. one parent is breed X and another is breed Y?! That's definitely not a DAG; that looks like a feature clustering dendrogram.

DDR5 supports on-chip ECC but the extra parity bits we typically associate as "ECC" are still as optional as ever, motherboard manufacturers will still not bother to route those signals anyway, and Intel will still demand you give up overclocking and pay more for Xeon in order to use ECC sticks.
They're openly being sold in Canada; I believe end-of-life care research had such positive results that has now lead to it now being given to terminally ill cancer patients to help them come to terms with their situation.

Those obligations are strong and operational in many places where religion isn't the center of civic life.

There is nothing wrong with religion as a framework for teaching people about their social obligations, but it's hardly the only way to achieve that.
Sorin[1] is based in some London repair shop. It is probably viable because he repairs cheap laptops among other things. He also takes mail orders, but I haven't seen him mention any contact info in his videos.

Also in Ontario with unlimited PTO. They have to pay out the minimum provincially required amount of vacation if you don’t take it, so two weeks.
Never really trusted him. Too self-aggrandizing. I’m sure there are a lot of business owners who pay their employees well and don’t feel the need to consume every atom of oxygen letting everyone know how great they are for doing so.
I'd say it didn't make me stay longer. I never thought to myself "wow, they recognize the job I'm doing here so I'm going to stay". BUT, now that I think back on it, I spent 4 years on that one team, which is the longest I've spent on any team in my ~20 year career. There were lots of reasons I stayed though: friendly coworkers (with low turnover too), more autonomy than I've had at any other job (small team where I was only 1 of 3 backend engineers on an entire set of products), learned a ton (this was when cloud was just becoming big, and we migrated everything to Azure).

I've stayed as little as 6 months in a team before moving, but average has been around 1-3 years. I've stayed in companies longer (9 years, 4 years, been at my current place for 2 years), but have moved to different teams internally.

Most of the time it just happens because a company is trying to save money and use a template that works fine for most people.

Most people don’t have a second job / blog / business / side hustle / whatever and don’t care if the company owns everything they make.

I’ve renegotiated the same clause as in the blog multiple times with no issues.

Also had to do the same for a book I wrote taking out of copyright fairy tales and gender swapping them with an algorithm I made. The publishers contract (quite understandably) said the manuscript couldn’t contain any work in the public domain, but the whole concept of the book was to gender swap a text exactly as is, to shine a light on the inequalities in the original. It was a bit of a battle to change it but I think more based on requiring more lawyer time than anyone trying to do anything untoward.

Always ask to change it but always be nice about it. They probably aren’t trying to screw you over!

(But also don’t let anyone screw your over just because they didn’t mean to!)
The One Million Impressions
If there are any German defense folks I'd love the get your take on this. My impression from a brief stint in the tech scene in Berlin is that German institutions and large companies definitely are not great at innovation/startup style work (although like everywhere else they are adopting the buzzwords and building labs) and that Germany really has an aversion to investing in the military and most young people also have no interest in being in or working with the military.
> So plastic gives you more bacteria, and plastic shavings. Stick to wood.

I think that's a little ambitious of a conclusion given that the study you cited didn't (at least as described in the abstract) involve cleaning.

My thick HDPE boards can survive the dishwasher's high temperature cycle without warping, and the HDPE is better for my knives.

I do cut down on washing by using the same cutting board for produce and meats, but raw meat is always the last thing on the board before cleaning.
> Millenials/Gen Z are jealous they never had the opportunity.

Oh they definitely have the opportunity (speaking as a Millenial). If you're in the US, payed attention in school, are median IQ, and worked a bit at programming, you have your choice of $120-200k remote software jobs all over the US where the median home is $400k.
My wife and I don't care about the end result in those situations since the fun has been removed at that point. We just iterate through until we're right or have run through our chances.

Yes and it’s also not confirming to the regulations that made them add the banner in the first place!

I have no idea why anyone chooses to add a banner and then add one that is obviously in violation. Why not then just not add one? Is it because these cases are not yet enforced/fined so they think “let’s put an obnoxious non-compliant one for now, so we keep ad revenue, and only switch to a compliant one if we are actually sanctioned to do so, or the company across the street is fined to oblivion for doing it?”

Anyone here working at a site that did this? Why?
The funding game is a miserable slog, but people are in academia because they want to do their research. If they wanted to use their expertise to obtain a paycheck, there are typically much better opportunities to do so.

I don't regularly play octordle but came to the conclusion that you really want at least 3 start words. Otherwise, you start trying to solve with guesses that aren't globally optimum and run out of guesses.
Yeah but frequently when I tell people they could program if they wanted to they just respond by saying they’re not looking for a grind or whatever. I think some of this is just young people being young people and that attempts to recast it as some huge shift are misguided. Wasn’t it gen X that was supposed to be the slacker generation? This is all low-grade pop sociology.
I have to do X. I don't want to do X but I must finish X. Instead of procrastinating and wasting my entire day on avoiding X, it would be more productive to do X and then do the things I am actually interested in.
Facebook is not selling this data too, afaik. It's too valuable. They are using it to target paid ads. Apple's ads business is still in its infancy, but it will inevitably grow bigger to justify their share price. I beleive, however, that at least their music recommendation system is lavishly fed on their social graph data.
> Crypto proponents have long promoted the technology's potential to fund individuals who are targeted by oppressive regimes, and to allow anonymous and untraceable donations.

Binance requires to know your ID so using Binance to send donations will by definition not be anonymous (anymore?). Most cryptocurrencies are by definition not untraceable either, their entire transaction history is publicly visible. I get that this website has an anti-crypto agenda, but some proofreading would be good.

I think it's very bad if Binance shared this info to build a favorable relationship with Russia by the way, although it seems more likely they were forced to do so?
I guess I realized, on my gentoo machine, it had been years since I had to care about which fb option i set in the kernel, drm/kms only always worked.
To be fair - it’s more about twitter than musk. Twitter just isn’t the best social media platform out there in terms of financial performance, and they also don’t have the ability to take too much debt, making the financing even more challenging bc it can be a pretty risky asset. Still tho, the financing is complex. It will be interesting if Musk (read: Morgan Stanley) can actually pull it off.
For those on Windows I have to plug [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys). In addition to the excellent "Video Conference Mute" it has the best key/shortcut remapper I've used on Windows. Fully open-source, but can be downloaded from the MS Store (gets auto-updated) too.

Right-to-work laws have several consequences. Weakening unions is why companies like them, but invalidating non-compete clauses often comes along. In some places it is actively illegal to write in even an unenforceable non-compete clause. You might be able to get damages after, even when they don't try.

Some states are actively hostile to workers. Some are actively hostile to black workers. Only a local lawyer can tell you how things are.
They removed the ability to install the dedicated chat app and moved it all into the Gmail app. Infuriating. Oh, and it opens all links on the built-in chrome browser instead of respecting your default browser settings. There is no option to change the behavior.
Well thats just the thing, if a gold atom were to replace say a copper atom in the active site of an enzyme, it would behave differently and more than likely in a deleterious manner.
