Difference being I get to pick in one and in the other I have no choice. Also the medical aid or insurance makes a profit, yet more capitalism.

Yeah, and it's really interesting how the relative ease/difficulty of FFI shapes an ecosystem. On one extreme, you have Go which has a lot of purity, but on the other you have Python where FFI is so easy that the maintainers can't really change anything including optimizations without breaking compatibility which means pure Python packages are relatively slow driving more reliance on FFI. It also means the package management tooling has to solve for the universe of C packages to be worthwhile, which drives a whole bunch of other problems. A decade ago, if you had asked me whether easy FFI was a good thing or a bad thing, I would have unequivocally said "a good thing". That might've been the correct answer if the lingua franca had a standard concept of reproducible builds.
I mean I spent quite a few words talking about how there's a happy optimum where beyond that you start to get too much magic and code gets too terse and unreadable.

You just did prove my point though which is that this is the only argument that Go programmers consider, and they blindly reject that adding more lines of code can harm readability.
I have a 7yo and I told him there's a very simple rule: he needs to learn an instrument cause it's good for focus, as a practice for doing work and it ends up being fun once you stick to it. He can pick the instrument, or change it if he doesn't like what he picked, but he can't do nothing, that's not an option.

He oscillates from finding it a chore to being really proud of his achievements (he's a drummer for now). It's kinda funny sometimes he does both in the same day.

Overall I'm comfortable with it being mandatory, as a parent my job is to raise him to be a well functioning and happy adult, not to make him happy right here and now, and he gets it.
There is probably a market for pocket drone that can carry iPhone and take selfie just like this.
"Each rechargeable battery holds 5-8 flights using the default flight modes." [1]

[1] https://pixy.com/shop

I believe each default flight time would be measured in seconds, so it's understandable that they are recommending their "Dual Battery Charger" (Two Pixy rechargeable batteries with USB-C charging station).

They appear to have deliberately made the batteries as easy as possible to swap out, for this reason (based on the second half of the Learn - "How to Charge your Pixy" video: https://videos.ctfassets.net/svn43w404u4n/6RMiSJPQrtPdQdCoO5... )

Well, I've lived through both the housing recessions of the mid 2000's, a regional downturn in the mid 2010s (ended up moving to California!) and the pandemic "boom" that a lot of tech companies have seen wasn't true for every company in the sector, so I lived through most recently a COVID-19 related downturn in 2020.

In my experience doors closed on me because I didn't hit that "checkmark". In fact I remember interviewing at a company (who's name I don't 100% remember, I interviewed a lot in the 2010s and I don't want to call out a company by mistake) and they somehow missed that I didn't have my degree yet and halted the entire interview process after the 2nd round because HR couldn't justify deviating from their norms. I also was told by many recruiters at that time that it was the only barrier to me getting into their hiring pipelines. I eventually caught a break and wound up at Apple, but its because I didn't get hired through traditional means (right place, right time).

This has changed as the labor pool tightened, and by 2020 I wasn't in the same position anymore regardless, but those first two situations have always stuck in my mind about how hard it is to get hired when automated systems gate keep things. I since learned alot about how to work around them (without directly hurting your prospects) and through experience know alot more about networking (though I'm no expert), so I'm a little better insulated, but it was much harder for me than it was for my peers who all got their CS degrees early in their careers comparatively.

Ironically, through pure grit, luck (can't underestimate luck to be honest) and my own drive I've ended up being very successful, but it took alot more work than it would have otherwise, I think. I believe truly I would have reached this point earlier in my career (I'm a Staff Engineer now at a mid sized startup in Silicon Valley) and been better off for it.

Everyone is allowed to have their opinion, but this article is full of opinions based on incorrect information, such as that hospitals in May 2020 were empty, or that the vaccines did not work. I would flag it if I could because I cannot conceive of a useful discussion forming around it, and it doesn't seem like the kind of thing we need more of on HN.
When you file your CA tax return, then they will see that there is no money to tax. Without that filing, how would they know?
Hiring a lawyer to draft (or really just pull from a file) employment agreements is also going to be dirt cheap. And they'll tell the employer, by the way, they'll have to pay a small annual fee to the state, too.

Those other examples fall under the intersection of trendy, useful across a spectrum of scenarios, widely adopted, and in hindsight changed the face of technology itself.

> They don’t get a lot of financial breaks and what they do get from it is based off efficiency of their models, not some “sweetheart” deal.

What tax breaks does Disney get? They pay Orange and Osceola property tax, despite receiving no services or infrastructure support from the county (except those that they contract for). Florida law requires that all property taxes be levied equally, so Disney pays the same rate as everyone else in the counties.

The RCID levies additional property taxes on RCID residents (almost all Disney), to pay for the infrastructure it provides to the district. Those amount to ~2-3 times more than the county taxes, and 3 times more than state law would allow the county to charge outside of an independent special district.

The ability for the RCID to charge taxes is a result of its status as an "independent" special district, meaning that it has ad valorem taxation rights (the ability to levy taxes on the residents of it's property beyond state and county taxes). Florida state law requires that any special district that is not completely encompassed with a single municipal boundary be chartered as an independent special district. Since Disney's property spans both Orange and Osceola counties, it is required to be an independent special district. Disney could have requested independent special district status, but in this case it was moot.
Killing the chickens was required of them by the government (as it has over here in Europe for several locations, for the same reason). But they decided to do it in the cheapest way possible, because shutting down the environmental control costs nothing as opposed to hiring an external provider to do it in a more animal friendly way. They could have made a more animal friendly but less profitable choice.

I think the slightly more animal friendly way is to pump the building full of CO or CO2.

One argument, if the vulnerabilities don't affect you for whatever reason, it probably doesn't matter much. Lots of vulns these days have a fair load of caveats attached, and if they don't apply, one could argue upgrading is not required.

Note: I'm not taking a stance on if I agree or not with this argument.
> They stated what their goals are: stop Ucraine from joining NATO and obtaining the independence for Donbass region.

They've stated a whole lot of things changing focus among them over time, not just those two (denazification of Ukraine, demilitarization of Ukraine, a state union between Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia, restoration of historical Russia and reversals of territory alienated from Russia by Soviet leaders and the dissolution of the Soviet Union which was itself an embodiment, though misled, of Russia, etc., all have come from either government or state media sources.)

I said those I know.

Mine was frozen once over a clerical error. I have also had mine frozen a number of times for trying to make medium sized cash withdrawals when traveling. This is a common anti fraud tactic but it is very annoying when I can not spend my own money. I do not carry a phone and even if I did waiting on hold with a bank in front of an ATM in a random country sucks.

Several people I know, including family, have suffered identity theft and had accounts drained that way. I know someone else who had an account frozen due to a false accusation.

Someone I know had theirs drained with no warning due to a decade old forgotten debtor getting a court order. I know others who have had accounts frozen or dismissed because the bank did not like the nature of their business. They commonly do this for legal cannibis, adult, gambling, or crypto asset business they consider a brand risk.

In short banks have a lot of nasty edge cases I like to avoid.
I worry that the Henry George Theorem suggests a government can spend money in order to tax more of it. It potentially solves the issue of governments not having enough revenue, since arguably they can tune unimproved land values upwards to the levels they need. Of course it also introduces the problem of governments tuning unimproved land values to the level they need. Tax revenues have grown from $3.32 trillion in 2017 to $4.05 trillion in 2021. That's nearly 22% growth in a four year window.

I'd be very concerned about governments undertaking the necessary actions to drive land value taxes up by 22% over a four-year window. I think such policies would lead to many people being forced to vacate their land.

Well we do Java for the slow path and fpga for the fast path. C++ for the algo decisions, but even when we do java we jni everything that would be slower than C++. Nobody's laughing, everyone is just profiling and fitting constraints, so far Java worked, we ll switch if we must...

Problem with FPGA is that it s pointless to try to correct client mistakes or validate exchange regulation with it, so it's only for upstreams who have the whole chain clean, it's a slow transition.
The real takeaway is that the outside factors are going to weigh much more than interest rates vs buy vs etc.

If you buy during amazingly low rates, you'll feel happy when the rates shoot up (and maybe sad if you look at Zillow, but if you're not moving who cares?) - and if you buy during rising rates you'll be glad you got in when you did, and if you buy at the peak, well, you can refinance later.

How was your experience with the PineBook Pro?

I've been experimenting with ARM systems for the last year or so — changing how I compute to fit into the tighter limits of the SBCs etc. The governor settings and disk IO seem to be the most important points.

Note your quote from the author was talking about collaboration without requiring trust in collaborators not a system without requiring trust in the system. 51% attacks are the closest to what the author was actually talking about but that has more to do with trusting and accepting how the system (and as you say, somewhat reality) works than any particular trust in a collaborator.

That said it still doesn't make the list of cases this capability is needed any longer.
A couple of years ago, there used to be a mastodon instance called "Inditoot" that started to gain traction with an Indian userbase. The instance moderator's approach to moderating content was basically that as long as a post doesn't go against the law, it was ok to keep. With twitter being seen as biased to the left, the instance attracted a significant crowd that was seen as right-leaning.

At some point, users of the mastodon.social instance where most of the left-leaning crowd gathered, got their admin to preemptively silence the inditoot instance on mastodon.social[1]. This meant that all toots from the inditoot instance were effectively blocked on mastodon.social, and the two sides were operating in separate bubbles.

A few months later, the Indian userbase on both mastodon.social and inditoot was dead, and everyone was back on twitter, fighting and clawing and tearing at each other.

Moral: If you remove the communication links between those nice round planets shown in the animation, they become drab and dreary, and not worth having at all, and you're back to twitter. If you keep the links, then there's no difference between federated instances and twitter, and you're back to being twitter anyway.

I was being cute with a turn of phrase.

A large majority of trendy new technologies in the software industry are driven by ephemeral industry buzz.

It takes time for us to collectively separate the wheat from the chaff. In the meantime it's generally wise to stick with what has worked in the past.
This will be a very underappreciated observation.
Sorry, to be clear I wasn't trying to address/rebut/debate your skill, but rather just start from a presumption. Presuming what you're saying is true.

It really doesn't matter to me if it's true about you or not, we can still discuss the issue of designing for talent several standard deviations above the mean vs one that falls within, say, [0-1] std deviation above the mean.
If you’re a two person start up, you only need to worry about maybe 2 states, not 50. This page was all they needed to read: https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/business/doing-business-in-calif.... Doesn’t seem arcane to me. The 40+ pages is described as an annual tax return. I don’t know what to say to someone who wants to have a SaaS business but can’t get 40+ pages filled out annually.
Kind of funny that 60 days is too long for a product that lasts 30 years.

My guess is local banks and credit unions are the most likely source. They keep the loans on their portfolio instead of selling them like the mortgage companies.
Really great that you shared all that data and even added additional graphs, thanks for the inspiration. I think there were some recommendations that floated around that suggested we should be at 2 metric tonnes per person by 2050 to be able to maintain +2 C°.

I've only been doing Node for about a year now, and already I've been bit by gotchas.

Obviously all languages have their warts, and I can compensate. Using Typescript with it, I've actually been quite productive. It's higher level of expressiveness relative to Java is also a breath of fresh air.

But some languages definitely have more warts than others, and Javascript/Node is on the higher end of that distribution. All things being equal I would much rather work in a language with fewer warts.

> There is another, longer-term cost of nuclear fear. Germany has pledged to sharply reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to help slow global warming; it built thousands of wind turbines and solar arrays to wean itself off fossil fuels. But claiming to be serious about fighting climate change while powering down nuclear power plants is a bit like leaping into the ring to fight Tyson Fury without boxing gloves on. Talk as tough as you like, but people might wonder whether you’re serious about winning.

That's a seriously strange metaphor.

I guess they're trying for the "renewables don't work and climate change is a hoax to usher in communism" crowd that love this "if climate change was real they'd build nuclear" gotcha line but not wanting to actually write that down plainly because it would make them look both insane and pro fossil fuels. So they went with something vague and nonsensicle instead.
TIL that photopea is not "Photo Pea"
Sure, I'll bite. I like your thrust and conclusion, even if I don't agree with how you got there.

I've worked in the 3D scanning world for almost a decade, so my bias is really just surprise that Google produced outcomes that were far below the quality I hoped for and anticipated, given how great so many other conceptually similar (and also free) assets are.

Here's the thing: regardless of the purity and nobility of the goal or the quality of their academic paper, at the end of the day, the assets are either great or they are not. I believe that it's limiting to assign extra quality marks to something just because the folks who made it are "doing it right" in an academic context.

I respect folks who volunteer to do beach cleanups, too. It's absolutely positive, from the immediate impact, the educational perspective, getting folks involved. It's great exercise! But it's also tragically short-term, and if they wrote an academic white paper about how they picked up garbage after the fact, it wouldn't change the fundamentals.

If you saw an Arxiv paper on a particular 30 volunteer beach cleanup on one Saturday, you might be forgiven for wondering why they wrote it up as an academic paper, too.
No safeguard is foolproof, including protections against 51% attacks. That doesn't make the precautions pointless though. It's like saying locks are useless because they can be picked.
> because you aren't staring into a bright light source that refreshes 60 times a second

LCDs update 60 times per second (or more… 120 Hz displays are becoming more common) but they don't flicker the way CRTs used to, so there's no reason to think this would contribute to eye strain. Brightness could be an issue but you can just lower the brightness of the screen to match the surroundings.

As I see it the advantages of e-ink displays lie mainly in their visibility in direct sunlight and minimal idle power consumption.
