What you don’t seem to understand is that people move to hcol areas for leisure. There is a fundamental reason they are expensive in the first place. Seattle for instance is surrounded by ocean, national parks, mountains. Same thing with the Bay Area. It’s not gonna get cheaper.

Nebraska is not going to magically spring up natural beauty and culture.
I think more people need to be aware of how much they suck as a company
Sometimes you have to tack now. Then you’re lucky if you hear, “tacking!”
need a way to link microblogging with long form blogging and viceversa. but effortlessly, when you make a comment in twitter you should be able to link it to a particular post in long form, or not, but without having to chew up character count or screen space with a long form URL.

and you want to be able to post a long form blog and "collect" micro posts of your and maybe others into it as well.
It's a common format for savedata in the indie game scene. You place the game data within a screenshot of the game. It can make it easier to share state, and be more easily human-identified among other saves.

Hiding one thing inside another doesn't necessarily require secrecy as part of the intent.
Recently booked a 3 month stay in an airbnb in Denver. 5000$ a month which was a big sacrifice but I wanted to stay somewhere where I would be comfortable . I get to the place and it's nothing like the pictures. I tried really hard to evaluate this possibility but still couldn't catch it, they had done some really creative photography. The appliances are disgusting, the place smells like cigarettes and some kind of industrial cleaner that was used to try to cover up the cigarettes.

So I ask the owner If i can leave, with the offer that I won't leave any type of review just so he won't be scared of that outcome. He rejects my offer and basically laughs at me for falling for his listing.

After all this airbnb then takes down my review because "I had tried to manipulate the owner by offering not to leave a review if he let me leave"

Now I understand why places like this have good reviews. It's unbelievably easy to get negative reviews taken down.
Both these views are incorrect.

Software is one of the only professions in the US where non executives have managed to enjoy a sliver of the increase in compensation that executives do in most other sectors of the economy. The spectacular rise in productivity has generally been funneled to the top; except in specialized fields like software, which requires highly specialized skills to be effective.

The “crazy VC money” hypothesis is especially easy to prove wrong since the highest compensation is currently offered by Big Tech (public companies). While people that work on startups do luck out sometimes, there aren’t enough of those unicorns to move the market for most; thats almost exclusively being fueled by competition among Big Tech.
It's always the regulators isn't it?

Never the supplier using ill gotten capital from predatory business practices to lobby or perpetrate regulatory capture.

Nope, it's always those pesky regulators sticking their hands out. Never those Captains of Industry! Paragons of Humanity and Unquestionable Beings of Moral Fiber and Impeccably Ethical Manner!
It's not safe because I could potentially use that information to find a real customer in the DB. It becomes more problematic when working with data from Asian countries where it's possible (even common) for family and/or first names to consist of two or even a single character.

With regards to telemetry I'm aware that it can be disabled. But in my experience that would still result in a veto from the security teams I've worked with.
Yes there were a few programs that used smaller characters to increase the amount of text that could be displayed upon the screen.

The first one that comes to mind is the text-editor "tasword" which allowed 64 characters per line, instead of the default 32:

Right, but when nano first opened for me, I didn't need a help or manual. That's what I mean by it feeling like it was made for humans.
>Are you missing the fundamental fact that animals are sentient creatures with feelings, etc? Do you only refrain from harming other humans because of the potential social and legal consequences attendant thereto?

I'm asking for factual reasoning, not emotional justification.

There's a major difference between what I believe is correct and what is objectively logical, or beneficial to humanity.
I like to buy my companies at about 15x P/E.
I like that he specifically mentioned open floor plans. This is the number one reason why I don't want to return to the office. I kinda do want to go back. But I need my privacy and some quiet. I can't do the open floor plan ever again.
City after city is either severely restricting or eliminating AirBnB entirely. It's golden days are behind it. It's trying new approaches, but nothing unique there.

Why work for AirBnB? You could work for another big tech company that actually has room to grow and produce some solid equity returns.
Yes, every city has a work component and a leisure component. The work component of a given city was largely irreplaceable, while leisure can be substituted by many cities.

If you worked in tech, SF was the pinnacle location to live for your career. If you were in Finance, it was NYC. There was no exception to this. You can live in any of dozens of cities and still get an enjoyable life/leisure. It's not equivalent at all.

So in this new world, an SF home will be worth $4m while an equivalent San Diego one $2m? No way. The disparity in amenities between the two is not big enough to justify that kind of spread, once you remove the work component. The entire reason SF became so expensive was relocations to work for big tech and the concentration of VC money. Not because it was unambiguously the most desirable city in the US or even CA.

So you take away the component that made it expensive to begin with and ??? it goes higher still ???
You think a company with 200k employees should have "IT" come around asking for laptops and passwords as SOP? What could possibly go wrong?
Not about hempcrete specifically, but I can see how you could potentially make a material like this. All these materials used in construction we can assume have an environment with a range of variables they operate in. If this material will never be exposed to high temperatures for example while in a typical operating environment... then maybe you can design the material to be able to biodegrade when heat is applied?

Just think about how even typical composting works where the point is to keep temperatures of the compost pile going in order to aid the process of breaking the material down in an acceptable timeframe.
But it’s the only one that always does.
Don’t take for granted the power of someone to undercut you at every turn. IT thought they weren’t replaceable. But oversea workers on visas and outsourcing to other countries began taking their jobs and pay

With apologies to Barth. Damn, early post-modern fiction was spot on.
I hope that this distro's package management system follows the best practices of The Update Framework[0] or just reimplements a well-engineered existing architecture for distro updates.

Actually the Rust ecosystem is doing some exciting work on supply chain security[1], but it would be good to have something like pacman-bintrans[2] supported from day one of any new distro.

Most iMessage apps, stickers and Apple Watch apps will be gone because of this purge.

Edit: Why downvotes?
There have barely been new apps in these categories. What’s in the store is years old.
> I’ve generally found it much better to mount these into the filesystem and read from there.

Is there a standardized/best practice way to do this? Some convention for file names or format?
It's terrible how Microsoft took Windows and turned it into a piece of "modern" software. The constant drive to change, update, alter, combined with the unquenchable thirst for more data has driven Windows to be a polished turd on top of a solid core. The Windows 10 and 11 kernel designs are amazingly impressive but the "Windows" part of Windows seems to get worse and more inconsistent with every release.

I wish I could run the Windows 7 GUI, with all its settings and visuals, on top of the Windows 11 kernel. I didn't need hamburger menus and giant "touch-friendly" buttons everywhere, I needed better HiDPI support and less kernel-mode drivers that can take down the entire system, like Windows 10 and 11 delivered. Nobody wanted whatever the hell Microsoft Edge is these days, we wanted advancements like modern DirectX and HyperV.

I miss Aero and GUI elements that felt distinct from the background instead of this "modern" flat design. There's still no Linux theme that mimics Aero and I hate that. Now even GNOME is moving away from the old bolded style, going for the ugly flat libadwaita theme instead.
I suspect the links or references to xkcd follow a power law, where a few comics get linked to all the time.

Relatedly, I believe it's rare to see an xkcd linked to above 2000.
If not mentioned or on the resume, explicitly asking whether a candidate has contributed to OSS or has done side projects outside of work is extremely inappropriate. The answer may be, "No, I attend temple nightly after going to occupational therapy for my disability and taking care of my children." Then you will have to document this for HR because you done gone messed up.
Boulder real estate has been a huge winner for a decade already, and had a big in person tech scene for a while.

I agree though about Boise. And all of Florida... etc.

From the article it sounds like they are looking for ways to scale down (i.e small portable units are the target form factor, not a mere demo), and this is where it compares favourably against things like reverse osmosis for efficiency.
Our solar panels are rated to 115mph winds. What are these servo mounts rated to?

Also, installation of the panels currently costs more than panels. They don't say (or I didn't find) how efficient the optimal fixed mount is, but the agent starts at 80%, so assume some fixed position is 80% of optimal. They increase that to 96%, so they reduce the number of solar panels by about 13%. If the installation labor cost increases more than ~26% because of the servo mount, then the servo mount hardware and frame would need to be cheaper than fixed mounts for it to break even. Similarly, the amount of aluminum being consumed by solar panel installions is non-trivial, and the movable frame is likely to increase that.

However, this is still a cool hobby project with a nice writeup.
No, it shouldn't have.

I don't have time to dig it back up right now, but not too long ago there was a fairly detailed discussion, either on or linked from HN, of what the build process and organizational structure around Windows development is actually like, and the astonishing degree of friction it imposes. The tl;dr: as I recall it is that full RC builds via their bespoke hierarchical build scheme take weeks from start to finish, and organizational incentives produce a hoarding of features and areas of responsibility that massively further complicate actually shipping even the smallest thing because of the enormous range of stakeholders whose buy-in you need to get and maintain for even the smallest thing to actually become doable.

I regret I didn't save a link to that discussion, but I believe my summary here is accurate. If so, it's no surprise that nothing new and good seems ever to get done, because how can it? In that kind of environment it's such a Sisyphean misery to do anything that the only things worth doing are those you'll die if you don't.
Tall and/or attractive people have lifelong advantages. There's nothing fair or just about it. We're each dealt a different set of cards, and it's up to us to take advantage of the good cards and make lemonade from the bad ones as best we can.

I.e. don't confuse having an advantage or disadvantage with destiny. We make our own destinies by the choices we make.

If I rented my car to someone and they had taken off my tires and put different ones on and claimed they were testing, I would be pissed off. No, I would not consider it vandalism because words have actual meanings.
Great examples, thanks. Still, the barrier to entry is much higher.
Criticize in private, praise in public.

I broke this one, and it broke a 10 year friendship which took another 5 to heal, and I decided to stop pretending to be a manager. This is a rule of life not to break if you can avoid it. Almost irreparable harm done.
I'd say Einstein is remembered today because his name is ingrained in our pop culture and is effectively an adjective for being a genius. I doubt many people outside of STEM even know who Newton or Aristotle is.

Personally I doubt any name will be remembered a thousand year from now amongst the entire population.
For companies like this that profess to care about their employees (and I believe them)

That's your problem right there - you believe them.
The generalization of anecdotal experience is a flaw in any argumentation. We see it every day everywhere.

You *assume* that Go creates sooner or later problems everywhere it runs. I have another anecdotal data point: At my workplace the most troublesome services are the ones written in Java. The Go services are much easier to manage and run much more reliably. Actually I can't remember of any issues with Go services.

So, you need to take more data points into account to come to a justified verdict. Your generalization of Go leading systematically to huge problems is far away from reality. There's already a huge amount of services written in Go. Networking stuff, backend APIs, CLIs, databases, ... do they all fall apart? No, just the opposite: They are some of the most successful projects in the last years.

Your analysis of the (tiny) problems is correct. Your conclusion that people shouldn't use Go is very wrong.
That's a piece chain, not a rope. In a binary rope your sample sentence might be (("Thi" . "s is a sam") . ("ple sente" . "nce")) and get edited to (("Thi" . ("s is a " . ("silly " . "sam"))) . ("ple sente" . "nce")), except that you'd probably consolidate some of those small leafnodes in practice. (The (A . B) thing is a Lisp notation for a binary tree node whose left child is A and whose right child is B.)

People have always been willing to put up a lot of money, time, and effort to publish and propagate falsehoods. There are bales and warehouses full of this stuff. Dressed up, people still pay full price for it, recycled or newly made up.

It is much cheaper to publish now, so there is more of it being produced than ever before. Quality has not increased.

Mostly internet advertisers pay for production and propagation, nowadays.
I personally will never buy any car from a company who does that. That dystopian future is not the one I want and I’m never engaging with any company who does it.

People ask me for my advice on cats often. I’d never recommend one from a company who does it.
No I'm not saying that.

The entropy of the system was always 0 bits. Knowledge is irrelevant.

If the urn actually contained nothing and would materialize a black or a white ball randomly then this can occur with or without your knowledge. When the ball materializes and nothing more can be done THEN the entropy has changed. Because there's no more possible microstates.

You not having knowledge about microstates DOES NOT change available microstates. You seem to think that if you don't know about something, anything goes.

You're really arguing abstract philosophy. Did a tree in the forest fall if no one was around to see it? Yes it did dude. Your knowledge of it has nothing to do with whether it fell. Same with entropy. And if you deny the fact that a tree in the forest never fell, then you're the one going off onto a pedantic tangent.
I think you've mistakenly scoped my point to solely "the dating game". Physical discrimination in that scope if of course, completely understandable, and IMO completely okay.

However, it's been shown repeatedly that "fuckability" results in better treatment in most other aspects of one's life, including things like job opportunities, career progression, and general treatment in non-romantic social interactions. All of these are scopes that modern society hyperfocuses on when race or gender are involved. That's the hypocritical aspect of it.
Timeline of @OlafScholz's many lies:

1) At the end of February Germany's defense industry sends Scholz a long list of all available weapons.

2) Scholz doesn't share the list with Ukraine.

3) Scholz says that there are no more weapons left in Germany to give to Ukraine.

4) Germany's defense industry leaks the list to Ukraine's ambassador.

5) Scholz says that the weapons on the list don't work.

6) The defense industry denies this and leaks the list to the press.

7) Scholz states Ukrainians can't master the weapons in the available time.

8) German defense experts tell the German press that Ukrainians can master the weapons in 2-3 weeks.

9) Scholz says the weapons are needed by NATO and NATO must approve their transfer.

10) NATO officials and German generals deny this.

11) Scholz says no other NATO/EU ally is delivering heavy weapons to Ukraine.

12) The US, UK, Australia, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Romania, Turkey, Italy, Finland, Denmark, Romania, Netherlands, etc. publish the lists of heavy weapon they deliver to Ukraine.

13) Under pressure Scholz announces €2 billion for Ukraine's military.

14) German parliamentarians find out that it's really just €1 billion, which won't be available for another 2-3 months, and then Scholz can veto or delay indefinitely every item Ukraine wants to buy.

15) The US, France, Poland, Romania, Japan, the UK and Italy, plus the heads of EU and NATO spend an afternoon trying to talk sense into Scholz.

16) Scholz makes a statement and says Ukraine can have the €1 billion now and order whatever it wants from the list.

17) Ukraine's ambassador says that Scholz removed all the items Ukraine actually wants from the list before giving it to Ukraine and what remains on the list is just a fraction of the €1 billion.

18) Scholz claims that there is no ammunition anymore for the Leopard tanks and Marder infantry fighting vehicles.

19) Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Egypt, the US, Japan, South Korea, Israel, Taiwan, Egypt respectively France are saying the produce these ammo types.

20) Scholz says countries delivering armored vehicles to Ukraine will be attacked by russia with nuclear weapons.

21) The US, UK, Australia, France, Poland, Spain, Italy, Romania, Slovakia, Czechia, Netherlands, Denmark all report they were not hit by nuclear weapons.
Are you playing it on steam? Stuff works pretty well overall for me with it and Proton, some games work better with Proton GE, which is easy to install, for non steam stuff I've been using Lutris

Your second paragraph sounds like the same thing I meant, essentially "specialization and skill will continue to be required as software continues to be highly influential all over the place."

For the latter, I think stuff like Facebook's whole "metaverse" money-loser, Google's random-other-non-ads-project stuff, a bunch of Netflix efforts beyond "just show the damn video," would be at risk in a major recession. Couple that with an implosion of a bunch of "growth" companies and it would hardly surprise me to see hiring get a lot easier for the money-making Big Tech projects.

(I don't actually believe that, I lean to the former, but I think it's a much more credible idea than you do. I've had a lot of coworkers the last decade who've never worked at a profitable company but passed FANG-style interviews and were making near-FANG money.)

It always annoyed me that they couldn't even be honest and say it was save rent, they had to make it seem like open floor plan was a positive thing because it "increases collaboration"

It's not enough you want to be cheap but you want to make it seem like you're doing it for our benefit.

Remote work isn't really changing the international hiring situation. Companies were previously hiring internationally, even before "remote" was a thing. That being said, it still takes work and logistics to setup subsidiaries in other companies. Companies like remote.com are making that portion easier - that does change the calculus a little bit.
ZK deviates far further from Total Annihilation, while BAR is much more of a successor.

2 factions with tiered factories instead of the "flat" balancing, and instead of using the local energy grid for Overdrive you build Metal Makers that convert energy to metal for you.
Easy solution would be to reject inventions that narrow down their claim in a way that crosses two layers in the OSI stack. That would instantly kill all claims of doing X…on a computer, or doing X…wirelessly.

Another way to put it is that integration should not be patentable. Everybody knows images can be serialized to a bitstream and that bitstreams can be sent wirelessly, each on their own is novel, but combining them no. Otherwise I could patent delivery of pepperoni pizza on a electric scooter, even if someone else patented pizzas and scooters already.
>You are at new place, you going to work like 4-6 hours instead of 8-9 hours.

I remember some studies mentioning that the real productive time in a daily 8 hr shiFt was 4-6 hours. If that's so, then it's completely doable.

Hopefully someone has a fresh link to one of those studies.

I don't believe it, honestly. I would gamble that it's because helping Linux grow doesn't financially benefit them, now or in the future. And that, to me at least, feels quite a bit more likely from Apple.
