>Accelerate the destruction of the fish ecosystem? It's already being run at capacity, ditching quotas will give you more in year 1 and a total disaster in subsequent years. Most sharks are endangered species; which do you want to make extinct for a political point?

I know the great lakes very well. We are maybe around 5% capacity there, possibly far less. I believe your confusion might be that you misunderstood when I said massive seeding effort.

Oceans are less than 1% capacity. I couldn't even fathom to tell you how many zeros are in that small fraction of 1 percent.

In terms of sharks, great whites, tigers, bulls, hammerheads. All are 'vulnerable' or less but certainly not endangered. Yes there's a handful of endangered shark species but none of those would be your typically targeted types.
Another nail in the coffin for New Relic. And it might well be the last for me. I've used NR for close to 15 years and have been very disapointed with where they've been moving the last 5 orso.

Removal of development mode & support. The 'improved' price model. Their new UI is buggy as hell and they refuse to fix it. Every month orso you get a new interface that is objectively worse then what it is supposed to replace. Really helpful when shit is on fire and you need to figure out what is going on.

But. It is still very useful too me & finding an alternative is a time investment I haven't been able to make so far. So, for now, we'll continue to take it and deal with their bullshit as it comes. But as soon as I have some time to look for alternatives I'm done
On one side you cherry pick the failures of a system in use, and on the other you tout the benefits of something that could be. Do you see why this is not a fair comparison?

Speaking of cherry picking, the hyperinflation events that you mention happened a few times over centuries, but they happen on a quarterly basis in cryptoland. And somehow that makes crypto better?

How does "everyone" benefit from a massively unstable currency? Who actually desires money that can double and halve in value overnight, and why?
Where I live, many (perhaps even majority of) buildings have apartments that are rented as short-term tourist rentals, and I've lived in many such buildings. I never perceived any issues with short term guests.
Many young European countries reliant on tourism, like Croatia, introduced digital nomad/remote working visas mid-COVID to encourage people to stimulate their local economies when tourism suffered the most.

I absolutely will. I’ve looked at UX more generally as a possible career alternative and believe I would be good at it. Can you speak at all to the career prospects/lifestyle of UXR?
I often see this reaction when people suggests that you should care too much about your past decisions since you can't ever imagine control everything.

It's about _past_ decisions, nobody says you shouldn't care about doing the best for you in the present. You can't be sure if your decisions are the best, but you surely have to avoid the bad one if you can !

There was a total conversion mod to Overgrowth called "Dark Forest" which inspired something called "Undergrowth"; a really buggy but oddly satisfying roguelike. It was a little glimpse into what might have been possible.
Phrasing advice as a "question" has always come across as patronizing to me. Someone is giving advice, they know they are giving advice, but they seem to think that rewording it into a question makes it more acceptable to the receiver?
• Criticize in private, praise in public.

I’ve always lived by this one.

Bridgewater corporation takes the opposite of this approach and is lauded for it. The idea is that you get better results by saying what you think honestly but respectfully.

Maybe it works there, but I’ve worked with ex Bridgewater people and they’re toxic. Evidently it’s very hard to develop the social skills to give public criticism in a way that doesn’t erode trust. Such feedback often comes across as callous and sometimes disrespectful.

Withholding approval/praise in public; tentativeness, etc., will convey the message to socially perceptive folks, while not conveying to others that you support bad plans/designs/ideas.

Not everyone is socially perceptive, and even for those who are, it’s always good to follow up in private where you can convey your concerns while being respectful- in a 1:1 you can take the time needed to ensure that you get across that you’re concerned with the idea, not the person; you often don’t have the time for that in meetings and besides even if you’re 100% right the other person could lose “face” with others. Yes maybe they already did with their statements, but you don’t need to compound it.

Also the other effort is cohesion. If you are part of a team they WILL lose trust in you quickly if you frequently side with “others” (against your team) in meetings, regardless of whether you’re correct.

Closely related is “don’t try to always win” against someone who you need a long term relationship with. If you always win, you’re in a relationship with a loser. Or you’re an asshole. Or both.

Here in a coastal south spain city, the rule is pretty much this:

weekly short term rental price in summer = monthly rental price for long term resident.

So if you rent for 12 weeks between late may and end of september you already make as much money than having a rental resident, and can still rent more expensively than a short term resident. For example owners typically rent a lot to tourists during the hottest months and in autumn/winter/fall a lot of digital nomad are filling the gap. They also usually have done the math and can swallow the higher rent than a local would.

Having said that, I don't want to be an owner here. Administration is horrible but basically everyone you will meet are either lazy or want to defraud you in some way and they have absolutely no sense of quality work. A friend of mine is renovating a small house all by himself because he got fed up by the locals. Maybe the end result won't be , but here the pros won't give you professionnal quality job anyway so at least he won't feel screwed.
Right. Nothing closes, all that happens it that noone'll call you to say "you're eligible for … now" in the next months. "Halt its Covid vaccination" is rather misleading as a headline.

Honestly I'm surprised it's acceptable for resumes presented to me as a hiring manager to even have names on them, let alone photos. Humans are hardwired to make snap judgements about people based on a first visual impression, and a photo at the top of a resume will massively color the rest of your assessment.
Lower birth rates initially boost economies because it increases the percentage of the working age population which can drive a virtuous cycle in terms of savings and investment. In economics this is called the demographic dividend which if well managed can lift countries out of economic poverty.

Eventually though the benefit disappears as the demographic pyramid becomes a pipe and the share of working population shrinks again. The US demographic dividend was the era of the baby boomers who were a large cohort but had relatively few children.
> It’s less of a strawman than it was a simple example of where discriminating among multiple candidates is okay.

Why add such an example here? No one has claimed that discriminating among multiple candidates is never okay.

I'm simply challenging the idea that the law is a useful guide as to whether discrimination is ok.

I like a phrase you used. Decisions should be based on "judgment (not pre-judgment)".
> Anything you say before the word “but” does not count.

Not sure I agree with this one at all. It irks me a lot when caveats I put in arguments are ignored, and the other party assumes that I don't really mean them. This happens a lot (even on HN, see the responses to my comments at [1] and [2]), and causes a lot of straw-man arguments and talking past each other.

Caveats are important and should not be ignored and should be evaluated on their own merits, because they could be an intrinsic part of the argument being made.

not trying to play doctor here, but a quick skim through the wikipedia article shows a high risk for developing neurological issues, infection, and blood related ailments

I imagine, and I hope someone with more knowledge can add on or correct me, that medicinal professionals are generally reluctant to use ECMO for extended periods due to the aforementioned issues. I personally know if my odds of waking up brain dead from a procedure were 50-50%, I wouldn't take that risk. so I wonder if doctors in this case saw a corresponding decrease in such risks?

This comment makes no sense at all, every open source non-profit I've ever seen has made social outreach programs their main goal. There's nothing else to spend the funding on. They can't spend a ton of money on focus groups specifically because it's not a multi-billion tech giant and these foundations legally can't be making decisions based on how to make some product profitable. You need to ask a company to do that. These foundations have to make decisions based on their stated mission which is almost always solving a social issue. So in that sense the "primary product" of the foundation is really the community around the project, it actually can't be the project itself.

If you want to start another organization that only does user focus groups then by all means do it, but otherwise you're barking up the wrong tree. The designers (not the foundation) already do user studies regularly anyway, the reason they don't do full focus groups all the time is because it gets expensive real fast.
Why is unstructured control-flow better for applying algorithms than structured control flow? That seems counter-intuitive to me.

With structured control-flow I can do things like reason about the level of nesting of the loop that I'm in. I can peel a loop iteration by literally saying 'take this loop here - copy the body of it out'.

For context here's the kind of structure we use https://chrisseaton.com/truffleruby/basic-graal-graphs/#loop....
Amazing forces indeed, but I am curious:

>> The crew all wear flame-resistant gear to protect themselves from the immense heat

Having bootstrapped my own app I can't fathom how some other apps with millions of VC money will every turn a profit.

Waterfall design and big ball of mud architecture.

It helps that it is not particularly ground breaking (there was Hubble) nor particularly logistically complex (there's a helicopter on Mars) and there's a large pile of money ($10 billion or so) and that the people working on it tend to be sharp ("rocket scientists").

None of which is to say it is not an impressive endeavor. Just that it is incremental and built on top of a lot of engineering failures.
It's interesting that the author seems to have independently invented literate programming. At any rate, that page describes a home-grown literate programming system without mentioning the term "literate programming".
Reminds me of that Tao of Programming koan (if I remember it rightly) that went something like:

The novice, in his frustration, struck the side of his computer. The master walked over and asked what he was doing. The novice exclaimed, "my computer is not working and I do not know why!" The master admonished him, saying "you cannot solve the problem by striking the computer without knowing what is wrong." Then the master struck the side of the computer, and it worked flawlessly.

(I love this one because one time I was doing a gig and my computer refused to boot. Suspecting that the vibration from being lugged into the car and taken for a long drive had unseated something slightly, I gave it a sharp smack and power cycled it, and it started up fine.)
I see what you did there. And Swift, the very language the author is comparing to, has this functionality.
If the angle of the plane and the wing aren't the same and fixed relative to each other, you're probably already in thoroughly deep shit.

Many others have chimed in, but this is very important to highlight. Meeting with clients, going to conference, having important meetings, these are things we consider work. However, from the eyes of the law, these are temporary things that need to be done in person for business that has already occurred. That is, if you come to a conference, meet a potential client, and then set up a sales meeting before you leave, you have conducted new business in the US and violated your B1 visa. See [1] for the actual exemptions. Technically, if you check your email while on B1, this could be construed that you are conducting unauthorized business in the US. Of course, these laws never foresaw technological progress and so the world governments look the other way because they do not know how/what to enforce.

I'm going to put it here as this is what an immigration person put it to me, just ask yourself "where are my feet?" That is the country/entity you should be paying your taxes to by default unless there is an explicit reciprocity agreement that may apply to you. So, if you're traveling Europe as an American while working remotely, you are violating tax law in every single country. From the law's point of view, there is no difference than as if you had contracted out your work to someone in each one of those countries. Don't worry, no one is going to come after you for those 10 hours but just know you are intentionally (or grossly negligent) making use of the inaction of enforcement.

I think what I'm describing might fit into the "generous, considerate" part of the definition you cite.

The senses I associate with the two words are probably more connotations than denotations, though.
From my comment farther below:

> If your app can’t interface directly w/k8s, but it can read secrets from a file, you can use a small init program to fetch the k8s secret and write it to a named pipe. This is advantageous compared to mounting as a volume, because the pipe disappears after both ends close their connection to it.

Berlin is not really as conservative as the rest of Germany, especially that so many foreigners live there which makes it seem so much more progresive and is not representative for the whole ~80 million people country but is more of an outlier (even Germans will tell you that Berlin isn't very 'German'). If you go to smaller cities the situation is vastly different.

In Austria I only see cash being exchanged at the supermarket and when I see someone paying by card or, God forbid, phone or watch, it's most likely a foreigner form another country where cash payments are not popular rather than a local who went cashless.
true. but, it could also mean they are demonstrating traits that make them a more desirable candidate!

for example, if they have recently made the decision to stop smoking cigarettes, thereby making a positive change in their lifestyle and health, this shows strength of character. it also demonstrates their ability to question past poor decisions rather than give in to the sunk cost fallacy, and then take steps to correct them. and of course, it also tends to make you put on weight [0] ... although not much more that 10 lb or 5 kg it seems, so interviewer beware, i guess ;)

Hey. This is interesting for me.
I now have a 6 kWh panel that are on grid for reverse metering.

Then I replaced the inverter with phocos one so that it will work without batteries in off grid mode.

I have thought quite a bit about water batteries, I want to install 200-400 Litre water solar heater so that my electric energy is reduced even more.

No batteries yet because they cost a fortune.

My idea was to heat say 500 Litre water tank in my basement with solar water + solar electric and pass that water through the central heating piping through he home but installer tells me the heat won't be there in this "water battery".
Yeah, when none of the code is tight inner loops, all of it is. Not much to do then but reimplement your program in a more efficient language... then call it from a Python script. ;)

Acceptable to the company. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's acceptable to you, especially if penalties would primarily fall on you for illegally claiming the wrong immigration status.

I've been very happy with SEB and have found their customer service pretty great, even with pretty complex requests.

I don't know if that really match but I have an anecdote about (absence of) punishment as a teenager.

As a teenager, on one of my first parties involving alcohol, my father said something like this :
"Try not to drink a lot, but if you do and feel like you want to come back home, call us and we'll get you home, we will not reprimand you whatever would happen. Don't ride one of your friends car, just call us."

Well, contrary to all my friends who acted like their parents should not know they would drink alcohol, I had a great party with moderately high alcohol consumption. "Fun fact" is that I had to call the emergency services for someone who has had an ethyl coma.

Interestingly, and I think it's correlated, I continued to drink alcohol at parties but my first real hangover was more than 5 or 6 years after, on a place and with people I felt safe with.

_All_ of my friends who were taught that they'll be reprimanded if they drank a lot started to drink a lot secretly at every parties. Most of them aren't even my friends anymore.
pretty much all search engines do this to provide location based results, nobody stops you from Denying such request, but it seems quite stupid to pick up on one service when many other services do the same thing

edit: my bad, seems major search engines don't ask for location, but I remember seeing this request way too often on many sites to consider it something unusual to complain about specifically at this site
