A few years ago I flirted with the idea of doing a more serious and focused travel-oriented site and went so far as to get a Wordpress site for it but the ambition lasted for about a month.

My site is mostly pretty static. There's a fairly nice templated front-end but the actual content is just on some fairly simple, mostly hand done HTML. My actual blog is on Blogger but a lot more of my content goes in other places these days. That may well change in the future (again).
While this conclusion of the study seems expected and obvious, the study has nonetheless been very valuable, because previously the majority opinion was that such bronze daggers were not tools, but just ornaments for the rich.

The study has included both the analysis of the residues from the surface of the ancient daggers and the making of bronze replicas, which have been tested successfully as butcher knives, so the previously accepted opinion about their purpose has been proven to be wrong.
I might be an outlier in how I learn, but I find that learning happens in multiple passes.

First, I learned a concept in school, and probably forgot it. Later, I heard about it again, and hung the concept on the skeleton of what I remembered from school. Only much later, when I'm actually applying the concept (in my career, during home repair, when doing my son's homework), do I connect the dots and really understand the concept front to back.

When talking to people I'll say I learned the concept {of gearing, of escapements, of the behavior of springs} in school. But it's probably just as accurate to say that exposure to experiences like this site were what truly cemented them in my mind.
Isn't UK controlled by the very problematic far-right since Brexit(every major pre-2016 far right figure had or has an important post in the government)? Wasn't Farage(far righter) who caused issues in the EU up until he lost his position. I mean, I lost track of political scandals in the UK.

It's a strange argument that I don't see how it could have played out had the UK remained.
If anyone gets in a jammed up position, try putting friction very low, and release velocity to -15, to slam some pieces into the stack and jumble them a bit (so they can relax into a full column).

At first I thought only having the bottom row delete when filled was pretty annoying, but actually it might make the game, it really plays up the difference from normal Tetris.

Some variance in the block weight might be nice (2x2 should obviously be heaviest, or you could make the individual... blockletts have different density. Maybe represented by their alpha or brightness or something?)

I'd like the ability to launch a 2x2 block at a 45 degree angle.

The reason why passports aren't getting issued is because of unionised govt employees refusing to return to work (this is one of those weird things you see Europeans discuss a lot online, why has this been linked to Brexit? It is very strange...are you telling me the EU doesn't let in Americans or Brazilians? Odd xenophobia, I thought Europe was over that phase). You can free roaming. Who takes their pet on vacation?

That hasn't happened. Even in food and drink, you would have expected to see an impact...it hasn't happened.

GraphQL is not an ORM. An individual GraphQL server implementation can act as an ORM for a specific use case, but GraphQL can do much more than that.

You should not ever need to implement your own GraphQL server. There are plenty to choose from.

The idea of using Algol 68 was also quite popular in the Soviet academic circles (loosely tied with the military-industrial complex) throughout the 1970-80s. Right before this interest had expired Algol 68 was seen as a direct competitor to Ada. (After that C became all the rage.)

This is fun! Creative idea and nicely made.

https://dro.pm/k.png -- Is this a bug, or are you basically game over once you have a gap in your bottom row and the rest will never line up perfectly enough to disappear?

Edit: resolved it by layering a third full row, then smashing it by luck in the right way to make something drop down to the bottom one. So yes, bottom row always just needs to be filled.

Edit2: Some tricks

- drag a block

- hold down the arrow down button (until the page goes completely blank and you get Aborted(Assertion failed: draw_list->_VtxCurrentIdx < (1 << 16) && "Too many vertices in ImDrawList using 16-bit indices. Read comment above", at: ../extern/include/imgui/imgui.cpp,4269,AddDrawListToDrawData))

- play with the controls on the left of course :)

What do you think negotiation is?

Good negotiators find trades that are valuable for both sides of the table. That's how you negotiate well.
And JSON support in Emacs is not some obscure feature these days, it's heavily relied on by many popular packages.
Efficiency by what measure?

I like this piece. It speaks to an efficiency measure very often overlooked!

The way I see this is everything comes with costs and risks. Good systems manage those.

But they are not entirely eliminated.

And that's the game! Running full capacity is more expensive than some reduced capacity, and what that number is depends on what an organization has incoming.

Low latency responses to high priority events very seriously reduces overall costs. Having some degree of capacity to deal with it makes a ton of sense.

Invariably, someone else sees that as an unused resource.

The argument will be made that Gloria could actually be doing a lot and simply drop it when Tony ends up needing stuff.

And while true, task switches are not free, nor is basic human readiness. For Tony, he values knowing Gloria has command of the details and has good processes she has likely used idle time to conceive.

For Gloria, jumping into action is expected and normal. She is not haggard into a crappy state every day.

Efficiency has different measures.

I have seen similar in manufacturing where any capacity left unused seems like money left on the table. But the truth is people are often employing ideas to make their jobs easier, bring quality up, and the like.

Sometimes parts need rework. Stuff happens. Doing that may well be transparent to others given there is some capacity to get the rework done.
Game theory is great for zero-sum situations. Most negotiations are not.
Which varies based on what question is asked.

Yes, I have. What am I supposed to have noticed? I used to work in equity research, I still follow companies that trade in Europe...have seen no mention of Brexit yet, it just doesn't appear to have been a significant event. If I had something to say about it, I would be able tell you...but it just wasn't a big event.

By "brexit red tape", you should clarify: regulations that weren't brought in and so have had no impact. I don't think anyone would deny that food and drink hasn't been impacted (inevitable, the EU has a strange xenophobia about "foreign" food...that seems to respect arbitrary political demarcations) but even in fresh, it has been surprisingly limited. Companies that failed to prepare suffered...but such is life, companies that failed to prepare for the global rise in freight costs have also suffered.
I’ll attempt to gently point out something that’s important to me: this is also an example of how males discuss things.

It’s very difficult to bring up this topic in a constructive, thoughtful, and impactful way. But I urge you to really sit down and think carefully about it, even for a few minutes.

His tone was the tone I used to use. I still do, sometimes. I have to catch myself, because old habits are hard to break.

The reason I decided to break the habit is because it discourages people like my wife from becoming engineers, let alone founders. She’s one of the most talented hackers I know. And you’d be reasonable to suspect that I’m exaggerating or being nice because she’s a woman, but you’d be mistaken. If you’re a react dev, there’s a very strong probability that if you went head to hews with her in a “who can ship a great looking website faster?” contest, you would lose badly. I didn’t believe it until I saw it more than once.

The world is worse without people like her as engineers. And — most importantly — it’s worth altering our behavior in the default case, not to be nice or to be more inclusive, but because it will make everyone’s lives better in the long run.

Just some food for thought. It didn’t sink in for me until I pointed out she could be paid a lot more if only she’d aggressively negotiate. She mentioned “yeah, I know it’s how men do it.” A little switch flipped in my head. It doesn’t need to be this way; we decide to be this way.

No, that is not what happened.

We were partnering with Stripe on a deal that we originated. They verbally agreed to terms. They then lied about our abilities. So we cut Stripe out, got the deal, and moved on.

The point isn't that competition exists; the point is that Stripe will say one thing and do another. If this is how you live your life, fine, but many people would like to know that Stripe has a history of bad behavior.
Ask HN: How to manage risk when interviewing with foreign companies?
Hey everyone,

recently I have been thinking of how to manage risks (and improve my communication skills) when interviewing with foreign companies.

Is there anything you would recommend to do, improve or look out for?

Risks I see are changes in schedule due to country policies and cross-cultural communication, especially in a corporate setting, which can be challenging. Examples can be the target country closing due to corona on short notice, necessitating a new apartment locally or flight cancellations.

------

Long story motivating this question, as this is born from my frustration around my own naivety:

I wanted to move abroad for (at least) some years for quite some time, and last summer when finishing up my PhD I started interviewing all around the world. I got an offer from a company in Tokyo via relocate.me which was good enough for me at the time. The recruiter was upfront: Due to the pandemic, I should not cancel my job or lease, as the process would take quite some time and that last time it took them ~6 months.

After getting the necessary documents and certificate of eligibility and a lot of back and forth with new required documents by japan's government, I got somewhat lucky: In November the country opened up. The company instructed me to find a flight and book it for January. So I did. I also cancelled my lease as there is a 3 month cancellation period - although I didn't communicate this with the company at the time and I did not book travel insurance for flight cancellations, only a flight that can be changed to another day.

Unfortunately, omicron hit right after this and japan closed down, the communication from the company seemed to slow down and become more one-sided, but finally, I got the info that there was nothing going to change before the end of January - no new date for the flight in sight.

As I didn't want to end up homeless and reduce further losses from missed wages and flight tickets I decided to find a different job and a new apartment, cancel on the company and ask if they'd be willing to refund the ticket anyways. They told me they would look into it and I got in contact with a representative of the company. After some back and forth they stopped responding to me and I asked the recruiter if anything went wrong communication-wise. I was told the representative (who also received and responded to my cancellation email earlier) thought I got a different job and therefore stopped responding and that the managers decided the company was not responsible for my lost 1k$ of the flight, but they'll look over it again.

This is a terrible idea. Mistakes of this magnitude are often the result of multiple people making mistakes - so blaming a specific person is wrong.

Not to mention that this would force a culture of attributing blame to individuals which is toxic, encourages people to hide mistakes and when mistakes happen the first thing everyone would scramble to is to find a scapegoat. This is objectively worse for both the company and the shareholders.

The right approach for the government is to appropriately penalize the companies. The right approach for companies is to put in processes that make sure no single person is even in a position to make mistakes like this.
How are they opposite? There are plenty of graph databases out there using columnar storage, even ones directly compatible with GraphQL Federation. Best of both worlds, so to speak.
For me it was. Python was everything for me - but too slow. It was a pretty quick to convert software to Nim, and I have never looked back. You don't get the whole ecosystem from python, but you get fast code and easy syntax. We even often use Nim instead of small shell scripting.
tRPC has been a lifesaver for us at Ping.gg

Never had such a seamless experience building and deploying “full stack” apps. Multiple classes of bugs just, like, don’t happen now?

Helped build up a lot of the GraphQL tech at twitch, and I still love it, but man do I not miss all the work maintaining the “contract” between front and back. I know we will have to move off tRPC eventually, but I’m hyped at how far it’s taken us already

One person’s stress is another one’s bliss
I think an underappreciated aspect of this phenomenon is loneliness.

Many of the things that suck us in (including HN) have this aspect of being with other people, though they don't actually lead to us feeling actually known or cared about in the same way as our bodies/minds evolved for.

Thus, it's very easy to feel an ambient loneliness, go online where there are other people saying things, sharing things, sending us emails (even if they are not actually "to us" like newsletters) and getting sucked in, then feeling like "where did that time go" because it was not really an investment in any of those top-of-pyramid needs, but instead 'empty calories' of socializing.
I used intellij to debug 3 processes over ssh, it worked seamlessly.
The problem with logging is that you have to know where to log. Debuggers are excellent for exploration, where logging implies you already put the code. If you forget some log you need to do the whole build/deploy dance, with a debugger I just restart. There are even time travel debuggers that allow replays.
This is likely just a me problem, but it would be neat to throw some kind of machine learning behind this. If it could recommend what one should peruse - what one seems to be most interested in + seems to have the most aptitude for.

I have a lot of varied interests and an AI suggestion on what I'd likely have the must fun / success perusing would be neat.
It's not even that. There are several k8s packages on MELPA and they are meant for real use rather than a blog joke.

And this on the other hand ... works only if You somehow like children (and who does not like small psychopats with dictatorial aspirations). For the others (I believe most of people who lives in my housing estate can be counted) I observe that the moments they really treasure are those when their children are is safe distance from them taking care of themselves.
RSS didn't die, though? I still do this and it works fine?

This is optional - but I use Miniflux as a locally hosted RSS server, so that I can keep the feed list etc on there and access it from my phone, desktop etc... using my client of choice.
I know exactly why I do it and it feels impossible to stop. I scroll endlessly to avoid the pain of everything else in life. Doing work, doing chores, doing hobbies, talking to anyone, making decisions even about projects I'm excited to work on, it all causes a small hit of emotional pain. I don't really know where this pain comes from either. Maybe some childhood trauma that I can't even remember? I don't know.

The 2nd part that cements this into what feels like an unbreakable habit is that I feel like I'm constantly learning. It's partly true, I'm constantly learning about things that have even benefited me and my team at work, but in general it's low quality garbage I'm learning about or just the surface of a good/useful topic.

Like the author I have recognized this and done research on it and have no idea how to fix it. I remember finding the word akrasia [1] years ago that has stuck with me since but no help actually getting past it.
