But automation gets more efficient over time. Twenty years ago, an automaton that could drive you around city streets required a whole university research lab and barely worked. Today, it's very realistically possible. Twenty years from now, it's hard to imagine it being more expensive than a taxi driver. Twenty years ago, we had drip coffee makers and early Keurig machines. Today, we have latte art printers. Twenty years from now, vending machines that produce Instagram-worthy iced lattes with whipped cream and caramel drizzles will likely be commonplace.

If your minimum wage plan is taking automation into account, your plan would have to be to slowly lower minimum wage over time so that, as robots get more efficient, humans are always paid a little less than them. That would be a coherent policy - for a few years. But eventually that leaves you with a minimum wage under a penny. What's your plan then?
If you are going to mention Odin, Jai, and Go then you should mention Vlang too (https://vlang.io/) because it's in that category.
To add extra spice to their already broken organisation, Australia Post acquired StarTrack for parcel delivery.

I witnessed an operator in the distribution centre wait a solid thirty minutes for a key lookup in their database. I timed it with my phone. I had time to get get lunch and come back.

A key lookup. Literally the consignment number.

I grilled him a bit on the details, and it turns out that all single-row lookups take that much time. Name, phone number, or any other details all take about half an hour to produce a result.

There are parcel delivery services that can deliver door-to-door faster than their IT systems can look up a record.

It's a flabbergasting level of incompetence, but I'm told it's been like that for years, and that they were told not to fix it because during the merger they were to "put tools down" and not spend time and money on anything that Australia Post will fix anyway.

I suspect it's still just as broken.

I have heard that a Spoon Sports modified F20c can do 11k reliably. The engine has a very long stroke for its size, and stock, the piston speeds are already higher than almost any other car engine, so that it can spin as fast as it does is pretty amazing.

Motorcycle engines, however… Some of those are 14-16K stock.
I hope Rust comes out as the winner in the current crop of possible C/C++ replacements.

It seems like most of the other make a lot of compromises to keep things simple and open.

The bugs are just going to keep happening if we don't do something. And if we don't stop making critical security errors, there could really be a movement to return to analog tech, big enough to set us back 10 years.

So many people don't trust computers, and a lot of emerging tech like self driving cars and IoT in the home relies on trust.
Infant mortality is down to 5.5 per 1000 from 7.5 in the US.

People living in extreme poverty globally is down to 700 million from 1.9 billion.

The world today is better than the 90s in many measurable ways.
> for example I looked up a 2 meter Belkin cable advertised as TB3 and it doesn't carry the DisplayPort channel

It’s not possible (I think?) for a USB-C cable to support TB3 but not DisplayPort. Both are alt modes on the USB protocol and use the same wires for transmission, so it doesn’t make sense to go the extra mile of TB certification and not support DP too when you already have the necessary wires.
Same in Australia for most doctors (bulk billing). You usually only have to give them your card once.

If your doctor doesn't bulk bill though the process becomes more difficult.

You have to go onto a government website (fairly modern one), and upload your receipt for reimbursement within a few days. Or if that's too hard, just visit a local medicare office and they'll do it for you. Tough!
In America companies pay staff between minimum wage and the minimum to attract adequate laborers. This holds true until you get to the exclusive country club golfing class of insufferable wealth where spending money to hire friends is a novelty, like feeding ducks bread at the pond.

Any profit that a company takes is an act of economic and social violence against the staff who only submits to such lopsided conditions because the state chooses more permanent forms of violence for transcending the carefully manipulated social hierarchy. So, yes, let the business being subsidized by taxes go under and let’s provide food clothes and shelter for the disaffected. That owner is a leech and should be imprisoned for fraudulently profiting off of arbitrage between labor costs and sale value at the taxpayer expense.

Slightly off topic, I strongly encourage you too get your feet wet by serving the generationally impoverished. Check back in with me after 1,000 hours of service and let e know how it went.

I'd treat that similarly to finding that the person had embezzled money before. I wouldn't want a person of that character anywhere around me or my business.
Written works have had sarcasm, irony, and related forms of wit for as long as they've existed. While people might miss the mark, it doesn't mean we should just give it up as impossible just because we're now writing comments online.

And it probably says more about me than the writer, but I always cringe when I see /s since it seems to be implying "Hey, in case you're a bit slow, this is sarcasm. Glad to help."

Sarcasm is by definition kind of elitist. You get it, and you're in the cool group, or you don't and you go on your way. It's a puzzle to solve. Removing all uncertainty removes its fundamental essence.

Yes, either the Browser or the OS will need to be involved. For example, for Webauthn on Chrome on Windows: chrome receives the request, then it calls the Windows Hello APIs. Then, that Windows Hello API shows a popup to read a physical security key or authenticate a virtual security key via face/PIN (this is protected by a TPM, but it's "virtual" since Windows generates it via the TPM but stores it encrypted on-disk).

To support a syncing fido keyvault, Chrome could very well redirect the calls to its own popup for choosing to 'use Chrome', or 'use another key', which would then call the Windows Hello API. In fact, Chrome already supports this[0], with 'Add a new Android phone' is simply how they're presenting Webauthn over BLE, and it works with iOS when passkeys are enabled in the iOS developer menu[1].

Show HN: Intel PMU Profiling
See https://github.com/rodgarrison/rdpmc

If you've been interested in micro-benchmarking code using Intel's PMU HW capability to capture per HW core metrics, this repository may be for you. The repository includes 'doc/pmu.md' with a copy of Intel's software reference manuals (PDF) so, all in one place, you can understand and develop PMU profiling for your Intel micro architecture.

Example included. Source code is 451 LOC with comments.

Features:

* Minimum, complete

* Does not require yum install msr-tools

* Header only: include and you're done

* Works in user-space and/or kernel code

* Very low latency because PMU is

* Programmable event types. Includes support for fixed counters

* Well documented

* Handles thread pinning if requested

* Simpler than PAPI, Nanobench, and PCM by one or two orders of 10.
No, I'm talking about matching JavaScript's memory layout and memory management, indirection and sharing and all.

The children field is itself a reference to a collection. Reading the field creates a new reference to the same collection, and that is what the for loop holds. If func grabs parent that's fine, it's just one more reference (in the Rc sense).

That collection also just holds references, and the for loop copies them out too. The trickiest bit here is the iteration state itself- you wouldn't be able to use e.g. Rust's typical slice iterator and still retain the ability to mutate the collection, but JavaScript doesn't do that either. Its iterators just have to be implemented taking the possibility of external mutation into account.

The fundamental tradeoff here is that JavaScript simply puts everything behind a reference, all the time, while Rust allows you to work with objects directly. This is what makes sharing+mutation feel so simple in JavaScript- anything you can do to change the "shape" of a data structure is really only changing a reference, and leaving the old version around in case anyone else was still using it.
> how does a team of actually skilled engineers who wants to get a start in this business compete with these sales companies?

You don't. There's an inverse effect where you don't really want the clients that go for these big consulting companies because there's just as much crap on their end and they'll drown your skilled team in bureaucratic nonsense. You want the smaller clients where your technical skills complement their domain knowledge. There's still a lot of marketing and management, but the people that actually do things can talk to each other.
My Goodwill in San Rafael takes all the good stuff that comes in the back, and it goes to the San Francisco store to put on ebay. The junk stays in the stores. Every once in awhile something of value does not automatically go to their internet store because it was missed by a back room staffer.

A few years ago my Goodwill went through three store managers in a row for stealing over a period of 10 years. One manager was pilfering the jewelry from the safe regularity, and loading up her van after everyone left.

I find it ironic they have cameras everywhere, and signs worning about shoplifting, when it was the employees stealing for years.

You can still get lucky on books, but you need to show up early. The professional resellers are there with their bar code readers at opening. Every once in a while a decent business suit can be found, but those days are kinda gone too. None of the clothing is cleaned before being put out.

Another manager had multiple antique dealers that he was selling to. He was so out in the open about it, the employees didn't batman eye. Good stuff would never leave the back room. He basically had everything sold within hours to his cronies.

There's a good book out their on how Goodwill is run.

It's eye opening. Supposedly the only employees making a real living wage were the Regional managers. 20 years ago they were getting $250,000/yr., and a car.

Don't get me completely wrong, I don't dislike Goodwill. They hire felons for a year.

They are a bit better than most of our 501c3. That's still a low bar though where so many, especially the nonprofits who incorporate in Deleware, are basically formed to reward the founders.

I won't even get started on In Defence for Animals because the founder died a few years ago.

Give it back to whom exactly? How does she know who the "rightful" owner is without knowing its provenance? Possessing looted art is not a good look and neither is transmitting (wittingly or not) to a party that isn't the rightful owner. She did the smart thing.
>how much of even your personal tax dollars went burned on this?

Australia has a population of 26 million, so that's like $1.50 per capita, once, to create a new system that will reduce the amount of bureaucracy and bullshit in our lives.

I'd gladly pay 50x that amount if they could get VicRoads on board.
Will Pat Needham get any Google Bux for finding this?
Imagine trying to turn around an organization like that. Must be an interesting challenge.

The sheer amount of technical debt, legacy systems, dysfunctional team processes and culture. Not to mention the sheer motive inertia needed to change anything in that environment. Moving in any direction will have 1000 other things breaking/popping up to steal momentum. A Gordian knot impossible to untangle.

It doesn't help that corporations buy all these houses up at full price and well above listing just so they can use it as rental income.
That is correct. It is really interesting to see his interpretation of the character - to me it is the best and most humourous of the entire movie.
Regarding https, one thing I like to do on my personal websites is listen if the client actually wants to upgrade protocols instead of forcing https on everyone.

set $need_http_upgrade "$https$http_upgrade_insecure_requests";

location / {
if ($need_http_upgrade = "1") {
add_header Vary Upgrade-Insecure-Requests;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}

index index.php index.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

Its pretty straightforward to do in nginx, and my websites remain usable in IE5, Contiki, various feature phones.

I think most people on HN are web developers who only talk to other web developers and think the only good jobs in the world are at Facebook. There's a definite bias.

Of course, there's a few more problems than low paying or moved to China - it might be on-site somewhere expensive (Apple), somewhere you don't want to live (probably a lot of these), or boring or unethical (a defense contractor).
I love this! It has a chance of breaking some things, but probably not many.
Disproportionately annoyed that 'slightly' and 'definitely' have their own columns but equal weight.

This goes against everything I learned in ECON101.
Redux is 100% UI-agnostic. You can use it with any UI framework (React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, jQuery, web components, vanilla JS). This is also true with our official Redux Toolkit package, which is the standard way to write Redux logic today.

However, in practice, probably 90-95% of Redux users _do_ use it with React. So, yes, all of our tutorials are written under the assumption that you are using it with React.

Additionally, we see lots of people trying to learn Redux too early in their journey. It's bad enough that bootcamps throw people through "4 weeks of JS, 4 weeks of React, 4 weeks of Redux, GO!", and we can't do anything to stop that. We do want people to learn Redux, but we've found that it's best if most people are already comfortable with JS and a UI framework (which, again, is normally React), before they try to dive into Redux. That way there's fewer new terms and concepts to learn at once, and it's more clear what benefits Redux can add and how it fits into the UI layer.

If you'd like to focus on just the Redux core concepts, I'd recommend going through our "Redux Fundamentals" tutorial. It explains the underlying principles and techniques, and how Redux works:

https://redux.js.org/tutorials/fundamentals/part-1-overview

There is content in the middle of that tutorial that explains how to use it with React, and if you want to use it with vanilla JS you'll have to recreate equivalents to some of those APIs yourself. But, the rest of the material should be directly relevant.

Also, please come by the Reactiflux Discord and ping us over in the #redux channel - we're happy to help answer questions!

I don't think there's any public technical mistake that'll prevent you from ever getting a job in tech. Demand is just too high. Peaceful oblivion still isn't my default even though it should be.
You will not catch me writing 9000 lines of code to make a blog post. Extremely impressive stuff.
I'm guessing it will probably be more like large complicated libraries, just like now, that have 8 different implementations for different chips, heuristics for what is worth doing on GPU, etc.
Isn't this one of those "If everyone is crazy, you're crazy" situations? If every house is overvalued by some metric, then maybe the metric is wrong. People's perceptions of value are a large part of the actual value(meaning what someone would really pay) for things like housing that should depreciate over time.
to be fair that is probably a major reason that we haven't seen the year of the linux desktop, and for that matter no other OS has really been able to break the Windows/Mac duopoly in desktop OSes.
I'm personally in the Georgia Tech Online Master's in Computer Science (OMSCS) program right now and can't say enough good things about it. The coursework is rigorous, deep, and varied, you really do learn quite a bit through the program and more than just random learning on your own, you get a degree out of it. Plus you get the opportunity to do some research and publish papers.
No worries :) Non-React usage is still the minority use case, but it's one that we take seriously. Per my comment above, Redux and Redux Toolkit are still 100% UI-agnostic at their core. Even our new "RTK Query" data fetching API in RTK works with (or without!) any UI, which is why users have adapted it to run alongside NgRx, Vue, and Svelte.
I was talking about business taxes and the business portal. I didn't realize personal tax was different.
There was also a pretty basic SSO security issue a few years back, and I tried and tried and could not find anyone to report it to beyond regular customer service. Maybe they've fixed it but basically you click to look at tax stuff, it takes you to ATO online services, you click back to mygov then sign out. Sign into another account and click and now you're looking at the original person's tax stuff since it's still signed in. Not a problem for myself and my wife, but potentially an issue for abusive relationships or shared resources like a library computer.
Thank you! Great to hear that it's working well for you.
A 10% drop is nothing for anyone that has owned for more than 3 years, at least in my area.
If I have someone else (presumably more qualified and skillful than me) take the interview for me that would be a problem, no?
I actually have people use my gmail.com like this. Someone even signed up for facebook with this. I accidentally clicked 'yes' like an idiot and then it took months before they'd let my email off the bloody account.

Everyone uses my (real first name / not my middle name) email for all sorts of receipts. I've received African tenant agreements, some dude's Intel payroll document, all sorts of shit.
That's why there's an ECON102.

Unfortunately a lot of the old art in the world only exists because by modern reconing it was stolen. Consider the fabulous collection at the palace museum in Taipei. Much just like it was destroyed in the cultural revolution.
I can’t help but think of that saying “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” Yes, prices in many markets are very high and appreciating at a rapid clip, but if there are buyers, competition, and houses are continuing to move quickly, then it’s a bold statement to say they are overvalued and that we should predict a significant decline.
Interesting! I hadn’t heard of that issue before.

The criteria here is apparently:

> The economist said a given housing market is considered overvalued if property costs in the area are "well above" the historical relationship between home prices and incomes, rents and construction costs.

Which, no surprise there, prices are up in a lot of places!

Whether or not that is "overvalued" or suggests a crash coming seems a lot more complicated. Would historical trends hold if historical conditions have changed? Mortgage rates rising are one of those things you'd expect to certainly arrest some of that price acceleration. If everyone who moved to Boise decides to move out of Boise, that's another one. (Though if a bunch of folks moved back from Boise to SF, that's not gonna cool down the also-seen-as-somewhat-overvalued SF market!)

Maybe a bunch of folks are just spending a bunch of crypto winnings, naturally causing inflation but not necessarily leading to a crash. ;)
Short answer: no.

Longer answer: you need a server application of some sort in order to process the activities you receive in the inbox and send your activities out to your followers, and a database of some sort to store the follow relationships. One-direction federation is also not very feasible with static files because the follow flow involves sending activities in both directions. You receive a Follow activity in your inbox, which you must wrap into an Accept activity and send that back to the inbox of that follower as an acknowledgement.
All the best for your studies. I also decided to do a mid career masters, but as I did not have a completed undergrad degree I opted for an MBA in AI via a “non prestigious” UK university, as I also wanted part time, online and cheap. I’m a 3rd way through now.
No because houses as an asset class could still be overvalued relative to other assets.
Man, the way they choose the sounds for all the interactive parts is perfect, that was one of the most fun demos to use.
I recently started using the pro version for the custom shortcuts. On a portrait mode monitor I like to split the pane vertically into thirds, so it makes that possible. It's also a pretty cheap buy at $10.
The top comment purports to represent an unpopular opinion, but I'll offer one that's even less likely to appeal. Maybe kids would be less likely to over-engage with computers and what's behind them if they didn't see their parents doing exactly that. There are plenty of adults who can barely take their eyes off their phones even while driving. There are even more who work long hours with computers, but to anyone not looking directly at the screen a debugging session can be indistinguishable from a YouTube video binge. Sometimes there really isn't that much difference. All of the parents talking about how hard it is to enforce screen-time rules or limits should think very hard about what the time they spent typing those comments might look like to others.

Addendum: even when kids don't directly witness parents' social-media use, they often become aware of it in other ways. If every dinner-table or in-the-car conversation starts with "I saw this great post on Facebook" or "somebody on Hacker News said" they can figure out what's going on. When parents' beliefs or mood are obviously affected by online events, they see that too and it becomes normalized. Again, people should think carefully about the example - as well as the rules - that they set.
You misread the article. Deloitte was given a 90 day period to build a proof of concept which won them the follow-up contract.

I believe the project actually ran on pretty standard 2 or 3 week sprints.
