Humans don't have instincts, except a little baby's instinct to suckle. An instinct is a pre-programmed behavior, not a desire. Only non-human animals have instincts.

Motivation is never something to overcome. Motivation is power. You work with it.

By "willpower" people usually mean ability to force yourself to do something you aren't motivated to do - you shouldn't try to do that, it's operator error of the human system.
> I’m concerned more about the impact on small business owners who depend on cheap labor.

I'd say rent is a bigger problem for businesses than labor costs. QE and low interest rates fueled a large push to hoard real-estate supply.

> A more suitable solution would be to address expenses we all face, like healthcare, that could benefit small business entrepreneurs as well as employees

We can do both. In fact, both probably work in tandem.
Ask HN: Does anyone use the Comments link in the top navbar?
With so many comments posted constantly on HN what is the use of the top navbar new Comments link? Is it simply a relic of the past where the site was much smaller and you could actually refresh that page after a few minutes to get a new comment instead of going to every story and refreshing it?
Recognizing the games that others are playing is useful, however refining your own games seems the much better play.

What are your personal win conditions? What are the odds and your confidence in those odds that those will remain stable for the rest of your life? Are any inconsistent with the other conditions?

Are all your win conditions attainable? Can you create a simple-to-follow path that leads to those win conditions and avoids going near loss conditiions? Will that path clash with any other people's win conditions paths?

Makes me respect game worlds designed so people can play however they wish.
Apparently it isn't. I'm not sure if China, where many of these come from, has banned it's production or what. I recall someone saying that was why but who knows really. There are other dissassociative RCs that are sold now but I think they're all generally rated as not being very pleasant
>True multimedia is a lost art. We had it back in the 90s when software came on discs and it was a high-density, polished product that combined text, audio, video, and interactive elements on the same page.

This reminds me of Microsoft Encarta.
MySQL has some robust tooling in this space. Some of the tools use triggers to copy to a new table. GitHub's gh-ost[1] is probably the state of the art, and uses the binary log stream to replicate the data.

Missed this first half of the sentence.
While a nice theory, this is not competitive in practice... The capital costs and loss in productivity result in about a 2 to 3 times lower profit per unit of land compared to full solar. Just put solar on the non-ideal fields (iirc about 4% of German AG area would be needed to cover electricity demand with solar)
I'd count yourself lucky whatever that spooky shit was couldn't execute!
I'm a normal person, which I think is morally better than being an ascetic, but I only eat once a day.
You are saying that women don't respect successful men? Because in my world, nerds are successful.
Thanks. I understood the pieces of getting CO2 from air, getting electricity from solar/wind, using those plus water to somehow make fuel (magic?); but didn't connect the dots on it all being the same carbon throughout the process.

They're going to really need to knock people over the head with the part that what goes out is only what goes in, and also why that's better than extracting oil from the ground.
Art imitates nature. All ideas are remixes of previous ideas, and ideas are ultimately rooted in observations from nature. A human mind in a vacuum wouldn’t be able to create anything.
So the solution is just vendoring? Vendoring is very clunky—that's why we have package managers in the first place.
Hydration bags tend to be slightly less problematic as many incorporate some amount of airflow-management and moisture-wicking, and the water itself tends to be somewhat cooler, at least initially.
The other group goes to the Sales team.

I have no proof, but after dealing with them for 25 years, I have no doubt.
As far as I can see the F-35 has actually ended up as a pretty good plane, most people massively against it (but in favour of having fighters) are either stuck in 2014 or living in a parallel universe where the (say) gripen is actually competitive.

It's an expensive aircraft but everything is expensive now, even a new F-16 is as near as makes no difference the same cost (not including maintenance...)
What area are you in? I'm in Detroit, a major manufacturing center, and there's always demand for embedded devs on job boards. Maybe you need to relocate?
They mention this potential downside explicitly in the blog post. It sounds like they actually believe this is a good thing as it signals to junior employees that would need alot of support that they cannot provide it:

> The way we’ve set up our levels, people in the early stages of their careers can get bigger titles and raises more quickly at other orgs than they can at Daily. This will likely be a deterrent to some early-stage candidates, but we are ok with that for now. While we are excited to bring in early-career people once we have the structure to support them, we aren’t there yet, and probably won’t be for a while. We don’t want to make the mistake of hiring high-potential people we then under-serve, especially if they’re from groups typically excluded from tech.

Boring econ100 opinion.

This is the "imagine a sphere in a perfect vacuum" for econ.
I’ll tell you that’s how my parents were about some stuff. Excluding me from stuff my peers were doing because they thought they knew best. They were mostly wrong and I don’t really talk to them today. Better hope you’re right.
I don't understand such strict screen time limits. As adults everything will be on a screen. Might as well start getting good at it.

My kids are <10 and they have youtube limits, but they can play heaps of interactive games where they learn about resource management, team play, how systems work, how to solve problems and how to think.

I will even let them back on the computer in the evening after dinner if they want to do programming or level editing in Roblox, or make music in garage band, or something else creative.

and b vitamins (b12 seems to have the greatest effect on reducing hangovers, and i've heard alcoholics tend to be b6 deficient so can't go wrong w that too)
Not OP but it makes the whole setup easier to use.

For instance, when I turn on the PS4, HA turns on the receiver and the TV, switches to the correct inout, adjusts the lights in the room.

When I turn off the ps4, it switches off the tv and the avr, unless I switched the receiver to the music or media player input (in which case it turns the tv off or not)

It also lets me use these cheapo ikea zigbee volume buttons to adjust the sound on the receiver, pause and skip songs or video (via libreelec). And the “light switch” aqara button to turn off all lights at bedtime from my bed and keep the music running (if I double tap) or switch it off otherwise.

The above wouldn’t be possible otherwise: ikea’s volume switch only works with these ikea/Sonos lamp things otherwise.

But, still, they do it for you.
The Software Industry is headed off a cliff.

People who actually take care of the low-level plumbing are not being incentivized nor given their due. Expertise and Hard-won knowledge is being lost. There is also not much ground-breaking research going on in these domains which doesn't bode well for the future. As a final nail in the coffin, Colleges/Universities are not even creating/training the next generation of "Low-Level System Engineers". We are going to end-up with a handful of Companies holding the keys to the kingdom and holding Society-at-large hostage.
You can't actually make your own luck though.
But most of them become very skilled in navigating the social media landscape, which is what actually matters to them.

And the people that don't fit in will usually put more energy in other ways to express themselves and have a much higher chance of becoming Truly Interesting People, if they make it through that pressure cooker.

It's tough and I'm glad I'm not a part of it, but it's not the end of all cohesion in society that some make it out to be.
Anecdotally, I've noticed some stuff in people close to me.

Cold showers. Focus all day, plus drastically decreased stress. It just makes an enormous difference for me.

"Successful trial" is a normal phrase and you're trying too hard to be dismissive.
Perhaps I'm missing your point, but I think you're focussing too much on the specific case that someone who isn't me came up with.

My most general point is that the identifiers we use in our code are almost never just convention or taste when we are sharing that code with anyone else (and for most, "anyone else" includes our future selves). Getting a little more specific, I'm specifically interested in Julia and look forward to working in it further, but I've personally felt pain around scientific/mathematical notation when trying to understand code I've found on github. tagrun dismissing my pain as nonsense and the people who argue for my ilk as perpetrators of bikesheddding is dipshitted. Yeah, I'm probably the asshole for being a college dropout trying to leverage modern scientific computing for my own ends (snoogins), but I'm also willing to bet tagrun is probably the member of a team that talks down to junior members and complains they haven't read enough papers or the right papers to see the magnificience of their code ;).

It's fine to write code that demands a domain expert to understand, but don't pretend like its good across all dimensions. There are tradeoffs involved.

Personally I find the preponderance of scientific/mathematical notation (whatever you want to call it) in Julia to be cute; It certainly does bind the code to linked papers in a pretty cool way when it all fits together properly. That said, its a pain in the ass when it doesn't fit together properly and I've personally had a journey into Julia spoiled due to frequency at which I had to figure out how to notate something or what word to use when regarding some squiggle I haven't encountered before. I look forward to having a better intuition for the greek alphabet but until then Julia will often be harder to read, let alone understand when compared to ruby or javascript or go or C# or any other of the roughly dozen programming languages I've worked with and feel comfortable translating between.
I'm from EU, and I agree with you that this is a North American thing.
> There is no post-React

Oh, you sweet summer child.
I think it's simple: People don't want something like Python or Java, which improves on old stuff with a big runtime, and they don't want something like Rust, which improves on old stuff with lots of complicated static checking. You can't write an OS in Python, and Rust isn't simple, which these people really want. So throw away the runtime, throw away the fancy compiler checks, and you just have a slightly nicer C.

Can some experienced security professionals weigh in on the cultural and organizational factors that allow this kind of major breach to go unnoticed for a week, that too in a reputed company like Heroku?

I'm not asking this rhetorically or in bad faith. It's a genuine question I have based on a project I did. I researched cybersec tech like SOAR, XDR, security logging, and SIEM in depth. On paper, the marketing for such tech gives the impression that by using them, such breaches can be detected and prevented in real-time. But there seems to be a mismatch between the claims and ground realities. If so, why?
It fit well with the network code where the other side is never be sure. Text interaction is a good initial way out of it. From old ftp, http, telnet … Xml and even json even if they are “structured” or fsm at least they are text. We can read the log.

I prefer text. Binary is too early optimisation and record oriented is too restricted.
I like this: "Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth"
If the mental health crisis is exacerbated by other stressors, how does that explain the following? 1) The crisis started suddenly in 2009, 2) It affects girls far more, and 3) It is occurring in many countries.

Haidt brings up those points in the testimony to rule out other factors and prove that social media is specifically to blame.
I have an idea: let's body-shame them into believing they were born in the wrong body for their actual gender, and suggest that removing their reproductive organs and a devastating, life-long hormonal treatment will make it all alright.
> So, you have never had a JS application delivered over the web become unusable despite your attempts to only use it how and when you need to?

Of course I have, that’s not the point I was making. My point was that JS and the VMs it runs on are very fast, if you know how to use the language and when not to use it. That couldn’t possibly apply to apps you didn’t build. If I’d said C or whatever is fast if you know how to use it, I don’t think I’d get this comment about some horribly inefficient downloaded printer driver.
Neither I nor this other guy are denying that. I don’t think you understand the idea.

Moreover, if you’re incapable of giving someone charitable interpretation, that’s a failure of your intellect, not of anyone else’s.

What we bought has several flaps (to help with insulation) and a plastic cover we can put over it at night. The flaps would still be there; I just wanted a "cover" that would come off in an emergency.

If it was a while ago things might have been different. Not sure if you are around anymore but there is a continuous push for standardization. There is also a big emphasis on candidate experience lately.

I also believe in adding a personal touch to the interview process, but I don't believe in mind games. To me this would fall in the same bucket as "let me mispronounce your name on purpose and see how you react" or "let's give the candidate the wrong directions and let them figure out the way". You could frame it the other way around, what if it goes wrong? at best you lose some valuable interview time and annoy the candidate, and doesn't tell you much about how good they will be at the job.

> Which do you think are just products of the media?

A lot of them.

The '08 recession happened when most teenagers were in elementary school. The economy has thoroughly recovered the last several years leading up to COVID.

Mountains of debt after graduating, is only an issue if you plan to go to college. A lot more teenagers are realizing the scam and predation that a university education is unless you've got a serious shot trying to be a doctor or a lawyer. Trades will perform better on average than most non professional fields.

Climate becoming unlivable (for Americans, important caveat). Estimates for climate refugees are ~200 million over the next century even in pessimistic cases, and few of those would be among Americans. The bulk are concentrated in arid or equatorial countries. Which, to be clear, is a massive injustice since those countries are bearing the biggest brunt of climate change while other countries reaped most of the rewards of fossil fuels. But the idea large swaths if the American population is living somewhere that will become unlivable in the next few decades is misinformation.
I received an email yesterday asking me to change my password. I did, and updated our services with the regenerated Heroku API key.

This morning, I was unable to log into my account and had to reset again. And update our services again.
I haven't flown since 2018. I don't get the context.

I agree, but how much time does it take to realize this as an adult? How about as a teenager?
I am a very happy Bunq customer for 4+ years, and as a user of other Dutch banks (for a mortgage - ABN amro, in the past UK banks like FD), their overall service levels great - if I chat via the app I have always been helped quickly, flexibility with accounts, cards, automation via the APIs etc is absolutely worth the price hike. These are things I am happy to pay a few extra cups of coffee a month for as they make my life with an extended family much easier to manage day to day.
Or use bitmap fonts.
He/she turned out to be somewhat right, though the JVM is still quite a marvel of engineering, not to mention Truffle. And today Java is a far more capable language than in 2000.

I think the major difference between them and now for developers is that MIT/BSD/Apache-licensed, non-marketed languages and toolsets have gone mainstream.

In other words, developers today no longer are paying through the nose for the tools they use, unless those tools are cloud-based.
Or seeing it presented in ways that make it seem much cooler: Lots of events I've been to look way more amazing in pictures people post then they actually were being there. :)

It is harder for men to cry due to their biology, this is supported by first hand experiences of trans women. This is not to say that men don't experience emotions or are not as empathetic or that women are emotional, but that the physical process itself is hindered.

Yes I use it often to get a feeling about whats being discussed, as I won't check every link and headlines are often misleading

We've made it in to a competition by creating false scarcities of necessities (mostly housing). If you want a home, you need to be better than your peers.
It's ego. The simple awareness of a metric and where you are on it vs where the other guy is gives raise to comparisons, and ultimately feeds your ego. And that ego gets in the way of what could be better relationships.
The sweet spot for synthetic fuel, in most cases, is anhydrous ammonia. It stores in liquid form at room temperature under mild compression. Ammonia can be burned in place of natural gas in generators, and in place of bunker oil in ships given retrofitted tankage and plumbing. It is probably practical for retrofitted freight trucks, rail locomotives, and farm machinery. Its volumetric energy density is lower than kerosene's, but usually tolerably so. It is unlikely to find use in cars.

Anyplace where LH2 aircraft operate, kerosene-powered airframes will be simply unable to compete. It is not clear that existing airframes can be retrofitted, and build-out of LH2 craft may take a long time. By 2040, if civilization has not collapsed yet, probably the majority will be LH2, and old kerosene airframes will be on marginal routes.

Synthetic hydrocarbon fuel will have strong demand for at least a decade or two, maybe longer depending on many factors including various costs, taxes, and regulations.
They can, but for any reasonable sized application, you're basically recreating bare redux. If someone is good with both, it can architect and choses the correct one based on the needs of your software. But if you find that your global state needs are not small, you just chose redux - add a library like rematch on top to reduce boilerplate - so it's straightforward for your junior.
Clearly a great company in many ways, but if I attempt to quantify how great in terms of a reasonable market cap, I get maybe $30B, not $100B.

Does anyone have a plausible model of how Airbnb can ever make over 5x more revenue than it’s making today? Is the $100B market cap building in an assumption that it’s going to invent new business lines and push them through its distribution channel, or what?

Top line needs to keep growing 30%/yr for next 5 years, then reach a stable state of 30%/yr earnings+growth yield...

Then if that optimistic scenario comes true, congratulations, you can expect a modest 10%/yr yield investing at $100B today. I believe that’s roughly the math.
So very glad I'll be dead in 50 years.
What do you think where those 200 million will flee to? Certainly not other arid or equatorial countries.
A thought.

I don't think your question was rude at all.

I feel similarly. I've performed the Chopin/Liszt etudes and Bach's sinfonias as a kid (which I guess translate to intermediate classical piano skill) but would struggle to sight read even the two-part inventions at 1/2 or even 1/4 speed.

I'd be quite keen to use some method to upgrade my sight reading to where I find learning new music rewarding, as long as it's known to produce results.

Currently I can learn a Chopin Nocturne or Mazurka much faster by ear (listening to it to learn the rhythm/melody/harmony) to recreate it roughly and watching someone play it to get the more exact voicing (with the sheet music as a reference mostly).
