> picking startups that would fail. I got pretty darn good at sniffing failure

Picking failures is easy because the majority of start-ups fail. If you pick failures 50% of the time, and 90% of startups fail, then actually you are really good at picking successes.

Depending on how much your write, URL collisions can naturally become a real problem. If you use a SSG then all your post HTML documents will be in the same directory, forever. This isn't a problem if you don't spit out posts, but if you post a lot your directory can become rather unwieldy. I'd say, at least throw a year in there: /2022/su/.
That's a neat hack
I used to have a mail address along the lines of d@nblows.com

Surely there's a huge amount of in-city trucking that doesn't need a lot of "living space" for drivers? Such as trips from a regional distribution centre on the outskirts of a city to supermarkets within it? Obviously the distribution centre would be stocked from further out by larger trucks (or in an ideal world, by rail freight).
Because prefers-reduced-motion isn't the default, but "no autoplay" is. And prefers-reduced-motion is also the correct answer here, because people who have prefers-reduced-motion enabled most likely don't want animating reaction images (they're a perfect example of the sort of motion that this setting is supposed to suppress).
This competes with 26' box trucks, not 53' trailers.

This is indeed a big problem I faced when I moved from WordPress to Jekyll. I decided to segregate them by year (very unique); so my articles/posts are /yyyy/foo-bar/. I did decided on the URL loooong back in WordPress as that was the most sane thing I could do while still writing a lot but have some segregation. E.g. There are about 93 files/posts in the "2006" folder for my website.
Another reason for using tmux: never worry about changing your muscle memory for splits and nav ever again.

I've been using tmux for five or six years. In that time I've used Linux and MacOS and several different terminals. But how I navigate around a terminal has stayed the same thanks to tmux.

Another reason: put complex tmuxinator configs in source control and start up a bunch of stuff for your project with a single command.

Income is more important than retirement accounts and your home. For example using the quick cost calculator [1] for a family with 1 child, $36k of income, a $1 million home that is fully paid for, and $1 million in retirement accounts the results are a parent/student contribution of $3200 and $2000 of student work-study.

> The goal of the tag is to reduce non-essential motion, but gifs may have essential information on a frame other than the first.

This is why I said I wasn't taking a stand on whether the <img> tag should apply this logic natively. It really depends on the content and context of the image. Not doing it natively means most sites won't bother to implement the prefers-reduced-motion, but doing it natively means images with meaningful content buried in the animation would effectively be broken.
Also wraps around if the pile gets too big to fit in the frame.

Besides the irony of "being important" and GDPR [0] not having been solved for a simple website, this is the first time in a long while that I see something like this, and it made me think (again!) how weird, unfair, and strange the world is, in relation to laws and regulation.

Right there could be other ways to achieve that, but the regulations you are a fan of prevent it.

>> Want to transact online with no ID?

>Nope, and there are great reasons that this sort of thing is generally not allowed.

It is true that I generally dislike regulation, but the same regulations you advocate for are the same regulations preventing the functionality provided by crypto. You then try to make the largest possible exaggeration, by asserting that I am against all regulations, therefore you cannot engage in the discussion. Backpedal. Yet you are supporting these same regulations, in this same thread.

Binary thinking? Strawmen? You construct the premises which make it impossible, then call it a strawman. You set these premises and then call it black and white, all or nothing.

Perhaps a more reasoned argument would be outlining how you intend to reduce regulatory overhead so state backed debt instruments can compete with cryptocurrency on the merits.

As you are preoccupied with the moral ills (energy consumption, voluntary transactions) of specific cryptocurrencies, it would behoove you to explain how the incentives of central bank currencies can be changed. Ideally they wouldn't be used for morally perilous outcomes like war, or in your case, excessive energy use by the military.

Otherwise, what are you advocating for here? What are the practical alternatives to cryptocurrency? Engage in the discussion.

I think it comes down to, what is your time horizon? This difference may persist in the short-term, but as companies that hire remotely become more successful and profitable, we'd expect to see those that are in-office-only based in a high CoL market to be outcompeted.
I really like this view. But any time I have suggested something similar (I think I might draw a different separation point between programmers/engineers in the general case), I have been accused of gate keeping.

The argument against is often phrased in such a way that enforcing, or even defining, separate ‘professions’ for individuals in software careers and those professions having differing requirements, is seen as a morally negative stance on its face. As a particularized example, one of the frequent arguments would be that a hierarchical structure would inevitably emerge among people potentially working on the same application. This argument is predicated on this stratification being inherently bad.

I think the push back on separating roles like you propose would be instant and vitriolic. I got slammed hard for saying that a person who had no concern or any interest in how data structures in a given application were implemented should not be hired as a ‘system programming’ dev.

I absolutely think you are correct at the theoretical level, but practical implementation of the idea is almost a non-starter.

But now I feel like we've got to review my original statement. I don't believe I ever said people who went to bootcamp shouldn't be hired or anything to that effect... I think that small teams (often made of bootcampers with relatively no experience) are disastrous.

One Jr Dev won't take down the ship but a whole crew of Jr's with senior titles and authority will at least slow you down to a crawl. In recent years I've worked with teams who are largely made of bootcampers and Jr devs. As I've said from the start, I've been in startup land for a long time now and it's usually all about getting by on a shoestring. I fully understand the financial reasoning behind it, but I dont think the people running these companies have thought far enough ahead and I strongly doubt that any of the places I've worked in recent years will be around even 4 years from now.
I have around 200k in investments and 50k in cheque account, resulting in 70k per year fee.

Sorry to depart from the feel-good narrative, but this kind of student labor is token or symbolic at best.

The kinds of jobs that students can perform are not nearly the kind of jobs that a college with a physical plant to maintain, professors to pay, finances to administer, etc. can make a meaningful dent in. (By and large), students are not going to be doing electrical work, maintenance, financial accounting, administration, etc. -- the day to day necessary jobs that keep an institution running -- at all, or enough to be offsetting the costs of those professionals and paying for salaries of the faculty. And you wouldn't want students to be handling many of the jobs that rely on people to conscientiously do them for years, and have institutional memory in mind. They're there to be students, not workers. That's why most student jobs are of the type similar to dorm cleaners, kitchen staff, library, computer room, etc. -- short term temp work requiring no great specific skills.

The article itself acknowledges that much of the income comes from the endowment, grants, donations. If you wanted to start a school on the premise of student labor paying for it, without these existing sources, there would be no way. The cost of running a school is simply way too high in developed countries to do this.

Having students work is not a bad thing. But it isn't some utopian possibility to solve the problems of the cost of education at nearly any typical school. To make this possible you'd have to start something like an educational coop in a developing country. And I doubt that would be a significant contributor to higher education, until it got larger and more professional, at which point you would start to run into the exact same issues above.
I always love to read HN comments from people that live in Japan (I have a special interest in Japan, for many small reasons).

I visited Japan a few times, and during the pandemic I spent 3 months in Kyoto. It was an absolutely incredible experience that I will never forget.

I even started to learn some basic Japanese - ten times, maybe? And of course gave up every time :(

One day I'll visit again, and I hope I'll meet tens of people like you, and listen to stories and details like the one in your comment.
The entire concept of thinking in the article is kind of wrong.

If we ask again what is mindfulness technique and what is created for, we will arrive to answer that it is technique from Buddhism, meant to liberate us from world, and repeated cycle or rebirth and suffering. Regardless of what you believe pause there and ponder. Forget for a moment whether you believe in after life or not. If we think about the end goal "liberate from the suffering" liberate from world and minds game.

So, we took a tool which should liberate us from world to become more productive?

Isn't our usage premise wrong? Of course there will be side effects, if you "abandoning" everything that is world game and keeps you worried or money looking animal, why is so strange that there are side effects as selfishness?
First stage of going inward is removing everything around you, and by seeing true nature you stop caring. But by stop caring suddenly, you see that as explained in many scriptures 'good or bad do not exist' there is only constant change.

Imagine you are child and you are with other children playing in the court, they ask you to join and you refuse. You say "I do not want to be in the game", and they reply "Why not?! C'mon we need extra player, here, you can be on a good side", you reply "I do not care about game, sides, manipulations, or you, in fact in this moment I do not exist"... from your perspective this is valid, from other children perspective you are selfish.

It drives me crazy to see laws like this unenforced. An unenforced law is basically a law that is only used when someone power doesn't like you. It's something they keep in their back pocket to either have you pay them off or for them just to kick you out. They don't like company ABC, enforce the law just on ABC's trucks.

Sure there are some dumb laws, and they should remove them. But, if they have a law it should be enforced IMO.

Sound familiar? It's surprising to hear this so early in the 'remote-first' trend. I think what we'll find is that actually, there is still a dearth of top software talent (even if you include hiring worldwide). It will probably depress wages some, but not as much as people think.

DBAs are done. A certain level of database proficiency is demanded of all the other engineers and non-engineers. And if you are really working on a super-awesomely-complex system that needs super awesome scaling, then..... you make shitty queries anyway and just increase the size of the memory cache or the number of database server instances. What!??? Heresy! Well okay then, go find a bad query and improve it so you get a nice bonus later. See, look, still no DBA on staff.

Major products are released and operating right now with incredibly low performant queries and uses of databases. The infrastructure people and services keep the databases running.
It's worth it to you to trade distance for clean/quiet, but it's the companies involved using the trucks that need to be convinced. Telling them that they need to have separate trucks for city use and long haul use will receive push back from sheer momentum of how it's done now. Unless the cities get involved and tax the bejeebus out of them for not switching, they will never switch.
Understood, but the challenge of getting documentation for ID can be as significant as having a permanent address.
That's been my experience as well. Last job search, I put in 3 or 4 applications and after all the calls and interviews were done I ended up with 3 offers.

I'm nothing special. But I do learn a little about each company I'm applying to and tailor my resume to each position. If possible I develop an internal contact so I can get some informal information on the position from the inside in advance. I only had inside contacts for two of the companies last time though.

I can't imagine doing that for 100+ companies like some people apply to. I have to imagine most people applying to that many are just doing a spray-and-pray method.

Or maybe advertising themselves but not selling themselves. In some cases a 2% conversion rate is a decent goal for a marketer advertising to the general public, but would be pretty bad for a salesman getting commission from personalized sales.

I'm no salesman, but approach the job hunt like an enterprise salesman who needs to land a good account with a good commission to live on.
The blind zones on regular trucks are absolutely insane. That we as a society let these vehicles drive around in populated areas is crazy.

There’s a lot of construction in my neighborhood at the moment and it’s always a bit scary letting my kids bike to school. I more than once saw a truck backing into a construction site crossing over a side walk. In the dark. And with no guidance, only mirrors and cameras (if any). There’s so many examples of people being killed by trucks backing in populated areas. And probably even more examples of trucks crushing cyclist when turning right over the cycling lane.

I’ve told my kids to stay way clear of trucks and never assume the driver has seen them.
You... do understand that the "safest" world literally means you lying in a bombproof vat of fluid with all your sensory input produced virtually so that there is no way you can get into an accident that harms you physically?

A safe world is of course nice, i do not deny that. But I see higher goals for our society than that. And pushing the boundaries of our knowledge and understanding of the universe we live in is inherently not safe.

I can't honestly say I respect people for choosing the blue pill. However, I very much respect their right to make that choice. I'd also appreciate that blue pillers respected red pillers' right to make their choice and not try to prohibit and demean everything they think looks risky. (obviously, dichotomy is not this strong in the real world)
Additionally, that Jr dev could have learned to code in their basement from some books for all I care... or could have graduated bootcamp sure. It doesn't matter where they got their info as long as they know what they're doing... but from what I've seen, bootcamp alone does a really poor job producing people who know what they're doing... worse so than college because it's meant to be lightening fast education and job placement.
