>is this some US thing?

Western EU thing as well. There's an oversupply of candidates (everyone wants move/live here) and a low supply of jobs (in some countries), so companies can afford to be very picky.

Eastern EU has the opposite phenomenon, oversupply of jobs due to outsourcing/nearshoring coming in, and lack of skilled candidates since may skilled ones moved west.
Only anecdata, but I’ve experienced it directly, and I’ve also helped other people out when I saw them experiencing the same. I’m a little surprised by this response to be honest?
Thankfully, banks in general are in a stricter regulatory environment with a government-level watchdog you can escalate to, though that might not apply for electronic money institutions (or whatever the US equivalent is).
I agree that 'set -x' is the shell superpower, as it shows your scripts behaviour but not the inside of the tools you call.

I'm quite sad that gdb doesn't have something similar: 'step in my application only' no I don't want to step into the STL shared pointer dereference implementation for the n-th time!
Look, I’m all down for a wealth tax but under our current system this doesn’t count for anything. If my house doubles in value from $200k to $400k I didn’t make $200k in income in the eyes of the tax man.

The fact that the criteria for the payout was just income and not a combination of income and assets is the fault of the people writing the legislation.
Anecdata: I grew up in LA. I was always relatively healthy. Moved to NYC. Developed autoimmune disease by my 6th year in NYC.

I often wonder if I would have developed the disease if I had stayed in LA.
We from croit.io hire worldwide with work from everywhere. Since COVID-19 we see a huge increase in salaries of usually low labor cost countries. It's still cheaper, but there are reasons to get more expensive employees as well.

For example we have a hard time to find Linux System Administrators / DevOps that want to support our global customer base. We even need to get more US engineers onboard to fulfil requirements of large companies or governmental customers.

What you can expect, is a way more competitive environment in the future. We made quite good experience with our stuff and it brings a lot of value into a company to have a team with total different ways of thinking and viewing things. Just don't worry, be flexible, learn everyday, keep yourself ahead of others and you wont have to fear to be jobless. But if you are lazy, under average skilled and unflexible, prepare your self to get in trouble some day in the future.

I went to Canada on a work trip some years back, and there was basically no way for me to get mobile internet in any way - roaming would have been absurdly expensive, like several euro per MB expensive, I couldn't get a local sim card that would work with my phone(and even if I could all offers were weirdly expensive and not worth it for just a week long visit) - and yeah, I felt super uncomfortable travelling anywhere. It was difficult finding places to go or even calling a taxi.

But then I went just before the pandemic hit and I managed to get a card with like 2GB of data on it, and oh my god it transformed the experience entirely, for the extact reasons you said - it was just liberating. I could suddenly summon an uber, find places to eat, look up opening times at nearest attractions....my stay was about 100x more enjoable thanks to that.
I never said that it was useless. I said that this isn't borrowing and lending.

Borrowing and lending is the primary and most important function of finance. It allows economic agents to trade future consumption for present consumption. Yet it is fundamentally impossible using blockchain technology.
Very good article. I disagree with the comments here that it’s too theoretical/high brow. From time to time I discuss these topics in a circle of friends and the language we use isn’t much different from the language of this article. There isn’t much “new” thinking here, but if it’s your first time then you’re exposed to a big question mark. It’s a fairly benign introduction to the genre of post-competent societal literature that has yet to have a name. Knut Hamsun is long gone, so we’ll need a new champion.

An argument can be made that the pessimism exhibited in this article is pointing its finger at the HN comments that are saying it’s too difficult to follow. Yes, the article is right on the money.

To paraphrase: due to social forces we have an inkling of capability left to actually do the things that our ancestors have done that brought us here. Yes, we have technology, but without the means to rebuild it, we are fucked. There is no next step because we haven’t completed this one yet, and already we’ve lost competency. This isn’t a new concept, plenty of books games etc discuss it - Fallout, Warhammer 40k both deal directly with tech that is no longer understood.

I would say we need more over-all rounded people. Your job where you sit in front of a computer writing code is great, but you should really know a variety of things and be able to piece together the gaps. Another good article earlier had an HN comment about how an “unqualified” customer analyzed damaged o-rings by the vibration of a motor. At the very least, learn how to grow some vegetables. Forget automated hydroponic irrigation systems. Just don’t be a complete idiot and this article will make complete sense to you.

Oh, and ignore people saying this is some right-wing dog whistle sponsored by Peter Thiel. These people live in a hell of their own making.
I've mentioned this to people that know Mark personally but it seems I am the odd one out. I think it's cool that he takes on the legal liability risk of going after thieves and scammers but it's just a matter of time before one of the glitter bombs goes off in a car, causes the thief to drive into oncoming traffic or a pedestrian and he gets sued into oblivion for causing loss of life even if indirectly. The local cops fully support him but that will not protect him from civil damages. I know he reviews this with lawyers but I've experienced first hand that lawyers don't always consider the best interests of their clients.
So that applies for custom components, but I'm just talking about the raw base-level elements. For these there's nothing meaningful to "re-evaluate" (or avoid re-evaluating), as far as I know.
right, which is why its the wrong word to describe the former.

I guess the sad part here is that many influential people promulgating the term "privilege" actually believe(d) that was relevant amorphously to all white people, who as a class theoretically enjoy(ed) some certain privileges (such as moving to Oregon, not being conscripted as a slave, access to credit), but as individuals did not necessarily become beneficiaries of them.

And as the relevance of those extreme explicitly codified exclusions disintegrated, it moved to hyperbole - an exaggerated reality that ignores class based inequality. But with such heavy segregation many people believe the exaggerations.

and finally, some academics are trying to retcon what the word "privilege" means by incorporating additional information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, retconning is typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency.

how do we make this more obvious to people? I think there is a wide degree of support for programs that would disproportionately support disenfranchised people, as long as they are acknowledging its more of a class system now (and includes people of all race/ethnicities/colors in the program). And that's not the direction things currently are going, with the wrong words being used. Many would-be supporters are instead believing that there is an organized movement and threat to exclude them, as a form of payback, which is such an ironic and huge distraction, all from a failure to communicate. To that, I would just say its not organized.

Its just such a large potential population of support. "disproportionately affecting minorities" still leaves extremely large numbers of white people affected. whether its poverty, university admissions, dubious assaults and killings by law enforcement, domestic violence.
> If you have some sort of proceedings to make Peter Thiel a Duke, there might also be ways to strip him of his title for cause. Which might actually increase the public's collective power over acknowledged elites, and that without any resort to the more physical means you alluded to in your comment. After all, it would be more of a routine quasi-criminal sanction than a social revolution.

This is specious reasoning. There's a process that turns both of us into mulch (it involves a woodchipper), but you shouldn't attempt that process based on the inference that a reverse process (a mulch-to-human machine?) must therefore exist.

outsourcing doesnt necessarily mean india/eastern europe. we had great luck with south america and they were able to work the same time. this was a few years ago, the contracting company thought we were a little abnormal at the time, but everyone put on our project went through a regular interview so they were talented, and were treated as a member of the team instead of some remote contractor.
I haven't gone back and read the original after all these years to check the specification, but it's perhaps worth noting that at least the McIlroy solution is only valid in the C locale. At least these days you can use character classes. In my experience locales regularly bite people -- even en_GB ones.

Honestly, I think you're being unproductively passionate. I understand, but sometimes when you feel that swell of righteous anger it might behoove you to pause for a minute before you continue typing. And that applies even if you are absolutely, 100%, correct.

>Whatever it is we are pushing back against, it is not liberalism.

I agree. Much of the modern far left is the antithesis of liberal, they're strongly authoritarian... but they don't think they are. They've gotten spun around, so they think they are banning, censoring, and restricting in the name of freedom and liberty. It's nonsense, but it's something they can't see when they're in the middle of it... and worked up with their own righteous anger. Or defending against the attacks of others. Nobody thinks straight when they're being attacked.

That's a good reason to actively work on keeping HN discussion civil. It keeps the reactive reptile brains of all involved under control.

It took me a while to internalize "Just take a picture." And arguably it's still not an automatic reaction. Sure, most of the time you don't need it but it's essentially free.
I didn't say that it has no use. I was pointing out that blockchains do not allow "borrowing / lending money to other people without the parties having to trust each other or having to wait for a slow and expensive legal", contrary to what the OP claimed.
I forgot about jaws height! It often depended on who had unlocked what I suppose (different friends at different stages, for proper competition we always had the cart with everything and cheats) But odd job was definitely off limits - I think he was actually slightly under headshot range.

Seems like a lot of the cheapest ways to do this might introduce significant latency though.
For larger companies the pool is already the whole state anyway. People move within the state for a good job - there's likely only 1-2 tech hubs per state anyway.

I didn't expect everyone to jump into action and mill around pointlessly, I expected them to pause long enough to help me, a newcomer to town, contact people who were trained to help...

And to be clear, I mean this as an example and a warning to not get too disconnected from the physical world while doing these meditations. They were all as friendly of people as any others I met in a city, it was the context that made it stick out in my mind.
>but if encountered again, it will be known that it was previously seen

But when you see it again you have personally identified the individual have you not? Doesn’t that by definition mean it is identifiable if you are able to determine the identity later?

This is something that advertisers/supermarket points schemes etc used to do when they didn’t have consent to share personal data, hash it and align it with what they already had so effectively they shared the subsets of interest anyway. I remember at university when some guys from yahoo sponsored a hack event, they literally gave a guest lecture boasting about doing this with Sainsbury’s to squeeze through a legal loophole back in 2013.
Most of the value of understanding computational complexity of code is that you get a little voice saying "hey, this is probably going to cause issues on larger data sets" after writing something that passes tests and works on small pieces of trial data. A Chinese-Room understanding of O(n^2) vs O(n) and O(1) is plenty for noticing these, and may actually out-perform a more thorough understanding; what you want is to notice things going quadratic as you rush through a code review or slam out a feature, and that is almost entirely reliant on pure pattern recognition.

The Problems of Being a Surrogate Mother in Wartime
Yes, luckily it seems cities are slowly starting to realize that allowing cars everywhere and infinitely widening roads is not scalable and, more importantly, does not create a pleasant environment for people to be outside in.

The future is definitely creating more walkable/cyclable cities and improving public transit. Self driving cars have the potential to make things even worse by generating new car trips that otherwise wouldn't have been made.

Reading all these comments and realizing it's far from an isolated incident (plus the account suspension stories from other companies), I wonder, is there going to be a time where these shitty platforms eventually collapse on themselves once they end up banning the majority of their userbase?
This is correct.

Businesses are allowed to retain information necessary to operate. Which would include things like names, email addresses, IP addresses, etc of people who are banned (to prevent them from returning).

If GDPR required a company to delete everything, it would be impractical. (E.g. imagine you request a company delete your info, and then you immediately sue them for something that happened while using their product/service… the company wouldn’t be able to defend themselves unless they retained a record/logs of your usage.

You can submit a deletion request, but in most cases much of your data won’t actually be deleted.

As far as I know, all react native gtk are abandonned so I would not be so sure about that, flutter does better in this area
Sounds like they are not able to shoulder responsibility for errors made in the past. It's not hard to do usually - a heartfelt apology takes a few seconds and can turn a relationship completely around.

This is true and shouldn't be downvoted. Only quibble is the alarmist tone,
however the situation is and should be somewhat alarming. Folks often recommend putting
out the fire with gasoline, unfortunately.

For example another poster recommends free or low-price state schools, instead
of handing out mountains of freshly created money. One of those is incredibly
inflationary, the other is not.
> Usually, the `-x` option means "enable something", which is fine when you think of the "-" as a dash, but introducing `+x` encourages you to think of them as minus and plus;

To get used to it, one could think of it as a crossed-out dash instead of a plus. Crossed-out means that the dash is disabled.

In a word - immersion. The vast majority of RPG games suck at it. In-your-face tutorial pop-ups, GPS quest trackers, complex HUDs, full-screen menus, etc.

For a taste of what properly immersive RPGs are play the Gothic series.

"Other games of this era, and even a lot of modern games, are content to resort to more video-gamey designs that remind you you're playing a video game. Gothic 1 and 2 took the extra steps to ensure that everything was as immersive as they could possibly be." [1]

Videos that give a good overview of the immersive design of the games: [2], [3].

Guide on what exactly to play:

1. Gothic 1

2. Gothic 2 Gold Edition

3. The chronicles of Myrtana Archolos - a fan-made total conversion mod for Gothic 2 that follows in the spirit of the past two games. It's as high in quality as a professional production would be. Seriously. See [4] for a preliminary review.

All are available on Steam.

> The difference is that the base noun is at the end

The German [base]noun "Panzer" cannot simply be translated to the English "tank"[0] without context,
and specifically the noun "Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer" shouldn't be translated to any kind of tank.

Unless of course one thinks any vehicle with tracks and a gun is a tank(?)

> The Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard ("anti-aircraft armoured fighting vehicle 'Cheetah'", better known as the Flakpanzer Gepard) is an all-weather-capable German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG)[1]

Like the Bradley[2], it's an armoured fighting vehicle.[3]

Yes!

I'm a fan & practitioner of NVC, mindfulness, careful work life balance, etc for being able to treat startups as a marathon vs sprint... But I've observed people overuse & abuse these tools to rationalize prioritizing self over peers in ways that come at the direct expense of the same exact things of their colleagues. It can add up over time in a way that breeds resentment, distrust, non-collaboration, etc. Generally, risks a toxicity that taxes everyone more than the individual brings to the team. What one person needs is different from their peers, so requires some sort of empathic give-and-take, and for someone not as good at paying attention, help doing so.

In a team of high-functioning folks, a tricky line to walk! (And if people have recs here, am curious!)
I've always felt the same about Twitch in general.

If I had to choose between the two, I'd much rather my kid waste his time playing games than watching someone else play games. At least do something.

I managed to even make Twitch a daily habit for a year in my 20s, so I understand the allure of it just like I understand the allure of passively consuming anything else. I was never proud of it.
