If you were looking for a job at the time, it absolutely did. It recovered in 2021, but I was very far along - at the stage where they were ready to make an offer - with at least two major companies and a handful of small ones, and had the rug pulled out at the end citing the pandemic and them closing ranks.

Just because one side does worse when more people are voting , it doesn't mean that "getting out the vote" isn't fair and balanced.

I've found it worth buying a set of keycaps that I know I like. Even amongst keycaps made of the same plastic (PBT), they don't always feel the same. And in my experience, the keycaps make as much or more of a difference in feeling as the switches themselves.

Specifically, I bought a set of the Granite DSA keycaps several years ago and always use them on my primary keyboard.
I think them using different languages should be the assumption. No two individuals ever have an exact same accent so over time languages change and chimps don’t have large macro-societies (states) to standardize language.
Rust is an entirely different process though. You can mitigate it with sacrificial anodes, for example (that's how steel ships survive bobbing around in salt water).
I can't say you made a great point by saying java is worse than c. Seems trivially identical to me.

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!");
return 0;
}

class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}

what is stdio, printf? whats f? return 0? The important thing is that actually all those questions are irrelevant. programming is complex, it can't be simplified, the steepness of the on ramp is irrelevant. if you want to climb the mountain you will. the climbing is the value the grade of the hill is irrelevant its a constant factor. People dont stop programming because java is verbose. They never really get past tutorial hell and build something they care about.

learning to programming isn't made easy by a language. learning calculus isn't going to be easy if you choose infinitesimals vs episilon-delta. Building understanding in your mind is the process of seeing the important structure through the fog of syntax.
Sure. Do you think it would be better to be poor without bread and circuses? Our bread and circuses are getting better and that seems good.
My unpopular opinion: start as low-level as possibly, preferably with assembly. A hello world in assembly is ~7-8 instructions on x86_64, provides easy introduction to debuggers, OS internals, and architecture, and will help understanding higher level abstractions.

Starting with high-level is fine if they just want to get a job (in which case they should probably just go straight to JS, Java, or C++), but if they want to really learn and understand, start with low-level.

> ordinary usage requires intent to discriminate

Disagreed. Our laws about discrimination against protected groups do not care about intent, nor do I care about intent when I am talking about a piece of code that serves to discriminate between one chunk of data and another in some fashion. In fact, even when I talk about people who discriminate, I rarely care about their intention.

Well, you've got a view that's in some ways refreshing since it's really far removed from what the mainstream narrative says. But we're either discussing subtly different topics, or I don't agree with your central point. Not entirely sure which.

Democracy, freedom of speech, rule of law mostly a facade that hides the real power structures regarding the most important questions of the world? If we decide that "the most important questions of the world" is something other than what the citizens of democracies really care about, then sure, you can run a supertanker through that rhetorical opening. There's plenty of space for dubious foreign policy that supports a small group of people, outside of the space of topics that most people care about. As long as the country in question is so rich that it can afford a powerful military with only a small fraction of its tax revenue. In that case, the foreign policy becomes just a budgetary rounding error that most people don't care about. Both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars could arguably fit that definition. But the USA couldn't have afforded those (and maintained enough public support) if it wasn't stupidly rich compared to everyone else.

The reason rule of law, democracy and civil liberties won out over totalitarianism after World War two is that those values turn out to produce societies that have more economic power. Not that they're inherently morally superior, although I know what sort of society I'd prefer to live in. I'm ignoring for the moment that the Soviet Union was one of the victors; they wouldn't have been if the USA hadn't been shipping them an incredible amount of home-produced weapons and equipment. It's hard to understate the power of the incentive of retaining most of the value of the valuable thing you created.

Regarding Ukraine, if we accept the extreme view that the USA in fact deliberately managed to goad Putin the idiot into making the biggest strategic mistake of the 21st century (invading Ukraine), the mistake is still on Putin. I'll agree it wouldn't have been a nice thing to do, but the moral calculus isn't easy to untangle. Wars are hell, but I have no illusions about what moral transgressions Russia is capable of, and an expanding empire with great power is certainly not a force of great net good in the world. Maybe it could be a net force for good in general, just by default, if the progress of civilization does not stagnate. But it certainly could stagnate and make a net negative. And it's hard to believe it would do a better job than a civilization with great individual freedoms.

If the most important questions of the world are greater quality of life for everyone, sustainably, then Western values certainly play a role in achieving that. But the calculus would be a challenge to figure out. The majority of the world's population doesn't live in liberal democracies, after all. Most scientific and engineering achievement has come from liberal democracies, but it's not completely obvious if that's just because what became the liberal democracies had a big head start with industrialization.

I would rather see that carbon sequestered in a landfill or at least used in an incineration power plant. What is the point of just releasing the CO2 into the atmosphere with no benefit?

One possible use case would be to release it into the wild to break down plastics in the oceans. But I guess that requires a bit of validation first...
If a spectrum is just a range of numbers, then the idea of spectrum should apply to many phenomenon. Many things can be described by a number. So, when matrix spectrum and atomic spectrum were formulated, perhaps spectrum was a word that was in vogue to describe a quantity. I think this is the explanation of the reason the same term is used for both. Because many connected phenomenon can be quantified. I know only a little about matrix spectrum and atomic spectrum, so take my thought with a grain of salt.

Jetstack Helps Turn Security Policies into Actions
That's how digital audio was originally recorded to tape back in the 1970s and 80s: encode the data into a broadcast video signal and record it using a VCR.

In the age of $5000 10 MB hard drives, this was the only sensible way to work with the 600+ MB of data needed to master a compact disc.

That's also where the ubiquitous 44.1 kHz sample rate comes from. It was the fastest data rate could be reliably encoded into both NTSC and PAL broadcast signals. (For NTSC: 3 samples per scan line, 245 scan lines per frame, 60 frames per second = 44100 samples per second.)
Thanks. The argument was, that Wirth's original language designs were less successful than the extenden versions designed by others, e.g. Boarland. The original designs are undoubtedly sufficiently expressive to build things of decent size, but apparently too little attractive for wide adoption. Not surprisingly, variants of all Wirth languages have quickly emerged; in the case of Oberon, for example, these are Oberon-2 by Mössenböck or Component Pascal by an ETH spin-off.

> I agree with the author but I believe applicants to anything in the US really need to be aware of their label and whether or not they are in a “protected class”.

If a person is not in a protected class, is regular middle class, doesn’t join the military, what should they do? Well if they are “playing the game” they’re going to join the easiest protected class to get into. Its misaligned incentives but that’s life.

For Slack we're making all threads private and we follow update and deletion immediately.

For Discord we follow deletion after a day since we are doing a nightly sync for the time being.

Privacy is one of our main priorities since I get that we're taking something that felt private into something that will be persisted on the internet. Here is a few ways we are/planning on addressing this:

* We only store profile image, user id and display name for the user so we don't keep email or personal identifiable information

* We just shipped a new feature where we can anonymize the display name so it is even less identifiable - i.e. with names like `many-ancient-parrot`, `adventurous-billowy-kangaroo`, and `benedict-cumberbatch`.

* Right now we sync everything but very soon we are shipping features where communities can only sync from the new conversations.

* Upon request we delete all the users's messages and conversations based on the user ID. We're shipping new where the community admin can delete conversations themselves in the coming weeks.

* We allow community admins to decide which channels to show or hide since some communities choose to create new channels so it is clear that the conversations going forward here are public.
Estimate cloud costs by parsing Terraform HCL code
I came to post precisely the same thing. Many pathogens cause pneumonia, and many elderly die from it as an end of life cause of death similar to heart failure. The fact not once did they break our flu - a specific type of virus - and pneumonia - a catch all for inflamed lungs - makes me suspect they’re stretching the stats to make some point not supported by the data.

They also distinguish between covid / flu and pneumonia cause of death and contribution to death. Whereas cause of death covid is reportedly 4x more likely, contribution they’re roughly at parity. But this one is where pneumonia being included gets really iffy. Pneumonia is extremely common as the body shuts down and often helps hasten death in a favorable way. It should be expected to find signs of pneumonia in people at end of life.

The flu vs covid is the meaningful benchmark and this is hogwash IMO.
Right, I’m actually not convinced that it’s possible to have functions (or relations) as fundamentals without presupposing a concept of sets (domains/codomains) in the first place.

But assuming that it is possible (as the GP believes), my feeling is that relations would be more general, maybe similar to how graphs are a more general concept than directed graphs. Representing relations as functions to power sets feels rather complex to me compared with functions being a special type of relation, which is why I would find the latter more natural. And thus I was wondering whether the GP maybe has a good reason to go with functions rather than relations.

The NY Attorney General successfully prosecuted the parent company of Tether and Bitfinex.

That doesn't necessarily mean that Tether's assets are less than its debts. I don't know the details. I just know that the NY Attorney General finds their activities to be shady.

I think it was a reference to the crossover between "punk" and a DIY ethic.

Although, in fairness, the concept of "punk" has meant so many different things to so many people. One person's punk is about arrogant rebellion and breaking shit. Another's is about giving a more metaphorical "middle finger" to expectations and striking your own path outside of the more commercial/disposable monoculture.

> Everything I've read on organic farming and permaculture _nearly always_ yields higher per acre output

_nearly always_

Your second assertion is accurate:

> organic farming yields are lower when comparing against most conventional agriculture

I didn't at any stage say "we couldn't properly feed everyone fruits / veg using organic agriculture" - maybe you're mixing me up with some other commenter. What I do think is that currently we are not in a position where we could feed the world's population only with organic (not just fruit and vegetable - grains, meat etc also).

Parts of Africa are facing grain shortages due to disruptions in the supply in Ukraine. This shows how tight supplies are.

Those chemicals ( and I'm no fan) do enable a massive increase in yields. There's no "simply" - I agree with you that a move away is desirable, but it is far from simple or easy.

Grinnell alum here - our first CS class is in Scheme. I expected the class would be a breeze because I already had a few years of programming experience in Java/Python in highschool. Turns out that lisp is way different, and I was about as challenged as people with 0 programming experience. At first most of us were annoyed at having to learn an esoteric language without real 'industry' use, but by end of semester we all were super into it. It helped that our curriculum focused on fun problems like using recursion to draw things using a faculty/student developed scriptable gimp library.

Ask HN: Exempt/Salaried Employees and Jury Duty
My company has asked me to take PTO for the workweek I will be assigned to Jury Duty (California).

This is a little puzzling to me, as I am a salaried/exempt employee.

Based on my (limited) understanding of this, my salary should not be cut or deducted while I am on Jury Duty -- for the same reason that I don't get paid overtime for working late and/or being on-call.

Can someone with knowledge of this chime in?
They're phrasing it that way for sensationalism.

I am personally not up to speed on the scientific evidence, but I've heard a lot of people are worried about microplastics in the ecosystem, especially getting into human bodies via the food chain. Breaking plastics down completely could potentially fix this.
