I have found that if you're good at what you do, companies would like you to keep doing it. That limits the potential for growth into new positions.

I'm not particularly good at office politics, and corporate performance management is pretty useless. Moving jobs is how I have maximised my growth, experience and pay.

However, that doesn't necessarily mean that this is the right thing to do in this case. Understanding why no pay rise was given is a huge learning opportunity. I would certainly take no pay rise as a signal that the company wasn't happy in some way. Knowing why that is would be very helpful for personal development, whether staying or moving on.

It would help to approach from the position of wanting to improve and asking if improvement in any areas are needed. Maybe they don't have good reasons, maybe they do and were too scared to tell someone known to be abrasive. A bit of humility goes a long way.

Many years ago someone taught me the value of learning from my mistakes. It's not enough to just acknowledge your mistakes, or apologise for them, which is difficult enough. Then you have to do something about it.

Yes, the Netherlands have a large amount of single family homes without the need for American-style suburbs. Over 56% of all Dutch citizens own at least one house, 69% of all residential buildings are owned by the people living in them. Those houses are mostly not oversized like American houses and have less land attached to them. For comparison, the home ownership rate for the US is about 65.3%.

Everything points to the American way of doing housing and infrastructure is wrong and could be done cheaper and easier if American city planners were to look at other parts of the world.
> an international wire done in less than 2-5 days

Uh... What? Every time I transfer money from my US bank account to my European bank account it's the same story. I put in the transfer at Chase, they go "Oh, sorry, the bank is closed now because it's after 3pm in New York, because that's apparently still a thing, but we'll transfer it first thing tomorrow morning."

At 6am New York time or whatever, their shitty batch job runs, and seconds later the money is available to me in my EU bank account.

A couple of hours later I then get an email from Chase telling me that the money has been sent and I should anticipate it in about three business days.

You don't know what you don't know, and most Americans simply have no idea how much US banks suck in an international comparison. SWIFT transfers are instant when your bank doesn't suck.

Made an HN account just to reply to this.

I went to school in Kathmandu, Nepal and graduated high school in 2016. Currently I work as a programmer in NYC.

99% of my teachers were sadistic assholes who’d be in prison for child abuse in any first world country. I’d be rountinely beatup physically for not doing homework, for disturbing class, for not doing well in tests etc. Once in 7th grade, I was spanked on my thighs by a teacher so bad I could not walk for 3 days. In 2nd grade by headmaster beat me up with a cricket bat on my shoulders and back for not finishing half of my English homework. And I was one of the better students (average B+ equivalent) , a lot of my fellow classmates had it worse than me. Specially the ones who had a different mothertongue (not Nepali). This is mostly cultural. Often parents would tell teachers to punish kids more because their grades were not good enough. Most parents including mine were equally abusive at home. I remember the utter, frothing rage of teachers who would go fully ballistic at kids for the minorest offense.

Regardless of culture, I believe the system attracted the worst of worst (those who can’t, —- teach) scum of the society who would find pleasure in hurting the helpless. You might think this is an outlier case but this is still the norm for the majority in Nepal and I believe a lot of third world countries.

After attending college in the states, I was diagnosed with ADHD, which no one knows about back home. It has taken me years in therapy to make peace with this and I’m still filled with horror and rage when I think about it. I don’t know what I can do about this, but my heart breaks when I think of hundreds of thousands of kids who are still going through this.

There were a couple (literally 3) teachers I fondly remember who were kind and tried to make their subjects interesting. But they were the exception.
The author of the article was saying that Github was toxic and I personally do not see an issue tracker as a social feature.
And yet Systemd represents the biggest advancement for Linux in decades.
The tone of the article is enough to immediately make you doubt the veracity of the author of the article. The writing drips of sarcasm and vitriol. The comment about unmuzzling Trump as the reason he wants to spend tens of billions of dollars is complete conjecture and to be frank insulting to the intelligence of the reader. If the author is trying to convince anyone who doesn’t already hate Elon Musk, they failed miserably.

Using Firefox all the time ... Brave seems also to be a reasonable alternative. But I just don't like the Dev tools in Chrome ... The FF ones are way better (IMHO).
At the end it seems so that FF isn't blocking a lot of tracking by default while Brave do so. But FF with uBlockOrigin is a good match for privacy.
I think he means "covering/about iOS" with the use of the word "over".
This is incorrect. You're confusing an estimator (the CPI) with the actual quantity being estimated (inflation). For example, the GDP deflator, which is another estimator of inflation, is not a weighted average.
I mean anyone can catch up.

It's not like Tesla sells 1 million this year, and then 2M in 2023...256M in 2030. Volkswagen, the whole group, not just the specific marque, sells ~10million cars a year.

Manufacturing isn't trivial or anything but there's a ceiling above which marketing/sales becomes the limiter.

I wouldn't touch Edge because I still remember the days when IE was dominating the market. As much as I despise Google being the one now, I do not miss those days and do not trust Microsoft to do anything good if they were in this position again.
So you can make fun of people concerned about privacy, but history proved there's a lot more concerns to have regarding Microsoft

In the OP's case, the _why_ can be encoded in function names. For example:

onChange={handleDateChange}
/>
);
}

function preventDialogFoobarFromClosing(event) {
event.preventDefault();
}
Aurora Serverless v1 has cold boot times of ~30 seconds when scaling up to zero, which precludes it from being a viable option for most usecases
I block early, block often. Keeps my feed manageable. But that's an entirely different thing than the company itself deplatforming people based on supposed "misinformation." Twitter banned doctors who suggested COVID was airborne in 2021, and public health professionals who called for universal mask wearing in 2020. Being able to voice counter-narrative or non-mainstream opinions is exactly how science and society progress, and how we keep our elected governments in check. If Twitter is indeed the "new public square"[1] then I think Elon has a solid argument for keeping it open to all as a free speech platform.

[1] I don't think this is true, btw. Twitter is a bubble, like Reddit and HN. It just happens to be a bubble that includes a bunch of politicians and world thought leaders. But only a quarter of US adults are on Twitter, and many of them use it for niche purposes too.

The argument is lead by a common misconception. Growth comes from only new resources but in reality it also comes from efficiency gains. And efficiency gains are not limited.
Personally I think the custom dsl’s are a bigger issue. I spend a lot of time wrangling tf to have reusable, configurable modules.

The more i use tf, the more i think it would be better to remove _all_ dynamic features and use a real language to generate tf configs as flat, static files.
so why are you asking then?

I honestly want to ditch Firefox and try a Chromium browser for a minute [1], but I'm stuck on Firefox because it's the only one with a killer feature: send a tab to/from iOS and my Linux desktop.

I skip Chrome and Edge for privacy reasons, Brave have a crappy and buggy sync feature that I don't know what OSes it supports, but not my combination. Can't send tabs with them. Vivaldi doesn't have an iOS port. Impossible to do with Chromium.

Firefox can send tabs to all my machines, and I use that feature multiple times daily, such as finding a cool article while I'm sitting on the couch and sending it to my desktop so I can read it later. Mr. Eich, if you're around here, please please fix syncing tabs in your browser, it's the only thing stopping me from switching honestly.

1: I quite like Firefox, but it's in a dying spiral, and I'm starting to see broken sites. The Web is such a complicated nightmare "protesting" won't change anything, and forking neither, because it's too bloody complex. Chromium has won. Our only hope is Mozilla takes their head out of their arse and start working on their browser instead of faffing about and making small, meaningless changes every release, but I don't see that happening any time soon.

I had this public records on my credit for close to 8 years now and I have always worried about it until I got to work with VIRTUALHACKNET @ GMAIL .COM , My Paul which was one of the hackers in the team was so nice to me , his listening ears to my issues gave me hope at first even before getting into work with their team , In just 5 weeks they were able to get the records erased and my credit score boosted to 815 as well ..

Can we set our own logical replication? I'm listening to the WAL the same way Supabase does it: https://github.com/cpursley/walex#logical-replication
This is Mehrdad, the Co-Founder of Selldone (Selldone = Sell + Done!)

In 1900 starting a business was easy and affordable. But today, thanks to digital transformation, it's costly and time-consuming. It shouldn't be! That's why we have built Selldone.

In short, Selldone is a Business OS where entrepreneurs can create ecommerce stores for selling online and offline. Whether you build hand-made products or provide pet care services, sell coaching courses or gift cards, Selldone suits all your needs to visually set up, manage, and scale your business!

Story behind our startup:

My colleague Alireza and I have been friends for 16 years + 12 years of partnership in our startups. The most tedious work in all of them was setting up and managing an ecommerce (Login, install a bunch of plugins, templates that were always broken after a while, waking up at 2 AM site were down and ...)! In 2018, we started building a dedicated ecommerce for our previous company, something that is impossible to ruin! ...2019...2020... We met guys who had the same problem! We demoed our shopping management panel to them, and they loved it. They needed "An online shop that always works like a Swiss watch! Simple to work, fast, and scalable!" That was the seed of our next startup.

Is Selldone another ecommerce platform?

No. We follow a fresh approach; no plugins and no template install are needed. All you require are pre-integrated in Selldone, such as Stripe for Payment, Shippo for Shipping, and many more features exclusively by Selldone.
We have provided a wide range of tools to help you set up, sell and manage your business, from Selldone POS for in-store selling to page designer for building catchy pages.
Tree style tabs is what brought me over. I have dozens of tabs I want to keep an eye on, without necessarily having them actually open and loaded. Kinda like bookmarks but quickly available. There's no way to arrange that many tabs across the top, so a bit of CSS magic removes the top tabs. With modern screens being so wide it makes sense to just have them vertically, in a tree.
I really like the diagrams in the article. How did you create them? Did you use a specific tool?
I'm always curious about the use case of having so many open tabs. Is there some context you work in where so many tabs are needed? Are you able to find already open tabs, or do you just end up with 50 hacker news tabs because you just open new ones? Do you actually look at each tab, or do you open in the background and never load them? Are you using extensions to make tabs management easier, like tree style tabs?

Once I get past 40 or so I purge old tabs because it makes it hard to find others I'm actively using. Besides, opening a tab again isn't a huge burden.
Firefox user for about five years and very satisfied with it.

Firefox's multi account containers are very useful - when I started using them a few years ago I very quickly noticed that my Web searches stopped showing up in Amazon or as FB ads, and vice versa.

And just generally not using a browser that is aligned with the interests of a global advertising company seems like a good thing.

A stablecoin with 1400% yearly return is ipso facto anything but stable. It purports to return 1400%. Exponentially not viable seems more apt. Or just shortcut it and call it a scam outright.
Using ACL2 to Teach Students About Software Testing
The assumption seems to be made that the higher the number the less work one would want to do.

>prioritise hanging out with my loved ones, whilst experimenting with ideas and exploring nature.

These type of things can be regarded as out-of-reach sometimes due to insufficient funds which just seem to put a damper on everything.

OTOH, growing up in a retirement community non-work pursuits were widely appreciated as a reward of a life well lived.

Things like this really permeated the culture where people were supposed to actually have sufficient money before they moved there.

It was a bit of a common denominator from people on low Social Security fixed income, up to the minority of those having over $100m.

Without money as a student I would say it was even more enjoyable than for the over-65 crowd at the time.

After decades of work in a completely dissimilar industrial environment, I have no intention of joining the crowd.

For each $1m I would select an additional proof-of-concept or prototype and turn it into an opportunity for an engineer or other operator to co-operate on a sustainable full-scale creation.

This could go on forever.

They would be doing most of the work, but I would not be pursuing a work-free life yet myself.

Without these millions I could always just pick one proven technology and do it myself. Even though I've already done a lot. Not a work-free choice either.

Still making up my mind while I contiunue to put money in to Social Security.
You heard "B's get degrees"?

I always heard it as " C's get degrees" because grad schools look for B average or above (3.0+)

At least that's most of the grad schools I've looked at
I questioned it also but I guess tabs have become the replacement for bookmarks. AFAIk both chrome and Firefox have a search function specifically for open tabs so for some it's easier to track and store sites that way, especially since the browser can handle it well enough.

It's not my preference as I like having a clean browser window; too many tabs is distracting and it's harder for me to contextualize what work I'm focusing on (windows + tabs for tasks is my preference), but I can see how it works for some.

This is exactly why I left to a smaller town. Once I was fully remote, there was nothing keeping me from seeking out better prices for housing, better schooling for my children, and better streets to walk down.
This demonstrates why a company selling a commercial product is a poor substitute for an open standard.
I am really grateful. My partner happily told me a few moments ago, "Go to Analytics and see the traffic !! What happened!!!?"

Also, I posted a short description of my startup and the story behind it. Again Thanks with respect for you.
Trends come and go. I too use terraform now because that is what my customers use.

Previously we have used Ansible for the same thing, in a largeish environment, in production. It had the obvious benefit of declarative and stateless.

The other comments here seem to focus on how that works badly together with manual state changes made externally from the system. The answer is that it requires another way of working where the state is the git repo. The question is not what to do when someone spawns extra test nodes, but why they did not do it in a version controlled manner.

Perhaps as a reaction to the discipline required, something about Kubernetes attracted a lot of people used to manipulating state by manual interaction. Every installation I have seen has a web interface in use, whereas not as many have in the Ansible world. I fully expect this pendulum to swing back and become more declarative and version controlled again.

This is the fundamental misconception of the article as far as I understand it.

Cloud providers do not provide enough metadata to enable that mapping across all resources.
Did you give a try to https://www.terraform.io/cdktf ?

Unfortunately, it is not stable yet... but we all used Terraform <1.0 for years, and I'd say the experience was never that bad.

The only thing missing on Firefox for me is the ability to translate websites inline.

Otherwise Firefox+ multi-account containers + proxy per container is a really nice feature

CDNs caches will only be as legit as the customers using them. And since moderating content at scale is a hard problem, one cannot assume all CDN data is legit.
> "Speedier website browsing"

I use Firefox on desktop and mobile, and I'd tend to agree with you.

Sometimes I need to open up Chrome to test something and all of the pages load noticeably faster (things like FB messenger, Google search, etc.)

It's a tradeoff I guess because the extensions on Firefox mobile are a killer feature.
That only applies to the core. The "enterprise" features are proprietary until the copyright expires.

IIRC, backup was enterprise but is now part of the core. However, restore is still enterprise.
