For the first such offense, you only get a warning. For repeat offenses, the fines and jail time ramp up fast, up to 3 months in prison for a single puddle found on your property.

Have you done any arbitrations with employee cases? Mandatory arbitration in low wage employment was the hot topic a few years ago.
don’t charge $1000 an hour, because, ultimately the fee charged must be “reasonable.“
Now, as a boy who grew up lower middle class, the idea that an hour of my time is worth $500 or more as part of these calculations is something that I still struggle with. But my rates are in line with my peers, what the system considers to be a reasonable rate, and consistent with my experience and education.
But at $1000 an hour, most judges will call BS. Again, I didn’t make the system, I’m just surviving in it

i think it will be the opposite

I think this example is quite deceptive. When setting obj.a and obj.b, what is your intention? If you want to set the instance attributes, you should have created self.a and self.b in the class constructor.

class A:
a = (1,)
b = [1,]
def __init__(self):
self.a = (1,)
self.b = [1,]

A.a # this is the class attribute
(1,)
A.b # class attribute
[1]
obj = A()
obj.a # instance attribute
(1,)
obj.b
[1]
obj.a += (2,)
obj.b += [2,]
A.a
(1,) # still the same class attribute
A.b
[1]
obj.a
(1, 2) # instance attribute appended
obj.b
[1, 2]
Counterpoint to - living in Singapore.

I'm in Singapore in a conda/apartment block where we currently have an outbreak of Dengue (spelling?) fever - 4/6 infections. As much as there is legislation to say - empty your buckets - its pretty ineffective when condo/apartment owners are pretty useless, having been told there are pools of water on the roof of the apartments. They just move to twice a week fogging (spraying fog into the bushes - of which we have no clue what chemicals they are using - DDT anyone?).

We haven't had any government officials come.
Hey, thanks for this. As someone who just went through this process in December, there’s a problem: my contract had a sneaky clause in it that said both parties are responsible for 50% of attorney fees.

Meaning that $50k judgement would become a $25k bill.

Yeah, I was sad to realize that.

But! Your advice is absolutely worth taking anyway. I did, and the company paid me the moment I said I was starting the arbitration process. It was a bluff, and sometimes you need to be willing to bluff.

On the other hand, I was so upset at them that I might’ve just gone through the process regardless. So I guess it helps if you yourself aren’t sure whether it’s a bluff, since they definitely won’t know either.
They be kinda-sorta bought indirectly.

You earn channel points every x minutes you're watching the stream. However, paid subscribers earn more channel points at every interval.

There is a reason why there exists an entire "landing page industry" because there is a level of science and art mixed into building it.

If you think it's visually stunning without being informative or just pure information without attention-grabbing visuals, then you'll fall on either side of the hill.

Then there are other factors including your target audience, copy-test, sentiment, color combinations etc.

I've build many landing pages in my life time and I am not sure if I still get it. If you are optimizing for HN-audience, I would say it also requires a different strategy (e.g. demo first without signing up?)
The correct answer is described here:

TL;DR (Spoiler alert): the expected value of the amount of money you end up with is an infinite series whose sum changes depending on the order in which you add up the terms, and so you can choose an order that makes this value come out to be positive, negative, or zero.

But negotiation is not a game of gotcha. It’s not as though you get a number, and then pull a rabbit out of the hat to get a bigger number. “But see this.”

You make a demand, and you justify it based on the facts and law, and then you stick to it or make minor concessions until you reach your end result.
Are we the last generation to learn skills?

It would be nice actually to not have to have skills only tangentially or coincidentally relevant to the task. Our skills are often a thing in itself, e.g. you may know how to write SQL, but what you really want is to run (or to help run) a business. Is writing SQL a skill? Yes. Is it relevant to what you really want? Barely. The same for washing brushes, setting up routers, cutting vegetables.

We drown in ourself invented complexity and are scared of the perspective of living a true life. Those who were sleeping cogs will wake up. Those who want to do SQL will do it anyway, as a hobby. But what will they do to make a living? Haha, why would we bigcorps and elites even care. You’ll do something, maybe. We just have to make sure you can’t riot.
It's really tough (impossible) to think/work/act your way out of being burnt out. You need to reset, recharge, and then rebuild.

And from the very limited information here - you sound burnt out.

I don't know of many more longer term solutions aside from taking time out (and a lot of it, probably a vast amount more than people estimate). Obviously there is the exercise, sleep, floss, friends, family, pets, etc, etc. And I'd recommend that deeply. But that can be hard to effectively build without the battery having a decent amount of charge.

Not everyone can just peace out for a month, or 6, or a year. It's an enormous privilege to be able to do so. But take what you can.

Best of luck.

To add to this, my Emacs never crashes but at least once a week I'll run an innocent command (sometimes just opening magit) and it will become unresponsive indefinitely, with the only way of closing it being sending a kill command from the terminal.
We should also bear in mind, outside of what you're saying, the flip side.

I have seen so many contracts with unenforceable clauses, made up gibberish, illegal demands. Then a fancy pants "if any part of this contract is unenforceable, the rest shall remain in effect" or some such.

Two things here.

First is? While I have seen courts toss the whole contract regardless, mostly because key invalidated clauses unbalanced the contract, I'd like to see this legislatively made illegal. Why?

Because second thing is, I've seen companies write contracts knowing some clauses are unenforcable, but putting them there to scare, to intimidate.

Literally, it is an attempt to play "their game". Especially with ridiculous terms of service, eg, not a real contract in most parts of the world.

So don't play their game. Don't presume the contract is valid, or legal, especially when the balance of power is unequal.
I do the same, it works the world over. Especially if you go the extra mile to learn to say "I am learning, but your language is challenging and I know you will have a better command of English" which serves to flatter and gets you great service.

Always defer is a bad idea because some packages are required at startup or look for variables defined at startup (which is why `:init`) is a thing. Also, `:ensure t` only installs what is not installed at startup, but it does so only once and the following updates are to be made by hand. Once this is done, it does not try to install the packages anymore unless you remove them. This is how you get both fast startup and feature availability. Agreed on not using `always-ensure`, there are builtin packages that do not need it and will error out, this is why you should `:defer` and `:ensure` yourself.
That and requiring email verification before you even ask their name or any other signup information.

This is basically an outliner[0]. Looking around the page i didn't see any graphics, only text. At the past i wrote a text-only outliner[1] which while very useful, i eventually found the need to embed images, change text styles, etc and the only way to do it would be to basically rewrite 90% of it (so i never bothered) as it was written explicitly for console/text mode. Since you are using graphical output, i'd recommend to check what sort of non-text functionality you can add (checkmarks, progressbars -which IMO are inferior to percentages anyway-, etc aren't really taking advantage of graphics, i refer to things like images or even videos, text styling, etc).

Yeah, as a form of friendly feedback, there's something vaguely untrustworthy-looking about the website, like a malware site. Actually as I think about it, there is an uncanny valley phenomenon to me, but in a malware site sense.

To me it has something to do with the typeface choices, and/or the text layout. My eye drifts to the text in the upper left quadrant.

Lack of actual photos is maybe another thing but for me personally there's more to it than that.

Laws preventing people eating out of garbage cans seems to indicate that there are people who feel compelled to do so, presumably because the system has failed them terribly.

How does an inner city lefty being against such a law (which just seems to be criminalizing extreme poverty), put them in league with the people who don't want a social safety net and so are placing people in that very situation?

Edit: I may have misunderstood your comment, but it sounds like maybe you were saying your contract with the defendant company required that you pay 50% of attorneys fees. If that’s the case, it would depend on details, but there would be a lot of arguments to make that not applicable.

Edit 2: Confirmed (see comment above)
global level:

- unionizing

- union vote against signing IP assignment

- royalty agreement (like in music business)

- state legislation to make IP transfers between individual and corporation illegal

on individual level:

- refusing to sign IP assignment

He asked for $1800 and accepted 80% plus the $200 filing fee, so he got back $1640, so it cost him around $360. --I'm guessing his deductible would have been in the $100-200 range, so, yeah, he ate $160-260 rather than spend the time going through arbitration, but it's perfectly fair for him to consider the cost of his time in determining whether or not it made sense to continue fighting.

In the end he still comes out ahead since it looks like a normal sized electric water heater runs around $500 plus the cost of installation and repairing any damage from the leaks.
I was going to write a diatribe on rusts great features, but I don't have time.

Please go try rust, not for its memory safety but for all of its other qualities that make it better than c++ in my book.
Go is successful for similar reasons as Java.

- Backed by a well known Company with a good image (at the time).

- Made by well known experts at the top of their field.

- Most of the risky, complex and powerful stuff is in the runtime.

- The language surface is small, familiar, conservative and consists of mostly orthogonal features.

- Very straightforward to integrate libraries and a good standard library.

- Portability and deployment are primary concerns.

- Came out at just the right time.

- Evolves without breakage.

There are significant differences between those languages, for example the JVM is a much more dynamic runtime. But I think the conservative surface paired with powerful internals is what makes it so attractive for wide adoption. It is the "blue collar" language strategy.

Languages that have more unique value propositions, lean stronger on niche paradigms and give more power to the programmers are scarier from a mainstream business perspective. I think these kind of languages have a firm stand in their respective niches and will continue to grow steadily, but will stay specialized and at the edge, while mainstream languages slowly adopt features that have been proven to work in other ecosystems.

Go is a language that belongs to the mainstream category, like Java, C#, JavaScript, Python etc. They are "Worse is better" languages that trick you into adopting some good stuff unknowingly and they all have a laser focus on pragmatism and growth.
hmm, I don't really see where the probability of 50% comes from? even if we assume that we don't have any contextual knowledge about what amounts would typically be carried in wallets, the probability of winning would surely have to depend in some way on the amount currently in my wallet? in the extreme case, if I had zero cash, my probability of winning (not just drawing) would be zero, since we can't carry negative amounts of cash.

When I say or hear "JSON Object", I assume the meaning is "Data of the sort that could be serialized and deserialized to JSON".

In being so common, JSON implicitly specifies a type of data model, and most other similar serialization formats seem to be supersets of it.

It also(at least to me) implies that the object is very dynamic.

A json object is usually something self describing. You can add a key without any kind of protobuf type recompile step.

Maybe you can even extend a protocol with nonstandard keys if you're careful about collisions.

And it's meant to be sent over freeform channels like json or msgpack, and constrained (at most) by a schema.

It's not quite technically correct, but I'm not sure what else carries the same common meaning. Perhaps "JSON-like data"?
That's true though kind of an implementation detail. Conceptually x += y is always x = x.__iadd__(y), and x can have its own semantics for what iadd does. Conventionally that is that mutable objects modify themselves in place and return themselves, while immutable objects create a new object and return that.

This behavior for list and tuple is familiar from regular local variables. Together with the fact that obj.x = ... always means "create or rebind an instance variable" never "rebind the A.x class variable", I think the example is less surprising.

A lot of people have problems with Israel, but when the Republicans accuse Democrats of being anti semites when they bring them up, the criticisms get muted quickly, at least in American politics. I don’t understand Germany politics that well, but perhaps Israel is off limits because of history.
Can confirm they did NOT validate me during early voting.
Bear with me here because there is some validity to your point and I think it manifests in the current technology. One oddity with copilot is that it invents CSS class names. E.g. if I say:

//a full screen image centered vertically and horizontally, no more than 80% screen height, which removes when you click anywhere, include the CSS in the code

It does actually write some style sheets into the JS...but it then invents a bunch of class names. I went over and opened a CSS doc to see if it would complete those. It didn't, not properly. There's no way this thing can write an intelligently designed application, at present; someone has to read and fully understand everything it spits out. To the extent that we need people to do that, to interpret the AI's guidance, I guess, the priesthood is safe.

But who will train for it, what trainee will understand the language, when the first 99% of what you write is written for you?

That happens to me too. My suspicion is that the sign ups are happening via telephone and the agent handling the sign up is fucking up the spelling or leaving off the disambiguating elements, digits or whatever.
Never got into the employment context. But wage and hour cases (FLSA) have made many a rich lawyer.

I will say, while I am generally not anti-arbitration, I do think it has its limits, and when it is used as a tool to suppress information that should be out in the public, I am completely opposed to it.

The Example I often use are cases where an individual is suffering severe sexual-harassment. If that person is forced into arbitration, unable to share their story (confidentiality required), and hamstrung in prosecuting their claims by the arbitration process, that’s a losing situation for the entirety of society.
Not sure if that would be good enough for you, but:

1. There's some syntax for importing files "raw" as strings; I don't recall details now from memory, but it's used extensively e.g. to load contents of .patch files. So you could have an Org file and get it imported.

2. I suspect there's some "smart wrapper" (so-called "module") for emacs in home-manager; it could conflict with your one. But using the "modules" is not mandatory; you can just have h-m put raw files in your ~/.emacs/ dir or whatsit, and add emacs in your $PATH. The thing that may be most tricky would be plugins - sure doable, but could need some nontrivial work. Alternatively, you could try seeing if the emacs module has some "extraConfig" field or something similar, and plug your literate Org there.

It is dangerous to make such decisions in advance on behalf of people not yet born. My wife was born in the 1980s with a rather problematic heart condition. She is now completely fine aside from a few things she cannot do. I am glad that she is alive and that we were able to meet.
My guess would be that we will have much more software developers than we have now. This technology reduces cost of development so more development will happen. Maybe much much much more. Everyone who is now underserved due to high prices will have custom software development in-house. Why: because it gets much cheaper in terms of man hour to write software.

I don’t think that we reach soon a point where all worthwhile softwares are already written. It will be much more like building construction where you teardown and rebuild after some decades to get a modernised version.
I was thinking a lot of John Henry today; you make a good analogy.

His example is someone who's mother tried to kill him.

> And I said to him, "I know the story. I've read the records. I know that she tried to kill you." I said, "But I've always wondered whether you really actually remember that." I said, "I don't remember anything from when I was five years old. Maybe you just remember somebody telling you."

The $100 valve-turning story never quite worked for me and I finally figured out why.

It's not that you're paying him $100 for the expertise to know which valve to turn, it's that there's no one standing next to him who could reliably for $50 or even for $99 know which valve to turn.

You're not paying for his expertise so much as for the scarcity of his expertise.
