I use this method and experience a few of the same drawbacks, like remembering email + password per service - A password manager does make it doable. (Highly recommend KeepassXC[0])

However, contrary to OP I enjoy these somewhat awkward situations where someone doesn't quite understand my email address. I find it can naturally lead to a conversation about privacy and data protection and I'm happy to spread the awareness, if someone is interested.

But aren't 200 sq ft apartments banned because they are unlivably small? The guys who enacted that should take a look at Tokyo and Seoul, and maybe actually listen to the reasons of people who rent tiny apartments there.
Apple? They might not be remote friendly but I've only heard stellar things about wlb. Amazon though, and any musk properties are notoriously run like sweatshops. Yeah maybe TSLA isn't massively overvalued and equity will continue to push that TC to the top tier, but call me a skeptic.
> Rawls is the guy who is probably most responsible for corruption of the word "justice", which used to mostly mean "the proper administration of law".

Oh, you mean before Aristotle? Yeah, those Orwellian Greeks... and Buddhists, and Muslims and that damned Confucius. Plato should have died with Socrates, I agree. Down with the gadflies!
This presentation is pretty bad, there should be more context, some kind of color scheme or labels instead of text in the background, spacing between the languages represented, other benchmarks than the geometric mean, etc.

You have unreinforced concrete riddled with holes, in a shape designed to depend on the steel. It won't last nearly as long as a structure designed with unreinforced concrete in mind.
Mine is first@fullname.com. Most just accept it (all when I visit California, maybe that's your experience?), but I do get queried about it from time to time in my home country
We’re talking about the same thing.

Someone that joined as a new grad 5 years ago would be a millionaire today. If they had been selling along the way, maybe even wealthier than if they had held on till this moment.

You are severely underestimating the absolutely meteoric rise that $TSLA has had. Even a single $100K initial grant (low even for a new grad at the time) a few years ago would be worth north of a million.
This is a horrible take. Huemer dismisses the risk way too quickly despite risk being a tremendous, possibly most important, concern in microeconomics. The goal is still to maximize utility, but subject to certain constraints within a certain level of risk tolerance. I'm not sure why this would be so controversial within the realm of ethics when it is widely accepted in economics.

Maximin is also pretty widely accepted in software engineering (though modified to use percentiles) since the 99th percentile response time is much more important than the average response time.
Hardware-heavy companies (e.g. a lot of the new space companies) need the level of investment that you can only really get from public markets, but are still quite small companies from the perspective of people here. For example, they might be less than 100 employees but still need half a billion dollars to procure satellite testing and launch services to scale up a constellation they're launching. SPACs have been useful for this purpose.

So have governments. The entire US space industry has to be viewed in terms of budget reductions for federal aerospace, in terms of privatization.
I'm quietly waiting for my IT department to swoop in and chastise me for downloading and running it. Worth it.
The title made me expect some argument about endlessly spinning up cloud resources, which I was ready to pull apart.

Instead, I found an argument about not building v1 with unnecessary optimizations.

Which I agree with but I didn't find anything new being said here.

What I've found _is_ worth investing in early on is measurement and metrics. No more blind changes, go look at the data and draw testable theories out of it. Huge quality of life improvement.
Regarding scaling while maintaining ratio, some codecs will give an error if you try to put a size that isn't a multiple of n, for example if you put -2 you'll actually have it calculate the appropriate multiple of 2.
whats the problem with using the cli in production?
Yep this is correct. Adding disparate units is almost always nonsensical. You can confirm with a scientific calculator like insect:

$ insect '5s + 10MB'
Conversion error:

Cannot convert unit MB (base units: bit)
to unit s

$ insect '5s * 10MB'
50 s·MB
Maybe it's good that it's not publicly known? If you find it, please don't post it on HN!
I've had sales and customer service ask me about this a handful of times and I simply said: 'It's a unique email address so that you guys can't sell my details or get hacked and lose my email.'

The only interaction that stick in my mind regarding this when one of the sales people asked me how they might set up their own version of catch-all domain. That's about it.

> It is optional. No amount of whining will change that.

Would you be still saying this if your power, water, phone, and internet lines were permanently cut off because some random person hacked your account(s) for them?

Those are private companies, and there are certainly people who manage to live in the woods without any of the utilities mentioned, so they are technically "optional" as well. We have schooled ourselves to think of social networks as optional, but in 2022 I'd argue that they are just as non-optional as the telephone; and perhaps even more so in certain ways. (e.g. What was the last time your local government called you over the telephone? But they are probably replying to Facebook comments.)

Hey all - I’m a former healthcare VC that’s working through a CS master’s degree at Penn with the ultimate goal of jumping into an engineering or product role. As a VC at Echo Health Ventures (http://www.echohealthventures.com) I invested in healthcare delivery businesses like Dispatch Health, Genome Medical, Heartbeat Health, and TytoCare. I helped these businesses find product/market fit, scale operations into new markets and channels, and optimize their financial planning / fundraising. Prior to Echo I was a healthcare investment banker at J.P. Morgan.

My master’s program has a flexible schedule so I’m primarily looking for an internship or “working student” role where I can start contributing to a product in a professional context. Feel free to reach out if you have a role that could be a good fit for a highly motivated graduate student with substantial real-world experience (including fairly deep healthcare domain knowledge) and a growing tech skill set.

I’m also available to serve as a formal or informal advisor to venture-backed businesses. As an ex-VC, I have lots of insight into fundraising, business planning, and product development (especially in the healthcare space). I’d love to help de-mystify VC for early startups and/or work with established teams to help optimize capital formation or product development. For this type of engagement, I’d prefer to work with folks who are local to Seattle, but I’m open to a remote arrangement as well. Reach out and we can grab a coffee or set up a zoom meeting to get introduced.

I’ve had a few good conversations with folks from last month’s thread - I look forward to chatting with you!

If that sounds like you, please apply here: https://tanooki-labs.workable.com/jobs/190522
Knowledge workers went to the office because we didn’t have the internet and computers. You had to access paper and people to get work done. That’s it. It’s not deeper than that. If Peter Drucker saw what was happening today with the Cloud / video / etc he would think it absurd to spend a ton of money on office space and hours sitting in traffic draining energy from the system.
It's okay for things to start off rough, especially depending on the context. But there's often not much excuse for things to be taken seriously and evolved.

But to be honest, I've seen this in industry as well from software developers. So maybe it's just a law of software development that's amplified in scientific software.
It increases efficiency, in the same sense as prior solutions for the same problem increased efficiency. E.g. if you write a webserver which intends to handle LOTS of active connections (5-7 digits of them), you might end up being able to handle N connections with a classic OS thread per request model (as e.g. original Apache used it).

Going to an fully async model - as used e.g. in Nginx - will allow to make it 2xN connections for the same hardware, in exchange for having to deal with a lot more complexity during implementation. Which means you can either serve 2x as much traffic, or pay 50% of hardware and energy cost for the same amount => This is the increase in efficiency.

Goig from a "low level async" (callbacks, reactor/proactor/etc) model to async/await intends to mostly keep the increase in efficiency, while making the programming model a bit more bearable and less error-prone.
Unique email @<your burner domain> per website, so you only have to remember one password for everything.

Handy for places where you need to sign-up but otherwise you don't care. I don't use this approach on "meaningful" accounts where I'd care about a breach.

I think this person's mistake was not having a memorable system for the username aspect.
> you can't just keep the total welfare spending of $1.16T [0] and smear it across the whole population

The rhetoric (idk the real stats) is that by unemploying the bureaucracy and allowing those on welfare to choose the best solutions to their problem, they will actually be net richer than by paying a case worker or whatever to dole out the checks, or food stamps etc. I'm not claiming it's true, but just repeating the fullness of the rhetoric that typically gets dropped by people who do not know the history of this flavor of UBI.

> starve, suffer costly medical expenses, and otherwise need additional support, and thus create demand for welfare afresh.

Any support for this claim? I kind of agree there will always be a need for people who are literally incapable of caring for themselves, perhaps for example might be people with down's syndrome(?)[1]

[1] IDK, dont down vote me for the example if you agree with the point that there exists some class of people incapable of caring for themselves even if fully funded.
>The reality is you can stop whenever you want you will just go back to having less energy etc.

I am not sure if you go back to your previous baseline. I know athletes who do this have forever left with way lower testosterone than their previous baseline.
Sedition Art | CTO | Full-time | Remote or Onsite | London

Hi HN! After 10 years at Sedition I'm moving on to some other ventures and looking for a replacement for my role. It's a great job at a small company that has been selling digital limited editions by World renowned artists since 2010. With advent of NFTs the digital ownership is becoming a new norm and Sedition can be at the very centre of this. It's all in your hands.

As a CTO you will work closely with CEO and lead the technical evolution of the product. We are 6 technical people so the role does not involve much management work but rather planning and hands on coding.

We expect the CTO to be a technical generalist with previous experience in a similar role.

Drop me an email at vilius at seditionart.com
I have a friend that I am watching in real time literally bankrupt themselves trying to find the golden NFT ticket that will turn them into a millionaire.

They’ve openly said as much.

If it happens I’ll eat my proverbial shoe but so far all I’ve seen come from it is them losing their job, home and college scholarship in the span of about 6 months.

It’s…tragic.
Turns out that we've been building cities wrong for the last 100 years. Whoopsie.

It took a pandemic to get people to realize that the status quo of hopping in their car and sitting in traffic twice a day to get to work and back every day is a hugely frustrating waste of time.

It doesn't have to be this way. We can build more housing near where people work. We can build bike lanes and public transit. It's entirely possible to have small and easy carless commutes to work.

> urban areas where people live closer to work have a higher return-to-office rate

No surprise here. I'll be coming back to work often I expect, but I live a 15 minute bike ride from my office. It'll be a nice change of pace for me to go to the office, and effectively an effortless shift.

We need the political will to change and stop repeating the same failed mistakes of the last 100 years that mires us in car dependency. Stop protecting SFH areas from any and all new housing development. Stop building new highways. Start creating new housing everywhere. Start creating transportation alternatives.
Correct. That's the annual amount of government created money and, while that scenario would be far into the future, we view it as our TAM. For an explainer of how that'd work, see: www.globalincomecoin.com

No, even that, logically, does not make sense from an efficiency standpoint (assuming productivity is equal). Besides, if i were a factory worker i'd rather not have the boss over my shoulder
Not a new understanding.

> Technically YAML is a superset of JSON

That's false. http://p3rl.org/JSON::XS#JSON-and-YAML
For me, what I want has changed a lot over my life. In my 20's I craved density. I loved the energy and options of cities. 30 years later, I'm the opposite. I live in the suburbs in a house big enough to give me a home gym, workshop, office, etc... but if I had a self-driving car and could get great internet, I'd move way out of the city. I want a little more space and a lot less noise.
Ask HN: Writing automations – serverless or cron jobs?
Hey Hackers,
I've got a classic conundrum on my hands: While most of my architecture is about handling events, we've got the first few requests for stuff that's happening at regular intervals, or happens a certain amount of time after an event.
One example is follow-up pings after signup. We want to tell the user about additional features in the few days after they first sign up, so we want to emit messages 48 and 72 hours after sign up.
My question is whether lightweight serverless tools feel 'ready' to do these scheduled tasks, or if you're still using cron jobs to do stuff like this.
I should say that I'm aware of a third path that turns out to be pretty common: instead of follow up messages coming from our own stack, a signup would add someone to a 'campaign' in a CRM tool like Salesforce. That feels clunky, I'm not even an admin on our CRM, so I want to do it from inside my own tools.
contact@ specifically is high up in things that spammers try when they have no leads to go on though. ~50% of my spam in my catchall comes from contact@ admin@ and similar addresses.
On other benchmarks they measure the size of source code after it's been run through compression, as a way to normalize that. Not sure if that's been done here, but it should be.

The definition of justice has been debated since at least Plato's "Republic" more than 2000 years ago.
Danger awaits all ye who enter this tutorial and have large datasets.

The tutorial is fun marketing material and all but its FAR too slow to be used on anything at scale. Please, for your sanity, don't treat this as anything other than a fun toy example.

ER wants to be an an O(n^2) problem and you have to fight very hard for it not to turn into one. Most people doing this at scale are following basically the same playbook:

1) Use a very complicated speed optimized non-ml algorithm to find groups of entities that are highly likely to be the same, usually based on string similarity, hashing, or extremely complicated heuristics. This process is called blocking or filtering.

2) Use fancy ML to determine matches within these blocks.

If you try to combine 1 & 2, skip 1, or try to do 1 with ML on large datasets you are guaranteed to have a bad time. The difference between mediocre and amazing ER is how well you are doing blocking/filtering.
