As someone working 50%, I can relate.
I answered more than 100 messages last year on LinkedIn from companies/recruiters interested in my profile, and got to the end interview part twice (the answer was always 'working half time is not possible for us', sometimes after wasting a few hours of my time...)

But I also got contacted by a recruiter that did a fantastic job. He found a company that was a great fit for me, and that had no problem with part-time.

My advice would be : answer everyone telling you're looking for a part-time position. It's long, it's difficult and it's time consuming, but it's not impossible.
Still high performance scripting though?
What engines really don't like is constantly switching between leaded and unleaded fuel. Deciding that on a per-state basis would mean you'd need a California plane that only operates in California, and another Nevada plane for Nevada. Crossing the state line would become dangerous. Cross-country GA would quickly die that way.

My favorite comment from that thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26193028)

My best comparison for arguing with such people is like playing chess with pidgeon. It will throw off pieces, shit on board and be happy that it won. And you will be appaled that it didn't follow any rules, angry maybe, but is there any use to all that arguing? They will bring you down emotionally and then you only argue to have a feeling of winning. No meritoric discussion whatsoever. In such situations, just remember, that arguing with them will NOT have any utility or lasting value, it will just waste your time and mental health.
That's moving the goal post though. The argument was "High performance != Any Scripting language", which is clearly not true.
OP is refering to the only way to get support from google or even attention. Produce keywords that flag it as a liability or lawsuit issue. \n
Ironically, highly paid lawyers are googles only reliable reachable support.\n

Sometimes when you try to gamble a system and the system can gamble you right back, you pay dearly, in this case by having highly paid lawyers do telephone support.

I think the "Paraguayan route" is very-well known to most Brazilians. However, a small FYI since you might not know this: you still have to pay import/customs fees when bringing the purchases from Paraguay into Brazil, so if you do it legally you might save very little money compared to buying domestically. Most people buying from Paraguay are smuggling (or they pay "professional smugglers" to do it for them), and that's where most of the difference lies.
They literally cut themselves out of the deal after making it. If a profile picture was important to them to the point of being necessary for a reservation, they should have insisted on me providing a profile picture before ever giving me a confirmation or charging my credit card. They were clearly implementing a dark pattern to coerce people to upload a profile picture based on a sunk cost fallacy, probably because a lot of people would choose not to use their service rather than upload a profile photo.

This will work just as well as nuclear disarmament: the ones complying would see the most disadvantages therefore nobody does it.

A game-theory-aware solution must be found. For example, a worldwide agreement with meaningful penalties for those who breach it.
Does this person have a family and kids?

I don’t see how anyone can do this unless they contribute nothing to their families or extended families.

Sounds to me like a very selfish view of life. Most people in the world have either ailing parents and/or spouse and kids to take care of.

Early Itanium included a x86 unit. Intel tried everything it could to push it.

A lot of the complexity in English comes from active use and adapting to new concepts and integrating foreign words. Hopefully Esperanto will never be in a position to suffer the same issue and join the ranks of Itanium instead.

If performance is adequate (say 1/3 of C, or 10x faster than Python), this is a big deal.

It means we get a simple, nicely designed language with a great standard library, short development times, and small, performant binaries once compiled. Go on MCUs was out of question because of its runtime size. I'll keep an eye on this.
Did you also create reverse cards? Like: Whose contry's capital is Uagadugu?
The engine’s use is to turn energy into mechanical motion, and from that we can build a variety of utility on top.

The chain’s use is to provide a secure layer for signed messages. It might be a dissident writing a message that cannot be revoked by their government; it might be a transfer of value from user A to B that is not reliant on a central clearing house to allow it; it may be a state change that represents the transfer of ownership of a digital asset like a ENS domain name alias; it might be a more complex application like USDC that enables a stable dollar-like currency to compose with the rest of the blockchain ecosystem. These are some use cases already occurring; there are other ways to achieve similar (like using PayPal instead of USDC) but all have different considerations and costs/benefits.

1) Gain access to something like a Stripe Terminal (https://stripe.com/gb/terminal) You should probably avoid using your real identity here.

2) Type in a charge like $50

3) Discretely wave the device at your targets wallet

4) Repeat steps 2-3 as much as possible in a short amount of time.

5) Hope you can withdraw the funds before anyone notices.

I don't think this is a wildly plausible attack and also at least here in the UK your targets card issuer takes 100% liability for fraudulent charges.
Which, of course, is why any sane system developer would ask the client 'How small is too small?', then have the computer ignore, say, any claims below $5 or whatever.

Or, better - accumulate claims until the sum is of a magnitude it makes sense to bill.
How you would write tests in a real project?

I suppose it's not writing out the entire program and then writing the tests, as seems to be implied. That would mean a lot of manual testing.

Or is there a Haskell REPL where you can try out small pieces before saving them?
I agree with you, the landing page is very poor, if they are trying to sell the framework to someone it need to have more clear information. Maybe they can learn from next.js, remix.run and redwoodjs landing pages.
Had to look this up after you mentioned it: https://www.rigov.org/1024/Lustron-Houses

According to that resource, even the shingles were metal.

"The promise of a home that never needs painting or maintenance has been somewhat validated after over 55 years of service. The enamel steel roof "shingles" are still keeping many Lustron residents in the dry after five decades of no maintenance."

Interesting tidbit, though!

The main directive (not the annex) states

> With respect to radio equipment capable of being recharged via means other than wired charging, the Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 44 in order to amend Annex Ia in the light of technical progress, and to ensure the minimum common interoperability between radio equipment and their charging devices, by:
(a) introducing, modifying, adding or removing categories or classes of radio equipment;
(b) introducing, modifying, adding or removing technical specifications, including references and descriptions, in relation to charging interface(s) and charging communication protocol(s), for each category or class of radio equipment concerned.’;

So the commission can adopt new standards trough a much lighter executive process. It does not require new legislation to update the standard.

Using a Smartphone to Track Erosion
Then I don't understand why you're acting like it's some vague, malformed question. The things you asked for, what the question is really asking, what problems would be solved and plausible answers are all blindingly clear.

Unless you're religious, the epistemic status of "do dogs go to heaven?" is obviously "no" (or "we have no way of knowing"). If you think the answer to "can robots experience qualia?" is equally trivial, then just say so, instead of going on some spiel about how actually the question is unclear and nonsensical when it pretty obviously isn't.
A few years ago I wanted to take 6-12 months off, just to unwind and do my own projects for a bit. But then my girlfriend moved in, cost of living went up, and I couldn't afford to dip that deeply into my reserves anymore. But I got another job too where the need to take extended time off wasn't as much of a thing, I got to do more of what I wanted to do without the BS of the company I worked at before.
That really is better.
> If you’re on Mac, Linux, or BSD, you should have a dictionary of words at /usr/share/dict/words

Why do they come with a dictionary of words?
This project is attempting to boil the ocean but I'm skeptical it can do each of these things well, considering information the dozen listed libraries don't have documentation. Including:

- D.I. https://deepkit.io/documentation/injector

- Topsort "A fast implementation of a topological sort/dependency resolver with type grouping algorithm" https://deepkit.io/documentation/topsort

- Templates https://deepkit.io/documentation/template

I'll stop there, I'm too lazy to do their work for them. Other red flags

- why is a very specific sorting algorithm bundled in?

- its claimed their RPC implementation is 8x faster than gRPC, specifically gRPC-js. Don't you think Google has the resources and the incentive to make gRPC faster? It's likely this is not an apples-to-apples benchmark.

- MongoDB ORM. It's a fine database, but it's also proxy indicator of web developers who only breath JavaScript.
- Message broker. Very opaque, but it's likely this is coupled to a very specific pubsub provider.

- API console for testing HTTP calls. This is a solved problems with tools for testing APIs like Postman. The fact that the team is trying to solve all sorts of problems, each of which is standalone product, makes feel they are trigger happy at reinventing the wheel.

- For the view layer, it seems hard-coded to Angular. That's probably a no-go unless you don't care about what component library framework you have to use.

This project seems to be a single author project. Kudos for being ambitious, but I would heed caution at trying to solve every problem all at once. Maybe lean into the ORM aspect and make that best in class first.
The ACCC's complaint [0] says that consumers in Australia were going to airbnb.com.au, to book accomodation in Australia, and were being displayed US dollar prices, marked simply as $ rather than USD or US$.

If you went to a .ca website, to book accomodation in Canada, you'd expect unadorned $ to mean C$ not US$.

In my country (Netherlands), most employers are amenable - if not legally required - to allow you to work part-time, IIRC over half the workforce here works part-time - could be 36 hours (so you get an afternoon a week off, or a day off every two weeks, or a day off if you work 4x9 hours), 32, some even work only 24 hours.

So basically it is possible, and I think in the US too you can negotiate to work less hours.

Q: Do we (still?) think that dictionary words make good choices for domain names?
There are some legit use cases:

words is a standard file on Unix and Unix-like operating systems, and is simply a newline-delimited list of dictionary words. It is used, for instance, by spell-checking programs. The words file is usually stored in /usr/share/dict/words or /usr/dict/words.

While this is still the wrong approach, better than nothing.

Why is it wrong? Because BTC still produces co2 with renewable. It competes with much more critical energy consumers like heating and day to day life.

It still produces tons of hardware garbage.

What we need is a Bitcoin mining co2 tax.

Bitcoins deconnected market needs to be connected to the normal energy market. Currently Bitcoin is competing with aluminium makers and all others but with total randomes

And before someone tells me that everyone can do with there energy whatever they want: climate change affects us all. We already have big issues but at least Bitcoin doesn't solve any with it's huge co2 footprint.

And yes you! Also need cheap aluminum heating gas for your car. Don't think you are not affected negatively by Bitcoin!

Had the same issue with Amazon AWS. They used to deduct the invoices from my bank account. But the last invoice when the project ended was only $1. They refused to do the bank deduction claiming that they only allow that for >$100. They also refused to allow alternative payment methods, because they were by definition unverified. I emailed support, they apologized profoundly via email after about a minute that they can't solve the problem. 3 months later someone finally called us back.
Not sure the origin but I have seen it used several times where random words are needed. So it certainly is handy.
If you want to do web development with Haskell beyond building a blog generator, a good starting point is IHP (https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/ https://github.com/digitallyinduced/ihp). IHP is Haskell's version of Laravel/Rails/Django. It's really a superpower to have Haskell's type system combined with the rapid development approach of Rails :) (Disclaimer: I'm founder of the company that makes IHP)
Hi all, I'm one of the founders. Our initial product was Digger.dev - a platform that makes AWS easy by automatically generating and infra-as-code (Terraform) and managing your AWS account through it.

Then we noticed that our most excited users are moving from Heroku; after speaking with them we realised that it's a hard decision, almost a leap of faith - because moving is always hard.

So we've built a user experience tailored for Heroku migration - pick your backend, pick your frontend, database yes / no; then connect your AWS account and your infrastructure will get configured automatically. Then you can add your connect Github repositories to move your app seamlessly.

Tell us what you think!

Until they degrade a lot of fishes and birds will choke to death.
Nice to know is all good with you, it's a shame though that you resorted to personal attacks and name-calling.

> This is literally called "buy vs build".

"Buy vs build" presupposes an either/or decision. Like there is no point in building an alternative once a company has decided to buy something or vice-versa. It also seems to implicate that if a company chooses to "build", that they will be taking all of the burden and costs of development to themselves.

What I'm talking about is beyond the buy/build dichotomy. What I am advocating is for companies to treat all and any systems that they depend on as a risk, and never stop looking or financing the development of F/OSS alternatives that can mitigate these risks.

This does not mean that all companies should stop using Github and implement their own source repo/CI systems. It just means that companies should look for a way to hedge their bets.

And if you think that this is something that companies do "all the time", I'd be eager to know of any, e.g, Design Agencies that support/contribute to the development of Gimp/Inkscape as insurance against their heavy dependence on Adobe Suite. Or companies (of any size) that allocate part of their budget to fund F/OSS alternatives to the SaaS solutions that they use.

> Lots of reasonable people are disagreeing because we've all experienced this

What I am seeing is "lots" of people attacking a strawman like the one you created. Maybe my phrasing was off, but my original question was "what would be the size of the team where having someone in-house to mitigate the risk of this dependency becomes clear?", and somehow this got translated (by you and others) to "why don't they just do everything in-house?".
I have always thought of advanced math as a mindset, a form of culture more than a practical skill, at least for 99% of all people. It is one of the many "useless" things that we learn at school. It is like history, literature, etc... none of these make me better at my job, at least not directly. In fact they are taught at school because they are "useless", no employer will pay you to learn which wars your country fought no matter how important it is for cultural identity.

Math is one of the basis of science and engineering, so it is important for someone to teach you that. I think we should make a bit of space for programming now, not because we will all be coders, but because it is the basis of how computers work, and computers are everywhere, and like math, programming is a good way to teach rigorous and precise thinking. Computers are stupid, they do what they are told, not what you think you told them, that make them good training material.

For me, "high-performance TypeScript framework" implies that it's high-performance compared to other TypeScript frameworks rather than high-performance period. In the benchmark pages (https://deepkit.io/benchmarks), the components of the framework are compared to other TypeScript libraries, which seems to support my theory. But your interpretation is valid too, I think. English is a second language for me so I'm not sure if this is something up for debate or not.

The EU Commission is still not a singular entity. The commissioners are not the ones doing the underlying work on these things, and so many things happens in parallel.

This was part of the EU Commission's 2020 work programme as one small sub-point among well over a hundred under one of the 43 main goals, as a secondary priority after a long list of climate and economic changes.

You're of course free to disagree with their prioritisation, but this has hardly been a major part of the Commissions work.

> The law will not take effect until 2024, and in the meantime the industry has largely moved toward USB-C / wireless charging.

Even with respect to mobile phones this excludes a certain notable holdout that accounts for a large proportion of the market, and which have kept resisting the EU push for over a decade, and a number of smaller holdouts still sticking with micro-USB.

But you'll note this extends way past phones, including to laptops where there's still a mess of different chargers.

With respect to wireless charging, it makes little difference as long as long as most people still have cables as backup (indeed I've yet to see someone use wireless charging; I'm sure a few more uses it at home, but I for one have zero devices capable of wireless charging; it will not reduce waste anytime soon)

I know for my own use, unnecessary cables and chargers still account for a large proportion of my electric waste because of the frequency of replacement, so for my part I welcome this.
