I always loved and was interested in roller coasters and how they and other rides work. Eventually I found out they are powered by PLCs. Scoured HN Who’s Hiring for PLC-related companies for many months until I finally found Copia, which is one of the most productive jobs I’ve ever had.
It’s pretty easy to take out the maximum if you’re trying to buy a home without contingency on selling your previous one. Since only the monthly payments really matter towards qualification you could be 90% paid off on your first mortgage and still need to work around the DTI limit for your second. When you sell your first everything becomes comfortable again.
Preference stack doesn’t apply if the company goes public eventually.

And point is if it’s not $0 today which I don’t think it is then someone desperate to break even could at very least sell above $1.50.
Not a great look for the cofounder to be berating small groups of employees externally - the irony of the power dynamics at play seems to be lost.

Coinbase seems like a dumpster fire. Heed the warnings of the recent announcements that your assets can be considered the company's in bankruptcy proceedings - and move your assets into hardware wallets.
I mean, theres probably more effective ways to steal from a competitor. Like sign up and book fake demo meetings with their sales team.
1: Not sure what you mean by that

2: It's possible. Some things support this for example compiz can be used to replace the running wm in place via compiz --replace.
Apple generally pay very poorly for quality of talent.

I would love to live in world where 10x engineers are rewarded 10x. Right now it's 25% better pay than median.
Poaching expresses a specific viewpoint that was challenged by the U.S. Department of Justice, https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/06/should-tech-work...

> A group of big tech companies, including Apple, Google, Adobe, and Intel, recently settled a lawsuit over their "no poach" agreement for $324 million. The CEOs of those companies had agreed not to do "cold call" recruiting of each others' engineers until they were busted by the Department of Justice, which saw the deal as an antitrust violation. The government action was followed up by a class-action lawsuit from the affected workers, who claimed the deal suppressed their wages.
The power dynamics of criticizing 3 public executives is far different than berating some employees who will most likely be fired.
25 is the standard in Canada.
Yeah, I'm not sure. Forks don't give me the same grief. Maybe it's the curved shape/entry angle.

Also, stainless steel chopsticks are needle like at the ends and have very little surface for friction to pick things up, so they're kind of dainty in that respect --I struggle to pick up a good bite.

Imagining how other founders such as Jack Dorsey or Reed Hastings would have reacted to these with tact. If the company has a transparent culture, they isn't much harm or fear for non MNPI to be discussed publicly.
> Canada solves this with a balloon payment

This doesn't sound like a solution at all, just a way to prevent actual homeownership and assuring all your residents will be debtors and essentially, renting their domicile, for life.
> The problem isn't technology. The problem is immoral people.

i think you are underestimating the power of your tools (technology) to shape you instead of the other way around... might be a good idea to read up on Marshal McLuhan and Neil Postman to get an idea what technologies and systems can do to us (as humans)

> The reason Western culture has fared so well over the last 500 years is because it was largely Christian in nature. There are fundamental values embedded in the Bible that have echoed into what we consider to be "human rights" today. These ideas are uniquely Christian in nature, and rely on a Christian morality in order to function.

human rights came from the bible? got any proof for that claim?
> Employees are airing their dirty laundry publicly.

For a reason that is not "a small group of employees suck" or "working from home sucks". It would have been important to address and embrace that.
There is a much older text book called the Art of Digital Design. In it, if you buy and solder the necessary components, you get a fully working PDP-8.
I finally settled for dwm too nearly a year ago and I really can not emphasise how big of a deal the ~2,000 SLOC of code really is. It allows you to read it all in about an hour and once you have done that you will be “elevated” from user to developer. Now instead of desperately combing through manuals and guides with a fine comb you will just go “I could implement that…” now and then, which has been a game changer in terms of how I view software.

Another commenter mentioned the lack of an extension framework and that applying patches could lead to conflicts, but I think this misses a bigger point. If you find yourself applying a ton of patches, just stop, dwm is supposed to be about minimalism and frugality, do you really need those features? I am very happy and productive with three patches: statusallmons [1] (~5 SLOC), warp [2] (~10 SLOC), and my own not-yet-public Fibonacci-style layout algorithm with a bit more features to support multi-head setups nicely (~90 SLOC). That is it! Keeping it simple may have seemed madness to me a year ago, but I think I now “get it” in terms of the freedom it brings through lower complexity, greater understanding, and thus ultimately hackability.

[1]: https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/statusallmons

[2]: https://dwm.suckless.org/patches/warp

Look at warp for a genius example of dwm simplicity. Other WMs will track the mouse pointer on a per-display basis and I was tempted to implement this for dwm, but then I tried the warp patch which is stupidly simple: move the mouse pointer to the centre of the currently focused window if it is not already inside it. No need for state and together with xbanish [3] you will always know where the mouse pointer is, yet it will not interfere with you while you work. ~10 SLOC, yet so incredibly powerful because it managed to take a novel stab at the heart of a problem.

I have seen a few casual explanations of it and I still don’t really understand it.
> The counter factual might suffer from Chesterton’s Fence. If you don’t know why the framework implemented “all sorts of things during boot up without our knowledge”, why do you believe that you wouldn’t need to do something similar if you were to rewrite similar code.

I really hate those though-terminating cliches HN loves to drop from time to time. If your Chesterton's Framework (or library) is doing anything important at all during boot (or at any time, really), it should be very well documented or extremely obvious, otherwise it's a huge security risk, period. "Random Chesterton Fence shit happening" is how we got Heartbleed (did we really need the heartbeat?). It is how we got Log4Shell (did we really needed arbitrary access to servers?). It's how we still get lots of weekly Wordpress CVE.

About the "rewrite" part: the irony is that people who would be able to "rewrite similar code" are the ones who do actually know what frameworks do during initialisation. Notice that I said "be able" instead of "dare". That's because actually writing this kinda code is non-trivial and requires previous knowledge and study.

The scenario where a person is actually able to rewrite an important part of a framework that is actually production-ready without knowing what it entails beforehand is completely unrealistic.

The story of the mythical cowboy coder that managed to accidentally reimplement Rails at work is just that: a myth. What the mythical cowboy coder most certainly created was a simulacrum of a Framework. It probably has lots of useless OOP patterns, but deep down he's using Sinatra's router, and his "ORM" (if it's really an ORM) is just a wrapper around ActiveRecord. Why? Because writing a Router and an ORM are hard. Faking structure not so much.

It's frankly tiring that lots of people jump to those absurd arguments to defend the abuse of third-party dependencies as if it were mana from heaven made with the utmost care. It's not, we have to be realistic: lots of them are absolute shite.
I don’t know Apple’s turnaround, but processors are released in products only long after their design is completed. Think at least several months, even likely a year+ between design and release.

Nuvia started early enough to be a factor here. But Rivos wasn’t even founded until June 2021. To release now, M2 would already have been at finished with design by then.
You are not far from the truth.

Interatomic forces tend to create energy levels with differences on the infrared band. And glass is pretty opaque on the infrared.

Ah, that would make sense. It is indeed a bluetooth connection and it scans for any nearby devices. Thank you for clarifying that, I appreciate it, and I feel a lot better about the app!
The generalized sentiment predates him, but I have never seen the comparison of banning DDT to causing more death than Hitler anywhere but from post 2000 and originally from Crichton. If it comes from somewhere else can you source it?

Note, I'm playing devils advocate in my above comment. So I would like to know if I am wrong about that. (You used the word "variations" so perhaps you just meant the sentiment of Silent Spring causing malaria deaths and not a mass murderer comparison)
What you said sounds plausible and I believe it.

Assuming you’re right, it’s really sad that multiple sibling posts assume that the app was doing something shady and selling the user’s data. It shows, in general, how little trust people have in apps on their own phones.

I wouldn't say I have aphantasia, but I don't know that I think of computers in a visual way, although kind of maybe.

I'm not great at writing concurrent code with locks and shared memory (messaging passing is much easier for me to do well; but message passing is almost exclusively built upon locks and shared memory, so my hands are forced). But I'm pretty good at debugging concurrency problems of either type. It's all about thinking about the sequence of events of an individual thread of execution and not making assumptions that things would necessarily stay the same between steps... and then trying to line up how another thread could make those things happen. I don't line the threads up visually, but I guess you could?
s2 := append(s1, x)
s3 := append(s1, y)

shouldn’t be allowed, because what it’s likely to do is not what anyone meant. In a pass-by-value language, passing a slice or map by value should copy it, append should be a method that returns void, and passing a pointer should be the way to share state and avoid copies.

Most 10xers aren't constantly 10x. You might have a 10x year and then a 1.1x year.

With tech it's a bit of a catch 22, most engineers really become effective after 18 to 24 months. At this point you know how to really get things done in your org.

But after 2 years you can job hop and make significantly more, so your interest might not align 100% with the company's

Fannie May and Freddie Mac is the research starting point you want here.

All existing remuneration levelling mechanisms (such as salary bands) contribute towards the creation of two classes of workers, and pay transparency laws do the same. You end up with people who are happy to be in their salary band, and people who become contractors.

Every place I’ve worked for the past 10 years has had salary bands, and I’ve always been paid far more than the highest band offered. Because I’ve never been an employee, it’s simply never applied to me. I don’t get counted in the diversity statistics either, which is also great.

I guess transparency regulations take the feeling of pressure off those who aren’t competent negotiators, but if the goal is to decrease inequalities, they won’t accomplish that.
When I was in school I had epiphanies or "click" moments on several occasions either while I slept or while I was at the gym staring off into space and lifting weights with no other thoughts in my head. So from my personal experiences I do think that our unconscious mind works at some level solving problems.
>>>>>Was there no way to handle the palestinian refugees without authoritarian methods? "

Actually I will take a stab at the question.

I think Switzerland is a decent example of how to handle refugees while still remaining a free country.

In fact, Switzerland offers a glimpse of a solution: the suisse model of citizenship the municipal level.

In Switzerland, each canton makes its own rules for naturalization. Some cantons have adhoc policies, and refuse granting citizenship for almost any reason. [1].

Now, expand that thesis: - if cantons also had sovereign control of their borders (which they did, during the old confederacy) they could manage refugee crisis while retaining democratic ideals.

> This also reminds me of how after WW2 we seem to have forgotten how to make things look nice. Older architecture often had ornate detailing. Even traditional houses and clothing had details to accentuate its visual appeal.

It's a matter of labor cost. Those ornate details look nice, but they're expensive to create, and expensive to maintain. When those details were popular, there existed a surfeit of skilled manual labor. Over time more complex aspects of construction shifted to or were replaced by pre-fabricated components, and manual labor became increasingly less skilled, or perhaps a better way of putting it is more specialized to working with pre-fabricated components.

Ask someone who owns one of those old San Francisco Victorians--at least those which maintain the original aesthetic--how much a simple paint job costs. It'll quickly become obvious why so many were plastered over, covered in asbestos tiles, etc. Ditto for internal renovations--few people end of replacing waintscoting or other detailing, and those that do try to preserve some of that detail typically end up using faux, pre-fabricated components that lack much of the depth and richness. Labor costs are just too expensive to spend on those sorts of purchases, even for multi-millionaires.

And those costs only continue to increase as knowledge and experience disappear. In the 21st century, most of that skill is pretty much gone forever. You can find people who know how to do these things at a technical level, but few to none that can bang them out as efficiently as people 100+ years ago who did it daily. The whole labor and supply chain ecosystem is simply incomparable.
Right, I wasn't saying "I can't imagine a scenario where taking out the maximum would be an acceptable short term decision", I was saying "I can't imagine buying a house with the plan to make the maximum payments I qualify for over the long term".
in a post-apocalyptic world, building an outdated suboptimal car is still better than not having the car at all.

I really wonder how practical this is though. The bicycle, for example, dates back to da Vinci, but we only became good enough at manufacturing to make the precise parts needed by the 19th century. having the diagrams is all well and good but we will also have lost the means of manufacturing reliably and that is going to be pretty tough to replicate.
Unit testing isn't really the issue here, spectre / meltdown / rowhammer are pretty fundamental design problems.

> In 2018, General Assembly was sold to Adecco, a large, publicly traded, global corporate training company. While all of GA’s prior valuations were based on their consumer revenue, Adecco bought the company almost entirely for the B2B business. From Adecco’s point of view, the consumer business was the moat that allowed GA to have a virtual monopoly in “real” training — programs that were market-tested rather than driven by HR. Adecco had (and still has) a massive global sales organization that targets buyers of corporate training. General Assembly became a unique product that the sales team could offer.
Tree shaking could help, but an issue is that in bigger libraries there will often be shared abstractions that wouldn't be present in a more targeted implementation. Even libraries that are well architected and have good separation of concerns.

Unless the library is a collection of independent functions like lodash, there will be some interdependency (in the name of code quality!).

Of course, (ab)using "more targeted implementations" can cause other problems, like using too many libraries for example. No silver bullet.
>The actual reason they refused to share their own data almost certainly has nothing to do with ethics. It's because they don't want to make 3500+ enemies within their field.

The markets are heavily regulated; you were complaining about someone (seemingly) getting away with insider trading. It's completely irrelevant to the topic under discussion, which was that blockchain-based solutions have been escaping traditional securities regulations. Deciding that blockchains should be a free space for crime because, hey, someone else gets away with a different criminal activity, so what's the point of having laws? is the textbook definition of whataboutism.

Think you are overstating its importance, but I do agree the language’s biggest pitfalls are easily right here. That said, if you start from first principles and force every feature and construct to be justified ruthlessly, it’s easier to see how they got there. Constness (as a type concept) and immutability are one of those things that can explode into surprising complexity for the language and compiler.

In retrospect, it may have been worth the pain. Maybe in the distant future, Go will have it. For now, if you want a more sophisticated language, options exist, with all the tradeoffs that will entail.
