Could take a look at ladder programming/diagrams that electrical engineers use for PLC programming. Works well enough for a lot of people there.

Personally I think something technical turns to spaghetti far faster than text(from looking at such systems). The editors are also severely locked down with DRM (software you can usually choose to shove raw text files into the compiler if you want to).
This never presented a real problem in practice, but IIRC pip just silently installs over the other version.

And since we had a closed system, it was entirely on us to set it up correctly. It was just a discovery a couple years in that we hadn't properly thought of ahead of time.
This comment might come off a little off-topic but I think it's pretty related.

The Gnome Project has always struck me of having this Apple-Like attitude of "We know Best", and subsequently ignoring/shrugging off user concerns/issues/etc.

It's pretty obvious that Gnome is at the very least "inspired" by macOS. Heck Apple started version bumping by whole numbers at right about the same time Gnome switched from 3.x to 4x.

I use it on my Touchscreen Convertible Laptop (with Wayland), since it supports multi-touch gestures (on the touchpad too), and as long as I install extensions to bend Gnome to my will, it seems to work pretty darn well for me. (For example, adding window tiling with the https://github.com/Leleat/Tiling-Assistant extension).

Perhaps there is a better way that I should switch too, but currently I remain ignorant.

You should be forthright and acknowledge that H1Bs fill white collar jobs at below market rates. This obviously doesn't apply to agriculture (and other) work visas.
They're known to have such crazy warehouse shifts that people unofficially carry piss bottles with them.

They're also known to be a crap place to work at the high end for the educated workforce and the best I have heard is "Get in, get out, pump your resume and leave as fast as you can"

"It just means we won't throw you in jail using the state for it. But you may just lose your jobs. Thems' the breaks."

This is a misrepresentation of the current "debate" taking place regarding free speech, a debate we have frequently on Hacker News. Nobody is threatened with jail for saying anything in the US, so if that was the primary bone of contention, the debate wouldn't exist. It's more about cancel culture, etc.
I'm a little surprised that this uses a long-press instead of having the user draw a checkbox with their finger. It seems like the natural way to handle a simple shape like this one that came into popularity because of how easy it is to draw.

Do people want this problem solved?

> Yes. Saving time is good.
> No, as a news reader I prefer accuracy to speed. As a news reader I care about information coming directly from a source rather than summarised. As a reader I want easy access to a source of information and not have to go through a hoop of using another website/app. As a reader I want to read on mobile/laptop interchangeable and with the same interface. As a reader I want to take in deep knowledge and not summaries. As a reader either I a) read high density articles deeply and do not want a summary or b) read low density articles quickly and do not need a summary.

If so, are there current solutions?

> Yes, see other comments.

If so, are you able to do this cheaper or to a higher quality than the current solutions?

> Find the cost of other services and compare that to the cost you can deliver this solution at scale to actual users.
> Find a metric to compare your services accuracy/speed to other peoples solution.
> X-axis; quality. Y-axis; cost. Plot all the solutions.
Is your cheaper for some level of accuracy than a competitor? That’s promising!

If so, how can you get this packaged to users?

> mobile, web
> premium sources and pay walls
> reader apps

Just a few stray thoughts. A friend and I worked on something very very similar. Ultimately we stopped as we found that no one really wants to use this and pay for it. It’s “cool engineering” but people like reading just fine. Also tweets exist! You can find summaries easily that are human created and better synthesis.

Assuming an even distribution of COVID deaths throughout the 50 states, 20,000 workers per state have died in the last two years. I wonder if that has anything to do with the hiring difficulties fast-food restaurants are facing. The number of deaths is probably also higher among those who would be fast-food workers, since the likelihood of death from COVID was correlated with poverty.
I'm referring to producing the certificate as the time-consuming part, not the verification time (I disagree that verification is not subtle, but I suppose that doesn't matter as there are verified verifiers). For example, many SAT solvers no longer attempt to provide "pure" resolution proofs because they are too expensive to produce, which restricts the kinds of techniques you see used in competition. In fact, producing certificates efficiently is an active research area, which wouldn't be the case if certificate production had negligible cost, e.g. see https://lmcs.episciences.org/9357/pdf.
The government is setting the price floor for wages. If that price floor falls below the point at which the government will offer benefits to people, then it isn't Walmart that is being subsidized.
Oh no, it's definitely enhances! It's not merely descriptive of what happened, and it doesn't break the fourth wall or step out of the story. As much as LOTR was the tale of the Ring collected, compiled, and related essentially by Bilbo and Frodo, The Silmarillion is the creation stories assembled by the elves and first men. It's very in-world.
Your analysis overly simplifies the matter. For one, this assumes that there is a replacement solution available for the role the employee fills with a cost less than the cost of an employee. This is trivially falsifiable in the large majority of employment situations, if so you would see these solutions already being implemented in places with higher minimum wages. Businesses prefer making some amount $x over $0.

So what actually ends up happening in reality is, in order to not be forced to shutdown, the employer needs to increase the amount of per-employee revenue, which can happen in a number of ways:

- Raising prices (Easiest move, and even easier when labor costs increase for your competitors simultaneously)

- Negotiate lower supply costs (the threat of losing a big customer entirely can motivate a supplier to give up some percent of their profits)

- Increasing employee efficiency (improved processes, additional training, etc). Theoretically the company should have been doing these already but an existential threat is an even larger motivator than marginal profits. This could result in layoffs depending on how the efficiency is realized.

Really what ends up happening in reality is increased costs just get passed along. Yes, consumers probably end up spending more, but less in taxes are spent on benefits programs, making it a wash in overall cost to society. In fact, people who believe that government spending is inherently inefficient should theoretically love the idea of raising minimum wage as it allows us as a society to move resources from government spending into the free market.

Just FYI: Lua also allows you to provide your own allocator function.

In fact, the core API function to create a new Lua state (lua_newstate()) requires an allocator function but usually people use a library API function (luaL_newstate()) for state creation that calls the core API using an allocator based on the standard C functions.
That isn't what they think according to https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/rights-we-protect/your-right....

WSJ feels "necessary" but a lot of their coverage and especially opinions are nuts. I expect a pro-business, pro-capitalist slant, but sometimes they go a little too far down the Murdoch ladder. Their coverage of the Durham investigation looks like it was written by Trump campaign staffers.
Turf is the "code math" part of GIS. It's a low level API (built as nice tree-shakeable ESM) for dealing with dumb details of GeoJSON data and geometric math like "is this point somewhere in this complex multi-polygon?"

That's not how economics works. Walmart is paying their employees low despite welfare, not because of it. Without welfare, people would be more desperate for work and would be willing to work for lower wages.
The app could be better, but the access to actual human narration of all articles outweighs the downsides IMO. Maybe the reading experience is bad?

Supply is only a problem when it can't meet demand.

If demand drops then supply stops being a problem.
Let's quote more of this for context:

Pagan began working at the Amazon delivery hub in October and, within two months, had been promoted to a role on the safety committee for the facility. The new role didn’t come with a pay raise, and is on top of a worker’s core tasks, but Pagan saw it as a stepping stone to an official promotion. But in April, Pagan told Recode, he took two days off to have an infected tooth looked at and ultimately removed.

The problem, he said, was that he only had seven hours of unpaid time off but ended up missing 20 hours of work; he had enough paid vacation time to cover the absence, but he said the company did not pull from that separate bank of days because Pagan would have had to apply for vacation time in advance. Pagan said he also had a doctor’s note but was told the company did not need to accept it as an excuse, even though he had been excused from work with a doctor’s note previously. He said he worked for another full week without issue, until he showed up one night for his overnight shift and his badge no longer worked. He was eventually told he had been terminated.

An HR manager told Pagan that there was nothing he could do about the termination but that Pagan should reapply for a job at the company in three months, per Amazon policy.

“We would love you back in 90 days,” Pagan says the HR staff member told him. In the meantime, Pagan should “do some GrubHub or Uber,” the HR employee said.

“I find the whole situation crazy,” said the 35-year-old Pagan, who was supporting his wife and daughter on his Amazon income. “They’re gonna lose a good worker for nothing.”

It's not the issue of Grubhub or re-applying 90 days later, it's the completely inflexible termination policy and the lack of any sort of humanness or flexibility around decision-making that caused them to dig their own hole, in this specific example.
> Here's a 2 minute demo of what it looks like: https://youtu.be/t83Egs5l8ok.

The problem with this demo is that it uses something that's 100% broken due to something that happened immediately before the failure. That's not hard to debug and I don't really see value there.

The scenarios that could use this sort of tool are things like someone turning on a flag that breaks 1% of a specific end point but only 0.1% of overall requests. So something sub-alert level and with not nearly an immediately obvious cause & effect. If you can detect something like that without generating a ton of noise and give a hint to root cause then that'd be something killer.

It's a cool idea and I can see the value. We've had scenarios like the one I mentioned (and worse) go undetected because of the noise Sentry generates. If you can solve that then you've really got something.
The fact that you are here, asking about how to do better is already a very good sign. Congrats.

You may feel like not adding much value because you may be measuring yourself by the wrong metric. If you are / was a software developer, its kinda easy to see your contribution, you just pull the git log. When you are leading, its way harder to notice. Thats the jump to the soft skills.

I like to think soft skills are called this way because they have a soft touch. You cant really define what they are, but you know when you are not having it, much like clean code.

It seems like you know where they can develop and get better. Managing them is helping them achieve it. Help them, guide them, nurture them. And mostly important, ask them where you can help.

Being the manager is not being the smarter, just the facilitator. You make thinks smooth. Managing is good when you cant see and it feels it does not exists, but, you know things will be worse if the managers are out.

The author mentions being inspired by the anime The Mysterious Cities of Gold.

>> Why isn't telling someone to shut up protected free speech?

You know the first amendment doesn't apply to people right? It's a restriction on what the government can or can not do. The government can't restrict your free speech. Your employer can. Twitter can too, and that's what Elon is against.

I agree that he could have just ignored them, but he chose to ignore them completely by getting them out of his company. That's his choice.
After flip flopping a bunch, I ditched both GNOME and KDE for Xfce and haven't felt like I've missed much. It might need some better defaults, but you only have to fix them once on a new install.

Nothing huge changes, and really, I'm not looking for much. A launcher. A way to switch windows. Volume and brightness buttons/applets are nice to have. A system tray.

> extracting mega-profits

You realize these companies are largely publicly traded, and their financial statements can be looked at? For example, compare ExxonMobil (the firm Biden's ire has mostly been directed at) with Google:

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XOM/key-statistics?p=XOM

>Profit Margin 8.34%

>Operating Margin (ttm) 10.86%

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOOGL/key-statistics?p=GOOGL

> Profit Margin 27.57%

> Operating Margin (ttm) 30.47%

Those are just in relative terms. In absolute $$$ figures, there's no comparison. Oh, Exxon also paid a tax rate double that of Google's.

The "price gouging" and "record profits" (as long as a company grows year to year, even if only at the rate of the wider economy, it will have record profits year after year by definition, assuming margins remain constant) rhetoric just proves these people are either lying or ignorant of basic finance and economics.
Covid was the accelerant.

I just know that a couple years back when I had a couple "free delivery!" coupons from DoorDash, I struggled to make use of it in a way that wasn't a rip-off, because the food prices were so much higher than their usual menu price. In the end, to make it any kind of actual bargain, I had to be careful to order only very small amounts (one or two things), and avoid many menu items entirely. That got it down to being about the same as picking up, plus tip, which made it useful. Otherwise I was still paying a large premium for delivery, despite "free delivery".
