Nothing much, as compared to someone potentially shelling a nuclear power plant or a diesel fuel depot.

Besides, solar panels are so cheap these days, that it might cost more to destroy them with munitions than to install/purchase them in bulk.
Depends on the contract, but when I worked for Kroger years ago, if I opted out of the union, I got like 2 more $ an hour but at the cost of some other benefits. I was 15 so of course I opted out for that extra cash.
Great idea but then again we come back to the problem of getting that power back to land. I imagine ocean currents complicate linking these things together or with big cables back to land - not to mention big storms. I do really like the idea of fish gathering below the platform - multiuse stuff is always great. We could probably also do some hydropower while were at it!

Best use case for something like this seems like for powering remote outposts and islands - land is at a premium at these places often plus you probably do not want to be clearing large areas of uniquely biodiverse land for power delivery. Some giant ones off the coast of Fiji could be a cool one for sure!
...except that won't happen because supply/demand drives prices, not the inflated wages that you're paying. Your competitors will continue to pay their workers the usual wages, and laugh all the way to the bank with the extra money that they're not spending on wages, or undercut your prices.
Most trading firms will survive this atleast. Many are pretty prudent, especially the ones that are only managing their own money (prop shops).

And I found it disappointing how far down into the article I had to scroll just to see the result.
For sure, it's not for everyone, and I would encourage everyone at any job they interview for to also vet the people and team you are going to be working with.

Ask them hard questions about performance, expectations and on call burden.
More or less, yes. I may later change it to some type like `Interpolated env` to represent a lazily interpreted string that interpolates the types in env. So "${1u8} and ${2}" would be typed as Interpolated (u8, i32).

I'd like to keep this orthogonal to IO or other specific use cases so that it is applicable to any use case users may have rather than tailored to existing ones. You're also correct there is no real logging framework or anything of the kind except print really. Ante is still in a quite early state and there aren't really any substantial libraries to speak of.
As-is, interpolation is really just some nice sugar to make some common operations more ergonomic, like f-strings in python.

I think applications that need their own dynamic interpolation requirements should define their own interpolation to handle their specific needs. It would be unacceptable from a performance and predictability standpoint for example to support the example of loading files into a string and have them interpolated at runtime automatically for all file loads.
My parents ran a small factory in the 1970s. One of their employees was a hippie who kept ranting about how they were a part of "the system". About him they said "We had to fire that guy" because his attitude toward his employers indicated he couldn't be relied on to do the job that was asked of him.

Elon Musk can make a grade-A ass of himself, but within the bounds of the law to work for him is to serve at his pleasure. Complaining about him and NOT expecting the potential axe is madness.
It's selfishly safer to use deadly force on someone that might possibly defend themselves, and it's easier to shoot someone who may run away rather than having to chase. Take a look at footage from countries where the police don't carry guns to see the type of physical work American police are shirking.
I think it took me less than two weeks, two sessions per day. You first need to listen to it enough times so every step becomes fully familiar - this was, at least for me, pretty important because you don't have to think and anticipate what is coming next.

Sleep time didn't reduce, I still like to go for 8 hours of sleep whenever I can - but if I sleep less or get tired NSDR is a secure "fix".

One more important tip is to do one session just when you go to bed. Use it to fall asleep or to get sleepy. This way the sessions during the day get better.

Also, do it without headphones if possible, and with low enough volume just to hear instructions.

>Walmart is offering some workers with past warehouse experience as much as $25 an hour. An Amazon executive told Reuters in late 2021 that the company was bumping the average starting wage for new hires in the US to more than $18 an hour, attributing the decision to intense competition among employers.

This is a common type of formulation in journalism that often reveals the bias of the journalist.

1. Walmart pays SOME workers with PAST experience UP TO $25/hr

2. Amazon's average STARTING pay for NEW hires is $18/hr

Whatever one's opinion on Amazon, when you see the two statements next to each other, it's very obvious that this isn't an apples-to-apples comparison. Whatever the future of journalism/information-sharing, I hope we leave tactics like this behind, as it does not lead to improved shared understanding.
" 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. " This tells a lot
No, what's awesome is that people on HN tell you other people who are doing the thing you want to do, so you can see how they're doing it, how well they're doing it, and if there actually is any room for you, which is in no way a given.
Accurate according to you
Also have a computer with a ridiculous number of cores (32) that I want to keep busy.

I've found Clojure to dominate the ease of parallelism. For problems that are actually stupidly parallel the number of changes to your code is often measured in letters rather than lines. For example, you might change map to pmap or you might change reduce to reducers/reduce and change nothing else but now be fully leveraging all your cores. For problems that aren't stupidly parallel I feel like Clojure shines even more. Most languages didn't implement software transactional memory and encourage it as the default way to work with things that vary over time, but Clojure did. On account of that you can have a not massively parallel algorithm that would be full of tricky lock code in another language and still end up leveraging all your cores by doing something as simple as map or pmap, but not run into horrible issues.
Have you read what's supposed to be in the letter? Sounds like you're victim blaming to me.

I didn't see any SJW politics in that letter but concern that Elon's behavior would reflect badly on the company itself. Which is certainly true but if you have a megalomaniac boss I guess you also need to expect to be fired for telling the truth.
This isn't a secret. Engineers are treated this way as well. At my time at Amazon, it was explained to me that this is why their comp structure is so wrapped up in stock and salaries are so low. Unless you keep getting promoted and get more stock, employees will naturally want to leave within four years.
It does assume enough RAM, as it has no way of knowing how much RAM the target machine will have. It is thus correct with regards to the model specified by Rust, but a program which is proven correct in Creusot may get an OOM-error. A note here is that it will not provide the wrong answer due to insufficient memory, but it will crash.

Proving some upper bound on the amount of memory used (and potentially gracefully exiting) should be possible, but I have not prioritised it, as OOM has not been an issue.
Seriously, without an actual implementation this is the least satisfying checkbox I've ever wanted to check.

>but otherwise how can they compete given that high performers in tech are allergic to unions

If you're talking about keeping 'high performers' in sales, that's what commission is for.

If you're talking about keeping 'high performers' in engineering, ... well, do you even need high performers? Due to the nature of their business, there are no challenging technical feats to accomplish. You really just need solid engineers to push the product and maintain the infrastructure.

When I worked at a place with UAW representation, you had the option to not become a UAW member and still work there, but you had to pay some portion of the union dues anyway. They were not called dues in that case, but something else. The argument was that UAW had negotiated certain benefits that you enjoyed whether you were a member or not, so you should still pay something.
Please read the article. The designer explains the use case. It is not a template to use anywhere. It is designed specifically for a habit-tracking app. It doesn't matter at all if it is unusable in most situations where you would be using checkboxes.
We don't know what it's tied to, because that's just the minimum.
Hahaha.
So you are combining all of the different types of markets/etc in your case, but not in the case of comparison?
And then just discounting them anyway with no reason why.
Saying "it's not comparable to trillions" is both wrong and useless - it is not a reason, it's an assertion, and one not backed up.

I'm not going to continue this, because you are definitely one of these folks who seem to believe crypto is unique in value and capability, that somehow make it not capable of failing (but can't explain why other than "when you add up all the theoretical money involved in tons of distinct markets and uses that somehow relate to crypto it's a lot"). This is IMHO distinct failure of objectivity and imagination.

The entire stock market failed enough in a single day to wipe entire economic segments out and then continued to die - 2 day loss = 25%, 3 year loss = 89%.
Eighty nine percent.

It's so amazingly naive to believe that in the thousands of years of human history that nothing like crypto has happened, that large scale markets on the same order of magnitude of crypto markets have not failed, etc, that i don't even know where to begin. Then going further and just asserting anyone who starts to provide you examples is wrong/incomparable without even a single sentence that backs up why, makes this a pointless conversation.

You don't want to understand, you want to win.

Have a good one.
The goal of the employees was to silence his free speech. Disrupting those censorious efforts by firing them is his dealing with Popper’s Paradox of Tolerance. He realized that to preserve a tolerant workplace, intolerance of their rising tide of intolerance was necessary.

> I have been using one for a few months after getting tired of throwing away M570s once a year because the switches wear out.

This seems crazy to me, yet it seems to be ubiquitous. Everybody I talk to about it says their computer mice wear out and have to be replaced after a few years. Meanwhile I've been using the same USB/optical Microsoft Intellimouse for twenty years and it shows no sign of quitting. I've used it hard too, I've dropped it on hardwood and tile floors more times than I can count and the rim of the plastic shell is ringed with microfractures of the plastic, yet it still holds together and never malfunctions.

I think more modern mice must be engineered to fail after a few years. That's the only way I can explain people going through two or three mice a decade when mine lasts several times as long despite the abuse I put it through.
Found this while reading up on the Trisolaran “Droplets” in the Three Body Problem novel; probes made out of a material held together by the Strong Interaction Force, making them virtually indestructible, while destroying everything else by just ramming into it.

I seriously doubt any of the people let go are remotely near the critical path for the Mars mission.

In fact, certain kinds of persons are prone to stir up these kinds of issues to distract from their own poor performance in their actual job. Which evidently isn’t internal “activism.”

The level of entitlement it takes to expect to be paid to undermine the organization that’s paying one ought to be shocking, but it evidently isn’t.
Another thing is to not be afraid rewriting. Usually when I write an essay/paper, I take a short break after the first draft, and then go through, re-read it, and make major changes to the wording/structure in the process. Generally, the first revision is substantially better than the draft, and the second revision is substantially better than the first revision.

There's no law saying that you have to get all of your phrasing and flow perfect the first time around.

Does that include Musk himself, with the way he's been acting on Twitter lately?

> given that high performers in tech are allergic to unions

You can prove anything from a false premise.
Especially when one of the main reasons for needing to post more collateral isn't necessarily that your position is underwater but rather volatility has picked up and risk needs to be brought down. This happens because futures especially trade with very high leverage.

Also generally the amount of collateral that needs to be posted is in the millions of USD so people tend to understand that isn't instant, especially if those funds are currently in money market funds or bonds held elsewhere.

Amazon designed its warehouses from the very beginning to have it workers be completely replaceable. By not letting them make any decisions, instead just mindlessly doing what the computer says, they can easily plug and play new hires with minimal training. The end goal is pretty obviously to not have any warehouse workers, and making their jobs as simple and repetitive as possible probably makes them easier to automate.

I think I see the parallel as being more a streetlamp problem (looking for the keys under the streetlamp even though you dropped them in the yard, because there's no light in the yard). "Absence of evidence/evidence of absence" and "seeing patterns in random noise" are just two different ways brains mess up when confronted with empty sample data.

The thing that's in common is a belief that if there was something to observe, it would necessarily be in the place you're looking. Maybe it's a form of map-territory confusion.

I've seen it quite a lot professionally, whether it's "let's sell business travel via facebook rather than linkedin, because facebook has better analytics and conversion tracking" or "a disorder is only real once it's listed in the DSM-V" or "this UX issue can't be a real issue because all of our current customers say they are ok with it." People sometimes just pick a systematically wrong approach to learning about the world, leading to a wide range of silly outcomes.
Not sure when Nintendo started implementing this more but I fondly remember buying Pokemon Silver (for gameboy) in my teenage years LONG before it was released in the US. I was too young to get a credit card or an eBay account but my friend and I realized we could buy a one time use Visa gift card with cash from a local store. Each of us saved up for god knows how long and then I bought Silver while he bought Gold. All in (including shipping) I think we paid close to 70$ each which seemed like a HUGE amount of money at the time (almost 123$ today!). I don't think either of us even considered that the Japanese cartridge might not play in our US gameboys.

What we did not realize was that there of course was no way to switch the game to English as it had not been translated yet. Playing the game entirely in Japanese was for sure a challenge but I think I still vaguely remember the symbols for Poke Ball and the Health restore items. This was of course still fairly early internet days so there was not a ton of online help and translators were much less accurate.
I’m aware that it isn’t meant to replace TIFF, but merely having document/multi-page support wouldn’t do that (or at least, not for most pro usages). There’s a severe dearth of consumer-friendly multi-page static image containers that don’t start with the letters P and D and end with F, and it would be great if someone in a position of influence would suggest such a format (especially if it really were just “multiple page support” and not “everything plus the kitchen sink masquerading as a multi-page image/document format).
Sure thing. I'd have the same concern. Their feature set is robust but I think there is a pareto effect in play. I think just the features I mentioned are 80% of the tool's value, you could probably charge >=2x what they do, and those feature have "broader than finance" appeal. However, back to your point, I've never seen finance folks use a Mac for actual work so the market is probably tiny.
I'm not berating anyone for not knowing exactly how science works. What I berate people for is casting doubt on the science while at the same time being profoundly ignorant of how science works, and in many cases acting as if this ignorance were actually a virtue, as if being ignorant made one somehow more authoritative than someone who actually makes their living doing scientific research.

> Any statistics to back this claim?

What claim? What I said was:

> False beliefs about vaccines, climate change, and the 2020 U.S. presidential election (to cite but a few noteworthy examples) are particularly harmful.

That's not a factual claim, that is a statement about what I personally consider harmful.

> You can find "experts" on both sides of the spectrums saying different things.

Yes, if you put "experts" in scare quotes. But if you are talking about experts rather than "experts" then there is an overwhelming consensus with regards to vaccines, climate change, and the election.

It's a pretty simple universal rule that you don't try to make your boss look bad. And doing so is a great way to end your employment.

Do you know how hard it is to already weed out underperformers in large tech companies? I wouldn't be surprised if half of Kickstarter's engineers pumped out fewer than 3 PRs a week. Only the underperformers will choose to stay in the long run.

> If you had to start over, would you still recommend to yourself to learn F# in 2022?

Learn it, absolutely. A lot of comments here are arguing "maybe don't use it in Production", but I think it's a clear case that it is still worth learning even if you aren't "using".

Even though C# keeps adding a lot of F#-inspired features, there's still (and likely will always be) a large gap in the "native" idioms and the cultural best practices. There's still some big differences in encountering the "F#-like" stuff in the imperative wilds of C# than in the tame functional fields of F#. Learning those same tools in the "safer environment" where they feel more natural, learning the idioms that make them truly powerful in F# unlocks ways to think about these tools, that even if you aren't using them day to day in F# and are just applying them to C#'s relatives can still be very useful ways to think.

(A lot of what this article here talks about has a different perspective from F# and especially Haskell where "Lazy evaluation" is a much, more natural way of working than the imperative mindset of "every line does a thing immediately", which is what imperative means.)

Coincidentally, I've made several recommendations in recent PRs that developers take some time in F# lately. I really do strongly believe that learning it makes for better C# programmers in 2022, especially because of all the F# tools now in the language. It's too easy to fall into mental traps you don't even know might exist in LINQ and records and async/await and AsyncEnumerable and ReactiveX and so forth, with the list still growing, without the education of languages like F#. Even if the other comments can give you a lot of reasons why you maybe shouldn't push to use F# in Production, it's still an incredibly useful educational tool at least.
