There is an absurdly easy explanation to that. Junior level jobs are outsourced to Indian bodyshops, where they are done better because they are done by people who are "forever juniors", who will never grow and know it and OK with it (because even a junior wage provides excellent living standard in their country).

Something junior level is by definition replaceable and non-critical. If a junior does something that can break production or impossible to replicate or keep running if they leave, company is doing something very wrong. But this is also a perfect role for an outsourcer.

I think this is a healthy division of labor: outsource junior work, keep seniors in the office.
There’s definitely some utility in separating roles— as an experienced designer and developer I can assure you that making the right design decision is a lot harder if it’s going to be a pain in the ass for you to code — but the most important factor is having the right expertise for the task. We’ve all seen the cargo culted loopdy loop code written by non-experts armed with tutorials, and having one of them do the design and one do the coding won’t work out any better. Same thing with devs and UI work. Design is a wholly different skill set that requires study and practice.
Wow, that’s… kind of insane. Cool. I’m gonna have to check it out.
I wonder if this would work or is even needed in the case of HD-Base-T [1] ?

"savings" implies that you can withdraw it at any time without loss, which definitely isn't the case with index fund investments. You should only "withdraw" in times of high market prices.

people see investments as something that returns 10x - so i say rather than calling index investing "savings", we should call the 10x type investments "speculation" or gambling.
Disagree. I've found living this way is actually quite nice. What am I going to do about these "global events" anyway? I can't impact them so I don't see why I should worry about them. I'll just deal with their downstream impact and let others worry about the events themselves.
Nothing is black and white especially when language is involved.

There's technical and common definitions of pedophilia, for example; it can often be used to describe any adult with any minor, yet there are many such cases that most people don't consider wrong (say a 19 yo and a 17 yo).

Likewise I have heard of scenarios where I don't think it would have been wrong for the participants to result to organ trafficking (one person wanted to donate to another (not for profit) yet they were rejected by the medical system, soon after that person died; what a waste).

Similarly "slavery" comes with a lot of baggage and I don't think it should be wielded as a blunt club as it is in this comment section. IMO the labor is not the problem; the poor conditions and abuses are the problem. Prison is a place where rights are taken away and I don't understand why forcing someone in prison to work is "fundamentally wrong" any more than an adult forcing their kids to do chores is not fundamentals wrong. And I haven't seen anyone even try to explain more about that one. Maybe we just have to disagree about it.

Thanks for the downvotes everyone, else wouldn't have even known there were so many replies to my comment.
> gambling your 5K-10K of savings for a potential 10x return in a year or two, it's easy to rationalize the latter.

which is why it's overwhelmingly large number of lottery buyers are poorer folks.
> No telemetry makes it difficult to get an idea of which features users actually use or find important.

Beyond the survey, are there usage logs we can share or limited telemetry we can opt into?
Canada has "free" universal healthcare, but to call it a "solved problem" seems pretty naive.
Then the corollary is that viruses can't be stopped, because there's no "don't install viruses" API call?

Apple can absolutely make API changes to prevent tracking. They could implement DNS blocking as part of the DNS lookup API. They could add a toggle that requires the user to whitelist any network connections. They could do analysis and provide users reports of which apps they think are doing tracking, with options to disable whichever feature they think is accomplishing the tracking. They could add temporary grants (i.e. "allow network access for the next 15 seconds").

Hell, Apple doesn't even need it's own app store to threaten Meta. They can blacklist binaries and network connections at the OS layer.

Apple likes this setup because they remain the gatekeepers of users, which is extremely profitable.
If at any step of the interview process I see more than 2 people, I assume the company doesn't know how to hire.
I can't remember what Eye of Gnome is called in the shell, but it's probably something like Photo Viewer. I agree which you that Mac OS and Windows do this as well, but Windows at least calls it File Explorer, instead of just Explorer, at least on the graphical side. I think that Gnome and maybe also Pantheon do this best, with descriptive names that help new users, with code names that are used in the terminal, I suppose to differentiate between maybe Dolphin and Nautilus if someone has both installed.
True, and, C++ is popular in that people use it. But I don't think many people really like it.
That's a brilliant tactic! May I ask where/how you learned it?

Less competitive? I know a doctor who got his MD in 1952 as a 21 year old (18 months college), another who got it in the 70s as a 24 year (3 years college), and 2 who just graduated this year at 26 and 29 (4 years college each).

Listening to the stories, med school got progressively easier (1950: tons of WW2 vets on GI bill--older and deadly serious, only 1/3 made it through. 1970s: 2/3 made it through, most dropped first year. 2018: 95% made it through because the schools radically changed from weeding out to hyper-supportive)
I wouldn't have said this is really fixed, I think this is more of a workaround because KDE doesn't want to lose the names of their software. I think that an approach similar to Gnome's should be taken, where it has Files or Text Editor as the main name but if I search for nautilus or gnome-text-editor (or gedit) it will show the correct result. I do agree that it is better than nothing however.
The catch here is that OBS doesn't support a way to bus together multiple audio sources and apply plugins to their downmix, which limits the effectiveness of being a VST plugin host. When I use OBS I find myself having to route audio (both analog and digital sources) over a virtual audio cable to another application if I want to apply nontrivial effects chains (and eating the resultant latency/fighting with audio-video sync).

It's doable, but it can be intimidating if you don't know exactly what you're looking at.
They claim most of it’s in T-bills.

That I will agree makes no sense whatsoever but usually that would be installed by default through the dependency list in your package manager. Dunno why it wasn't.
There are a handful of web forums where people discuss the hobby that my product is related to. They're pretty frank.

>Put your money in a broad index fund and don't look at it for 10 years.

That might be a dead strategy in 2022. After the 2008 crisis the fed discovered a miraculous economic cure: slowly print money and throw it into the economy, so people keep transacting with each other, and the GDP (and stocks) keep growing.

Turns out, most of this growth was on paper - fads, speculative investments, overvalued stocks. Now that the geopolitical shock has disrupted the endless stream of cheap stuff made elsewhere, turns out there's an abundance of dollars and shortage of everything else. There might be a rather non-trivial correction ahead of us.
Unless OBS (or FFMpeg or GStreamer) is giving you something you need (maybe correction on your camera or some touch up filters or whatever), I'm not sure if you (the royal "you") really need OBS for this setup.

I also have a very similar setup. High quality webcam, high quality headset, and a few lights pointing into my face to offset the lighting in the room. I have Zoom configured to use original audio and turn off echo cancellation and most audio postprocessing as the headset pretty much does everything I need audio wise. I've even had my partner talking in the same room and others on my VC haven't heard a thing.

My webcam needs almost no touch-up. While I can stream at 1080p easily (and do so with friends over FFMpeg and an RTSP server), Zoom (and I'm guessing Meet) will frequently downsample your webcam output when in a VC with multiple participants to save on bandwidth. A 1:1 chat can have you streaming in full 1080p glory, but I don't ever need a post-processing layer atop my webcam.

The setup is as easy as me turning on my camera and putting on my headset. Make sure you are using Ethernet so you don't run into AP congestion, especially if you have others in the house doing VC as well. But yeah modern high quality VC is almost completely plug-and-play.
Ask HN: Online Learning for Dyslexic Kids?
What are the good online learning programs, specifically designed for dyslexic kids?

I am looking for a program where a child (K-5 elementary) could learn on her own, without much of an adult guidance. I found two great online resources to learn math (Matific and Beast Academy - works great), but I could not find any comparable resources to learn English for dyslexic kids.

Too true. This is why lottery tickets are called 'poor people savings'.

It's especially bad in Mexican communities. I've seen so many buy them, scratch them at the counter, and go back for more. Sometimes they don't even play the 'game' they just scratch the barcode and scan them.

No method, just hope. You can see the fever in the eyes sometimes, no different than casino slot pullers, or a drug addict getting a fix.

Some of my family members (on the mexican side) spend insane amounts, $20/card and lost constantly. Easily spending thousands but all they seem to remember are the times they won $20-200.

I've thought about this a lot, and think a better idea would be for people to pool money together, and using a program to choose several winners a day. once you've won you can't again for X days. once you've paid so much without a win you're guaranteed $x or something.

I think it's along the lines of what insurance was supposed to be in theory. Without admin costs and some random people leeching money from the top (C-suites) maybe it'd work better.
I don't think the author is totally lost in the woods, but I agree that his writing is unnecessarily unclear. I think that most of the "goatiness" comes from his choice in writing to mockingly call physicalist/reductionist types that disregard the experience of qualia or think of it as a non-problem, as "zombies", and people that think that the problem of qualia must be taken seriously as "zagnets", which unnecessarily muddies the waters, as those words are also used in different meanings by other authors. He also assumes that you are familiar with what various other authors think about the problem of qualia/consciousness.

If I understand correctly what the author is trying to say, I think that theoretical physicist Sean Carrol communicates similar kinds of ideas with a much greater eloquence. A recommended watching, "Poetic Naturalism": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xv0mKsO2goA But then again, maybe I'm just "riffing on" with them.

Github Advanced Security costs me $200+/month, but if I make my repository public, I get all of that for free.

Of course it benefits them too, but it doesn’t have to be purely altruistic to be a net positive.
There have been a ton of real technological advances since 2008 that is not just on paper. You could have also said the exact same thing in 2000.

That's right, but by comparison, Australia has 25GW of solar installed, so this funding represents only $0.01 per watt of installed solar, probably less than 1% of subsidy that went to solar. It's an OK amount to try and fail once.
>Tangentially, I am a bit baffled by folks that are not believers yet try to make sense of a religion, don't they understand hierarchy of belief?

I'd not give a damn about religion if it weren't shoving itself in my face everywhere. For example I don't care whatever religion some people on some remote islands may be practicing because they aren't forcing their religious dogmas on me (and as long as they don't abuse other people). The Big Religion though that we have around is forcing it's tentacles everywhere trying to strangulate everything, and thus even non believers have to deal with it defending themselves.

Also, his portrayal of the "zombies" is kind of a strawman/weak man argument; I started off reading this as someone that he might have thought of a zombie, but then he proceeds to attribute some arguments to zombies that are hard to agree with, to the point that it becomes apparent that his underlying goal is not to communicate his ideas, but to just mock some people that he doesn't agree with.
I'll consider testing it if it becomes free software (inc. the model) and runs offline like all my other dev tools.
I remember when you had to use Fraps to record your game, and a shitty proprietary webcam software to record that, then somehow mix them together like you said. Honestly mind boggling that there was not really a solid way to capture screen and webcam before OBS. It makes creating videos so much easier. OBS is honestly probably the greatest open source software out there in terms of quality and value.
Energy is plentiful, but it is not in the right places.

So surely the economics of transporting energy are going to count transmission/transport costs/efficiency not production efficiency?

Some form of synthetic fuel made from Hydrogen plus CO2 has a very good chance of being a winner here, given the extensive infrastructure we have for liquid (and gaseous) fuels.

I am no expert but this seems very clear to me. What do I have wrong?
I think the improved safety equipment has enabled people to climb much harder things, which in turn has led to people being able to live to develop better techniques and share them.

I agree with you, but a century ago, Freerider was outside of anyone's capabilities (shoes aside). My understanding is that Honnold has talked about just free climbing freerider being impossible a century ago as a result.

If people are capable of free climbing something, they're capable of free soloing it (whether it's wise to do that is a different story)

> The main difference between Honnold free soloing in 2018 and a hypothetical climber free soloing in 1918 is knowledge

What I'm saying is that "free soloing" isn't relevant here, free climbing it in any fashion would have been impossible

To be honest, if we're talking purely about the difficulty of the moves, "free soloing" is easier than protected climbing because you have less weight and don't have to get pumped out trying to manage gear and protection.
I think perhaps micro-managing layered limit orders to try to squeeze the last penny out of multi-kilobuck index ETF purchases might be the right way to gamify responsible investing, though that does have the danger of soaking up hours during the workday, so there are negative consequences.

Maybe they way to go is lump-sum investing into some bond ETFs with gamified rebalancing into an age-appropriate mix of bond ETFs and broad equity index ETFs, following some pattern similar to value averaging for the rebalance, rather than cost averaging. It shouldn't actually be too hard to get something that has the right balance of feeling like real work, being relatively difficult to screw up (or the most common errors having little long-term effect), and out-performing dollar cost averaging.

This isn't investment advice, and even if it were, you shouldn't take investment advice from internet randos.

I used to have limited memory (8gb for my wsl container) and shit went crazy (had a f_u_tabnine bash function that ran a loop to kill the tab nine procs that had cores pinned) to the point of me giving up ~2 years ago. Now on 16gb memory for a wsl container, I've had no such problems with tabnine. So not clear if there were fixes or if more memory helped.

The classic Windows shell has many flaws in its design, appears to have come from OS/2, and it's amazing that it works at all for how it has been used:
