Mostly all this post has is some type checker bugs that have already been fixed (of course the article will never be updated now that they're fixed) and using -prod for measuring compiler speed, when it's explicitly mentioned on the website it's for non optimized builds only.

And nonsense like setting array length on creation is a terrible idea. Go with its `make([]int, 5)` must be a terrible scam language as well.

If he had a good faith, he'd report these issues via GitHub, and they'd get fixed within a week.

So, regarding your claim that I have "a habit of overpromising and even declaring things finished before even starting on them".

Please, list them here. 1.2.3.

Must be easy if there's a habit.
When I think of vast I think of Tolstoy (War and Peace). Have not read Hugo, yet. Will do!
I had no idea the idiom came from the tagline. I always thought it was the other way around.
To everyone asking "what else works better," I remember using Product Studio at Microsoft, which was a thin client over an SQL database. It had some flexibility problems, but it was so, so fast. It's the only ticket management system I've ever used that didn't feel like it was getting in the way. Unfortunately, about 10 years ago Microsoft chose to modernize/dogfood on Team Foundation Server, which was just awful, probably worse than JIRA. I have no idea what they're using nowadays.

I wonder if the performance we got out of Product Studio had more to do with having a locally hosted instance, vs. running in the cloud, and I wonder if teams that host their own JIRA/Confluence/Bitbucket servers have a better experience. I do find that one of the major gripes people have with planning tools is that they break flow, and I wonder how much of that comes just from the amount of stamina required to maintain focus while waiting for all the spinners.
I have the Coway Mighty in my living room and the Blue Air 411 in my bedroom. Both are great, and I would recommend them to anyone.

And I have the same sentiment as others, Wirecutter is definitely suspect, but at least for air purifiers their recommendations were spot on for me.
You're either undervaluing common stock or vastly overvaluing preferred stock. Probably the latter?

If you join with options for preferred stock (assuming anyone is going to do such a thing), you're probably getting a 1x liquidation preference. But preferred stock has a higher fair market value than common stock. So the strike price will be higher. Probably close to the liquidation preference.

Which means, you're asking for something that will net you $0 if the liquidation preference kicks in. And you'll earn less in the upside case because your exercise price would be higher.
Are you at least tracking where in the funnel you are losing candidates?
Yes, and I'll say every time it comes up too.

Just because Apple made it harder doesn't mean they made it impossible. There's a reason so many places work on making apps for multiple platforms (at least 2) rather than a unified web experience. There are benefits beyond serving a webpage in a native app, and they all want those benefits. Stick your head in the sand and deny it all you want, but it still happens.
Really good screens, full body motion tracking, haptic feedback, omni-directional treadmill. There are still ways to go.

> HEPA filters are good at capturing both particles smaller and larger than the 0.3 micron test standard

That is due to MPPS - the only thing that matters is the actual reference particle size, not larger or smaller particles, as these are ultimately easier to filter. That is, particles between 0.2 and 0.3 microns are the most difficult to effectively filter out.

> their focus is on PM2.5

Which doesn't mean it doesn't trap 0.3 micron particles, as PM2.5 is Particulate Matter up to 2.5 microns in size, not 2.5 microns and up.

There are inconsistencies between their main air filter recommendation article and the specific review; if you haven't, read the article about the IKEA filter here: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/ikea-fornuftig-air-p...
It took amazingly little time for the majority of accounts created to be fake.

I had two forums with memberships that grew at exactly matched exponential rates for months. One stayed behind the other, by a constant factor. (One was "I hate Perl", the other "I resent LISP". Resentment, here, was about its never becoming a mainstream language one could find employment coding in.)

What was said in them wasn't interesting, but the membership statistics were a constant puzzle.
I suppose that's why he never finishes anything.

Robinhood is a horrible company. I closed my account a year ago, asked for all my user data to be deleted and I STILL get emails every couple of weeks. I’ve opened tens of tickets to just get them to leave me alone and one year later I’m still nowhere. I’ve never been more pissed off with a company. Build a dam e-mail black list or actually delete my data like I requested.
I watched an org limp into better A/B testing as slowly and painfully as possible. They knew why it was important but just weren’t in a hurry to get there.

I can see all of the organizational side effects that would come from a metric like this and the upside far outweighs the downside.
> I thought it was pretty clear that the author objected to it on principle.

It isn’t clear whatsoever. It would have been trivial to mention the other, far more common reasons why app icons change and make a fairly politically-neutral argument. However, they did not choose to do so.

In fact, they never even go so far as to say “and these political statements hinder my ability to recognize things visually.” But politics, well - they brought up the concept no less than 4 times in the brief post.

What they did was leave it open for you to read your own perspectives into it.

> And you might want to be careful about asserting that anyone who doesn't like having a pride flag pushed in their face is automatically homophobic/transphobic.

I have taken great pains to avoid this very assertion. What I did assert was this: “it’s likely related to Pride month, and the author considers LGBTQ identities political.”

If you believe that “considering LGBTQ identities to be political” is a synonym for “homophobia”, you are welcome to that connection. It’s not unreasonable.

But again: my point is that my existence is indeed political. Whether the author supports my community or not isn’t the point I’m making, at all.
That’s mostly the US corporate union system (which of course you’d be using as a US company).

European approaches like sectoral bargaining and codetermination don’t have these problems; a single company isn’t disadvantaged vs its competitors and the employees on the board are motivated to grow the company. Europe doesn’t have VCs and the culture doesn’t support failure like Silicon Valley, but that’s for different reasons.
I've interviewed twice at a place that pays for time spent in the technical assessment, since it involves writing actual production code for them, and never had any issues on my end. I'd rather do this than grind leet code for 2 months.
Yes, assessing devices is far from trivial. In case of air purifier reviews, there's little focus on two crucial elements:

* Real energy consumption and performance when the filter is a bit dirty

* Fan noise and vibrations when the device has already been in use for a year or two

For example, in my experience, the top pick from Wirecutter (Coway) excels on the first item but fans tens to become misaligned after a while and vibrate a lot at low speeds. It happened to 2/2 units I bought.
I use Eero Secure on my home network with handful of custom policies (i.e. oldest kid can use discord, youngest cannot) plus Apple's Screen Time for their devices when they're off the home network. It generally works, but also the internet is a deep cesspool and they still find some bad stuff. YouTube is the worst. There is no porn, but loads of other weird and questionable content.

Now that my oldest is 13, I've started to realize that you can only control a portion of this, so sometimes education is better. My setup above works fine for helping my younger two avoid content they might accidentally find. However, every middle school kid can help you kid find a variety of VPN solutions to evade all of this. The latest for my 13 year old was aChrome plug-in that routes that tabs traffic alone over VPN. I unblocked Discord for him in exchange for dumping the VPNs and having a deep conversation over what is appropriate and how to behave on the internet.

It could have just been a coincidence. every month has a movement of the month nowadays.

Also, you can have too much of a good thing. Doesn't mean said thing is bad.
I did that for a while but keeping images up to date was a chore I’d often forget to do then regret not doing once I needed it. Sure I could probably automate it with a little effort but instead I switched to this service and have been running with it for a few years now without any issues.

While I know there is a risk involved, pragmatically that risk is very low given I’m just an anonymous individual very occasionally using this for personal devices.

You can actually run this service locally though. I did contemplate running their Docker container on my home server. However I use it so infrequently that even running their Docker container locally felt like an unnecessary additional piece of work.
For anybody who offers a month-to-month subscription, I'm not asking for anything other than them not taking money they're not earning. You have a point with, say, annual subscriptions. But for services where there's no cost to the vendor for an unused subscription, maybe that's ok, as there an annual subscription could much more easily be a dark pattern.

I also think pushing the risk of "the customer doesn't actually get anything out of it" onto the business is where the risk should be. Who better to understand and manage that risk than the people making the product and who have great masses of data on how it actually gets used?
Sure, they like to have “their money do the work,” but they still have to find (or grow) a system where large capitals can sit and collect interests.
It's what you have to base everything else on. It comes prior to everything else. Free Will is on the same level as the Cogito. Everything else comes after.

I think, therefore I am. What is part of identity? Free will. If not free will, then there is no identity, no "I".

Axiomatic means unquestionable. The meaning of axiom as a premise for an argument came later.
Just a friendly reminder that all Australian software companies are required to install backdoors at any time at the behest of law enforcement.
Thinking that organizing a union to change the direction of the company is an exciting experiment is really irresponsible. All the paycheck everyone at the company is getting needs to come from somewhere. You do not have the right to bet everyone's paycheck on an exciting experiment.
You might try sonus locus they Livestream some outdoor places.
The only point the author was making with the 0.9005 vs 0.90005 example was that if you're only processing 10% of the air, then the efficiency of your filter doesn't matter. The entire section honestly would have been better without numbers, because they cause some amount of confusion and they don't really help make the point since it's obvious. If your room's air is recycled with outside air fully over the course of one day, and your filters take ten days to work through the volume of air in your room, then the efficiency of your filter doesn't matter.

That's it. Yes, one filter is 10x as efficient. It doesn't matter because in this example they aren't moving enough air relative to the room size/leakiness for it to matter.
Actually, the statistics are rather stark. Without sprinklers people may be seriously injured or killed by fire. With sprinklers present and functioning risk of injury or death from fire becomes negligible.
True, there is still fractionalization at the national level. And the 'cancel culture' argument as I'm familiar with it is associated with the US and the UK. But as you say, the gist is true, I just overstated the scale.
I am amazed that you can't see that approach as exploitative, and that your last line is victim blaming.

If a company can't exist without tricking people into paying for something they get no value out of, maybe it shouldn't exist.
> Is iOS locked down? Sure! I love it that way.

lol welcome to Hacker News.
Mechanical turk roles exist which exploit this skill but the rate of return is often low. Typically it's transcribing receipts into data entry, or doing subtitling input from recordings, transcribing. It's being eroded by speech recognition and OCR software but still exists. If you gain some kind of in-role social credit I believe the pay improves.

Supplemental income for a home bound person, carer role, that kind of thing? I might help.
Wait, what you call “abject” poverty decreased by 20% (relative) and you’re still not happy?

That’s fantastic news.

First of all, make sure your sleep and nutrition is up to snuff, that you're getting some sunlight and exercise, and you're not getting sucked into too many distractions like the internet. Delete all your social media accounts. They are bad for you. Yeah, HN too, though less so or at least we like to think. Also, take vitamin D supplements unless you're outdoors a lot more than most people are.

If after that, if it's general mental or physical fatigue, it might be medical. Are you able to passively take in information, like watching TV attentively without getting distracted/tired? If not, then yeah, suspect medical or psychological issues. Everyone gets that way sometimes, but if it persists more than a few weeks, talk to an MD.

If you're having trouble beginning code tasks, then work on stuff that you're already in the middle of, write documentation, go through the bug list of whatever you're supposed to be working on and fix issues, etc. This can get you back into it.

I think really great programmers are in an inspired, highly productive mode almost all the time. Ordinary pretty good programmers (most of us here) are in that mode some of the time, and need to develop the skills and habits to keep plugging along when we're less inspired. That is partly a matter of technical fluency: be very familiar with your tools, languages, environment, code base, etc., so you can keep cranking without having to get too overwhelmed by uncertainty and confusion.

There is a long time stereotype of hackers staying up all night coding, and that is partly because there's a time around 4am when psychological resistance to doing stuff dissolves. So if you are stuck on something, deciding to pull an all nighter can actually help break through, even if most of the night is not productive. Don't do that too often though, and never do it 2 days in a row.

Other than that, I guess we would have to know more specifics.
Same argument works against the OP. Who cares if their meat is from captured carbon, if all meat has always been?
So having an inferior participant degrades everyone?
> No technical measures exist to stop you from removing this call for donations, but it's more work to patch it out then it is to just ignore it. This makes FOSS software a pretty good vehicle for political activism.

This doesn't bother me too much and I don't even seem to notice it consciously, but I am really glad that every utility doesn't have an unrelated charity pitch (or other advertisement) built into it. Though I think a number of GNU programs do contain free software advocacy messages/advertisements, those don't bother me too much either.

What really irritated me though was the nagware message in GNU parallel soliciting bogus citations (or money, which may be less ethically problematic but is still annoying.) I didn't hate it enough to fork the code and remove the nag message myself (or fight for it as a patch to the Debian packages or something) but I quit using GNU parallel because it left a bad taste. I imagine a nightmare Linux shareware edition distro where every program (and library, driver, kernel module, etc.) prints out a nagware message that you have to turn off.
I don’t understand “asking a fish a question”.

But maybe the question you are proposing is the following, “Is it possible to identify a sensation that is always present?”.

Maybe this question is coherent? I’m not sure.

Suppose it isn’t possible to identify a sensation that is always present. Then wouldn’t that mean the state of having no sensations is identical to the state of only having sensations that are always present?
I had a cheap, slow, second hand laptop that I would power on only when needing to seed the PXE boots...

So when I wanted a clean slate, I would:

- turn on laptop
- reboot client machine
- make a coffee (or two)
- there is no step four.

It was wonderful and to be quite honest, I'm not sure why I stopped!
I registered in normal browsing mode using the brave browser and no VPN.
Heaven forfend, an autocorrect typo spat out "road" instead of "row"! That's definitely a good-faith thing to jump on.

And, uh, no. I am very far from a libertarian. I am not, however, inclined to jump at shadows.
There was substantial discussion on this topic a few days back when it was linked to the Uber blog entry from the two authors.

No, it is the same effect I am describing but inter-national as opposed to inter-firm. Capital allocation is transnational.
Ok. How would you describe SSC's revenue model and incentives, then?
I don’t buy that excuse.

If they cannot adequately protect against these scenarios they really should not be trying to collect and monetize so much granular user data. Clearly the organization is incapable of operating what they have built.

The reality, IMO, is that it is just not financially worthwhile for them to give a shit. People will jump through hoops for stupid validation purposes because they want access. Why spend engineering time solving a problem that is more easily handled by inconveniencing your users.
> can't see that approach as exploitative

You're getting all-you-can-eat from the business for a fixed price in exchange for predictable revenue as opposed to pay-as-you-go. That you think that's exploitative just tells me you don't understand the business model. You want to have your cake and eat it, too.
No, in this system, they would be "residents", they would just be residents that haven't gone through the sort of procedures that California would like for them to, and so they get absurd property taxes or whatnot.

e.g. if you go don't go through immigration, you can physically live there, but you'll have to pay 105% of your income in tax
I previously worked at a large enterprise software company. The CTO is smart, but talks expletives all the times and is not approachable beyond their inner circle. The people around the CTO effectively control the access and because of their attitude no one dares to challenge or propose anything newer than whatever exists.

Everyone used to hate the work in private conversations. But the CTO effective chose to stay on their own island, only communicate with people around them. There was never a two-way conversation from real engineers to the CTO.

And ya, hackathons used to happen all the time with a lot of "assertion" about innovation, but nothing ever gets shipped from the hacks. It's just to satisfy the engineers so they feel excited about working on something new and receive a token gift card.
Anonymity was not really considered a core benefit of the early Internet.

In fact, early Internet users typically had true names associated with universities, companies, and the government.
People get the idea that theory means wrong or imaginary when it really means the concept of something rather than the actual thing. But the concept can be correct and fully proven like the theory of math or physics.
Or perhaps all the experiments lead to the creation of a US digital dollar which can be spent online as anonymously as an ordinary paper dollar. This would have a clear advantage over Bitcoin, plus be backed by the full faith and credit of the United States

1. Mcdonalds is 'normalized'. Everybody knows you can get a double quarter pounder at mcdonalds.

Christanity is not noticed. The public rarely knows the content of the faith it rejects. And the point is reinforced by the complete lack of knowledge about what it is and how pride might impact it, in this conversation.

2. "Normalization" and "oppression" are not words that mean what I'm talking about.

Christianity is "unknown" to the public and the LGBT politicians turn a blind eye to people they don't want to relate to. They are tripping over landmines they don't see. I pointed this out and was met with the same old desire to flee from relating to Christianity,
as we see from lgbtq activists all the time.

Not everybody thinks pride is a good thing nor that it should be shoved in their face, thinking that media spam is going to result in political conversions is hopelessly naive to how faith functions, what christianity is and without mutual knowledge of one another's worldview, it'll never be resolved in love.
It’s really not. People tend to only form unions when they feel that they’re being unjustly treated and this is one of their last resorts.
Fundamental problem with Tiptap is its horrendous docs. If lexical can put out better docs, it is better than Tiptap automatically.
If an iPhone owner wants to use an app that Apple has banned from the App Store, they cannot simply purchase it. Instead they must make the widely disproportionate move of spending many hundreds of dollars on an android phone. In practice almost no one will switch phones just for a single app.

Similarly, a resident of a communist country could theoretically leave and buy things elsewhere, but in practice almost no one will because of the high overhead of moving countries.
Proof of Stake will come to Ethereum soon, and when it does, the environmental argument against NFTs and other ETH-based tokens will be moot.
