You should be able to tell this easily by talking to them about it. If you're at all unsure, dig deeper on why they did things, someone who didn't write it wouldn't be able to answer hard questions.

I wish cloud providers had a nuclear option. Like “if my monthly spend hits $X, then just stop everything immediately”. Often these billing issues happen on little hobby projects and things that the owner would clearly be fine taking offline to avoid thousands in fees.

I have a condition where at least 25% of people show negative on the primary blood test. This is well known at top clinics.

Lots of other tests exits that show you have it.

I’ve had a dozen doctors all declare i definitely don’t have the condition based on negative. Despite having every single symptom and some other blood tests that strongly suggested it.

I had to fight like crazy to get the other tests run. All positive. They still didn’t want to diagnose me. So then I had to push hard to start treatment. A Month later I was doing drastically better.

Some of stuff you can’t fake.
Doctor finally agreed that I probably had it.

Every doctor since then loved to try prove I don’t have it by running the initial test. Because 25% chance means 0% chance.
Maybe before all the radio frequency population we have now. Now a days this would be a horrific noise monster.
Last time I used Iceraven many, but far from all, extensions were whitelisted.

What's worse, bookmarklets were as broken in Iceraven as in Firefox. I never though it would happen (I've been an extremely loyal Firefox user), but I had to switch to Kiwi.

Other trick would be to add modifier keys on the bottom. I thought of making such a mod for PP keyboard using a membrane keypad like this:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004014867323.html

Pinephone keyboard has extra GPIO exposed on PCB (on my request, because I had this mod on mind, early on) so that this is doable, and I made sure the firmware is safely flashable in field: https://xnux.eu/pinephone-keyboard/ so that it can be extended to support this.

That would add 6 different or 2x3 symmetric modifier keys to the bottom (3 for each hand) in addition to what's on top, and would make the keyboard much more usable for thumb typing.

Why waste 2-4 fingers that are usually resting on the bottom?

I have to find some time to attempt the mod. :)
I find that a bit implausible since the semantic web is designed as an interop layer, not implementation-level tech. The whole point of it is lost if you keep it a secret!
The "problem" is the fact that the commenter, as well as many other readers, find Shakespeare's language difficult to parse and enjoy. Obviously this is subjective. My only point was that the difficulty is more attributable to style than vocabulary.

One thing to note is that there is no “one” American culture. What’s true in one place may not be the reality 50 miles where you but can be true 100 miles where you are.
Gross. If the problem is email overload, everyone sending you 2-4 emails instead of one is actually making the problem worse, right?

But yeah, in contemporary society it's hard to get in touch with people, unclear what the etiquette is, and it may take multiple attempts. Is just a fact, sure. I'm not sure about "responsibility".

If OP is actually about how to be effective making sales emails (recruiters included), then I have no experience to have an opinion on that, but I would unfortunately believe that when doing sales communications, the venn diagram of effectiveness and annoyingness may have a lot of overlap.
This kind of semantic argument does absolutely nothing to help anyone. Mother in place of 'mother-to-be' is extremely common in use.

If you were arguing that a pregnant person can identify as a father/father-to-be then you should probably have stated that.

Alternatively it's "we would have made a profit this month but a bug in this one service chewed through our budget in one hour". Sure, you might be able to get a refund, but that's no way to plan a business.
I mean they know in the sense that they can point to any random object and say "that object is sentient" or "that object is not sentient." We cannot articulate the definition, but the fact that when we look at something we can tell you if it's sentient or not, implies that we know what sentience is.
When the only operations you can do is place buy and sell orders at a certain price, I'd say it's really hard to be evil even if you wanted to.

I think the reason for this reversal is that there's probably enough opportunities to move into areas not within the suburban sprawl. And not just for remote jobs but probably several supporting jobs across various industries. It would be nice to see this trend continue since honestly until the US government repeals its HUD social housing restrictions there's really no reason to keep packing people into poorly managed cities (regardless of who's in charge btw).

Mind you, I think if this reversal persists there might be some major, but not obvious changes to the political and economic dynamics involved.

Email is a tool. Different people use it differently. No need to get moralistic about it. I’m not going to make my inbox the centre of my life or even work day. It’s presumptuous to assume everyone else must adopt a workflow that works for you.
Tips for those who cannot seek therapy
Kind of. I think you're way overstating the case. Most fruit in Japan are also produced for quantity and not for some other quality. They also avoid "ugly fruit" but there are some special markets dedicated to "ugly" fuits and veggies.
Explosive Power Beats Even Moore’s Law
Why are fantasy settings by and large medieval (and not evolving) probably has some interest (often the setting involves lost technology, "a great civilisation has disappeared". Tolkien does this too, with the silmarils, the fall of numenor). In fact per Tolkien law all the amazing elves are basically dying out and we're gonna be stuck with boring mortal men in the fourth age. So arguably all the good stuff has happened and we're on the road to ruin. Wonder if he read the daily mail?

A significant portion of authors might just be emulating Tolkien, I suppose. Also hard to have a secret elven forest base with high resolution satellite imagery, thermal imaging and precision guided weapons.

You don't need the books though, you can check online to see about the scouring of the shire and Saruman in general, which for the Tolkien case makes his views pretty clear.

If you really want to waste some time, consider that the eagles came and rescued Frodo/Bilbo from mount doom near the end. They could easily have flown them _into_ mordor in the first place, especially since at that time the Nazgul were not airborne, saving a very extensive tour of New Zealand (uh I mean middle earth) in the process. Would've needed far less elven bread and a smaller fellowship and got them more air miles. Gandalf could've also taken a spa holiday instead of an arduous hike, bungee jump with a balrog, death and resurrection, which I'm fairly sure weren't covered by his travel insurance and likely not recommended by his doctor.

Ultimately it is a story. In some senses alternative worlds allow you to compare "what ifs?" and this can be fun. However you have to be careful how much you read tvtropes...
I check and respond to email three times a day: at the start of the workday, after lunch, and just before I quit for the day. Otherwise, I'm doing work that requires focus and I damn well keep outlook and teams closed. If that's too long a wait, you have bigger problems than my response time.
For those who thought containment of covid was ever a possibility, watch how monkeypox plays out. Despite it being far less contagious, already having a vaccine, and hindsight of a recent pandemic, we already have community spread in the US. Hopefully someone in the administration placed an order for the Jynneos vaccine.
I used a Psion 5 back in the day, and read ebooks on it which gave the battery life a torture test. A pair of Duracell AA cells would last 20 hours without the backlight, and about 7 hours with it.

A Gemini or Cosmo with the wireless hardware turned off and the backlight at about 30% will handily exceed the 7 hours, but not reach 20 hours. Except you can top them up with any USB-C booster battery.

AAs and AAAs are an environmentally wasteful solution: they were great back in the day when laptops sometimes had a mere 60 minute battery life and required a kilogram-sized brick to charge from the mains, but those days are long past.
> The thing that the "progressive left" doesn't want to admit is that Roe can be bad law AND that the right to be secure in/have control over your body needs to exist.

Yeah. The rhetoric on this is so overheated that I'm convinced that some people actually believe Roe v. Wade is the Third Amendment [1] or something like that. IHMO, this debate would be a lot better if people could distinguish between policy and the law/legal reasoning as separate things.

Finally. Spaces are so annoying when it comes to aligning things without the help of an IDE. We use tabs at work and it’s awesome. It doesn’t matter what your tabs are set to (I use 3 spaces, fwiw) and everything is magically aligned. It requires a well-thought-out style guide to make it work I think.
Hi, author here!

Thanks, already done that, and waiting for it to be reviewed by AWS. Support was very responsive, though.
The real question you want to ask is "do I want to work for a bank, Healthcare, or government".

I work with these industries, not directly for them, and seemingly the people that work in them seem more miserable than those in other industries. You are dealing with large amounts of regulations and inner organization bureaucracy. Coding, unless you're a contractor is a tiny part of the job, and process is a huge part of the job.
Interviews are always biased, chances are dozens of candidates wouldn't get the same puzzle, and dozens would get different interviewers that help them in different ways, and the candidates may or may not have the puzzle memorized which has literally nothing to do with their actual skill.

Everywhere else in the world, when you hire someone, you ask to see their previous work. It is universally the best signal, you don't have a carpenter build a chair on site, you look at what they've built and talk to them about it. And you certainly don't ask them to build a chair in a style they have never done before, you just see if you like their style.
For music only, I am using mpd with upnpmpdcli on a RasPi (zeroW) and control it over BubbleUPnP from my phone. No video solution unfortunately.
thx for your comment, as i said i might get all wrong. Still think PHP template engines like Twig are well designed and make you highly productive. Personally, I feel JSX is a code smell, as it mixes UI snippets with code. But this is maybe my old school software engineering attitude. I am just waiting for the next OSCommerce package written in JSX...
Yeah my friends know how to reach me, doesn't matter how busy my work email is. I'd be really surprised if the CEO of Uber didn't have a way for his actual friends to reach him that was unrelated to his 100,000 new email work inbox.
No, I think they're both using memcpy. perf says they're spending all the time in libc at least. The total time is a little slower than operations like rotate that I know are using memcpy (0.18s), so the chunk size does seem to introduce some overhead.

Ask HN: Where should I consider moving?
Howdy HN,

I’m sure I’m not the only person considering leaving the US in the near future, but I’m struggling to make a short list of countries to explore.

I have friends that are starting the process for New Zealand, but their tech industry looks to be almost exclusively consulting driven. If like to end up at a place that’s more traditional. So where in the world should I look at?

Thank you!
> To be honest I don't really understand the sentiment that developers can get away with not knowing basic sysadmin stuff and at the same time have to spend relevant amounts of time, energy and money to get up to speed with cloud solutions, k8s and so on.

There was a thread here the other day on how DevOps has failed. And this should hopefully show everyone why DevOps is needed. Cloud infrastructure is complex and needs specialists, otherwise simple mistakes can be very costly. If I make a new lambda, you better believe I'm watching invocations.
I think it was overturned because there’s no actual Constitutional or legal basis for protecting abortion at the federal level. Roe, while absolutely well intentioned was a gross overstep of the court’s authority.

It is Congress’s job to legislate, not the Supreme Court’s. Be upset at Congress for never codifying these protections into law even during several years where the Democrats held Congress and the Presidency giving them ample means to do so.
This is amazing! Love the simplicity and the art used to explain things.
Most people don't need to scale and even running 5x redundant servers is cheaper than a comparable cloud solution.
Evaluation Measures in Information Retrieval
Definitely - with startups offering 3x free firecracker VMs (of 256MB RAM) these days, there's almost no reason to start ideas with serverless.
No one ever got fired for just using postgtreSQL, maybe burned though.
I don't understand how Tesla could be that bad at math. Resistance, distance, and the inverse square law would make the efficiency of such a system absolutely abysmal.
I think that experiencing medicine as an individual is often so bad because we’re statistics in a harm-reduction macro game. I try to remind myself of that at every negative healthcare interaction, and try to advocate for myself more as I age.
Calling Lightning a "hack" is like calling TCP a hack of IP. First principles of protocol design literally dictate layered modular stacks.

Actual ideas:

Bitcoin is layer 1 of the internet of value. It only needs to be secure, decentralized, and stable. It has one job; enforce digital property rights while maintaining the above characteristics (Think the internet layer: IP)

Layer 2 (lightning, liquid, etc) build on top of the secure, decentralized, stable foundation of L1 Bitcoin and create standards/protocols for application/user comms (think the transportation layer: TCP, UDP)

Layer 3 (Strike, TBD, Sphinx, CashApp, etc) applications to fulfill specific use cases built on top of layer 2 (think the application layer: all the things you do on the internet)
Can't wait to end my next system design with "just buy more servers. scaling isn't really that hard."
If you read the article EY have been ordered to retain two independent consultants in response to this.

>The SEC has ordered EY to retain two independent consultants to help remediate its deficiencies. One will review the firm’s policies and procedures relating to ethics and integrity. The other will review EY's conduct regarding its disclosure failures, including whether any EY employees contributed to the firm’s failure to correct its misleading submission, the SEC said.
The most important productivity tool I have is ignoring people.

90% of messages/requests I don't need to explicitly action (probably 80% of slack messages are followed an hour later by "oh I figured out the answer").

The 10% will follow up.
This is totally uncomplicated. The choice of database is a function of your application and its architecture, not a matter of all-things-equal performance comparison.

"I want an extensible versitile database platform for use as a component in an infrastructure that is part of a larger system" - postgres.

"I want an embeddable lightweight SQL storage backend for a narrow scope, single-purpose, probably single-user, probably single-system application" - sqlite

Postgres should perform well in any role in the hands of an expert - it's a question of whether or not that is overkill. Sqlite can also perform well in a subset of those roles.
Thank you!

I already contacted them, my past experience with AWS was pleasant, it is just this CloudFront delayed billing should be better clarified in the docs I suppose.

well, I'm sure that won't cause one of the most famous hard things in computer science. Then again, maybe vim9 pre-releases were "we can change things until release," so in that way I'm super glad they fixed it before it became a very widespread problem but I wonder how they chose to use the C-style default in the first place

FWIW, I tried to find the authoritative answer to whether lua was specified as 1-indexed or 0-indexed in the fine manual <https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html#2.1> but it chose to just say that that tables are associative arrays with almost any values as keys, so with that language "t[0]" is no more special than "t[3.1415]"

I regret to report that in the 1980's USA, homophobic speech and actions were 100% politically tenable.

Reagan didn't mention AIDS publicly until 1987, and the reason for that was definitely not that he wanted to avoid being seen as homophobic.
(I’m the author) It’s only slightly more work, but what you get in return is a reproducible dev shell, a reproducible build, and a final docker image with over 100 very granular, optimally ordered layers. That last bit makes the diff of consecutive images much smaller, which can be nice.
I'm thinking more in market saturation terms. There arn't that many full time violin makers, similar to there not being many healthy poets being gainfully employed for their poems.

I guess I should have said "currently" -- very few grids are 100% renewable; some offer the option to individual customers (hi EBCE!) but usually what this means is that the operators purchase enough power from renewable sources to cover that customer's daily use, but crucially it's not always at the time of use. For example, the user might be supplied with power from a fossil fuel power plant at night, but then extra solar power is purchased during sunnier periods to compensate.
It really is odd, and I think it shows how processes have inertia of their own, the bigger the company, the bigger is inertia. Too big to stop at this point. After our struggles to hire senior folks as a Bay Area startup I was expecting something different at a big tech company.... and it just wasn't.

It's stated that their whole family has symptoms. I agree, anyone who has symptoms should be able to get a test if available. In the case where not enough tests are available I would prefer a probabilistic approach (e.g. multi-armed bandit).
Effective email writing doesn't help in these sort of cases, because the email is never even opened.

What you should be asking instead is how to write the most effective Email subject, so that the email is actually opened.
Surely this was meant for Google right? :)
> typically in PostgreSQL you just use text type and not impose any length restrictions unless absolutely necessary.

There was a horror story posted on here a while back about some old API causing an outage because there happened to be a random text field that a user was effectively using as an S3 bucket. Their conclusion was to always set a sane length constraint (even if very large, say 1MiB for the smallest fields) on field sizes.

Hyrum's Law. Yes user input validation, blah blah, but that is infinitely more surface area than having a sane (or absurdly large) limit by default.
Absurd. Reading and writing is the only reason we’re not stuck in caves. It’s allowed us to create a shared consciousness across time that has been necessary for progress. So the benefits of literacy certainly outweigh any risks.

Furthermore, how is oral communication any less of an abstraction? And what about the quality of the text.

Also, reading is reflection. We’re not investing words like food.

Article poses an interesting question but fails to explore sufficiently.
Wonderful parable. But both the fisherman and businessman focus on the reward for themself. I don't have a parable, but for me, my reward has been sharing what I have with others.
Fresh has had a lot of development since then. See the "Production Ready" section in blog post for the latest thoughts:

> Fresh 1.0 is a stable release and can be relied upon for production use. Much of Deno's public web services use Fresh (for example the site you are reading this blog post on now!). This does not mean we are done with Fresh. We have many more ideas to improve user and developer experience.
Well that does sound familiar. I'll be surprised if it only mostly affects the elderly and the overweight... You know that 'return to monke' meme? Gets me everytime.
mpd plays music through the audio device of the system running mpd, though, right? It doesn't stream, unless there's some configuration I missed... I've been using it locally for years and it's fine at that use-case.
Many years ago I used it when it was called ELance. At the time it was possible to find some short projects though it certainly took some effort.
