I've been doing full-stack work for the past 11 years, with Python and Django on the back-end and HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery on the front-end. I've also worked with the Django REST Framework and React.js. I'm intimately familiar with schema and data migrations, including migrations between Django projects. I've worked extensively with startups and I've worked with Twitter. I have a lot of experience working with distributed teams and am open to occasional travel. Available full (~32hrs) or part time. Interested in Python work or full-stack with Python.

I don’t but here’s some documentation https://darktable-org.github.io/dtdocs/en/module-reference/p...
And I'm just as happy to use it for free, I haven't set up Headscale either as attractive as it sounds to own my own infrastructure when I can have someone else do it for me...

Tailscale is a really great service and it's so easy to teach someone else how to use it, compared to like every other VPN ever!
There's a tax every time you need to read someone's pleading showerthought and close it because you don't have the time or don't care to do it. You still have to read it all, you still get annoyed by it all. Unless you're a total emotional robot none of it is actually free.

It is also interesting that I'll get downvoted and criticized for wanting to run my own project this way. As the first sentence of the linked note puts it:

> The only people entitled to say how open source 'ought' to work are people who run projects, and the scope of their entitlement extends only to their own projects.

Lots of people out there seem to want to force me to collaborate with the world, for my own good, not just open my source code up for use. All I want to do is limit collaboration on my own solo free-as-in-beer project.
Better than Germany? Not much... it's a train wreck (ha!)
If you want a quick-and-dirty inversion, you can take a tone curve tool, set it to the XYZ color space and make it go top-left to bottom-right instead of the normal bottom-left to top-right. That should work afaik.
What top tier countries?

The US is the wealthiest country in the world by miles. It's had the highest GDP every single year for over 100 years continuously.

That amount of capital is phenomenal, and part of why Americans enjoy salaries 3-4x higher than even Western Europe in most professional work - Tech, Medicine, Law, truck driving, etc.

And that money allows you to work your way up, and buy your own property, etc. which is almost impossible in much of Europe, Canada, etc.
This is a really great explanation - I love MobX in many ways but the “observing the current state of the system” definitely has its downsides, which you’ve expressed very clearly!
The brightest minds don’t go into government bureaucracies - they don’t get respect, don’t get paid, can’t get shit done, and a myriad of reasons why they go private instead. The best-staffed departments are those that have a symbiotic relationship with the private sector, like the SEC, where doing a government stint raises your value in the private sector significantly.

Because we have seen endless waste and corruption in our central planning, I no longer want them running or planning anything. If there was even a single government service that made even a semblance of efficiency and effectiveness then perhaps that one could remain. But overall it’s been an endless slide to shittiness in our public institutions.
This is such a stupid article. It spends 95% of its text talking about events in history and then concludes by saying "Joe Biden bad". No evidence except a lazy swipe at the 2020 riots, no salient points beyond "oh we're all doomed because of ideology", nothing. I feel dumber for having even skimmed this.

The truth is that ideology has poisoned JOURNALISM. The West is doing just fine. But journalists seem to have failed to realize that their jobs have fundamentally changed. In the past, when information was expensive, they played an important role of disseminating info to people that they otherwise would not have gotten. But in the information age, when all info is free, they are nothing more than propagandists, trying to come up with engrossing stories to keep you hooked. People are realizing this more and more and I expect the gap between journalism and reality to keep growing wider.
There's a lot less of it on Mars. Also exposing things to sunlight is complicated by the high levels of radiation.
All of them. It’s genius corporate-speak.
Yep, pretty much. Tech jobs are no longer highly paid. Also earning 3200 eur after tax in the nl is lower than earning 2500 eur in, say, romania, once you factor in the cost of living.
Yup, I'm wrong in the specifics here. I think I'm conflating the stats for negative appendectomy and the willingness to go to surgery without positive imaging in that setting with the ~30% of cholecystectomy cases that don't improve with surgery. (Of course, the risk/benefits of missing an infected appendix vs taking out a healthy one are very different to gallbladders with stones.)

That said, I do think the underlying point I'm trying to make is still accurate. Most of the audience here are software engineers. Unlike debugging software, where we can often eliminate possibilities with 100% accuracy through objective tests and come to a conclusion with complete confidence, or at least run experiments with no consequences, humans are messy, poorly observable, and heterogeneous. A relevant history helps speed things up when trying to fix software, but it can be vital when fixing humans.

Given the rate of asymptomatic gallstones visible to imaging in the population, if these lentils are causing acute liver injury, I think it's reasonable to expect that some people have had unnecessary surgery as a result. If you knew your patient had eaten these lentils, would you still send to surgery with positive imaging, or wait a few days and see if things improved?
I'll take that bet. Google has lots of flaws but it is still has lots of people who are genuinely trying to do the right thing. I just don't see the people at Google implementing a feature like this designed to make people feel safer about their personal medical data only to turn around and betray them to law enforcement.

Don't be so foolish and do a health related search while logged in.
Not for fun, but definitely for marketing.
what about cell phone data? The cell providers don't seem to intend to follow, and that data is extremely telling.

The abortion clinics would need their own GPS spoofers and Stingrays, so the data at all levels - Google's, cell providers', etc. - would clearly be showing location other the the clinic.

Building an open source software with a GUI and announcing that said GUI has been reworked in this release, and then not attaching screenshots of said changes :(
Sure, you can come up with an example where some synchronization is needed, but how often do you have this requirement? In most apps it is rare, which means that it can be solved by using a couple of extra lines of code to update the screen, as opposed to adopting a complex state management system with events firing and so on. Simple solutions for simple problems.
That's the juiciest data they can get, why wouldn't they?
No, the word average is a place holder for measures of central tendencies (like mean, median and mode).
Some of the phrasing is quite fascinating! E.g. “kidnap personal information”
They didn't block the N word
Hmm, just me who feels similarity with Twitch?
I mean the icon and color scheme, it makes Twitch easy to find on my phone but now I'll have two similar ones.
The competition is among companies (and the salary they are willing to pay to attract devs), so "the dregs" are the companies paying those salaries, not the devs.
Depends on what you mean here specifically :)

I'll agree that the Redux DevTools "skip action" and "jump back to action" features are not all that commonly used in practice. I _maintain_ Redux, and I don't even use them that often.

On the other hand, the ability to see a written list of all dispatched action type names is valuable by itself. So is the ability to click one of the listed actions and see the action contents, state diff, and final state. _That_ is very powerful.

Beyond that... I now work at a company called Replay ( https://replay.io ), and we're building a true "time traveling debugger" for JS. Our app is meant to help simplify debugging scenarios by making it easy to record, reproduce and investigate your code.

The basic idea of Replay: Use our special browser to make a recording of your app, load the recording in our debugger, and you can pause at any point in the recording. In fact, you can add print statements to any line of code, and it will show you what it would have printed every time that line of code ran!

From there, you can jump to any of those print statement hits, and do typical step debugging and inspection of variables. So, it's the best of both worlds - you can use print statements and step debugging, together, at any point in time in the recording.

Additionally, because Replay records the browser's OS calls, it captures _everything_ that happens in the page. That means you can debug _any_ website or JS app, no matter what framework it uses - React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, jQuery, or vanilla JS.

I actually recently implemented a POC version of support for the Redux DevTools in our Replay debugging app, so that if you do record a Redux app (or Jotai, or Zustand, or NgRx), you can use that same Redux DevTools UI to see the action history.

So, yes, time travel debugging _is_ an amazingly powerful concept. It's just ironic that that particular aspect of Redux didn't end up getting used that much... but the Redux DevTools themselves are still valuable, and Replay is actually a far superior "time travel debugger" overall.
I definitely understand there are reasons outside of that, but you should be ready (and happy) for a community to build up on your release of interesting Open Source software.
Here is an article that was referenced in the video: https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2017/1/9/the-real-reason...
As someone who plays the classical guitar as a hobby, automation through repetition is key to clean execution.
Fast fashion is also very harsh on the environment. There is a lot of waste in fast fashion. Much better to buy a smaller number of well-made articles of clothing and take care of them. If you have clothing tailored to fit you well, you will look and feel like a million bucks. It doesn't hurt that you may also become more attractive to the opposite sex. It's the same with personal hygiene and good grooming: it is first and foremost an aid to better health, both physical and mental, and second, a simple way of conveying to the outside world that you are a dependable, social and happy person. However, based on my observations of men, particularly younger men, in software, I have to say they are very poor at taking good care of themselves, physically or mentally, despite a lot of talk about mental health.

Most of the folks in tech, and commenting on this article are likely men in their twenties, and men in that age group do not care very much about their outfits. They also do not have good grooming habits, probably because no one thought to drill it into them at a young age. I have also noticed that if a person in engineering dresses well, he begins to stand out and attract negative attention and comments from his peers, which can discourage even tentative attempts at improving himself in this department (most men in the engineering side of this profession are somewhat shy and reserved to begin with).
Attach a battery, a camera, a 1 inch screen and a big button -- make a doorbell.
I love pandas and work with quite small datasets for EDA (10^(3..6) most of the time) but even then I run into slowdowns. I don't really mind as I'm pursuing my own research rather than satisfying an employer/client, and often figuring out why something is slow turns into a useful learning experience (the canonical rite of passage for new pandas users is using lambda functions with df.apply instead of looping).

I've definitely procrastinated doing some analyses or turning prototypes into dashboards because of the potential for small slowdowns to turn into big slowdowns, so it's nice to have other options available. I'm very interested in Dask but have also been apprehensive about doing something stupid and incurring a huge bill by failing to think through my problem sufficiently.
Yeah, if you've got any particular use cases or ideas for how you'd like to use them, please put up a discussion thread in the RTK repo and let's talk!
IMVHO doing things demand or to know them up front or to carefully design them and correct the design as long as you advance, because no matter how well you design something up front, it will change, perhaps substantially in some parts.

At a certain point things seems to work and became habits, a newcomer might understand them, might not, might spot illogical/inefficient aspects that are assumed as normal due to the initial evolutionary process and ANY confrontation is such stages typically generate frictions and uncertain feelings where many choose to contour with extra rigidity.

Said that, play network analysis that way seems a bit a nonsense to me. We try to simply things, reduce them to something we already know but... We actually know companies/works paradigms and policies MUCH more than network theory in general.
I have colleagues from China. They visit us occasionally and we exchange sometimes even about half forbidden topics. They work and live in city with 7 millions people and it’s kinda (as you write) boring. It’s absolutely like my countryside life and I like it. For me personally western politics is disgusting. Why? There are groups of people who have resources to influence voters enough to have the right people to do right thing for them. There are no real fights, just show for voters.
If you are building Google doc editor by all means, design a complex state management system, it is worth it. But then don't bring that complexity into typical business applications.
Just because someone suggests a way to work around a problem doesn't mean that they aren't also annoyed by the problem.

There are some problems you do not have a viable way to attack at the root, and you just have to deal with them. Often other people control the thing you would have to change, and will not be persuaded to do it your way.

I understand the desire to not have to learn something just to be able to remove an annoyance, but isn't having that option better than not being able to remove the annoyance at all?
It seems that SHA512t256 is another name for SHA-512/256. It's a shame that the initialization is different from SHA-512, as it would have been very useful to be able to convert a SHA-512 hash into a SHA-512/256 hash.
If ever there was a glove perfectly fitted for the invisible hand of the market, it's saving our planet by taxing carbon.

Yet here we remain, whining about why it can never work.
> Most operations for defining real numbers are computable.

Isn’t that a tautology or at least selection bias? “Operation” seems to imply we can carry it out, which means the number can be computed.

Even if we give “operation” a wider meaning to include those that can’t be carried out, are we deceiving ourselves that most of them are computable because most of those we have thought of in the history of mathematics are?

Or do we really know something about the cardinalities of those sets?
in some states. On a salary of £120,000 in the UK, you'll take home 60% of your pay [0], meanwhile in California on $145,000 [1] you take home 63%.

The real difference is that it's very hard to be paid 120,000 in the UK.

>A story at the Hill took over nine seconds to load

The Hill is what finally pushed me to install an ad blocker. Before that it didn't bother me too much to get served ads etc that I filtered out of my awareness anyway, but The Hill was unusable.

So, I installed an ad blocker and immediately realized how negligent I had been-- in terms of quality of web browsing experience-- in not doing so earlier. The Hill loaded near instantly. Massive improvements all around on other sites as well. As in the article, It felt similar to upgrading from dialup to a Cable modem.

Unfortunately it seems sites have upped their game in adblocker arms races and the gains I achieved when I first installed it are incrementally being chipped away as things become ever so slightly slower, tick.. tick.. tick... tick... As time goes by.

Suggestions? Is there something more I can do? Besides simply disabling JavaScript which breaks many site from usability.
Welcome to HN!

Home ownership is as much a comfort as it is a fantasy. There are true perks, eg, you're mostly in control of the regular costs (rent vs mortgage) but it also has downsides, like... basically any hazard and everything location-related.

PS: I feel weirdly kinda honored that you created your account and replied to my comment. Anyway, I'm just being me ;)
Some fifth order equations have solutions that may be expressed as radicals. An example of such an equation is x^5=2, for which the fifth root of 2 as a solution.

We know from school that there is a solution for any equation of degree 1 (linear) with integer coefficients using plain arithmetic, and degree 2 using radicals and arithmetic. The linked article mentions that the same holds for degrees 3 and 4.

What Abel proved for degree 5 and Galois for any degree >= 5, is that for some equations of these degrees there's no expression involving radicals and arithmetic (*) that is a solution.

To reiterate, Abel and Galois' results are about the very existence of a specific form of a solution, not "findability".

(*) More technically: any finite formula involving composition of radicals, arithmetic operations and natural numbers.
I watch in horror as this dystopian nightmare unfurls. Be strong America, this too shall pass.
Exact same experience here. We were using Redux to manage server-side data and switching to React Query massively simplified everything. It appears that managing server-side data in an efficient way is an insanely complicated topic and React Query just solved everything about it that I can think of.
Thank you, so much to do in this space!
Bud looks great and I see we share many common goals. The dependency injection piece looks interesting. Did you build it custom or integrated an existing solution?
> It has already shrunk by two-thirds since the 1980s, from around 8,547 square kilometres to just 2,590, US Geological Survey data from last summer shows.

The article mentions Owens Lake in CA. Not nearly as well-known but much more substantial is the massive lake in southern CA that dried up completely and is now only vague memories, Tulare Lake.

> ... Tulare Lake was the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River and the second-largest freshwater lake entirely in the United States (as parts of the Great Lakes belong to Canada), based upon surface area. A remnant of Pleistocene-era Lake Corcoran, Tulare Lake dried up after its tributary rivers were diverted for agricultural irrigation and municipal water uses.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulare_Lake

If you've driven Interstate 5 north of Tejon Pass/Grapevine, that valley you pass through is the site of the massive former lake.

Climate change isn't even needed, just an insatiable demand for land and water.
Learning Iterative Reasoning Through Energy Minimization
But it turns out most of the additional galaxies are relatively small, containing only hundreds or thousands of stars. As a result the estimated total number of stars hasn't changed much, at about 2 sextillion (2 x 10^21).
As someone who pays taxes in Sweden and don't plan on having children, I would probably not choose to pay for 480 days parental leave per child, subsidised day care and child allowance payment to the extent they exists today if I had a choice.
Saga is so heavy and overly complex and you don't really get much out of it if you understand how middleware works. There's really no reason to add a huge dependency to your project.

You can do all of that pretty easily with a vanilla redux.
Google made a solid attempt at improving web performance and usability with AMP and offering preferred ranking - and hacker news mostly skewered them for it.

Publishers need to be compelled to improve performance but the current model encourages bloat
