Not at all. Any organization that runs its datacenters can calculate a TCO.

I purchased an air purifier two days before. Price 120 on sale for $85.

I checked yesterday. Some model on sale for 109.99 for prime day.

Avoid prime day. The real discounts happen on other days.
Was it a basic calculator or a graphing one that could store data on it?
My understanding of point #2 is that LLVM may still try to devirtualize the call, which would reduce the performance impact -- is that true for Rust? I know it happens sometimes in C++.

Also for proc macros, rust-analyzer seems to struggle with them sometimes as well, so I try to avoid them (outside Serde, which is worth any price) for that reason.
And according to the New York Times, this is the reason that Russian troops are looting major appliances from Ukraine, and trucking them back home.

A couple of theories:

1) It sometimes can be hard to leave a company when you are "in the thick of it." A sabbatical can give you personal time to reflect on whether you want to stay or not.

2) Sometimes people use sabbaticals to prep/perform job interviews or plan career transitions.

3) Sabbaticals can allow you to quit early while waiting for vesting restricted stock units, employee stock plan sales, retirement contributions (matches), etc. There are certainly many more timed bonuses available for senior leaders.
exactly this. Take the time to pick the bare minimum of shit, that let's you get the job done, and stick with it.
I was first eng at 2 YC companies so can share my experience:

Benefits:

- Learn on the job

- Learn to start companies/test ideas

Drawbacks:

- Company pivots or moves locations? Can lose all equity if < year 1 even if you stayed up late often building first MVP

- All of your points

The payoff could be the startup, but more likely it's the experience and skills for down the line. Are you inexperienced? Then it's a great option if you want to start a startup in the future.

For me I ended up getting a full time, much much better job by essentially going through the agile sprint wringer at multiple startups. It would be a much harder sell now to me, not that I'm not open to it, I just have more of a radar for better startups now.

Caveat if you don't have the skills required to start the company, then there's no opportunity cost and the opportunity cost exists somewhere else if you have other skills. I did notice how several founders were very good at fundraising, instead of writing code -- and it was equally important.
There seems to be a demand for developers who know the internals of Postgres to evolve and customize it given that it is being used, at different levels of abstraction/layers, by basically all cloud providers (AWS, MS, Google, etc) and by some DB SaaS. BTW, that would be a cool job to have...
Yeah, it's literally the NYC Office of Emergency Management. Their whole jam is being prepared for disasters. NYC has seen enough of them already that they need an agency that can respond faster and more fit to the city's needs than FEMA.
It's the same thing both ways! Chalk up another win for English.
Presumably the affiliate program is more cost-effective than paying Google directly, or why even have it?

Maybe the customers kelnos found were much lower quality than normal affiliate customers? That's the only reason I would think this makes sense money-wise.

It's also possible they didn't want to anger google with "misspent" free credits.

But it's also possible they had an ego about it.
The y-axis has actual meaning: it tells you the purchasing power of a public stock, which will never be 0.

What you could do is normalize it by the value of the stock at the start of the chart, which would make the charts start at 1. On a log plot this is the equivalent of dividing all the values by the starting value, which moves the lines up/down but does not change their shape. This could make it easier to compare the lines, but in doing so, you throw out information (the real value of the y axis).
>Any reason why everyone seems to be stuck on this problem?

ML maximalism focused on the narrow problem of 'solving driving' while not recognizing that any task as complex as driving requires probably something closer to general intelligence, and theoretically the field has been impoverished in favor of "throw more graphics cards at everything".
I don't know why you'd think that.

My point is, why believe that philosophy has merit, or that you'd be able to distinguish the good parts from the bad parts? (And if you are able to distinguish good from bad philosophy, why would you need an existing religion as a starting point?)
Well, I can't anymore, but, I might have instead said something about how religion is commonly maligned for such practices. This is only to show that modern investment practices bear strong elements of ritualistic faith. Your response is most welcome. Thank you.
right, it is relative in a way too right? because for the factory and parts suppliers the demand is what comes down the supply chain... So one day they will be producing and getting parts for 10 cars and the next time nothing at all. So the part suppliers will see the demand of its production to fall, even though there might still be 1 person buying one car.
Show HN: Japanese Kana Learning Flashcards
I started learning japanese a few weeks ago and I find I had difficulties memorizing the kanas.

So I decided to create a set of flashcards with LateX I could print with my own printer to work on it.

As it might help some people and as I didn't find any set of cards with all those infos, I'm releasing it under CC BY-SA 4.0. some images are taken from Wikimpedia, attributions & licence are listed in a dedicated file.

As said I'm only learning and I'm not at all fluent in JP so there is possibly some errors and it's definitly still missing some pronunciation exemples.

The LateX structure is also probably horrible, sorry about that.

I'm open to any and all suggestions to improve it.
Nice. A Motif-style DOS shell. Looks good.
Housing was/is directly affected by Covid supply shortage.

Cars, chips, energy, supply shocks etc are what’s causing all this increase in CPI. I would even say there’s not much (monetary) inflation, on the contrary, deflation of the USD might break the system.
> However, recently the EU has made its intentions clear to annex Ukraine.

Interesting way to phrase that. I'm sure you know that "annex" suggests a non-consensual activity, like what Russia did (and is doing) to Donbas. On the other hand, Ukraine has actively requested to join the EU, so perhaps "annex" isn't the best word here, as it reduces the perception of Ukraine's agency in the matter. In this case, I think that agency is of great importance, because we usually allow countries to join associations freely. The seem to be implying that that Vladimir Putin should have veto power over Ukraine's decision to join EU.
Where did you want it?
My opticians have always given me a microfiber whenever I got a set of glasses made, and last time I went I asked for a spare as well. Now I have the habit of having one in my pocket at all times so I don't have to devolve back to using the bottom of my tshirt.
I was interested in this question too after seeing this post.

The criterion for getting early funding from places like Ycombinator has changed substantially. The thinking used to be to find great teams including tech ability, invest in them very early, and let them pivot around until they find product-market fit.

In the last few years, the model has shifted substantially. Now, it seems that incubators and early money investors expect you to already have a decent business idea, have it in some sort of production or beta cycle, and show actual revenue for a year or more before they're interested in risking their money.

In practice, this skews the whole process in favor of people with a business and product focus. Frequently, I'm seeing MVPs that are built offshore by inexpensive teams, or even some of the no code solutions. Early funding is basically raid your saving account, and hit up your friends and family (or, be a repeat founder with a big win on your bio).
,
If the mvp shows some traction, there suddenly needs to be some serious technical leadership, which is not the skill set of the founders. The founding engineer concept is an attempt to square this circle by giving enough equity to a talented tech lead to convince investors that you have the technical chops to chart a course over a few years and execute without a major catastrophe.

As to the surprisingly low comp, here's the truth: Startup has become a glamour profession, equivalent to fashion or entertainment. You can pay poorly because there's a long line of people with the talent and ambition to try it out. The status boost you get by saying you're working at a Silicon Valley startup with white shoe VC investors is very valuable in some circles.

If you want to make money, and you can cut it, do Faang. If you have a relatively low aversion to risk, and ambition to do big things and be important someday, take the plunge with startup, but don't fool yourself for a minute that it's a sure thing, no matter how smart you are.
It's fair to not appreciate the humor oneself, but this is a really unfair judgement / assumption of the author's intent.
| but as I get older, I don't really externalize what I do.

How has this changed the team dynamics- do you get an overall sense of a disconnect from the rest of your team? I've never been one to share my hobbies, maybe I need to be more vocal about the things I do outside of work.

This looks to be quite the achievement, with numerous custom UI controls written just for the project. The author describes them here http://www.calmira.net/source/index.htm and offers them for anyone else to use. They include labels, paths, loading bars, even a Win95 style Pie chart.

There are also UI hooks and messaging components.

All this written in Delphi and designed to run atop the humble Windows 3.1 kernel! Source code is available should anyone wish to hack away.

I'm from a place that never really gets below freezing, so I have to ask. Is this serious? If so, that's fascinating. When you turn the tap on, does the water instantly turn to slush on the way out? Does it come out at full speed or sluggishly?

I thought they had real self-driving taxis in Pheonix that you can order? Real ones, with no safety driver.

That definitely sounds "better", even if it is heavily geo-fenced.

As far as I know still using SMS is a US-only phenomenon. iMessage seamlessly upgrading SMS for iOS<->iOS chats was pretty brilliant on their part. Google/Android did it briefly with Hangouts, but IIRC it was always optin and Hangouts was EOL'd longer than it wasn't.

...so basically the "green text problem" is about as common as "imperial units." I don't know why we're so backward sometimes.
There's been a lot of progress despite AVs not meeting intitial hyped predictions. Waymo and Cruise are operating driverless robotaxis in SF. We're probably a couple years from many major cities having them.
I think minimum was 4mb, and it ran ok with 8mb, although expect swapping if you multitask. It certainly ran nicer with 16mb, but you didn't need it.

Like I said, none of this includes tips, but decided to see if this happens in other countries, so I switched around my delivery location:

UK: 10% "Service Charge" on top of delivery fees

Spain: "Marketplace Fee"

Canada (Montreàl): "Taxes and other fees" which when expanded shows "Service Fee" separate from.

Doesn't seem to be tied at all to tipping culture, these companies are quite content taking extra money regardless of social norms

I knew there was going to be a 74HC4046 in there before clicking the link. It is a venerable old workhorse.

When I was studying EE, 40 years ago, one of our professors always wore a lab coat with a pocket full of 4046s. He used to roam the labs and offer one to students struggling with designs.

It is such a versatile chip, with a VCO and three different phase comparators. If you have to do anything related to modulation and/or demodulation of signals below a few 10s of MHz, it may just solve your problem.
I wonder how much that is to do with the fact that software is expected to run on a much wider range of screen sizes these days? Doing a drag-and-drop sort of thing when you have to support phones up to big desktop displays tends to result in the container widgets you describe.

On the web side I bet the right person could do something quite intuitive with CSS Grid though. You could drag out where you wanted various content blocks to appear at different screen sizes and generate a `grid-template-areas` [0] property to match it.

It's because this profession is regulated by the government. So the prices skyrocket. This happens with any thing regulated by the government. A liquor license in CA can run up to $300,000 dollars. Health insurance is insanely expensive. The more automobile regulation, the more the price goes up.

Regulation is a double edge sword.

They make a thing safer but then the increased cost excludes a lot of people from using the thing until typically only the rich are able to enjoy a thing.
The thing is, those regulations were put in place to solve a problem. They might not have been the best solution, but there is no way to know without going back and researching exactly what the problem was they were trying to solve.

That’s on top of the fact that we are always dealing with incomplete information.
Reading your post, are you fully vaxxed and do you modify your behaviour to follow public health guidelines? If not, sorta hypocritical critizing a covid plan you don’t wish to follow. And the previous president would not have lifted a finger to help Ukraine, which would have really uphurt the us’s ability to influence events going forward.

Edit: On the whole, the us has had mediocre vaccine rates with large portions of the country ignoring the process. Unless your plan involves using a dart rifle to vax people the covid plan was DOA. What would you have suggested they do?

The whole bloody gerontocracy should be put out to pasture and a new set of people in their 40’s and 50’s should replace them.

>we were thinking of doing contract work until we built up enough money, and then quit the contracting business and work full time on the startup.

Awesome if you can do that. It's possible I never had the network I needed to really thrive, but the few people I saw do really well in contracting were parma-temps, IE: they basically left their previous full-time jobs and became full-time contractors to those jobs. My own experiences over roughly a decade were that you can spend a whole lot of time having to chase the next client, and just when you think you are starting to really set aside some good money here comes another little downturn or break between projects.

Keeping your day job and finding ways to get the product bootstrapped on the side is hard work, but I've seen more people find success that path. Frankly, the most successful people I've seen already had a nest egg from hitting the birth lottery or from a windfall in their day jobs.

> but its currently at like 98

Come on now. There's two chasms between "an academic paper", my blog, and "a blog with minion/the office reaction GIFs".

The amount of humor is finely-tuned so that it's not /too/ distracting from the actual technical topic at hand (of which there's always one, I'm not a sit-down comic), but it also filters out folks who'd rather focus on the form than the content / take themselves too seriously.

Looks like the net caught you! Hi!
Folks gained some immunity (and experience in dealing with COVID) since the first few waves.

Plus at best there was a big slowdown, but there was no serious shutdown, many people still worked and got COVID, eg. people who would have otherwise worked at the port. (Though even a serious lockdown doesn't help much. (We saw this in China.)) And mask wearing was so far from ideal that it was not able to seriously decrease the transmission of the disease.

Aaand of course the boosters could have been much much better (containing new variants): https://www.slowboring.com/p/were-getting-an-omicron-optimiz...

What's true is the shut/lock/slow part made no sense after we got the vaccines, and it's also quite obvious that there was just not enough stockpile of basically anything to do a ~1 month lockdown to stop the spread of the disease. (And the moment the first international plane landed it would have started again.)
> Because that’s how democracy is supposed to work.

Isn’t that a bit of a contradiction? Roosevelt, if I remember correctly, was democratically elected. A few times.
Or don't, because all of those things are great. Compile times aren't that bad unless you're doing a clean uncached build, which is very unlikely.

I agree with your sentiment. Can anyone suggest alternative solutions?

How should founders hire early engineers who feel invested in the company?

- offer more equity

- offer more salary

- offer the same position but with no “founding” title. (Would your rather work the same position with no “founding” title? Different title? “Foundational engineer”?)

- get more co-founder engineers with 10%+ equity
With the EFI stub in the Linux kernel and the ability to embed an initrd in the kernel, you can boot a small distribution with just the kernel file. The only issue is that it takes a long time to load a very large kernel into memory like that.

I tried that with a buildroot based hypervisor I created for my home lab.

Inflation is a good reason why long term capital gains rates are lower than income tax rates.

You can argue about the timeframe and getting the whole break after 1 year versus maybe giving larger breaks the longer you hold, but that’s the weeds.
> obscure analog switching ICs

This one was a surprise to me when I went looking. I'm building a custom audio processor for someone and I couldn't find something as simple as a 2-up dual mux in stock anywhere. I ended up finding a handful of DIP-package dual multiplexers in a drawer in my lab and using those. Luckily it occurred to me to check availability before doing a PCB layout and I only needed 3, but seriously! A basic analog switch was the last thing I though I'd have trouble finding.
In every zone, obviously. AWS has had widespread ARM support for many years.
With the advent of modern software emulations and MIDI controllers, I'm surprised many of these companies are still in business. There have been so many blind tests where audio experts can't tell the difference between pure analog and pure digital modeling. I know some people like the knobs and buttons as a catalyst for exploration, but anything you might do with an analog synth knob you can ultimately do in a software model. And when good synths cost $3,000 and up, the value just isn't there unless you're just trying to impress people that walk into your studio.
If history repeats itself you are dead wrong. During 2008 the Texas market barely flinched while California and Florida was tanking. I think Texas won’t budge much again considering the consistent flow of people and jobs to Texas in pretty much every major city.

This is well written but also very alarmist. There are supply chain issues, but in the west they're limited to certain industries. Amazon orders still arrive in two days. My grocery store is still stocked full. Inflation sucks, and so does the stock market, but we're in the middle of a European war and just out of a global pandemic. Demand has already risen to pre-pandemic levels, so supply will eventually reorient to meet it. All things considered, the economy is still doing pretty great!

I have this theory that cameras do not reduce crime because "amount" of crime depends on supply of people willing to do crime.

If you are a person that is willing to do crime and you see a camera, you do not stop doing crime. You find another target.
