From a legal perspective I'm not sure, but I'd say 10 days is the minimum you'd see for a full time salaried position. But it's considered low for skilled professionals and would be a dealbreaker for many people. For skilled professionals (lawyers, engineers, etc.), 20 days is a more common number to see. This doesn't include sick days, which are usually counted separately.
I've implemented CI/CD at multiple companies on many platforms, including Argo and Spinnaker - specifically at startups with limited resources, managing a bunch of microservices or an application specifically for CD is usually just not an option. I love that it's modular and doesn't require any specific CI tool, and the simplicity of implementing canary without a service mesh or custom tooling is nothing short of amazing.
Top talent rarely takes vacations, and in my experience usually works a lot more than 40 hours a week (not because they have to, but because they want to).

Go and ask any PhD student at a top 10 CS university what they think of 20 days vacation and 30 hour work weeks. I think you'll find the answer expands your worldview.

Not sure if you need a physical LED when many phones these days have OLED displays that can mimic the LED without consuming too much power. Some Android brands have this built-in and there are also some 3rd party apps that do the same.
Ask HN: A webmaster “transfers” thousands of articles to a new host manually
one-by-one, as described by the said "administrator" (the quoted terms are mine).

A certain (commercial) blog, mainly run by one person was at one point transferred to a new host (wix.com, I don't know the original host) and the writer stated something along the lines:

> We will eventually transfer all the ~2500 blog posts to the new hosts, but according to the web developer the transfer will take some time since all have to be moved over manually.

Can this scenario ever showcase nothing but pure incompetence? If they can "transfer" the content in the first place, I assume that the task is entirely trivial and a loop could be created in minutes by someone with Javascript or Selenium experience...
You're probably right; I was overestimating the amount of funds that are actively managed (ie, would be in a position to act on this in the first place). Had the ratio of active:passive been higher, and a bit of coordination in place, it felt like being fined a billion or two could be a mere cost of doing business, but indeed, that seems unlikely given the layout of the modern asset management industry.

That said, torching his reputation...seems to be one of his hobbies. Between the whole SEC battle, the subsequent pumping up of DOGE, the getting high on Rogan's show, having children with names that can't be pronounced, and however many more anecdotes we can come up with, arguably doing weird inexplicable things that seem otherwise self destructive or at least incomprehensible IS his reputation at this point.
You're missing the "informed" part of "informed consent".

20 years ago, if the world's biggest online retailer had a particular security camera that was their most recommended, chances are it would just be a pretty good security camera.

Today, that retailer is deliberately pushing its own products that compromise our privacy so they can collect more data on us in hopes of making more money—and, if that weren't enough, providing it to the police with no warrant, no consent, and no recourse.

In my experience, most "average people"—not tech-savvy people, and not conspiracy nuts—fall into one of two camps on privacy: Either they don't understand that their privacy is likely to be violated by something like Ring, or they do, but they've come to the conclusion that there's no hope for privacy and just given up.

In neither of these cases can true informed consent be possible.
If you expect inflation and continual shortages, the best bet is probably to invest in commodities.

It could be interesting to think about unit tests and contracts together. In theory a function is valid for anything allowed under its contract, which could make generative testing (aka property-based testing) more powerful and automatic.

It would also be nice to have system-level contracts. Like, say, "every item in list X should have an entry in dictionary Y". Or "no button should be located outside the visible viewport". These are the sorts of things that people procedurally unit test, but expressed in a declarative way you can imagine all sorts of tooling.

Hi Charles, this is my fault for missing the attribution – I'm very sorry.

I've just added a credit to you and your repository (see the second sentence).

I had put together this minimal example based on your repository together with a StackOverflow answer containing the build command (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68476647/errors-with-com...).

Being just a single file with a simple build command it seemed like a minimal advancement on the state of the art, so I quickly decided to publish, and did not appropriately credit the original as I should have. I hope you can accept my apology – this was an honest mistake.
Under the hood, almost every data structure is a graph.

Linked lists, trees, and heaps are all just graphs with certain requirements about their structure.

Everything else can be represented as a graph, just not as elegantly.

Also as a data point, I really really wish there was an everything is a graph language. I work in graphs all day (in the private industry) and I have to keep modeling them as arrays. It's a pain.
Belief is a probability. Utility is an outcome propagated backward subject to your value function. Belief times utility minus opportunity cost can lead to low probability events having high utility such that their expected value even after accounting for a high opportunity cost is still worth pursuing.

If you take this approach with only one bet than you don't minimize your risk. Probabilistic reasoning doesn't have any guarantee for a particular sample. You can get unlucky. In order to safely pursue low probability high utility gains you have to make multiple uncorrelated bets such that your winners pay for your losers.

So the perception of this approach being crazy is exactly backwards. Rather than being crazy in his bold vision of the future, he is actually a cautious person who is trying to minimize the riskiness of his beliefs.
I'm consistently surprised by HN's lack of vision in this area. The idea of a Network State / Internet-native economy is a cyberpunk dream, and crypto enables that. The constant doubt, rejection, and preference for SV-startup solutions is the opposite of what I would expect from a "Hacker Community" but I suppose HN is literally full of VCs (particularly FinTech) that don't want the competition from open crypto solutions.

Meanwhile, devs in crypto are able to build without limits and are having an absolute blast larping as anime cats on Twitter while cranking on bleeding edge ZK tech and other exciting projects.
> It has a number of URLs. I suppose it's possible at least one of the URLs is no longer legitimate

Just a guess, but since it is a file which lists website urls one of those domains was probably flagged as a phishing site, and since your doc had a url with the same domain it got flagged as well. It wouldn't surprise me to find that one of those candidates' sites had actually been hijacked by some phisher. Unfortunately just visiting each site wouldn't necessarily reveal which one it was since they'd likely have tucked the php shell or other phishing stuff at some path away from the root of the site to avoid detection from the site's maintainer.
You do mean that, but it doesn't have a lot of bearing on the correctness of your argument. I suspect you've assumed that wealth is neither created or destroyed somewhere in your logic, because what you are saying would make sense if that was an assumption. But that would be a poor assumption if you've made it.

CPI is a tool for adjusting the value of a dollar, but it doesn't have any bearing on the value of the total economy vs the value of all the dollars in existence. All the dollars in existence might buy the entire economy many times over or they might buy a tiny fraction of it. And that ratio changes continuously (both from money creation and economic activity). There is no inverse relationship mediated by the CPI.
While this looks impressive technically (everything rendered using <canvas>), it seems completely inaccessible to anyone else than users with a pointing device.

This seems a rather extreme claim. Can you back that up?
If I was wasting my time at 18 and my parents had kicked me out, and depending on how they did it, I might very well appreciate it when I was older.
There is no such thing as an 18 year old child.

Either let them decide for themselves because they're an adult, or kick them out so they live on their own and decide for themselves because they're an adult, but in either case, they decide for themselves because they're an adult.

Hint: they decide for themselves, because they're an adult.
Experts Alarmed by Zoom's Tech for Detecting Users' Emotions
I don't know much about the bar exam myself, but I had a professor in college who was also a practicing lawyer.

He was of the opinion that in order to pass the bar, you mainly needed to really know the legal fundamentals and be good at making a legal argument in the bar exam, and that knowledge of specific laws is less important, because those are always available in reference books.

He told us a story of passing the Massachusetts bar exam (just to see if he could) without knowing anything about the state laws in Massachusetts, and won a bet he had made with his friend, who didn't think it was possible.

I don't think it was malice, it was probably just an honest mistake. Apple comes out with a larger laptop than the 15", and Intel comes out with a processor better than the i7: as an engineer, you can put 2 and 2 together. I totally see how they'd think that a larger version of their i5 laptop could handle the i9. Apple's cooling is designed around low-wattage chips though, and those i9s are consuming much more power than an i7 for much less relative performance scaling. It also didn't help that they were keen on marketing it as a new-age mobile workstation, which was really not the case for a lot of daily users.

The whole thing came together to create a disappointing product. Pretty much the only saving grace of those machines was their really-good Bootcamp performance, but it was no reason to pay $3,000+ for one.
DHT, however, is quite an impressive technology.

I wish it was used more often, although I'm not sure what can be done to prevent abuse in clients.
During the event, I believe they said the back is covered in gorilla glass.
> Is there really nothing covering the back?!

MKBHD shows off the back and LEDs and it looks like there's glass covering the back.

The text states that the back is glass
There are 3rd party apps (if your OEM doesn't have the option) to use the display for that. It can mimic a "LED" or something else. It works fairly well, especially on devices with OLED displays (most mid/high end phones).

I'm not sure if this is sarcasm... but if you actually trust/believe that farmers don't cheat during facility inspections, I don't know what to tell you. Every USDA organic farm I've ever had an inside track on is guilty, and that's quite a few. There is no random testing of domestic crops, only imports.[1] Domestic producers are subject to compliance, but the process is scheduled, typically sampling happens onsite, and the FDA makes announcements about crops it plans to investigate.[2]

My understanding from talking with experts is that imported produce in particular is subject to significantly greater oversight than domestic produce.

Nuclear is reliable and can run 24/7.

Wind and solar cannot guarantee production. This means you need storage. The problem with storage is you need to determine how much you want. If you decide on 1 month of storage what happens when you have limited wind and sun for a month and you are running out of stored power?

Nuclear doesn't have that problem. This is why nuclear is a must in the future.
There is a fairly close relationship between a dependently typed language, like Idris, and 'contracts' (really, pre- and post-conditions plus other propositions) in languages like Ada/SPARK, Dafny, and Frama-C.

The major differences are that most (all?) dependently typed languages are functional and require the programmer to prove the correctness of the contract in (an extension of) the language itself, while the others typically use special annotations in normal Ada/C/a generic ALGOLish language and dump the proof onto external tools like SMT solvers, all resulting in a more 'normal' programming experience.
Instead of focusing on computer use, have your relatives set up some rules to continue living at home and largely letting go. This could mean staying enrolled in courses or working a set number of hours in a job.

I'm only replying to say that, for all I know, you're correct in all of this. I don't think so, but that's a weakly held conviction about an entire ecosystem I don't use and understand only vaguely.

The fact that I personally know people keeping hundreds of thousands of dollar-equivalent-sats on Lightning, who are happy with that arrangement, is what I'm balancing against that guy on the internet with strong opinions with 'throw' in his name.

But hey maybe you know what you're talking about. It's possible. I don't.

An example off the top of my head would be writing a serializer/deserializer pair and explicitly saying they are inverses of each other, as opposed to having to implicitly say that in a round-trip property test. Another idea would be being able to say that two data representations are isomorphic under a given transformation, so I can define a function for one transformation and call it on the other. I don't know how useful this would be in practice, but it seems interesting to me!

I've only seen Windows and Mac options at work other than rare devops / sys admins who are using like red hat in some cases. Is there a generally agreed upon standard distro?

A lot of random programs that seem to be needed for corporate work, like outlook and teams, I imagine don't work or are somehow even worse on linux. Or is that what people are referring to with the junk software?

Does the general dev stack really run significantly more performant on linux distros? Significant as in uses 50% of the resources, compared to a 5% performance increase.

Windows drivers are relatively so optimized, I've seen battery life double when switching from Ubuntu to Windows on laptops although I haven't tested it in a while. The constant random headaches with webcams / mics / mice not working as expected has basically been my deal breaker in the past. Mac has been a decent medium.

Mine are around 800 GBP just to keep them a bit thinner towards the middle with some special cut. Including frames, that's just the total price I remember spending the last couple of times.

Haven't changed them for 8 years now and they're 100% scratches, they lost some protective layer a long time ago from going into the sea with them. One half is glued together. I'm just too lazy to replace them.

It tends to break down along the same lines as the C vs. C++ debate from 15 years ago.

People who are willing to accept a lot of complexity in order to solve certain problems or gain expressiveness tend to prefer Rust. It's a complex language with a rough learning curve and not-great compile times, but it does help solve some really difficult problems.

People who prefer simpler, more straightforwards languages (like C and Go) tend to prefer Zig. The core of the language is much smaller and more C-like, the (new) compiler is really fast and uses less memory in comparison to Rust or C++. The selection of features it does provide is very tasteful and clever in a way that has been really impressive. They do a huge amount with very little.

e.g.

* macros are avoided entirely by using compile time code evaluation and dead code elimination

* "generics" are implemented by using types as function arguments (no special syntax to learn) and compile time code evaluation
My biggest discomfort was with the Control center. It was way too hardcore frosted-glass effect.

I personally believe that the pulsed/inertial would be the fusion, be it energy generation or space engine (after all the only net positive artificial fusion device so far - thermonuclear bomb - is "pulsed", and so we have only a matter of engineering to scale it down :). My bet though would be on something like Sandia Z-machine or on laser (as we've had remarkable laser efficiency improvements) as they clearly create fusion conditions (and much closer to the bomb confinement wise) and burn significant amounts of fuel (thus allowing for typical established ways of energy generation) than for example Helion where the plasma clouds don't carry much fuel and thus can't produce significant amounts of energy.
This isn't an acceptable justification for what is happening. Removing people's legitimate private, non-spam, non-abusive documents should never ever happen.
"We can't surveil criminals because the cops will beat them up before they're even charged" does not seem to me to describe a problem that has absolutely anything to do with cameras.

Agree with everything above. I would also say, I spend more than 9 hours a day on my computer. Sure, it's my job, but I'm curious what "healthy computer habits" means in a world where this person will very likely be expected to spend 9 hours a day on the computer for their work. Unhealthy computer habits as a teenager are what made me able to get a job in this field without a degree. Certainly some of this was unhealthy for me, and 9 hours a day playing video games can be problematic, but ultimately I went from spending 9 hours a day in front of a computer to.... spending 9 hours a day in front of a computer.
Is it always wrong to prioritize a short term advantage over a long term advantage?

> cities and towns worth living in

Like-- this is something America has really just not understood how to do. It doesn't have much to do with e-commerce (which is still popular in places that do know how to do it).

> a sense of community rooted in part in supporting local businesses

Sometimes having a strong local business is great. But in the best case, you're limited by the tastes and curation choices of a small number of vendors-- you lose the value of the long tail. And in the worst case, you find yourself beholden to an actively exploitative and/or hostile supplier.

> not needing surveillance in every aspect of our lives because we've automated out the tacit security of being around other humans

We're personally safer and more secure in our effects than in any time before in US history (well, the best point was a decade ago, but still-- we're about the same as then). It has nothing to do with surveillance or e-commerce, and only minimally has to do with suburbia vs. city living.

In the end, I think you've just got "this feels wrong to me". I bet I could look at a choice that you've made and I'd recoil from it as wasteful and repugnant, too.

P.S. Thank you for indulging me in this conversation. I'm going to be teaching AP Microeconomics for the first time next year, and as much as anything I'm practicing being the devil's advocate.
That seems unlikely to me, since income tax has to be paid by recipients whether payment is in coin or in kind.

BTC is a kind. If I pay you in silver rounds, you are responsible for paying income tax for the convertible value of the silver at the time of payment, but not capital gains at any point.

It isn't just a Mac issue. I had a i9 / 64GB Ram windows laptop which turned into a furnace when I ran teams. I've been doing a lot of work on the couch over the pandemic and it was too hot to set on my lap.

I have since switched to a M1 macbook and it heats up too, but at least the processor is efficient so it doesn't become uncomfortable.

These issues simply did not happen on either laptop with Zoom. Teams is simply a horribly written piece of crapware. MS should be ashamed of themselves.
Financial aid is readily available at all top tier law schools for anyone that could plausibly end up a “great” lawyer. As much as I dislike the hierarchical nature of post secondary school, there is no doubt in my mind that the hypothetical person who has not distinguished themselves to the point where a top tier law school would notice them and offer financial aid by the time they’ve completed an undergraduate degree and taken the LSAT does not exist or, if they do, they are so rare as to not exist.

Now, are people who could pass the bar exam and be merely a “good” or “acceptable” lawyer being frozen out by the wealth barrier? Absolutely. But actually probably not: these people can go to a lower tier and cheaper school.
