No but it looks cool. Project Gasbuggy and similar projects as well as their impacts are just part of the local folklore where I'm from.
My last job started vesting on Day 1. It was pretty nice.
Sure. I also won't claim that driving is dangerous, in the abstract: human beings take all kinds of risks, lots of them for fun, and I'm not interested in restricting others' behavior on that basis.

It's merely thought provoking: every HN thread on transit will have the same half-dozen comments about violence and danger on public transit, when the reality is that two orders of magnitude more deaths occur each year on our highways.
The SEC decides some alt-coins are securities
Your "loose-loose" problem can be easily addressed. Simply post two ads - one for a Developer, one for Senior Developer, Senior Developer range being x000 USD higer than dev range.
If mediocre candidates apply for Senior, tell them that you can only offer them the dev Position because they lack qualification x. Vice versa, you can "promote" great dev candidates to the senior dev position.
In the end, nobody forces you to hire both.
Or we could just get rid of the need to drive cars. The best part is no part.
Imagine being able to subtly influence opinions too.

Most of the used booksellers I've known are mavericks and misanthropes who love their books, resent parting with them, and run a bookstore because it's a job where they don't have to report to, or work with others.

Unfortunately, used book stores are a vanishing breed.
I think Strong Towns would suggest they should include the infrastructure involved as a point to analyze when determining root cause. For example, if a driver was speeding, could the street or road have been built in a way that better discouraged speeding?
#upvotes !~ effort put into comment

Absolutely true in the strictest sense. I've posted very detailed, well researched, citation filled comments in response to questions from people, and gotten absolutely zero upvotes before. OTOH, I've posted borderline flamebait comments that consisted of something like "Fuck the NSA" or whatever, and gotten hundreds of upvotes.

That said, I think that on balance higher quality / higher effort posts are more likely to garner upvotes. But it's definitely not a deterministic, linear correlation at all.

I wish I knew more devs like you. My life would be so much easier if we could all think like this.
On the other hand, actually having at least one real driver would a) allow that driver to make bank by being basically a monopoly, until b) other real drivers saw this and entered the market making everything kosher.
Honestly, for PCR, this is a larger N than I would guess is needed. In general, rats kept in constant conditions don't have a ton of variation, even in fairly high-sensitivity assays. I would expect a lot more samples if you were sampling wild rats from the subway system.

I recently looked at a disease course over time for several hundred genes. I only used 6 animals per time point, and both the disease mice and non-disease mice have very little inter-mouse variation at each time point for the vast majority of the genes.
The latest development: we have learned that some alt-coins are securities, because you can catch SEC charges for insider-trading them

Whether it's subjective or not doesn't matter to the topic at hand.

The status quo is, you're not getting that information upfront. It would very much be useful for you to know before sinking in several hours of effort and accumulate stress, only to figure out it doesn't at all match your preferences and the remainder of the package doesn't make up for it.

It is also one of the few things that companies can do which won't increase costs when practiced properly. That's the whole point of the root comment, and it falls flat given most job ads are secretive about almost everything.
Thank you!! We splurged on the fan for sure - but it runs more or less silent and I love hearing the fan spin up and down when it boots - makes it feel like a proper server even though it's about the footprint of an iPhone :)
Wouldn't the test of that question be whether they were able to hire the stronger candidates within the listed salary range?

I could see other things swaying stronger candidates away from applying to the jobs with salary ranges; it can be difficult to tell the distribution of salaries within the range, so perhaps they didn't want to risk being offered at the lower end of the range.
My concern with auto driver accidents is they may be systemic rather than semi-random. Ie, it’s an attackable vector that can be repeatedly exploited versus the some stochastic human error.
Almost no politician has the expertise to accurately allocate resources in a country. Why would a legislature, where expertise means nothing, result in anything better than a popular vote? There are plenty of issues politicians don't even know exist, but are nonetheless essential. Politicians in general do not know how much is necessary to maintain infrastructure of a whole variety of things. I'd expect a catastrophe.

More seriously, I don't think our current decision-makers are informed and the average person wouldn't be either. But I trust the average persons values way more than I trust those of a politician. Maybe we still wouldn't get enough funding for roads and bridges. We don't get that now. But perhaps the average person would put more money towards education and food and less towards war.
The jellyfish that never dies
>"A post a while ago on reddit was someone who was complaining about a doordasher who didn't want to wait and bring like multiple bags of cat litter like up 3 flights of stairs. The amount of inconsiderate abuse people have towards them (making them wait, navigate buildings) is a poor allocation of resources."

That's literally the "work" part of the delivery job and the reason people pay for the service and tip.
As someone who held many many different delivery jobs before smart phones and turn by turn GPS, you used to also have to figure out how to "navigate streets" to actually get to the person's house too. That was actually the thinking part of the job, the rest of it was just mechanical. The idea that an expectancy to have delivery people "navigate buildings" is "inconsiderate abuse" is pretty absurd. It's equally amusing to consider the act of waiting somehow being abusive as it's a reciprocal component of any delivery experience.

>People are of course famously bad at putting statistics into context.

We can\t , current self driving is limited in many ways and Tesla is notorious for having the driver save the day multiple time in 30 minutes and Elon is not publishing this incidents. I can't stand the fanboys coming up with fake stats that only 5 people ddied this month in a Tesla where in fact you have video evidence of more people would have died if the driver would have not saved the AI,

A Tesla employee should leak the data and we should then talk about stats, do Tesla saves the driver more then the driver saves the car. (i know that in reality FSD does not mean what the words imply and OP probably had no idea that there are no real FSD cars around that drive with no limitation so we can do real statistics)
FWIW, I'd happily pay $99 for the addition.

Note that, although bash handles this case, the terminal never interprets ^C or backspace or ^U or anything like that. That’s all in the tty driver — see OpenBSD’s termios(4) for information on how to configure it.

In general, “smart” programs like bash or vi or fzf or readline configure the termios state so that the tty driver doesn’t handle any keys. This gives them more control. When they exit, they restore the termios to the original state, so that you can still backspace in dumb programs like cat and grep.

So you might have a dance like this when you run vi:

- bash restores its saved termios, so that whatever program it’s running starts with a blank slate

- vi saves the original termios

- vi switches the termios into “raw mode” (simplification)

- you edit text …

- vi switches back to the state it saved

- vi exits

- bash saves the termios state

- bash switches to raw mode

The accident rate for "self-driving cars" (a nebulous term including both actually autonomous cars like waymo cars as well as driver-attention-required cars operating under the false advertising of "full self driving") is higher than human operated cars.

Currently "self driving cars" get in twice as many accidents as humans do per million miles driven.
Always interesting to see outsiders writing papers about this, using anecdote and unrelated data (mostly political and real world purchase data in this case) to argue that ML doesn't make useful predictions. Meanwhile I look at randomized controlled trial data showing millions of dollars in revenue uplift directly attributable to ML vs non-ML backed conversion pipelines, offsetting the cost of doing the ML by >10x.

It reminds me a lot of other populist folk-science belief, like vaccine hesitancy. Despite overwhelming data to the contrary, a huge portion of the US population believes that they are somehow better off contracting COVID-19 naturally versus getting the vaccine. I think when effect sizes per individual are small and only build up across large populations, people tend to believe whatever aligns best with their identity.

I would love to hit that senior/above senior range working remote from the midwest, but everybody I talk to adjusts heavily for COL.
Iverson usually expresses the derivative as an operator, which ties into Heaviside's operational calculus[0] but doesn't have multiplication rules like dx/dy (I'd probably be more on your side here, in favor of dx and dy). I don't think he was too comfortable with mathematical concepts that don't resolve into specific calculations. Which may be why his notation ended up being so easy to turn into a programming language. To me, Iverson's suggestivity would be more about unifying or making analogies between established concepts. For example, APL uses * for exponentiation and ⍣ for repeated function application.

It would have taken much longer to come about, if it had happened at all. International efforts are like cartels which agree that they'll share any innovations, thus stunting progress (by removing the incentive to improve).
> Most of the time, “playing devil’s advocate” is just hypocritical trolling

On reddit and twitter, I usually see the opposite of hypocritical lock-step adherence to a narrative, with any nuance and criticism being disallowed and attacked. I tend to assume bad faith for anyone completely taking one side of any complex (and therefore controversial) topic, on the internet.
I _highly_ recommend consuming more of the content put out by Strong Towns [1]. If I were to summarize their message, it's that in the past 100 years, we've engaged in a large-scale experiment to design our places around cars. This is bad for safety, bad for the economy, and (most importantly!) bad for us people that live in these places! Content and education-wise, they are my favorite non-profit :)

If you're looking for audio: their podcast [2] is great (this article came out yesterday as a podcast, and I listened to it while I was biking... and then got angry at all the cars driving around me, lol).

If you're looking for something longer-form, I'd recommend reading Confessions of a Recovering Engineer [3]. It's literally fantastic, and changed the entire way I think about the suburbs and cities. I grew up in a suburb and recently moved to the city, and had this deep, under-thought feeling that the walking/biking (and the livability that came from it) was why I loved cities so much. This book helped me understand why I felt that way, what specifically is wrong with how we build place currently - and also practical things I could do about it!

Not to be dramatic, but that book took me from pretty much _never_ thinking about place to: volunteering for a local bike advocacy group, biking twice as much, and literally being a more friendly neighbor. Effects not guaranteed, but I can't recommend this book highly enough if you're interested in this sort of thing.

P.S. I am totally unaffiliated with Strong Towns. I just really like them :)

P.P.S. If you're looking for some interesting drama, check out the lawsuit they are currently engaged in [4] with the Minnesota Board of Licensure. IANAL, but it kinda just seems like the engineering licenses boards are trying to shut down his speech because he points out that maybe letting only-technical engineers totally design our spaces isn't really the best idea!

P.P.P.S. Donate here [5]!

Also Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia so the majority of countries which joined in 2004 have the Euro. If you also count Romania and Bulgaria which joined a couple of years later exactly 1/2 of the new member are in the eurozone.
Makes no sense that a car manufacturer is speculating on exotic financial investments. You buy shares of an automaker expecting cars and related stuff.

It's the same that Tesla betting its capital in the Super Bowl.
> There is no technical (nor practical) reason you couldn't turn over the whole thing to properly engineered centralized computer control.

This is an extraordinary claim for which IMO you must provide extraordinary proof. I see zero evidence that this is technically possible today, regardless of expense or politics. It would be at-minimum a decades-long effort to computerize every car and develop central control for them.

Putting aside the tech, we’re talking about a world where many people refuse to get vaccinated due to mistrust of government. How on earth will you talk these people into government-controlled vehicles?

From my POV, the answer to “why” is not a mystery: (a) it’s literally not possible, (b) most people would be vehemently against it.
I don't have a bone to pick there, but an observation: much of that news seems to be driven by a certain prominent car CEO claiming that his cars are (1) safer, and (2) capable of self-driving (beyond a bit of driver assistance).

"Trains are safer" is a fact, but it's not a common part of messaging around why we should all take trains more often. The messaging there usually boils down to convenience, economic, and ecological arguments.
I stopped using Uber because their drivers kept ditching my pregnant friends.
The second they see them, they cancel and bail. Lyft was far more supportive.

IMO as a long time HN reader and poster, the rise in strident un-nuanced posts affirming moral or political opinions is really bringing down the quality of the site. I still defend HN as a good site with a variety of expert technical opinions, but these affirmation posts just turns HN into the worst of Twitter.

> In 2022, evaluating original research is harder than ever, due to hyperspecialization. For a typical Ph.D. thesis, there are less than five people in the world qualified to evaluate whether it's worthy of a tenure-track position.

That's simply not true for a typical PhD thesis at all. It certainly doesn't jive with my own experience, so I'd like to cough up a few examples please.

(Do hyperspecialized PhD theses like the one you describe exist? Certainly! But I refute the idea that such these are typical.)
This is exactly why.

Interviewing can easily eat up 2-3 days of your life.

You only get 15-30 days of vacation per year.

Theoretically, you are working to have free time.

This is maybe 1/5th of your free time per year. You can't waste this on unknowns.

Give me the salary up front or p#$$ off.
Unfortunately "biological sex" becomes extremely nebulous when you take into account years of cross-sex hormone treatment. Many of the genes that control sexually dimorphic traits are activated by sex hormones. Someone who's been taking exogenous hormones for years will have a very different medical profile than someone who has not.
Yeah, but you need to motivate the people that will be footing the bill and also the ones that approve the budget. The tax payers, the legislators...

The regular person will not care about technical stuff like that, but they will care about a shiny new fighting yet.
> you want to treat me as a fungible disposable fixed price asset?

I think this is the crux of the issue. Many companies invest quite heavily in improving engineers. My last company would send people to conferences, bring in consultants to train, have extended onboarding and training programs, and each engineer had a set budget for any training materials they wanted to purchase. They were absolutely not fungible or disposable. Other companies, I am sure, don't invest in their employees.

But perhaps this is just the system working: "mercenary" engineers will go work for the highest posted salary and will work at companies where they are treated as fungible and disposable. The "growth" engineers will go work at the companies where they can learn and grow and are invested in.

As long as both types of engineer make their way to the appropriate companies, the system works.

You don't need to design your way out of a problem with a custom solution every time if you just add the scroll bar.

Being fooled into believing there's no more content is often incidental: some gap in the content aligns perfectly with the bottom of the window. (This is especially the case with designer websites which use a lot of blank spaces.) You shouldn't need a custom solution.
Is that really weird? In a factory, time is produced things is money. 3x shifts is 3x things is probably close to 3x, at worst 2x money. In software development we've long learned that with 3x as many developers you're lucky if you can keep the same pace on the project, let alone improve. (It could be 2-3x as many projects, but then you have 2-3x as many operational problems again.)
I guess very much YMMV.

My experience here has been the opposite. I try not to be aggressive or antagonizing here, hard as it is via text, but at times have written things that came across as rude and things that were not popular opinions.

Most of the time one or more people would take the time to respond explaining why they feel I'm incorrect, or telling me I'm being harsh. And my upvotes usually just sit at 1, despite perhaps having 5 or more disagreement comments.

Compare that to Reddit, where even mentioning anything against the hivemind, such as disagreeing with a liberal cause, will get you downvoted to oblivion, sometimes even banned.
That's not how this works. If somebody responded to senior developer ad, they will never be happy if I give them regular developer job.

This is how human brain works.

If I started discussion with you at $150k and then negotiated down to $120k you will be permanently unhappy even if you could be happy if we started with $100k and then gave you upgrade to $120k without you even asking.

Same with bonuses. When people receive full bonus couple of times in a row they start treating it as part of their base salary and get very unhappy, feel resentful and cheated if they suddenly don't get it all.
> Allowing influence of a particular religious sect over laws is exactly akin to a state religion, which is expressly unconstitutional.

But doesn't this argument also mean "Allowing influence of religious people over laws (e.g. allowing them to vote) is unconstitutional"?

You might think that you're being completely neutral when you apply your atheist worldview to political questions, and that it is only those weird out-groups that are biased with their desire for laws that your in-group opposes, but from their perspective you are being just as biased by your religious beliefs (i.e. your beliefs about religions).

If you really think that the First Amendment was written with the intent to invalidate any policy which can be supported by some interpretation of the Bible, then you haven't thought through the consequences of that.
Not my intention! I hold no crypto stake apart from the free Keybase one and work for a non-crypto company. But the fact that you read that in my message indicates that it has been a clear part of the "offering" of crypto - that it's permissionless. i.e. there are no rules and no law enforcement.
I have a very dumb question: why would you use this instead of a traditional schema? I thought the value of json columns was to be partially schemaless and flexible

What is the use case for this versus normal column definitions, if you’re looking to enforce schemas?

I think you may be conflating the topics and goals of adjacent exercises; predicting consumer behavior is not the same thing as optimizing a conversion pipeline.
Respect. Any time burned is more valuable than anything, and that's what they deliberately tried to do.
I don't understand. What control do I have over a tired/drunk/high truck driver running a red light into an intersection I'm passing in?

I can be actually assured that no drunk driver will smash into my seat in a subway (the chance might not be zero but it's astronomically low). You may say it's not "control" because I didn't personally force all those drunk drivers out of railroads, but then again, I can't force them out of public roads either.
I was in the same situation. During my ‘welcome’ lunch, not a single member spoke to me or showed any interest. Find another job that suits you. Mental anguish isn’t worth it.
Thanks, the self-hostable AWS lambda is actually just one part.
On top you have a flow builder and platform which is aiming to provide an OSS self-hostable alternative to solutions like pipedream, airplane, aws step.
I am not necessarily aiming to replace AWS per se because a great way to host it is EC2 but what I want to reduce is lock-in into proprietary services and architecture complexity, not every lambda need to scale to a 1M req/s.

Supabase is actually a great comparable, complementary and inspiration. Ideally, windmill allow tech teams and startups to focus on their business logic of their internal tools, not the infra to run it.
