OP also claimed "the pipeline of innovation is also empty," and then you're trying to correct me that HN is showing aspirational stuff.

So which is it? Is HN filled with content showcasing the pipeline of innovation or not?

And for European economy, let’s be honest
There's a recent science fiction book I read where one of the premises is a generation starship designed to escape an apocalyptic Earth, but for reasons never manages to launch from its underground hangar. Yet its passenger population, locked inside its habitat module, live and die through multiple generations over hundreds of years thinking they are traveling through space.
Unfortunately I wouldn't be so sure this will remain the case next year
Direct actions like what? U.S. crude production is near all-time highs. Gas is expensive because ridiculous Americans will pay it and the oil companies figured that out. Shell just announced a $12 billion quarterly profit.

The only thing I want to see out of Biden on gas prices is a windfall tax on oil companies where the funds are dedicated to lithium exploration.

Yes exactly. It's a lot easier to buy a pineapple pizza than an anchovies pizza for instance. They're both shelf-stable in a can so the expense of a pizza shop having some in stock is fairly negligible, but a pizza shop offering anchovies seems like a 50/50 proposition while just about every pizza shop in America sells pineapple pizzas.
My point is that using these tools at least makes people put these scripts within the repo instead of just in the CI server.

LOL

American, right?

Average salaries in Europe are not much higher than that

Italy: €1.740

Spain: €1.800

Portugal: €1.1160

UK: €2.200

And these numbers are after taxes (which are quite high for US standards here, but also they really are not if you wanna define yourself a decent developed Country). So the employer is spending almost 2x, which is not bad per se if you ask me, but that's still something to consider.

> . The waiter would find time to go to the beach around his work schedule if he was properly compensated.

Restaurants are closed usually at least one day/week and 2-3 weeks off-season (it depends on the geography for some it's August for others it's fall/winter).

It's just that most of them close during the week and people want to go to the beach with friends and/or family on weekends.

But then again, you don't complain that there is no job if you don't want to do any job you're cut for and are not qualified for well paid, highly skilled jobs.

Please, if you wanna discuss things, can you at least learn the bare minimum to actually have a conversation that is not entirely based on your prejudices and stereotypes?

The comments on this thread make it seem more likely that your circle of people who disliked Tom is the outlier rather than those of us who thoroughly enjoy him as a character.

Also, I submit as evidence this scifi.stackexchange thread: https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/1586/who-or-what-w...

I think Tolkien fans, on average, have long enjoyed the mystery that is Tom.
> he is irritated that an external system is pushing a new requirement onto his task list when it worked perfectly fine before.

Imo, He's honestly entirely justified in being annoyed by this. It sounds like the other team has unilaterally decided to complicate things by migrating to kubernetes and breaking backwards compatibility. If it's just as simple as updating config files to point to new IP addresses that's one thing (which would be better solved with DNS honestly) but it sounds like it's a bigger breaking change than that, which is kind of bullshit.

If you are changing an internal service at a company it's your job to get buy in from the clients of your service beforehand, not just cram the changes forward and expect them to adapt.
Ask HN: Open-source admin/control panel templates?
As a backend engineer with minimal design skills, I often have to resort to templates in order to create a decent user experience for apps that I create here and there. I have been using Tabler (https://tabler.io) a lot lately, but I'm curious about what others are using.

Why open source? Because of legal reasons, of course, but also because code quality tends to be much better, and commercial templates are bloated and convoluted, trying to squeeze as many features as possible to catch the eye of potential customers.
100% agree, it is BS the way it has played out.

Which is why default to 4 weeks - this is a bare minimum. Anything on top (i.e taking personal days off every few Fridays, etc.) is the additional benefit.
Right, and not injecting the money would have a negative long-term effect. I'm saying while it's difficult to be sure, it's at least reasonable to conclude that we traded a short term disaster for smaller long-term pain.

So let me get this straight... by making the workplace more hostile, Facebook plans on retaining top talent?

Yeah, that's how it works alright. Spot on.

They may weed out a few at the bottom, but it's going to cost them just as many from the top. Turns out, the workers you want all have options. Doing anything to make them unhappy just shoots your company in the foot.

Also the translation is a classic in Hebrew:

While in the original version in Russian the main character heads out of St. Petersburg, in Hebrew version you have the old edition, where the train goes to Egypt, but as a train connection has been cut of, during the war, the later edition features train going from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
> There are many magical creatures in Middle-Earth without a described source, which to me makes the whole story feel more magic.

As far as I know, this isn't true. Virtually all creatures and major characters in LotR have a clear source in the lore Tolkien developed. Of course, only a fraction of this lore is in LotR itself, and the rest was in notes published after his death, e.g. in The Silmarillion.

That's precisely what makes Tom Bombadil such an eye-catching exception.
Oooo I think I know that book. Really good book. I didn't see that twist coming.
I've always felt that Tom Bombadil was the Jar Jar banks of lord of the rings.

Completely pointless character that I love for that exact reason.
> That's harder to say because in large part it depends how much language evolves.

LoTR is interesting here because it explicitly contains examples of language change. In fact language change was one of Tolkien's original motivations for developing the history of Middle Earth - to provide a historical context for the evolution of Elvish. E.g. Elves being sundered during the First Age and then developing independent languages. Even Frodo is aware of 'high' Elvish. The language of the Rohirrim, to the hobbits, sounds something like Old English does to us.

Tolkien himself uses archaic modes of English to describe some of the events near the end of the story, some of which might already be difficult to understand for modern readers. One example is when he states that some characters were 'in the van' meaning 'vanguard' rather than a road vehicle.
Can I ask you what workflow you use for this? Any particular tools? What do you do for documentation that doesn't provide a download?
No, your assessment is pretty accurate. I've only encountered refs once in the wild, and only because it was too much hassle to refactor working code to use an atom.

It turns out that updating a single storage point in an atom with a CAS serves 99.9% of use cases, and is much, much simpler than ref-based code.
@dang - This US GDP figures post [1] is an example of the "increasingly tolerated politics" to which I was referring.

You claimed that politics isn't becoming increasingly tolerated, that it is merely a misperception.

That post is itself inherently (US) political. The GDP isn't posted here every quarter, so the posting of this one is a political statement.

Note also almost every top level comment is referring to (US president) Biden and the political nature of whether the US or isn't technically in recession; further evidence that it is a political post and a tolerance of politics.

It may be true that complaints about the increasingly political nature of HN are old. That can be true even if HN is slowly and steadily tolerating more politics. The former doesn't discount the latter. In fact a slow increase of political stories would lead to a long slow drip of people complaining about it, since it's increasing from a very low base.

I would at least check that the train is indeed leaving before going to sleep. Even more on a day when there were disruptions. It is at least important to be able to hear any announcements.
> built for computer science

Computer science? Never.

I did web development freelancing in high school but didn't want to be a "desk jockey" the rest of my life. So I studied Physics in college but gave up because I wasn't good enough at it and programming continued to pay well.

(In retrospect it appears that most hard science fields pay much worse than programming. Which feels unfair but is what it is. So I lucked out being not good enough at math/physics.)

I've programmed for work for the last decade. But I wouldn't call what I do computer science.
Germans speak German; wow people store information and take up the routines their understanding of that information implies. Field test complete.

Social science is based on observing the same world as “hard” science. We already have plenty of models and theory about information transmission.

Human biology retains information it’s structure encounters; social science solved.

Wrapping hard science in cultural semantics does not exclude the hard science explanation from being the right explanation. The social science explanation is superfluous and almost intentionally manipulative; professors will give extra fake points for jumping higher. But if the fake points are of little real world value, people don’t care. It’s a parlor trick that works on the ignorant, not a fundamental cognitive function of everyone.
Fascinating. I'm a mathematician turned AI researcher by day. The more I learn about biology the more I feel that our human engineering (hard and soft) is trivially simple compared to what evolution has already created and left for us to study.
The article specifically pointed out that the fraud charges are based on a single accusation of a former Ecuadoran judge whom Chevron moved him & his family to the United States, paid his income taxes, and had their lawyers coach him for 53 days.

He since recanted his false testimony.

Even if there is actually some kind of wrongdoing on Donziger's side, the blatant multi-million dollar effort to discredit him and blatantly ignore the law on Chevron's part so taints any such evidence that it should be considered worthless.

The "both-sidesing" it as you are doing, you very nicely demonstrate how it's so easy to fall into the trap of being "fair" but actually siding with the wrongdoer.
It's a typical Republican strategy over the past few decades. Republican presidents tend to tank the economy, which is then handed over to Democrats, who spend their presidency getting things back to an even keel. Then the recovering or recovered economy gets handed over to Republicans who false espouse their success in "fixing" the economy and then proceed to tank it again.
Tangentially, I've never attended a company-wide Q&A session that has gone well. It's always obvious that the C-suite wants the questions to be about company growth and strategy, but the employee questions are always about benefits, vacation time, and company policy, which the C-suites are not equipped to answer well. The Meta example in the article just further cements this opinion of mine.

I was kind of avoiding it for a while since I was concerned about rampant outsourcing for some reason. College me thought accounting or math might be a safer bet.

Well I took Programming I and ended up enjoying it enough that I really didn't mind the extra time it demanded from me to do well on the assignments, in comparison to other classes anyway. I decided to pick up a minor in CS which ended up growing into a second major with the help of a little extra time in undergrad.

12 years working now and still enjoying it for the most part.
Talk to your local politicians and demand it. This means changes in state laws as well to be less union friendly in cases where automation is replacing their jobs (I'm not saying that all union friendly laws need to go, but some specific ones)
They probably have orders of magnitude less revenue with which to pay customer service agents than Stripe has (or would have, if they hadn't delegated their customer service to the machine in the sky).

We see this in many circumstances: centralization and scale are great for efficiency, but bad for resilience.
The Reddit thread shows that OP has interacted with Stripe through Twitter DMs at a minimum.

I think their bread and butter are local entrepreneurs who use some of the machines to make their product (shirts, laser-engraved trinkets, etc.). Not sure on long-term sustainability but they seemed to be doing okay when I visited last year.

They also have a 'Custom MADE' service that local companies often use to build large and unique objects (like custom soccer goals for STL CITY soccer facilities).

They're talking about a design perspective. People like the lime green toaster because it by itself looks nice, but if they placed it in _their_ kitchen, it would probably look absolutely ridiculous unless they're designers and know how to perfectly balance such a strong color in the room.

In contrast, neutral colors will look good in any color palette and require zero design talent from your side.
Unless you have a bulk deal (which you won't even at 1.2M/annual, though you are close IIRC) you are paying 2.9% + $0.30 (also assuming you aren't using any extras).

> How much would you pay to Stripe per month?

So ($100,000 * 0.029) + (1000 * $0.30) = $3,200 / mo

> And how quickly can you move incoming payments away from Stripe?

Not an easy question. Depends a lot on your payment stack and how you implemented Stripe. I can say that for myself it took ~100 hours to fully move everything over (both online and in-person payment system) as a solo dev. I ended up moving back to Stripe because the alternatives suck even more, or at least the one I picked.
Maybe I'm being overly cautious. But just some risks to consider if you're gonna try this for the purposes of getting a look behind the scenes:

Some film sets with union folks can get very particular about who touches what. But maybe the things you'd help carry wouldn't fall under the responsibility of said union folks.

Also, if a film set has had a robbery or theft, and the crew has worked with each other long enough to know who the regular day players are, you'd stick out like a sore thumb.

But all these types of chicanery will come with such risks, I suppose.
That same definition applied to when the Trump administration caused a brief recession in 2020 due to the lockdowns, with the media screaming at him for that.

When I see the current administration which especially the media said that 'they should be doing much better' than the last one, trying to escape by changing definitions, and dodging the hard questions, everyone can tell that it is going to get worse and they knew it would, and the numbers don't lie.

Thus, given that almost all politicians are liars and have spin-doctors distorting reality, should we listen to everything they say? No. A dose of skepticism on what they are 'telling' us will unveil the bullshit that they are saying vs what is happening in reality.
Looks promising. Thanks for sharing. This also needs a CLI. I was thinking about building something like this in Rust using swc.
Your point of "Ownership, agency, and scope" resonated with me but it hasn't been my case. I have almost 30yrs experience and still struggle to earn agency and ownership on subject-matter topics/projects. Not sure what's my problem but my point is that none of these frameworks are prescriptive, only descriptive. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
There were not consecutive negative quarters in 2001.

NBER specifically says GDP is too infrequent and heavily revised to use. Here is what actually happens:

"The NBER's definition emphasizes that a recession involves a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and lasts more than a few months. In our interpretation of this definition, we treat the three criteria—depth, diffusion, and duration—as somewhat interchangeable. That is, while each criterion needs to be met individually to some degree, extreme conditions revealed by one criterion may partially offset weaker indications from another. For example, in the case of the February 2020 peak in economic activity, the committee concluded that the subsequent drop in activity had been so great and so widely diffused throughout the economy that, even if it proved to be quite brief, the downturn should be classified as a recession.

Because a recession must influence the economy broadly and not be confined to one sector, the committee emphasizes economy-wide measures of economic activity. The determination of the months of peaks and troughs is based on a range of monthly measures of aggregate real economic activity published by the federal statistical agencies. These include real personal income less transfers, nonfarm payroll employment, employment as measured by the household survey, real personal consumption expenditures, wholesale-retail sales adjusted for price changes, and industrial production. There is no fixed rule about what measures contribute information to the process or how they are weighted in our decisions. In recent decades, the two measures we have put the most weight on are real personal income less transfers and nonfarm payroll employment.”

(I think the question is better phrased using "computers" more than "computer science", since the latter is quite specific (assuming you refer to the former))

Regarding myself, I've realized it immediately when I was a child, and I saw a home computer for the first time. After getting one, I quickly got into (small) programming, by reading the manual.

I still have the same feeling of curiosity, decades after :)

I take the chance to express that in my opinion, the absolutely most important thing as a passionate SWE, is to put oneself in the conditions to maintain and feed that curiousity (within the limits of a realistic job and commitment). I can imagine that it's easy to get bored and/or burned out.
Austen Goolsbee? He was part of the Biden campaign and not a CEO. He seems like a good guy, but he’s a hack.

Most of the executives quoted said inflation was an issue, but that they thought they would be able to raise prices to match (ie we’re going to do our part to make it persistent).

Edit: A very important article. Basically the academic center-left consensus was 100% wrong, and everyone else was right.
Federal law requires that banks hold you harmless from certain perils. Your risk for the $3000 computer is limited to $50.

Money is not held until cleared. Credit cards are a cash flow business and settle very quickly, but contract terms allow the credit card to recover chargebacks or other losses by nabbing future cash flows.

My guess is the issue that triggered this is that a big transaction is a risk as a chargeback may not be recoverable as there is no baseline level of activity. Or… they suspect that the merchant is getting a cash advance outside of the terms of the contract.

Other than the lack of process to resolve the hold, I always reserve judgement on stuff like this as you never get the full story.
It is stunning that this person went to sleep before the train left the station, even more so on a day that apparently had seen some disruptions on tracks already. It feels important to me to hear any announcements and ensure everything is "on track" before going to relax and sleep.
Actually, they do. And they will hold reserves on accounts for many months to over a year if they suspect it may be fraud. The acquiring bank does this because the risk of a chargeback is high and their ability to recoup the funds may be diminished with a small account.

I've been in high risk merchant processing for almost a decade. The merchant may never get the money back until they close the account completely and wait half a year for a check in the mail.

Congrats on the funding and evaluation! At first, I was admittedly skeptical of yet another low code tool, but this seems pretty powerful. I think there is a large segment of the market that needs a drag and drop Visual Studio editor to build simple data workflows. Do you manage the underlying database for the customers, or are they connecting their own managed data stores? What are the most common use cases that you've seen large customers use this for?
