I'm at the same level of partial knowledge where I agree with you. My understanding is that everything in the universe interferes with everything else, but we assume, with some justification and empirical success, that the impact of sufficiently distant or indirect effects is negligible. That's demonstrably close to true for systems of a certain small size or complexity, but it doesn't seem remarkable to me that the assumption might fall apart with a wider perspective.
That's a funny way of spelling job security

And yet, SW professionals did just fine for decades when making anywhere from a quarter to a third of today's FAANG salaries (inflation adjusted).
In the short term, absolutely no asset class is immune to fed monetary policy ie interest rates, QE/QT. In the long run, fiat has only lost value relative to all hard assets (gold, RE, Bitcoin etc) I'm not sure how what you're saying is an indictment of Bitcoin or gold.

The first hot dog man provided nice white gloves for his customers to hold the wieners and toppings with. They were supposed to be returned after use, but evidently they were too fancy and many customers would hang onto them. His wife suggested serving the wieners in a bun instead.
It’s using an HTML <input type=number> element, which requires that the value be a valid floating-point number <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/common-microsyntaxes....>. You’ll note from this that exponent notation is allowed, something people are unlikely to expect. For restricting negative numbers, it should probably had the attribute min=0; then negative zero would be the lowest you could go.

> "The Dragonfly project was an Internet search engine prototype created by Google that was designed to be compatible with China's state censorship provisions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragonfly_(search_engine)

At least the project was leaked by a MAMAA employee (it's no longer FAANG), but there might be a kind of 'internal social credit score program' being applied in the Big Tech world to get rid of those with pesky moral standards...

Incidentally this is a major reason why democratization of corporations is important - I tend to believe the regular rank-and-file would be less willing to implement something like this than the top shareholders would.
On one hand, it sounds like it's only on marketing pages, which I never visit anyways.

On the other hand, in December 2020, they said "We are also committing that going forward, we will only use cookies that are required for us to serve GitHub.com" and apparently in corporate terms, a "commitment" lasts less than two years now.

Presumably the main change here is Nat made this commitment and Nat has since left Microsoft, but it's hard to believe their marketing team thinks the data value from a couple marketing pages is worth the PR hit from this. Just a dumb--- business move, really.
I don't entirely disagree with your point. However you and that person in Laos both have to work to put a roof over your head and food in your plate.

There's an absolute threshold at a few million dollars that guarantees financial independence wherever you are in the world. These rich people are well above that threshold. That's why it is more ridiculous to chase ever more money at their level than it is for you to purchase an expensive bike.
Not at all. There are plenty of ways to study self reported effects. You'd just have to compare reports from those who experienced a trip vs not, or find another clever method of controlling for the trip experience.
I am drinking something without a straw right now and maybe I just have a sophisticated technique but I seem to be putting the liquid into my mouth back over my tongue to the same overall place it goes when using a straw?
I guess. It’s a minimal amount of material that’s made from a waste product anyway. Pottery and glass last just as long, or longer.

Something made of cellulose that breaks down more easily would be better, so long as it comes from agricultural byproducts.

*edit I’m saying this might be better because some light plastics like straws end in in storm drains and on road sides, so something that breaks down over time into organic compounds might be preferable.
This is one alternative the USA has chosen, but obviously not the only one.

I have been interested on sustainability before 2000 (got education for sustainability certificate yada yada) and years later I became a dev. I looked for years for a remote work on sustainability but it was difficult. The pandemic opened the gate to remote work and Biden policies the momentum for investments. I'm currently working for Bractlet (we're hiring, you can find us in the current whoishiring thread) and before them I was working for CarbonCure (I think they are also hiring). Both great companies.

Real impact? I don't know as I'm obviously biased as my salary depends on that. Reducing concrete footprint (the most used construction material and with gigantic carbon footprint) sounds a good bet. Reducing building energy consumption is also a good bet. Other things that are interesting is working in lab meat (not sure it's a place for devs yet).

I'm happy with the switch and I don't see myself doing anything else with my working time until we solve this as species.

Where do you find them. YC has a climate startups (), LowerCarbonCapital has a jobs board, and you can always ctrl-f "climate" in the whoishiring thread. Tip, search for green VCs and check their portfolio one by one.
I assumed the "they're" referred to the "rotating proxies" not "zillow".

One aspect I don't see mentioned much, if at all, is that the "C" in "IRC" stands for "chat", and that, to me, has always equated to in-real-life chats.

If I'm not present when friends are chatting I don't get to replay what they were saying before I arrived, or after I leave.

I think that is the fundamental disjoint - features are attributed to IRC that were not intended, and then attempts to bolt them on through services, bouncers, or whatever, is never going to create a seamless rich experience that many seem to want.

For me, IRC has always been the avenue for mostly throwaway, real-time at-this-moment off-the-top-of-my-head stream-of-consciousness discussion, with Usenet or forums and email mailing lists for more long-running considered and logged discussions.

I've never been impressed or attracted to products that try to force the two styles together.
Recently did the same. TypeScript's type system is amazing. Shame I hate JavaScript so much.

Well, the shareholders provided the money that allows any of it to exist at all. If there's was nothing flowing back, there'd be nothing for institutional investors. IPOs would be worthless which means there'd be no exit for VCs. Everyone would love to just get money with no obligation to give anything back, but that's not the way the world works.

> Bayeux War Cemetery

I visited France a month or two ago, the first time since COVID, and ended up staying in Verdun for a couple of days. The sheer scale of the cemeteries, forts, battlefields, etc. is sobering. (At the same time, the city itself is a bit of a hidden gem, with nice parks and a beautiful river full of fish.) One thing I noticed was the handful of American monuments and cemeteries in that area were immaculately taken care of, even though the people buried there would be great-grandfathers by now and there were very few visitors to appreciate it.

You say that, but companies that cut tech too deep will probably get crushed under a mountain of technical debt or gradually lose goodwill due to buggy or stale products.

Point is, it's possible to ship crap with a small crew. But the cuts won't come uniformly from scoping back or removing low productivity engineers. You'll also see corners cut, upgrades delayed, security flaws ignored, and so on.
Just a few random comments from the designer...
- All my kits are strictly 1980's vintage thru-hole parts.
- No 4-layer; it's all plain old 2-layer, and with bigger traces and spaces than modern PCBs.
-Early kits had the PC compatible parallel port. Current kits have a 6-digit 7-seg display instead (since no one seems to have parallel ports any more).
- Even without an EPROM, a serial loader is only about 30 bytes.
- The 1802 has built-in DMA; so if you add a UART, no software is needed for serial loading.
- Mike Riley's 1802 diskless ELF/OS EPROM has a monitor, debugger, assembler, emulator, BASIC, VTL, FORTH, and lisp; all in just 32k.
- The 1802 is still in production, but mainly in mil-spec (expensive) versions. But they're not hard to find on the surplus market.

No. What might emerge are hydrogen molecules (following quark confinement, free neutron decay, chemistry, etc.). The "information" to "reconstitute" the unfortunate astronaut's body is diffused forever.

I don't disagree on cutting these roles first, but I don't think it's a function of these roles being non-important; rather when a company stops growing these roles have less utility. Less about the role and more about the company priorities which shift when growth stalls. No one is sales is going to advocate for less marketing spend.
Yeah that's not a social credit system. It's a censored search engine. I'm fine with that, as a Google employee.

Thanks for your kind words
Plenty of ordinary sales people are 100% commission based.

Plenty of CEOs already do (or did during their tenure) take no material base salary and their compensation is tied entirely to the performance of the company.

Is that not reasonable for large, profitable businesses. It has its own issues, but what compensation plan doesn’t?
I wonder if the problem is that it doesn't understand what "the lights" is? It must depend on how you've tagged these things, right?

In the Phillips* Hue app at least, they have the idea of lights independently, but you can also group them into rooms and stuff like that. So the multiple bulbs in my floor lamp are in a "lamp" grouping but also a "living room" grouping. It all seems quite flexible.

What about something like "all lights" "living room lights" etc etc?

* Or rather, whoever bought that brand from Phillips
IMO microservices primarily solve organizational problems, not technical problems.

They allow a team to release independently of other teams that have or want to make different risk/velocity tradeoffs. Also smaller units being released means fewer changes and likely fewer failed releases.
Show me a report, anything that says people are buying lots of Teslas to resell them for a profit.

Oh wait you can’t. What’s your argument, raising prices was a preemptive strike against scalping? That makes sense. Really your point was disproven like 5 posts ago. Inflation across the supply chain is obviously the reason for price increases.

Sorry it’s not all a conspiracy with Tesla lying about their motives. Maybe that’s easier to believe than accepting that you could be wrong.
The surface of the earth is curved, but it’s also a 2 manifold so you can talk about “straight” lines.

IRC is free, it will be there next year, doing the exact same thing.
That's pretty funny. Some of his posts reminded me of playing in my local group back 10+ years ago.

After a while I started to notice that the players I respected most would kind of dip in and out of activity. They were supportive when they could be.

They never, ever played in the tournaments.

Then I played my first tournament and got absolutely smoked first round by a player who played really well, and complained to judges a lot, AND cheated every chance he got. Then he destroyed just about everybody else, and seemed to get even more angry with everybody else that he played.

This at a _pickleball_ tournament. It felt like we were moments away from somebody throwing down.

From that standpoint, I could _absolutely_ see somebody going home and deciding to mock tf out of this sport.
That's not how it works. The central tenet is that you consider a cipher secure if you can prove mathematically that breaking that cipher is equivalent to solving a difficult problem, such as the factorization of a large composite number.
Anger as a company leverages war and scarcity to make egregious profits, lining their own pockets and deepening the poverty of people who were already struggling. That's called profiteering, not capitalism.
Changing the title ( which is not even exciting) and correlating this to a population of 300 million is deceptive at least.

And also not allowed on HN
The technique used means that it always takes a while to load it, as it’s reloading it after every change, which is generally taking around two seconds for me. You make it still worse by using 'change' and 'keyup' events, so any key press (e.g. left/right arrow) triggers it. It should use the 'input' event.

Even if it were done as a separate page, it should still be shown or hidden via the CSS display property in order to avoid this reloading.
I know I’m a mere small drop in a large bucket, but I take solace in knowing there were plenty of other drops like me that eventually wrecked that bucket.

Particularly when you consider how poor our outcomes are relative to our spending.
Not a joke, I swear.

Work in property insurance/reinsurance. I spent the last 16 years in that world and contemplated climate change nearly the entire time. Insurance not seen as all that sexy, but I think it's one area where climate matters in a very practical way.

Except using Java ecosystem as-is would not be idiomatic in Clojure, which means you need an ecosystem of wrapper libraries. I recall someone making similar argument on some other post, on how it adds more space for bugs, performance issues, and still making it hard to work with. The context was in comparison to Kotlin, where using Java ecosystem is much nicer experience.

Hate to go there on HN but there _is_ a moral side to this.

Dr Sabine Hossenfelder explained why this is all just an an illusion:

>What’s going to happen with this new solution? Most likely, someone’s going to find a problem with it, and everyone will continue working on their own solution. Indeed, there’s a good chance that by the time this video appears this has already happened. For me, the real paradox is why they keep doing it. I guess they do it because they have been told so often this is a big problem that they believe if they solve it they’ll be considered geniuses. But of course their colleagues will never agree that they solved the problem to begin with. So by all chances, half a year from now you’ll see another headline claiming that the problem has been solved.

>And that’s why I stopped working on the black hole information loss paradox. Not because it’s unsolvable. But because you can’t solve this problem with mathematics alone, and experiments are not possible, not now and probably not in the next 10000 years.

And if they'd over hired, their business could still be in the same place (or worse) next year. People should just say they don't think executives should earn that much money (in good times or bad) rather than making moral justifications like this.

No?
