Yes that's true, but for political reasons we would have to impose those sanctions and accept the chaos. Fortunately the mainstream political establishment has now recognized China as a real threat, and steps are being taken to decouple strategic industries. Hopefully some significant progress will be made before China builds up enough amphibious lift capacity to effect an invasion of Taiwan. At this point it's a race.
>in different companies used mostly for accounting, logistics, and some POS systems that were entirely lacking any IT department or even the odd tech geek.

I saw this as well, at least in a way. As a contractor a few weeks out of college, I worked at a regional telco provider that had an AS/400 used for accounting etc. While a reasonably tech-ey firm (they were an ISP as well as providing pager service, frame relay, and other fun relics of a another era), nobody really knew how the AS/400 worked so they were a little wary of letting the new guy use it. It hadn't ever gone down to anyone's recollection, but they were pretty sure that with the staff they had they wouldn't know how to quickly bring it back up if things went pear-shaped.
Yep - the decent companies tend to pay like €60-70k though.

It's really bimodal, like in OP's post. The big multinationals tend to pay decent wages and the others pay a pittance.

I did not see it listed here, so I will mention Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, who, among other things, discusses news in particular, but digital distractions in general and proposes a way to deal with it by changing our relationship with technology.

I am currently going through the steps proposed by him and while not easy, it generally supports the point of the article.

That said, it is not just news.

edit: Just in case. No connection to the author other than being a happy reader.
Yes. It was never upside-down.

The fact the cells are not aligned with our visual representation doesn't mean it's "upside-down". Like you said, it's undefined, and the brain figures out what these cells represent.

There's no flipping going on.
Almost ten years ago now I found a site that would help show you all these visual inaccuracies. It was like a more interactive version of the wikipedia article on our blind spot. I haven't been able to find it for years, but it was an awesome exposé into how non-objective our vision is.

If anyone knows of this, please remind me! I've been looking for it for years.
you could say that to mean the money power of anyone/anything, what's the point in doing that
No. I do feel like k8s will be superceded with vendor specific offerings though. Even with a CKA I think there's just too much overhead with what is fundamentally /usually compute at scale.

RMRK | React full-stack developer | Remote (EU time zones) | Full-time | Up to $60,000

RMRK is a next-generation NFT protocol of composable, evolvable, forward-compatible, multi-chain NFTs. Founded in August of 2020, the team was formally created in February 2021 and has released several platforms and products since.

We are looking for a Full-Stack Typescript developer, with strong front-end skills. Namely React/Typescript/Next.js

More information: https://github.com/rmrk-team/rmrk-web/wiki/Full-Stack-React-...

> all technical challenges has been solved

That's a broad claim.

> we're focusing on building instead of scaling

if you're still building, are you not running in to any challenges at all? Not even 'hrm... this could be refactored so that we can reuse XYZ in multiple areas'?

> I feel that I'm not growing as a software developer.

How many tests do you have? What is your documentation like? What is the onboarding experience of bringing someone new in to the project? Do you have any sort of metrics/logging/observability instrumentation in place?

All of these are, imo, at least as important, but possibly moreso, than just "the software works".
Thanks!

Yeah I feel like taking the job would be a good move, but since you mentioned risk I wanna ask.

Wouldn’t not taking the job be the risk taker option? The current offer I know is good and most of what I want. Or I could turn it down and continue applying (rolling the dice) on getting an even better job offer in the next month or so?
>"It's easy to point at Germany and tell them they have only themselves to blame, for becoming so dependent on Russian gas"

They were stupid to shutdown their nuclear stations. That is for sure.

"

The US and the rest of the Western world wanted cheap manufacturing. They got what they wanted. They've lifted whole bunch of Asian people out of poverty, made China a superpower, got some Western haves to get insanely rich and at the same time it allowed poor Joes Schmoes still enjoy a bit better life. It was good while it lasted. Now it seems that the love affair comes apart.
One of the reasons I LOVE home solar and BEVs. It makes us so much more resilient to outages and disasters and disruptions on the critical aspects of energy, heating/cooling, and transportation.

How much would germany kill to have a robust home solar installation right now? Even if you reduce dependence buy 20-30% from previous levels, that opens options for other sourcing.

And, uh, how about people bundle up and live in chillier houses? Christ they don't even really go under freezing that much. Sleep under thicker blankets.

There's other options: crash programs for insulation. wood stoves.

But I agree, there absolutely should be a minimum local sourcing for most products. We certainly do it for agriculture effectively with trade barriers and other regulation.

These ultra-extended supply lines are outgrowths of monopoly and cartel economics which dominate our markets rather than a robust amount of competition (which would enable options as well as alternate sourcing). We need a lot more competition and antitrust enforcement. The amount of political power handed to both state powers and the monopoly companies that are their partners is outlandish and dangerous.
The implication is that it's better to not be reliant on an adversary. Some level of reliance on reliable allies is fine.
Interesting. Though the lack of any cost estimate for this 1 MW facility does not inspire confidence.
You need hydrogen to produce synthetic methane, and plants to produce it. The larges source of H2 globally is from you guessed it, natural gas. To get if from electrolysis, you need an electrolysis plant near your synthetic methane plant and both need to be near water because it's difficult and dangerous to store H2. All of that would take more than months. You could probably replace a large number of boilers in 3 months. Not enough to solve the problem, but enough to make a dent. Electric boilers, while less efficient than heat pumps, only cost around $700 each and are basically a 1 for 1 replacement for a gas boiler.
TLDR: Discord sucks. We're building the web3 alternative at Console: Decentralised, open-source, and users are verified with smart contracts.

Hey, Everyone!

Web3 needs a (much) better alternative to Discord. That's what motivated us to build Console: The decentralised chat app for decentralised communities. Because Web3 (and everyone!) deserves better.

You may know this, but...

Discord sucks.

"In the first two weeks of June alone, hackers have compromised dozens of Discord servers, seven of which occurred just in the last three days. One blockchain analyst tallied 41 hacks occurring between June 1-10." (via Wave of Discord Hacks Is Making the Crypto Crash More Painful for Investors)

Did you know that in May of 2022 alone, 70 Discords were breached? (via @OKHotShot)

From June 2 to July 2, 107 NFT Discords were breached (via @OKHotShot)

Discord can collect your data and share it with third parties (via Mozilla Foundation Privacy Guide)

And...Telegram sucks, too.

Telegram's chat default isn't end-to-end encryption.

It collects your data: Telegram keeps your records, such as username changes, IP addresses, etc. (via Telegram’s Privacy Policy).

What makes Console so special?
-> Decentralised
Identity, voting, and multisig transactions will be on-chain and decentralized.

Chat conversations and select file storage will not be fully decentralized in order to optimize for scale and speed.

Moving forward, we’ll apply a progressively decentralized approach based on the needs of our communities.

--> Open-source
Read our code, contribute to the repo, and help us build a better future for Console.

--> Console is secure, by design.
Users are verified with smart contracts (not third-party bots).

Identity is stored on the blockchain.

Unlike Facebook, Instagram, Discord and nearly every other social media app, Console doesn’t own your identity, you do.

Exploited bots account for a majority of Discord’s identity hacks: Through the use of blockchain-secured decentralized identity — we’ve eradicated this entire class of vulnerabilities.

-->Console is community owned.
After Console launches we’ll open the ConsoleDAO, an organization with the mission of influencing, contributing to, and sharing in Console’s future growth.

We believe passionately that we — the Web3 community — are building the future of work, governance, and a new creator economy. Therefore, we must build on a foundation that we can trust. A foundation that respects our vision and values.

We're hiring! Learn more at our jobs page.

Feel free to comment below with questions and thoughts. We'd love to hear your feedback! You can also reach us out Twitter. DMs open!

We're launching soon, and are currently onboarding communities slowly to ensure maximum feedback from our users.
Well, a good attempt was made with the TPP.

But I think the difference is that China is more of a potential threat while Russia has long been a malicious actor. Germany should have known better and had several options they actively turned down (shuttering Nuclear plants for example).
Turning off all notifications on my personal phone was a life changer. No longer I feel like I'm wearing an electronic collar. Giving everyone who has your contact information access to your attention is poison to the ability to concentrate. Another big thing for me was cutting down on infinite scrolling, blogs and videos and spending a lot more time with long form content (mainly books). Attention is our most precious resource and we should guard fiercely against attempts to monetize it.
I've heard too many women share stories about predominately male doctors being completely dismissive of symptoms as a generality.

It really boils down to the basic cultural tendency for men to simply not trust what women are saying on nearly any subject. There's no way you could know what's wrong with you, there's no way you could understand math, there's no way you can tell me how to patch drywall, etc.
Cigarettes -- i.e. Nicotine plus MAOIs (1970s anti-depressants) are addictive.

However, Nicotine itself is not addictive, it's habit-forming. Those are completely different neural pathways at work and completely different forms of interaction.

I can't find it right now, but there was a great paper where they gave non-smokers -- i.e. people who had never smoked, 24mg patches for a month or two, then did follow-up at 6 months. Now, 24mg is around 12 - 24 cigarettes. That's way above the amount for addiction, actually the amount is so extreme you would expect them to have had extreme difficulty with getting off them, and yet at 6 months none of them reported using pure nicotine -- also termed under "nicotine-replacement therapy" -- afterwards.

Your article from 1995 is not representative of newer research on the topic with respect to pure nicotine, versus cigarettes. In addition, nicotine outside of cigarettes is a newer distinction to be made, most pre-2000s papers do not make that distinction.
The problem is that "friendly" systems designed for the computer illiterate tends to be obstructive and unproductive for the vast majority of everybody else and that holds just as much in a real-life office as it does on a computer screen.

The term of computer illiteracy is useful in more than one way, and that is literacy. We don't structure our societies (including basic government services) around people who cannot read, instead, we we structure them around the understanding that the average citizen can read, and treat regular illiteracy as a problem to be solved, and in the first world where computer literacy is even a problem that can exist, it mostly has.
Ah, ok, then sorry for misunderstanding...
If you have DoH enabled, it's hard. If you don't, with OpenWrt, it's easy enough to configure its DNS server to add IPs to ipsets after a lookup, then configure the firewall to drop those requests over a time window.

> US is the worst of all outcomes--expensive and getting nothing out of it.

Seattle in particular has turned to abusive gaslighting:

Per capita, Seattle citizens pay nearly the most in the country — only for politicians to prey on that, by pocketing the money and heaping abuse (“yOu’Re nOt cOmPaSsIoNaTe!”) on the public to exploit their good nature.

I’m at the point I hope a Republican administration drops the RICO hammer on the racketeering — these people need jail for a decade for their treachery.
Migraine rescue medications that target CGRP receptors like Nurtec or Ubrelvy would help with this. They're modern migraine meds and have no side effects for me.

> What advantage would it provide to make it harder to distinguish individual soldiers?

Distinguishing individual soldiers is an important step in counting the size of a line. Accepting "red coats blend together" as truth, that would make it more difficult for an opposing general to determine which parts of a battle line were stronger or weaker, thus making it more difficult to preposition forces to exploit weak sections.

Once the battle was joined the camouflage effect would not have mattered as much, but before the deployment of radio it was also very, very difficult to change battle plans "on the fly."
There's a few other supra-GPL copylefts that impinge on the freedom to privately fork:

* The OpenWatcom license requires source code publication on use. This was approved by the OSI but not FSF, which means its one of the few times a license can be described as Open Source but not Free Software.

* SSPL extends AGPL's copyleft clause to include support utilities, which didn't pass muster at either OSI or FSF (which is inconsistent with the OSI's prior opinion on OpenWatcom but )

IMHO, Google's not wrong to reject AGPL. The license makes it very difficult to use modern fork-and-pull-request workflows unless you write all your code to be a quine. And the lack of people using it makes it mostly useful as an exception sales vector rather than a legitimate renegotiation of the copyright bargain like GPL is. But Google's objection to it is rather weird, based on some hypothetical scenario of "GPL virality" making them publish internal tools. This is a misreading of underlying copyright law; I have yet to see a court demand specific performance of any source code publication requirement[0]. They will give you money damages and possibly an injunction prohibiting use of the specific application in question - not your entire internal stack.

[0] Practical example: that one time Atari hired a subcontractor to republish old Humongous Entertainment games on Wii and wound up infringing the GPL on SCUMMVM. Atari actually considered GPL compliance, but then realized that this would violate their obligation from Nintendo not to disclose game source at all.

> People get confused because they've conflated socialism and communism, where communism is a means of controlling and distributing the means of production across the people; an economic model that differs from socialism which puts the needs of the people in control of the state; but allows innovation outside of that.

This is incorrect. Socialism is workers owning the means of production. Communism is a post-capitalist classless stateless society. When people say socialist in terms of the Nordic countries, it is more about social democracy than workers owning the means of production.
Shifting to a combination of rolling our own and using headless component libraries, which focus strictly on functionality and let you handle all styling. So much of the original bloat comes from the libraries' built-in styles that you then have to override creating a mess of styles; this is totally avoided with headless libraries.
nuclear energy is so expensive, take the new plants in the US and france that are being built. 10-20 years in construction, 10x over costs. You can't really build a new nuclear plant in 1-2 years

Yeah, that's kind of cheating... it runs Rust after compiling it to WASM and running that inside a JS runtime! Anyone thinking of using that should definitely consider just using WASI instead as Rust, as Zig, can compile to WASM/WASI (for those who don't know, WASI is like a POSIX for WASM, so WASM-compiled programs have access to a POSIX-like API, and therefore don't depend on the Web APIs like the Rust-compiled-to-worker solution does).
Cascade Public Media (KCTS9.org/Crosscut.com) | App Developer | Full-time | Hybrid (Seattle, WA area)

I'm looking for an iOS/tvOS or Android/Fire TV app developer (the PD currently asks for iOS/tvOS but we are flexible) to help maintain and build streaming apps for our KCTS9.org video content (Seattle area PBS affiliate). We have been working with firms for the past few years to build and release Roku, tvOS, Fire TV, iOS, and Android apps and are now looking to start building a small in house crew to maintain and move those apps forward. For now this will be the only app developer position at the org so we are hopeful that we can find someone with some level of experience and ability to work independently.

Position is technically hybrid but the Digital Product team remains remote for now (and will work to stay that way for as long as we can, hah).

Feel free to email me (via HN profile and personal website) if you have questions.

I would imagine that not only large, but also likely quite capable. If the IT staff to be hired at google goes through a similarly tough gauntlet as the software devs and SREs (and other similar product-producing) roles, then i can imagine those IT staffers really know what they're doing...at least they'd have to be good enough to get into the doors of google; which i guess is not easy.

ArgoCD was our missing lynch pin for getting workloads migrated over and supported.

It makes it that much easier to actually use the cluster rather than mess with endless configuration tooling. Is it the best engineered tool? Probably not. But it's the one that works best for us.
Another weird trend of this is that these self-diagnoses are brought up as if they're personality traits. From what I've seen, Gen Z is much more likely to introduce themselves to others by saying things like "My name is [xyz] and I'm bipolar transfluid asexual with depression" or similar
"Just read through the debates of what gets proposed for inclusion, and then think about the stuff that's outright deleted."
As the other comment with his wife and the NICU situation noted, the point here is people should be left to deal with life if they’re going through some shit.

IIRC the bereavement exclusion was six months? This made sense to me, if you had some terrible event in your life and you’re not back to something resembling your baseline mood and function after roughly that time period there’s probably something going on that needs to be looked at.

To me this is the mental health equivalent of “Sorry you sprained your ankle and it hurts a little, here’s a month of OxyContin and what could very well be a lifelong addiction”. We don’t do that anymore - today you’ll get ibuprofen and ice.

Even with more serious injuries you’re more likely to get lifestyle suggestions, physical therapy, etc than opioids.

In many cases we’re throwing pills that change mood and brain chemistry at people suffering from what is basically “life”. I’m not saying people shouldn’t be treated, I’m saying general practitioners throwing SSRIs at someone and diagnosing them with depression after talking to them for literally five minutes doesn’t seem right to me.

But it is easier and faster than hours and hours of therapy.

What comes first? An irresponsibly written anti-depressant prescription because someone said they have depression, or someone says they have depression because someone irresponsibly wrote them a prescription for an anti-depressant?
The author updated the document to say that they worked with google security and the problems have been resolved. So it wasn’t ignored.
