Money is supposed to represent production (agricultural, industrial and services) and it's usage is a way we invented to share a country production between the participants.

The fact that you can claim a part of the production without producing yourself is silly (and necessary since we age), but that's how the system work.

Now, the morality of how you do it, wether you are doing that by owning land, owning stuff already made, scamming old people, receiving government pensions or using predatory endeavors to capture money from a captive public, doesn't come from the system. This morality we decide collectively by voting laws an politicians who have a view on the question. There, you can have socialist, liberal or conservative morality (and a few other) to choose what is acceptable or not. For example, conservative are deontologists (in my country) while you have a mix of deontologism and nihilism amongst people on the far right (and far, far left).

All that to say you probably aren't an Uber -capitalist (i had a whole paragraph to explain what it meant to me and that this doesn't exist anymore in developed countries, but i had to go deep and it wasn't that interesting)

In addition to working out and generally improving my health, I had an ergonomic review done of my workspace. The biggest win was moving to a split keyboard, since I was hunching up my shoulders with a "normal" keyboard.

It also helped to raise up my monitors to a consistent height that removed the need to tilt my head down, but the split keyboard completely solved some neck and shoulder pain issues.

In my comment history I stated that in a lot of ways NFTs feel like they were moving towards the old-school DRM. It appears others have caught onto this -- I don't like this movement.
You're also making yourself too vital to whatever you're doing now - if the conceit is that the team/division/practice/company can't function without you doing your job you'll never be able to be promoted out of it.
If you’re making a 3d game with a customed designed renderer, then what should I use instead of Vulkan though? (The real answer for this is DX11, but assume I care a bit for cross-platform and relatively less vendor lock-in.) Skia is only for 2D graphics, OpenGL has shit drivers on Windows, and WebGPU is still work-in-progress and isn’t something you should depend on just yet. Between DX and Vulkan, there isn’t really that much choice.
Social media partisanship, when juiced by foreign influence campaigns, not only alter the online conversation - they make it impossible to know the "real" sentiment in the country.

Too many news media outlets start their daily reporting from "what's trending on twitter", not appreciating the degree to which those trends are being pushed by malicious parties (both foreign and domestic), and in no way represent the real dialogue Americans are having.

The FBI has published numerous reports on explicit online influence campaigns carried out by foreign organizations attempting to polarize US domestic online dialogues. ...and they do this be radicalizing the conversations on both sides.
Wow, that's a cool system! I wish we had something like that here in Silicon Valley. A significant fraction of supermarkets here don't even have self-checkout.

Classic paper. I’ve always implemented SSA conversion using roughly this approach (though the details in my code might be different). Bottom line though: dominator trees and dominance frontiers are your friend.

I understand the sentiment and I hear your statement but all of us trade with those "other" places (the "east/west coasts") and most of us have friends in those places, too. You know too that, in your heart of hearts, your very humanity would pull you to help were something catastrophic to happen to those places.

We're all in the same boat and we have learned the value of rowing together versus throwing others overboard. If that means sometimes you eat crow and other times you serve it up, so be it. I too wish there were more on the menu than crow, but that's why we have scientists: perhaps our grandchildren can eat lobster.
Hey, I wanted to chime in and say that I too am underwhelmed with the support for async in Python libs. Coming from a node.js background, it falls short because you constantly have to think about whether async code is calling sync code, or vice versa, and whether you need an executor, threadpool, etc. Just a mess that gets in the way of productivity IMO.

However, things have been getting better, and in case you haven't seen it, AIORedis[0] appears to be the de facto standard for async in Python (a little better with 1,724,389 downloads this month). It's popular enough that it's been merged with the official redis-py driver[1].

Just two years ago I had a developer I worked with on a regular basis, he is a Total Commander power user. He never opens Explorer or navigates the file system outside Total Commander.

There is still a ton of weird Windows utilities being developed and maintained. While I personally don't like the platforms, there is a lot of safety in knowing that you can learn a tool and then almost 30 years later, it's still available.

I'm still confident that if you want to future-proof your application, C++ and Windows is the platform to go for. Even if I don't like it.
I other words, you are willing to commit insurance fraud (or shoulder the risks of being uninsured) and violate visa laws and hope nobody finds out. But at least no one will accuse you of being of an "anti-globalist perspective".

(For what it's worth, I think it would probably be a win for many countries to make it feasible to get some short-term-ish remote work visa if you are unlikely to burden them or drive down local wages).
> It wasn't a genderbent Wolverine or Iron Man

But Huntress (Helena Bertinelli) was a genderbent Batman. Supergirl is gender-bent Superman.

In fact, every male superhero has a female counterpart. Captain Marvel / Shazam has Mary Marvel. Superman has Supergirl. Batman has Batgirl, actually 3 different batgirls.

---------

The only question for "longtime DC Fans" for Batgirl is: are they doing Cassandra Cain or are they doing Barbara Gordon? There's like 3+ long-running batgirl stories that go back decades.

Besides, both Cassandra Cain and Barbara Gordon are both unique characters who take up the "Batgirl" costume to the disdain of Batman. Its not like the "obvious" genderswap version (Huntress / Helena Bertinelli) who was kind of "obviously" written to be a female-version of Batman.

Cassandra Cain is League of Assassins originally. She never learned proper language / speaking skills and is overcoming illiteracy. She's unsocialized, extremely awkward, etc. etc.

Barbara Gordon is Commissioner Gordon's daughter, and is often a bit campier as a result. (The Police Chief certainly doesn't want his daughter in danger, but she goes out and helps Batman anyway). She's more of a fangirl of Batman and arguably connects with female fans in a more natural way.

Neither Cassandra Cain nor Barbara Gordon are rich, nor powerful, nor CEOs. Cassandra Cain was "League of Assassin" trained before Batman was (it was an interesting twist to have them train him in the 2000s era films, but that's really Cassandra / Damian's story)

---------

The first "Batgirl" was in the 1960s, and "Barbara Gordon" version of Batgirl was all over the original 1960s campy "Batman" live action TV show.

There's literally 60+ years of Batgirl history here. Its suddenly weird to complain of wokeism when the character has such a long history in comics and TV.

-----------

The only criticism I have, is that they didn't do Batgirl sooner. After all, there was the "Birds of Prey" movie, and Batgirl should have "graduated" into Oracle (her full-time superhero gig) for the Birds of Prey to get together. Batgirl is kind of the "awkward fangirl" thing she does as a kid. In my groups where I talk about comic books, everyone was wondering where the hell Oracle was in the Birds of Prey movie.
I wonder if at-will employment in the US influences this. If I'm bus factor 1, they're less likely to fire me.

I have anxiety around losing my job, which makes me more likely to say yes to piling on tasks. It doesn't seem so crazy when you consider my healthcare is directly attached to my employment.
I have worked at both startups and tech companies 40+ years old, and the conclusion I've come to from my anecdata is that every engineer at every company is swamped all the time.

Feature requests and bug reports are easy. Writing features and fixing bugs is hard. Your todo list will always grow faster than you can tackle items. Once a senior engineer retired, and I inherited about a hundred of his bugs out of the 600 or so he left behind.

It's a marathon, not a sprint. Working at a consistent pace is better than burning yourself out. The work is omnipresent. It will never stop growing. It will consume all if you let it.

Unless you're at an early-stage startup, let your manager deal with your giant and ever-growing todo list. Let someone more plugged-in to the business side deal with prioritizing, and focus on technical excellence. Unless you aspire to management yourself, that's already plenty to do.

Anyone who tells you every engineer needs to be in touch with every business concern either only works on early-stage projects or is part of a hustle culture that I don't ascribe to. I don't have the energy for technical excellence and knowing everything about the business.

It's not just Amazon. If we wanted to avoid this antitrust hellhole we are in now, we should have broken up Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, Sears, basically everyone that crushed the small businesses at the beginning. Now they complain because Amazon is the latest thing crushing them. And soon, Alibaba and AliExpress might be the latest thing to crush Amazon at this rate.

I think the biggest mistake was framing antitrust law as being whether a company harmed consumers. Amazon, well, its reduced prices like crazy and brought lots of competitive products out, so how does it harm consumers by that definition? It's hard to prove. If antitrust law was instead framed as preventing companies from making it inordinately difficult to compete with them, as well as companies with dominance expanding outside of a core market (like Amazon expanding from bookselling to Amazon Basics), then we'd have a stronger definition.
Yes, for crypto in DRM and locked OSs.

> This is why "democracy all the things" is kind of a shitty system. Primaries push the adults out of the room and give extremists too much say, which then requires toxic behavior to salvage an overall victory.

I'd say this has a deeper root cause - first past the post voting. Since merging your votes is a winning strategy, it just naturally tends towards a two party system. And once you have only two serious contenders on the ballot, you have to choose them somehow... And having that decided by a central committee, of which you have two, sounds like an even more slippery slope than primaries.

The most annoying bit is the two parties. You either religiously belong to a blue tribe or a red tribe, or you're resigned to picking which of your values to sacrifice to have representation aligned with the others.

STV seems to make things much better. Look at the current composition of Dáil Éireann - three large parties capturing a bit above 20% seats each, then almost as many independents, then a bunch of smaller parties. And every voter can truthfully say that their vote contributed to the elected candidate they liked most, not against a candidate they hated.
also there was no programmable shaders back then and the fixed pipeline was a very reasonable abstraction for the hardware at the time.

Why should anyone bail out BP Nord Stream 2 investment?
I do not understand why the mods flagged the sibling comment. It was on topic, directly related, and is a central issue for the given discussion.

Ah, yes, it’s because I tangentially pointed out exactly how much power YC has, and that’s bad for business. Got it. I’ll keep my head down before one of the powerful people reading this decides I need to get my account permanently penalized again until I learn my lesson and stop ever mentioning it.

You know what? I take it back. Please succeed without applying to YC. I wish there was a way to help you directly. And if you win, please try to help others win via the same route, or at least let people know that it’s possible. Best of luck.

I’m pretty bitter today for personal reasons, but not a single word of that comment was off topic, or dare I say mistaken. HN is inexorably linked to YC’s stranglehold on Silicon Valley, and moderation policy is not an off topic point. I don’t give a damn if you drag every one of my comments down to the very bottom for all eternity for saying this must because it’s true, because that’s just some small evil person exercising their power when someone else says a thing that worried them.

I’m logging out for a week while I figure out my life. Whoever is the person behind that flag button that you pretend the community controls when in fact it’s you personally, please, stop and consider for one moment that you’ve already won, and there’s no reason to cull voices just because you want to. It’s scary, and smart people do exist who see what’s happening. It might take 20 years for your power to finally crumble, but stuff like this is exactly how it’ll slip away.

Forget it. I put so much of my heart and soul into every one of my comments, and all of my effort into actually writing substantive, interesting, on-topic, entertaining commments, and the one time I say something laced with a little bit of (directly on-topic) truth, one specific person clicks a button to disable it ostensibly for the community’s benefit. The whole thing is just creepy, especially since the goal is to hypnotize as many programmers as possible without directly saying so.

Am I wrong? If I’m mistaken, I am 100% okay with being mistaken. I’m fine with downvotes, I’m fine with seeming a little strange. My goal here is to speak to the community. I even tried to figure out these questions privately via email with you, and then one day you publicly accused me of abusing hn@ycombinator.com when I was literally just trying to figure out what you want me to say vs not say.

You got the power man, you’ve won. Congratulations. I hope startups like Parsnip show that the world can do it without you.
You're being intentionally rude. You know I don't have that. You know I was not implying that I had that.

I really recommend using something similar to firefox' containerized sessions. I like to have a few I rotate around and try and engage in different content each time. I have discovered a lot more new content this way. I also only login on one of them where I keep
my subscribed channels that I rarely add to.

As it is right now, the recommendation engine is just not optimised for people like us here. I think most people engage with extremely similar or constantly nostalgic content, or current pop culture
Just a thought, but why not connect with a few folks on the monthly HN Seeking Work thread? Look for someone close to your area of interest then get their feedback. Also, I suggest looking at folks outside your area of expertise as many tech areas tend to bleed together. Be up front about the request and make sure to get an NDA signed. You'd be suprised at how many people will happily spend 30mins-1hr with you just to chat and give advice (probably for free!).

A second thought, maybe HN can have a monthly "Let me help you with..." thread where people just post their core skill set for others to leverage. As for me, I am not a programmer but am very fluent in infrastructure architecture. I can speak days/weeks on servers, networking, storage, virtualization, operating systems, etc. Always happy to chat with people, understand their problems, and answer questions relative to my area of expertise.

Nit: TFA refers to "Matriarch Judy Jetson" — Judy was the teenaged daughter; Jane was the wife/mom. (I'm old enough to have watched religiously during the original run ....)
Haha, you got me :) . DNS records is actually a valid case. I have no idea if it is also a "better" case, but lets assume so for the sake of argument.

I will clarify my question better now, hopefully. How EXACTLY does NFT "hold custody" of anything not living fully on on the blockchain already? So any physical object, or any digital object outside of cryptotokens and DNS records on the blockchain.
Wait, I'm confused. What's the defense of this? Why is there a presumption that this is okay to do? This person is trying to do more jobs than they have time for and failing. The people on this subreddit are clearly on the "it's bad cause you got caught" side of things.

I don't care how many jobs you work if you get the work done. Likewise, if you find a job that requires less of you than you have time in the day, that's great!

But if your goal is to do two jobs badly instead of one job well, I do judge you, because you're crossing the line to harming others with your negligence. That's not something to be celebrated.

Edited to add, on a related note: What company cares if your system is active or not? Nobody is checking my laptop to see how many hours I'm working or what hours they are. My performance at my job is the proof.

The most common chemical is ethanol. What you're describing is an azeotrope [1].

Aside from the ones that will boil together with water are those that will boil off before the water (methanol is the other common example that comes in practice). If you have any that boil off before water you have to know at what point it's safe to start condensing the vapour and storing it.

It's much harder to work with the data if you don't have the code. SO is not open source.
Haha that's a great analogy. I'm going to use that when someone gives me that BS line that code is documentation.
Harvest the salt too, bonus!
I've been on both sides. A lot of people say people who want to be swamped is a control problem but I've found its more delicate than that. My circumstances require me to have decent insurance so my life will forever be tied to an employer. I don't really get an "escape" at least until obamacare becomes cheaper than $2800/mo. for what I need in order to try out the entrepreneur life.

As a result I work very hard. I end up getting a lot of work done, and thus more work on my plate. This is often manageable and I use this as a gauge of my probability of being fired for any given reason. Someone knocking on the door of a PIP likely won't be getting as much work especially if it's reasonably complicated. It's been my experience as work starts to die down to a less-than-consistent level I'm usually out the door (never fired, but often laid off in this industry).

However, this burned me when I became staff-level because I'd get so much work that despite trying to reduce the bus factor back to "manageable chaos" I was unable to and ended up leaving the job for another one because I became the smart guy in the room.

But overall I aim to walk the razors edge between swamped and normal at all times because it's the only form of security I have. When I am in this condition I am now useful enough I have plenty of power over my employer and my position and for an employee this is an ideal situation to have. Especially when the alternative is extremely expensive "between jobs" insurance, or a less than ideal insurance package from another company.
