May be because flooding market with free money called quantitative easing isn’t anymore putting selective pressure on efficiency of company. Since 2008, thousand of billion of $ where distributed to market, reaching the point that there is too much money available inducing negative loan interest and. Even more surprising negative oil barrel price in 2019. Can you imagine negative interest is literally like getting paid to subscribe to a loan. You borrow 1 000 000 , you reimburse 900 000 and keep the difference.

So thousands and thousands of companies are keeping alive with zero or negative profit. Those company are totally inefficient or sustainable in a normal world where you have to fight to be profitable.

So the main responsible aren’t the worker, but all the top managers who instead going bankrupt and face realistically that their companies are totally inadaptés and inefficient to generate profit, they just eat the free cake of quantitative easing that central banks are cooking every day. In this scenario, the standard worker of those company is just an incounscious partner in this con scheme and nobody ask him to be in any way profitable or efficient.
No, it didn't. TMI came rather late in the game compared to what I was talking about above there.

If your college education was memorizing problem sets, of course you didn't learn any engineering.

Caltech's engineering program had tests that were open book open note. Memorization would not work. You had to actually understand it.

Posts like yours make me appreciate Caltech.

P.S. My first job was designing the 757 stabilizer jackscrew assembly. I was flying on a 757 just the other day, 40 years later. How marvelous! It's a great airplane.

P.P.S. We had a few "formula memorizers" and "formula pluggers" at Boeing. I was often assigned to go over their work and fix it. Nobody trusted them.

I don't really understand your comment. Figured base and and common harmonic sequences are well covered in most standard theory texts (as is melodic/harmonic reduction).

I'm also amused by your remark that counterpoint is not taught in "the way it would've been understood by successful 18th-c. musicians." Most contemporary counterpoint instruction still follows the method of Fux's 1725 textbook (species counterpoint). Indeed, the fact that the pedagogy hasn't really changed for hundreds of years is often advanced as a criticism of current-day instructional practice!

I love Nix, I use NixOS and associated tools in many projects and I maintain several packages on NixPkgs.

IMHO Nix is relatively easy if your usecase doesn't involve unpackaged artifacts that require heavy patching to fit them into Nix.

For example, I think it's one of the best distros to run a common Linux desktop setup because you can upgrade without fear and you can test new things without adding clutter.

The biggest hurdle is documentation. Writing documentation is not as sexy as implementing new features, but that's the biggest area to improve. https://nixos.wiki has recently documented many areas that lacked sufficient coverage, but there's a ton more needed.
Just because you aren't required to doesn't change anything.

You might be surprised how much people appreciate others doing more for them than is required.
>But by 1750, the Quakers were kind of on their way out; by 1750, they were a demographic minority in Pennsylvania, and by 1773 they were a minority in its legislature as well. [...] What happened? The Quakers basically tolerated themselves out of existence. They were so welcoming to religious minorities and immigrants that all these groups took up shop in Pennsylvania and ended its status as a uniquely Quaker society.

Ask HN: Word for Jack of All Trades
Some time ago I remember seeing here at HN an excellent word for a type of (startup) employee that:

- likes to solve - and is good at solving - all kinds of problems.

- once the problem is solved, is not jealous about it, but is happy pass the solution for someone else to polish and maintain

- dislikes routine work

And so forth. Unfortunately I can't recall it anymore. There was even a career site mentioned that was dedicated for/named after these kind of folks. Closest my research brings up is CWTFO ( https://klinger.io/posts/joining-hypergrowth-startups-%F0%9F%98%AC ) But it is not the word I am looking for - and neither is jack of all trades.

Anyone happen to remember what I am looking for?

I don't see how that's logical in any way.
If I may, I feel like this is sort of orthogonal to the point of GP’s comment, which I read as being concerned with rejection for the essence of who you are, rather than rejection for a technical role because you don’t have the right background.

> That’s kind of true (too some degree at least) if you’re talking about Western Europe.

Why do you think it was unique for Western Europe?

The East was slightly behind in the feudal disunity phase but it had the same kind of picture: numerous duchies changing sides, one form of serfdom or another and no state representation on the ground. Local population did care about religion and language to a certain extent but didn't care about whatever problems aristocracy had.

Dukes jumped sides at will, e.g. between Lithuania, Poland and other power centers in what was left of Kievan Rus. Even more so in pre-Mongol period.

> That just a misconception. Their understanding of what a nation was might have been quite a bit different but it did definitely exist.

It was fundamentally different. For a commoner the state was not represented locally in any way. They could say something like "in the land of Rus" or even a smaller Zemaitija (aka Samogitia), which was more of a region than a political structure. What mattered was your local priest as well your local duke (or a lesser nobleman).

The region of modern Lithuania had a similar disunited structure in late 14th century, maybe a bit more on the archaic pagan kind of phase.

I am pretty sure the situation was similar in what became Poland, with szlachta and priests being more important than the state.

> That just a misconception. Their understanding of what a nation was might have been quite a bit different but it did definitely exist.

What I was pointing out in that comment about Jogaila is exactly that nation-states were basically not known in Europe back then. There were regions, where people understood each other, practised a similar religion and probably had a similar way of life but this was not reflected in power structures the same way modern nation-states represent these things.

In fact, the state was not represented in people's daily life until much later. Even more so in Eastern Europe where population density and general economical ties were always much lower.

So for Jogaila and his colleagues it was meaningless to think in terms of modern nationalism and patriotism.
On the contrary, in my experience, unlike with Windows, migrating Linux to a new machine is trivial.

You can just move the SSD or HDD to another computer and there will be no problems because the OS has identified some change in hardware incompatible with your license and refuses to work.

Otherwise, you can just copy the old SSD/HDD to a new SSD/HDD, to clone the Linux installation, and all will work without problems (when copying, there are a few directories that must not be copied, e.g. /dev, /mnt, /proc, /sys, /tmp, but they must be created on the destination SSD/HDD; also the copy must be done with something like "/bin/cp --no-dereference --recursive --one-file-system --preserve=all", as the default cp loses data; I never use the default cp, but only an alias including the options mentioned above, to be sure that the copies are identical to the original).

The copying can also be done through the network, e.g. with rsync, while booting temporarily the destination computer from an USB stick or from a server via Ethernet.

With Windows, you cannot be sure that copying a SSD/HDD actually copies everything, and even if it would copy everything, the copy is unlikely to boot if the hardware is too different.

I have migrated or cloned Linux countless times, in a half of hour or whatever it takes to copy 1 or 2 terabytes of SSD, while with Windows I was forced to always do fresh installations and lose a lot of time to duplicate the old configurations. It is true however that I have not tried any commercial migration tool, as I would not pay for something that I only need infrequently.
That's assuming it was possible to connect the digital brain, neuron by neuron, to the organic brain and exactly replicate the chemistry at the interface. Far beyond present technology.

But supposing that's solved, consider building the same digital system without destroying any part of the human brain.

Whether you digitize the whole brain in an instant or 3000 neurons/second, the digital copy is obviously a copy if the original still exists.

So how does destroying the original turn a copy into not a copy?

This is a lie I've heard for decades.

the main one is that having giant above ground parking lots is awful in the first place. they dramatically reduce walkability and efficiency of other transit forms (by pointlessly lowering density), are ugly, and are (other than cost) way worse than underground parking or multi-story parking garages. putting solar panels on the parking lots makes them incredibly expensive to remove.
I have the exact same issue with my current laptop (2014 ASUS ZenBook) and I blame it on ASUS' poor design of the laptop-end plug. I have replaced the charger multiple times so far, about once a year I think.

I've run a mirror with non-identical disks on ZFS, worked just like any other mirror. I bought two pairs of disks from different vendors and ran them as mixed pairs in case the disks from one vendor would fail simultaneously.

Disk space is, as expected, limited to the smaller disk in each pair. However, if you replace the smaller disk with a larger one, ZFS will automatically grow to the new minimum. You fault one disk in a pair, swap it with a larger and bring it online, ZFS will repair (fill the new disk) and once finished the pool will be larger just like that.

I've used this approach to increase the size of my pool, which again meant having a pair of different disks in the mirror as I did the the swap process.
I'm thinking mainly harmony and the much more liberal use of chromaticism, unusual chord progressions, and so on.
I would go one step further than ratings but add mandatory lifetime ratings from the date of purchase with manufacturer guarantee attached. This should cover at least battery/charger, software updates (in particular security updates) and operation of necessary could infrastructure.

I have burned too many times by manufacturers not taking security updates seriously (Motorola phones for instance). If a manufacturer wants not to fix an issue it should be an automatic reason to get a full refund.

In fact, Fux was basically a reference text on 16th-c. counterpoint in its most complex and developed form, as it was understood after-the-fact in a 18th-c. context. It doesn't do much to pedagogically explain even the simpler foundations of 16th-c. style (as they show up in earlier texts), let alone tonal counterpoint in the common practice period.

> common harmonic sequences

Common harmonic sequences are not voice-leading schemata. If anything, the former are a side-effect of the latter. Even teaching cadences as a "harmonic" motion rather than a pattern involving the melodic motions of tenorizans (2^--1^) cantizans (8^--7^--8^) and bassizans (5^--1^) is a very flawed understanding that would've been quite foreign to 18th-c. musicians.

As for the thoroughbass, the older textbooks may give a cursory explanation of the notation involved, but what about the practice of it? Where is the règle de l'octave - the "harmonic" bread-and-butter of so much music of the common practice, known even to amateur accompanists back in the 18th c.? A lot of the time, it isn't there. And that's literally the simplest and most basic part, there's plenty of more involved patterns that musicians back then would've known in some way.

I've heard a professor lament a student stating that all CAD applications should work on phones.

And why is that such a lamentable idea? Modern phones have the processing power these days. Walking around a factory, building sites or a muddy field with a phone in your hand is a lot easier than walking around with a laptop. Plus modern phones have LiDAR and multiple cameras opening up for all kinds of interesting options. Frankly any CAD platform which doesn’t embrace mobile will probably fall out of favour over the next few years.

Having a complete mental map of your work environment is the key. Nothing changes without your approval and you have some idea of when and where every change was made along with what it does.

Most of dev work is making sure other people can make sense of your work. With solo dev, that step is basically unnecessary.

I think it’s also why some indie games (eg binding of Isaac) get completely remade instead of making updates a year later. Walk away from the project for a couple months and it’s an untamable beast.

One thorny issue that everyone using Nix on non-NixOS eventually runs into, is the need to set LOCALE_ARCHIVE. Getting rid of that impurity would be a big step towards "works reliably, everywhere", especially for development environments.
Home computers (and, later, certain environments for DOS) used to have you enter programs line by line in this fashion:

10 PRINT "HELLO, WORLD"
20 GOTO 10

You would add or edit a line by using appropriate numbering:

15 PRINT "HELLO EDIT"

And you could get the full program with:

LIST

Does this count as line editing?

Nowadays, every one of my projects starts with a flake.nix file. I even have templates (https://peppe.rs/posts/novice_nix:_flake_templates/) fo archetypes of projects, like a Go, Rust, GTK project, etc...

I love that flakes allow you to decouple a package from nixpkgs and place it in your repo, but in order to fully realize this dream, there needs to be a proper index of these packages, as well as non-experimental support for flakes.

Another (pipe) dream of mine is that Nix gets true cross-platform support, including non-WSL windows. This would allow it to fulfill a role that doesn't currently exist, which is a cross-platform package manager and build system that works across language ecosystems.

Your point about Jails vs Containers (popularized by Docker) is a naive rose-tinted glasses view. Jails is aimed at security and stops at that. To create something like docker-compose or Kubernetes with Jails is nigh impossible.

This "complete software stack" deliverables is what makes the difference today. You deliver software with greater ease.
Jails isn't meant for that. Ignoring this point and claiming the same existed for 15 years is wrong.

Genuinely curious if this is a thing.

Between the 4 cameras in my phone and the CCTV everywhere, seems a bit of a little odd for the computer camera point directly at the operator to be the greatest concern and mandated to be covered.

Of course people arent just covering their camera, they are doing something to disable the audio capture as well right?

They had to mostly halt Bolt production and for the last 6 month have produce very few EVs. I didn't say GM has never ever made an EV before.

But just go threw why saying 4th EV platform makes no sense.

EV1 wasn't a platform, and it wasn't even Li-Ion. It was just a low volume compliance car. It really wasn't a prototype except looking at it in retrospect.

The Volt is PHEV and can hardly be-considered an iteration of a BEV platform. Sure it gave them some experience with electrics but that is very different from a platform.

The Bolt was essentially LG conversion. LG did everything from cells, batteries, electronics including the 'infotainment' system. It really wasn't an EV platform as traditionally understood.

The Ultium is the first of what we might consider an actual BEV platform for GM.

And again non of that touches my central argument, they are miles behind Tesla. I don't think that is a remotely controversial thing to say to anybody interest in BEV.

Well, I suppose because indexes can slow some things down (e.g. writes), and can also fail to speed other things up. They're not a magical answer to everything, or they'd be on by default on everything!

But let's take your example of using an index to get all prices. How would that work?
