The market is really hot right now, and yes, a lot of people may be quitting. There are also a lot of hiring freezes and layoffs happening at the same time.

If a lot of people continue to quit while available jobs continue to decline, the result is fewer people feeling comfortable quitting.
That's a non-standard use of the term "food store." Kroger is a food store, Qdoba is a restaurant. And it's a bit misleading to show a photo of some other restaurant's food. I would expect the photo to show food from that restaurant, not from a different restaurant. It's pretty annoying that there are only nine listings on each page. And no way to sort. Or skip to a particular page.
My razor for filtering out any UFO/UAP photo is simply: unless I have physically seen the UFO in question, any attempt by others to persuade me they're real or operated by intelligences orders of magnitude higher than ours, is invalid. You can't audit these people's claims short of being physically with them when the photo was taken. For all I know, someone put a piece of cheese on the lens and then passed it off as a UFO.

That said, I did witness something strange about a year ago when I looked up at the sky randomly. This object was darting really fast at quite a height. I dismissed it as a drone, but I didn't know drones could operate at such a height, and it done acute turns without slowing down, something drones can't do, no matter how many videos of drones turning acutely at speed you show me, because an object has to slow down before it does that. It's basic physics.

Anyway, it was good to see, since I was physically present, so at least I can say these things could possibly fit the narrative of 'aliens' or 'watchers' who are doing recon on our planet.
Escaping government encroachment is literally the purpose of the technology. It needs no other purpose.

The thing is, most people here don’t think that escaping government encroachment is a worthwhile endeavor. Which is pretty much the antithesis of the word “hacker”

> In general, I would say that academics all too commonly forget the need to engage with people outside of their narrow disciplines, and in doing so, you can cede the field to engaging writers who are way out of their depths and horribly wrong about what they are writing (e.g., Jared Diamond).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the Diamond example here, but I think of him as precisely a cautionary tale for academics, of what can go wrong when they try to go too far in the pop-science, big-picture, broad-audience direction. Diamond is solidly an academic, not some kind of outsider... he's held a professorship at UCLA for 50+ years. But later in his career decided he wanted to write "big history" interdisciplinary synthesis for a popular audience.

I suppose one could try to write for a popular audience without going that far outside your own discipline/expertise though.

The problem with .ONESHELL is, that it is for the whole file. I so wish it was per target. That would be really useful. But for the whole file? Maybe I need each line to be a separate shell anywhere in the file and that will make it impossible to use .ONESHELL for the entire file.

That's not actually true.

Say I sell software, or SaaS. Then I may need military-grade encryption because I need to sell, a few potential customers (may) need that, and I need to keep my costs down so supplying the latest and greatest cipher to everyone is the right default. It may waste a bit of CPU but it saves the time of the sales and support people, and human time is expensive.

Say I'm going to buy something tomorrow, and I don't like SPoFs. There's a card in my wallet, or maybe two, but if the card reader in the shop is down, that's a SPoF unless I also carry some cash.

It's not rediculous to add invisible matter. This is how we discovered Neptune, and Uranus. But it didn't work for Vulcan and Pluto was super sketchy. But to scientist's credit they gave up on dark matter Vulcan when nothing was found, over and over again, and GR explained mercury's orbit.

The analogy would be if we didn't figure out GR, used dark matter to explain mercury's precession, then used dark matter to explain aberrant voyager probe kinetics, then rejected GR because "it failed to explain the weird motion of voyager"

Adding invisible matter is not crazy, but over time you make your model increasingly unfalsifiable as the observations fail to meet the expectations. Ideally that would decrease confidence in the model, but for dark matter it seems to have entrenched the conviction of mainstream astro.

To tell the truth, make sucks incredibly for building modern C programs. There are just too many targets. It's why all of them generate their makefile with some abomination.

It's never been very clear to me that these kind of studies where you measure response time differences (usually measured in tens or hundreds of milliseconds) are really all that insightful, or say all that much about anything meaningful.

In this case, the English speakers were actually faster than Russian speakers, and the accuracy was identical, only when "two colours if they fell into different linguistic categories in Russian" were the Russian speakers faster. Plus "English speakers as a group drew nearly the same boundary as did the Russian speakers".

In this case it seems like a categorizing problem: it's not that English speakers can't distinguish the colours, it's just that the boundaries of your categories are less clearly defined than in Russian, so it takes a few more brain cycles to select the right category. I think everyone already agrees that some concepts can be easier or harder to express in certain languages (as a simple example, in Dutch there is no word for sibling).

I don't really read any support for a "mild colour blindness" in that study.

First they removed a lot of useful features from Firefox.

Then tell us we should implement them as an addon.

Then handicap addons. <- now

Then remove addons. <- future

Sounds a bit like "embrace, extend and extinguish"...

Note: I switched to Firefox when it came out because of addons...
Where it would be problematic is if it's trivial to do this to someone else's terminal.
That's some seriously circular reasoning: It only exposes you as an accessory to criminal activity because they've labeled it a criminal activity despite legitimate uses...
I use water and soap every day cleaning mine. If you get something really stuck you can heat the pan up, then add hot water to it. It basically boils the stuck stuff off. You just need to be careful not to crack the pan.
I don't think so, since it's found everywhere like in your water and meat. In fact, focusing on cookware seems to understate the issue and leads people to just argue about which pan is the best while missing the point.

I'm sure it was editorialized by TFA because cookware is more concrete for readers to latch onto than "PFAS", an initialism people are only learning about this week.
Young professionals, find yourself an employer where your colleagues are willing to communicate with you, mentor you, cowork with you - and this can all be remote.

You don't lose the output of the coasting team member (even if you get rid of the right person); that workload just gets transferred to the other 4 people. So let's say you have 5 people, 4 of which each are doing 22% of the work, leaving the one "coaster" to be doing only 12%. You fire the coaster, and now you've got 4 people doing 25% of the work each. An already burned-out team is now filled with people who have a larger workload.

And this of course is a simplification that assumes workload is a continuous rather than discrete measure. If the fired guy had two or three Jira tickets he wasn't making progress on, now you've got two or three of the remaining workers getting another entire feature dumped on their pile of work. The burn-out is higher than 3%. Until they quit, of course, transferring their workload to the remaining 3 people, increasing their burn-out, etc... it's a dangerous chain reaction.

They aren’t. Just pay the $200 tax and wait for the ATF to process your transfer form. (3 months to a year, generally)

Ugh, you just reminded me of a random concert in a park I went to a few weeks ago. Everyone was just chilling on their blankets watching the show. As more and more people showed up, they just started standing around all the people with kids on the blankets, blocking our view.

Ask HN: Best way to learn React for someone who's used to Rails?
Hi,

I want to learn React, however Googling 'learn react' gives me a billion results and I don't want to start on a subscribe to a tutorial site or buy a book if there's a better one out there.

I'm great with javascript, so do not need to pick that up, and have hacked around and forked a few React projects but never really known quite what's going on or where to start with them.

I was wondering what is the best way to learn it. I am best I think learning from videos, however books are also great too. I'm not so good with scrolling through tutorial websites.

Thanks very much!
I agree that the lower-level details of Rust and the original vision for it was not super close to Haskell, but having said that, I think it often attracts a lot of the same people. Rust traits are very similar to Haskell's typeclasses, and stuff like the Iterator API and the fact that mutability is a first-class concept in the language (and therefore easy to keep track of if you want to avoid it) make it pretty well-suited to functional programming. Add that to the fact that developer productivity is valued pretty highly, which is why there's such a focus on good tooling e.g. cargo, compiler errors, and you end up with a language that does a surprisingly good impression of "Haskell but more user friendly". There's a bunch of other stuff too, like the ability to "drop down" into imperative programming, and the fact that you can use references and stuff to avoid allocations, but if you want to just take everything by value and clone everything without using `Arc` or `Rc` and go pure functional, Rust isn't going to get much in your way.

Because the politics of the rich don't make good infrastructure for common use?

So, BART was originally constructed for the purposes of suburban commuters heading into San Francisco for white-collar work with generous no-travel times baked in for maintenance. It's why there's no track duplication: if you're shutting down fully for hours you have plenty of time to work on maintenance. Almost immediately this assumption proved false, the hours got extended but the basic design is still in place. And, if you're really, really rich here you'd pay someone to drive you. Why futz with the BART? All you, the rarefied wealthy, need to do is keep BART limping along just enough that the service workers and middle class white-collar people and what not you rely on can get to work.

It's how we get BART, it's how we get a serious housing shortage.
I guess in CPU land, "deprecated" and "removed" are synonymous.

Possibly they hope to bring it in as a secondary dependency for other libraries, so that it implicitly gets injected into other systems.
My "old man rant" is that I sometimes see photos from 10, 20 years ago that bring back memories that otherwise I hadn't thought of in years.

Obviously the end result of years of being evil - not answering the phone, lousy customer service, ruining people’s lives with no explanation or recourse, damaging privacy, disobeying world governments. Payment due.

Maybe they should go back to not being evil, it seemed to work better for them.

It’s very interesting that Google, Facebook (refuse to use the other name), and Twitter are all notorious for this and all being hit at the same time. I suspect Apple is under stress also but they won’t feel it for a while due to their massive cash hoard. Which unfortunately means Britain will have a king before I can buy another iPhone with Touch ID.
Fair enough, I would not know as I ended up in ML research instead haha.
It's funny how BART (and most California agencies) put very quantifiable costs on people who obey the rules in a way that you've foreseen, but in the meantime completely ignore farehoppers, freeriders, etc. who simply hop over turnstiles or otherwise don't follow the law.

I guess it's too expensive (or "not equitable") to take the time to enforce rules that you've created. And we are too nice to create firm but unpopular rules for things that do come up.

It's not true, butit was happening far before role queue. Even before OWL became a thing, people from all the way down in low silver were trying to emulate the top streamers and piggy back on thier methods. GOATS and pro league is when this really took off though. I remember ever other lobby in ranked was people trying to pull off GOATS, but no one had near the skill to coordinate properly, or even the game sense to understand what role they were supposed to fill.
Ok so let’s just say that the author is correct, and this thing, among other sightings, are actually US secret projects. I can believe that, but I would be much angrier if the government has been covering up some sort of wild capabilities for at least the past 30 years than if they have been covering up aliens for the past 80 years. If we have the ability to fly silently at high speeds, we have the ability to generate much more power at much lower cost than we do currently…which means the technology is a secret because releasing that tech into the world liberates the peasants from their rulers.

Quite apt for some of the techniques, like:

“BD+ mainly works by adding errors to the video stream, not enough to make it unwatchable but enough to make it unpleasant to watch due to near constant artifacting. These are fixed in official players by using "fixup tables", which are downloaded from the internet and provide a mapping to convert the broken video stream into the correct video stream.
Yes, this happened in Excel 5/95. The first version with VBA in addition to Excel 4.0-Macros. By the way, Excel 4.0-Macros were also localized. The backlash was nearly immediate because localized xls-files were not always interchangeable. Support for localized VBA was removed in Excel 97.
What do you think is the proportion of legal and illegal Latinos?

What you say implies something close to 99% of Latinos are undocumented, and that's not even remotely true.

If there are 60 million Latinos in the US, and 11 undocumented immigrants of all national origins, that means your statement is false as well as intellectually dishonest.

And some of those might as well be descendants of US citizens removed via ethnic cleansing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_Repatriation
DRM only punishes paying customers.
Privacy is about much more than whether your transactions can be trade back to you - it's about who can trace them back to you. There's a huge difference between "VPN who already has all my IP addresses knows that I did business with it" and "Everybody on the Internet knows that I did business with this VPN provider". If you disagree, let's see you post your credit card history and tax returns on Hacker News - after all, your bank and the IRS respectively already have this information, so you're not gaining any OpSec by keeping it private.

For a lot of mixer transactions, your adversary is probably not the government - it's any hacker that you may want to prevent from knowing your Ethereum balance and the services you transact with.

> When saying "I saw a bird" compared to "I will see a bird", a Kusunda speaker might indicate the past action not by tense, but by describing it as an experience directly related to the speaker. Meanwhile, the future action would remain general and not associated to any subject.

Nothing strange about this. I think Chinese is similar too. The intention of the speaker is more important than the words he/she says.
