Let's be serious for a second. If the manager has those questions why did he ask about an unrelated rewrite of existing software into react?

The second question is quite literally just a "Have you experience with React?" which doesn't require additional questions for clarification. The manager would be expecting a "yes/no, but ..." type of answer. Honestly your questions would be asked in a meeting with as many developers and even non developers as possible to save time, not in a one to one conversation.

Honestly this whole topic is way too similar to the Dilbert comic where Dilber asks his boss what colour he wants his database in, to test whether he understands what a database is.

Destiny is the metaphysical expression of narcissism, the cosmic projection of the navel.
Yes, nip2 workspaces are DAGs, like node graph interfaces. The spreadsheet comparison was originally there to help introduce the interface to a less technical audience. nip2 was written in the 1990s when this stuff was less widespread.

I don't like plug-and-socket style graphical node graph interfaces personally -- I think they are hard to reason about, and things like composition and rewriting feel unnatural (to me). I came out of the functional programming community and I wanted things like referential transparency.

nip2 is supposed to be a graphical interface that's an expression of a set of relations. It has a three part model:

1. You enter scraps of code (or pick menu items) to build an object in nip2's programming language.

2. nip2 looks at the constructed object and draws the GUI.

3. Changes to the GUI trigger "edit" functions on the constructed object to update it.

4. ... if you go back and edit the code that originally constructed the object, the GUI resets.

So your code and the GUI independently update the constructed object, with code taking priority. You get a stateful GUI with a purely functional programming language and you get to keep equational reasoning.
To me as a lay-man, it is unclear what you expect them to do instead. Which part of "nobody has come up with a theory that explains nearly as much as DM can explain" constitutes "ignoring"?
I've visited Nagasaki - it does seem like a poor choice - the city is a series of valleys - they shielded much of the city from the bomb. Ground zero was the largest Christian cathedral in the Far East, closest war related govt facility housed PoWs. Hiroshima in comparison is on a flat plain.

No, it's not kernel related.

It's because Fedora strives to be open-source and free software only. WSL isn't completely libre so they can't support it officially and neither is the Windows Store. There's third party Fedora images for WSL you can install.

Perhaps unprofessional advice but having dealt with my fair share of perfectionist CTO's/VPs, when dealing with hypercritical types, if I have to deliver any creative output for review then my strategy is to add "low-hanging fruit" that I know will no be aligned with what they want or even small typos.

That usually gives them something to focus on and then only what really needs to change will bubble up from their feedback.
> They have launched exactly zero of those "more powerful" satellites. And they are not launching at near the replacement rate for the final constellation.

You can't deny that they're going to launch the more powerful satellites while simultaneously relying on those more powerful satellites for your calculations of the size of the final constellation...

They're launching at much faster than the rate needed for replacement for the existing planned constellation for the version 1/1.5 satellites.
Definitely not degrowth, maybe low growth if high energy stuff cannot be moved off planet and results transported back with low heat impact. (Or no other ways of cooling are found).

Also, for example, innovation from growing economies elsewhere can reach back to earth. Expensive stuff that relies on growth can continue to happen and the results shared.

Carrying capacity of the solar system is huge, so quite some growth to be captured there. Once it is exhausted, growth for earth and the solar system might slow down because information will have significant travel time. And we haven't even exhausted earth and earth will become uninhabitable ultimately anyway so terminal sustainability is not truly needed.

Here's the list of why, but I doubt it'll make you any happier:

(1) they be important targets in a large urban area of more than three miles in diameter,
(2) they be capable of being damaged effectively by a blast, and
(3) they are unlikely to be attacked by next August.

Dr. Stearns had a list of five targets which the Air Force would be willing to reserve for our use unless unforeseen circumstances arise.

The answer really does boil down to the USAF hadn't bombed it by the 10th of August and the more preferred target had bad weather.
I fail to see how psychology studies are at all useful. Like what do they teach us? The setups are always frail and the studied population is always Mechanical Turk workers or college students. The conclusions are always beyond far reaching.

I did a couple of years in agtech and must say I was impressed on the readiness of technology (adoption was a different story).
So to me think of crop planning, soil health monitoring, genetically modified crops for specific regions/dryer climates as well as logistics (even water logistics) is something I see getting more important.
The revolution we say in two ways:
A) customers can track strawberry production from the planting date all the way to the store(check some youtube from china). So your journey and interest in the food will not only start at the stoee but much earlier evtl also creating direction connections and contracts with farms - also resulting in willingness to pay more.
B) I can imagine food prices to explode - I mean who can prevent it from happening? If borders close and climate is not your friend anymore: Vertical farms, GMO crops and robotics will become a reality - because the pressure to innovate/ change will be there.

Thats just my assumption after working in agtech for 2 years and living through pandemic and some political instability suddenly impacting critical supply while having a mature technology just needing to be adopted in a underserved area…

For larger projects I have completed in the past, I started by outlining my plan breaking things down into smaller steps. This gave me a marching plan. I would work out the night before what I would do the next morning. This helps me to hit the ground running each day.
>In contrast, it would be a terrible thing to forcibly lock people into their birth countries to stop brain drain.

This isn't hypothetical, of course. This is how places like the Soviet Union and East Germany worked. It was policy to literally shoot people trying to leave the country without permission. On the other hand, while certainly not justifying this atrocity, there certainly has been a "brain drain" as engineers, physicians, and scientists from the former Eastern Bloc have moved West for better employment opportunities.
This has nothing to do with utopia.

It is about believing that people deserve their fate, however hard life has been to them.

Ask HN: How did you grow your newsletter?
I'm currently looking for some fresh inspiration for how to grow my newsletter.

Super curious to hear what tactics worked for you at which stage.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

I currently own 3 merino T-shirts, one merino hoodie, a few pairs of bamboo and merino underwear, two identical pairs of jeans and a bunch of identical socks.

The hoodie is a bit over 5 years old and still in daily use. The jeans are about the same age and I wear them on alternate weeks and don't wash them unless it's necessary.

The socks I throw away as soon as they wear through (just single socks, they're all the same). When I run out of socks for my regular wash cycle, I throw them all away and buy a 7-12 pack of new identical ones.
I want to hate this new classic lit reading app but I do not
To get just one single thing we need would be $100/month. It’s for some 100’ish people, so it’s $10k per month, and since they don’t do monthly, it’d be $120k in one go.

I just… I can’t present that to management as a good deal. There is no way whatsoever that that’s worth it. We can get all of the things Gitlab does separately, better and at a lower price…

Note this is just further, more detailed confirmation of stuff we already knew for a long time.

This is why landfill is, and always has been, near the bottom of the waste hierarchy, below even incineration with energy recovery.

People who sell fossil fuels have regularly argued that we should just bury trash and have lots of silly arguments as to why that is the case.

But the various recycling schemes used in EU, Singapore etc. are clearly better on basically every metric which isn't "sales of fossil fuels".

For the methane issue, seperate recycling of food, agricultural and other organic waste into biogas and fertilizer is the obvious solution. GHG negative methane!

Germany is a world leader in this, but even they can do more.

In other words, "might makes right".
I mean they didn't surrender for 6 days after Nagasaki. Clearly not in any rush and if you read about the details, there was quite an internal struggle within the Japanese government whether to accept surrender or fight on.

And even if we accept that "Japan was beaten". What the next move? A naval blockade? Starve Japan into submission?

How many tens of thousands of civilian deaths due to famine would make the leadership break? Would that have been better than tens of thousands of civilian deaths due to nuclear bombs?
No, that's why we have PoS and other solutions, no? That was my whole point.

Attacking crypto because of PoW is a bit silly when there are other solutions that are way more efficient.

That's like attacking electricity because there are coal generators. My initial point.
An even then you will probably get paid a stepping down fee.
The onus was on Japan to surrender immediately, not for the US to be patient. You don’t punch your aggressor once and wait to see what he’s going to do next. You beat him with overwhelming force until he’s incapacitated or he waves the white flag.
I'm not sure it's reasonable to separate the two.

I mean, someone who is fitting bathrooms or writing books or teaching piano will say "here are my wares, here are my prices" and the customers will pay.

But the major open source licenses all say "here are my wares, no charge, feel free to redistribute to all your friends too" - of course they're not paying, I just told them they don't have to pay.

If I'm hoping that Amazon and Oracle and Facebook and Wal-Mart are going to pay $$$$$$$ to me and hundreds of my peers out of a sense of charity and generosity - doesn't that seem rather naive?

> we recruited 501 American participants from Amazon Mechanical Turk

The Mechanical Turk folks are the new sociology students. This study has 100% chance of not being reproducible or statistically representative.

> 63.3% of the participants reported having flipped the winning outcome [...] in a previous study using a similar coin-toss game with an online (MTurk) sample (Schindler and Pfattheicher, 2017), 76.7% of the participants reported having flipped the winning coin-side

So, just world people are 13% more honest than the general population? How can you name the title then "General Belief in a Just World Is Positively Associated with Dishonest Behavior" when clearly, everybody is dishonest and these bunch were actually... less so?

> Given that general BJW was found to be linked to antisocial tendencies, we expected stronger general BJW to be linked to more dishonesty.

I postulate academia strongly correlates with dishonesty.
tl;dr author was rejected from a publisher for being a white male, then writes a book in which a character is also rejected for being a white male, and has a bunch of interactions with crazy woke people.

Therefore outrage? Why am I supposed to care about that?

Is it a true picture of the world? It very much is, according to this very article. So why are you complaining, Esquire?

Yeah, he might be acidic in his writing. That's what happens when you ruin a person's livelihood because of his race and gender.

>This is the bitter pill many white men find difficult to swallow. In order for space to be made for others, then space that before was given to them must be relinquished or shared. Moreover, equality isn’t just about replacing X amount of men with Y amount of women—or white people with POC, or cis people with trans people—but about deliberately carving out space that is entirely theirs.

This stuff is why Trump was elected.
No, they are distinct. It's about believing that the world that we do live in nos is just, not a world we could live in (i.e. a utopia).
Eh, he went viral.
It was already falsified by well established limits on self interaction of DM from galaxy collisions. And from the already mentioned temperature fluctuations in the CMB. Every now and then some MOND supporter comes out if they found a way to tune their model to one specific observation, but particle DM remains the only approach that can fit all these observations at the same time. Ofc that doesn't guarantee that particle DM is the only explanation. After all, it could be a combination of DM+MOND. But MOND alone is just not possible, whereas DM alone might be.

I agree with this analysis.

If they are being punished for money laundering committed in the past while money laundering was illegal, that’s good enforcement.

If they are being punished for previous lawful contribution to an entity that was in the future sanctioned, that’s bad enforcement.
I wouldn’t mind but diplomacy is broken still. Civs stay mad at you for invading a neighbouring civ for the entirety of the game. Things like denouncement and warmongering issues don’t fade away nearly as fast enough to allow varied gameplay.

Usually a civ will start expanding into your land, cause a war, then you take them out but of course everyone else is now mad at you and it stays like that for the rest of the game.
> You’re not missing any spectral efficiency trick. Starlink maxes out at one customer per square mile or about one million total customers. It’s for areas beyond cellular coverage.

You're entirely wrong here. Their customer density is way higher than 1 per square mile... I'm not even sure where you get these ideas.
Are you certain of that? Your notion seems counterintuitive to me.
> Cloudflare just happened to be slightly different enough that it broke their automation.

This type of attack just can't work on targets which are properly secured with FIDO authenticators. So it's not really "slightly different". The minimum adjustment the attackers can make is probably something like "Hire motorcycle couriers, add a step where the user is told their token needs replacing, a courier comes out and takes it, we get the token". Which is a very different ball game from "Make some web sites and install this off-the-shelf phishing toolkit".
This exactly. The point of a hobby is to spend time doing it and having fun. They don't need end results that you have to "deliver".
The key to success is sincerity, once you can fake that you've got it made.
Wow, putting eastern block apartments as an example is ... not great. Pretty much everyone who grew up in one was looking for ways to move out. Small, no noise insulation, shared space usually in a bad state - e.g. frequently broken elevators, bike rooms with no expectation your bike won't get stolen, lawn in front of the house with dirt paths (shortcuts), usually broken playgrounds. Things are better now - elevators usually work, lawns have tiny fences to avoid walking on them, but now it's dog shit all over the place instead, including playgrounds. I just don't believe shared big buildings / neighbourhoods work well.
Exactly this. I've found many CTOs/VPs that want to feel like they have contributed.

Give them something to focus on and they'll generally not rip the rest apart.

Same goes for designs, have an element in an odd color or font, and it'll be picked up and corrected. Without it you may find yourself redesigning huge swathes of the design.
Methane goes away after 20 years. Carbon Dioxide stays around for thousands of years. We should spend 100% of our resources transitioning to extremely cheap sustainable electric energy.

You base your pitch on other companies' SSO Tax, but you have an Enterprise Tax just like them: We are an org with ~10 users and would like features from your Enterprise plan, and it doesn't even have pricing posted without meeting a sales rep. Even if we had 50 users, which isn't so far in the future, we wouldn't be an "Enterprise" but we'd still like to purchase your products.

> Meanwhile, there's some private healthcare available in the UK, its much cheaper than in USA, but only covers certain things, its not comprehensive.

Also, in the UK we have NHS funded but privately provided healthcare. That's often terrible (see eg all the CQC reports) but also the private companies can't afford to do it. Babylon Health, a very large GP services provider, is handing back the contracts because they can't make it work.
My hard thing right now is how to layout a modern project in terms of folder structure, how big should files be, where to put things. Separating gui from app, nice clean architecture.

I’m enamoured by the concept of functional core imperative shell but I’m struggling to see how to refactor my own projects to be like that.

Github's Rest API [1] is actually quite complex - and has undocumented hurdles.
E.g. when there's more than 40K stars the API caps it there - unless you use the GraphQL API... [2]

There is a wealth of info available through the API.

I used it to work out preferred projects for quants and algotraders [3].
Strangely this work got picked up by a recruitment news site [4] because it revealed surprising programming language usage.

I was excited about Starlink until I learned more about it. Far too many issues. We need wire under ground or 4g. I lived in an area without many services (no cable, water, sewer) and had several satellite services which are more stable than Starlink and still found it inadequate.

This works very well, I use the Instagram PWA instead of the app. It is feature-complete content-wise, so you can view everything you can in the app.

But it is not feature-complete in the other ways, so it has no advertisements (at least for me) or the new algorithmic feed. Just the old version of the Instagram home feed that is chronological.

Highly recommend it if you can live with the decrease in "smoothness" compared to the app.

> see the Mark Twain line about writing a long letter

Do you mean Pascal? It was Blaise Pascal who wrote, in 1657, that his letter was longer than usual because he lacked the time of making it shorter.

After looking up the Quote Investigator [] it seems that sentence from Pascal has a long history of being quoted and appropriated by many authors in English; and in 1975 "an article in the “Chicago Tribune” of Illinois about writing postcards attributed a version of the saying to Twain".

But the originator is French philosopher and polymath Blaise Pascal ;-)

I haven't been to ex-soviet countries but I've stayed in upper middle class "luxury" apartments in a few different Asian countries with lush amenities like gardens, pools, tennis courts, etc. In the end I just prefer a regular old suburban house. You trade walkability for privacy and comfort. Also something about high rise compounds with elevators annoys me. It's like you arrive home but you're still not home, you still have a mini commute through your compound.

When starting a newsletter, everything happens at a snail's pace and nothing seems to move the needle. Best practices, popular growth strategies, newsletter swaps, promotion, what worked for other creators, advice from courses or gurus. Nothing makes a difference.

Until you hit a critical mass.

Then a self-sustaining chain reaction kicks in and pretty much anything you throw at the wall sticks. Which is pretty much the survivor bias given in tutorials and case studies.
