I see that perspective, but the rules around reporting and disposing of bodies have purposes independent of the abortion debate, e.g., to protect the rights of live-born disabled babies from intentional euthanasia.

Here, the police laid the first set of three charges before there was any allegation of anything other than miscarriage/stillbirth, so it's hard to argue that the police were trying to punish the teenager for abortion in this particular case.
What are the advantages of isolates vs running multiple JVM processes other than avoiding slightly higher memory usage and some small context switch overhead on IPC - which should be negligent as presumably communication between isolated components would be coarse grained?
In my very recent experience (specifically in the UK for roles to do with Ruby), the shirtage of developers mean it's way less painful than it used to be, cos companies are marketing themselves on their ease of interview process. I went from sending out CVs to getting a good offer in a week, and that offer was from a 1-stage, 1-hour interview process. Don't get me wrong, I basically spent that entire week on the phone to recruiters, but still, massive improvement on the last time I was in the market.

been recently learning Python in earnest. Coming from Perl, Ruby, PHP, JavaScript, etc. I'm just dumbfounded. How on earth did Python's regex library get to be so bad? It's like it was designed by people that were figuring out how regexes worked as they went along but must have skipped the part about modifiers, how anchoring works, etc. No wonder so many people hate regexes. The ironic part is Python's "one obvious way to do it" zen thing. It has like 5 different ways to do the same thing with a regex whereas Perl, the "more than one way to do it" camp has simple and obvious ways to do everything with regex. I love regex in Perl. In Python I don't want to touch it ever again. Even JavaScript is miles better.

> More important than native looking is to have a GUI that is fast, efficient and accesible. The best option that provides this in a cross platform way is QT. Java Swing and JavaFX are also good options.

I would echo this. Consider applications like Photoshop or Blender, these don't really have a 'native' feel anywhere but their UX is generally responsive. On the other hand you have Electron applications that don't feel native and are also sluggish...

Do you think oil magically starts flowing once a human signs a piece of paper? It takes time, the impacts of the last decision are being felt now 2 years after the fact and the impacts of this decision will take 2 years. We are reaping what was sown 2 years ago and it was entirely predictable and the whole point of the policy of banning new leases was to make oil more expensive to expedite green energy adoption as it becomes more economically viable. It is pretty clear Biden is still signalling that these concessions are temporary and that, if inflation is curbed, will go back to being hard on oil. Like I said, this signaling is more powerful than the actual policy because it prevents investment as the ROI is too risky.
Stop blaming the greens for what they are not responsible.

Merkel (or rathr her minister Altmaier) shortened the life time of nuclear and more importantly curbed the buildup of renewables. Of course the exit of nuclear can only work with enough renewables being built up and that they not only failed but held back. Add to that the complete one sided dependence of Russian gas - they even sold the German gas storage to Gazprom. Guess why the German storage happened to be empty just at the beginning of the invasion of the Ukraine.
No, the reason is that people pretend that their favourite freedom-restricting policy is “against climate change”.

Ban meet. Ban non-private flights. Turn off hot water. Ban nuclear. Ban bitcoin. Ban aircon.

All fake, authoritarian “solutions”.

The real solution is simple: tax fossil fuels. That’s literally all that you need to do to solve climate change? And also the only thing you can do.
In the 1950's - same era as Watson and Crick, Nicholas Rashevsky [1] invented Relational Biology in which he was looking for the mathematics of life itself. His student Robert Rosen [2] went on to pen a book "Life itself..." in 1989, but not until after he had penned a different book "Anticipatory Systems".

While looking for the mathematics of life (living things, not machines), several points came to life, one of which is that while machines have the luxury of plan s and makers,living things don't. How to resolve the difference led to the thesis that living things are anticipatory - they are driven by predictive "models".

The low level paramecium is able to swim towards "food" by using chemical sensors and measuring gradients; of course, that creature doesn't have anything like a human brain (the topic of this thread), so its models are more innate internal structures; humans have those too, but over time, the adult brain emerges as the supreme modelling agent. It is anticipatory.

What does anticipatory mean?
A child lets go of a heavy object and it smashes the child's toe. Next time, the child won't let go of heavy objects because it learned an important correlation (causality isn't yet in play). Correlation is sufficient to teach that child a new anticipatory rule; simplest form: dropping heavy stuff --> pain.

That applies to reading and human prediction machines. Just try learning a foreign language by reading children's books - the pictures really help. Over time, you don't need them anymore. @hunta20097 on this page says this with different words, but the game is the same: model building and refinement.

There are books 'out there' which try to explain all of this in Bayesian terms, that we are always "updating our priors" as we encounter new experiences. It's way above my pay grade to know if that's right, but it still offers satisfying explanations.

Many US states have weight/size taxes and fines that are still "on the books" but haven't been enforced in decades. Maybe as gas taxes drop below certain funding goals they will re-evaluate enforcing them.

The YIMBYs want to move to your neighborhood, so you and your neighbors are obligated to make as much space for them as needed. Oh, you like your neighborhood how it is?

Don't worry, you'll learn to love <relying on public transport instead of cars, no parking, increased traffic, blocked out sunlight, tiny and eventually no yards, large buildings next door>. Your way of living is bad because cars and sprawl are bad and YIMBYs don't like them, they think the walkable urban mixed use neighborhoods are superior, so we're going to remove the zoning to force change. Aren't those things what you want?

No? Well you'll learn to like them, because you shouldn't have power over what your neighbor can build on their property. You say your neighborhood overwhelmingly votes to keep it that way, not just you? Actually, your neighborhood shouldn't have power to vote for this zoning either, because we know what's best for your neighborhood, not you.

This is how every argument with a YIMBY goes.

Bias.

I interviewed at over 25 places through the past year. Here are my observations:

More than half the time the employer knew the work that needed to be performed in the near immediate but had absolutely no idea what they wanted in a developer.

Nobody can define senior. At some places they were expecting a senior developer who could do anything. At other places it was a trend chaser who plays with dozens of tools. At other places it was a framework user placing text on a screen.

Algorithms are where interviewers go when they don’t really want to talk to people. This is a danger zone because the candidate can fail any number of reason, most especially code style and vanity. Worse, many of these algorithms are completely outside of any real world concern better solved with a well formed data structure.

Unfounded assumptions are the standard. Most people writing software professionally have never done anything else professionally, which is a tragic silo. When you’re a hammer everything is a nail tunnel vision mentality is the expectation. In this case the goal, if want to be hired, is to fall into the middle of the bell curve. Don’t be awesome.
> This is nonsense. Unemployment is down.

IIRC, so are real wages:

America's inflation problem gets worse (https://www.axios.com/2022/07/13/inflation-cpi-biden-prices):

> High inflation is causing the sharpest decline in real wages in decades. Even in a robust jobs market, the typical worker ends up financially worse off with every month that passes.

With Surge in July, U.S. Recovers the Jobs Lost in the Pandemic (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/05/business/economy/july-job...):

> The Fed has raised interest rates four times in its battle to curb the steepest inflation in four decades, and policymakers have signaled that more increases are in store. That strategy is likely to lead to a slowdown in hiring later in the year as companies cut payrolls to match expected lower demand.

> Already, surveys of restaurateurs, home builders and manufacturers have reflected concern that current spending will not continue. Initial claims for unemployment insurance have been creeping up, and job openings have fallen for three consecutive months.

In an Unequal Economy, the Poor Face Inflation Now and Job Loss Later (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/08/business/economy/inflatio...)

> In that case, poorer families will almost certainly bear the brunt again, because low-wage workers are often the first to lose hours and jobs. The bifurcated economy, and the policy decisions that stem from it, could become a double whammy for them, inflicting higher costs today and unemployment tomorrow....

> America’s poor have spent part of the savings they amassed during coronavirus lockdowns, and their wages are increasingly struggling to keep up with — or falling behind — price increases. Because such a big chunk of their budgets is devoted to food and housing, lower-income families have less room to cut back before they have to stop buying necessities. Some are taking on credit card debt, cutting back on shopping and restaurant meals, putting off replacing their cars or even buying fewer groceries.

This is very interesting!

I've tried something somewhat similar in the past. I was looking at implementing an extremely fast decompressor, with ratio similar to LZ4. I was able to get 2x the decompression speed of LZ4, but struggled with compression ratio. The idea was to have 16 byte matches, and allow the matches to apply a 16-bit mask, telling whether each byte is part of the match or a literal. Then I restricted the compressor to only be able to use 16 distinct masks.

This was extremely fast to decompress, because each 16-byte match is: load the 16-byte match into an AVX2 register, load 16 bytes of literals, load the mask you're using, shuffle the literals, then blend the literals and the match. And because the matches are fixed size, you can start the fetch for multiple matches in parallel.

However, the problem I ran into, and would love to solve, is that I also wanted fast-ish compression speed. And it is very hard to search for good matches quickly. Since you have holes in the match.

I guess the author is looking at GPU compression, so they are taking a somewhat brute-force approach. But I'd be interested to see how they're doing the match finding, and what kind of speed they're getting.
Biden banned new leases on Federal lands on the first day in office. Like I said, the policy did not prevent more oil production but investment in new production on existing leases were certainly tempered because companies did not want to spends $BIG_NUMBER to simply be told to shut off the pumps if the Democrats win the midterm elections.
Ask HN: Which user referral software do you use?
I run a service that has a great potential for more users with referrals, as our target segment is groups. Currently, we've integrated rewardful-dot-com, however, the service works only for the Stripe purchases. Is there any other services that offer to integrate with other Payment gateways like (RazorPay) or has the ability to accept the referral purchase by a webhook?
And with async/await, server side Swift is really nice now. The old stuff with eventloops and SwiftNIO was painful.

I think real DevOps works here just fine as long as your organization allows the time for deep work.

If you are writing application code with 0% of your brain lent to operational concern, you are writing it in a disconnected dream cloud and your organization will have problems that come from it.

The answer to context switching is not do it several times per day. The answer is NOT to ignore operational concerns and mindsets.

Many engineers pride themselves on having a wide set of skills and enjoy switching contexts, languages, tools and mindsets for variety and to reduce boredom.
>Does anyone have examples of a world power funding a revolutionary force and it ending in peace and prosperity?

Western Europe in and post WWII would seem to apply.

Israel is pretty prosperous if you're Israeli.

The problem is that basically wherever you go in the world, you can find lack of peace and prosperity, and you can usually find some reason or another to attribute some blame to one power or another involved in the last major change. Any location you name will welcome a "what about X!?"

The whole world though, the whole of human civilization is now and has been for a long time on a significant upward trend in peace and prosperity. If you smooth out the bumps there is a very significant increase in every metric you could think was positive. Consistently. For centuries. Is that a result of world power using force? Probably to a significant extent.
Funny. I work at Yelp and this was one of the interview questions I was asked almost 10 years ago.

I'm not saying to lie about WMDs and invade a country on a false premise like Iraq, I'm saying to pick up specific people at a high level in the cartels.

Yes, it clearly is.

I don't know what you mean by "peak load", but it is 10% more electricity consumed. Electric cars rather help than load the grid, as their charging can be easily controlled to help balance the grid.

And yes, a small part of the battery capacity won't be "donated" but rather rented to the grid in exchange for much lower prices. VW is about to roll out a corresponding project, owners can expect much cheaper charging up to even free charging.

And no it isn't the Greens who are feeding the fossil fuel industry but those who hold back renewables and the electrification of transportation.

What about Lenin's atrocities?
Maybe this is cynical, but in my experience, companies are hyper-averse to expenditure, not to risk. They will thoroughly (though often ineffectively) analyze developers intended for medium- or high-salary brackets, but they are happy to also pay a third of the price for barely questioned offshore developers who are indeed very risky to whatever product they will be touching.
This is only true for US salaries (and sometimes specifically within Bay Area/Seattle/New York markets)... pretty much everywhere else, salaries are a lot lower.

L7 salaries are 300k base and around 400k equity in the US, so hiring experienced/accomplished developers is intensely difficult for companies outside of the top tier with high margins or startups with potential exits.
I have found many far more serious bugs, even at larger companies, that have paid me under $500. No one feels security researchers time is even worth that of the internal engineers creating the bugs.
But what exactly is the erroneous conclusion here? It clearly exists widely and many people report having it. We don’t know how it works or its mechanism. We have no idea how to create more of it outside of having babies. We have no idea if animals have it.

This. Makes everything so smooth. Serverless cloud providers love it too. (Cloudflare Pages, etc.)
Someone give this person their fifteenth cat!
I feel like Erlang somewhat missed its timing window on this, though. With platforms like AWS, GCP, and Azure, you don't really worry about upgrade downtimes, because you just roll out a new fleet of servers (or new fleet of pods, if you're using something like Kubernetes), and then drain the traffic from and decommission the old fleet.

Certainly there are a lot of companies managing real physical servers, where this is not as feasible, but I think the ease of server provisioning makes hot code reloading just not that important to most engineering teams.

(And personally I'd be wary of using something like that, considering that the rollback path -- in that case that you deploy bad code and need to back it out -- sounds not as robust.)
