The name Nix is used for the language, package system, and sometimes the whole ecosystem. There is a recent post that tells the difference https://www.haskellforall.com/2022/08/stop-calling-everythin...

Knowing functional programming helps but Nix still is a hard language to learn. I have a lot of Haskell experience but the Nix language was very confusing for me. At first I couldn't even tell a variable name from a keyword (it is a convention to call variables "self" and "super" in some contexts). The Nix language has been created for research in build systems and has evolved over a long time, so it has accumulated quite a lot of idiosyncrasies and cruft.

I hope that a simpler typed language like https://github.com/tweag/nickel replaces it.

These desks are very nice, but they are not for me. I don't so much have a computer, as the computer has me, I just happen to occupy the same room as the computer at times. Once, my workstation sat in a different room from me, but I have since put it inside a custom built arcade cabinet that sits on the other side of the room from where I sit. I have a long desk, with many monitors of varying sizes and orientations elevated on suspsension arms along wiht multiple laptops sat on dedicated holders. I have a second desk for guests/visitors/different work, and a desk for electronics work that is currently in the process of being rebuilt. Lots of storage in the form of cabinets with thousands of carefully labelled drawers of varying dimensions - generally the dimensions of an individual drawer remains the same, but the dimensions between drawers varies, though these rules don't always apply as I subscribe to the idea of D Space which is a lower, more fundamental level of existence than L Space that the Librarian occupies. Cable management is more of a suggestion. The amount of cabling all together is thicker than two obsolete Java technical books and wrapped up in velcro straps tighter than your bum knee after leg day. I go on tidying up sprees when I need to step away from the code, unfortunately that can sometimes mean my room looks like a hyperactive six year old brought his pet tornado into the electronics supply closet for a day.
Companies will still try and bait and switch.

Post huge ranges and tell very qualified people that they only qualify for the low end, for instance.

I requested to have all my info deleted by them. Let's see how long it takes.

I am aware this does not fix the problem of the already stolen data, but it might make the data collection cost/benefit analysis in favor of discarding collection all-together. Maybe. Let me dream, would you?
There should be.

My comment is to counteract the knee-jerk HN opinion that "All unions are a panacea!" without ignoring the very real, very well-documented counterpoints.
Dissociatives seem to be in their own class when it comes to addiction, and I wouldn't compare them with your classic psychedelics that work at 5HT2A on that metric. A lot of people get addicted to dissociatives like DXM where you don't that kind of dependence and abuse with most 5HT2A agonists.

Many dissociatives also inhibit dopamine and norepinephrine transport, or induce their release, which can have rewarding and addictive results on their own.
And the only reasonable implementation will be in Apple hardware.
I think the main reason is too easily distinguish (to the program) between letters - and I guess to also have shorter words.
Amazon to most is primarily a website where you get everything mostly reliable and mostly with a consumer focussed service (I for one never had any issues when returning things, any problem was like "yeah ok, send it back, we send you a new one or do you want a refund?" ... For sellers they play a different game with their market power, discounts or they won't offer your things or rank competitors higher)
This is "Primitive Technology". It sounds like you're looking for a "Post-Apocalypse Technology" series. I would watch that as well.

That is not a loophole. It still solves the problem of information not being transmitted quickly enough through the marketplace about which jobs/types of labor have too much supply or insufficient demand if the bottom of the pay range is too low.

Easily searchable and sortable price transparency will help allocate labor resources in a more timely manner.

> we believe having a direct relationship with the company is best for our employees

that's too bad, because your employees seem to believe otherwise.
You're flailing because your statements are irrelevant and off topic. Physicians have a fiduciary duty to their patients. No one disputes that. However, contrary to what jhanschoo stated above, that fiduciary duty has nothing to do with stating "an unorthodox opinion regarding their patient's health“ unless the physician is gaining an unusual financial benefit from it (like making fake medicine and then selling it directly to patients). Go back and read the thread again so that you can understand the issue under discussion.
This is a pretty bold claim. Unwrapping the rhetoric, it sounds like you’re claiming that Holmes was given a harsher sentence because she’s a woman. However, the case is built on deliberate defrauding of investors to the tune of billions of dollars, if I understand it correctly. (I’ll admit to not paying close attention.) Do you have any examples of crimes of similar scope and how they were treated?
Sometimes I think that the border of GenX and Millenials have the best grasp on reality.

US Boomers had literally the world handed to them in the shadow of WW2 and therefore have no conception of the privilege into which they were born.

US Zoomers have assumed they're screwed and have given up all consideration that working hard has any sort of payoff.

In the middle, you find those who understand that success is borne of a combination of hard work, talent, privilege, and luck. Not any single one of the above.

>One of the value-adds of Amazon is there's a whole bunch of tech sellers don't need to know how to write, run, and maintain. You'd need to understand how big the niche "technically literate to run their own e-commerce business, but selling on Amazon for other reasons" is, then how your operation would answer those "other reasons" to make you competitive to the niche.<

The bigger stores with IT staff and budgets would be first to join and contribute. Some of us consultants could help the smaller shops and possibly combine energies into communities or coops using shared resources.
> I'm curious. We hear a lot about gender pay gaps, but I suspect that H1B pay gaps may be more extreme.

How much is a visa worth to you? A lot, so yes they'll pay people less; that's the way it works.
Exactly. Yes.

I'd also just say this is a low information environment. Traditionally, we'd rely on the media as a line of defense. Product reviews would tell us who to trust, what the good deals are. We trusted the media to review & find problems & surface issues in the past. But those institutions have undergone enormous revenue crunch, and there's very few left who can really go in depth & do the deep, thorough, intelligent exploration we ought trust them for. Online marketplaces in the world today are bedlam, and there are few trusted authorities. This is a general world condition, but with tech it's extra bad because when things don't work, we almost ever know why/who to blame, it's all just frustrating wizard-shit that's broken & not going, & we are left bereft utterly impotent in the face of these high tech system's mysterious failures.

Honestly, I'd prefer not paying for USB-IF certification on my cables, and I don't care that none of the official logos designating certain compliances are met are embossed on my cables. But I also am a geek who will go spend 3 hours to find Benson (alas no longer active) or Linus's in-depth tech reviews[1], and who doesn't mind trying some cables (buy a couple different ones at a time), finding some not working, & returning those, to save a couple bucks at some hassle. For most people: just buy certified gear.

Audacity segfaults all the time when I use it. Don’t make it sound like it is more stable than it really is. Security bugs are a subset of bugs, of which Audacity has many.
It’s a start but it’s not enough. They should post the inter-quartile range, median and median, but obviously that becomes cluttered.

Take Netflix for example who famously only had a single “Software Engineer” role regardless of skill level.

You’d see something like $75K-$1M which is not super helpful.

One thing that isn’t clear - does the elixir runtime (OTP) run on the iOS device?

Hi, Graham, I have a few questions.

Does Eelco's departure from Tweag have any impact on Nickel as a possible replacement for nix?

There are lots of fragmented attempts at making nix easier/more immediately valuable/lower barrier to entry. Some of these are personal projects, some are businesses. Some of these just make nix easier, and some attempt to put something in between nix and the user. I'm thinking about things like Cachix, Flox, and divnix (formerly devos). How do you see your work interacting with these?

One of my barriers to adoption at work has been ensuring maintenance continuity. That's always going to be the case for tools that aren't ubiquitous, but I worry with nix that teams without my assistance will revert to other tools they know better, even if I've invested a good bit of time in teaching them enough to keep things going. Do you seek to address that?
I wish, I've looked a little but part of the problem is the new specs. I doubt many testers can be "forward compatible" to be able to test new specs before they exist. I have an old USB-A tester I used but it's obviously useless for USB-C and all it's specs. Even then, the old tester I have just tells you the speed/wattage, not the max, it's more for monitoring than testing.

At some point I'll just have to bite the bullet and get whatever is on the market and hope there aren't new specs right around the corner.
Any additional info? The linked website is just a teaser.

“Disruptive innovation” and “growth mindset” are my two favorite ones.

And like all things, it flows from the intelligence agencies, to the military, to the police so that it can be used on citizens. This is about as close to minority report level precognition as we can attain in this century.

I can imagine a scenario: A dumb-box is put in a squad car that can run queries specific to a person. You get pulled over, give the cop some lip for harassing you over your license plate expiration (the new sticker is in the mail). The cop goes back and uses the dumb-box to pull up 10 mile areas around a major crime and you happened to be in one of them. Now you're in the back of the squad car to be "interviewed" (read: assaulted) over an alleged association with a crime. Doesn't matter if within that 10 miles is a grocery store and a bank.

It doesn't end with the police though. This is enabled because we willfully carry tracking devices everywhere we go. It's the greatest slight of hand ever pulled by the CIA and FBI. So great in fact I doubt the legend of corruption Hoover could imagine it. Some of us avoid the obvious traps like social media and some of us even have hardware switches on our phones. The vast, vast majority of Americans are beacons brighter than the sun with Tiktok (CCP intelligence app), Facebook (US intelligence app), etc.

Privacy advocates have been shouting from the rooftops for two decades now about the future of spying and we gave up privacy for convenience and even paid for it. In some sense, we deserve exactly what we paid for.
"It's there" != "it's economical to extract commercially". And that != "it's more economical to extract than other places".
Thanks. It's refreshing to see content on freebsd on YouTube from someone like this YouTuber. I started off on freebsd many moons ago ( I think freebsd 3.0 was the big upgrade with SMP on dual Celeron machines with some Taiwanese motherboard ) and have always had a fond spot for it. Spent sooooo many hours trying to rebuild and recompile library dependencies and kernel tweaks that it was almost an expectation. This was all alongside some Slackware tinkering.

Then used openbsd at work. And Solaris/redhat etc.

Until Ubuntu.

It's just so darn easier for most things. And it just works. Debian++.

Still like installing freebsd once in a while on a VM to tinker on, and some services are probably still best run on it comparing to others.

But using freebsd as a desktop? .. not sure I'd go that far.
just looked at that youtube channel... holy cow the amount of content coming out is huge. surely its not just 1 guy doing all the research _and_ narrating? he probably has a team?

Edit: wow ok it really is 1 guy. (albeit good patreon revenue to pay for research time)

from patreon:

The same IRS that wanted increased reporting on any bank account with over $600? I'd really like to see them spend some of that new funding on upgrading their systems and processes first.
Never mind where he lives. Where does he get the time to do this amazing stuff?
You could use this to power AND heat the cold side of a heat pump, possibly getting far more than the original heat output of the gas into a building in a cold climate that would normally be too cold for a heat pump.
Do you know how you would get penalised?

I read the article and it says nothing about Holmes’ remorse or lack thereof. It’s normal to exhaust your legal options, and there’s nothing wrong with it. Do you have any stronger evidence for your claims?
It is very helpful because any half competent software engineer will know to stay away from Netflix, because demand for competent software engineers means they can filter out pay ranges that will waste their time.

For others, they will know that the bottom of the pay range for software engineers is $75k so if they want to earn that much, they should acquire those skills.
We already do this via hypernile.com although we are not open source.

The biggest challenge for you will be shipping from the 3pl. Amazon warehouses all talk to each other and it helps them keep the shipping costs bare minimum.

We use machine learning at scale to replicate it and we have made good progress however we haven't been able to distribute inventory between warehouses. Amazon can do it because they have their own distribution trucks while we are surviving on eating ramen for dinner

The hardest part is convincing warehouses to connect into our network
This stuff is basically all true, and I'll add that it started in the Clinton years. Dems wanted to open up homeownership to minorities, Republicans wanted more mortgages, it was a pretty perfect policy, then they forgot to regulate the mortgage industry. The documents that came out of banks revealing predatory lending tactics are... basically evil.
What exactly should I do when an armed invader come into my house while I’m there? Are the police going to get there in time? Is the person just going to say “my bad” and peacefully leave? Are we going to sit down and have a beer together?
Why "ran" in the past tense? The plant is still running.

That’s not what it means because Netflix also pays a lot on the high end. There’s no way to map your particular skills to the range without first getting an offer if the range is large.

For those who aspire to the low end that’s fine but there’s still no guarantee you’d get an offer.

Though I support this move whole heartedly it still doesn’t change the fact that you have to interview and get an offer to know the particulars.

The impossible ideal would be a company preemptively giving you an offer before interviewing given predetermined interview performance. That way you can only interview at places that will pay you want, guaranteed. This is basically the same as applying to places with a very tight range.
I doubt the people who are literally responsible for deciding who to drone strike with meta data from things like this are going to suddenly turn around and decide "well, we definitely don't want that for our citizens".

This is all according to plan. The best part it's totally politically ambiguous. Republicans are war hawks and "the party of the people" (Democrats) have been responsible for thousands of extrajudicial killings overseas. Both major parties LOVE this idea. Who wouldn't want to be able to manufacture a crime against your alleged political adversaries?
Well this flooding is occurring 8 months after the eruption mentioned so it seems a reasonable question to ask.
I would recommend Porkbun.com or Gandi.net
I have personally used both, but now moved away from Gandi. (There was billing issue and I was not happy how it was handled.) Anyway, happy with Porkbun. When I tried to register my domain for 10 years, they actually called me to confirm that it was not a mistake on my part. Very pleased with Porkbun support & yes, you can talk to a human.
> Not only are their tactics ineffective but their goals are an exercise in absurdity.

Wait, how do you know the tactics are ineffective?

> do you really not see the difference between gluing yourself to priceless art in the Louvre and deliberately flouting a specific law meant to oppress you?

Again, I'm not saying there aren't big differences... I'm saying that the specific complaint you had about XR, like them coming across as self-absorbed whiny children, is something that easily could have been said about important protests of the past. So the comparison is still relevant. You complained about these protests disrupting normal people (like the family on the way to the airport in your example), but that same type of disruption was common in these revered protests from the past. So I'll try one last time: if protests from the past caused similar levels of disruption, but we can agree that those who engaged in them were not "insane, spoiled, self-absorbed children", then what makes protesters today using similarly disruptive methods "insane, spoiled, self-absorbed children"?

I can't tell if you're trying to argue dishonestly. I'm not arguing that XR's goals are good, or sane. I'm not saying there are no differences between Civil Rights protests and climate crisis protests. I'm trying to understand why you see these people as "insane, spoiled, self-absorbed children" instead of people simply engaging in protests using methods with precedent.
If it's anything like Phoenix, it's just websocket based on the client (iOS device in this case) which has a DOM diffing mechanism to patch in updates from the Elixir backend.

Short answer: no the client side is not elixir I suspect.
Are there many place-of-residence lists like this? You’re only accepting people who actually live there? Do they have to be Pakistani race or just live there?
Not quite as pre-historic, but along similar lines, I quite enjoyed Honzuki no Gekokujou (Ancendance of a bookworm), a series about a book-loving girl reborn as a sickly poor commoner child in a fantasy world and her attempts to create books (and other modern products) from scratch.
