> What makes the AGPL unattractive? I thought it was basically just the GPL with a limitation on using the software to provide a SaaS product. You don't even have to contribute unpublished changes, right?

The things AGPL adds to GPL don't just affect people trying to do a SaaS offering of the program. If you modify it and users interact with it over a computer network you have to make source for your modified version available to them.

For example suppose it was software to add online ordering to restaurants. A restaurant modifies its copy so that it can be given the recipes of the items they sell and the modified software uses that information to allow customers to easily exclude items they might be allergic to or that violate their religious or ethical eating rules.

If that restaurant wants to use that as a competitive advantage over other restaurants they aren't going to want to have to give away their modifications, so aren't going to want to use AGPL software. They'd probably be fine with GPL software.

I remember when he was posting more frequently (I guess there has been a hiatus over the last 2-3 years) I would step away from the Friday evening company all hands to watch his new video as soon as I saw the notification. Which makes me think, perhaps this channel is still the only one I actually have "click the bell to be notified".

> Source: Used to run an e-commerce company that shipped up to 2 million packages annually. Once we optimised shipping and processing, customer service inquiries and complaints dropped dramatically, and customer trust / sentiment skyrocketed.

I used to work at company that shipped ~30k packages a day. I’d say 90% of customer complaints were about the delivery delays, and only 10% about the rest. It was really hard to optimize because we had 1M products and were using just-in-time logistics with very little inventory. This is a specific market that Amazon hasn’t really entered yet, but when they’ll do they’ll crush everyone.
And that is the applicant’s choice if they want to spend their time on finding that out.

Otherwise they can apply with Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Facebook who might be hiring within a narrower, but higher pay band.
sure, notice how he says things like "3 double handfuls of charcoal, 3 single handfuls of iron-bearing sand", or "dry fire for one hour before trying to smelt", etc. Any time he mentions a number or a ratio, I guarantee it's hard-won knowledge that took ages to come up with (even if it was one of his ancestors that did it, and he just learned it from a book).
Sure, chain-of-custody rules would have gotten it thrown out as evidence in a hypothetical criminal trial. That doesn't mean it could not have been discussed on social media.
I think Google, GPT-3, co-pilot, simple tricks like a 'wordcloud' and even regurgitation/review communities like HN, reddit and good reads show that the presentation format of the information in a given system can be transformed to many diverse representations.

Books and movies have long made plots off new ways to help humans learn things and form connections by either 1) changing the presentation format or 2) downloading all the information into the human brain to let it do the sorting. For example, overlying data on a map in 3d using glasses or wiring a human brain into a computer's serial ports.

The main problem moving forward is making the data available. I have a fear that in the future only governments and large companies in bed with governments will have access to this data and use it in unethical ways.

Meanwhile, startups and individuals will be bared from creating 'unlicensed' presentations or accessing the underlying data itself (i.e. running a search engine)
You're not describing problems that the laws were intended to solve, at least from public statements. I'm also unsure as to whether the issues you describe are more than 'nuisance' problems, in that they don't cause long-term instability or inequity.
yeah, but the economics on that aren't as efficient. ;-)
Plenty of fireflies in my yard this summer.

I mow my grass but refuse to do anything else to it. It gets water from the rain, if it rains.

Just a few days ago, we had a swarm of a few hundred dragonflies feasting on tons of mosquitos - had a lot of rain recently.

> But the point is that you do need an observer capable of perceiving that meaning.

Too true....and this is no small feat! (I could tell stories until the sun came up...)

> It doesn't make sense that the observer would be the source of the values, but at the same time antithetical to their existence as the OP claimed.

Have you taken into consideration what implements "it doesn't make sense"? Are you not running into the very problem you noted in your prior sentence?

> Sure, but we then operate on an entirely different basis that precludes the terms such as 'value' that we are currently using.

Surely, often and to varying degrees. But then, to what degree is all of this speculation? How might one know?

> If the layer is different, then the concepts will be different to.

Exactly!!

> And if we can't point to those concepts, what exactly are we discussing?

Assuming other employers are not posting more helpful pay range information. If you are trying to attract very qualified candidates but also signaling that you want to pay bottom dollar, that might not work so well for any market where very qualified labor supply is tight.
Colorado resident here. Maybe companies will start to take this seriously now that more states are passing similar laws. My go to response to recruiter spam for the past 1.5 years has been "Do you have Colorado Equal Pay for Equal Work Act compliant job listings" to which they usually don't reply. The majority of "US Remote" posts I see don't include this information but the ones that do are interesting data points.
The same thing happened with the hydraulic press channel. Copycats emerged there as well.

That's interesting. Would it have been better if sega had wait until post PS2? The Dreamcast was the last console I loved. I bought one on launch day. But I think looking back it was always doomed. I can't recall properly but I think it was someone in EA or high up in sega America who tried to persuade sega Japan that they wouldn't survive with the type of games they were planning for the Dreamcast. Oh well in those two years the Dreamcast had some of my favourite games.

I took a look to see if there were any requirements for the range of the pay scale to be posted, and it looks like this is all that's said:

> “Pay scale” means the salary or hourly wage range that the employer reasonably expects to pay for the position.

Also, apparently you can already ask for the pay scale, but this law would require it to be on any job posting.

> Existing law requires an employer, upon reasonable request, to provide the pay scale for a position to an applicant applying for employment.

And you would be able to get the pay range for your current job.

> This bill would also require an employer, upon request, to provide to an employee the pay scale for the position in which the employee is currently employed.

But in all seriousness, this is one of the worst things marketer types make us suffer. Breaking consistency of naming and numbering. EACH and EVERY model series of ANYTHING successful just has to break the pattern at some time.

Remember when Nokia phones had 4-digit model numbers, optionally with "i"? Then Nseries and Eseries arrived which all had Symbian, but confusingly enough they continued to make 4-digit models with Symbian in parallel. They also started "classic" and "slide" series which often reused other unrelated model numbers. Around 2010 they changed it all to a hot mess like X3-02, C3-01, then came 3-digit optionally with Asha in front. Thankfully they were not as creative with Lumia which had 3-digit or 4-digit models.

Desk? My workspace is a bed, with a 50in tv for a monitor at the foot and two big monitors stacked to the side. Has anyone else gone the completely lazy route? I can work or game longer and in complete comfort, but also swivel them if I ever wanted to sit. A fourth monitor is at my desk collecting dust. This type of setup requires you to be celibate and living on the fringes of society. But I type this wrapped in a blanket, head nested in pillows.

Most of the early industrial revolution was done with water wheels, steam engines came much later. Since most of the iron and copper extraction would be much much easier since you could loot them from pre-collapse cities, it could be a wash.

And of course if even a single library survives mostly intact then our successors will get an absolutely massive jump start. Just a single "principles of physics" college textbook contains centuries of research.
The counter-argument is that you can get arbitrarily deeply nested code that way. The second style uses what is known as guard clauses. The way to think about it is that it establishes a precondition that the rest of the code can then assume is met. It is similar to an assert statement, or to precondition checks in a design-by-contract language. You don’t want to indent the regular-case code just because it is preceded by a guard. If you have multiple such conditions, it’s like going through a checklist of what you have to check before continuing with the actual operation.

Moreover, if you have exceptions, any line of code containing a function call can potentially throw, so that the subsequent lines at the same level are not executed. (So you can’t see from the block structure if code is always executed anyway, when the language uses exceptions.) This is as if you’d factored out the guard clause into a separate function that you invoke at the location where you previously had the guard clause. In the if-then-else alternative, you can’t factor out the if-then separately from the else. The guard-clause style thus also affords more flexibility regarding code organization.
Gabe Brown's work is primarily on improving soil health, not on earthworks for flood prevention, aquifer recharge, etc. His gains in rainwater infiltration is a secondary effect of the steps he's taken to improve his soil.

In terms of projects whose primary aim is flood prevention / aquifer recharge, John D. Liu, Andrew Millison, and Geoff Lawton all have documented quite a few projects that have been very successful in addressing the problem.

I'm really starting to think this is absolutely on purpose. Clear versioning would make all cables/accessories instantly outdated/undesirable whenever the new generation starts to show up. Unclear, obfuscated versioning is used to dampen this effect - for most purposes the older cables are "good enough" anyway, and when not, the user will make another buy. Same thing with HDMI or WiFi.
"can't tell what you're arguing." I can; it's essentially a passive-aggressive conniption about an issue that doesn't exist that he has constructed to suit a political narrative glued permanently in his head about states that have in all likelihood, policies he views as not Randian/Trumpian enough.
No, it is Turing-complete.

I was going off of the article and Nix documentation that says Nix is declarative. But if it actually is not, then there shouldn't be a problem with power.

However, Nix proponents shouldn't claim it is declarative either.
Price transparency underpins proper allocation of resources in an economy. This is from microeconomics 101. It would be greatly beneficial in the long term for a society to allocate resources (including labor) to where it is needed.
This is a "doomer" comment and should be called out as such. It doesn't reflect the reality that in general globally, people enjoy a higher quality of life than previous generations do.
Combining heat + electrical energy makes the stats really muddy.

Does 10% of the burned energy end up as electricity? Or is it more like 30%? Hard to tell.

The real question is, what do you do with that heat when you don't want it? What's the efficiency then?

I will say, it would be pretty neat if one day we could get a mutli-device heat pump system going. Wouldn't it be cool if the heat pulled from your home was dumped into the water heater before being extracted vented? Or if instead of your fridge having a heat pump, it simply tied into a home heat pump system?

This sort of thing would call for a centralized compressed lines. And, perhaps the reason that's not happened is because we don't want to worry about what happens when toxic gasses discharge into the home.

Still, would be pretty neat if we could have a centralized cold and hot compressed gas system for buildings.
It's amazing how such sickening conduct can just fly in modern democratic societies.
Absolutely false. There are well-understood climate patterns that affect the hydrology and temperatures and for most agriculturally productive places in the world climate scientists have already made predictions for those.

HN has become very hostile to reality when reality makes people scared.

I no longer expect any thing I say to convince people, but still keep saying what I do so that other people that see it, can feel a little less crazy/alone.

Consider it my, probably futile, struggle against the upcoming wave of cognitive dissonance. As soon as I realized the way things were headed, I also realized that, paradoxically, the more obvious our situation becomes the more aggressively people will refused to see it.

There was a time on HN where downvotes where pretty exclusively reserved for trollish comments and other inappropriate content. I agree with your feeling that this is disheartening, but strangely serves as evidence that these things are happening.

Ask HN: Burning out from people rather than overwork
I’ve been working in development in some form for about 5 years, and I’ve been at my current job for about 1.5 years. It’s genuinely interesting product on the surface, and at some-point I know I was pretty excited about working here. All roles I’ve had, including my current one, have all just been as individual contributors, so no stressful side hustles or anything, just working on teams.

I’ve noticed a real shift in my own outlook the past year or so. I’ve messed up on things at a pretty regular interval, and as tacky as it is, there’s pull request comments and reviews that have really stuck in my mind, and coloured how I see coworkers. We’re all remote, we speak during the usual scrum meetings, and that’s about it. It’s allowed me to fill in this really cynical view of them all, and I find myself just resenting them, while also feeling a bunch of guilt over tripping over missed A/Cs in a PR or something. As well as my own gut tells me the code base we’re responsible for is too huge to be the responsibility of one team, I still find there’s entire areas of unfamiliarity that I run into, which just leaves the entire project feeling distant, if that makes sense.

The past month it feels like I’ve taken a bit of a nose dive, and started just being incredibly slow to do anything. I don’t know if I’ve felt this negative about my own job before, and it’s scared me a bit.

Maybe this is just me venting, but I’m curious if anyone here has felt this way before. Burnout not from people, rather than late overworked nights.
Although I'm a big proponent of heat pumps, they are not the solution here. I ran the numbers for my country and it still works out cheaper to heat with gas than a heat pump. Natural gas works out to be 13c/kWh and an electric heat pump 16c/kWh of heat. Why would someone pay close to €10k to switch to a heat pump, if the end result is going to be bills will not change?

The only case a heat pump would be cheaper today is if you have solar, as then you can produce heat and hot water without any grid usage for half the year (the warmer part though), and you probably have net billing for the other half.

In my country (and most of the EU) the elephant in the room is a lot of the electricity comes from natural gas, so switching to heat pumps alone will not drastically reduce natural gas demand. The market rates say it's better to burn directly than convert to electricity and then back to heat.

I hope this is finally the thing that forces the EU to decarbonise electricity generation and switch to green energy (inc. nuclear), but given how slow things have changed over the last decade I somewhat doubt that. We already have the technology but Russian energy has been too cheap, now though...

> In 2020, the share of foreigners in the fair market value of homes was almost zero.

a) What is the precise meaning of "foreigners" in this context? How is it measured? When the identity is hidden behind a numbered company, does our expert source disclose that?

b) If someone who has gained citizenship then accepts a wire transfer of $10M+ (from someone who is not a citizen) and then proceeds to buy 10 houses (overbidding for each), is that "foreign" involvement?

c) By what methodology were these numbers compiled, from which data sources, and can people examine these processes with no restrictions?

> It was 0.56 percent to be exact, based on figures compiled by Brendon Ogmundson, chief economist with the B.C. Real Estate Association.

"Was" (to be within reality) "exact" and "based on..." is an interesting claim from an epistemological perspective. Is Mr. Ogmundson, chief economist with the B.C. Real Estate Association, guaranteed to be a trustworthy source of information?

> Ogmundson used official B.C. government data on property transfer taxes.

Is there some reason one should believe that this data, or the government that administers it, is trustworthy? (There is a fairly substantial amount of historic stories to believe that they are not.)

> Previously the government didn't track details around who was buying homes, and this is something that changed along with the foreign buyer tax.

There is what is claimed has changed, and what has actually changed. Often, the difference is impossible to resolve - it is also often difficult to realize that a difference between the two is even possible.
