1) Don't make a rash career move now. Knowing you are about to be responsible for another human can be frightening, but you want to run towards your future, not away from fear. After adding a baby to your family, your time at work will be rough, and you may underperform; that is normal. As a general rule, it is better to do that in a job you know versus a new one, where this is the first impression you get of people.

2) (Assuming you are in the US) If you can choose health insurance plans (annual enrollment this year and baby next year), check how your health insurance handles birth. There can be a massive difference in how much you pay out of pocket.

3) Plan to take parental leave. If your company offers it, take it... all of it. If it doesn't, budget to take three months off (but seriously, not less than half that). You and the mother won't be getting much sleep, there will be more to do, and last but not least, this is the only time your child will be a baby. This period is not something you can redo later.

4) Get your mental health in check. Your constant fear of losing your job and a low view of your worth suggests you may have some things to work through. Talk to mental health professionals, not just a friend or family member. You owe it to your child and family to be present and a positive influence.

Good luck.
Note for writers: In paragraph 3, Snowden uses the word "premises" but means "premise". These are similar-looking words with very different meanings.

My inner paranoid now wonders if Snowden wrote this, because in my experience this is a mistake most commonly made by ESL writers. It would be interesting to perform stylometry on his history of work to see if there's a break.
Agree 100%. We should be building mega-factories for solar cells, nuclear plants and pumping trillions of dollars into fusion research. Pivoting to renewable energy should be giving the same society wide focus that nation states gave to warfare and the production of weapons during ww2.
People tend to overvalue ideas. I see this all the time in writing where people are worried someone will steal their great idea for a story. The truth of the matter is that it’s unlikely that you’ve come up with something truly new and in any event, ideas tend to breed and multiply. I will never write all the stories and novels that I have jotted down in my notebook before I die and there are more every day.
No, but not for lack of interest. I simply upgraded from 2k res + 2080 Super to 4k res + 3080 at one point in the last year or so, but I had already beat the game by then and haven't returned to it.

Braking is the main reason I love gravel tyres for commuting: their increased size means a larger contact patch which directly translates into a shorter stop (as stopping on skinny tyres with disc brakes is typically traction-limited).

The tyres on my gravel bike look just like fat road tyres: no knobs.
It makes a very broad claim which makes it sound like an extortion racket but doesn't have anything to back it up. I would bet that if it included some evidence it would fare much better. For example, they have a ton of large organizations which are customers. The very first question the average reader is going to have is whether it's really the case that these sites are predominantly attacked by booter services which use Cloudflare for hosting? That seems unlikely and as general rule here the broader the claim the more people are going to expect you to show that you did your homework first.
Hop on LinkedIn and search for job openings mentioning spring-data-r2dbc, or spring + r2dbc.

Edit: r2dbc being reactive is founded firmly in the idea that you won't be getting proxy objects. I'm more of a vert.x fan myself so I haven't used it personally but I see CVs come by my desk with users of it.
While true in itself I find that it is mean to say this to someone who is going through a crisis. Having children is not easy but not super hard either if as a parent you have things in order. However, sometimes without doing anything wrong things go off track. I burned out in the past and while at it , it felt like a place of no return. I now look at it from a place of insight, I learnt to never go down that path again and avoid it at all costs. But I was not expecting a child during the crisis and am aware how this would've made the situation worse.

Things turned out slightly differently for me and could see the OP taking some useful cues from it. When I burned out I eventually quit my job(the sooner the better or an extended vacation with the possibility of returning just for safety). I then took a complete break from anything technology related, in all honesty I was forced to, my focus was all over the place. I walked a lot during those days and tried not to linger in static helplessness but do something minimal but with a purpose. I figured that I wanted to walked our friends dog, as stupid as it sounds it helped. My mind started clearing of negative thoughts after about a month and some hope started creeping in but was still not able to simply jump into another job, that required about 3-4 months. That's when I found out I was going to be a dad and though a bit stressed out some new determination kicked in. And some luck too, someone, an old manager I had moved to a new company and looked for me for a job. I explained I was going to be a dad and in addition to congratulations there was some promise of work-life balance. And it actually worked out, i'm still here now 5 years later.

The takeaway is that time is needed to recover and that this process can be extremely scary but could be eventually overcome by most of us. The reason I did burn out was because I did not have the intuition to quit that job earlier but at the time I did not know what that messy stressful job was about to do to me, now I know.
PG is great. What would we do without him? We want a PG in the arena at all times.

This article doesn't hit the mark. Startup people don't listen, because they're trying to create something new, that nobody else understands (or people who understand are a 'parallel thought threat' like Newton and Liebniz). Counter-intuitivity is in the ballpark, but not quite "it".

Really what an inventor/entrepreneur does is to specialize in a direction or idea no-one else gets or no-one else will understand the way to make it, until it's in MVP or prototype stage. How can that person slam the breaks on the train and start doing rational, sensible things that could extinguish the light of discovery/creation? Not saying that's a good thing, it's what it is.

There's a weird trend online to keep blaming school for poor thinking. It's a cool rhetorical device. Doesn't work for me though. I went to a good school that challenged me to open my mind and is also the basis for faith and way of thinking that gets me to discovery. The patterns I see that others don't, is partially because I hold a tiny candle flame for an older way of thinking that is sorely needed in some spaces.

There's also a quiet truth that there's now two truths. One truth for the established and comfortable, another truth for the man battling for his soul's light. They point mostly in different directions and they don't understand each other so much. It's physically painful to try and synthesize those two truths into one.

More transparency in communication is the way to go. Everyone needs to admit only the old wisdom and knowledge is firm and stable. The more we can admit we don't know what's going on as we go forward, the more we can relate... my probably-wrong 0.02c

You cut out part of my full statement which entirely changes the meaning ;)

Here it is in context:

> So I guess John Carmack is inferior and is not an ultimate craftsman.

I didn't realize that their are statistics on what constitutes a craftsman. But I'm willing to change my mind. I'm very curious what those statistics measure though.

Edit: Not to mention like peteradio pointed out, what does a statistically superior programmer look like and where do those statistics live?
Furthermore, to the degree that someone is making big bucks, they probably also have a wealth of domain and possibly organizational knowledge. Pretty much no one is walking out of a CS degree--which is mostly irrelevant to maintaining generally legacy mainframe systems--plus some COBOL courses and expect to be showered with highly lucrative offers, if indeed someone want to hire them to work on mainframes at all.
I'm not ignoring the context, I'm saying that it's irrelevant. Cloudflare made the choice to block real people based on factors outside of their control, and then to market that product as a panacea; they don't get to pass the buck, doubly so when they don't expose enough information to let other people fix the things they broke.

What I read in JEP 425 is that Loom threads aren't actually preempted by the JVM's user-space scheduler. They can be mapped onto an arbitrary number of OS threads, but if you use an OS thread per core, and one of your virtual threads is CPU-bound, it won't be preempted IIUC.

Snowden is absolutely a hero for what he did to expose US surveillance. It is also right for people to be suspicious of anything he says at the moment given his current situation. There’s no contradiction between the two.

As I wrote elsewhere in the comments on this story, the atrocities of the CIA are sadly well known. There’s nothing new here.

The beginning of Snowden’s post is a surprisingly poor take on Biden’s recent speech, reposting the same zoomed-in image with the red background, ignoring the additional context[0][1] and comparing the presentation to the Nazis. Although he does call it “unintentional”, he still chooses to amplify the same take as the American right-wing even though it’s been a while since the speech and people have mostly moved on. Snowden also does little to actually address the content of what Biden said regarding new and immediate threats to the US, choosing instead to focus on existing problems with the CIA which, while terrible, are not new and not unknown. He claims this is “consideration of [Biden’s] premises” but I think that’s a stretch to say the least.

In short, I think people are right to be critical of this essay and suspicious of Snowden’s motives in this specific case, without taking anything away from his previous actions.

This is the best platform for quantitative trading I have seen in my 16 year career as a quant. It is an end-to-end platform with data, backtesting and production i.e. live trading capability all in one. Topped up with a seriously active community sharing rich resources and ideas for algorithm development which accelerates the learning curve for both beginners and experts alike. Never have I seen a vision so balanced and pure to develop a product that not only helps aspiring quants but quant hedge funds to immediately hit the road running in developing their strategies using the platform with an affordable and very pleasant user experience. I am launching a quant hedge fund using QuantConnect and I have Jared, the founder and his team to thank as they have done an astounding job. It is with sincere gratitude that I post this comment and I hope QuantConnect becomes the future of the entire Global Quant community!
Fair enough. Though, the first question is - why does the component do so many things? Do they all need to be in a single component or can you break them apart?

For the cases when this is not possible, I agree, useEffect works better than classes lifecycle methods. But do you really want a system which caters to a small percent of use-cases at the expense of readability in others? And the improvement, to my eyes, is not that big anyway.

The hooks are my main gripe with React, but as the OP, I don't see a better alternative either - at least not one that would be worth a rewrite.

Quantum computing will revolutionize some areas. I doubt that it will revolutionize computer science as a whole. I think that there are many more categories of problems that it won't change than categories that it will.
chess.com disagrees, and says the Niemann's cheating is greater in both the amount and seriousness of cheating that has occured.

https://twitter.com/chesscom/status/1568010971616100352

>"Dear Chess Community,

>The last few days have been tumultuous for many in the chess community. At this time we have reached out to Hans Niemann to explain our decision to privately remove him from chess.com and our events. We have shared detailed evidence with him concerning our decision, including information that contradicts his statements regarding the amount and seriousness of his cheating on Chess.com. We have invited Hans to provide an explanation and response with the hope of finding a resolution where Hans can again participate on Chess.com. We want nothing more than to see the best chess players in the world succeed in the greatest events. We will always act to protect the integrity of the game that we all love."

Hans Niemann is not being honest.
I'd hazard an inability to imagine oneself as "not the main character", to recognize that a majority likely have other priorities, causes a sizable share of debates on HN.

It's the opening question in PG's essay linked today.
>Step 1 might be for "web3" proponents to stop publishing visions of the future that sound like grim dystopias. When you have game company executives mocking the idea of "play to have fun" and NFT owners pushing for browser extensions that would make copy/paste illegal without permission from the blockchain

Is this an accurate depiction of "web3 proponents" in general or just a case of nutpicking[1]? I've heard of something vaguely similar to the first claim, but I can't remember whether it actually involved NFTs or was standard games-as-a-service rhetoric. For the second claim I heard something adjacent (eg. copy pasters), but I can't tell whether they're representative of the community or extremism/satire, and haven't heard of the specific proposal of browser DRM.

There are additional risks associated with shorting stocks, for example:

- When you buy a stock normally you can basically hold it indefinitely even when the price tanks. When you short a stock and it goes up, at some point your broker will have to force you to recall your position and you'll have to realize your losses

- When you buy a stock normally the maximum amount you can lose is the original investment amount. When shorting a stock, before a forced recall, in theory the downside is unlimited (and the upside is limited).

- stonks go up (in markets that are generally doing fine), so in general it's not a good idea to keep a short position on markets (unless you believe the country in question is trending towards destruction). A recession may come but stocks don't necessarily have to reflect the actual economic conditions in the short term.

In general, I'd say use it sparingly. Probably not a sound "investing strategy" but more of a short to mid term speculation tool, or a tool for hedging long positions.
Oh ffs another site using my location instead of my goddamn accept language header to serve content

Yeah. For example, the Meilisearch search engine recommends submitting idempotent searches over POST and not GET due to this: https://docs.meilisearch.com/reference/api/search.html

IMO AMD and Nvidia have abandoned the sub-$200/budget GPU market, Intel can certainly carve out a price/performance niche here.
To quote someone I met thru-hiking: "Food is lighter once you eat it."

Or in other words, subjectively, weight on your body doesn't cost as much as weight you're hauling whether on your back or on your bike.

Nope, I can't explain it either, but I've got over 3000 miles hiking/backpacking and it holds true. Can't measure it, didn't try, but I can assure you that feeling worn down is roughly equivalent to being worn down. Getting a pound of weight off your back and into your belly (or the reverse when you fill up with water) is noticeable.
Cameras on busses were bad enough. This is pretty much intolerable. I guess bus riding is out.
Yes! First, if you haven't spent much time on gravel, you will be more confident and sure-footed on the MTB. Second, you will have a much more comfortable ride. As others have said, it will be a bit more effort, but the improved confidence will probably do more for your overall speed than a skinny tire.

I would however lock out the rear suspension, and probably the front too. The high volume tires at the right pressure will likely provide all the suspension you need for gravel and your pedaling will be more efficient.

As far as being mercilessly mocked, that reminds me of an old adage. We spend our youth worrying about what other people think. In middle age we decide we don't care what other people think. As we get older, we finally realize no one was thinking about us.
I feel like nobody goes to look at changelogs, or PRs, or commits. Probably because they don't ever expect anything good from it. Also they're not really searchable.
Some bad laws aren't overturned
Decisions around nuclear power and vaccines are primarily driven by state regulations for good reasons. When properly designed, self-sovereign web3 communities are not capable of being regulated. Putting these three into the same basket as this article does is confusing. Public perception matters in areas of regulation but does not where regulators cannot exert power. Perhaps the author meant to point towards web3 banking institutions? But from the perspective of decentralization, these organizations such as coinbase are a threat and are also a real danger to the financial system.
You know the previous president said this was a thing he would intentionally do out loud multiple times and got cheered for it:

> "When you get these terrorists," Trump said, "you have to take out their families."

> O’Reilly asked Trump if he meant it when he said that he would "take out" the family members of terrorists. He didn’t believe that Trump would "put out hits on women and children" if he were elected. Trump replied, "I would do pretty severe stuff." The Mesa crowd erupted in applause. "Yeah, baby!" a man near me yelled. I had never previously been to a political event at which people cheered for the murder of women and children.

And then when asked about it being illegal:

> Taking part in the Fox News GOP debate last night, the billionaire was asked about General Michael Hayden saying that the military would refuse to follow illegal orders such as the intentional killing of terrorists’ families.

> Mr Trump said: “They won’t refuse, they’re not going to refuse me — believe me.”

> The entrepreneur elaborated with claims that the wives of the 9/11 terrorists knew what was going to happen and fled to Saudi Arabia just before the attacks.

The common public square is just that - paid for and maintained with public money.

Trump doesn’t seem to have any issue getting his message out or getting people to come to his rallies.

Before the internet existed, the entire civil rights movement was organized by leaders going to churches - even though the locations were actively being bombed, leaders were being arrested, water hosed, lynched, bitten by police dogs, etc.

What's wrong with Harfbuzz?
IMO they still have too many 3xxx cards and don't want to cannibalize sales, hence adding them to the top of the stack instead of replacing the 3080/ti (and renaming their 4070 as 4080 12gb).

The feeling I get from the whole thing is NV doesn't care that much about consumer graphics anymore, and doesn't care about providing competitive value. More of their revenue is coming from business applications, all of which is growing, and gaming looks like its down to 1/3 and shrinking.
>But now that he's under the defacto control of the Russian FSB, I will take what he says with a grain of salt. Especially something like this, which is an opinion piece with no new information attached.

Unnecessary. American and Russia do not have an extradition treaty. There are Russians here that Russia would like extradited (if you weren't aware of this you need to expand your news sources) and there are Americans in Russia that America would like extradited (Snowden obviously). But they don't trade. Why? American doesn't want Snowden badly enough to give up anyone Russia wants. So the reason he's there is America is choosing to keep him there. Russia doesn't have to do anything at all and they get free criticism about America coming from a (in)famous American, again without having to lift a finger. It's win win for Russia. And win win for America, the American government can pretend Russia is evil and harboring a fugitive without having to lift a finger.

The only people losing here are predominantly Snowden, the American people, and arguably the Russian people.
They mean "compute the first pre-image."
Downvotes for a comment like this is really the low-side of Hacker News.

Me: web developer since 1996. I had to look it up. Came here to make the same comment, and see you being lambasted for it.

Don't let these haterz get you down. It's standard practice across ALL domains to define acronyms, and those who give this article a pass because ReASonS!! aren't people I'd willingly choose to work with: anglo-saxons who believe the whole world shares their lived experience, and their mental model.

Hacker news is just horrible for that attitude. Accessibility is a thing.
There can be no long lived instution, let alone an intelligence agency, without sin.

Presenting only the bad things is not how you evaluate one, or its country. Half truths are the best lies. This IS propaganda. And this is Snowden's current position and role.
> Does anyone do server side rendering these days?

Yes, in React, with Next.js.

I'm going to have to dynamically create html and attach event handlers based on data either way. Much rather do it all in Typescript than remember Django templates DSL and still do javascript, for the result of worse UI's, poor 3p library support, and awful state management between frontend and backend.
