When I was last there (albeit 6 years ago), following reviews managers determined what your new “total yearly comp” would be. Base pay was pretty low compared to industry, but RSUs were used to make up the difference based on the price on a certain date with a 4-year vesting period, distributed quarterly (16 distributions).

For example, if your total comp required 20k extra per year and the stock price was $100, you’d be granted 800 shares. If the stock price had fallen to $80, you’d be granted 1,000.

We always wanted the stock price to have a temporary low around review season because that would benefit our RSU grant.

Any dollar amount assigned to the grant on the given review date was understood to be based on the current stock price, subject to change, and as a way to communicate total comp. If the stock dropped over the course of the year, there was occasionally corrections, either in base pay or RSUs. This was also complicated by the fact that you could have up to four years of grants stacked on top of one another, all vesting on the same schedule. Obviously, that was taken into total comp calculations, so if you got lucky with a low price and big grant in the past four years, your yearly grant might end up low as a result.
I definitely agree with the sentiment, but I think project maintainers need to see this post more than users do.

I've been a user for a long time (I didn't just turn on a computer for the first time in my life). I see issues with software everywhere and I'm the kind of person that itches to report them so that they can be fixed/improved. The article seems to imply that people like this are rare and people need a push to become like this.

But the reality is that reporting bugs is rarely done because it is often not welcome. UX issues even more so. Developers look down on this as a nuisance rather than a contribution. It sometimes leads to unnecessary debates, even flame wars, that quickly stray from the subject of the actual bug reported. Even when it doesn't, the best case scenario is often that it's just ignored. You post your bug into some issue tracker and it just sits there and nobody cares. It's like talking to the proverbial wall.

If you want the types of contributions listed in this article in your project, you need to welcome them. You need to thank users, you need to act on them, and you need the developers to stay on focus.
> Sorry that comment went nowhere, I'm massively frustrated with C++, its direction, and I can't wait to leave it behind for good.

I fail to see how a "direction" of a language like C++ is of any concern to professional C++ developers. Most of C++ projects are stuck in C++14 or C++11. Projects are only migrated to newer C++ standards if there are very compelling reasons to do so. If a newer standard offers no value, projects simply don't migrated.

Lastly, why do people feel that perpetuating the C++ label is important? Those who pick the right tool for the job don't play favorites.
I like hearing different takes on a subject. People here come from all walks of life and are not all stereotypical basement dweller hackers. You claim that comments don't get that much attention, but they do. Some comments could even be likened to a blogpost, the only difference being you didn't setup a site, and people go here instead to read various takes on a matter. Also you mentioned that HN might go away some day, but I imagine it would be archived and go into read-only mode in that case.
As someone who has been using Anki for the past 4 years to learn Japanese and now Chinese, I've recently found that the initial "learning" step is not that hard. (i.e., given 辞書, I remember "dictionary") What is hard is keeping the content I've learned, _learned_, for more than a day.

So now I'm wondering, is my initial "learning" process wrong? Since definitions are fairly simple and I find them easy to remember at first but hard to hold onto. And my process in Anki for New cards is to rep them like reviewed cards until I pass the card; so really, I'm just staring at the kanji + definition until I remember it.

This brings me to my question: is there more Anki can do when it comes to learning new cards? Is there something we can do when learning new information that will help make it "sticky"? Especially in regards to "simple" facts, like basic kanji -> definition mappings, where there are no mechanics to understand, just simple mappings.

Edit (an addition):

Also, I love SRS, but I don't understand how it can be advertised as completely different than rote memorization. When you learn a new physical flashcard, you're learning it the same way as you would be when learning a new Anki card. The only difference is that Anki will show it to you again at a more efficient time in the future, rather than at some regular interval.
Ha ha, I suspect the little bit of flex in the Lego plastic, other imperfections adds a "humanization" to the drum pattern that is output.

It was funny after electronic drums started to gain steam that software sequencers started adding a "humanization" attribute to take the robotic perfection out of drum sequences. Sort of the opposite of auto-tune.
Think it's part of the equality/blank-slate myth that everyone is the same and has the same potential and natural abilities.
> Firstly, in terms of the distinction between learning and knowing -- the thing that matters most is the strength of the encoding in the brain.

I'd vote for the ability to perform a skilful epistemic analysis of the retrieved information being more useful. I prefer this because it can overcome any natural immutable shortcomings in the underlying process.

This just smacks of wanting to treat people like shit. Given the tone of some of your other comments in this thread that actually makes perfect sense.

If you want people to "stick through...the bad and the ugly" compensate them accordingly and perhaps most importantly make sure their salary keeps pace with the market as a whole instead of the typical 2-3% raises most people see every year. But even that won't keep the best people, because the best people don't have to tolerate assholes at their job, they can just go get a better one.
Um, if we were in the Euro, there would be no pound to euro rate to compare it with after Brexit! Think you may have misunderstood what was being said.
I'm actually more familiar with the reverse mistake, when people say someone "did a full 360" to mean they have changed their mind/approach.

I suppose the confusion there is with the association of "full 360" with "comprehensive" (as in looking all around, without any blind spots), which is valid.
Only needing one means you have the "lowest common denominator" of 2FA. E.g. authenticator apps are vulnerable to phishing, while FIDO keys are not. Adding FIDO key as an optional second factor doesn't really add much security if people can still be phished using a MITM attack using the authenticator TOTP.

> I'm saying it doesn't make sense that the authors and the publishers don't get any money after the book was bought once and then it can be borrowed an infinite number of times.

Why not? That's how everything else works, at least in the US. e.g. my local hardware store will rent to you a variety of tools (which they also sell) or even trucks. They don't need to compensate the manufacturer for each rental; they just buy it like anyone else would. Even Netflix got their start buying DVDs and mailing them to customers to rent. As far as I know they have no requirement to pay ongoing fees or establish a licensing deal to do that (and apparently they have better selection for dvd rentals because of that).

Absolutely. The problem is when you have a lot of time-consuming steps and you only want to re-run the failed one with a slight change and then continue where it left off. Make can do that of course, but you need to make Make do it, and save/restore a workspace/artifacts. I haven't done that in GHA and GHA has lacked a lot of core ci/cd functionality for a long time, so I don't know if it's possible in GHA.

What? This thread is full of weird statements, but this one is among the weirdest. In what way is a radian a half-turn?
The phrase "zero-cost abstraction" is a lie anyway. It's all relative to how much compiler optimization happens. If you actually executed the C++ specification step by step, the code would be dog slow, because there are so many implicit conversions, constructions, inlining, constant folding, etc. We could quibble about how much static resolution qualifies (template expansion, overload resolution, etc--that's executing an inflated in-memory IR, and not the original source code.) Not to mention that all the rest of the compiler backend is working hard to get good machine code, and cannot possibly produce "optimal" machine code, so there is an unmeasurable cost just because of the limitations of any one particular compiler backend. (And those things matter, too!)
The parent comment is viewing productivity as dynamic and time varying.

i.e. Productivity may increase in the short term, but may decrease in the long term due to some tooling shortfall.

Whether or not that matters is dependent on a company’s goals and funding strategy.
Unfortunately, it only supports running single jobs. More complex tasks that requires dependencies, variables, job creation context (MR, Trigger, Web, etc.) can't be tested.
I think there's a matter of scale.

I won't hire someone who has been at 5 companies in the last 3 years, for example, unless they were explicitly a contractor.

But if you're jumping every 18-24 months, that's expected in your early career. When people are talking about job hopping today, it is contextual to that.

Managers should look at a longer average stay, though there is no shame in leaving a bad situation early or staying in a great situation. (I actually don't yet know what the right timing is for a manager role, honestly, though I'd assume 24-36 months from what I've seen.)
"We" is remarkable in that it describes lots of failure modes of the Bolshevik revolution before they happened.
The justification usually given for AGPL is to prevent other companies from running paid SaaS without sharing their modifications. The actual terms is that any user who interacts with the software over the network must be able to download the sources. It doesn't say anything about whether the service is paid or free.

I think the argument of FOSS people who don't like it would be something like, as a user, just running the software on my machine can potentially create a legal obligation to set up source distribution, if, like, I forgot to block a port.
In math people apply formulas they don't understand to numbers that they don't understand to get answers they don't understand.

FWIW, i dont like the ambiguity of what is "configuration" and what is "code". I feel its a bit unclear.

I also think its a bit problematic taken in the absolute, sometimes you have security patches you want to deploy and test out for a week before making the issue public, or perhaps emergency patches for sudden (downtime causing) issues.

> eg. good teaching is not giving the final answers to learner, which should seem faster, but letting the learner arrive at their answers

Why is that "good" teaching? ---> Its because if they arrive at the answer themselves then both the answer & the process for figuring it out will be more ingrained in their long-term memory!

> Instead, learning the content rapidly (meanwhile forgetting a lot of the content), getting a whole picture, and gradually gain more understanding repeating the process using different textbooks/courses, is a much more faster way of learning.

I agree to an extent. It's inefficient to try and remember everything beyond a point. But spaced repetition is very efficient e.g. with Save All it might only take you 5 minutes to remember something for 10 years... so it is much more efficient than you think to try and remember more things.
Physicists Rewrite a Quantum Rule That Clashes with Our Universe
I remember being amused by this same observation when my own country decided to reduce mandatory education from k+12 to k+10 (cutting two years of high-school). They immediately began re-arranging the curriculum in high-school, for example to move organic chemistry from 11th grade to 10th grade, on the basis that it's important for students who only finish the mandatory 10th grade to know some organic chemistry as well, instead of the old curriculum which would have only taught them inorganic chemistry after 10th grade (this has the bonus of making the chemistry curriculum inorganic I -> organic I -> inorganic II -> organic II, for maximum confusion).

To me, even though I was barely out of high-school at the time, this was obviously absurd - expecting especially someone who wants to drop out of high-school early to retain any notion of organic chemistry taught in a school year, that they couldn't learn on the job if it was really required, seems so obviously nonsense that I couldn't help but laugh. Especially since the same thing was done to basically every other subject as well, with the same intentions.

One note: in my country, the curriculum is completely centralized; there is some small amount of choice, but it amounts to, at most, 1-2 classes per semester; everything else is fixed.
Musumi is great too, they're cool because they have a lot of semi custom parts like plates with holes in them where you can spec the hole locations, rotary shafts with custom lengths and end finishing, etc.

Do you have a source for this claim? I heard this argument before from an acquaintance and it completely contradicts my reading of the situation in April.
The spacing effect can also be applied to solving problems, like "distributed practice" as opposed to "massed practice" with calculus homework [0].

> you transmit 5 characters of the SHA1 hash of the email address

You don't use email addresses at all with Pwned Passwords. The documentation says "first 5 characters of a SHA-1 password hash", not email-address hash.

HIBP does not have a way to search for which password hashes are associated with a given email address, as this would be far more useful to attackers than to victims. The only data that Pwned Passwords exposes is a list of password hashes and the number of times that hash was used. The expectation is that even if that leaked password was actually for someone else's account, you still shouldn't be using it.

I don't understand your comment. What I meant is that we can use the numeric values of radians without ever writing the radians unit, it is indeed dimensionless (it is length / length = 1, no unit)
Ah I understand that sentiment. One time I had the luck of getting to the lobby and experienced less lag than usual, only to be stuck in a similar way. Ended up having to dig through posts to figure out how to find shops, purchase from them, get my ship, how to start the ship, and take off.

Ngl, it was enjoyable when it worked, but I'm also the type who likes to aimlessly explore. Found myself heading to a random space station and then to a random planet and that was fun enough for me... until I got booted after walking around the planet for a few moments. Didn't know you have to rest at a location to have it count as a checkpoint, and upon reloading the game ended up starting back where I first spawned in the beginning of the game... only to find no elevator yet again...

Heads up though, when you get to a lobby there's usually a location nearby with screen panels or kiosks, and they usually have a yellow UI (forget if the UI is visible prior to interacting with the screen). You can use those to call your ship to a hangar

Encanto is a very bad movie. The plot is weak, it is weirdly monarchist, the third act is a complete mess.

Like many people you fell in love with some aspects of the presentation and music, but the film doesn't hold up and that's why it's going to be a sad, forgotten entry in Disney history.

If you rewatch Encanto and think about royalty, think about Ferdinand Marcos, think about how poor everybody else in this town is and how they jumped to rebuild the house of the richest, most privileged people, you may find you like the movie less.

If you look again at Bruno's strange arc and how weak his predictions are, how little justification there is for exiling him, you might see that every plot development happens because it's time for a plot development now.

Encanto was written backwards, reverse-engineered from successful stories. It is not art. It is garbage imitating art with a thick layer of lyrical frosting on top.

Coco will live forever because it's well-written and means something. Encanto is a direct-to-DVD level production.

I used to work for an auto supplier and saw the McMaster site and catalog nearly every day. The thing that was always fascinating about their site was they basically translated their Catalog 1:1 to the web and added some interactivity to it. It's similar to what IKEA did with the early versions of its website. As a result, McMaster's site is hyper-focused on presenting information in the densest and cleanest way possible because it's using techniques from print. It's not trying to upsell or advertise or offer support or this or that. It's pretty much the gold standard catalog-to-site port and one of the best ecommerce experiences out there.

That said, the way they've done things won't work for many ecommerce platforms. They're established, they have a massive catalog of highly-customizable parts, they sell in bulk, and they're (mostly) B2B. Those factors really lend themselves well to a simple, catalog-like experience. A new name selling to customers that only has 15 products isn't likely to benefit as much, although there are still things they could likely learn.
It's because the US is raising interest rates to combat inflation. This is attracting capital as it seeks higher rates, and pushing down the exchange rates with USD across the board.
that's not right. in my understanding the intention of the AGPL is to share code with users of a program, even if the users didn't get a copy of the program.

therefore the AGPL shouldn't force you to share code if the program runs on a server. but it should force you to share code if the program can be accessed by a user.

this may even apply to running something like a kiosk device where users interact with a program on a device they don't own.
