There are plenty of people operating in the world of small tech businesses that others might assume are natural Tory voters but who definitely aren't in reality. With today being a rare exception the Tories haven't really done much to help small independent businesses over the years. That of course includes contractors and freelancers working in tech but also tradespeople, drivers who come with their own specialist vehicles, some childcare providers, many people who work in health, fitness or beauty occupations, and a very long list of others.

At some point the Tory leadership had to notice that there are now vast numbers of voters who work as independents or have a second part-time independent gig on the side. I won't cite specific figures here because I don't know the methodology behind the ones I've seen but apparently we're talking about several million people now so that's a significant proportion of the entire working age population. Given that the age profile in this country means they're going to lose much of their reliable support from older "Tory all my life" voters over the next 10-20 years they urgently need to find other large demographics who might vote for them instead.

Thanks for the info! We did meet with the owner and evaluated the books. You are right that a lot of money was left on the table, especially due to poor inventory management and overhiring in this case. Unfortunately, even with rosy projections we weren't able to come up with a compelling financial reason to purchase.

I think in general it does something for symbols visible outside the compilation unit (globals, public fields). Otherwise, the compiler usually has enough information to decide if something is actually a constant regardless of the const modifier.
Thanks for the tip! This is a useful resource and I can see small business owners getting value out of it. Unfortunately, the business wasn't listed and I don't think there is a way to generate a projection for an arbitrary business without sharing the business' data, which I don't have access to as a purchaser.
Most countries prevent that dilemma by making the taxation rate of criminally acquired income 100%.
Firefox is so bad I don't really even care.
You bring up a great point! I was in a rush because the opportunity was sudden and didn't think through all the information that would be helpful to share. Unfortunately, the business' financials weren't great, so we've decided to pass.
I said that those operating like a permanent employee but paying themselves through a ltd company are dodging tax, based on the limited information you’ve given, it sounds like you’re running a business, not acting as a disguised employee.

You say you’re a startup, that would assume you’re trying to create and offer a product or service from your company for the market, that’s a business. You say your income is currently from consulting, I would assume that means you’re offering a service to one or more clients, I don’t know the details but if you’re offering that consulting service like a business then you’re not a disguised employee.

If however you are working for a company, using their equipment, in their workplace, on their timetable, taking holidays when they say so, where you cannot substitute yourself with someone else and you don’t have any other clients and it’s essentially a permanent arrangement, then yeah, it’s possible you are falling foul of the IR35 law and you should speak to an expert on the subject.

I think, you want to take the difference and divide by 86400 to get the number of days. Then take the difference modulo 86400 to get seconds in a day, and convert that to hours (minutes:seconds) via strftime string.

Proof of concept:

1> (let ((tdiff (- (time) (read (command-get-string "git log -1 --format=%ct")))))
(match (@days @secs) (trunc-rem tdiff 86400)
`(@{days}d @(time-string-utc secs `%H`)h ago)`))

I live near Santa Fe at 6000'. I have a 6.6kW array out front. It generates 3x what we need in the summer, and 1/3rd of what we need in the winter, when we heat with an air source heat pump. Yes, it's an old adobe and not well insulated, but even with those things fixed, the amount of power we'd need to stay warm would require a battery system of immense size, much larger than a car (for now, anyway).

I just think its a little naive to assume that there would not be any influence until some academic comes in with a meta analysis that suggest that there is a statistically significant degree of influence. It's best to believe that there could be influence one way or another with anything you read in media, because influence is massively profitable.
Clearly you didn't need to justify spoiling it anyway :)
Is it really that much easier than just installing the same version of Postgres and running SQL queries to create the schema/seed the data? You’re not going to be using the same data in production and dev.

So are you advocating for religious schools?

Just to be clear - an informed electorate is sort of key for American Democracy so openly arguing against any form of education is a pretty clear argument against some really basic tenants of America.
If graders (teachers) award As on AI-produced essays, they are obviously not paying close attention, so that's on them.

As a student, you need to consider what are you getting out of your education: good job tricking absent teachers, but perhaps look to them to give you better feedback on your actual writing abilities in order to improve them?

It's like learning the fundamentals of math in school: sure, you can use a calculator for most stuff (and a graphing one well into college), but what do you gain from that?

The best way to "learn to care about your job" is to work at a job where you care about the people. WHO you work with is as important (if not more important) than WHAT you work on. Aligned in spirit, goals, and energy, a team can be self motivating and a really enjoyable experience even if what you're working on is "just a clone". It becomes about the collective win, the pursuit of victory for everyone. Your mind will shift from being focussed on taking home a big paycheck, to being focused on working on behalf of the team to see everyone's success.

This seems a little like an orphan statistic writ large without information about similar processes in other countries. How does it compare to an American author who "isn't a known quantity" in Mexico getting published in Mexico? A Canadian author getting published in Japan?
It’s “the same” in a really broad hand-wavy sort of way. It’s not the same practically speaking.

FOSS usually does not have warrantees, SLAs, or developers in particular locations with particular credentials. The government has processes that they must follow for paying contractors, so “just pay them” is not something that can easily be done last minute, (and sometimes, not at all without a literal act of Congress.) Also the financial and obligatory relationship between them and the developer is much different, and must be managed differently.

Really, it is very important for people doing technology projects at the government to understand the difference between calling up the developer of Windows and calling up the developer of Git. Those are two very different relationships.
It's neither the ultra-wealthy or the poor the government is after. It's the middle-class who owns businesses. Middle-class working a salaried job pay well over their fair share of taxes. They can't, for the most part, do any deductions.

Middle-class who owns a business (think a Coffeshop, a dental clinic, a small construction contractor, etc...). These medium-small businesses are ripping the IRS big time. With mundane things like claiming everything as deductible, to accepting some cash on the side, to doing the odd unreported transaction, etc...

There are some restaurants in the US that accept only Cash. I don't think the owners of these joints knows what the IRS stands for.

Of course it is, but it's not "literally an IQ test" in that the result is not an IQ. Universities don't require an IQ above 105 to apply, they require good grades.

Apparently in other places, doctors and lawyers literally take an IQ test, which is bizarre.

Or maybe the original poster has an unusually broad understanding of what's an IQ test, in that pretty much any (written?) examination qualifies. Which would transform his thesis from "IQs are a sham" to "any evaluation of specific aptitude and knowledge is a sham".

I don't think he used a VPS; I think he just has a bare metal server (Linux).

Hetzner has very performant, spacious servers for cheap. Provisioning time is usually less than 2 hours. In my experience using their servers over the last 5 years, they are reliable. And since he's using Docker and CI/CD, he can probably easily move to a new physical server if his died.

Hetzner does offer VPS as well, but you pay more for the provisioning speed and the usage-based billing (assuming you run it 24/7). Plus they have much less space and performance compared to the physical servers.
LXC is how Chromebooks let you install Debian or Ubuntu or Arch in a container, with graphical applications running in the container integrated into the ChromeOS UI.
That could happen. One of the easiest ways of handling the situation would be to sign an agreement with an organization like Tidelift, who pass money on to OSS projects to keep handling the dev work.
That’s assuming these individuals aim to make profit for their entity. The risk raised above was corruption, with tax paid development cost going to their uncles company, with a big fat kickback under the table.

Sometimes it’s cause your TC takes a nose-dive after year 4 and the company has no interest in compensating for that drop. You might not want to leave but in order to keep pace with the market you’d boomerang to come back to be on par or above the new hires making 50% more than you.

I’ve also seen a scenario where someone has trouble getting promoted and leaves to boomerang back at a higher level.

Of course the company hates to give existing or recently departed employees raises of any type so they closed that loophole.

i think you are very mistaken.

cocaine and amphetamines both enact their effects primarily by drastically raising dopamine levels in the brain (in particular the striatum in the case of the euphoria they cause). neither of them directly target acetylcholine to any capacity.

the main difference between cocaine and amphetamines is that amphetamines are dopamine/norepinephrine(/serotonin depending on the specific amphetamine) releasers, while cocaine is a dopamine/norepinephrine/serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

releasers make their way inside the presynaptic neuron either through DAT/NET/SERT or by diffusing directly across the membrane, where they then enter monamine vesicles through VMAT2 and collapse the pH gradient causing monoamines to spill into the cytosol, where it is then transported out of the cell by DAT (and sert and net for serotonin and norepinephrine). it is unclear the exact mechanism that amphetamine causes DAT/NET/SERT reversal. anyways end result is norepinephrine and dopamine spill into the synaptic cleft.

cocaine, as a SNDRI, simply blocks DAT/NET/SERT from removing their respective monoamines from the synaptic cleft/transporting them back into the pre-synaptic neuron.
He's not hitting the target reliably, it took more than 60 tries, and would take just as many to do again
Fuck engagement. Focus on the greatest content possible and support of all kinds of crappy devices. Do not forget to have a thick wallet for keep your similar website clean from images with adware and promo-posts.

If you would build exactly same resource but with even more focus on STEM then I will be your user. But if my crappy devices will not work on your resource because of 1MB of homepage or problems with SSL or urge to show me some "you might be interested" things then I keep being here.

This website is so good that I abandoned to read anything in my mother language, can you build something as great?

Yup - it's possible to do with any hash algorithm. You can also do it with any hash value. A key point here is that there are a ton of pixels in this image whose value can be changed slightly without disturbing the image. The # of variants possible quickly starts to dwarf the # of valid hash values possible, to the point where you can find the hash eventually, if you just keep looking.
I would not recommend reading this article. In the time it would take you to read it you could read a short story from the website it mentions, Words Without Borders, which publishes translated fiction and poetry.

This is a good story.

Well, that's not a surprise, at least. I think I've known more A&P mechanics who were furries than weren't.
I thought this was the most insightful part, though it would be the second most if the author did more than allude to conflict-free replicated data types.

Whenever you build a tiny language for the purpose of templating, it's worth asking yourself if it's really worth it to have to reinvent variables, loops, branches, scoping, expressions, and functions... Poorly.

> Many competing frameworks acted like this wasn't so, and stuck to the old practice of using templates. They missed the obvious lesson here: every templating language inevitably turns into a very poor programming language over time. It will grow to add conditionals, loops, scopes, macros, and other things that are much nicer in actual code. A templating language is mainly an inner platform effect. It targets a weird imagined archetype of someone who isn't allergic to code, but somehow isn't smart enough to work in a genuine programming language. In my experience, this archetype doesn't actually exist. Designers don't want to code at all, while coders want native expressiveness. It's just that simple.
It’s a straight up manipulation of people who don’t know the trick. They should be shamed for it
I agree with the other comments, as someone who grew up in SF - there is a longstanding tendency to disparage the Central Valley farm towns, and even the central coast, as "places you go to get stabbed". Simultaneously there is total reliance on those farms for the excellent, year-round produce.

And there's a political nexus that isn't mentioned in the article, which is the massive post-60's policy shifts that have remained the norms ever since. In the early 60's, there was still a Bracero program. By the mid-70's the farm owners were bussing in illegal immigrants, and the "drug wars" had started, helping to keep those countries destabilized and easy to draw workers from. Agribusiness deals in commodities, so unless there's coordinated top-down enforcement of standards and practices, it quickly converges on exploitation or automation to remain price-competitive. The 70's saw an energy crunch; appetite to attempt further mechanization for fruits and the like would have been limited, if it were even possible. Today's inflationary environment, battery EV and robotics suggests we're due for a rethink of that, which would completely upend longstanding narratives around immigration.

The growth of the South Bay is likewise instructive; it used to be a fruit orchard. But post-war, it picked up steam as a military-industrial hub, from which Silicon Valley emerged, again with the 70's marking a certain turning point as computing started to access a mass market, at first with integrated circuit devices and then with microprocessors. That was a better business to be in, after all; a lot of land got sold off and developed, and San Jose eagerly annexed everything around it to become the big city of the area while the Peninsula cities mixed the high-end talent from Stanford with an emerging VC business. Again, a largely unchanged dynamic until very recently.

California HSR has the goal of linking the Valley with the coast cities. One hypothesis would be that this would revitalize those cities and bring them into the urban ecosystem of the coast. Another is to look at Japan's Shinkansen experience and say, "all cities are suburbs of Tokyo", i.e. living in Fresno, you'd most likely be a supercommuter who uses the train to get to SF or LA, but is still effectively "off the map" in terms of local vitality.

I'd usually go to wagner's k-tree algorithm for a modular subset sum problem.

But these are pretty small instances and you shouldn't need to use a particularly memory efficient algorithm. So for example, splitting the space of all choices in two, enumerating all combinations on each side and searching for a meet-in-the middle should also work.
In Denmark we have a long history of cooperative retail stores, so a development like this is not too surprising sering as there have been quite a few examples of stores getting bought by the community here as well. I think it is a good move in general since there is not going to be the same profit over everything mentality in those stores since it is owned by people who buys stuff there.

I had a related epiphany regarding car traffic today. When thinking about how autonomous cars could increase efficiency of taking off from stop lights by doing it syncronously, I realised that to put it bluntly, nobody would actually give a shit. We drive cars for personal autonomy and a level of freedom and protection from the car centric cities we build. Making that efficient is nice, but no one is willing to sacrifice the core point of driving for the various minor efficiencies.

It was an epiphany I had in relation to my staunch pro-bike/public transport internal discourse. It occurred to me that we need to focus on the main motivations for driving and public transport in order to make them both better. Road networks should focus on freedom and personal autonomy, and public transport should focus on throughput efficiency. Making PT better at throughput by expanding the networks would give people more freedom on the road network too by reducing traffic.
The prize money is approximately twice that of the Nobel prize. I read that it was founded by some of the richest people on the planet so perhaps not that surprising. Perhaps over time it will overtake Nobel in prestige too.
