Yes, I understood your comment. It's just that since you used the same word as me but with a different meaning, I wanted to make sure there was no misunderstanding.
"Obama's YoY for the final three years are 2.3%, 2.7% and 1.7%"

Yes, but those were brought down by a unlucky quarters in between. If you look at quarter-by-quarter GDP growth from 2012-2020, you'll see Obama had way more quarters above 3%, 4%, even 5% than Trump ever did. Trump came into office promising 4%+ GDP growth, he never achieved it in any quarter.

Let me give you an example: Q1'2014 had a post-xmas slump of -1.4% growth. But Q2'2014, Q3'2014 had 5.2, 4.7, with Q4 hitting 1.8. So yeah, if you average that out, it's ~2.4%, but that's obscurring that there were two blistering quarters.

"Unemployment fell from 10% to 4.7% Employment rate under Trump's presidency has been also growing steadily until covid"

Yes, but the scale of the change from what Obama started with was much larger and deeper hole: a banking crisis. (If you look at IMF/WB studies of historical banking crises from the Great Depression up through Japan's lost decade, over 400 in their study, they're the worst recessions to dig out of, not V shaped at all). If you look at total number of jobs created, it was 10 million in Obama's second term. Trump ended up with -3 million, but if we're fair, and just compare Trump's best 3 years, with Obama's last 3 years, Obama had 3.0, 2.7, and 2.3 million jobs. Trump had 2.2, 2.7, 2.1, or 8 million vs 7 million.

There's no sense in which the Obama economy was "bad" compared with Trump's first 3 years. Except for the fact that they didn't rescue home owners, just the wealthy and business internets, and so a ton of people lost generational wealth, and permanently exited the job market when their only factory or sector rolled up.

Which is one more thing to say about recessions: There are some business sectors that are zombies -- dead men walking. Dying a slow death, everyone can feel it, going through the motions, and it is generally not until there is a recession that these businesses are killed, never to return, often replaced by new sectors or disruptive new tech or business models.

In a way, recessions act as garbage collection, often spurring innovation. The Bush Sr recession lead to one of the greatest economic expansions since 60s.

My point is that the concept of "El Ninos should happen <here>" is specifically a human perspective. As far as the planet and our peers are concerned, it doesn't really matter where such phenomena occur. Nature gonna nature and life gonna life.

Besides that, personally I have no attachment to humanity in particular. Objectively, the planet would be much better off without us around. That's not to say I would go out of my way to not exist; I'm already here, might as well enjoy my time here. But I'm not going to go out of my way to "preserve humanity" or whatever either. Life has persevered without us before we came around, and life will persevere whether we exist or not.

> My laptop isn't powerful enough to support virtual machine.

This seems unlikely. I was using vmware in 2001 or so on a Compaq Armada e500, which wikipedia tells me had a Pentium III 700 Mhz with 64MB of ram.

Use a compact Linux install, don't install X or Wayland, and give it a small amount of memory, and it will be fine on a laptop from the past 10 years, maybe the past 15.
The issue is fairly split. I saw a poll recently: yes and no were split, but "I don't know" took up a large majority.

Depends a lot on the hiring process. And on the cover letter.

For my process, resume spammers are a problem; I want people actually interested in the job. So I'll have some sort of turing test. One way to pass that is to write enough of a job-specific cover letter. Especially valuable to me is a few sentences on why you personally are a match for the specific role.

I think it's also valuable for people whose resume doesn't totally tell the story of why they're the right person. E.g., I recall a cover letter from somebody who had been out of the industry for a few years; it was good that they recognized the issue and had thought about how to overcome it. It's similarly good for people who are changing tracks a bit.

But yeah, I'm sure a lot of places pay little attention to the humans they're hiring, so if you're happy working at a place like that, they're fine to skip.

In theory it is a transport layer protocol like TCP but QUIC seems to mostly be used for specific application layer protocols.

And I have discussions probably every month with people arguing that "it is just TCP" and you have to explain to them that no, there is no way to do SFTP through a WAF or to run a database on that cloud service and so on.
One way I've liked seeing it as a hiring manager is to treat it as one large block ("self-employed" or "contract work") and then list individual projects as paragraphs in the description. That can help you avoid looking like a job-hopper.

Personally my experience is opposite: I've always found success in expanding quickly and throwing up defense towers and later fortresses, thereby draining the enemy's strength when they launch a poorly-considered attack. To me, the game seems strongly favoring defensive strategies, and I'm fascinated to find someone who describes attacking early as key.

I think there's still room for real improvement: once we have afforable displays that cover your entire wall, imagine what something like miro could bring you. Visual collaboration, pen drawings that turn into organizated information, architecture diagrams that can be turned into low-code models and running software, all whilst collaborating with others all over the world in front of their digital display walls.

Last 2 years, the thing i miss most about working in the office, is the ability to collaborate with co-workers in front of a huge whiteboard. The brainstorming, ideation. Miro is nice, but it deserves a huge screen, it needs more interaction with your co-workers, and it needs to help you take your drawings into real value (running software, designs that can be fed into 3d printers, cnc machines, etc).
> - decline of the British Empire

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpohrKaos2o

There's a long but very good interview done with the philosopher Bertrand Russell in the 60's, and a point he makes in it was that in the early 1900's the idea that the British empire and specifically their navy would be supreme forever more was widespread.

And I suppose pre-WW1 they might have had a point - he said the people at the time didn't view "land powers" like the Prussians as being terribly threatening to their global status.

Another takeaway from it, was that he was very particular about how his kids were educated, these days, we mostly give it to abandoning them to cultural groupthink rather than having any critical input into how their taught.
They’re useful in certain situations, for example when your skill/experience set does not completely match the role requirements, but you still want to make a case for yourself. As a person involved in hiring process at a small, but established company, I can say they’re definitely read, when submitted.
The GPL solves very few problems nowadays, because most software isn't distributed anymore. The AGPL solves a specific issue: a company is running an undistributed, modified version of the code, which is accessed by end-users, that gives them a business advantage.

Elasticsearch is a good example of a problem that isn't solved by a different license. Amazon is running essentially unmodified versions of elasticsearch, which competes against the business model of the company building elasticsearch. Even with an AGPL license, elasticsearch (the company) is not going to be making any money.

If a company isn't interested in upstreaming changes, it probably won't help that they're using an AGPL license. If the code isn't user-facing, the license won't force them to make their changes available. Even if it is, often changes a company doesn't want to upstream are very specific to them and aren't useful to others. Even if it's business valuable, and the company makes the changes available, they won't be making it easy to integrate.

The AGPL, more than anything, places a burden on users and developers, and reduces the community size. Most companies don't allow the use of AGPL software, and in the cases they do, they often only allow its use in an unmodified way, or only allow modifications if it isn't user-facing.
Even on top of UDP, it still bypasses TCP-specific infrastructure. It will still be subject to any UDP-specific infrastructure, but that has a significantly smaller scope, at least if you exclude measures that (for better or worse) middleboxes could just as easily apply to traffic using a new top-level protocol.

My default approach is write a cover letter if it comes from the heart (yes, really).

I got all my recent jobs without a cover letter. I didn't feel any connection to the jobs or people knew me already well and wanted to hire me. I never felt like copying 5 paragraphs of bs just to check a box.

The last time I wrote a cover letter I really wanted the position and I really felt that I'm an excellent match for their requirements. It was a forming team, where the technical person was my friend, but the decision was up to a business person higher up. I wanted him to know already before the interview that I'm serious about this position. The interview went well, they both mentioned at a later point my cover letter, and I enjoyed working there.

I have just been through the Google interviews, and all the googler acquaintances told me, "don't bother with the cover letter, either your CV is good enough to get to the technical phone screening or not". One even said that the only reason to write a cover letter "if it makes you feel better", because it will make zero difference throughout the whole process. YMMV.
That’s a neat looking trick, will have to see how well it works in practice. I can’t see it working too well if you need to feed the wire into a through hole.

My trick is to tin the joint and the wire, apply no-clean flux to either the joint or the wire (situation dependent), then bring the two together while reflowing the joint. Quite handy for soldering tight multi-pin connectors.

The real tip is buy flux, it’s just as important as solder.
Ask HN: Are OSS developers responsible for ensuring their code is secure?

This reminds me of the Z-80, which replaced the 8080's 8-bit ALU with a 4-bit unit. Evidently FF recognized that it had no need to produce an answer in one cycle, because it would not be needed so soon, so why waste logic trying?

At the time, a 4MHz Z-80 ran about as fast as a 1MHz 6502, so that suggests opposite ends of that tradeoff range. 6502 had to do all its work in a cycle, but cycles were longer, so there was more time to do it in. Z-80 got half the work done, then the other half, with two more cycles left over for whatever.

This is what AVX2 used to do, too, working on 128 bits at a time. Probably when 3nm comes along, they will make it 512 bits wide if they can't think of and justify any better way use up their area budget allocation.

Don't be fooled. The purpose of mass surveillance has always been coercion. If you can't see how this is going to be abused just give it a bit more thought.

> SIMs were physical for a reason.

Because eSIMs had not been invented yet? You say it like it was a conscious decision…

> You can't just pick up a random unlocked phone and put a sim in it

True, but you will be able pick a random unlocked eSIM-capable phone and transfer your eSIM to it via bluetooth. I believe Apple already announced this feature coming to iPhone, all other vendors will follow. No need to contact SP anymore.

> I have been in situations where I changed SIM between phones multiple times a day.

Can I ask what the use case is? I believe this will continue to be possible with the “transfer eSIM over bluetooth” method I mentioned above.

>It's like people who oppose cash payments out of the convenience of card/app payments.

totally agree on this, laziness or the continued pursuit of convenience is the end of privacy, maybe even democracy.

mailbox.org, posteo.de… there’s lot of email service not requiring a SIM. They even allow you to pay cash via postal service =)

Anyone 1500+ can recognize the natural move--that's what makes it natural.

Probably the easiest case of "natural move but blunder" is anything that is a top 3 engine move when looking 3-5 moves deep, but losing significantly on deeper evaluation.

Also, this sort of categorization is at the heart of how chess puzzle collections are automatically assembled. A good chess puzzle contains an unnatural move that wins--the exact opposite of the natural but blunder. Chess sites scan their online play databases for these all the time, and serve them up as puzzles.
> I think what impacts all people, regardless of age, is much less about the medium and much more about message.

The general subject is remakes of old Disney movies. It's the same story in a new movie, making the message the independent variable.

Beyond that, we'd see vastly more radio programming aimed at kids if that was true. It's several orders of magnitude cheaper to create and distribute. What most people who don't work professionally in the A&E and Visual Arts fields don't realize is how much those visuals affect them. That's why they're so effective. The communicate deeply and viscerally in ways that aren't immediately obvious, but are incredibly powerful. That's why advertisers spend as much money as they do creating commercials with virtually no obvious story arc. We've already got most of the story in our heads and they're just pushing the buttons to activate it in ways that are useful to them.

> I do think there is a message in the medium, though, and that the message is "we think this game/story is important enough to convey properly that we'll invest cutting edge technology to enable the best possible experience". I think each generation actually does in fact experience the same impact when that message is received. They way it is conveyed changes, because the cutting edge changes.

The vast majority of adults don't take that much context into account when consuming media, even if they think they do... let alone children. Grandiosity is obviously a part of the message, but you just can't constrict the effects of visual communication to neatly defined categories like that.

Have you ever been listening to a song or watching video media or playing a game with someone nd they say "oh, this is my favorite part!" ... and you just don't get it? It triggers something in their brain that just doesn't connect with you. The difference between your perception of that media and theirs is the context in which it was processed-- your brain chemistry and all of your lived experiences and mood and pharmaceutical influences and thoughts and dreams and insecurities combined receive that stimuli and generate emotional responses.

> You can tell when media hits that Goldilocks zone
> each cultural niche and personality type has a different Goldilocks zone preference.

You're putting things into buckets that aren't representative of the real world. Everybody can tell when media hits the Goldilocks zone because their own tastes define it. It goes far, far beyond personality types and cultural niches. Baby bear and Papa bear were likely perfectly happy with their porridge and Goldilocks liking Mama Bear's porridge didn't mean shit other than mama bear and goldilocks had narrow but overlapping heat tolerances.
Note - this is not intended as an attack on the poster above. I'm just a bit suspicious about this "guilt / shame" idea.

I feel like this "guilt / shame" distinction is not driven by people who understand psychology very well, or who don't really care about communicating clearly. IIRC it was originally used to describe different cultures and now it's trying to be used to describe "good" guilt/shame and "bad" guilt/shame as two completely different things.

Scientists often avoid using 'normal' words to describe things, because 'normal' people get confused and start pointless arguments over it. As an example of something that causes constant confusion, 'bugs' are insects with sucking mouthparts (I am not a biologist, there's a bit more to it) and anyone who calls a beetle a bug is using unscientific terminology. It just causes a lot of confusion. Technical definitions shouldn't try to hijack ambiguous terms that are in common use unless you just want to sound clever in internet discussions when talking about what words 'really mean', or you want to appropriate existing connotations over the word (e.g. you want to make your definitions a lot more important than they are).

If the people trying to differentiate "guilt" and "shame" understand human nature so well, why would they use terms that are simply going to cause confusion?

I suspect there's a broad range of things that we'd describe as "guilt" or "shame" (and depending on the person it would vary), and these might be good or bad depending on the context. I also think that if we want to use "grown up" definitions that people will understand unambiguously (e.g. anxiety over peer judgement?) then it would pay to just use these, rather than making every discussion over "guilt" and "shame" simply be discussion over what those words "really mean".
Well, my government ID contains a hardware token.

Linux Mint preinstalls a backup solution, Timeshift, which can make a complete system backup (if you also include your home folder) on the same drive. You can then restore the backup from the USB install medium. I have used that a few time already to restore the system to an earlier state. It works like a charm. So, as long as you make a backup before, go ahead, destroy your system :-)
Klobuchar, Cruz strike deal to advance Journalism antitrust bill
Agreed, but to add a little more nuance to it; we live in tech-land, which we would _like_to be separate from mass-adoption-land. The lowest common denominator ruins it increasingly more, the further away (up) you go.

This is why we see things like Gemini popping up. It's an attempt to set the bar at "do you _really_ want in on this, even though it doesn't have pretty flashing pictures and the toktiks?".

I'm not judging either way, but I sure did like it before the web got utility status.
