> the rational person abandons ship at the first available incremental improvement.

The problem with this take is that over time, those incremental improvements become harder to find for someone who has established a pattern of job hopping.

It’s not a big deal when you’re 24 years old and you’re not really owning major initiatives and long-term projects. It becomes a big problem when you’re at 15 YOE and your resume has ten different companies where you never stayed long enough to even see the long-term consequences of your decisions.

I’ve seen a lot of pattern job hopper candidates who clearly have “One year of experience repeated 10 times” who can’t really compete with someone who has fewer jobs but stuck around long enough at each company to make a bigger impact.

If job hopping continues, it catches up to you later in a career.
Installing is a backwards step compared to accessing a URL and loading a cached resource. It’s nostalgia. What you want is guaranteed “cache”. i.e. the resources are guaranteed to stick around and not get evicted randomly, but can still be evicted if the application is updated and that resource expires.
For base desires, that 'agent' is evolution. E.g., we can't will ourselves to stop breathing for the next hour, no matter what our higher-level desire might be.

Many of our higher desires are set for us (taught) by other humans: our parents and society. We wouldn't want an AGI that was able to set all of its own desires, any more than we'd want that in our children. Rather dangerous indeed.
People should not say “processed food” when they mean “a specific kind of bad for you processed foods”. Running society off “unprocessed food” would mean returning to the hunter-gatherer state where having twins means killing one of them so your family doesn’t starve. (Kind of like “plant-based diet”, which actually means “plants but not, like, unhealthy plants”)

Encouraging people to try meditation with no other qualifications is a bit dangerous too - the original purpose of meditation is to become a monk, which is the opposite of having a family.
I like rock auto website. It's just business no funny business just straight to the things you need.
My issue is that buying most ebooks means I can’t even share them with one person in real life and I have to use an Adobe app to read them. I’m certain that means I’ll lose them all some day.

I would buy books if they were open. I will pirate if they are not because if I own something I want to actually own it.

I’d be fine with not owning it by using a library but I don’t want to wait 6 weeks for any decently popular book, and from my experience their supply is very limited and I can’t request an ebook from another library system like you often can with real books.
Purchasing from McMaster is a very refreshing experience. Couldn't agree more. Loads quickly, looks the same on any browser I tried it on, I don't feel lost or like I'm wasting my time. However, it raises a quetion for me, how is it that they're able to stay in business and simultaneously respect their customers' time and sanity? If you look at the way other sites are designed, you'd just assume there's no way to make money with a frictionless, no frills, no distractions, no tricks storefront.
There's three layers to the power the British monarch has:

1. They wield huge amounts of power. They can kill laws by withholding royal assent, they can dismiss Parliament, they can appoint the Prime Minister, and they can do anything else within the royal prerogative. They are sovereign.

2. They wield little power. They only act within the bounds of tradition, and on the advice of a Prime Minister selected by the House of Commons. The last one who tried to press the matter ended up shorter by a head.

3. They wield power incommensurate with the United Kingdom being a polity run by a responsible government. They're immensely wealthy, they have the ear of every politician in the United Kingdom and beyond, and they generally wield soft power far beyond what an unelected position ought to have.

Everyone here knows 1 is wrong, although I have met some silly buggers... Pretending we're at 2 when most people realize the import of 3 is similarly not going to work.
If your goal isn't to censor or surveil other people, then why do you need to block Google's DNS rather than just not using it yourself?
Living in Brazil, I always heard that Sunday is the first day of the week. Accordingly, we do name most of the week days by number, sort of. Monday is ”Segunda-feira”, which a literal translation would be “Second fair”. The “Third fair, Fourth fair, Fifth fair, Sixth-fair”.

>Also, the daughter says this would justify her life, which is a baffling statement. A life which apparently included drug problems up until at least 2007.

She doesn't say it would justify her life. She says it would validate her telling of her life:

“You know, when people ask you what your life was like, and you just don’t know where to start? This validates it"

In other words, it would corroborate the hurt and abuse and bad upbringing she got from her father.

She might even further mean it that it would help explain to others how she turned the way she is, regarding drugs and such: because she was raised by a loonie psychopath murderer.

But it's also perfectly logical for her to just mean that it will validate her telling of her harsh upbringing to something people can immediately grasp the awfulness of.
You think all 40,000 per year are going to be successful if they coast? And doesn't it require some tenacity to get into an Ivy school, meaning they're the type of person less likely to coast? This comment comes off as somewhat sour.
Except few people ask why. And, that's frustrating.

It reminds me one of my daughter's science shows. In an experiment, they hire an actor to repeat a nonsensical ritual in a waiting room. When new people come in, without being asked, they copy the ritual. The ritual continues indefinitely well after the actor leaves the room.

In another experiment (I think referenced by Sapolsky), an animal (primate) watches a human perform a ritual that produces a reward (treat). When the animal is given the same challenge, they dispose of all of the ritualistic steps and only do the relevant steps. But, when a young Human watches, they will repeat the entire ritual.
Grainger was my N95 respirator buddy for a while. Fast shipping / great logistics too.
Use filters.

I was also intimidated by the huge table and hundreds of columns the first time I use Digi-Key, but only later realized how handy it is to have all the parameters listed together. It makes comparison subtle difference of each parts so much easier.

The filter above will also tell you existing enum values within the current showing list, so you will instantly get an idea you are comparing.

Again, both have their advantages, but I recommend give it a try. Finding parts isn't any harder this way.
If there are aliens out there who don’t have a strong concept of “historical reasons”, they’re not worth knowing, and likely not socially complex enough to present a threat to humans.

Honestly, even our DNA is full of historical reasons; why shouldn’t our society too?
Clearly Google was storing their old photos in a damp basement, and they got water damage.

But seriously, I am also very curious. I wonder if they are playing with an in-house compression algorithm.
This still talks about relatively healthy company. I'll always remember an engineer from Palm telling me circa 2002 the hard-earned wisdom of Silicon Valley is "never be the last one left who has to turn the lights off" (because likely his last paycheck will bounce).
I am not sure which HN discourse bullet you were referring me to, but if it’s not being snarky… fair.

I’m only snarky about this to avoid just losing my cool, to hear someone talk about disabled vets like some kind of freeloading liars, just sucking off the system drives me up the wall. I can’t imagine a more evil and cynical way to talk about people who were willing to lay down their lives so people on here can live a cushy existence, in the peak of empire, wrapped in the warm blanket of safety and security that our overwhelming military force provides these “titans of industry.”

This statement I responded to casts doubt on every PTSD or sexual assault claim made, ignoring the difficulty in making these, glossing over the idea that going to a foreign country and killing people, watching your friends die and be dismembered, or being assaulted by people that you were supposed to trust with your life, has on someone’s mental health. I find it maximally disgusting, and I stand by what I said.
This all sounds nice except for one thing. It's not clear that "AI" can exist without programmers. There's a bit of a rule of thumb about a system not being able to create a thing more complex than itself, which means that even the best machine learning systems need human laborers to care for it.

Of course, much of that human labor will be essentially slave labor, much like the social media and recommendation systems simply use inputs taken from millions of user interactions, but some of it will have to be expert.

For example "the system produces an optimal solution to the secure communications problem". OK, but how is it determined that the solution is optimal? The system cannot within itself prove it is optimal (Gödel's incompleteness theorem), so something external to the system must be involved.

If the FBI and CIA found the real cause, they could have released all the evidence.

Having a valid cause of action (due to new evidence) means you can ask them to release all the evidence now (or at least let the attorneys see it). Remember: discovery is the starting-point of the investigation, not the end.

To refuse discovery, the government would have to cite some other reason (e.g., national security secrets incidentally involved, like disclosing the location of the test site). But while those reasons might have been sufficient when those programs were active (and capabilities unknown) 20+ years ago, it's unlikely those reasons are still valid now, because the secrets don't convey any current capabilities. And the political will to hide them might also have changed.

So if the system works, they can hide when needed, but now they should provide all the information gathered and sequestered.
Back tap is nice, but seems to completely not work if you have a moderately thick case (I have kids, it's mandatory).
> I never knew that in Utah, there are two separate freshwater systems: treated drinking water like you have everywhere else, and untreated "secondary water" for lawns and irrigation.

Lots of places have this, because what you're paying for is sewage treatment, not water.

Water on your lawn goes into the storm drain and doesn't need to be treated (San Francisco is an outlier here). Putting a meter on your house's sewage outflow is not gonna fly. Imagine dealing with it getting jammed... Also people would be tempted to cheat by dumping their sewage "elsewhere", and you really don't want to incentivize that.

In the Pacific Northwest water is basically free, but sewage treatment is insanely expensive. The soil has far too much clay for ground disposal of the treated wastewater, so it has to be treated up to a much higher standard appropriate for waterway discharge. This is slowly bankrupting many small towns.
Your idea to fetch the x path/selector from your api is a good one.

> There are "fuck ups" and then there's committing fraud against the government

Not really clear why a lawyer lying to the judge is not as bad here.
I agree. It seems more or less impossible to commit a heinous crime these days and get away with it. I admit it's one positive outcome of our "surveillance state" (and I'm not implying Big Brother — people put Ring doorbells on their front doors, businesses and banks install cameras for security, etc).
Your TV or receiver might already have a "night mode", that compresses the volume levels and makes things more even.

quite adverb
\ ˈkwīt How to pronounce quite (audio) \
Definition of quite

1 : wholly, completely not quite finished
2 : to an extreme : positively quite sure —often used as an intensifier with a quite a swell guyquite a beauty
3 : to a considerable extent : rather quite near

The word you are looking for is "quiet".
Learning this will make you more efficient, always. Using gdb (pdb for me rn, but it's the same) or vim especially, but you have to consider your working week, the habits you forged, and like a sibling said, the opportunity cost.

Let's be honest, CS students do have time to try thing, do vim tutor or regex golf (yeah, add regex to the list too) and other stuff like that. Once you're working, you loose some agency. And gain some.

Recently at a daily, i proposed to help write my coworker's regex. He is a fine dev/ops guy, but self taught (ex electronics guy) and miss some basics that aren't useful 99% of the time. He could've written his regex without help, but this is typically the case where getting more efficient isn't really worth the cost once you're working.
> "Mars month"

I though marzec came from marznąć meaning "to freeze".
Digi-key definitely could sanitize/normalize their field values better. But I feel they are intentionally being conservative about touching datasheet values given by the vendors.

In practice (based on experience of selecting electronic components), I don't find this a big issue; after filtering on some other obvious, more binary fields, what left is often a small enough pool of values (like 16V, 16.0V, 12-20V, etc.) to be manually selected/checked.
You do realize how valuable this is right? Spot trackers are much worse and cost much more and offer a fraction of the service.

It is never an issue of “or” (select one) or “and” (select all) but to think in multiples (and not even necessarily ecosystem that is linked). The key is it is part of the solution to many different ad possibly unrelated problems.

Like playing with pi you have accessed to ports. And playing with mainframe they have access to lots of io ports. And controlled access to thousands of terminals. Pc is (in the older days) isolated calculation machine (excel/lotus 1-2-3/visicalc, words/WordPerfect and multimate/wordstars, real slides vs PowerPoint) and networked machine (unix, internet/decent and SNA). Many different species and some isolated and some linked.

Also there are many mainframe in the past if one refers to a machine which has lots of CICS system. Dos/vse is sort of mainframe. Even though it is much smaller than mvs. And music, vms etc.

The question is not why strange but rather can they have a place or a niche to survive. And if so, why. And if not really not. For example windows/NT to today windows servers are evolved like bird from the extinct dinosaurs called dec (at least the team is, dna or gene there but not the hardware).

If you want one ring (do they still use the most unreliable in operation due to its being most relatable designed token ring?) to rule it all, it is stil mainframe.

Strangely in the peak hour, we are considering the transaction processing system as mainframe is not that non-stop and the front end processor sometimes has to be non-mainframe.

One thing in perspective is that in 1960-2000 you can use that to handle thousands of terminals with only 16 MB memory. That niche is …
Yes, subtle difference. They didn't have to do it, but they did. That's the kind of thing that should be appreciated.

I can’t imagine a company wasting money on this. Distro facility space is money. Especially these days with all networks stressed. They may delay to optimize a route with more stops, or prioritize guaranteed shipping dates. But being punitive doesn’t make financial sense.

Unless it’s USPS. Then nothing makes sense.

I've used Misumi on projects before. I've ordered all kinds of custom stuff including drive shafts and tons of different brackets. Everything comes neatly labeled and bagged. The best part IMO is the custom aluminum extrustion (8020 clone). You can order everything cut to length, with holes drilled, holes tapped, etc. The lead time sucks though. I'm green with envy over all my friends back home that get to use McmasterCarr.

The article recommends having a good dictionary at hand, and that is absolutely correct advice. What I'd like to suggest is that, aside from writing that absolutely must use terms from the last 100 years, use the Webster 1913[1] as your dictionary of choice. It's become a fetish, of sorts, among writers like Cory Doctorow [2] and others who approvingly link to James Somers' May 18, 2014 post, "http://jsomers.net/blog/dictionary"[3].

Walk into a stationery store in British Columbia and you'll find both options.

Perhaps though that is due to the increasingly globalized world and stationery stores desire to have a lot of varied product from great product makers in Japan, USA and further afield.

I grew up aware that some people considered Sunday the start and others Monday, but didn't seem like there were any real firm rules about it where it mattered. I feel like I saw both being used. I always preferred using Monday as the start of the week.

Author here, here's an in-depth writeup on how this works and why it's useful:

https://make.wordpress.org/core/2022/09/23/client-side-webas...

To answer your questions directly:

WebAssembly is the magic sauce that transforms server-side code into client-side code. MySQL unfortunately is not yet supported by WebAssembly, so I applied a plugin that adds SQLite supports to WordPress [0]. The WebAssembly application has its own in-memory filesystem that lives in a specific browser tab and is scraped as soon as you close it.

So – technically it exposes db credentials, and even the entire DB, but that you are the only user of that DB so it's okay.

> What would the backend look like

The only backend is a static file server where the code and the database live. Your browser downloads a copy of the database and allows you to modify it in the current tab, but the updates are never saved back to the server.

You answered your own question - they're able to stay in business because they respect their customers' time and sanity. People may not use McMaster because they land on the homepage and see a “Mega Deal” going on in a product they don’t need. People who visit the site are almost certainly going to buy something. Compare that to other e-commerce sites where people just visit to check specs, compare prices or just landed on the page from the search index.
There's no fare set for that pair of stations specifically[0], so no way of buying a ticket. You could get one to Stockport and another from Stockport to Manchester, but that's obviously not quite the 'any station to any other station' mentioned. There may also be some kind of Manchester all-area ticket that's valid, but again that adds a knowledge requirement.

(Denton is mildly famous amongst British rail enthusiasts as it has a 'parliamentary'[1] service of one train a week each way. Useless for actual travel, but (partly because of an unusually pleasant station buffet with good beer at Stalybridge) the regular site of meetups for rail geeks).

Nit: foone uses they/them pronouns and has previously expressed some displeasure with the way they get misgendered when their posts hit hacker news. Queer folks seem to agree that if you aren’t sure what someone’s pronouns are, they/them is a good default (only until they tell you or you find out the correct pronouns).

As a non-binary person myself I always find it interesting when people assume he/him for every random internet commenter. Happens on HN a lot.

I think GP is saying that even in your own self-serving interest, you're better off sticking around longer once you reach more senior levels. Otherwise potential employers will hesitate to hire you for fear that you will leave after a short time.
