More opportunistic.

The companies had similar full time roles posted they were trying to hire for and but were willing to adapt hire me part time after discussing what I felt I could bring to the table.
Yes in the sense that I plug in my external hard drive to the new computer and point the new computer's TV app library to the existing library on the external HD. Then it will prompt for authentication the first time I try to play something. After that the movies will play.
Sure, here is your Lego set.

I plugged my dumb washing machine, dishwasher and tumble dryer into some zwave plugs which can report on energy draw. Hooked it up to Home Assistant, which is hooked up to Alexa. Now whenever any of my dumb washing machine, dishwasher or tumble dryer finish a run, it announces through my echo dot that it has finished. This is pretty useful to us as the washing machine and tumble dryer are in the garage, and the dishwasher finished beep is pretty quiet.

>So I think all this talk of a recession is just a bunch of reporters trying to jeer people into that state of mind for clicks.

Economies don't roll-over in a month, sometimes it takes years. But this cycle has peaked. Inflation and rising interest rates will cause all kinds of issues, including the highest mortgage rates in 30 years.

It's like when fortunate sons play Fortunate Son at political rallies. Or when people get mad about Rage Against The Machine getting political. I'm not one to gatekeep comics, but they should at least skim the wiki to see the Punisher's origin story.
I'd be curious to know how the logistics work for putting $44B in escrow. Can't be just casually making a $44B wire transfer?
I've seen them used in public places where theoretically someone could grab a laptop and run away with it.
Can it really get any worse than it already is? On the same note, has Elon actually stated a single concrete change that he would make? I think the reality is that for the vast majority of users, Twitter won't change a bit.
I find my zune to be a perfectly cromulent device
This whole discussion is only a thing because Apple's tech isn't changing rapidly enough for regulation, the exact opposite of your scenario. Also good luck producing a functioning smartphone that's too thin for the USB-C connector before the EU can react (the new iPhone 14 has exactly 3 times the thickness, so it'll take a while).

The much more realistic reason for a new phone not being released here is the new proposal to enforce 5 years of replacement parts for all phones among other things.
I personally didn’t get that from the highlight reels of the mid 70’s and early 80’s.

Mostly it was the total chaos, riots, and unrest.

They were also immediately followed by Reagan, who wasn’t exactly a shining beacon of progressivism.

But there were a lot of changes during that time, many that could be considered progressive, mixed in with (or perhaps the reason behind?) the chaos. A lot of folks don’t like change, after all.

The common mirrors have been using aluminum for a long time.

I do not know when aluminum has replaced silver, but it was probably not a long time after WW2.

The silver mirrors had the advantage that the metal could be easily deposited from a water solution, anyone could make silver mirrors at home, if desired.

The aluminum mirrors use a vacuum deposition process, which requires very expensive equipment, but the cost per mirror is much less.
How do you possibly look at Elon's incredibly irrational behavior and think he will lessen the insanity? What you mean is he will fire the people that you don't like.
Thanks. Btw, we use DuckDB (via Node/Deno) for analytics (on Parquet/JSON), and so I must point out that despite the dizzying variation among various language bindings (cpp and python seem more complete), the pace of progress, given the team size, is god-like. It has been super rewarding to follow the project. Also, thanks for permissively licensing it (unlike most other source-available databases).

Goes without saying, if there are cost advantages to be had due to DuckDB's unique strengths, then serverless DuckDB Cloud couldn't come here soon enough.

First off, the constitution can and should be updated. Second, the "right to bear arms" is not without limits already. Third, guns will never be eliminated completely, just regulated more strictly.
Yes, anyone who thinks Twitter is a hellscape now hasn't seen anything yet.
IANAL but I believe California's felony murder rule only applies to specific kinds of felonies, and I don't believe witness intimidation is included:

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...

> (a) All murder that is perpetrated by means of a destructive device or explosive, a weapon of mass destruction, knowing use of ammunition designed primarily to penetrate metal or armor, poison, lying in wait, torture, or by any other kind of willful, deliberate, and premeditated killing, or that is committed in the perpetration of, or attempt to perpetrate, arson, rape, carjacking, robbery, burglary, mayhem, kidnapping, train wrecking, or any act punishable under Section 206, 286, 287, 288, or 289, or former Section 288a, or murder that is perpetrated by means of discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle, intentionally at another person outside of the vehicle with the intent to inflict death, is murder of the first degree.

Torture seems the most likely to apply in this situation:

https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...

> Every person who, with the intent to cause cruel or extreme pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion, or for any sadistic purpose, inflicts great bodily injury as defined in Section 12022.7 upon the person of another, is guilty of torture.

I think a revenge beating meets that definition of torture, and torture is one of the felonies specifically listed in California's felony murder rule.
> He'd rather lose billions.

Its an AND not an OR. He either proceeds with purchase and loses billions, or proceeds with discovery/trial, has personal info exposed, and is then forced to proceed with purchase and lose billions. He's tried to stall proceedings so far, but has reached a legal dead end.
Hypothesis: with the wavering of Credit Suisse and other big banks, and the bond market more generally, Elon Musk thinks that by agreeing to buy, he moves the onus onto the banks who agreed to finance the deal. If they cannot, in the current climate, sell the buyout bonds that they are contractually obligated to, he may still get to walk away` without the legal trouble. Disclaimer: I don't know what I'm talking about.

"...bankers may struggle to sell the risky Twitter buyout debt just as credit markets begin to crack."
A threat is not a mandate. So, it’s a falsehood.
I’m scared what scorched earth musk in charge of a zeitgeist weapon like twitter will do.
There's basically no chance it would have been a fine.

Almost all experts, and Twitter, believed the court would force him to buy, meaning Twitter absolutely wouldn't discuss a partial settlement, even if that had been put on the table which it wasn't (unless something happened during the court case that shifted the odds so far towards Musk looking likely to win that at that point he would be the one not interested in a settlement).

And there's no legal basis for the judge to suggest or order a settlement. Either Musk is right and the court would have ordered the contract breached (and perhaps fines on top for one or both sides), or Musk is wrong and he has to fulfil the contract he signed and buy the company at the price agreed.

If a fine were possible as a middle ground, Musk would still be pushing for that option.
> unless you’re working on an email server?

We are talking about email software, inclusive of servers, clients, plugins, etc. It's literally the example I'm offering (but there are neigh infinite others)

> Send the email and have the user validate it. I

But I haven't proposed a problem of validating an email. Besides, even if the problem is validating an email this is not necessarily a workable answer.

> Even if you’re working on an email server, you shouldn’t be touching that code unless it’s broken

A lot of the arguments supporting unicode seem to boil down to acknowledging that all these things are broken, yet disregarding them because the problems exist at a more technical level than most of HN commenters are familiar with.

You might not write this kind of software for a living, but some of us do and we know that these interfaces are not good.

I work remotely for a very flexible company, and besides ever-increasing meetings,I can otherwise put in my 40 hrs whenever I want. My wife is in a professional degree program and can be very flexible outside of some mandatory in person classes. We are thinking about trying to delay daycare for as long as possible, mostly due to cost. I make just enough money for us to not get any breaks in childcare (government or through university), but it will significantly impact our finances. Unfortunately there is no family close by due to moving for my wife’s schooling. Originally I thought trying to work mostly odd hours and on the weekend was very feasible, but now about a week into sleepless nights I am starting to have doubts. Has anyone else successfully navigated a similar situation?
That big spike is literally just a change in the definition of M1/M2 money supply. Specifically, in May 2020, the Fed began including certain liquid investment accounts. So you can't compare pre-May 2020 figures with post-May 2020 figures because they are measuring different things and they aren't going to go back and retroactively fix the figures.
i’ve worked with people like you in the past. they all write books for their language now. none of them correct. it’s almost never the language that holds you back. it’s the organization and it’s priorities. an easy example is instagram and their use of python. they crushed with a language that clojure folx look down on.
> total chaos, riots, and unrest

looks like we come full circle
Plenty of folks in this thread disagree with you, not only the EU legislative branch. You seem to be missing the fact that we have a society here and it demands concessions and compromises to be part of one.
I thought the same, today was super interesting. I expect that poor Matt will interrupt his day off for a special edition of "Oh Elon" tomorrow though.
Still hoping for a next edition of his "Searching and Sorting" volume, to include modern search engines.
Facial hair also figured in the persecution of Russian Old Believers near the end of the 17th century! "Old Believers had to pay double taxation and a separate tax for wearing a beard)" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Believers#After_the_schism

Hair is so visible, which makes it ideal for social signaling of all sorts. For example, if you know someone with beautiful long hair, that demonstrates both their physical health and their conscientiousness.

> Unrelated to above, but I wonder how much beauty is lost in poetry with translation. Specifically, I wonder how much is actually changed between the original and the English translation... but I wouldn't even know how to quantify that. Blissful ignorance, perhaps.

I also often wonder this about translations. I feel most comfortable with translations produced while the author is still living. And ideally the author has at least some facility with the language to which their work is being translated, which allows them to collaborate with the translator. Two authors who fall into this category are Haruki Murakami and Eugene Vodolazkin — I'm sure there are others as well. (Perhaps this dynamic is less available for languages that aren't as ubiquitous than English.)

If I recall correctly — which I may not — Nabokov translated some of his own Russian works into English, and/or worked with his son? Hopefully someone else can correct my faulty memory here :)
Rezilion works at runtime when the Gitlab runner spins up a container for testing the app. Rezilion observes the contents of memory and can reverse-engineer back to the filesystem to see where everything was loaded from.

In the CI pipeline this depends on your tests exercising the app, but when you deploy Rezilion into a longer-lived environment like Stage or Prod then you may get some new code pathways that are used, although most find that the results aren't surprisingly different between all of the environments.
It’s often overblown but Bayesian statistics shows you should ideally update your mental model with every single piece of new information.

It’s unrealistic to actually carry that out in every case, but in cases where you have zero evidence updating your views based on the first bit of evidence you receive is absolutely the correct choice. The degree to which any single piece of evidence should change your mindset is of course minimal, but holding a view with zero supporting evidence in the face of multiple pieces of counter evidence is a sign of insanity.
It is precisely American Christianity which created the system of religious tolerance and pluralism that we operate under today.

And Richard Hipp, while religious, is clearly the farthest thing from a nutcase as you can get. From everything I have seen his behavior indicates that he is calm, rational, thoughtful, and kind.
I'd say this used to be true, but calculus has become a historical artifact even at some engineering fields. We have become very good at building abstractions. Matrix / linear algebra on the other hand is something we unconsciously do all the time for high level tasks such as rearranging UIs.
trading was halted at least once today. pretty interesting
I've long held a notion that doing exactly the opposite of what lots of math PhDs think we should do in primary and secondary school would be the right path—take math education much farther from "real math". Focus almost completely on math as a tool for solving real problems.

I have a feeling the people who were going to become math majors would do so anyway, under such a system, and the rest of the kids would learn and retain more math than they in fact do with how we teach it today—"here's 6 weeks on how you solve quadratic equations, without a hint of a reason for doing this, feeling motivated yet?"
I gotta say, I should not be surprised at people advocating for inflation. But I am. High inflation has been the boogeyman, foe and underminer of economies world-wide, left-leaning and right-leaning, so I didn't see it coming. But here we are, people advocating for the erosion of purchasing power!

But, if it were a wining combination I guess we can expect Biden to embrace Inflation, Advocate for it and pronounce that he will redouble efforts to accelerate inflation so that we can all look forward to a better economy and better future with High Inflation.

This is WILD. I can't believe my eyes. Despite the Zimbabwe, Brazil, Turkey, etc., experience, people are making the case FOR inflation? My word.

Amazon Prime video on macOS. I thought I could always count on Shift+Command+4. Imagine I'm talking to someone who is having a heart attack and want to send them a screenshot of a video with a bunch of tips on what to do. Shit like this really happens.

> What is the procedure/convention for superseding this directive when something supersedes USB-C?

From the amended text:

> The Commission shall review the application of this Directive in relation to new charging technologies and, report thereon to the European Parliament and to the Council by ... [three years after the date entry into force of this Directive], and every three years thereafter. That report shall be accompanied, if appropriate, by a proposal to amend this Directive to introduce mandatory unbundling.

If the USB Implementor’s Forum want’s to change from USB-C or USB-PD it can speak with the European Commission. It’s an organization with telephones and mail and an address and – I fear – fax machines. Not some weird angels in the sky.
You are not saying anything.
Is that meant to be ironic or not? It is a fact that [real] incomes have not risen for decades, and now , at least in europe, we are facing catastrophic consequences

How does compliance help them more? I'd think it's just the opposite. E.g., I live in a city that posts health department scores in every restaurant. This makes me more likely to eat at a small place because I can know that they're not cutting corners on safety. Whereas, having worked in high school at a large chain restaurant, I would expect those places to do well just through corporate persnicketiness.

I agree they pose a barrier to entry, but I think that's good. People not ready to run a clean kitchen should are not ready to serve food. Now it's possible that the bar is unnecessarily high in places. But I live in a city with lots of restaurants and a relatively low number of chains, so I'm sure it's not always the case.
> 3. My age.

Can't hide that. I have noticeably gray hair, and a few sags and bags. I look my age.

That brings on a huge prejudice, from my fellow travelers in tech. Despite being very respectful of women, people of color, gender identification, etc., they have absolutely no hesitation in calling me "OK boomer," and assuming that I don't have any idea of what I'm doing, in today's tech scene.

It used to absolutely infuriate me, but I've learned to accept it, as I am no longer looking for work, and have come to realize that I'm just not wanted. I won't go, where I'm not wanted. I stopped attending meetups, because I was getting tired of the "circle of avoidance," and people (even other "boomers") avoiding eye contact, etc.

Just for the record, I work harder, these days, than I ever did, and I learn something new every day.

Otherwise, I have plenty of hooks for others to sneer at, and I've had them all my career (I started as a self-taught EE, and have been self-taught for over 30 years, in software -that is "even worse" than a bootcamp; I'm also very open, friendly, and non-competitive, which elicits contempt).

Also, for the record, I believe in Integrity, Honor, Honesty, Kindness, and Open-mindedness, which also elicits contempt. People think Honorable folks are stupid and naive.
I used to hate math up until about 8th grade when I had the realization that math problems are just puzzles and when looked at in that way can be fun and interesting. Eventually this lead to the realization that so many other things can be viewed in the same way, and that fostering this ability to change how I view things was pretty crucial to leading a happy life.

School is terrible at helping foster such an attitude though, perhaps because it is incredibly difficult to do so at scale (even at classroom scale), but also because most teachers don't have this ability within themselves.
The problem is I can’t. I can’t give my freedom for a 9 to 5 job.

Mypyc compiles Python modules to C extensions using standard Python type hints
I’m pretty sure it’s a stability issue. With small steps the noise is correlated between steps; if you tried it in one big jump then you would essentially just memorize the input data. The maximum noise would act as a “key” and the model would memorize the corresponding image as the “value”. But if we do it as a bunch of little steps then the nearby steps are correlated and in the training set you’ll find lots of groups of noise that are similar which allows the model to generalize instead of memorizing.

> Checks and balances don't work. Just look at the whole student debt issue. Someone sued and the Biden administration changed the rule so that the person suing no longer had standing, taking away access to the courts.

This is because the standing they had was tenuous to begin with, his claim was that the issue was he'd be taxed on the 20K in cancelled debt and couldn't opt out. So it was clarified that he could, and suddenly he is no longer harmed. You don't have standing to sue if you aren't harmed.

Student loan companies have a somewhat less tenuous argument, but the real issue is that Biden's actions were probably legal, and checks and balances don't exist to prevent the government from doing legal things.
I ignored the news for many years and only started paying attention with Covid.

I then found myself needing to intentionally seek out positive/uplifting/good news or my mental state would suffer.

Now that governments largely consider the pandemic "over", the news had once again become empty and devoid of anything interesting to me. Maybe it's time to give it up again.
