Not really worth bothering. It was a single picture which showed only a small part which was an exact copy. No real content.
I can reflect that we saw this happening in real life hiring. Remote hiring competition got FIERCE from the beginning of the pandemic and really through most of 2021. It has since settled out quite a bit.

There was a combination of large companies needing programmers to enable remote work or process changes due to the pandemic, stimulus funds causing a lot of VC funding to hit startups, hiring binges at FAANG companies, and everyone suddenly being remote-friendly.
"Non-western" was originally used by right-wingers complaining about tolerance of Muslims, but given that a lot of people really far out on the right actually want to tear down Western institutions, it seems more like them making a smug grin[0] and saying "You like theocracy, don't you Mr. Liberal?" nowadays.

Lithium batteries are awesome, but I think lead acid just makes a lot more sense for a UPS- they like to be fully charged, last virtually forever when maintained that way, and don't require any complex charge management circuitry.

I don't see USB-A going anywhere in the next decade or so, especially now that they're popping up in wall outlets and power strips alongside traditional wall plugs (at least here in the US; YMMV elsewhere). Hell, I was at a casino last weekend and pretty much every slot machine has a USB-A port specifically for charging phones (unfortunately, the casino's gift shop was sold out of USB-C and Lightning, but had lots of micro-B on hand - go figure lol).

> I can see both sides, but in general, a government that protects 'reasonable consumers' over the interests of businesses seems preferable.

Agreed. People rallying against "big government" annoys me because they're invariably for government intervention when it aligns with their personal belief.

I do not think that the government should regulate information or speech, especially with the express purpose of censoring things[0]. I do think the government should regulate food, medicine, or other commercial or consumer goods that are subject to counterfeiting/fraud or where perversion of quality affects safety or longevity. When I go to the pharmacy, I want to feel confident that the medicine I'm purchasing meets a high bar and is both safe and effective. I want to feel confident that the avocado oil I'm purchasing is actually "Avocado Oil" and not rancid or adulterated. Etc.

The BLS page on their data collection: https://www.bls.gov/oes/

> The Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program produces employment and wage estimates annually for nearly 800 occupations. These estimates are available for the nation as a whole, for individual states, and for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas; national occupational estimates for specific industries are also available.

On this page is https://www.bls.gov/oes/mb3-methods.pdf

> Probability sample panels of about 180,000 to 200,000 establishments are selected semiannually. Responses are obtained by mail, Internet or other electronic means, email, telephone, or personal visit. Respondents report their employees’ job titles or occupations across 12 wage ranges. The job titles and descriptions are used to classify workers into occupations in the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system.

> Estimates of occupational employment and wage rates are based on six panels of survey data collected over a 3-year cycle. The final in-scope sample size when six panels are combined is approximately 1.2 million establishments. Total 6-panel unweighted employment covers approximately 80 million3 out of the total employment of over 140 million4.

They're not scraping. They are calling up a hundreds of thousands of companies and asking them "how much are you paying people with this classification?"

They occasionally redo the classifications based on industry trends.

These classifications are buckets that the BLS creates trying to loosely get a single mode in the wage data (if there is a bimodal distribution of the wage data, then there are two different classifications).

When someone applies on a work visa, they have to fit into a bucket somewhere. The definition of that bucket determines which type of visa they may be approved for. If it requires a degree, then its the H-1B. If it doesn't require a degree, its likely a H-2B... and that in turn leads to other implications (the H-1B is dual intent and can lead to a green card while the H-2B isn't).

Expanding on this.

Scaffolding breaks my mental model for reading code. This often results in more mental overhead and slower/worse outcomes.

When scaffolding generates code for me, I read it as psuedo-blessed code. Rather than starting from a clean slate and working through my mental checklist, I must interpret what the scaffolder created. Figure out what I _actually_ need and figure out what needs changing.

By contrast, without a scaffolder, I feel like it's much easier for me to build a mental model around the problem I'm solving - focusing in on the more important components first. Yes, I know that I'll probably need 20 files to complete a feature. However, I don't need those files right now.

They did mandate micro-usb, actually.

I believe the exact wording was that the industry was required to standardize on a connector, which at the time turned out to be micro-usb. Now the industry is shifting to usb-c, which is objectively better.

The current law already includes provisions to switch to a potential superior connector in the future. If the industry comes up with something better, the EU is not going to demand they stick with usb-c forever.

My now wife picked me up in a bar in 1992.

After we met, it was clear that we had been frequenting the same bars for about three years, and had attended many shows together/apart, but neither of us had any recollection of recognizing each other at any prior point. The shows were significant acts (for example, an ear bleedingly loud Bob Mould at the Green Parrot in Neptune NJ) that had to be the same show, could not possibly have been a different weekend with some common local band.

But there you have it. No contact until she noticed me sitting at the bar watching a live band at a worn out dive bar/night club, and wanted to know what my T-shirt said. She was drunk. She was adorable. I was smitten.

Noting that it's not _developed_ that way. Its many files are compounded together by the build process to produce the amalgamation build. In a mixed-language project (Rust for some, C for others) a single-file distribution literally won't be possible and it will require as many toolchains to build as there are languages involved.
Thats overstating it. Things aren't looking good here in Denmark, but it takes far more than some bad economic times to crush us. Inflation is bad, but not unprecedented, neither is energy price spikes.

We are not currently seeing a shortage of much, certainly things have gone up in price, but we do not have the shortages we had with Covid, there are no restrictions on what I can do and the war hasn't impacted me in any way, except that it is the thing on the news.

It is possible we will lack power for the winter, its also possible putin nukes somebody. Not likely.
I agree with you that open communication is vital to correct prioritization. But one good way to resolve that problem is to agree up front that there's a bunch of small stuff that's just not worth getting business stakeholders educated about, and that they should trust professional technical judgment as to how to spend some of the project time.

And I think technical debt is a fine metaphor, because the term gives non-technical people useful intuitions about what is normally invisible to them. E.g., they can take it on when needed, pay it down as available, declare "bankruptcy" via rewrites. And if they don't pay it down, it will consume more of the "income", constraining future choices.
You can't just throw files on there. You should make sure the clients you're connecting support the codecs and formats natively and at that point the pi is basically acting as a NAS. It should play 4k fine like that if it has the bandwidth necessary.

The constant dongle arguments are so funny, especially in this case.

1) You buy a USB-C to Lightning cable. Obviously.
2) Everyone bitches about Apple supposedly requiring all kinds of dongles, but of course, what caused that? Apple's insistence on putting only Thunderbolt ports on the Mac. Which of course use what connector? USB-C.

People need to figure out what they are bitching about before just mouthing words about dongles all the time.

Start a free trial of ClickHouse Cloud (https://clickhouse.cloud/signUp) and compare price/performance with your current set up.

Is this also arguing that Netflix should have stuck with being a DVD-by-mail company rather than pivoting into being a streaming company?

I think you can find examples of failed pivots and successful pivots but I'm not sure that "big companies should stick with their current cash cow and never pivot" is a best practice.
as I mentioned in another reply, this album has been completely debunked -- it's not "fake fake". But it's just not at all a collection of actual WW2 Nanjing photos, and it's still not clear to me why the TikToker assumed that (if we imagine him acting in good faith).

But if this pawn shop owner in Minneapolis had serendipitously found an album of actual never-before-seen documentary photos of a famous, horrific but relatively unknown war crime -- then crowdsourced attention/support via Tiktok to get those photos to where they could be verified and authoritatively disseminated? That would definitely (imho) be HN front page material -- just a classic Internet power-of-the-masses type story.

Thanks for the candid feedback! We've been working on our buildpacks-in-Docker support over the last month or so and it's greatly improved, IMO. (I'm biased--I wrote the changes.) So this should be smoother for newcomers.

v3 (or the to-be-released v4) of @renderinc/heroku-import should significantly grease the skids for folks looking to make a similar move, and the Render CLI we've got cooking also includes helpers for making ongoing development with buildpacks more reasonable.

SQLite has a lot of rough edges. As amazing as it is, it would be better if the core devs were more open to outside world.

> Also, SQLite's VFS API can do a lot there already. For example, I remember seeing SQLite compiled to WASM, using a VFS that downloads a remote database on S3 using HTTP Range requests. (I don't think it supported writing to the database, but it was still a really cool way of allowing complex client-side querying of a dataset that is static but too big to transfer).

I started lifting weights 3 years ago on this program (it's basically the Starting Strength novice linear progression).

For background I'm in my mid 50s, never did weight training in my life before 2019. I've progressed more I thought I could and my muscle tone and strength is better than it's ever been in my life.

However none of this has changed my outlook on work, or accomplishing other stuff in general. It hasn't unlocked any new drive or energy or passion. I don't feel like a different person from before. In fact I am tired earlier in the evening and sleep more now.

I don't say this to be discouraging but personally I've never found that "just do this one thing you're not doing" will make a dramatic difference aside from getting better at doing that thing. If you want to get strong, lift weights. That's good in its own right. It may or may not change anything else in your life.

They're not interchangeable, of the C cables I have now some will drive my monitor and some won't, and some don't even carry data. The type C connector is a big step up vs the older micro and A+B connectors, it just doesn't really make using USB simpler or easier to figure out.

10-year extensions with graduated costs. You get first 10 years upon publication, for free automatically, or for a nominal filing fee to register your claim. The next 10 years costs (extending to 20 total) now costs a meaningful fee. Maybe a fraction of sales structured like a license owned by the public/government, maybe a known schedule of fees based on the type of work, but either way it is a non-trivial sum. Then at 20, 30 and 40 there are further extensions each with higher costs, stopping at 50 years total. The copyright isn't tied to the creator's lifespan. Maybe we extend from my proposed 50 to 70 years to match current expectation, so Mickey gets protected (or would have) but there is a social benefit that gets shared.

Ah, I see. Yeah, by that measure Clojure will be esoteric indeed. Python developers being rare is very surprising.

Of course it can't be written into your bell tester.

It's not hiding anything. It works because of the post-selection. But this selection is done in a locally compatible way.

It works because you as the (virtual) experimenter can specify/choose explicitly a precise definition of what a measurement is, (which you can't do in your widget).

My code is showing an example of the general structure of how you could/should define what a measurement is, in such a way that you preserve both the locality of the world, and the observed violation of the Bell inequalities (according to your definition of what a measurement is).

I'd argue that it's in essence doing what, one way or the other, the real world measurement apparatuses of the experimenters are doing.
