See my previous post about the bimodal nature of tech salaries in the US.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33140210

The “startups” in the US are even bimodal. You have the ones that set up shop outside of the west coast in big cities that hire “enterprise devs” and you have the well funded ones that try to compete with
big tech salary compensation.
Not sure if this is a gotcha, but how does one make a JS date object (across Safari, FF and Chrome) that refers to the same day of the year regardless of timezone?
This reduces the eating of unhealthy junk. Imagine if it was just an open bag of these sitting by the computer.
I have a Steam library like many people (with 500+ games I will never play) and have not pirated a game since installing Steam.

It is easy, affordable, and acceptable to me. I think the user experience can improve a lot. At this moment however, it is my preferred method of buying games.

The service problem is the problem for me. A Prime example being that I "pirate" movies available to me as a Amazon subscriber because of the VPN policy.
Not at all. It was originally referring to C++ ("Sorry, cannot say no”), then to the design by committee of Perl6, now renamed to Raku, the Japanese translation of "Eierlegende Wollmilchsau".

That’s mangling the timeline a little. SpaceX was founded in 2002 and started launching rockets in 2006, it also received the NASA contract in 2006.

SpaceX didn’t have a successful launch at the time let alone a proven system, but they had plenty to show. Further they where one of 2 winners splitting the initial 800M budget for COTS with Rocketplane Kistler. They are remembered because Rocketplane Kistler failed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocketplane_Kistler

There is a lot I want to fix in Austria from bureaucracy to taxation of stock options and more. The employment law is very fine by me.

If you think that you will get better wages if it’s harder to dismiss employees I have doubts. The main reason devs don’t earn enough in Austria is that it’s hard and expensive to have a business there and that the country is not appealing for employees. That means that the few good IT companies have a small labor pool and need to relocate developers for whom the country is not appealing.
At least, now I know I'm not crazy...ha!

"go to definition" -> goes to type definition

Microsoft makes it intentionally impossible to get anything done in their ecosystem without having "great tooling".
There is always that available $54 billion surplus of the California state government budget.

In my setup I will use the weird tasting algaea to feed fish, which feed bacteria, which feed plants, and in turn I will get a balanced nutrient rich diet from all stages.
Some things still seem to be Windows specific. If I want offline documentation (of the sort one can find at /usr/share/javadoc/java or /usr/share/doc/rust/html by installing the correct packages), every place I look tell me how to enable offline help in Visual Studio (for instance, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/teamblog/offline-book-refr...). Someone here told me last time that there's a way to download whole sections of the MSDN documentation as PDF, which helps, but it's not the same thing.
I can only infer that you've never used SharePoint.

As both a user and both as a Product or Project manager, it's worse in almost every metric.

Atlassians products sick but they're strides better than their competitors which says more about the industry than anything else.
That is a myth, the Gulf steam does not contribute as much to warm European winters as you think. Global warming will make European winters warmer, not colder.

Funny. Most US companies behave much better than companies outside the US. That's why Romanians looking to be hired by US companies and not vice versa (no attempt to offend you or any other Romanian, just stating a fact). This company sounds like a shitty one, the US of course has those like any other country, but it's usually the US ones that get more publicity when things like this happen.(also when good things happen, it goes both ways)
Many, many empty promises.
This isn't harmonized across the EU though, e.g. in German labor courts each side pays their own fees and lawyers regardless of outcome. So even a completely illegal action by your employer can/will still cost you hundreds to thousands of euros when you go and fight it. (The flip side is you don't have to pay for a team of expensive corpo-lawyers in case you loose)
Exactly my thoughts on the subject of the iOS store. Disclaimer: I use iOS.
Money has to play a part in it because the people and companies working to deliver the care need to be paid somehow or they’ll eventually have to stop doing it.

This is a resource allocation problem. People (whether individually or collectively) work to create things of value and direct some percentage of that to medical treatment. If that is wasted in rare cases, that’s unfortunate but we accept some amount of imperfection. If it’s wasted in a lot of cases, many other people will go without needed care who didn’t have to if we allocated that spend more effectively.
Worst thing that can happen is being taken to court and ordered to pay some money.
I could not agree more. My daily updates did stop. Writing something that is not complete shit for an entire year was hard. However, writing is also a personal experience. This again, is why I say write for the joy of writing. My goals were 1) become a better writer 2) focus on something that takes more then a few days, and see it through 3) document as much as I could about things I've learned over my career 4) write about things I love, which is something I think other nerdy people enjoy. In this example, my blog became more of a conscious stream. The articles that resinated with "my people" organically became popular. No SEO. No clickbait. No search-engine/spam shenanigans. Real writing from a real person with a real goal.
Or FogBugz, Azure DevOps. They're all so absolutely terrible.
Interesting to hear! What happened to those guys?
It's not about the reason, but rather the act of living in an authentic and bold manner and not making up excuses to assuage your guilt. You can respect one trait of the person while not approving of them in general. And sometimes more respect will really just mean less contempt, all else being equal.
Welllll… “works right now” is perhaps an overly strong assertion when it comes to day.js. I was working on a library we use for parsing "schedules" (like, alarm turns on at 9:00pm on Thursday, and off again at 7:00am on Friday). I was doing things like computing the number of seconds until the next scheduled transition. I tried switching from moment to day.js, and my unit tests immediately failed. Within a couple of hours I’d opened two bugs [1][2], both related to incorrect behaviour in corner cases (like generating the incorrect date when near a daylight saving time transition).

The fact that it only took me a few hours to find these suggests there are plenty more bugs like these to find. The fact that these bugs have been open since the start of March with no movement on them suggests they aren’t too interested in correct behaviour (or perhaps they’re just your typical under-staffed open source project).

Maybe I just got super unlucky and ran into the only two bugs here… but it’s not likely.

Luxon and moment.js both handled these cases perfectly. If you’re looking to move from whatever you’re using now, and you can’t wait for the new standard, I’d pick one of those.

Yes. And login state or preferences are perfectly valid "functional uses" that don't require consent (but need to be spelled out in the privacy policy by most interpretations of the law).

The difference between first and third party cookies/embeds is only relevant when the third party may be collecting data (e.g. keeping access logs). This covers things like Google Fonts, Google Maps and social media embeds all of which should be opt-in and have fallback options (like an external link to the otherwise embedded post or map).
It's very easy to see that most of capital-labor relations fall into this category.
Ug, nuclear war is a civilization ending event and everyone, even Putin, knows this and does not want this. The chances are therefore 0%.
I was of the understanding that you cannot open a business in the Netherlands if you are not resident or have no local office - or does it simply require you have employees and pay the relevant taxes? It seems too easy for the owner to have gotten out of this without recourse.
> People are slow to get the message.

No they aren't, this is actually the worst propaganda I see these days.

People believe climate change is real and they want to do more to fix it. Even in the most extreme countries (Indonesia, Nigeria, Saudi, etc.,) denialists are maybe 30% of the population. In all of the western world, including USA, public belief in a "climate emergency" is overwhelming in political terms - 65% even at the lower end like USA, the majority of people want to see more action. Far less supported and disliked legislation and policies have been rammed through political systems frequently.

The propaganda is that it's some podunk backwater holdouts who somehow wield this vast power over politicians who are the problem and that people still need to be "educated" about climate change. This is a lie. It's not. It's the politicians and their corporate owners who are the problem. And it's not just one side of politics either -- the other side also holds great power but conveniently decides to use it for much less popular actions and things rather than seriously addressing "the greatest threat to humanity". Doens't add up, does it? "The dumb stupid redneck" is a scapegoat. A divisive diversionary tactic used by your politician so you don't hold them accountable.
Sometimes I wonder whether tagging support for HN articles wouldn’t be useful. Members could assign arbitrary publicly visible tags to articles, and upvote/downvote/flag those tags. Everyone could filter by tags and maybe see a vote count for each tag. Of course, that would be one more thing to moderate.
I see many things wrong with the arguments (both the authors and Thiels). Both are very selective about which countries they look at i.e. they talk about the fundamental changes made to English and US societies before, but completely ignore the changes we have seen in China in the last 20 years (I would argue is part of the "democratising" of wealth).

There are also many false statements, for example they mention a person from the early 20th century would not be surprised by the way we communicate, because it is all still radio waves. Which is wrong, our communications relies almost exclusively on fibre optical communications, which was invented and made a reality in the 60s and 70s. Moreover, communications has changed from analog to digital, which rely on completely different mathematics.

Discounting the progress made in communications (exponential growth in throughput over an optical fiber over 40 years, with several revolutionary inventions) seems to be completely unjustified and arbitrary. The thought that any person could converse with any one else in the world with video at any time was pretty much unthinkable and has completely transformed society.

The progress that has been made in advanced fabrication with lithography is also revolutionary. This has enabled us to harness the power of the sun directly. I would argue the transition that we are (hopefully) seeing now with the move to renewables is a much more fundamental revolution, because everything before was essentially still digging stuff out the ground and burning it.
Okay. So I can steal an AMEX card (in fact, copy the numbers so that the cardholder is not aware), subscribe it to a bunch of leeching services, and expect that those subscriptions will go on and on even if the holder finds out and changes the card details?

My god.

It doesn’t quite work like that in Europe, as far as I know. The fact that you file chargebacks over and over and they don’t do shit is even more insane.
I've come to think that breaks are actually a necessity, just like sleep. Yes, you can compromise for a while but it will catch up to you. With young children you're basically trying to outlast the sleep deprivation but it cannot go on indefinitely (fortunately children grow up). I know it's easy to say, but I truly believe the vast majority of people require a breaks or will inevitably suffer extremely negative consequences.

Not that that will reduce your anxiety but if burnout hits you it's genuinely devastating.
Unfortunately this is well within corporate “go away” money. They’ll gladly dish over 75k to get a threat off their books. It’s the corporate equivalent to stuffing 20 bucks in your pocket in case you’re held up while out on a run and don’t carry your wallet. Add a zero to make it 750k if you want corporations to think about it deeper.
You are right, I should have said SiFive is into designing chip with the RISC ISA.
There isn't really an animal-using industry that involves humane conditions. Most justifications to the contrary are usually in bad faith, such as citing mom and pop farms or whatever as if that were even remotely the bulk of the sourcing. Even the fact of breeding animals specifically for harvest is already terrible, no matter if it's done by a kindly old couple or not. You would never treat a being whose life you value in this way.
Ya I took the vaccine personally, but when a friend mentioned they got their ~1 yr old vaccinated i grimaced
How can I create an Impact in the world when all I know is how to make software?
Background: I am 22. I am backend dev working in a massively growing fintech in India. And my salary is quite decent. I like to solve codeforces problems, play Video Games. I got great applauses at my work for my performance and business impact(i automated something business critical).

But I have this feeling inside me that I am not doing anything useful to the world. These ecommerce, fintech, Data Engineering, Analytics etcetc though i like them, i feel like i am not doing useful things unlike a doctor, scientist. I am interested in Space, BioInformatics for a long time. I explored a few Open Source Science Software to contribute to, but it seems like most of the algorithms are implemented by the people who knew physics and math stuff. I feel like apart from making good software, i do not have any other skills in any other domain like science.

My family is not yet financially stable and i cannot afford to lose my job and do masters in aerospace engineering or start a startup. Maybe I can startup, maybe i can succeed. I dont know. The worst part is that i do not have american Visa which disqualifies me to work for many interesting startups in US. But I am looking for inspiration. I want to be rich but i am not that interested in money. I just want to do something important and be at peace and not overthink like this.

Any advice people?
Additionally the ePrivacy law was revised to e.g. mandate that if an "accept all" button is present it can not be given more visual weight than a "deny all and continue" button. Most (especially American) sites are currently in violation of this requirement as they try to get away with making it annoying to not opt-in to everything.
I would say Notion. Not sure if it's considered the same category
Only slightly related, but "pawpaw" is often used in the Southern United States as a nickname for grandpa.

Reading this article was pretty surreal and funny with this in mind. Everyone rushing to buy and eat their pawpaws for their mango and banana like flavor.

I wonder if you could cultivate it on a larger scale, the demand is there. Or maybe they are more like truffles and need to be foraged.

Interesting article, now I have to try it. On a similar note, people take for granted the fact that tomatoes, potatoes, chocolate, vanilla, and blueberries all originated in the Americas.

Imagine ancient Rome without the tomato. Some things are so commonplace that we forget their origins.

And... it's a multi tenant system, where some organizations use Sunday as the start of a week, and some use Monday. And they all want to be able to switch.
Would you consider a middle ground for movie watching? I understand you don’t want to hook up your LG to the internet, but would you considering booking up a fire stick, Roku, Apple TV, etc device for the purpose of streaming movies?

You’d avoid the forced upgrades on your LG and suffer a minor inconvenience of streaming from another device which does have internet access. I don’t know what the ad’s situation is on those devices, but I’m sure with some research you could find a streaming device that hopefully meets your requirements.

Another option is cast all the videos from a tablet or computer to the TV.
Can't be he's using it wrong.
I haven’t run the math but the percentage of air pollution caused by garbage trucks is probably relatively small.
I have a perspective from the other end of this, as a seller. Been using Stripe for 5 years selling digital content with a low, $5 average bill. A year ago the site was likely noticed by hackers who started punching in dozens of stolen credit cards. I kept refunding manually at first, but then I had activated Stripe Radar. It made absolutely zero difference out of the box. "-Is it a 100th charge coming from the same IP in Ukraine with a Canadian VISA? No problem, charge approved, here's your success webhook.". "-Same fake TLD for the email address, for a customer number 2235? Nothing suspicious here, charge approved.".

What helped fight this was to create a rule in Radar to reject all cards without 3D Secure capability, but it had cut off a sizable chunk of legit revenue.
I always bring this up in discussions with social scientists and economists who maintain 99% or 95% significance level as the standard above which results from their studies get accepted. It's ridiculous; we can expect 1 or 5 in a hundred studies to be wrong just from statistics.
I believe the same. More so about the death.
The key fact is that bunker in New Zealand is likely survivable thing in long term. Not nice(having to actual work and not having modern products available), but survivable. We aren't anywhere close that with Mars.

There seems to be some immense blindness just how hard and fragile living on Mars would be. For decades at the minimum but probably for centuries more likely.

Substack is on the right path for them. Medium needs to get back on the right path for us.

They are doing a great job of unbundling traditional media. They are the most credible threat to the NYT digital subscription powerhouse. But that unbundling only works for some authors, i.e. that's why top Substack authors left and formed their own bundle (every.to).

We are in the job of rebundling. It's one price for everything. And that works for a different set of authors and publications. This fits much more what I want to see in publishing. I want a place that is friendly to subject matter experts. That is most people here and the thing that makes you a subject matter expert is that you are doing interesting work, not trying to build an audience.
Older canadians are also working in jobs that pay less and are paying less and less in real terms as inflation continues. Note that real inflation experienced by actual people is much higher that CPI due housing and education costs having been soaring above everything else for decades. Now food and basic stuff is following suit.

Putting out a fire on HN before it gets more press is something anyone would do so it basically means nothing. Now, if a founder commented on here "Don't bother sending me your details. I've un-fucked our support system, just submit a ticket again" that would get my respect.
FWIW, CD-XA's presence in the first PlayStation might be due to my influence. I was the "Philips streaming guy" hired by Sony who worked with the streaming libraries and the OS subsystem devs in Tokyo, during the development of the initial PlayStation OS. In a series of architectural design meetings I helped their developers understand the whys and hows of real time files and the architecture necessary within the OS to support them.
Just to play devil's advocate... It can be hard to know that there's a problem if it doesn't get escalated to the right people.

I'm sure most devs have an experience where something is broken for weeks before you happen to overhear someone talking about the multi-step workaround for a 5 minute code fix.

I think the same kind of issue applies.. Support teams are encouraged to not escalate, if they do, it often goes to a higher level support (but not any developers/business people). They find a clever solution and that becomes the common practice. It's not until a big stink is made that the right people are aware of a possible problem, and perhaps only then investigate the scope of that problem, and realize it needs prioritization.

Of course, this doesn't answer why the support team didn't even read the email to see you're not asking for a password reset... But might be a contributing factor.
I cut $1M/month in costs in the first month. Now we're working on quality.
the problem with that is just how crazy people can be. last i heard, in a conversation with another human. is that there's this huge government and media conspiracy to cover up the 100,000 dead in Florida from Ian flooding.
Are you me? This is precisely what my life feels like. Honestly, one kid was actually manageable; two sort of hit the breaking point (it didn’t help that my work went to hell at the same time), but then we had twins and life now feels basically untenable with both of us working.

I love my kids profoundly, and I think in the long run I will be happier than if I’d not had them and focused on work instead (work tends not to care about you after you leave. Maybe if you’re Steve Jobs or something). But in the moment, life is pretty stressful.
Pretty sure the most efficient algorithm (it's linear) is to scan through the image in raster order but when you find a component you follow all the way around its border. I implemented it years ago. Can't remember the name though.
Almost all climate variability in either direction is unpleasant for settlements long built for a certain expected range.
