ok, it looks like i was wrong. i thought i read that in germany too employees can be terminated without reason. further search found that to be false.

it seems that austria really is the bad exception here.
One of my favorite way to force breaks is to use a Bullet Journal and put all of my activities in a single list. As long as it's not too huge, my brain is good at breaking stuff up, and when I context switch from, say, debugging to writing a presentation, or work to emptying the dishwasher, I often feel quite refreshed while still getting done what I need to do.
Yes, but you don't know how pretty she was, and how sweet and feminine, etc. otherwise!!

Also, no one understands love, in particular, you don't. I'm not nearly the first man to stay in love for life!
Subordination:

1. The act of subordinating, subjecting, or placing in a lower order, rank, or position, or in proper degrees of rank; also, the state of being subordinate or inferior; inferiority of rank or dignity.

2. Degree of lesser rank.

3. The state of being under control of government; subjection to rule; habit of obedience to orders.

4. The act of subordinating, placing in a lower order, or subjecting.

5. The quality or state of being subordinate or inferior to an other; inferiority of rank or dignity; subjection.

6. Place of inferior rank.

7. The process of making something subordinate.

8. The property of being subordinate.

9. The quality of being properly obedient to a superior (as a superior officer).

As you see when you expect your dog to be obedient your are placing yourself on a higher rank, so your dog is your subordinate.

When you expect your employee to be subordinate your are expecting him to obey when something is asked or tasked from ranks higher than their's in your organization. Your are also expecting him to obey to what is written in the subordination contract signed by both.

Wikipedia: obedience, in human behavior, is a form of "social influence in which a person yields to explicit instructions or orders from an authority figure".

What I think to be the main issue is the word "order". IMHO an order is not something that might exist in a workplace, with few exceptions. Your boss gives you tasks and expect you to execute them remaining inside a more or less explicit set of rules, your boss cannot give you orders.
With enough money, it can be worked out. Many SaaS companies have an on-premises offering for large enterprise clients and sensitive organizations. It's not priced at $9.99/month, though.
Well TS does have its complexities, but it is somewhat surprising to see the complaint being that supporting typechecking for something that is not TS at all (and something TS authors know nothing about) is complex.

It is amazing that the whole langserver stacking that volar does is possible at all - I don't believe there is any equivalent prior art that worked as well as it does. Despite all the complexity the end user experience is pretty good. If someone had mentioned to me this kind of cross language type-checking can work as nicely before I used volar I would have been super skeptical.

Sure it has its caveats. But it is also completely possible to use vue in pure typescript.

I don't fault them for having native jsx support, React was just too popular in the target user base. I do hope that someday js+ts gets kotlin style builders, but until I'll gladly use volar.

I agree with what you're saying.

At the same time, it feels weird that you work at Stripe, are responding to a question about Stripe, but are talking about companies generally while not disclosing that you work for Stripe.
As someone with experience with antidepressants, if my doc had me on 11, I’d be talking to new doctors.

You could be right and this is an exaggeration, but it’s a quote directly attributed to her, and it’s the only info we have. Otherwise we might as well not discuss any of this.

I don’t think any of us have enough good info about this situation to form solid opinions, but I do think the circumstances sound like they need more scrutiny.

Do you have an example? Your example can hardly be called a success. The last big infrastructure project I recall that can even be called a success is the Big Dig in Boston, which came at a huge (unplanned for) cost.

This is a good write-up. One nitpick however, I would not go to an abandoned mine as refuge from a nuclear bomb. If the bomb is too close to the mine, the old support timbers of unknown age may crumble and the mine may collapse. Blasts from a nuke are a different frequency than explosive charges and the timbers if not kept bone dry will buckle. Even if one is not crushed by the collapse, nobody will know that mine has people in it and extracting survivors may not be feasible.

Right now, in the best of times it would take hours to round up make-shift mining equipment. After a nuke drops, getting hydraulic muckers, drilling/rounding rigs, supports, jack-leg drills, anchors, hydraulic pumps and an experienced mining team would not happen. There could be tens of tons of muck to remove. All the local mining folks including my neighbors do strip-mining these days, meaning the equipment at the local mine is entirely useless. The local SAR team would make a best-effort but I would not expect them to extract survivors.

They also need to crawl this page for 404's. The Wyoming gov link is broken.

Ask HN: Best way to learn C++ in 2022
Hello HN,

What are good books, tutorials and courses which can allow you to become better C++ programmer if you are starting as beginner
> For one, try redefining a property as a getter/setter pair in a subclass.

This is actually a completely invalid pattern in JavaScript, and it's really good that TypeScript errors for it.

Class fields are created with a define property step in the constructor, so they would shadow the getter/setter in the subclass.

The super class needs to have a getter/setter pair itself to be overrideable.

The upcoming `accessor` keyword will help by makes getter/setter pairs automatically.

As for required args and defaults, TypeScript doesn't really change anything over JavaScript except adding type warnings: https://www.typescriptlang.org/play?#code/MYewdgzgLgBAZiEMC8...
Looking back I see some benefit to doing extra - for example my toddler had no issue with weaning or adapting to daycare, which I heard is usually a problem.

We didn't implement independent sleeping and getting rid of the pacifier though(so far).

I believe that ultimately people usually try to do their best and there's no sense in beating yourself up about it or worse - someone else.
Well, somebody wrote the policy. Maybe it wasn't approved at the highest levels, but there's a faction in the company that wants it.
Anybody anywhere can commit suicide with varying success and aftermath. Having a clean, sure to work, painless death if you wish it so is a huge improvement over those self made options.

I relate a lot to this. I had a really hard time getting out of the college mindset and into the workplace mindset. Ultimately, for me, it meant finding a workplace that encouraged me to utilize my ADHD, rather than trying to control it; I can't say that that's what you need (since you may not have ADHD, obviously), but I do think finding a workplace that fits with the way your brain works is very helpful.

It also meant figuring out what I really want in life, and making sure I was working towards it! Nothing leads to burnout faster than feeling like you're going in the wrong direction.
Yes Indian state recognizes all castes. That is the core problem. For the system to be dismantled you need the Indian state to stop recognizing castes and implement US style Affirmative Action and only provide Reservation opportunities to those from low income groups.

But the first ones to fight against this reform would be the "lower caste" strata of the population. Who would give up freebies, Government jobs as well as an education in Prestigious Universities where you can guaranteed to get it based on your birth caste and not on merit? No one would. If I am born in any of the "lower caste" groups I can easily get a Government job, free/subsidized education in any Prestigious University irrespective of my scores/performance. Now there is talk of reservation/quotas in land distribution as well (comments by a politician in a recent speech to his base). Idea is that if you want to purchase land some section of the land is reserved if you belong to a particular caste (and will probably be available for lower than market rate as well). However ridiculous it might sound.

Affirmative Action in US doesn't have a quota system or reservation. It instead focuses on equal opportunity (no denial of opportunity to anyone based on their race/creed/color/sex/religion etc). This is different from India's Caste based reservation system where you are guaranteed of a job/education if you belong to lower caste. Doesn't matter if you are merited or not. Doesn't matter if you are rich or not. Even seats in the Parliament of India have reservations/quotas for lower castes.

It is ridiculous to talk about dismantling caste system while in the same breath prop up structures that actively promotes this same caste system on the Government level. And the Politicians do not want to dismantle said system because it helps with their vote bank.

I worked closely with him for two years, researching for the Critical Zones exhibition 2020 at the ZKM. He was also my mentor for my postgraduate artistic research project. I remember him as an incredibly kind and patient person, he took time to listen and speak with all the participants, and would try and help everyone grow. Sure, he was a great thinker, but it was his near-childlike openness and excitement that influenced me most.

We agreed to meet again at his estate in France, for a photo session of him at a place where he goes to think and be alone with himself. Due to the pandemic, that never happened. I'll miss you, Bruno.
I've counted up to 150 'legitimate interest' settings I've had to manually turn off one by one before I got to the end of the list.

Let's not pick on Stripe, and let's not pick on HN.

In case anyone is curious, the following are translated quotations that people have interpreted as nuclear threats:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-24/full-tran...

> I would now like to say something very important for those who may be tempted to interfere in these developments from the outside. No matter who tries to stand in our way or all the more so create threats for our country and our people, they must know that Russia will respond immediately, and the consequences will be such as you have never seen in your entire history. No matter how the events unfold, we are ready. All the necessary decisions in this regard have been taken. I hope that my words will be heard.

http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/69390

> They have even resorted to the nuclear blackmail. I am referring not only to the Western-encouraged shelling of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, which poses a threat of a nuclear disaster, but also to the statements made by some high-ranking representatives of the leading NATO countries on the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction – nuclear weapons – against Russia.

> I would like to remind those who make such statements regarding Russia that our country has different types of weapons as well, and some of them are more modern than the weapons NATO countries have. In the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend Russia and our people, we will certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us. This is not a bluff.

http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/69465

> The United States is the only country in the world that has used nuclear weapons twice, destroying the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan. And they created a precedent.
There are numerous justifications for avoiding connecting most smart TVs to the internet, so that's reasonable. None of ours get connected either.

Play a Blu-ray on an Xbox or laptop connected to the TV instead of your bad player, it should be more convenient than downloading on your questionable connection and shuffling files around all the time. After all, it's just a digital file with DRM on a storage device, which you're ok with. There may be rights issues that limit stores to offering 4K streaming and not downloads.

If you do bother to switch to another playing device, maybe try grabbing a UHD Movies Anywhere movie then playing it in 4K from several of the Movies Anywhere linked services to see if one buffers better or has a better bitrate suitable for your connection.

If the underlying connection problem is the ISP in your area and it doesn't even offer 20Mbps, maybe you could give Starlink a try. If it's more about wireless signal or interference, look into a better wireless router or try ethernet.

Lastly, the HD releases of some movies now are quite good due to better source material, especially at some viewing distance/screen size combos. I know it can feel like a waste when you've invested in a great TV since you miss out on HDR or other features, but part of having a great device is good upscaling. How much it matters really depends on the kind of movie.
Yup. It's so obviously better for the consumer (and reduction of consumer support burden) that it's unbelievable that Stripe, or credit cards for that matter, don't have it.

This is a very simplistic view of the tensions in the region, which have been ongoing for decades. Just as the US has reason to retaliate against Saudi Arabia, many other places could also have reasons to push the ruling family out of power and gain influence.

It also fails to account for the autonomy of the people there. Is it really so hard to believe that they are rebelling against authoritarianism?

Even if there is an interest to empower the people to oust the regime, wouldn't it be fomenting on already existing unhappiness?

Interestingly, the same can be said of unrest anywhere- undoubtedly the agendas of several states will always align with weakening their competitors/adversaries.

When you consider the things everyday people care about and strive for, it can be argued that any party interested in destabilizing another nation would play to those aspirations in such a way as to further their control- this is true of almost everywhere, it is not exclusive to any one people or any one institution, and it can be seen in every region. In any given place, if you take a close look, there are varying levels of influence from foreign powers- often with the goal to secure economic goals or obtain natural resources.
> It prioritizes tasks based on factors like due date, start date, and priority — so you (and your team) always know which task to work on next.

Oh no. xD This kind of prioritization is one of the worst kinds you can do based on human personality dynamics--especially if stuck or late--and it's the default for this improved app from what I can tell?

I really recommend that smart productivity systems use & guide users through open, multi-factor list ranking, with factors input by users at the very least. It should be possible for the software to help users construct a subjective and appropriate priority model with little effort. More objective ranking factors like due date are a very common red herring for what it means to know _how_ to get things done.

Changing from priority-first to another type of ranking altogether is often the key to deciphering a difficult productivity puzzle, so I really want to see more apps like this move in such a direction and treat prioritization more deftly.

Genocide doesn't mean mass killing.

Just to cite Wikipedia...

> In 1948, the United Nations Genocide Convention defined genocide as any of five "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such." These five acts were: killing members of the group, causing them serious bodily or mental harm, imposing living conditions intended to destroy the group, preventing births, and forcibly transferring children out of the group. Victims are targeted because of their real or perceived membership of a group, not randomly.
It's a good piece, and excellent as far as it goes. You should investigate hypnosis. E.g. you can just remember things, w/o spaced repetition or anything, just transfer a piece of knowledge directly to long-term memory immediately. The tricky part is second-order effects. Once you move naturally-autonomic subsystems into voluntary control you now have responsibility for them. The result is a kind of change-of-being learning as contrasted with accumulation-of-facts learning.

At some point, web browsers will become content scrappers, only showing the interesting bits.

Fully standards compliant WYSIWYG forfeits control to the server (service).

Terrible take. We can prevent it from getting worse.
i don't see why zero wages would be a problem in that case.
it would be a money-less society like in star trek. whether that's realistic is another discussion.

but how about universal basic income instead?
> Working harder and longer produces more productivity, right?

Right. But I'd take it a step further and add...productive is not effective.
Depression can lead to irrational and rational suicide attempts. It's all fine when your depression can get treated. But when you have severe depression where all treatment fails, how is that different from other diseases that cause suffering that cannot be relieved?
doesn't take paragraphs to explain this. you invest better by remaining emotionally attached from your investments. if you've invested well over the past 5 or so years you should be sitting on a nice pile of cash. spend it. the dollar is strong, inflation is at an incredibly high level. don't just waste it all, treat yourself to something nice. if you haven't been invested over the past few years, you should devise a plan for doing so as a bear market/market downturns are the best times to invest.
