We went through exactly this 2 months ago, I motivated her to buy Iphone 13 mini, first Apple products between both of us ever.

We both regret it at this point sourly, its a properly shitty overpriced device with decent (but not extraordinary) photos. Compared to any average android for half that price its - fugly and looks cheaply, too thick, too thick black borders on screen, properly fugly and dysfunctional front notch camera (faceid doesn't work half the time, ie when its dimmer, with masks etc), you will lose pattern unlock for good, there is no fingerprint scanner under the display, battery is average (meaning really not impressive despite thickness like its 2015). Apple supports only basic bluetooth protocol so any properly good headphones will have slightly worse sound. iOS is fast but rather poorly architected (I understand a lot of this is down to what folks are used to, but stuff she showed me that annoys her is outright poor engineering and step down from current Android in usability).

The way its done and architected insults your intellect constantly, "we know better what you want/need than you, and you have no say/options".

You can argue its not for power users, but my wife is exactly that - just a normal user who just wants to use the phone. For long term android user devices like comparable Samsung galaxy is simply much nicer device to use. She likes her 5 year old Samsung much more than new Apple. So much for wow factor.

At this point we both regret getting it, she for paying for it and me for recommending it. The only benefit is decent resale value. Since this is mostly US forum I expect to be grilled for this, but this is proper long term android user's point of view, who gave recently Apple device a chance and regrets it.
Ammonia as fertilizer is the only ammonia economy that makes sense; hydrogen economy doesn't make much sense either. Methane economy is the optional long-term solution for chemical energy sources, just CO2(atm) + H2 (water) -> CH4.

Ammonia combustion generates NOx smog, and ammonia is pretty toxic to store and transport as a gas. For fertilizer it's stored as (NH4)(NO3) or similar.

Hydrogen production has a few major use cases, but replacing natural gas is not one of them. Iron reduction, nitrogen reduction, carbon reduction, in industrial settings, is about it.
Files from Anarchist's Cookbook were always a hit with the kids. Imagine all the rebellion and havoc you could cause! I tried some of the recipes and nothing ever really worked. But it was a lot of fun to read.
It's certainly possible for the boss to base their evaluation on mistaken beliefs. For example, they might think Employee A is largely responsible for a delay in releasing Feature X when in fact it was Employee B.

I have to say though, this whole discussion is a fascinating insight into what appears to be the thought process of many managers and/or founders.
It is expensive and, in my opinion, insecure.
I tried to open a 90GB file once (on a system with 16GB RAM), which it didn't like very much. It didn't actually crash, I just gave up on it before it completed loading the file (I suspect it may actually have worked eventually, utilising swap - but I imagine it would have been unusably slow). I think for such large files you really need an editor that doesn't buffer the entire file into RAM and loads chunks in from disk on demand.

That said, if your file is more reasonably sized (I've opened 7GB files no problem) then the performance and feature set you get is impressive. You can get instant scrolling to anywhere in the file, full syntax highlighting, find and replace, multiple cursors, etc all with reasonable performance. I find it does lag a little when making edits - especially with multiple cursors - but it's still quite usable.
There are some consistency issues with multidimensional arrays versus dictionaries, so BQN will eventually support these as system functionality. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31367355.

I think you have Q's transformation backwards (a table is a "flipped" dictionary of lists, that is, a list of dictionaries all with the same keys, represented as a dictionary of lists). Obviously it's good for databases, but I don't think every field benefits from this representation. With objects, users can implement such a thing for themselves.

I have no doubt this is really cool, but I could not get the website to work properly with an ad blocker.

I had been nostalgic about Vanilla WoW for a long time when Classic came out. I went on an RP server, and had a fantastic time leveling to 60. You didn't even have to RP yourself but most people on there didn't minmax at all. So I think it is possible if like-minded people get together.
You are 100% correct. My mistake. I was thinking of something else for some reason. That's what I get for trying to socialize before I've finished my morning coffee.
I don't get why some conservatives hate having marketing that's targeted to different groups. Oh no, there's a bank that isn't gonna be hostile to the gay couple when it comes to getting their first mortgage or whatever else seems to get a rise out of them. I'd be more interested in things like a bank that still isn't dependent on using excel worksheets to generate letters (Wells Fargo Mortgage division at least in 2015 was doing that when I was talking to a recruiter then for job opportunities).
Yes. This is the first I've heard of it and I've got a ton of scripts that are probably going to break.

Sounds like another bureaucracy that would end up just like the folks they’re policing. Another system gamed, influence peddling and etc .
If they are bad they don’t deserve equity. Don’t let them vest.

Fire him immediately, pay him the fraction of his vesting that he’s earned without regards to cliffs. Everyone will view it as fair, and simultaneously be relieved that this guy is out. Try to fire faster next time (easier said than done, I know).

There was a talk a couple years back at Djangocon where a company was using both flask and Django together. It was a transition for them from flask to django, but it wasn't hard to do. Probably doesn't make a lot of sense for most projects, but it is possible because Django doesn't get in the way.
As a sibling explains, it's important to understand the ground state. The ground state assumption is that citizens have all these rights (speech, arms, religion, etc). Narrowing or abrogating these rights is where laws come in.

The opposition at the time to the Bill of Rights was that it would confuse people into thinking the rights came out of the constitution instead of from nature.

The only practical thing I can see is "safety". Maybe a way for law enforcement can change the plates to flash red and blue when the car in question is being looked for like in an amber alert or general warrant? Something to that effect?
I enjoy these very much, and for different reasons: vim, kate, vscode.

On windows, it is also vim, vscode and notepad++.

Back in the olden days, I enjoyed UltraEdit32 a LOT, it also allowed me to open files over FTP and edit them online, which was so cool for doing PHP and HTML, just edit, save, and refresh the browser to see your changes, a feedback loop of about one second.
Obsidian 1.0 – Personal knowledge base app
Cofounder of Obsidian here. We're excited to announce Obsidian 1.0 is live!

Obsidian 1.0 introduces two big changes: a UI overhaul and an new tabbed interface. We've put a lot of care into making the app more approachable and more accessible. We've also prioritized using more native OS features for menus, windows, and many details.

We got our first private beta users from a comment under a HN thread about org-roam [1], and our waiting list was an innocent Google Form. Good times!

Our initial launch on HN was over two years ago [2], when terms like "second brain" and "tools for thought" were still in their infancy. Since then, the landscape has continued to evolve and new ideas are sprouting in the space every day. Obsidian has always embraced its "hacker" nature and thrives off its community of tinkerers. We now have over 670 plugins that push the envelope of what's possible in the app.

We want to continue to foster that same hacker spirit, but at the same time, we want to provide a polished product that can stand on its own. In the last several months, we've expanded the team and refocused ourselves on providing a product that's polished and easy to use.

We have big plans to continue making Obsidian the best and most refined thought-processing app for decades to come. Obsidian 1.0 is just the start!

Special credits go to Stephan Ango (@kepano) for the redesign and Liam Cain for tirelessly polishing this release.

It also sounds like a great way to harass people. Don't like your new black neighbor? Just force him out by buying his house for the tax price. Ideally he'll have a little more money than he started with, but I could see other social institutions, like trouble obtaining another loan, preventing the re-homing of "undesirables".
> A large chunk of experts see China as the likely next world superpower. The USA, current world superpower, probably can't prevent that happening, but they can make moves to delay it.

We'll see.

Lots of people thought Japan would overtake the US as well, and that didn't exactly pan out.

China has some real problems between the legacy of their one child policy and their current real estate investment crisis. It's certainly possible that they overcome those issues, but it's far from guaranteed.
Starline is very much under the radar but I think is a much closer, and realistic "technology of the future". From the sounds of people who've tested it it's like looking in a mirror with the person in the mirror on the other side of the world.

I’ve been using grep -E for a long time, I thought I remember it being from a warning from egrep or something.. can’t really remember for sure, though.

Either way, I don’t see what the big deal is, just add an

alias egrep='grep -E'

If you’re worried about your non-interactive shell scripts,

shopt -s expand_aliases; alias egrep='grep -E'

and you can move on with your life.

EDIT: I must’ve been warned by shellcheck

EDIT2: here’s another one liner with one caveat being updates (also needs to be run as root)

# unalias grep && unalias egrep && cp "$(command -v grep)" "$(dirname "$(command -v grep)")/egrep"

EDIT3: just realized for most this will only ever come up in scripts because many distros already add alias egrep='grep -E' to your shell aliases (~/.bash_aliases, ~/.zshrc, etc). Thus you may only need the shopt -s expand_aliases.
Complexity. Specifically the complexity of the framework vs the complexity of your need.

Often frameworks/libraries solve the whole problem. For example Oauth. If you want to provide "login with {Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, etc}. then you must deal with the differences and oddities of each implementation of the service. And all the different modes of "login with" and then keep up to date with changes.

The difference is the same as that between buying a shovel and an excavator. Excavators are fun - at least until you have to fix them - so if you can afford one there is a temptation.

Complexity in software is the product killer. The cost of maintaining ten excavator type solutions can kill your product and your productivity, and can require you to create a maintenance department.

Libraries and Frameworks are always a temptation and often are useful, but understanding the full cost and all the downsides increasingly makes what seems like an obvious choice not so good.

But what if you need only a very basic flow for Github? Do you need that complexity? You may need to expand your solution, so
> what's the point of vesting at all?

I think usually it's intended to incentivize the employee to not quit, rather than to not be fired.

The “lost” tax revenue would be recouped via increased marginal income/sales taxes. But it is politically impossible because an important voting bloc is already getting disproportionate benefits and reducing their disproportion Jan of a way to win elections.
>Your comment just confirms that, as I said, it does more than that – it also adds a reference to the object.

It simply evaluates to the address of the object, just as it does in C. if you think the & operator is doing something in addition to this, I think that must just be based on a misunderstanding.

I am not quite sure what you mean by 'adding a reference' to the object.

Let's take this function:

func foo() *int {
var x int
return &x
}

All that happens is the following:

- An integer is allocated (and initialized to zero).

- The address of this integer is returned.

If we dig into the implementation, we'll see that the integer is allocated on the heap. As far as Go's language semantics are concerned, everything is allocated on the heap and left to the GC to clean up.

As an implementation detail, values that provably don't outlive their containing functions are (sometimes) stack allocated. As x outlives its containing function, it won't be stack allocated. That's it. There is no special operation of 'adding a reference' or 'extending a lifetime'. Nor does the compiler even analyze lifetimes except for the purposes of applying an optional optimisation which has no effect on the semantics of the program. If you turned this optimisation off (which you totally could) then there'd be no need for the compiler to worry about x's lifetime at all.
Why?

Making friends with VCs before soliciting them for money is a smart move.
Someone came up with an idea to make money and you're getting it if you like it or not.

Welcome to corporate America.
Not really that helpfull: if there's a camera that managed to catch the incident then it will film you before you hit someone, and you can only change the license plate after. It might make police chase harder, but they still have evidence to you use against you in court. Unless you have some AI that can predict accident 10 seconds in advance, but then it could hit the breaks instead of just changing the license plate.
You forgot to do the demonstrativeness, just saying it doesn't make it so.
I raised a few $M with just 10 slides during the VC frenzy last year. I agree with the post but I view this from a social angle. The entire VC industry is driven by BullShit. VCs raise money from LPs (pensions, rich people) by claiming they have deal flow (they can get into the next big thing) and an “investing thesis” (some BS about the future, usually a bombastic spin on a current fad). VCs are finance bros that believe their own BS.

Your pitch should fit the current investing zeitgeist. If you pitch some oddball idea then you need to move your audience from 0 to 100% in 1 hr. If you pitch “AI generated metaverse for basketweaving” then the background hype has sold half your story. But also, VCs need other VCs to co-invest. They need to explain this investment to their LPs. It’s easier to pitch AI nonsense than something truly novel.

Every VC wants to see Matt’s pitch because he’s got a great resume. VCs don’t invest alone, so they will pass the deck around to their VC network. But it’s also sharing deal flow: I send you this, please send me the decks you’ve got.

VCs like to keep their options open. Even if they hate your idea, if A16Z invests then they’ll want to get back in. Or if you succeed then they’ll want to get into the next round. I had a VC offer a very low valuation. When I got 10X more elsewhere, they called back that they wanted in. The numbers are all BS: valuations, seed size, etc. Remember, their goal is to invest as cheaply as possible. Your goal is to sell as little of your company as possible.

Strangely, BS artists love other BS artists. Adam Neumann is a God-tier bullshit messiah with sociopathic self-confidence. It’s no wonder that he raised billions after the self-dealing disaster at WeWork. Matt is right: confidence is insanely important. Your company is a $1T opportunity that will change the course of humanity. (In fact, outrageous confidence is important everywhere. Humans are just really gullible fools.)
Right. But this is only a proof in a given theory.
If ZFC was consistent and complete, it would have had complete dominance over the notion of truth, even if it had some quirks (as the joke goes, "The axiom of choice is obviously true, the well-ordering principle obviously false, and who can tell about Zorn’s lemma?"). It is not the case, so there are competing theories with different consequences, and the world is more interesting because of that.

What I'm trying to get at is that mathematical truth people care about goes beyond provability, and that is the case in good part because of incompleteness.
This year has been a rough one for layoffs. In my now former company, one thing that helped keep survivors feeling better about the company was that it treated laid-off employees reasonably well, including accelerated vesting. It'll cost you the equity, but demonstrating that you treat people well will help the rest of the team.
I learned about the deprecation from ShellCheck [1] that warns if using egrep instead of `grep -E`. That tool deprogrammed many of my bad habits. I had never seen any discussions about it otherwise.

"Human societies typically exhibit gender identities and gender roles that distinguish between masculine and feminine characteristics and prescribe the range of acceptable behaviours and attitudes for their members based on their sex.".. Typically? Nope.

"The most common categorisation is a gender binary of men and women.[422] Many societies recognise a third gender,[423] or less commonly a fourth or fifth.[424][425] In some other societies, non-binary is used as an umbrella term for a range of gender identities that are not solely male or female.".. Many societies recognise a third gender? Nope.

Just some hyperbolic mischosen words right?

I arrived at a somewhat similar grid https://florian.geierstanger.org/blog/css-layout-grid
I understand that it's uncomfortable on a personal level (looking at it from both sides), and you might wanna consider the optics for company politics.

On a purely mechanics level I am somewhat confused: If the setup is such, that firing the employee can lead to cutting them out of the vesting at this stage, then that's because it has explicitly been built into the vesting mechanism. If that is not an option that you are actually willing to exercise, or if the employee is not okay with this being used as mechanism against them, why was this contract set up and signed by both parties?

If there's no good answer to that, revising the system in a way that everyone involved feels actually okay with seems like a good next step. Since I am not all that deep into vesting mechanisms, I am happy to learn why this is might be a dilemma situation that has no generally acceptable solution.
