yes, on both sides. How much a human is willing to pay, and how much a human thinks they can get.

If your point is simply that businesses are choosing to maximize profit, that of course is correct. It always has been unless you are a non-profit or state owned enterprise.

The salient question is what conditions changed in the economy so that they can increase prices.

It isnt like they were running as charities before.
I've used a tiny subset of vim for about 20 years that sits just above plain vi. It has been a very comfortable place to be. And it works well on Windows with gVim as mentioned.
Political memory is so fleeting. The bill was stripped of any oversight by the allies of business.
As an aside, I've been trying to learn basic GIS with PostGIS and QGIS and it's been quite frustrating. I had a dataset of roads which were broken up into short segments, which I wanted to merge back together based on a key. Theoretically that's a single simple operation, in practice it was getting hung up on something I couldn't understand and it took all afternoon. My usual practice of JIT doc reading wasn't working well, too many unfamiliar terms and missing fundamentals. If you have any recommendations for books or docs I'd love to hear them.
Agreed, thanks for posting so I didn't have to.

Feels like a one-man show/passion project, which I enjoy.
I think this is wildly off base.

Lots of them don’t want to have kids. The government has many ways to influence the public. But I don’t think it’s true to say that they have so much control over their populace that they could do anything like double their population in 20 years, let alone 2.

People in China are just people, right? Many of them don’t want to have kids. What’s the government gonna do?

Of course, hypothetically, the government blocks people from leaving the country and literally forces them to procreate but that’s getting a bit imaginative (it would be turning the China that exists today into something very different).

Realistically I think the government is worried about their demographic problem and is using every reasonable tool in their arsenal to attempt to address it.
This is a cute theory but in reality it's far more likely to be usual government malaise, laziness, and disregard for long term consequences than some organized secret push by millionaires with pull in the government.
> The title of this piece is what he wishes he had known, but it's not really clear what the true lessons are.

he restates the lesson at the end: he thought that raising money would be like a grant submission, not realizing that it would be more collaborative (after all you're gonna have the investors along for a while, unlike a grant agency).

There were a few other small lessons too (e.g. your deck will be passed around, which used to be a no-no in the "old days")
R is missing, and it comes up here.
TikTok. They post the full math toward the bottom. TikTok took 69% off the top, the money transfer shop took 10% of the remainder, and the middleman got a 35% cut of what was left, leaving the family with $19 of the original $106 donation
There’s a difference between people complaining about PPP as a concept (which I don’t think many are?) and complaining about PPP abuse, funds being given to companies that were not impacted by shut downs, straight up fraud, and people taking PPP money and buying lambos.
Do you use many Emacs packages? My Emacs dashboard on Windows says "120 packages loaded in 22.7 seconds". On a ThinkPad X230 running Linux, the same config starts in around 2 seconds.

I will say that 'runemacs -Q' on a few-years-old Dell desktop does start in about 2 seconds.
If you are a "noob", barrier to entry for getting a remote job is higher. No one knows what track record you have. No one knows what are you capable of yet. No one knows if you can work remotely and learn at the same time. No one knows if you have the discipline and mental capacity to work remotely, alone.

So, you have more work to do. You need to be better than your peers who are also applying to similar jobs. You need to "Show, Don't tell".

- Build a project. Put in on Github. A real project, not some copy paste "React Template that everyone has from a bootcamp". If you cannot build one from scratch, contribute to an Open Source project that you really like

- Build a personal website and write about your learning experience. No shortcuts here. Again, how do I know who you are with all the noise ? "Show, don't tell"

- Reach out to people/companies you want to work for ideally. Be focussed and make a list. Imagine if you could work for any company. What company will that be ? Can you make a list of may be 10 ? Then reach out to their founder (if startup), hiring manager (if a bit larger company) etc. Hustle and get their information (linkedin etc).

- The more you can show, the more chances you have.
How the hell can they justify this habit of telling a developer what they can and can't work on in their own time, or making any claim to it afterwards just because someone worked at company X during the same time they made side project Y? The whole tendency seems grossly onerous and unjustifiable to me.
They are not a charity. But the time to fire was months earlier. The failure of the founder to do that is on them. When you’re weeks away from a vest (under a month is what OP says), to me, that’s your fault. Again, a senior executive or senior leader would be paid out in almost every instance. Why should it be different for the first hire who took a chance on you and your startup?

If we’re talking 2 or 3 months, fine. But if we’re taking 3 weeks or less? Sorry, you waited too long and the employee shouldn’t pay for your poor choices. If they were good enough to stick around because you needed a warm body and it was too hard to hire, then they should be good enough to earn the 11.5 months or whatever they’ve put into your company.
> the cash would just flow into whatever could be still be bought, probably housing

How would this decrease the value of the currency?

It would certainly reduce asset availability, but— to use your example —there's an absurd surplus of housing nationwide.
Copying is how China and Japan became industrial powerhouses. There is no shame in copying, except where you have been tricked into copying something useless.
What tools and/or services do you recommend to startups looking to access the global market for employees?
Well the argument that "prisoners should be expected to do the same things non-prisoners do" really breaks down when you acknowledge that their circumstances are fundamentally different from those outside of prison.

And as for why freedom to choose their job should be different, we sort of agreed as a society quite some time ago that slavery is wrong.
> everyone acquitted may still be guilty?

The standard for acquitting is reasonable doubt. You're presumed innocent until proven guilty, so in theory you aren't necessarily required to prove your innocence beyond a shadow of a doubt. While it may work differently in practice at times, that idea IS actually a great one.

So yes, it may still be possible that someone who is acquitted is in fact guilty, but the prosecution isn't allowed a second chance.
One big difference is that it works on desktop and mobile.

> I guess the target is not directly developers when looking at their paid sync addon, because I would simply put this into a free closed gitlab repo.

You could, and people do, but there's a bit less friction with the built-in sync.
> There's no privacy issue

There is a real privacy issue if online services will now force you to store your "passwords" on a device - whether it be in your phone or a password manager.
How does it compare to Clickhouse regarding speed?
Brave laws in general are needed.

One of the problems is labor shortages.

We've had policies that have led to the highest prison population and incarceration rate in the western world. There's been little effort on making those in prison employable. 2 million prisoners, many non violent stuck there unable to help with the massive problem society has post COVID. We could fix this to everyone's benefit.

Daycare. It allows a small number of adults to enable a much larger number to work. There's no federally funded program towards this yet it's a massive societal force multiplier. Especially for single parents.

It's amazing to think we have corporations complaining about labor shortages who also back politicians that promote policies that create labor shortages.
I think the fact that it's lower on the number of posts indicates that there's less content about it, but people are more engaged (and posts more popular) when there is a story involving it.

Also, as other commenters noted, this doesn't catch all stories (just the ones with a specific phrase) to minimize false positives. Although for OCaml, the false positives would be pretty rare.
Looking at the Alpine docker file(s) for Postgres you might be able to use the one for the release candidate and set en environment variable of PGVERSION=15.0 which should use https://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/source/v15.0/ here.

You would need to figure out what the package name is on Debian (if it even exists yet?) it's currently set to ENV PG_VERSION 15~rc2-1.pgdg110+1

YMMV.
Is there anything like Galera for PostreSQL? I find it very convenient for small-scale HA and redundancy and it's quite easy to get going.
Greek here.

This is achieved while in lots of areas locals deny building of any sort of clean energy source, claiming it will mess up the natural beauty of the scenery, will mess up birds, etc.

Greece could have a lot more renewables if it wasn't for the idiotic 'resistance' of its residents.
You said:

> No legs was just a symbol for how bad the whole thing is in general:

That isn't terribly clear to me at all. "How bad" in what way? What is "the whole thing"? The links you provided are comparing two apps. I presume you prefer one to the other. I'm guessing the reason is visual..? But I'm not sure.

I was actually hoping for some more clarity from you.
This just speaks to how absolutely terrible the NYC commercial real estate market is.
I do feel that contempt. Just today my blog got a HN frontpage [1] place and the ensuing discussion called me everything from "stupid" to overly dramatic to just plain wrong.

I like that though. It keeps me sharp. And forces me to re-think and back up my statements. I'm pretty sure I would've just plain /dev/nulled quite a few of the comments there where they on my blog.

Agreed. The amount of deadlocks merged causes in MS SQL is pretty insane.

We tried to use it for "upsert" type capabilities and even that would cause weird deadlocks.

Postgres already has the `Insert foo on conflict do update` type syntax which I think is generally better.
If I grant it notification access permissions.

My launcher (Niagara) does that already to display notifications in popups connected to app icons.

Notification processing is one of Android's greatest features over iOS.
What are people's experiences with static analyzers at companies? Many people I have spoken with have either never heard of them, or expressed no interest. Usually those same people use dynamic languages like Ruby or Python.
I’m guessing they don’t want to put stuff in the areas around runways, because that’s where planes go when something bad happens. I wouldn’t want to be escaping a plane directly into a chopped-up field of HV solar panels.
I think you are putting together two concepts that are actually different: "backend instance per customer" and "deploy the service in the customer's infrastructure".

I don't have much to say about the 2nd one, but my team does the first one for our (internal) customers, so we deploy and manage in our own accounts a whole service stack for each of our customers. It's a nightmare.

We are going to do some rearchitecture work next year to move away from it, because it drains so much of our time in operational load.

One example of a major pain point that we have is encountering random failures in 3rd party services, such as AWS. For a more classic service that you deploy 2 or 3 times a week, if CloudFormation deployments fail once every thousand deployments for random errors, you'll have one failure per year. Well, we deploy thousands of instances of our service 2-3 times a week. So we have failures every single time we deploy.

Oncall is a nightmare (I don't love oncall anymore, I created my login in my previous team) because we just fix a tsunami of similar tickets that are each from a different instance of our service, for a single customer, but often with a different root cause.

We probably have half of our headcount dedicated to initiatives that wouldn't need to exist if we had a more classic 1 service = 1 instance approach.

Just don't do it.
Sounds like beggars as a service.
The sad part is it may very well be true, at least I don't know. The issue is, if you put in effort to make valuable contributions, and your manager doesn't care at all about them, and harp on the fact that your metrics aren't met so you'll get 0 RSU, 1% Bonus, and 2% hike, well then things like this will happen. Which is not wrong, but is eternally sad.

The smart people which solved problems and made Meta/Amazon/MS/Apple such giants, that kind of generation might never reach these companies due to these things.

I maybe wrong, but who knows.

Some context: egrep and fgrap are implemented as wrapper scripts that look like this:

#!/bin/sh
exec grep -E "$@"

28 bytes.

Now consider the cost/benefit between two options:

1. Maintain these wrapper scripts forever.

2. Update all scripts in the world that use these to use the flags instead, eventually removing the wrappers.

What is the cost of option 1? It's essentially zero. No changes means no engineering work. Some hard drive space is wasted, but TBH you can probably buy a single hard drive with enough capacity to store all copies of these files that will ever exist. Perhaps some people's sense of cleanliness will be offended by the continued existence of non-standard commands but it's hard to demonstrate any actual cost from that.

What is the cost of option 2? Many thousands of hours of engineering labor, just to update scripts. But that's just the beginning: There will likely be production outages when the script are finally removed, since inevitably some uses will be missed. That will cost money. It will also lead to a general increase in fear of software updates, leading even more people to run outdated installations that are vulnerable to security flaws. Security breaches will cost more money.

It seems clear this change will cost millions of dollars, whereas keeping things as they were would have trivial cost. Therefore, this change should not have been made, and should be reverted.

Reasoning like this is why widely-used platforms simply never remove "deprecated" APIs:

* Java still contains APIs deprecated 25 years ago in version 1.1.

* Linux's ABI is famously stable, with Linus verbally abusing anyone who even suggests a backwards-incompatible change. (I don't approve of the abuse part.)

* The web platform is backwards-compatible even with objectively bad JavaScript design decisions made by Netscape in the 90's.

* C libraries still include `gets()` even though any use of it implies a security vulnerability. (Though we hope any remaining users are not running in security-sensitive use cases...)

* The Windows API is full of trash but you can still run executables built in the 90's.

"Deprecated" was never supposed to mean "will go away". It was always supposed to mean only "there's a better way to do this".
If it has been going on for months, they should have already been on a PIP and fired. That doesn’t seem to be the case here.

If a PIP was in place, fine. Don’t pay out the vest. But if they weren’t because of your bad decisions as a leader, that’s on the founder.
Thanks for doing this! Can a person on H1b work remotely in the US for their own company outside the US? They'd pay taxes on any international income. Also what if they didn't work but own the company and receive income?
What options does an Indian engineer stuck in the green card backlog have? Do they perpetually continue renewing their H1-B? Does this mean that they are somewhat limited in terms of being able to switch jobs?
The gist of many these sorts of videos, is to do a familiar activity but with steps that don’t make sense. This starts your brain’s little curiosity/real-time-explanation loop.

Like the videos of a guy lighting a firework, shoving it in a tube, filling the tube with a potatoes and then covering that with putty. They catch me for a few seconds every time, just slightly longer than a video that made sense would; and I think that extra second or two is all they need to jump up the algorithm’s ratings a little.
I used to use VS Code for this purpose, but it's becoming more and more like an IDE and doesn't quite have the startup time that I would want anymore.

VS Code on my Mac starts in about 2s, and that's with half a dozen plugins and a couple of language servers. That could be quicker but finding a new editor seems like overkill if it's similar for you. I suspect the startup time could be optimized if you really wanted Moar Speeds.

Plus, it's a bit annoying when I already have a project open as it'll open as a tab and look as if it's part of that project if that makes sense.

There's a setting called "Open Files In New Window" that's defaulted to Off that might solve this.

For this compensatory damage award, that probably depends a lot on whether the trial judge and later the state appeals court think that the numbers returned by the jury for daamages are reasonably supported from the evidence, its possible either at trial or on appeal for the judgement to be different from tbe jury verdict. (There are also punitive damages to be determined later.) I haven’t followed the evidence closely enough to have an opinion on that.

Well, I think the grandparent is thinking of charities whose owners rake in millions; the expectation is that people working for a charity do it for charity, moreso than making a lot of money; everyone should get a fair wage, of course, but it does seem like a lot of the people at the top of a charity earn exorbitant wages.

Then there's where the money goes to. Is it a charity that does good work, or is the money going into people lining their pockets? I believe famously that relief funds for Haiti, New Orleans, or the tsunami were mismanaged, stories like millions being donated but only a dozen houses being built. I found [0] which breaks down where the record 6+ billion dollar that went to the tsunami relief ended up at.

Exactly. It seemed to me as if the author originally thought with a framework they don't ever have to think about the architecture, but of course it's still possible to shoot yourself in the foot and end up with a tangled unrefactorable mess. The article channels misplaced disappointment.

Give it some thought and properly encapsulate your core business logic and you won't have that much trouble migrating to another framework or a custom solution if need be (especially easy if your current framework has good documentation, which Django definitely does).
Those tariffs are also a joke in and of itself. As we can already from the oil price cap idea you can only enforce things when the world plays along, but looks increasingly like the global south is fed up by these dictates. So good luck enforcing carbon caps and tariffs when the majority of the world population doesn't play along.

You can still have them, but ultimately it's the people in western societies that will pay the price with their own pensions and social services gradually degrading.
Hi Peter! For H1B visa holders, is there any way to start a company and remain in charge (whether as CEO or not)? From what I find online you can only be employed as a H1B holder, but if I start a company I would want to have full control of it.
The H1B situation in the US has been described as very "luck" based to me, and some have called it "a mess". Is that still the case? How much does it actually depend on luck, or other factors such as country of origin, occupation, etc.?
And no matter how many times you click "Not interested" on the livestream, you will keep getting it every so often. I also get the crying kid with cards, sleep livestream, and deformed baby one all the time.

Oh and you forgot the one where they have a calculator app open set to 999,999,998 or something and if they just get two more gifts they will see what happens when you get to one billion, but they are always so awkwardly slow and keep decrementing the number so it never reaches it.
Not really, let’s say the charity is for providing mosquito nets against malaria. The expectation is that any donation goes to providing more nets and not to pay for expenses and wages.
And to me, the cutoff very clearly seems to be under a month. Weeks.
Interesting – possibly normal image links don't work but their embeds do?
In my experience, Apple was not like this. I was on a user-facing team, and we hardly looked at metrics related to our product's usage. In some cases we didn't even have meaningful metrics to look at.
Would this be to employ these individuals in the U.S. or remotely?
>If worldwide carbon caps and tariffs become a thing, the oil and gas in the ground suddenly becomes nearly worthless if you can't use it.

2nd and 3rd world countries are going to bathe in cheap oil when/if the 1st world bans it.

As always with TikTok, your experience will vary based on the videos you watch, favorite, save, and the creators you follow. What appears for any given individual is highly tailored to the things they seem to find interesting.

I, in contrast, get gamers (kind of like a lo-fi twitch channel), accounts I follow, and the odd musician. I have honestly never seen any of the live streams you mention.
Thanks for sharing. I feel less silly for suggesting this now (as root):

Hi,

If a startup is incorporated in one of the states from overseas, can founders be eligible for work-visas (I remember reading that an investment of more than USD500K may allow eligibility for some visas (F1?) but don't know if this is the case for startups, and besides, there were some requirements in terms of jobs creation if I remember well).

Thanks.
You can technically pipe to streams other than &1 and &2, so you could use
