That might be a good idea. But I’m not sure your example is a good one.

Repealing a budget law only adds paperwork and cost and complexity. It’s not like these kinds laws have an ongoing cost.

I wonder if one issue is just perception: people often see laws as “ongoing rules” when they can often just be, “on this date congress agreed to these terms and conditions for some thing.”

Every single codebase doing anything nontrivial is mess. Show me a code base that you can marvel at it's beauty, elegance, and how neat and tidy everything is organized and one of two things will be true about it.

1. It has never touched the real world, real hardware, or real users.

2. All the mess is hidden in some dependencies that handle the integration points with the outside world.

You cannot escape the fact that the world is full of sharp edge cases, no perfect abstraction exists, all models of the real world are approximate, there is no architecture that survives changes to business requirements, and all assumptions made about the environment where your code runs will eventually be false, which makes a mess out of code that was once nice and tidy.
> Point to data, and folks still try to justify why unions bad (anecdotes, deflection, etc.).

As with most thing, unions have both good points and bad points. Your comment reads like it's saying "we can show they are objectively better with data, but (mistaken) people still try to justify why they're bad". It comes across, to me at least, as intentionally misleading.
I think they will raise rates until we get into a severe recession and employers cease hiring and start firing. The feds only real knob is controlling rates and borrowing.

The issue is when there is no ad-free tier.

Cable TV started out ad-free. The content was paid for by subscribers. But that wasn't enough. Now cable TV is just as ad-ridden as broadcast TV.

Even Spotify will randomly shove an ad in my face when all I want to do is navigate to my playlist, and I'm a paying subscriber. I hate the way it interrupts my flow so much that I'm probably going to cancel them in the next month or so.
Millenium literally just jeeded a python dev. I solved all the algo problems except for one where the interviewer joined late and very poorly specified the problem.

They are a huge fund so obviously they can decide whatever they want but it was kind of a joke when they kept adding additional interviewing steps at the last minute.

Compare the number of people killed by other engineers and the number killed by software engineers. Even on a daily basis. Software Engineers are the only true professionals here. When they cannot make something that won't kill someone, they simply don't. Meanwhile, all other engineering disciplines accept a fairly high risk of killing.

To put it simply, this reflects an amateur understanding of frameworks. I know where the author is coming from, because I've been there/done that/tried that. It sounds nice on paper, but experience has shown that this is a poor way to approach software development.

I see this kind of mindset with developers who think only about code, and not about solving problems at scale with other people.
That's from the state of DevOps surveys. Those aren't causal and define performance oddly.

I'd speculate that companies that benefit from that sort of standardization probably don't care about blindly maximizing deploys/day (maybe nightly plus emergencies is enough) or minimizing time from coding started to deployment finished (maybe a better starting point is when the request is first made, or maybe they're optimizing for development throughout instead).
I remember people saying this in a PHP days and almost without fail their code would be littered with security bugs. They don't a template language, and there would be a XSS vulnerability. They don't need an ORM, and there would be a SQL injection vulnerability. They don't need a form library, and there would be a CSRF vulnerability.

Now-a-days there are less security vulnerabilities and more buggy messes powered by Express.JS. API's with shitty query string parsers than crash the server.

The average developer should just be using a framework.

I think this is a nice feature. I travel a lot. Having a pi or vm hosting my adblocking resolver will force every request to traverse hetzner in Germany because that’s where I have my stuffs. By using Nextdns I will always have a resolver in the country where I am since they are distributed over the world. Cuts down on the latency and geolocation aware stuffs won’t go bananas and think I’m in Germany.

Ofc, as soon as I enable the use of exit nodes I will be back in Germany again. But I don’t always need exit nodes. Split can be sufficient and this solved one of the issues I had with my use case.

You'd think that basic income was a no-brainer on both sides of the aisle.

* On the left hand, you don't just get some level of control over maximum income, but also can just directly set an income-floor. What more do you want?

* On the right hand, for one you're basically giving every entrepreneur a "free" ramen budget for their startup to build on top of. At the same time you can also abolish quite a number of subsidies, reducing the costs of bureaucratic administration.
That's fine, but it's not responsive to the question I asked you.

What does this opinion of mine have to do with Alex Jones? If you're suggesting that all unusual ideas are somehow adjacent to each other, I don't think much of your categorical skills.
Sure, when you're right next to it, but I suppose if you're away from home and using your VPN to query your pihole, NextDNS might be faster. But yes I found the dig quite out of place, but for the reason that everyone I know who runs a pihole is not to run their own DNS resolver but (1) to block ads (2) not send more data than required to other services (a strike against NextDNS) (3) tinker, have more control (4) learn

Is that likelihood accounting for the money it takes to target (aka means test)? Not attacking, seems like you’ve thought about this more than me
> How could it possibly have lower latency than something that's literally on your local network?

I believe, what they mean is, NextDNS, given its global footprint, is lower latency than pi-hole in your local network connected via Tailscale over public Internet.
I rarely see people who can touch type quickly on keyboards these days. Even members of my generation can't seem to do it anymore.
I'm being a bit facetious, but "we have bugs in our code, therefore we should write more code to prevent it" seems like the wrong direction to take :)

Yes, certainly we can write courts, injunctions, reversals, etc into code, but that's massively increasing the surface area for bugs. Oops, a hacker just injuncted the entire network and now the entire network is frozen.

Courts exist, to a certain extent, so that an impartial human can take a look at the situation and act according to thousands of pages of laws and hundreds of years of precedent. Humans are good at thinking like other humans, so we usually have pretty good intuition around what a judge will say and the limited possible outcomes from there, whereas the same really can't be said for computers.

Oops, robojudge just awarded all the money in the network to the hacker, too bad.
This is what I don't quite get. Surely to trial this properly people should get the guaranteed income for life. I don't quite see how one can draw many conclusions from such a short timeframe when people know it is going to end.
> I'm not free to keep my changes ... I'm prevented from licensing that code how I choose.

You seem to believe that your rights trumps everyone else's. You are ignoring that it is not just your code.

If somebody has released the source code under the GPL license, they are the original copyright holder(s) giving you permission to reuse the code under certain conditions (as outlined in the GPL license). They choose the GPL license because they believe GPL protects their rights, and the open source philosophy best, as the GPL license ensures that the code they created will always be open source when changed and distributed by other coders.

Instead of complaining about other people's choice of license (GPL or MIT), think instead of how you would like your open source code to be used by others and what license you would choose to achieve those goals. You are free to do whatever you want with your original code and thus can license it however you want. But once you start reusing other people's code, their rights and beliefs also matter. If you don't subscribe to their belief, then obviously you have no choice but to not use their code.
Yeah, I don't know what the Google/Jibe/carrier relationships are, but Google made an exception for Samsung[1], which I suppose could've been carrier approved too. Looking more at it, it seems like Google Messages is still the RCS client, and it's exposing messages to Samsung's app.

Honestly, it's kind of hard to blame Signal and/or Google if carriers are involved here. I mostly use Signal and Element, so if those two had a single client, that'd be fine. But, I think Signal probably still favors a centralized system, and they have added ongoing call transfers from and to mobile/desktop, and now Stories and the money transfer (not a fan), so I suppose it's up to the users to choose.

I have been doing nasal rinses for a couple of years since I found out I was immunocompromised (CVID) on the recommendation of a Mayo Clinic doctor. It makes sense to me that if they are testing for Covid with nasal swabs because it starts there, then doing regular sinus flushes will help prevent a small exposure from taking root. I use this kit, $9, every time I'm around others like at the store, etc (and still wear masks):

I saw a post here recently from a guy who has been doing nasal rinses since the 70's and hasn't been sick in 50 years!

It sounds good on paper, and I used to be in favor of it pre-COVID, but now that a bunch of places basically did it, it's become clear that it leads to way too many people choosing not to work.
On the other hand, both sides of the aisle can dislike it too:

> * On the left hand, you don't just get some level of control over maximum income, but also can just directly set an income-floor. What more do you want?

"UBI gives people dollars but takes away their free education and food assistance, so they have to choose how to spend the money. We should explicitly guarantee basic rights, not make people purchase them."

> * On the right hand, for one you're basically giving every entrepreneur a "free" ramen budget for their startup to build on top of. At the same time you can also abolish quite a number of subsidies, reducing the costs of bureaucratic administration.

"UBI is additional public spending. Giving people UBI doesn't mean they _don't_ get other benefits too. Also, assistance from the state should be limited to things people in unexpected situations desperately need (like food assistance): it's not a good use of taxpayer money to fund Kim_Bruning's next iPhone."
Surely there is a huge difference in getting a one-time amount of "extra" money (which most people would see as a "present") and knowing you'll keep receiving the same amount of money regularly every month for a few years. Furthermore, I clearly remember when we got the covid assistance money a lot of it was to incentivise local spending to support local businesses (at least it was here in Japan, I admit I'm not American so the message maybe was different over there).
I often have multiple concurrent sessions of terminal open, which leads to messed up history interactions. One solution I've encountered (but have not tested yet) is zsh-histdb [0]. It stores sessions' history to a SQLite db instead of a single appended file, with extra metadata about when commands were run, what session, etc. If you've already got your .zshrc file open to mess with the history settings it might be worth checking out that tool while you're at it.

Your comment appears to reaffirm the consequent. Your comment suggests you tried to not use a framework once, but failed only to write a bad framework, which suggests you are incapable of writing code without frameworks. Is there something more to draw from this?
So building an actual business, by providing a service that other people see value in, and decide to pay money for, is "everything that's wrong with our society"?
Agreed. I actually liked my colleagues and the occasional company social functions, but only because they were optional.

>Especially from Microsoft, who has deep compiler/language expertise, and who owns GitHub (large Rails app).

I thought it was missed opportunities those working inside GitHub could not persuade Microsoft to at least budget out additional resources for Ruby. Although they might have their own battle trying to keep everything Rails and not moving to .NET

It does worry me a bit that all resources are coming from Shopify, hopefully they can keep growing so resources isn't a problem in the near future.

I’m not against a UBI but with interest rates rising the interest alone on our national debt is expected to be more than GDP and military spending combined. This is the elephant in the room that no politician seems to want to deal with because “votes.”

The bill for years of unbalanced budgets and qualitative easing will come due soon. It it will likely be in the form of cutting spending, rising taxes, or both.
As someone who works from home, I do something similar to that as well. Morning meetings at the kitchen table, midday at my desk, and late afternoon work is done from my sofa. The cats and I stay busy.
At least as of a few years ago, physical bookstores were making a comeback in the United States.

Most attributed this to an "enemy of my enemy is my friend" scenario. Amazon stomped Borders and Barnes & Noble into the ground, which meant that in many towns there was no longer a huge chain competitor in the bricks and mortar space. That opened up room for the small indy bookstores to come back.

Edit: this NPR piece claims that the number of indy bookstores in the United States increased 35% between 2009 and 2015.

The ecosystem has kept moving, and Signal has not been keeping pace.

Whether Signal can catch up to its open and closed source competition remains an open question, and I don't think features like Signal Stories are going to be what helps them start nipping at the heels of the other much larger competition.

Ask HN: Firing an employee under a month before vest?
I'm the founder of an early stage startup, around 10 employees.

One of those (one of the first to join) has been an issue for quite a while. Lots of time off, low effort at work, minimal hours. Felt like squeezing water out of a stone to get a result from them.

Recently, their behavior has gotten worse despite feedback. Taking off without informing team. Found out a lot of past work was plain wrong.

They vest in a few weeks. I don't want to have them on the team anymore, I'm done trying and this employee is negatively affecting me and the company.

Should I let them vest then let them go, or just let them go? Feedback from former founders esp is helpful. Any downsides to having them on the cap table?
I recall one particularly vivid experience with a customer who seemed to be dumb as a post. But he kept getting what he wanted, and it took some time to realize I'd underestimated him.

His superpower wasn't his wit, it was getting things he didn't really deserve. His bosses saw that, which is why he was in charge. He would ask for things that sounded very reasonable, and every time we said yes our profit margins went down.

Every boss who has loyal employees that make 10% less than they deserve gets recognition from the organization for getting things they aren't really entitled to. That's why your 'nice' boss often seems to get stuck. They only succeed if you go out of your way to make them look good.
It uses many more additions. When the elements are themselves matrices, additions are a lot cheaper than multiplications, so that is OK. But with ordinary numbers, additions cost about the same as multiplications, so trading off a few multiplications for a lot more additions loses.
Gov.uk and Nhs.uk are excellent examples. Their plain design is the result of a lot of user research, while their target demographic is the entire population of a country.

Can we develop software on tablets though? It seems like this is the one missing component. On a PC we can easily get access to the tools to program the machines. Phones and tablets require a real computer to program them. Corporations own the machines so you need to go through them to reach the users.

It's like we've all gone back to the time before free software and GCC. It's a bit worrying that the PC market is shrinking. The PC is the only freely programmable computer on the market today...
You need to earn above a certain threshold before you actually can manage to hold on to more money, plan for the future, and build your reserves. [1]

Having an income below the threshold may make people feel like they need work more urgently than ever, but unfortunately they won't have sufficient means to turn that will into action.

If -on the other hand- you pay people UBI up to that point (or a little over, to be safe) , you basically ensure equality of opportunity for everyone, and make sure they actually CAN go to work every day and build their fortune.

(Paying for UBI needn't be hard. In one model you can effectively tax back most of the UBI from people who didn't need it. This can be achieved by adjusting tax brackets. )

[1] To hold on to most jobs, you need at least: a roof, a bed, clothes, shower, some amount of study material, transportation, and tools of your trade.
