Renting out a house is a huge pain. Local laws can make you accept tenants you wouldn't otherwise, and eviction moratoriums can make a bad tenant very difficult to get rid of. Not only that, but being a landlord isn't a labor-free job, and many of us don't have time for that, while property management companies are very expensive.
“At least that's what they said in the news here, perhaps it's not fully accurate.”

IMHO it’s pretty accurate unfortunately.

The point of a salaried position is that you're a professional filling a role for an organization. That role is not "do tasks assigned". It's spend your working time to make stuff better. With "working time" either explicitly laid out or implicitly, for the US, roughly 40 hours a week M-F.

Working beyond explicitly assigned tasks is not "performing more work for free". It's doing your job.
A number in your head is portable. So with the exception of the 'border crossing' use case, I agree they are functionally the same thing.

I suspect a lot of more of the 0.1% have gold hidden than many would expect. I've met two eccentric 100 millionaires that advocated for hiding gold as a wealth preservation mechanism. I think this is becoming the primary non-trading use case for Bitcoin - met both of those individuals through conversations about crypto.
I mean I love the idea right? Software FDE comes with a performance hit, as well as increased wear on the SSD.

With hardware FDE the data written to the raw flash is always encrypted, the AES key is just 0 by default. Macs work this way AFAIK. With "hardware bitlocker" you just change that key (on a fresh drive).

Full performance, better security. Seems awesome huh? Well being outside the happy-path when it comes to hardware configs on free software is just asking for trouble...

Yes, C++ was created in the 1980’s and a lot had been added …

Merge to earn uses smart contracts to make this possible in a permissionless and automated way. It also doesn't impose projects to use any cryptocurrency (only ETH is always accepted, any other must be explicitly specified).

I'd be more interested to hear opinions that go beyond the crypto = scam argument.
Ooh, nice, I didn't know about that one. Seems like the right direction to go in.
In slam dunk cases, either because you're being sued frivolously or suing someone for a well-documented violation of a clear-cut law, then the legal work can be cut down dramatically by filing a motion for summary judgment. If you're not relying on disputed material facts for your argument, i.e., "I'm being sued by my former employer for violating my non-compete clause. This is the non-compete clause. It is not enforceable because it violates California labor law", it' definitely the way to go.
I feel like you definitely have to target particular companies and more specifically specific titles and skills to offer to do so.

My guess is trying to sell high end services as a "principal software engineer" isn't going to be enough to justify that cash comp to a lot of people hiring.

Just some extra info to add to this for OP/others. The keyword to Google to learn more about this would be a "JIT compiler". If you were to run each of those benchmarks to loop only a few times (or steps for the n-body example), say n=10, they would appear much slower because the JIT compiler needs lines of code to be run multiple times before it can begin making optimizations.

"pypy" is an alternative runtime for Python which can do JIT optimizations like Javascript interpreters do. Another commenter in a different subthread already posted a quick speed comparison involving pypy, it's much faster than the standard python runtime (called CPython).

But pypy isn't necessarily a synonym for Python (which almost always means CPython). It doesn't have 100% compatibility with 3rd party libraries (it's probably 99.9% but just 1 unsupported dependency is enough to prevent your whole project from going pypy).

And also with most Python projects, the python code isn't the slow part of the stack. If you're making a web app, your cache and database is probably where 99% of your request time is spent. For scientific computing, data analysis, or ai training, you're usually using 3rd party libraries written in a "fast" language like C/Fortran/Rust with python hooks, and your python just acts as glue code to pass data between these library calls.
You've got a point!
The tell is that you cannot even pay more to buy ME-disabled hardware when it is obvious that there is plenty of money in it, at little additional cost to Intel. The workaround in me_cleaner was originally intended for government buyers that demanded it. And they probably had good reason to demand it.
You haven't seen the extravagant claims marketing, bloggers and futurists have been peddling in the name of ML, 'AI', or its even more wish-object cousin, 'AGI'.

But attention has been much more monetizable than thought in the 1990s. Nearly all forms of attention find some way of getting monetized, and this near-fungibility is surprising.

Otherwise, it's tautologically true that "the currency of the new economy is X, to the extent X can be monetized" for all values of X.
The concern is because it's almost impossible to have slavery in a place where it's (de facto) illegal without some trafficking.

Trafficking is what enable slavers to stay hidden.
The government can also just increase property tax rates if property values go down. Instead of 0.75%, make it 1%, or 2%.
It's both. Language semantics make it hard to optimize Python, even for the runtime / even for a JIT.
> The emergence of free markets coincided with a dramatic decline in slavery.

Free markets are an analytical fiction like frictionless surfaces; they don’t exist in the real world. The emergence of the real-world economic system for which the term “capitalism” was coined (which is not the same system as the modern mixed economy that has generally replaced it, though both critics and defenders of the modern mixed economy conflate it woth capitalism, with which it shares some core elements) corresponds with the expansion of chattel slavery and the development of the slave trade, and pressure for its abolition corresponds with (and often involved the same people as) early organized opposition to capitalism.

I think a lot of people assume this is the case for every website/web application without actually watching their network requests and having hard data on it. Like I said, small to medium sites and applications in some cases start to be more efficient with ESM modules than ever before (because it is the ultimate code-splitting) even before you get into new tools like HTTP2 and HTTP3 which significantly reduce connection overhead for network requests entirely and make a lot of old bundling advice outdated at best.

Plus, ESM modules always load asynchronously without DOM blocking so in any and all "progressive enhanced" sites and apps, it may feel slow to hydrate parts of it, but you generally aren't going to find a better performing experience while it hydrates. The page itself won't feel "slow" to the user because they can start reading/scrolling faster.

Some of it comes down to your framework, of course, and if you can afford SSR or are using a "progressive enhanced" style of site/application. For one specific counter-instance I'm aware of, Angular's NgModules dependency injection configuration mess routes around ESM's module loaders and creates giant spaghetti balls the browser thinks it needs to load all at once. I can't see recommending unbundling Angular apps any time soon as long as they continue to break the useful parts of ESM style loading with such spaghetti balls. Other frameworks, especially ones with good SSR support/progressive enhancement approaches are increasingly fine to start using unbundled ESM on the modern web.

> It's a small, local government run by people who actually live in the area they are governing.

More specifically, it's run by people who live in the area they are governing and have nothing else to do with their time.

Not sure what can be done about this; it's a general failure mode of democratic systems at every level (and many non-democratic as well): over time, the power goes to those who prioritize getting the power. I.e. career politicians.

(Yes, I'd classify the few people who show up at our HOA-equivalent meetings as career politicians, and the small group of troublemakers in my block of flats as the opposition :).)
As an interviewee, I don't care. Most take home tests aren't that difficult and don't take that much time. And it's coding, which is much more enjoyable than meetings.

Plus, there's the fact that I don't do well in live coding interviews. I get a version of "stage fright" where my mind goes blank and thinking becomes impossible for a bit. I don't experience it anytime on the job, either. Just in interviews.
It's not a matter of watching a deployment, it's a matter of having separate testing modes used in appropriate ways. Rapid tests should catch most bugs in CI, but more laborious tests could catch other bugs that would escape CI.

Personally, there's a free software effort where my contribution is running tens of millions of randomized property-based tests each day and registering bugs when failures occur. This supplements and complements the fast tests that all must pass before changes are merged to master.
I love this. Lots of details I didn't know.

Yeah, well, to the millions of people for whom that's just "how one showers", your way seems needlessly wasteful, like heaping food on your plate only to throw most of it away.

At least food is cheap, I guess!
And to be specific, they generally look for _known_ unexpected behavior; in that you need to have a test for it.

Though clearly there's still unknowns, like when you're throwing random data at an api to see if you can find bugs. But even still, you know what _ways_ you're doing that. Tests generally won't turn up things nobody has thought to test.
Technically your personal ID is not public knowledge. The first eight digits are, which contain your birth date. The last four digits are always obfuscated. In reality, it is common to provide your personnummer verbally in non-private settings so if someone within earshot had some interest in remembering your ID they could.

Edit: The above might not be entirely accurate, check out the thread below. Some of these lookup sites may reveal the personnummer on registration and possibly payment. I've never tried this so can't confirm for sure, however.
And yet their search product results are declining rapidly in terms of quality. So much so that people in HN report having to write "reddit" at the end of their queries to get reasonably interesting results.

There was a comment here by a throwaway account pointing out attention has always been a currency (think courtship rituals in nature and the "world's oldest profession").

It's still redirecting to another object at runtime in both cases. The details are obviously not exactly identical but there's no great difference in the object model just because one is called a "class" and one is called a "prototype".

>"C++ is a compiled language, which means that it lacks some of the convenience of Python and JavaScript. Besides strict typing and having a generally ugly syntax, C++ also requires ahead of time compilation."

To me ahead of time compilation is a convenience that in many cases catches bugs before they present all their glory to a customer.

As for "generally ugly syntax" - beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I am for example multilingual and do not get hung up on syntax unless it resembles brainfuck. However having fn instead of function, not having brackets when supplying parameter list, having variables to use some special characters does not qualify for "beauty". It is just a different way of doing the same thing and often feels that it is done for the whole purpose of being different or half arsed attempt to make parsing simpler.

Doesn't sound much different than the traditional 'time is money.' Attention is time.

They did test that the vaccine reduced risk of transmission and contraction of the disease, and testing for fertility didn't make sense anyway (and recent studies verify that it has no effect on fertility anyway) so I don't know why anybody who isn't grasping at straws would bring up anything of that sort in the first place.

I am glad that they shut down foolish misinformation like that, which is only designed to mislead people into being anxious about nothing in an effort to spread FUD about vaccines.

Troubles.

You have to get hookups for utilities.

Worry about construction quality. Durability in a storm.

Architecture. Will the house fall down?

Material quality. Is the wood good?

Electrical wiring. Is it up to code? Will it burn the house down?

Plumbing. A leak can destroy a home.

Mold. Moisture ingress. Bugs. Termites.

Foundational stability. Water drainage.

You can get it all apparently right only to find your home is worthless or can't be lived in after a decade.

All of this is before the regulatory issues, permits, taxes, insurance, and so on.

It's nowhere near as simple as picking up a nail gun.

I was thinking this morning about how strange it was that in the U.S., in the old days of phone books, you had to pay to be unlisted otherwise they'd just publish your phone number and address right there in the white pages.

Contrast to today when you can't pay to be unlisted but you do have the option to join a class action lawsuit against Equifax after they oops your social security number onto the dark web.

Yet the code you posted above as using int64 does not in fact work using int64, it requires arbitrary sized integers as I demonstrated above.

Did you even check your code? Your example above has the (P*R) term overflowing leading to nonsense results.

Man this is funny - you somehow thought you were using int64 in your calcs but you were not :)
The difference between all of these and how the python c api works is that 1 layer of abstraction and translation.

Take the deno example, in order to invoke a C function you have to tell deno "load this lib, this dynamic function is here, and the method signature looks like this".

Look at what types are permitted to be passed between the two as well. deno isn't exposing deno objects to C, it's exposing only simple primitive types. The cpython FFI, on the other hand grants C full access to python objects.

That one layer of abstraction and distance makes all the difference and is hard to backport in.

There's a reason alternative pythons (pypy, graalpy) don't really support it and struggle to support libs that rely heavily on it (like tensorflow).

How does this work if you're only using water for a minute, per your original comment? Does it generate enough steam to keep you warm for the few minutes of waterlessness?
Things are rarely so simple as "all it takes is for you to do it yourself." For instance, I'd been looking at land to build my own house on, since housing prices are extortionately high. The land to build on is seemingly even-less available, the material cost of building a house are quite high, and the mortgage rates to fund the materials and labor are astronomical. It's an unfortunate potpourri of poor circumstances.
Ask HN: Are you good smartphone typer?

Didn't you claim that your mom helped you?

Are you saying that ignoring tests won't have any effect on the majority of good performers who got that way because of parental attention and involvement?

Ignoring the tests just teaches those kids who worked hard that they shouldn't have.

> The current optimal strategy for new grad SWE applications is to shotgun as many out as possible as fast as possible.

> It makes new grad applications slightly better than a random lottery

Your second assertion indicates that your first may not be true...

Even new college grads know people, have been through internships, and have the ability to research jobs and companies to find a better way in. Do that.

Ever been to a trade show? In a tight job market it's not uncommon for a good chunk of the attendees to be carrying CVs and asking about jobs. I used to roll my eyes at that, but now I see it as a go-getter getting-their-go-on, and if I were hiring for what they're looking for, I'd shepherd their app though the process and ensure they made it to the post-screen interview stage.

That's just one example of how to do it - there are tons of others. The point is that straight out of college, your job is getting a job. Spend 40 hours/week on it. Work hard. Try new things. Learn what works and what doesn't (pro-tip - every time you make it past the first stage, ask someone how you got there!). The people that do this are going to go farther than the people who shotgun 500 job applications then give up.
That's great, but things like hotels aren't like, say, I dunno, say one stick of gum not having flavor out of every 50 that do; you just spit it out and move on. Hotels are where people temporarily reside. This situation is more akin to one stick of gum out of 50 causing food poisoning and possibly death. That becomes much more serious, even though there might be 49 people who just really love that gum. That is, tldr: it's great, until it's not.

The further we get from the factory/industrialized IS9000(1) standards of the 1960s where quality control was king, the further we get into wildly inconsistent and personally variable experiences, with spectrums of experience that fluctuate wildly from yours, and the person in the article. And that's a big problem.

Consistency is really hard, but when companies are built on software which can more or less withstand moderate failures, errors like this are more prone.

I hate to be "we need to go back" - but we really do need a return to consistency of experience and product.
I assume that many people find out themselves that they've been tricked shortly after the election and almost 4 years before the next election, when the first promises are broken.

> If the politicians don't follow up, you vote them out.

That's what I think where it lacks options. You cannot really vote politicians out. You can only vote politicians in. In some cases you can even only vote for parties, not for people. The ancient Greeks used to vote people out. I would at least want to be able to vote for party X, but not this guy, not this other guy and definitely not that guy who was the worst liar over the last 20 years, but somehow managed to stay afloat every time.

And blaming swatting on swatters is an obvious trick. To prevent swatting, we have a choice of changing our expectations about how police should react to anonymous snitching, or we can detect and isolate or eliminate every single extremely maladjusted young man that has existed or will exist.

Choosing the first means that you end swatting as a danger. You're only ever pretending to choose the second (the impossible one); but instead you're actually saying that the status quo is fine and in addition you're going to use maladjusted young males as a pretense to take even more liberties with the amount of force and restriction that you're going to apply to the general public.
Which is why software patents are so silly. When it's all 1s and 0s under the covers, everything else just flows logically.
