On HN we don't count a post as a dupe if it didn't get significant attention. (This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.) The dupe detector is left porous to allow good submissions to have multiple chances. It's one way to mitigate the randomness of /newest.

Of course this also allows bad submissions to have multiple chances, but it's more important to facilitate the good than punish the bad.
Wait, are you saying you would actively sabotage your place of employment because they asked you to work in the office? Did you have the same feeling before WFH was even a thing?

Edit: Also, what does "torturing ICs with RTO for reasons of executive vanity" even mean? Have we come so far that working from an office is now "torture"? If so, the level of privilege is simply astounding...
I call this a ‘no use case’ feature.

Eh, I get it. Understanding anything takes effort, and each one of us has a limited amount of mental energy per day. Nobody likes wasting it for what they feel is responsibility of another. I wouldn't criticize the author for what happened in the kernel discussion - I don't have enough skill or experience to understand why or how is anyone right or wrong.

What I do have a problem with, is posting an article like this on HN, then shutting every comment down with "read these 15000 lines, peasant, before you even dare to speak". Most people on HN are not kernel hackers, so why the (if I may be blunt - pretentious) gatekeeping? There must be some better way of explaining why someone's comment is wrong than "here, read this large text, figure it out yourself and don't come back until you figure it out". That's just lazy and disrespectful.
At least the rude part is true. You are almost there.
Why don't you look at those numbers, and then report back to us? Given that you haven't provided any source for your claim and my previous attempt at validating your claim failed, it only makes sense for you to do the legwork this time around.
People in small towns don’t care about this stuff. It’s like trying to organize a meetup for local plumbers.
Honestly, dropping v11 for 2.0 was a really tough call. Adopting ExtensionKit, and getting that out the door right when v13 shipped was difficult, but that was the goal we set out for. Supporting v11 made a number of things more difficult, and SwiftUI was some of it. It was not strictly technically necessary, but it made it easier.
There's also Mingw and MSYS versions of GNU Make, if you don't like Cygwin for some particular reason.

>This doesn't even account for the incredible decline in civility from customers if you work a customer-facing job.

Not sure if you're in a customer facing job, but I've personally noticed that there seem to be noticeably fewer Karens now compared to pre-pandemic levels. (There was a spike during the first lockdown, but that died down within a few months.)

Everyone seems to be used to random disruptions now, and I think all of the campaigns about retail worker abuse have really made customers stop and think.

Either this means commercial-use space isn't as overbuilt as people have been claiming, or vacancy taxes are really needed.
No, I'm using the science holography, which is realer than your galactic parallax. Even your own science can't hide all truth, look at "black holes" what's on the surface precisely before the model breaks apart and gets all woo woo? A hologram, that's what.

You believe in singularities, but want to accuse me of going bible? Please! Your black holes, heat death, and big bang are all singularities of MATH EQUATIONS, with zero evidence of being real!

Edit, in fact all those singularities are gone if you take infinity out of the equation. Infinity is also not real. Can you prove infinity is real?
You’re 100% right. That plus the fact that my employer tried to fire me for not taking an injection, I’m good on chilling.
It's pretty but needs work on contrast. I tried it on my IDE but went back to Gruvbox Dark Hard after a week, easier on my old eyes.
Meh, this is just looking for outrage. And quite literally.

Also, if you are going to the office after being remote, meetings and discussions tend are always the point. Otherwise you could have stayed at home.
This reminds me of all the "born too late to explore the world" people, who in reality have never left their house. There is limitless adventure right across the street if you actually want to go seek it out.
Sounding a bit dismissive, you just said what I said in more words. My question is why you need god in the discussion, I think it's perfectly fine to have that awareness of being part of the whole without any god in the picture. It can sound like just semantics but for many people once you use the word god, there's a lot of other meanings.
I've not done that kind of SW in a long time, and never with someone else's platform. But that said, the reporting application I was describing above was a platform in the same sense. It was largely an engine for generating the forms being filled out by the end users. Which is why it there was so much effort doing usability stuff, because the underlying form descriptions had to have tons of optimization flags for doing things like list sorting common items to the top N items of drop-downs, or moving fields around in the form to match the ways the users thought about filling out the forms.

So there were two sides, the engine optimizations to assure things like tab orders on a form, and the was the actually writing the form descriptions. In the first couple organizations that adopted it I wrote the forms and the engine in parallel adding feature flags/controls as needed to support the desired UI outcomes. Later after I quit, the lady who wrote much of the RFP responses started writing the actual form descriptions because it was just as easy as drawing them out in the (visio?) plugin she was using with MS word and doing screen captures for the RFP. Then I guess because she knew how to do it, was doing the "tuning" as well.
What you said is about the subjective aspect. But what I'm saying is that it can be mathematically balanced, but what they are doing doesn't seem to be true.

My definition of mathematically balance would be for the palette (which is N points in the colorspace) to have a certain relationship according to the metric. One example relationship would be for them to be for all nearest neighbors sharing the same distance (which might not be possible.) The one I have in mind is for a sub-set of them forming this relationship in a potentially tilted plane, and probably have 2 such planes with a certain distance apart. The symmetry in the metric probably allows you to find 2 such planes that is equidistance with the center which can then have nicer properties about the relationships between points on opposite planes.

All these are easy if the metric is Euclidean, which is approximately true with some colorspace. It would be much more complicated if the empirical metric is taken into account.

Bottom line is I expect them to define what mathematical balanced means and there seems none.
Perhaps a combination of sunk cost and taking in a lot of money from customers for the feature and pushing city governments to accept FSD? There are probably more reasons.

As a funny side note snake oil some species of snakes at least are high in omega-3 fatty acids. I blame shady sales people for giving it a bad name. I prefer Krill oil as it has a significantly higher bio-availability in humans than snake and fish oil.
not only reasonable but an inevitable conclusion I'd argue.

I've been waiting for the current crop of React frameworks (of which Remix is my current favourite but they all bring cool thing to the table) to appear since the early days of using it - it was only a matter of time.

First the library, then the patterns, then the ecosystem of add ons implementing those patterns, then the projects that scaffold sensible sets of those together for you along with a build setup etc, and finally... the all in one framework that does it all out the box.

> How are you going to work on long term plans with elections every 2 or 4 years?

The executive and legislative branch make decisions, supposedly seeking consensus as part of their decision-making process.

If you're arguing that consensus are not important or a basic requirement of a democracy, and long term plans can only be implemented if they are dictated by an autocratic government then the problem is another one.
It wasn't so bad when I was there, it was quite an interesting experience.
> In September, rent delinquency was at a six-month low, as optimism for Q4's earning potential was high and some small business owners reported increased sales.

> But now, a month later, 37% of small business owners in the U.S. were unable to pay their rent in full and on time in October, compared to just 30% in September.

So 30% was a six-month low, and 7% more is a record surge. This implies that a surprisingly large percentage of small business owners are always behind on rent.

Another thing to remember is that the landlord gets paid last - if you miss a wage payment to your staff the local government will crawl right up your arse and explode, if you miss a tax payment the IRS will do something similar (though a bit later). If you start stiffing your suppliers you'll have nothing to sell, and if you fall behind on utilities you'll get them cut off.

But if you stiff the landlord he's not going to evict you right away, especially if you make a partial payment (note the "in full") and he has nobody better to rent to, anyway.

It would seem I'm back to not being able to post on HN. Dropped quite negative in my posts, not sure why people dislike this post. Haven't posted in an hour, still going too fast.

I'm guessing you hear a lot more about the failures/impending failures in LBO financing than you do the successes/non-defaults. You could calculate the implied probability of default from the POV of the lender by comparing the financing terms to "assumed risk free" treasuries, and then compare that with the historical data to see how accurate they are at pricing that risk. If you'd rather not do that work, I'm sure there's plenty of papers in the academic literature examining that exact question.
I wonder how much it would have cost to simply recreate Google Earth VR, which is still one of the most compelling VR applications, period. It was released 6 years ago.

I’m not sure if this is your point, or just that it’s population level, but there is certain to be lag in the measure. I.e. if I contribute $10B to GDP in Q3, and lay off 10% of the workforce, my productivity looks great, but a large portion of that contribution will stem from work done by a larger workforce in Q2, Q1, and before, perhaps well before.

So the measurement during periods of recession or expansion will always be artificially elevated or suppressed.
Sorry what does that have to do with the thread?

Tweeps are being told these are performance-related terminations, not layoffs. It was posited that "performance" was referring to Twitter, not the employee. I simply pointed out that's exactly what a layoff was, and performance in this context can only mean the employee, not the company.
For me, not a senior dev, Copilot is useful for: discovering API, generating parts of docstrings, and generating bits of code that don't require too much thinking but go beyond simple copy and paste. It is really quite useful and helps to keep my RSI in check.

My primary UX issue with copilot is that it is trying too hard to be helpful, often suggesting code that I don't need. You also can't trust it with more complex cases but that's actually pretty reassuring : - )
Yeah I don't think this is true. GDP is an economic measurement, not some kind of intrinsic thing.

So you can make a beautiful thing for your home - not GDP. Make it and give it to someone - not GDP either.

Pretty sure money has to change hands, or in the case of government, we measure it as $ spent.

I just downloaded this to give it a trial and so far my exprience has been infuriating. I go to quick open a file - it takes 5 seconds to provide me a suggestion, I select my suggestion and hit enter, nothing, I double click, nothing, I hit the space bar, nothing.... Okay, let me maximise the window, I double click the window title, nothing, hmm, let me double click where the window controls are, nothing. It hardly feels 'Mac native'.

edit: after typing this out and letting it rest in the background, the quick open now actually opens a file.
That's a matter of enforcement and audits. The problem is IRS [1] (and their equivalents in other Western countries, e.g. Germany [2]) are horribly understaffed which means that small businesses get hit the hardest by audits, while large-scale tax fraud gets ignored routinely - simply because fighting a large corporation is more expensive for the IRS as the effort required to sift through the data is way higher and the corporations have a ton of very expensive lawyers on retainer that can drag out cases for years.

Seeing knots as curiosities of topology seems to miss the entire point of knots: to fasten something with varying attributes of tightness, slippage, tension, time, application constraints (E.g. throwing lines from a distance over cleats/bollards) (etc....). I have spent some hobby-level time playing with knots and it's curious to see inherited wisdoms from the sailing world and consider the engineering evolution of a knot being ~perfect for its precise application. It's quite a marvel to see what can only be described as the minimally pure and evolved knots, like the bowline. There are many attributes at play and fun constraints to consider. Seeing knots as fun puzzles in only the topological space doesn't seem to account whatsoever for their tensile characteristics ... which... uhh is the entire reason we use them.
Medical decisions are based primarily on financial profit, and patient outcome data is not required to determine which medicines are most profitable.

The point of extensive documentation is shielding from the worst of malpractice lawsuits. The legal system is still of the legacy opinion that doctors have a responsibility to their patients as opposed to the more modern understanding of responsibility toward pharma company bottom lines, and all patients legally deserve the 100% successful participation trophy, so a documented decision with only 95% chance of success means insurance payouts about 5% of the time, unless its carefully documented it was all the patients fault or at least the MD could not have known the outcome in advance.

The pretty pictures you see in articles are just the tip of the iceberg, which are published instead of in-depth data and technical explanations because the former generates clicks and the latter doesn’t.

That was very interesting. I did some Googling and my country ships back ~5.5 tons of '20% dry sludge' per year back to New Zealand from Scott Base.

It looks like McMurdo is drying out the sludge more. My back of the envolope calculations based on an old article [1] are that McMurdo could be shipping as much as 50-80 tons of dried sludge back to the USA each year

I wasn't an employer but I'm genuinely curious how is it possible that a company doesn't know what they are willing to pay for an employee of specific knowledge? They maybe don't have formal hiring budgets, but they know how much money they have, if some investments are coming, how much they pay other people on average, etc. Also, they obviously know the amount of money they are not willing to go over during the negotiation phase of the interview.

If they are looking for some super specific and rare skill, why not make a separate ad for that rare position? In that case if they are ready to pay 5x the market rate, they can put that in the salary range without influencing ranges of "normal" positions.
You'd never know, that's how they operate. I can't even downvote, so whoever can is on another level. A level that guarantees they know more than me. Cuz marxist always know better, that's their whole philosophy wrapped up.
> I don’t think productivity was ever the goal of this software.

Thing to remember finance/economists/rentiers have a different definition of efficiency and productivity than you do. In this case the productivity has to do with billing not the uninteresting things that doctors do. By reducing the cost of billing and forcing doctors to document more things to be billed more money can be extracted.
Applications have been using out-of-process sandboxes for years. But that's not necessarily a sign of quality, since this comes with a performance cost.

It's nice when extensions don't crash the host application, but the mitigations aren't free. It's interesting that Swift's stable ABI will drastically lower that cost, since you usually need some kind of serialization (although people have been using mmap to share data between host/extension process for awhile too to avoid the serialization penalty)
Both can be true, and greater systems of medical research and analysis don’t necessarily lead to greater on-the-ground treatment.

As you’ve pointed out, access to those information systems is critical. I’d add the distribution of that information as well as the right economic incentives to participate in using that information.

I’m not sure we’ve really got any one of those things right.

Edit: adding a bit of humanity to the system, as the OP is hinting at, could very much be a part of the fix.
