There is no difference in legal expectations. Any negligence by previous owners is legally irrelevant. The previous owners are in the clear regardless of what they did to the property, provided they follow state disclosure laws. They would only be liable in the case of actual fraud.

New construction is a bit different in that some states have a mandatory warranty period for major construction defects. So the new homeowner may have several years to make warranty claims against the property developer or contractor for negligent or non-compliant construction work.

Airbnb was benefitted me many times as a resident when the renter protections in my city made renting difficult. Renting an airbnb allowed my landlord to bypass renter protections which made it very low friction to use airbnb whereas signig a lease was nigh impossible because landlords wanted all kinds of evidence I'd be a good renter as it was so hard to kick a renter out.

By using Airbnb, I was able to continue living and working in the city by ceding away my rental protections in exchange for not needing good credit and other assurances for the landlord. Win-win.

I mean what you're describing is the central core of the grift.

Complex sounding technical mumbo-jumbo delivered with supreme confidence and seeming internal consistency is how you convince the plebs to invest their life savings in various forms of crypto.

0.1% understand the original underlying technology
0.9% understands the applications possible to be built on top of it
99% are following the 1% and writing governmental and financial policy, and voting with their wallets.

I wish I could say we will look back and shake our heads at it like we do today at Tulip Mania, but I suspect we're watching the birth and childhood of a new religion. Crypto isn't going anywhere for the rest of our lives, and just as we have to keep vigilantly fighting against Scientology permeating tax policy, or religion in general always attempting to undermine secular society, Crypto will continue to be a thorn in society for a long time.
There are a lot of reasons why this is a bad idea, not least of which is the effects of the resulting electromagnetic pulses on satellites, the earth, and the equipment on board the vehicle itself.

There is also the radioactive fallout that would affect human populations all over the world.

Detonating nuclear weapons at high altitudes or in space would also disturb or damage the van allen belts and expose the surface of the earth to high levels of radiation from solar winds and cosmic rays.

And of course there is the fact that it's a violation of international law to bring nuclear weapons to space or to test or detonate them in the atmosphere or in space.
The edit described in Gordon's post talks about overlaying tracks with zero crossfading done and instruments clashing, all being done hastily by hand. That alone is a massive contributor to the dynamic range brickwall.

Gordon explicitly singled out those instances. He didnt say "the track as a whole has a DR brickwall through and through." He mentioned a complete lack of crossfading being the massive contributor to the brickwall and weird tempo changes, and it all checks out.

I wonder if people reporting issues is a negative signal for the priority of fixing them?

Like if someone cares enough to report an issue, they're probably invested and will stick around. If they didn't care, they wouldn't bother to report the issue.

You need to fix the issues that cause people to just give up and go elsewhere - the issues that don't get opened!

I've read several times in those comments that this is a "decent" severance package.

I'm not that familiar with the US legalities and practices, what's considered a "good" and "very good" severance package over there, if 16 weeks of base pay + 6 months of health insurance (for the employees and their families btw) is only "decent"? Is it common to get way better? From abroad we think that the severance packages in the US are at the will of the employers and so are usually very bad.
Seconded.

I've always thought that it should have been possible in C and C++ to declare endian-ness as the property of a member variable's type, and that's it: the compiler would then automatically choose where to swap the byte-order to/from he native byte order.

The benefits are obvious: Code is declarative, and there's no risk of a bug where you missed to call std::byteswap() or did it twice.

Also, the compiler could automatically extract and insert values from/to little-endian and big-endian bitfields (which can be a handful...), and it could optimise to reduce the number of byteswaps in the code.

Many people sell unwanted gifts and purchases that are not eligible for free return on marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay unopened. It's easy to sign up as an Amazon Marketplace seller, since there is an Individual plan with no monthly fees:

https://sell.amazon.com/pricing#selling-plans

In the past decade, Amazon started adding brand restrictions to prevent marketplace sellers from offering items on certain listings unless they met requirements set by the brand owner. This collapsed Amazon's marketplace for used goods of restricted brands and also hindered individuals selling new goods of restricted brands on Amazon. This lawsuit focuses on new goods of one of these restricted brands.

> YOU have to bring the debate to them with facts

The facts are widely available, and are well-understood by most people. They are unfortunately ignored by the tiny minority of people who actually have any capability whatsoever to stop our planet's destruction, and we're all condemned to suffer for it.

> Firstly, you haven't asked nicely

Yes I have, as have plenty of others. It didn't work, because the ones actively contributing to the problem are the ones with a vested interest in ignoring us; their material wealth matters more than human lives.

> Patience is a thing that is probably foreign to the people slicing tires and chaining themselves to bridges

We're already past the point of no return. At this point climate change response is about mitigating further damage, and every second wasted means more damage, more suffering, more death. Climate activists have been extraordinarily patient given the circumstances - and the consequences of hand-wringing over people recognizing a dire situation for what it is is something all of us will learn, the hard way.

Like, if you think climate activists now lack patience, wait until mobs are banging down your door for every last scrap of food and potable water they can find amid global famine. You'll be thinking back fondly on how politely those activists chained themselves to bridges.
I thought about moving to Berlin and did some research. Median salary for a Senior Software Engineer is 86k EUR in Berlin according to Glassdoor. You will pay ~48% in taxes (depending on your Tax class), so it will be around 3700 net per month with an avg rent ~1500 EUR. So it's like 2200 EUR left, and you are supposed to have a life (and even make some savings) with that money. I don't know how this is fine to be honest. The only reasonable way to do it is to have this salary when you live in a more cheaper place with a better tax regime.

Looks nice to me, granted I have not been following Thunderbird, as I believed it to be dead[0] over a decade ago. Its nice to see that the community has keep it alive!

For Thunderbird users, do you find it interfaces well with Google Workspace Email (Gmail) and Calendar? I prefer native clients to their interface usually but Apple Mail isn't the greatest so I've been using the web interface and I don't particularly enjoy it.

I use BusyCal for calendar and I like it, but I'd love to have it in a "suite" like this, just makes things easier.

The original post by Marty always crossed my mind when listening to the OST sound track. It never really added up. Mick always came across a person with integrity - both artistic and otherwise. Now my mind can be put at rest.

The behavior of Marty in the way it's described comes across classic narcissistic behaviors. Hopefully Mick has learned to recognize this early on in future engagements and to tread very carefully. This applies to all people in power in companies. Do not trust until that trust is earnt, no matter how friendly or forthcoming they appear.

I learnt this early in my career and can (hopefully) can spot these people quickly before they gain too much leverage. Give them nothing that can be used against you because there is a good chance it will come back to bite.
How is that BS? Other companies don't have you there to say no to them and are definitely running the kind of experiments you're too good for.
This is an honest question from someone who didn't use nor install Thunderbird for over a decade.

It means much more than just being elegant!

Maxwell’s equations are arguably the most successful existing physical theory. They are incredibly accurate over a huge range of scales. They are used in essentially unaltered form all over modern day engineering and have astonishing predictive power.

On top of this, they are a useful tool without modification! They are the working tool for all electrical engineers. They’re not some lower-level substrate that exists in the background. They are used directly to model and generate other, simpler approximate theories (such as geometric and physical optics) which are powerful and elegant in their own right.

I don’t think Lisp, lambda calculus, Turing machines, or similar can make this kind of claim.
Ironically HP has a machine called the G4 in the Z8 lineup, though it uses a Xeon chip.

Btw, I’m surprised you like the Z8 series. The single core and sum compute with total of cores looks like a terrible value (eg when looking at various benchmarks for the Xeon) — ie thousands of dollars for a machine with a chip that appears far less powerful than the latest i7s or Ryzens.

Curious what I’m missing.
It says about 12k are software engineers. Now it does say 40k total employees instead of the real number but I suspect software engineers are much more likely to be on linkedin. Still fairly confident that its closer to 10% than 33%.

"All code is also imperative, eventually, at the machine code level."

This is essentially what I think, and I've thought for a long time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3507281

To the extent that people say "But what about..." my answer is that there isn't a particularly useful line to draw between imperative and declarative. There is one; I can draw it too. I challenge its usefulness. Imperative things have too many declarative things mixed in, and vice versa, in practice for it to be a very useful metric. I find what I mentioned in that post about the ease of debugging to be the real information I get when someone uses the "declarative" phrase; I can pretty much count on things breaking and me being unable to fix things whenever I see that word used.

I find it much more useful to mix things up as appropriate and not sweat which things they happen to be. A "declarative style" is a useful tool to be used, little more, and it almost never belongs in any sort of pro or con list. The pros or the cons should be at the next level down, like, "it's hard to debug" or "I'm typing way too much for what I'm trying to accomplish". I haven't evaluated any techs and given or subtracted points merely for being or not being "declarative" in a long time.

All reasonable points, but examples where JIT has an advantage are well supported in research literature. The typical workload that shows this is something with a very large space of conditionals, but where at runtime there's a lot of locality, eg matching and classification engines.

In my collection of things I have a NYC Subway Map* from 2017. This one is special because it was commemorating the "opening of the second avenue subway". At the bottom corner in big fat font is the signature of then Governor Andrew Cuomo. For those unaware, the second avenue subway has been planned since the 1930s. In 2017 they opened phase 1, which consisted of 3 new stations stretching from 63rd St to 96th St. Maybe sometime this century phase 2 and 3 will open. I for one am not optimistic.

Its not for lack of investment that this project has been delayed over 100 years. Plenty of money has gone down that pit. There is a cost disease afflicting infrastructure in the US (and health care, and education).

*technically what I have is a transit diagram, not a map. The difference being it abstracts away the geography and angularizes all the lines.
Show HN: Pier – New VM Platform and Programming Language
Hey folks,

This is a large hobby project I've been working on to create a new VM platform called Pier. The platform spec is currently private but the code for the compiler and VM is published on my GitHub. Most of my effort over the years has gone towards designing the Pier bytecode and working on the VM, so the language is rather limited right now.

Many features that would typically require you to choose specific APIs like GL/Vulkan/D3D are defined as custom APIs provided natively by Pier bytecode - the platform effectively provides an abstraction layer that allows the VM to be implemented on top of various different APIs. I took this further by defining a custom shader bytecode IR format, which gets translated to a shading language (like GLSL) by the VM. Currently Pier is limited to Linux, but I intend to port the VM to Windows soon which should be a trivial task.

Let me know what you think!
