exactly the same for me. What I would love to see is someone screenrecording their phone while scrolling one of these miracle algo feeds.
Oh it's just an ad for some app.

Here I thought he was actually writing things in actual Obsidian.
That would have been actually interesting.

I immediately recognised the stand as the Roost [0] because I have one, but OP links to Amazon with a different name. Was Roost ripped off or do they simply white label this?

Depending on the point of view and a person's definition of bullshit. Web-not-really-3 (because that was semantic web) is an ultra-capitalism and ultra-centralisation of finance and power movement, modeled of the free for all feudalism. Great dystopia, but I prefer to read about such worlds, not live inside them :)
The perfect response. Thanks for your comment :)
Welp... looks like the rabbit hole is even deeper than this. Those casinos are donating serious amounts to other famous open-source projects as well. A few examples:

- https://opencollective.com/date-fns

- https://opencollective.com/socketio

- https://opencollective.com/nodemon

So Emmet is a red herring... looks like the money laundering operation is all over OpenCollective.
Good idea to share here as I didn’t have this kind of community at age 20. I think your perspective is solid and will enable a good working career in the US if you aim for it. Half the job is just showing up it seems like, but you do need to be in demand somehow to get a good pay rate. More skills are more and can open doors!
> Naively I would think that if you have a secure 1:1 communication protocol, then you can send N*(1:1) secure messages to a group of N people

IIUC this is what iMessage does (at least when Messages in iCloud or whatever it's called is disabled), except s/people/devices: say you have three devices and someone sends you one message, the message is encrypted once per recipient device, and three encrypted messages get sent. Whether it's 1 person with 3 devices, 3 people each with 1 device, or 2 persons with one having 2 devices and the other a single one becomes largely immaterial.
The frame size is normally written (in Europe, at least) on the inside of one of the arms of the glasses. Find an existing pair that fits you and note the measurements. That measure, together with your prescription and PD should be sufficient to order online.
Electricity. I still don't get why you can connect copper to sand and lemons and end up with bright things and video games. It's all a mystery to me.
Yeah, most of the academics I know are miserable. I'd still love to do a PhD sometime, but without feeling the need to turn it into an academic career.
"Top Programmers", hmm depends what you mean by this, do you mean solving the sort of very narrow problems as done in Olympiads and the like, or something more useful.

I suspect the 'Top Mathematicians' are not those that are best at calculation, like you might get in Olympiads, but those which are able to apply maths to solve real world problems or produce creative breakthroughs. Being good enough at calculation very likely helps, but isn't sufficient.
I had the same problem, but needed something quicker, so I made a small CLI utility:

I'm waiting for Web 3.11 for Workgroups.
The web is a big place, with a multitude of different uses and trajectories. Trying to rope in everything into one or two terms is hubristic. The article paints a pretty accurate picture of what happens when you try: scams and hoaxes will lurk therein.

The author might not be free from agendas of her own however, a will to shoehorn the web into something according to her own fancy. That too will fail.
If you use constructor injection services are unit testable without touching Spring.
Not my quote but I consider this statement as totally realistic at least in sports.
Actually it's all about centralisation of content and money and locking down everything beyond paywalls. So, real decentralisation movements are the opposite of the tokenbro dystopia.
> It's pointless arguing with you, as you have no intention of considering alternative viewpoints.

If by “alternative viewpoints” you mean unrepeatable non-science, then you’re absolutely right! Repeat your results and I’ll take you seriously.

> it's the best we can do for many psychological issues

You can’t make this claim without repeatable results

> The mind is an abstract concept, and we don't yet have the knowledge of how it interacts with the brain, a physical entity

This attitude is exactly how the lobotomy came about. “Let’s just mess with the brain (which we don’t understand). It’s the best we can do!”

How so? As it says this is not yet a stable feature, but if you run nightly Rust it's available.

Try blocks let you do what ? (the Try operator) does within a block, rather than needing to split out a separate function for it, which makes sense because why should functions be special in this way?
I agree that the way those tech interviews are designed makes them more of a marathon that tests determination.

Doesn't change that the prestige of having it on your resume will cause many other companies to blindly hire you.
I am wondering why this is here on HN.

The article speaks of philosophy, religion and human truth. Bob Dylan
said "I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I've
learned more from the songs than I've learned from rabbis, preachers,
evangelists, all of that."

Yet the last thread I read was about AI, and how Stable Diffusion is
going to make art irrelevant. What struck me about that thread was the
cheerful celebration of the death of the human and how it "wouldn't
really matter" when "inevitably" nobody would have a reason to
express themselves through art, nor audiences the attention to care if
anything is human or not. Adapt or die. Accept the final dominance of
the machine/Moloch etc.

To hackers, is Dylan anything but a curiosity of how music used to
mean something? A laughable vestige of "freedom" and "the 60's"?

Or is he cited because those Blues songs, the messages within, and the
spirituality that Dylan speaks of, are still relevant to the struggle
against domination and nihilism?

I don't think it would be at all 'humiliating' but I do think it's the wrong trade-off for FAANG employees and for the companies.

Consider that FAANG employees are already the top less than 1% of the industry. Even in a down-market they can wander down the street and end up with a job with comparable pay and probably better conditions in a week - and a signing bonus to boot.

If a FAANG reduced their compensation broadly, all the employees would be at an opportunity cost disadvantage vs just finding a new gig. The company would be at a disadvantage relative to its peers in its ability to retain/replace the talent they need to get through this period. Worst of all for the individual, it resets the market rate for top engineering talent.

So the choices are:

(1) You take 5-10% of engineers, give them a few months beach time while they brush up on the leetcode so they can land the same job for the same pay at a company a few blocks away plus a signing bonus

(2) Everyone at your company takes a 5-10% pay cut and the best talent leaves anyways but now everyone gets paid less too.

Option (1) feels like the game theoretic optimal.
Do something outside of work. I similarly have begun to feel that all the current work in tech is just solving the same problems over and over again.

But, while I soldier on and do good work to earn that paycheck during the day, I've also started deepening my outside-of-work activities. That gives my brain new and more interesting things to think about and alleviates the "but what is it FOR" feeling.
I love your username: We seem to be opposites ;-)

As for your hypothesis: I can only speak for myself, but I just don't want to ruin my hobby by monetizing it. Plus, I've spent enough time with the community to know that as soon as money gets involved, people are suddenly not so kind anymore. I just like it more when people are kind and polite to each other and treat each other with respect...

Some advice,

What are you non-tech passionate about?

Would contributing tech solutions to that subject and people working in that passion area help?

That is one of the questions you should be exploring.
Investing can be fun. Pick some promising companies and get to know them inside and out. It's fun because you essentially make money by better understanding the present and predicting the future than others. Risky though (as we're seeing now), and you need some capital.
The US, despite its imperfections, is no where near equal to the country in question. Past countries that caused similar international complaints included china and Russia. The US is not comparable.

Examples of civil rights Issues in the US include policing of minorities that turn deadly. That’s a a pattern but it’s still uncommon and not actually legal. Being gay in Qatar will land you a different and worse experience. Being a woman in the US may mean a salary imbalance but it’s nothing compared to the theocratic policing of women in Qatar.

The US has a death penalty, but only a handful of people actually are unfortunate enough to experience it, in stark contrast to other nations that happily exterminate problematic groups.

It’s simply bad faith to argue that the US is a comparison to these countries, and a disservice to the goal of expanding humanity’s civil rights.
It’s an assumption that you’ve made on your own.

I have been to over twenty weddings across my career, all from people I’ve shared a workplace with. I’ve bought baby shower gifts, I’ve been to graduations, birthdays, divorce hearings, rehab graduation, and more. I’d take a bullet for half the people in my contact list.

Work is work. You’re either there to work, or you go somewhere else. You think because you take a sick day, I don’t care about you? Have you ever known someone who never called in, and then one day they called in? That’s someone who needs to be checked on. But for someone who calls and says “hey, I’m taking a mental health day” or “hey, I got too fucked up last night and I can’t navigate the daytime world” those are different situations.

I respect my coworkers and colleagues enough to trust them to ask when they need help. If I say “hey, I need you or someone who can do it soon to just go through all the issues tagged merge and see which owners are here today” or something like that, then that person might say something like “ok, just to clarify, is there any simpler way to do that than by going all the tickets and then going through MS teams?” (ofc not, that would actually make sense)

“Just” is a signal of simplicity. To have apprehension about it is itself a signal of anxiety. These are workable factors.

What’s not workable is for you to say I have no empathy just because I have enough respect to treat my subordinates like adults and not coddle them.
There is the NOTIFY extension, but it's for master servers to notify secondary servers that they should do a pull. Not really usable for unknown general clients, of course.
Super great advice and I agree a lot as a guitarist. Very same principles about diversity, challenge, and practice. In my teenage years I averaged probably 2 hours a day reaching for shred like Yngwie Malmsteen - because of that push and reach, 80% of normal playing is a walk in the park.

Once you get the technical aptitude it’s great to explore other cultures and methods and then your brain gets to express itself even more. Quite a lovely journey but also delayed gratification is built in and challenges a lot of people. Myself included…
Looks prime for SV disruption, no?
A day of pulling wire through conduit can be quite taxing.
This is so close to my thinking about these things that it's almost scary considering it came from a person who presumably lives halfway across the planet from me.

Since we are in HN, I feel obliged to ask: how do we fix this?
Ask HN: Can you rely on Google Cloud Platform?
I have a software company building own products and web services for various clients in traditional industries (ERP systems, education etc.). I'm using Google Workspace for email and calendar and AWS for the products and services I build. In AWS I separate the costs by tagging all the resources by client or by creating another AWS account and in GCP by project, which is way more useful.

Recently I looked into Google Cloud Run which seems pretty nifty and was planning to implement a project on it. I have 3 billable projects already and about a year of history with my corporate GCP account with zero payment issues or any activity that I could even remotely think of sketchy (backups on cloud storage, hello world projects with different GCP services).

I tried to apply for a billing quota increase to have more than three projects linked to my billing account but no matter how I word the application I get no explanation for the refusal back in email or the follow-up questions sent back to the refusal emails from Google Cloud Compliance. First email asked for a pre-payment on the account, which I did and replied that to the email but got no response. Then I sent an application every couple of days again with increasing detail of explanation and no replies again. Last week I finally managed to click around in the console to find a human to contact in the billing department but they told they can't help and I should just reply to the refusal email. I can still use paid services on the three projects I have so this doesn't make much sense to me.

Google apparently don't want my business and now I'm wondering should I move away from Google Workspace as well if some automation has flagged my account fraudulent and I could be locked out any day with similar way (no way) to resolve the issue.

Is it only me or have you experienced anything similar? Why they even build the seemingly great products but then refuse to take money from people interested in using them?

Aside from the other replies it's probably worth noting that standards of health have improved in the last 100 years at least partly because of better insulation and heating; the problems mentioned in the article were problems then too.
But you can use these chords inside the editor's terminal (for example (n)vim's :term), so it's easier to scroll back, search stuff and copy-paste, for example
It is not comical, you pay for this benefit in Europe with lower salary.
I'm not familiar with visas, do they not get any time to find new jobs?
What exactly are you pitching? Ideas are a dime a dozen but execution is much harder. The world has a ton of nonprofits but most of them aren't very effective. Most humans aren't very effective.

I did try doing more stuff at home, but I also crave that 'decompression' between work mode and home mode. After doing a 'commute' outside the house I was so much less inclined to check if I had any more emails etc.
It's a buzzword used to disguise the fact that blockchain has completely failed to live up to any of its promises.

In 2017 everyone was saying that "blockchain" was the future of everything and you'd be a fool not to invest. Sure, it hasn't proven itself yet, but it's still early! Imagine if you could invest in the Internet in 1994!

This line doesn't work anymore, because it's been five years and blockchain still hasn't proven itself, and no-one's come up for a use for blockchain except currency speculation, money laundering and scams. It's hard to convince people that we're still only in the early days when you've been saying the same thing for years with no progress.

So now, blockchain has been rebranded to "web3", and we can go through the whole hype cycle again and hope no-one notices that nothing's changed. Web3 is the future! It might not have proven itself yet, but it's still early days! Imagine if you could invest in the internet in 1994!

Thankfully the noise seems to have mostly died out since the big crash earlier this year. I except that the next time there's a bull market we'll go through the same old bullshit with another new buzzword. It'll be early days, like the Internet in 1994!
Apple isn’t the savior of privacy. Their privacy features will only go as far as they can market it, and only for as long as they can profit from it.
I understood the thread roughly this way: „philosophy makes progress. The evidence is that the modern world has adopted the more progressed rules of enlightement and scientific rules.“
And my reply was that this is highly questionable.

I’m saying that the enlightenment ideas happened because the uprising middle class needed justifications in their power struggle. Not that the ideas formed a middle class that then acted upon them.

I agree with you that humans need ideas to tell a story of themselves. And that story better paint them as good! But that story is usually not the driving force.

So I fail to see progress as I don’t see a criterion to measure progress (in general. Aristoteles‘ logic is a tool. Here I see how to compare it to FOL and judge which is better or worse for specific use cases).

As for human rights: do I agree with them? Yes! Can I justify them? No! Do I know where to exactly draw the lines when two rights collide? No! Is it important to justify them in a philosophical way? I doubt.
Honest question - what does 'take accountability' and 'take responsibility' actually look like for Zuckerberg here?

This is a great story - especially that someone "almost hugging me" in Germany in a professional context is more or less equivalent to a marriage proposal. He must have made their lives really, really better.

I witnessed the disconnection of a (large) sensitive system because the 5yo grandson of a highly graded person who was touring him in the center flipped the switch of an AIX system. The system came back with a 513 error code (I think I still get it right after 30 years, the trauma).

The high graded person's jaw dropped on the floor when he realized what was switched off, looked at me, smiled and zoomed off with the kid. I recovered the system with a toothpick and manual in Swahili and, boy, that was quite a night.
Electrician or plumber? You get to logically solve problems but in the physical realm. And due to demand you should be paid well.

Another one. Old school selling in real life - like at a market stall or stall at a convention. Selling niche items. Maybe even something you make or 3d print yourself.
I love how over the past decade my own C++ utility library has been continuously shrinking because with each update there are more and more utility functions (like the to_underlying this article mentions) and even complete libraries (like <filesystem>) which replace self-written or 3rd party code.
Greed is a very basic motivator for most people.

Smarter ones have realized that using big opaque tech trends can be used to create a lot of FoMo to drive more and more dumb asses into a spiral that will make them richer. A classic Ponzi scheme.

The other side of web3 has not gotten that much attention. Simply because it's hackers motivated curiosity much more than greed.
5 years => 26 weeks = 0.5 years of pay, right?
Possibly dumb question, but how did you get to two years?

Severance summary:

Severance. We will pay 16 weeks of base pay plus two
additional weeks for every year of service, with no cap.

PTO. We’ll pay for all remaining PTO time.

RSU vesting. Everyone impacted will receive their November
15, 2022 vesting.

Health insurance. We’ll cover the cost of healthcare for
people and their families for six months.

Career services. We’ll provide three months of career
support with an external vendor, including early access to
unpublished job leads.

Immigration support. I know this is especially difficult
if you’re here on a visa. There’s a notice period before
termination and some visa grace periods, which means
everyone will have time to make plans and work through
their immigration status. We have dedicated immigration
specialists to help guide you based on what you and your
family need.
It means nothing especially with 50% voting shares. The funny thing about these layoffs is how they just go by the C-Suites without even denting their value.
What I have experienced is Google banning my account and deleting all my GCP resources on a different Google account (I used the multi-login feature and they banned all my accounts) because of a years-old Youtube comment that wasn't even a bad one - just not mainstream political opinion but respectful, today /year after the report+ban/ said opinion is mainstream (I talked about Russian aggression).

If you like your business, run like hell
Why is 26 weeks two years of pay?
16 + (2 * 5) = 26

In my book that is 6 month's pay
It could be a hack or losing keys
You're getting 16 + (5x2) = 26 weeks of pay, not (16+2) x 5 = 90 weeks.
Honest question - what do you expect it to look like beside making the statement and giving employees a more than gracious severance package to back up the words?

Because it is currency itself that you measure everything else against. What my sentence meant is that without transaction fees it would be a zero sum game -- ie if you undid all crypto-money transactions then nothing is left -- but with transaction fees their sum is a negative number. But you need to measure this in something.

Note how stocks are decidedly not like this because if you undid all stock-money transactions the sum would be positive because of buybacks and dividends.

I have used syncthing + marktext[0] and or ghostwriter[1] depending on the content of my notes. For a daily journal I like to use ghostwriter as it has almost no distraction and it forces me to focus. It just got shifted over to being maintained by the KDE team and I really enjoy it.

I liked marktext over joplin for similar reasons. But I am probably a little overzealous in my search for distraction free note taking. I assume joplin provides more feature sets, I just happened to want less features for what I do on a day to day.

It works well with the calendar plugin too. You click on a future date and it will create the daily not for that day so you can pop something in as a future reminder.
