I don't think your reading of my comment is fair at all. I think I was perfectly reasonable and avoided using words like culty and repressive. Instead of talking about the issues youve gone straight for a personal attack.

You're right, I can't speak for maersk, but given this is a pseudonymous internet forum where in this thread they are touted as legitimising the tech, I think it's fair game to speculate based on knowledge.

> When I try and point out one useful thing is a blockchain, oh that thing is a different kind of blockchain.

Meanwhile, everytime I ask for a problem that a blockchain solves, I get back problems that are better solved _without_ blockchains, or solutions that don't actually solve the problem in the first place.

I'm open to having my mind changed, I really am (it's happened many times on this forum), so please, feel free to share some of the problems that are being solved.

Could you elaborate what that culture is supposed to be exactly, and why it should require us to side with Discord here?
I don’t think the background worker is the problem. It’s the fact that the user remains in a call, with their microphone hot, potentially against their expectation
A stream abstraction is a solution so some (not all) of these problems, and indeed some libraries use them, but a stream abstraction that is powerful enough to solve most of these problems may result in more complex code than just rewriting the checksum algorithm from scratch. And there is a limit on how compilers can optimize, especially considering that checksum calculation may be critical to performance.

In reality, few people need to write their own checksumming function, but sometimes, it is the best thing to do. And it is just an example, there are many other instance where an off the shelf solution is not appropriate because of some detail: string manipulation, parsing, data structures (especially the "intrusive" kind), etc... And since you are probably going to have several of these in your project, it will result in a lot of boilerplate. If it was so generic not to require boilerplate, it probably has been developed already and you would be working on something else.

Abstractions are almost invariably more complex, slower, more error-prone and generally worse than the direct equivalent. They are, however, reusable, that's the entire point. So one person goes through the pain of writing a nice library, and it makes life a little easier for the thousands of people who use it, generally, that's a win. But if you write an abstraction for a single use case, it is generally worse than boilerplate.

Wish them luck. Zlib was a godsend. Let's hope they won't be extradited.
The artificial supply/demand ratio in the US healthcare system keeps rearing its head.

One solution is to subsidize all healthcare education costs, and stop turning away some of our nations brightest because of an artificially low number of training spots (that is not allowed to adjust to demand).

This will relieve the debt burden on healthcare professionals so that they would be more comfortable earning less (they earn multiples of similarly trained folks globally to help with their extreme debt levels).
It also doesn't help that true democracy isn't something people actualy want. So democracy has basically been redefined to mean a republic that makes decisions that benefit or are demanded by the most people.

This "managing up" concept sounds remarkably similar to "face-work":

"With people we trust and know well, we don’t worry so much about face, but with those we don’t know – especially when those people have some power over us – we put in the face-work. When someone puts in face-work and yet doesn’t achieve the face they want, they feel bad. If you strive to be seen as authoritative and someone treats you with minimal respect, you feel embarrassed and even humiliated. In some circumstances you might try to sabotage the encounter to feel better."

People in this thread tend to be supportive of the idea that he is simply playing by the rules. While I have no reason to doubt the legality of this strategy, I question whether it ought to be legally appropriate for Peter Thiel to decide the valuation of his own investment (more or less) by himself. His initial deposit into his Roth IRA doesn't strike me as an arm's length independent valuation. It was simply the par-value of the stock, which AFAIU is a valuation for accounting purposes and not at all an independent appraisal of the stock's value.

That said, when this topic came up last year on Hacker News, it did make me rethink my own personal tax-sheltered strategy. (I'm in Canada, so I'm thinking about TFSA instead of Roth IRA). Before I had been following the advice to shelter my high-tax items, which for Canada would be bonds. But after reading about this, I've rearranged things to instead shelter (hopefully) high growth items (e.g. VTI). The idea being that by growing room in my sheltered accounts I can eventually save more on taxes than I would by sheltering bonds

I'd be interested in other people's comments on tax-sheltered-account strategies for tech workers.

>If you feel like you need stimulants to perform well in a job, you need to reconsider your career choices. It shouldn't be a rat race.

Would you say the same thing to someone with a physical handicap? I.e., "If you feel like you need a wheelchair to get around, you need to reconsider going outside the house"

I'm not trying to put words in your mouth, not saying you'd say something like that, but consider it from the medical perspective. Someone shouldn't have to struggle with a handicap just because it's mental instead of physical.
> I've tried my GF's meds once to see what it was (and using medication is one of the diagnosis tools they use);

Medication is a useful diagnosis tool, because the effects when it helps can be utterly profound. For me it was like I’d fully woken up for the first time in my life. My body physically calmed down, and I went from spending the majority of my idle time daydreaming to being calm and present in the world.

Please don’t take other peoples pills though, they’re tightly controlled usually with no buffer. If you take someones pill, that means they’ll have to reduce or skip a day. Imagine stealing someones reading glasses for a day—they’re gonna have to persist and deal with the possible migraine/eye pain.

> I found myself focusing and intetionally task switching for about two hours (that and palpitations), but I wouldn't say they "help"ed me.

You don’t need them. What you experienced is not what your GF experiences.

If you put on someone else’s prescription glasses, would you complain that they didn’t help you?

> It shouldn't be a rat race.

Everyone I know on stimulants for ADHD (myself included) would agree that the stimulants help them escape feeling they’re in a rat race.

A trait of ADHD is know precisely what needs to be done, and being incapable of making it happen. Medication helps with that. It’s not a cure. It doesn’t fix everything. It just makes some things easier.

It's kinda funny that people are still arguing about C99 adoption considering that C11/C17 are more widely supported than C99 is (due to it making some features optional). Microsoft's compiler supports C11.

Honestly I find it hard to understand sticking with C89. Even just the ability to sink variable declarations to the point of first assignment can make code a lot more readable and maintainable.

I like what El Salvador is trying to do but isn’t BCH better suited as an every day medium of exchange because of the larger block size and the ability to process more transactions per unit time?

Also, it seems to me that we should be settling to a BTC/BCH price that is at least loosely coupled to the energy costs of mining, no?

From the PDF:

The guy handling the affairs describes his experience:
"I have over 40 years of legal and restructuring experience. I have been the Chief Restructuring Officer or Chief Executive Officer in several of the largest corporate failures in history. I have supervised situations involving allegations of criminal activity and malfeasance (Enron)."

Then states:
"Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here. From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and potentially compromised individuals, this situation is unprecedented."
No. The entire purpose of cryptocurrency is to enable holding assets without intermediaries having custody of the assets. Whether or not you think this is valuable is another question, but it is undeniable that this is the technical ability that cryptocurrencies enable.

SBF created a giant custodial casino where one could bet on cryptocurrency prices, and people lost money that they gave him custody over. If they had held it in their own wallets, they would not have lost it. Many people in the cryptocurrency community spoke out against him for a long time.
This is like if SBF had a penchant for kilts, the media was asking “what does this mean for Scotland?”, actual Scottish people were saying “this has nothing to do with Scotland”, and you come in with the comment “nO tRuE ScOtSmAn”
Cultivators used to be very common before chemical sprays. They did work, but the energy - read CO2 emissions - was a lot higher. You are dragging some metal through the ground - think of aerodynamic problems on steroids.

Now there is opportunity to only put the hoe in the ground, and some are working on that. It will still use more energy than chemicals, but it only uses the energy where needed, and avoids chemical resistance so I think there is a place for it. (but see the other replies - there are other limits)

My personal preference rather than picking X over Y VPS provider is to spread my nodes out across several of them. This would especially be the case if I were running a revenue generating business. Providers have unplanned outages. Support teams of an individual provider can get overwhelmed and take lazy actions like those in this tweet.

By having applications and data distributed over multiple providers automation can change DNS when a provider is having issues even if said issues are self inflicted such as a lazy over-reaction to an abuse report. It may not be feasible for a company to have all their data replicated on all providers. This is probably OK. N+1 for hard to replicate data may be sufficient to have a degraded service rather than a full site down critical outage.

Another benefit to having multiple providers is letting them know the better they treat you, the more significant weight your automation will give to spinning up nodes there. Make them compete for your money.
Same here. Both in age (mid-30s) to being exactly how my daily life is to the point of a culture that had a misguided opinion on ADHD.

I shared before on HN that I'm still ongoing investigation with my therapist, after some 2-3 years of therapy and working around some anxiety issues I had we're narrowing it down to a very likely ADHD diagnosis.

The more I read and educate myself about it the more I believe I might have it. It's still hard for me to properly accept that this might be it, and not that I have an inherent failure of character by never being able to keep my focus, motivation, planning, etc. as well as what others can.

To be very honest, something inside me still don't want to believe that I very likely have ADHD, that part still shames me by telling that I'm just using this as a crutch for my failures, that it's just a convenient excuse for not being good enough at some mundane tasks.

It's exhausting, I'm glad I'm finally getting help because for the past 3-4 years I have been on a steadily downwards spiral. It's been very gradual until I got to this point where I can definitely tell I'm suffering mentally because of it...
The interesting thing about Nietzsche's eternal return of the same is that he must have known that there is no choice if loving, hating and thinking itself is part of the return.
The moment you decide will have have been over and over again and will be over and over again and your decision will always be the same.
But without a choice, there is no heroic stoicism.
It's philosophical predestination doctrine without God.

Wait, really? There were really redditors who sided with Bethesda/Zenimax instead of the artist? That's shockingly stupid, even for reddit.

Mathematically, the Fourier transform obeys an uncertainty principle. Here is a nice and simple writeup:

The discrete Fourier transform (which is what OP is talking about) doesn't satisfy an uncertainty principle as far as I know. The concept doesn't really make sense.

You can talk about these concepts without bringing information or precision into the picture.

Remember that the pressure is being applied by yourself. Nobody is demanding that you buy a home, work at faang, climb the career ladder, etc, except you. Stop giving yourself a hard time. You wouldn't give others a hard time about their career [or lack of one], would you?

The way I got there is: My goals were not very high. I made a crapton of personal projects and taught myself an insane amount by 19/20 so that I actually knew a good deal more technically and practically than some intermediate positions. I was overconfident and good at seeming very talented. I took jobs that didn't require a ton of technical or incredibly hard interviews. And I coasted for about the first 10 years. The next 10 I overworked myself because I thought I needed to, because I didn't want to do the job anymore and figured if I just did it better than anyone else I'd feel better about it. And finally I took jobs where I was literally making the world and people better.

The whole time, I gave myself crap for not getting enough done, and much of the time felt bad for "wasting" my time. Now I realize that I have a ton of life left still and no particular goals in mind, so who cares if it's a waste as long as I can enjoy the waste? And I do (mostly) enjoy my job and my free time now. Sure I don't own a home and the things I want deem farther off than for many others. Same is true for many other people, and that's fine. Whatever happens is just life and it's OK. Just sucks that it took me so long to realize that who I am is fine and doesn't need fixing.
No, it's not inconsistent. If you want to call this inconsistent, then the mutable version of the program is also inconsistent.
I would say it shows an icon on the system tray, but I think recent versions of Windows like to hide unused icons for whatever reason.

Fair, though traditionally when people talk about culture fit they are a lot of times asking "is this someone I could be friends/get a drink with" which is treading dangerous waters.
Didnt read their article. I have used warp to try it out like an idiot and realized that many of the things people have mentioned here were just things I did not know. Such as ALT + CLICK to bring my carot where I need it and CTRL+X and CTRL+E to use vim to edit more advanced stuff. I always use CTRL+A and CTRL+E on any shell to jump to front or back but I think I have enough information from this hackernews thread to uninstall warp.

It's about technical capability.

In this case, Discord is a very centralised service. They store all of the messages centrally, so can easily comply with the request.

Other services like email may not be able to do that, so they could use that as a defence when asked why they aren't deleting all data.
No. Email is private messaging.

If you send email to me and then delete it in your end, I'm allowed to store your email as a whole (sometimes legally obliged).
Sure? We were talking about data though.
I really hope these get hacked and used against their makers with maximum brutality.
There's a spectrum of things I can share with you over gmail. Currently, if I share an email with some formatted text and attachments up to 25MB, then it's yours to keep, but anything above 25MB is shared as a link to a Google Drive upload, which remains under my account, and I can always delete or modify.

But I don't see any particular reason for where exactly the line between the two should be - why wouldn't it be that I could make anything I shared with you ephemeral, a-la Snapchat? And going back to email, it was actually MS Exchange who have supported the option to "Recall this message" [0] for many years, while gmail decided to not implement anything like that.

"For every parcel I stoop down to seize

I lose some other off my arms and knees,

And the whole pile is slipping, bottles, buns --

Extremes too hard to comprehend at once,

Yet nothing I should care to leave behind.

With all I have to hold with hand and mind

And heart, if need be, I will do my best

To keep their building balanced at my breast.

I crouch down to prevent them as they fall;

Then sit down in the middle of them all.

I had to drop the armful in the road

And try to stack them in a better load."

Can’t imagine many top notch product or design people staying after reading that.

So, mediocre product vision and engineers who have been told performance is measured by LoC? What could possibly go wrong?

The one thing Twitter has going for it is Musk’s avid use of the product. To the extent he is representative of the user base at large, maybe he can pull off a Jobs-style “product vision from the CEO suite” success. Then again, Jobs didn’t get bored and wander off the way Musk tends to.

Contrast this to SBF's recent tweets and statements to the Vox reporter and you get a strong sense that SBF is somewhat delusional about his own competence and culpability in FTX's collapse.

The other thing college shows is that someone is capable of committing to a long term goal and seeing it through. That's important.

Note: I am not saying non-college grads cannot commit to a long term goal, there's plenty of reasons people don't or can't go to college. I'm only saying that a college degree is a signal.
Then why do you think they do it? It's obviously not for security.
