> I don't think it was the intent for people to amass a multi-billion dollar accumulation in their Roth account

Intent doesn't matter now. The rule is the rule.

You can't call foul and say it's "wrong" when someone plays by the rules and wins.

If you want to advocate for changing the rules that's fine. But don't forget to consider the non-billionaire Roth holders out there, the ones that are "right", who may be affected by a rule change.

This is the situation where you escalate to their boss. If you don't have the clout, have your boss or your skip-levels escalate.

Don't accommodate bad behavior by others. Get email documentation so when they cause your things to break you have leverage.

Fortune 500s operate this way. CxOs like the crab-in-a-bucket approach because they get to be heroes and build their empires on the corpses of failed departments they take over. Tell them exactly what you need of them and why things are breaking and they are all too happy to assist since this aligns to their incentives. If they fail to help, your department is the one that will soon be the corpse, and you can freshen the resume.

(Note: I personally hate those kinds of organizational dynamics, but its one thing to find them distasteful but useful and another to deny their existence).
> Does anyone have a real-world example of where this is applied?

When you want to make an array of different structs that can be used in a homogeneous way. For example I made a Redis client library that has a bunch of commands implemented as structs (GET, SET, etc). You can't just put them into an array directly because each is its own type, but they all support being sent to Redis when passed to a client instance.

Putting those commands into a tagged union helps with the creation of things like interactive CLI clients.
When I'm working for someone else, I'm usually around Level 4. Most difficulties are details I know don't really matter like dealing with others, especially meetings and calls. I stay on top of them, but I'd prefer to never have to deal with them, taking time away from what's really important.

When I'm building something for myself, I'm almost always at Level 2. At Level 1, I never finish anything. At Levels 3 and above, I never seem to find the time to dig deep enough to build it good enough.

I honestly believe that the greatest stuff can get built at Level 2, which I've always thought of as the "Baby Bear Level", not too hot, not too cold, just right.

I don't think I've ever allowed myself to get above Level 4. My father and all my uncles seemed to be around Level 6 or Level 7 their whole lives at work to make a couple more bucks. They all worked themselves to death. I vowed I would never do that. Sure, I could have done more and earned more, but I kept my promise to myself.

I'm taking a little break for this HN visit, but the results of what I was working on before look good and I'm excited to move on. No immediate deadline. Loose schedule. Going to have a ball getting 5 or 6 things done today. For me, this is the only way to work.

> the future is swarms of small robots rather than a few big tractors:

You are missing something important: soil compaction is a sub linear function of weight. which means that larger tractors that cover more area with the same tire tracks are must friendly for the soil, compared to many small tractors. Because of this factor larger is better. Eventually we may get to the point where the tractor runs on tracks, to allow even bigger tractors that touch a smaller are of soil.

Sure flying drones will have less soil compaction, and they will have a place in the future, but keeping something in the air uses vastly more energy than wheels on the ground.

Not every disability is visible. By definition they have a significant impact on someones life, as such there isn’t use for competition.

A wheelchair is a great comparison. Both enable someone to do something they previously couldn’t. Both are temporary, and stop being useful when removed. Both have a very different effect on someone who does not need them.

> I don't want to get addicted to another thing in my life
FWIW, among those I know with ADHD taking stimulant meds, addiction is not a concern but remembering to take them is.

> I don't feel "more like myself" on speed

Do you have a deficit of dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine? If not you’re experience will be very different from someone who does.
Even then, some stimulants work better for certain people, and for other only non-stimulants work.
Our brains are complex, and our experiences are not universal.
Speed is also a pretty catch all term, and the ratios of salts have a huge impact on the effect. It may not be very comparable to pharmaceuticals.

> I seriously doubt most positive effect would persist after a year of using and rising tolerance.

People have been taking stimulants for ADHD for decades, but I think its effect is not what you think to an ADHD brain. It’s more akin to reading glasses.

Show HN: Hurlurl, a Randomizing Link Shorter
For an event at https://hellopaint.io we needed something that forwards to a random url from a list of urls (We created multiple drawing rooms and wanted people to evenly distribute across them during a twitch stream).

It could also be used to forward to a random Website or a random YouTube video, but I'm thinking if I should limit it so all links have to redirect to the same domain, to limit the potential of abuse.

Since I couldn't find any such service, I made one myself. (later I found this: https://randurl.com/ but it doesn't provide any statistics)

It's made using Rust, Yew, daisyUI and Postgres

So you're saying that the more people disagree with you, the more entrenched you become in your position?

That doesn't sound like a healthy way to form opinions.
I disagree. The terseness of APL is the worst part about it. Its arcane symbols are a close second.

I don't want my programming language to be as terse as possible. I want it to be easy to read and maintain. I don't see how APL is a step in the right direction at all, and IMO should just be relegated to the dustbin of history as a failed experiment.
Speaking as a data practitioner -
data lineage is a profoundly hard and still unsolved problem.

In the last few years, I feel like we've begun to crack it - dbt's data lineage graph is a huge advance over anything I've ever used before:

https://docs.getdbt.com/terms/data-lineage

But in general - as an industry, we aren't there yet. All judgments about Meta's practices aside - no large organization likely has the ability to comply with a law like this without years or decades of engineering work, and the law seems pretty clearly intended for selective enforcement.
If those sequences of steps are intentionally designed I lean more towards it being algorithm. It gets a little confusing when thinking about writing a path finding algorithm that takes you from A to B using randomness to get there (trying different spatial directions)

You wrote the code that tries random directions, but you are not choosing which directions it takes when executed.
Wouldn't call the issue on article major (edit: and it's more of GNOME than Ubuntu issue). Installing Steam removing the desktop environment on the other hand...
Ah! This question which offends as many people as it pleases (because it is a correct question).

Some people in academia are actually trying to solve this issue. You may look at:

3. A course based on the above book: https://learnaifromscratch.github.io/software.html
Similar case here. In rational circles a study (or studies) came around showing that learning outcomes between the medicated and unmedicated are roughly the same even if testing performance is better on medication. Since I improved my sleep (and lowered distractions), I've had no issues performing or focusing as needed, at least as much as the next guy.

I think the meds are a double-edged sword, and the compromise may be more appropriate for some than others. I also think even more strongly that despite real cases, ADHD medication is overprescribed in the West. If school was boring and I'm a daydreamer, do I need to be "corrected"?
Wrong Direction? Not Normal?

Do they expect the same performance for half the price? And measuring it by volume in Cubic inches?

While The verge hasn't earned a spot in my RSS feeds, I have always thought their reporting were of high quality. This Editorial, however shows a lack of basic understanding how GPU performance works, sales, TDP, production cost, R&D, Fabs, and AIB works.

yawn Wake me up when they start imposing €800k fines on businesses that can't afford to pay. Right now, GDPR feels like a way to shake down large businesses for free money, not a serious law they want to impose for principled reasons.

It's unfortunate the GNOME is still the default desktop environment for most Linux distributions. People give Linux a try, then give up because it's unstable and difficult to troubleshoot. Linux itself is stable (given the right hardware drivers), and provides a solid foundation for a well designed desktop environment. It's GNOME that's a mess.

One of the core strengths of Linux is its modularity, with parts being easily swapped so distro managers or end users can customize what they need. GNOME goes against this by taking on hardware management tasks that are well outside the scope of a desktop environment and munging it all into a giant ball of complexity so everything depends on everything else. If the GNOME project had the resources to hire a massive QA team to catch issues like this, it wouldn't be such a problem. But they don't, so GNOME's shortcomings and poor design choices give desktop Linux a bad reputation.

And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out.

You don't have to have a presence established in the EU to be under EU jurisdiction. Any european user makes you responsible to ensure GDPR rules for that user.

So even if Discord had no presence in the entire EU, no office, no worker, no nothing, it doesn't absolve the company from staying within GDPR rules for their european users.

Only way to get out of that problem is to block any user with a european IP, although even then you could have users using a VPN, not sure how this would handle before the law.

APL could serve the niche as a write only language. Not for code to be maintained, but for one offs. Of course, those one offs inevitably become code to be maintained, so maybe this niche doesn’t really exist.
I couldn’t disagree more strongly. Not everything is War or Peace, and everyone is going to to struggle with something significant in life. Having deep, trusting bonds (brotherhood) is a source of security, even if the challenge is as boring and common as a passing illness.
I agree. There is mouse lag during high CPU load in Wayland that I never had in X11, but if I switch back to the X11 desktop then mouseover/hover cursor changes are broken in Firefox. I can't find solutions to either of these issues, so I'm seemingly stuck with one or the other, unless I reinstall and downgrade to 20.04.
I have yet to fully grok and rein in pulse. It's just easy enough to fix it ad-hoc that I never bother to dive in and resolve my issues fully.

This is why, as a freelancer, you _always_ negotiate for a time contract (getting paid for hours - not even for chunks of work) and upfront payment. Expecting to get paid for work that may or may not get approved is almost asking to get in trouble. (Almost - of course, I'm not blaming Mike for signing an unfair contract, I hope he wins this.)

A big company already has enormous power over a lone person, no need to give them more. If ID didn't crank their assholeness up to 11 and try to publicly smear Mike, Mike would surely lose this in court.
Not quite.

If they wanted to stop you selling, they'd accept (and encourage) deposits. Then just not credit your account for 6 hours. Or pause USDT sales on their exchange. Either way, you would be prevented from selling AND from selling elsewhere.

You're suggesting that most of those that hate Javascript do so because someone told them they should and not because they've used it? From[1]:

> In 2008 Crockford published a book announcing his discovery that Javascript, contrary to prevailing opinion, has good parts. He describes this as "heresy", and as "possibly the first important discovery of the 21st century", noting that it came as a "great surprise to the community of javascript developers, and to the world at large." He attributes the discovery to his having read the ECMAScript Standard, which he says "literally changed my life." He also notes that the specification document is of "extremely poor quality", "hard to read", "hard to understand", and says that the ECMA and the TC39 committee "should be deeply embarrassed".

I own that book and I still hate Javascript (it's not the fault of the book). Is there another language with such a book?

It's pretty par for the course for the Gnome team. Gnome 3 had a major impact usability on every single distro, and there were many more problems following that.

The Ubuntu team probably doesn't feel safe updating the Settings app without extensive regression testing.
> The case raised some concerns of civil rights and legal process in the United States, and ended in the charges against Sklyarov dropped and Elcomsoft ruled not guilty under the applicable jurisdiction.

So it's an example of "law enforcement can and sometimes do illegally attest / cause other issues unfairly", but not really a good example of a law being imposed outside the country which made that law.

To the Cryptoskeptics of HN, does this seem like a legitimate use case of Blockchain to you?
I cannot read the whole article because of the paywall, but I do find it ironic that "tech" consists of Meta, Twitter, Salesforce, Stripe, and some other companies while there are hundreds of smaller tech companies that seem to be doing ok.

Some of the above companies have become huge monoliths and this is the market adjusting itself. The companies growth has slowed and smaller, leaner, more agile companies are out maneuvering them.

It sucks to see people losing their jobs and getting laid off, but the recession and closing market space has triggered off more wartime CEO actions instead of peacetime CEO. Instead of expanding, these leaders realized their expansion is or has come to an end and instead they are cutting all the excess they can to stay afloat.

And while I do not like Elon Musk or Mark Zuckerberg, I think they are reading the market correctly on what is coming and what they can do to put their businesses in the right place for the future.

GDPR applies to any company that offers services to EU residents. It doesn’t matter if the company has any presence in the EU.

Now, that means EU may not necessarily be able to force the company operating in a different country to pay up but if a company has any significant EU customer base, I assume they will play ball.

Chat apps had that behavior since decades ago, ever since Windows95 got a systray. It's nothing new or special, it's kind of expected at this point.

Though I think here is a failure of Microsoft to improve the UI and use different symbols for closing the app and suspending it into the systray.

Either way, seems like a rather strict interpretation of 25.2. That said, I kind of welcome it. The principle of least surprise is something that should be much more strictly enforced and a lot of social apps make it way to easy to accidentally leak data into the public.
Let's be fair. APL is write-only whereas e.g. Python is not, only in the same sense math notation in scientific papers is write-only whereas elementary school summation is not - the former is much more ergonomic once you have the prerequisite knowledge and experience, but most people only need the latter to conduct their business.
