You are reading a lot into the OP's statement. A dense city has a much smaller environmental footprint than a sprawling suburb. The statement is just about the relative environmental impact of the two options nothing more.
Insisting that "last seen 2h ago" online indicator being green and nothing else, requiring border radius for text boxes etc are not objective in any way.
That seems the same problem of "why train track spacing is like it is" and the answer is "nothing actually technical".

It's amazing how far detached from reality the customers of shiny new car companies are.

These companies are giving them what they want. A cheaper lease but it looks the exact same as the more expensive one.
Feedback wanted – new CV landingpage and tool
Hey everyone, I would like to get some honest feedback on this new product I am working on. When I show it to friends and family, the feedback is obviously biased, therefore I came here.

I would appreciate feedback on three things in particular.
1) How well do you understand the product based on the landingpage? 2) Do you see a need for it, maybe even for yourself? 3) What do you think about the design of the landingpage, what is good, what can be improved?

Thanks in advance to the community for helping out here! Cheers
Makes sense, and I guess it’s semantics, but if the language/interpreter is handling which numeric types to use for me, should it really be sold as “strongly typed” in the main tagline for the language?

Internally, float and int are completely different types, 2’s compliment vs ieee754. Conglomerating them to a “number” feels like weak typing.

(Disclaimer: I’m a grumpy C++ engineer.)

Edit: it does look like a neat/useable language though!
Divorcing an employee from prior company culture is all about shock therapy. When you transplant a team from one company to another then breaking past culture is your number one priority or you will never get the loyalty of those employees to the new company's cause.

Commentators who question and chastise the motives of Elon and what he's doing to Twitter don't understand that you have to break the current culture at the earliest opportunity or you have lost the momentum to do it. It is why old Twitter is dead and those left are so fine-tuned to the Cult of Elon.

It's just basic psychology TBH.
Yes I like my apartment. The commute is just a few stops. I like the office, prefer to WFH. I like the suburbs but wife would rather be in the city, I'm happy here too. The main point is that living in a city and commuting probably has a smaller environmental impact than WFH, which is the opposite of what OP is saying.
...or in Python with generators/iterators. Or in Lua with coroutines. Or in Rust with iterators...

I guess most higher-ish languages at some point gain support/framework for something like this. But the point stands: there's something both simple and powerful with pipeline abstraction. I think of pipeline as a way of thought. Something that bridges the gap between "user" and "programmer". It's no wonder some of that "way of thinking" was implemented into programming languages (with obvious and non-obvious implications, not limited to memory requirements).

When you're the 20th most populated country, yes, arguably.
I'm so fed up of typing long, well reasoned, balanced replies to this attitude. I'm angry at this point.

My friend, we/they have a physical neurological defect that is helped by medication. We are not high.

Like someone who is short sighted benefits from glasses.
>So it actually seems that in the logistics line of things like manufacturing / production / etc. there is a place for blockchain, mainly due to the immutability and decentralized distribution properties. What could take a whole week to track down using older methods, takes seconds if all the data is recorded on the blockchain...for example, food production. You want to find out exactly which animal your food comes from, and all the things involved (use of antibiotics? which factory? how did the product travel before ending up at your grocery store? etc.).

The usual shitty dismissive HN response to this would be something like "but that doesn't require a block chain it could just be a database".

To those people I would ask who is running that database? What are their incentives?

Forget about the currency uses of block chains for a moment. The fact that you have this distributed network, controlled by nobody in particular but with their incentives aligned to keep it running and keep it secure, means that you have a platform you can build other stuff on top of.

An Ethereum smart contract is a type of append only database, the code of which is strongly open source and very battle tested (basically everyone is using openzeppelin), where you do not have to care about where or by who it is being hosted, with an uptime that puts every hosting provider in existence today to shame.
I have a '99 Honda. That's what it costs, on average, in maintenance costs to keep it on the road. I'm just going to keep doing that. New cars are just nuts.

I'm honestly curious, is Mercedes still relevant enough for post-boomers for anyone to actually care? As far as I understood they try to position themselves more into the premium niche anyway.
You're still missing the forest for the trees. All of this was created in the last 2-3 years and already it's replicated most of what's in traditional finance. It's the rate of innovation that is important, not the current y-intercept.

Furthermore this is a global system that anyone can contribute to. How hard do you think it is for I as an Australian to build a financial firm that interfaces with Bank of America or the NYSE? It's almost impossible. In DeFi I can spin up my own app in days.

Aave is used for being able to borrow against your crypto assets, so if you need a loan you don't have to sell, this isn't a service any bank offers. You can also just deposit your assets and earn interest on them.

In 2009 most of my colleagues similarly dismissed AWS "Oh it's just some easy storage with a way to spin up servers, big deal. Bare metal is cheaper and easier". It wasn't until most business components were automated that it became an obvious choice.

Now imagine you're starting a new financial firm and want to offer an exchange, options, perpetuals, savings accounts, loans etc. You could build all these pieces yourself for a few million dollars and a few years work. Or you could use DeFi protocols, build a nice easy to use front-end and be up and running in a few months.
Correct and the breakup of the UK will likely lead to a United Ireland. The real question is what will England use for a TLD? They've never considered their place in the world that isn't in reference to the UK or GB because to them the two are interchangeable.
Amazon’s book unit was profitable within a couple of years (say by the time Clinton was re-elected), and that pattern continued for each business line. They invested all of the profits in expansion so “analysts” would say they were doomed but anyone who looked at the numbers could see they could report a profit any time they wanted by halting expansion.

Comparisons to the internet timeframes are hard to make because there’s a key difference: computers were expensive and slow, and network connectivity was very limited. The Apple II was a major advance in accessibility and that brought the price down to roughly the equivalent of $6k today - and you still needed to buy a monitor and modem to get online! This is a huge contrast to the way blockchains have been basically globally available since day one.

It’s also worth noting that the internet and the web are not the same. While the latter’s popularity depended on things which weren’t available earlier like GUIs, better displays, etc. that doesn’t mean that there weren’t plenty of people paying for network access before then. There were clear uses of value to many people – people loved email, software downloads beat shipping floppies by mail and led to the shareware business model, services provided access to information like real-time stock quotes, etc. - and profitable businesses existed before the web came along. If memory serves, the first wedding from an online relationship happened in the late 70s, too, so it’s not like people were only paying for business reasons.

The contrast with cryptocurrencies is substantial: many people saw the value, it was just a question of whether they could afford it and as soon as prices dropped waves of people came online and never left. Blockchain apps have had enormous investment but there hasn’t been anything like that other than speculation on whether a number will go up. It’s been quite noticeable that none of the people who’ve asked me for tech advice for years have ever asked about a blockchain tech or mentioned using one except the guy who likes trading penny stocks instead of going to casinos.

My work experience is that it happens everywhere crackdowns and directives get in the way of productivity. Ultimately between getting things done and sticking to the rules, people often pick the first option. I'm also guilty of it to an extent.
No, you're reading it wrong. They choose to live in a smaller apartment in the city, it's a *short commute* to office and don't have to drive 20-30 minutes for basic errands. Also, not every has/wants kids.
I read elsewhere on HN the other day that a PSCI API extension patch is awaiting upstream review to be merged into the Linux kernel and that power management would work better with that merged. May be an usable Asahilinux on M* MacBooks are not that far off..
That's upsetting, but what else would I expect from a senator's website that's probably been up for 25 years...
The majority of advertising on environmental initiatives ("hey go out there and recycle" and that kind of crap) is funded by polluters to shift the conversation from a manufacturer problem to a consumer problem. You need to ask "who is advertising" and "who is the market."

So let's say Zoom wanted to run an initiative like this… the market wouldn't be workers, it's be the bosses. So already you're talking about a tiny sliver of the population. No billboards or tv spends, that's for the mass market.

Okay, now that you've identified the target audience, what do they respond to? "This way of working that most of you hate, it's happy days and sunshine?" No, they respond to money. The campaign that would resonate with bosses is "your office lease costs too much money." Environmental concerns wouldn't even measure up.

Having said all this, I suppose one could make the case that remote-work-apps could advertise to "shift the conversation" amongst workers to demand remote-work for the sake of the environment, but I personally don't think anyone in America at least believes in this kind of grass-roots influence in business, that's too socialist.
What is the status of any GUI toolkit on it? Can you run things like Bash and the rest of the Linux toolchain (this might depend on glibc being ported?)?
I've used Thunderbird with gmail since basically forever. It works fine.
I mean, just bigger apartment is also solution that doesn't have that much of an environmental impact (the space "wasted" is saved by less office buildings).
If only one node is being drained then yes.

If you want to drain 3 nodes as fast as possible it's best to start by cordoning all 3 of them and after that run drain on each respectively. This will cause minimal unnecessary interruption of pods. What we want to avoid is that new pods start on nodes that we soon want to remove/drain.
Yes, this is an essential point, and the great circularity is not at all obvious. You can't start by talking about "inputs" and "outputs". At that stage you're already talking about "the mind" in a reality furnished to you by the mind, and perhaps little to do with what the mind does or how to "carve reality at the joints". At level zero we have no insight at all into what Kant called "the thing in itself" -- our reasoning begins at pre-furnished objects.

It is not at all obvious that we have the preconditions necessary to discover "what minds are" or "how they work".

As long as these subscription features are only for “performance options” is okay and legit, if you want more speed you pay more (I don’t know who need it but I don’t judge).

The important thing is to keep the basic features free from this method.

And for basic features I mean all the safety stuff/ADAS. You can pay more to gain speed but not to gain safety!

There can be parties exaggerating the severity of an issue to lend credence to their proposed solution. Bonus points if the proposed solution won’t solve the root cause, but will give more power and control over people to government.

Kind of like Republicans on the southern border. The issue can exist, the extent of the issue can be exaggerated, and the proposed solution would do nothing to solve the root cause.
> I don't know that larger places are necessarily optional

Dogs are optional, and I hear people cite them as a reason to move to a bigger place all the time. It also seems like "get a dog" is the first thing a lot of people do when they get into a WFH situation.
We hire if there is 10x-impact on tumblr's growth AND revenue.

It seems they only hire people that can increase there revenue from 65 million to 650 million dollar.

That is not hiring or worth a blogpost.
As someone who grew up and lives in NI, I'm suspicious that the awful state of the place is because the UK knows NI will rejoin Ireland in the nearish future, so why would they invest in infrastructure here?

It used to be the case that the roads would get noticeably worse as you crossed the border into the republic, now the situation is reversed.
Came here to post this, saw your post and went to agree instead.

Really though, some design aspects are objective, but some are not. The author of the page seemed to be relatively on point though about whats objective and whats not.
If you could 100% WFH moving to just smaller city (instead of to suburbs of a bigger city) is always an option.
Maybe, but consider this. First, you are unlikely to get a 1:1 overlap between the 20% staff you retain and the most impactful 20%. Next, business is not a sprint, it's a marathon relay race - the people you need will depend on the product, development phase, and market changes. Last, there is a difference between survive and thrive. Your business may limp along on life-support until it recovers (in part from re-hiring enough staff), or more likely, dies a slow agonizing death. If you cut 80% of your staff I think the loss of institutional knowledge alone could prevent thriving.

These are some of the reports to consider:

* Twitter had around 7500 staff when Elon Musk purchased it. Twitter by many accounts now has less than 1000 staff. Some accounts place that number less than 500.

* I think the losses aren't done. Elon Musk reportedly started reviewing every coder's performance, accomplishments over the last six months, and code snippets. He might be going to give the best of them a bonus (inciting jealousy and possible resignations in some of the others). More likely in my opinion, he's going to fire more people.

* Advertisers are seeming to shun Twitter now. See GroupM's labeling of Twitter a 'high risk' [1]. Hiring, or re-hiring, needed staff will be hard with the volatility perceived and with a lack of money as inducement.

I love Twitter, and use it for many things. It's too early to say Twitter's ultimate fate for certain, but I suspect this Thanksgiving will be Twitter's last. Banks could always buy a failing Twitter and bring it back. Who knows?

I get paid to jump into completely new (though mostly old) code bases that have problems. But those are mobile apps implemented on a tech stack I'm familiar with. Twitter-scale is totally different. I have a family member who works at keeping major parts of a major platform running. At that scale you make your own tools. Nobody outside the company is ready to use those tools without training.
I think the main problem is lack of expressiveness (what does True mean?). Since your examples seem to be in Python, I would solve it there with named parameters, maybe even giving them default values. That way the code may be abstract, but it is also informative.
currently working on a passion project that _could_ have a large impact. i think levels.fyi has added a lot of value to individuals in negotiation and job selection. i'm hoping i can contribute for contractors/freelancers via https://hourly.fyi/

In all honesty you have probably been in culty things

Most aren’t extreme - there’s also just the toxic, narcissistic leader people are eager to please, that attracts sycophants and exerts a high level of ostracism on folks that don’t conform. You can find yourself backing into these situations almost unconsciously. There’s an entire field of studying malignant narcissists and high control groups. And we all have a little narcissism / eagerness to belong we need to look out for.

Many mundane workplace settings, community groups, political movements, sports teams can easily become “culty”
Same here. Stopped after this one because I kept being told that dark patterns were correct.

Elon Musk Explains Why He's Never Letting Alex Jones Back on Twitter
What a hilarious and asinine way to torpedo your own brand. It seems that Mercedes and BMW want to be known as the "Spirit Airlines of electric cars."

...except at least Spirit Airlines is cheap. The Mercedes EQS sedan starts at $102k for relatively middling performance of 5.9s 0-60 and range of 350 milse. I have no doubt that the EQS is a more luxurious car, but the Tesla Model S is $105k for significantly better performance of 3.1s 0-60 and better range at 405 miles.

I doubt anyone is cross-shopping a Model 3 against a Mercedes, but the economics are almost comical in favor of the 3. Model 3 $63k for 3.1s 0-60 and 315 miles of range.

I can only wonder who would buy this. Pay a significant premium for a Mercedes and then stuck with a $100/month subscription? I'd love to hear from someone who is into this, and why.
The challenges I found with FHE in practice (where I have been asked to anticipate its availability as part of system architecture) are that even with demo code available, without some certification body acknowledging proofs of its security, and blessed by a risk nullifying entity like NIST, it wasn't going to get traction.

I like this article's crypto wallet use case, and it may be worth codifying transactions that FHE protects. The {who, what, when, where, why, how} of a transaction has a lot of data, and what this SpiralDB does is protect {what}, although {who, when, where, why, how} are available, so you need to articulate the use case.

The one I worked on was for health information, but that case is essentially nullified now, as the pandemic was leveraged to squeeze the data toothpaste out of the tube in major jurisdictions, and so the data sets FHE was going to be a big solution for have been accessed using a political/process solution without the limitations of a technical one. The main use case for FHE was to faciliate individual privacy, which is essentially a limit on state discretion and powers that facilitated data access through strict legal frameworks, but a lot of data governance was completely compromised and gutted over the pandemic, so I no longer foresee demand for FHE in this new era of aggressively technocratic policy where the reason to use FHE isn't enforced. The tech is inseperable from the policy in this domain, and the rug has been pulled out from under the policy, imo.

Yeah. You can also argue that Git and IPFS aren't really blockchain, but at some point that's just splitting hairs...

needlessly requiring people to move themselves into offices

I've been on multiple sides of this environment over my 3+ decades in the job market: managed people in office, managed people while I worked remotely, worked in an office, worked remotely (mostly for the last 13 years).

I'm very sympathetic to remote work, but my experience tells me that your "needlessly" is not well-founded.
As usual, I find myself nodding in agreement whenever I read anything written by Morgan Housel on this blog. It is evident he has thought deeply about the topic of each post, and wants to share his hard-earned insights with the rest of the world.
