To be fair the transition to ESM has been quite the trainwreck. Sometimes I wonder if it was really worth it.

Parenthood didn't brake me for one. Actually, I found strength I didn't know I had and my priorities went into sharp focus.
The art direction of that game is probably the best I've ever seen. It's incredibly cohesive and very, very deep. Everything from the architecture, to clothing, lighting and colour palettes is in perfect harmony.
An unexpected book that I read years ago, was "Dating Japanese Women Secrets". It had some eye opening concepts and advice in general, not just for Japan. Along those lines is a book titled "Fundamentals of Female Dynamics", and it also goes against the grain and conventional thinking. I believe both are still on Kobo or Amazon.

Overall, a lot of guys don't take a moment to look more deeply into the overall picture of what is going on, but instead think everything is innate and/or are instead getting sucked into a game where they will constantly lose. Life is way too short for that. The argument more guys need to be making, is about what's truly helping their situation. Is the usage and way of using a dating app/site really doing that?

Citizens United case means that, by design, there will be no evidence of money transfers from foreign powers to US elections.

so the idea we can 'find no evidence' is because people rigged the system so there would be no evidence.

Democrats could start taking money directly from Xi Jingping or from some communist in Venezuela and we would never know about it. Republicans can take money from the Saudis and we would never know about it. This is the reality of modern politics in the US.

When I was 18, I went on a short exchange to a little town in the south of France, and the first day there our hosts took us to get lunch. To our great surprise they picked up a number of bottles of wine to drink in the middle of the school day. We asked them why. Their answer was "beer is too expensive".
WhatsApp, 50 engineers, > 1 billion users daily, sold to Facebook for $19 billions.
Dead cat bounce. Engineers are paid $1000 a day because they create value to the tune of $10 000 a day. So maybe you saved $4 million a day in very short term, but now the momentum is gone, and soon you will not be earning $40 million a day from the value that now was not being created, just in a "few" short months.

I wish Elon the best, but he could have hired his own team of "hardcore" engineers and put them to work 80 hours a week, spending a fraction of the price that was paid.

What a waste.
I would add to that when people move to next job DSL dies I don't have a need for that DSL in next company. I could try to implement there - but IP rights would prevent that, getting new people on board with my ideas is just so much work that it is not useful.

That is like learning some SaaS application ins and outs you switch jobs and that specific experience is not useful at all for you.

General purpose language on the other hand is useful even if you move from one country to another and take job in different business niche.

As a developer there is no upside for me to spend my time on diving into some DSL I wont use in next job.

As a business person there is no upside for me to spend my time learning DSL or specific application interface in and out that I won't use in next job or in different position.
The question is who is left holding the bag? If the stakeholders get paid, they are happy. The new owner is debt free, and have an ownership, so that's good. It seems to me that it may go two ways: either the lenders will be left holding the empty bag, if they can't make the money back - and it's their fault for doing a bad due diligence; OR the company gets sold off piece by piece to satisfy creditors (if they can't make the business work), which again a good thing - what purpose serves a company that cannot produce a profit ?
This book would certainly make a good script, surprised it's not getting that many mentions
Strangely, I just finished watching Moneyball about a minute ago, open HN, and see this quote from the film! That was an unbelievable coincidence!
Our biggest use was orgasm sounds until it got shut down. :(
When someone is laboring under the misapprehension that online "trolls" are popular and committing very real crimes as a result, clarifying the history of that word is absolutely appropriate. That's the very opposite of defending cruel griefers.
There is Elon's private wealth, mostly in tesla stock from what I understand. The cash and assets from the companies at which he is (majority) owner, CEO or a combination thereof are not his, they belong to his companies, which are separate legal entities.
So, if I want to book the night from Jan 13th to Jan 14th on AirBNB (which is the very first example given in the post), I should search for "Arrival Jan13th, Departure Jan 13th"?

As with any piece of advice, there are cases where it applies and cases where it does not apply. Or, in other words, someone can claim "Well, of course!" for the opposite advice.
But that doesn't explain the incentive for Amazon to hire anyone from Costa Rica at 3x higher salary? If education/skills are the same why not just hire more Indians (or ppl from some other, cheaper Latin America country) and save a lot of money? Hell, they could easily open a center in many parts of Eastern Europe and still hire people for far less than those $800.
And what about the top 1%?

Say they have 20% of the income, how much of the total tax burden should they bear?

I have fond memories of playing this with a friend - taking turns mapping and controlling the game. So much grid paper :) That, and cleaning up the maps when you ended up walking off the edge of the paper (most levels would fit on one to two sheets of a4 grid paper IIRC - but only if properly centered).

There were also maps floating around on usenet(?) and walk-through published in magazines.
To be honest, growth. I work at a tech company of a similar size, and keeping the lights on, so to speak, from a systems perspective is something we can do with a few engineers. By far the bulk of employees at my company are in R&D, sales, business operations, infrastructure growth, etc. If you build a resilient architecture, keeping something like Twitter simply running wouldn’t take that many people.
Current smartphones have infinite number of buttons due to touch screen.
And some would say this is a deliberate adversarial tactic to guide people to surrender their privacy and freedoms, because those that would defend them can't sufficiently explain the complexity to be more convincing than 'simple' messages.

I never cease to marvel at how ancient cultures are still leaving their mark on us. My own favorite is how the cult of Isis morphed into the cult of the virgin Mary [0], and that the ancient Egyptian tradition (think ~4000+ years ago) of carrying statues of gods around on floats is still very much alive in most (all?) predominantly catholic countries.

"Code commands" is very plausibly an autocomplete flub of what was supposed to be "code commits." When I type "code comm" my iPhone offers up "commands" as the completion.

I've seen a lot of mockery of this request, but I suspect people aren't considering the wide variance in employee quality that can exist within a mismanaged organization. What Musk was asking for here wouldn't be a good way to evaluate skilled, conscientious developers, but it would be a pretty effective way to rapidly identify people who are basically incompetent or just aren't really doing anything.

Calling SQL a "little language" must surely be a joke. Even if you ignore the differences between its many dialects, SQL is only "little" in that it is domain-specific rather than general purpose.

In fact the entire article seems to boil down to "DSLs are the future", which I'm sure I've seen articles about back when Ruby on Rails was dominating web technologies, Cucumber (and its various ports) created "BDD" testing fad and DevOps started gaining traction on top of various "Ruby DSLs" used as configuration formats.

I don't think DSLs are going to go away any time soon. But there is a trade-off between domain-specific "little languages" and general purpose programming languages (or "DSLs" that are actually subsets of the latter). It can be fun to have to work with a little language, it's not so fun to work with dozens of them, each with different rules you have to memorize, instead of just being able to use the same language for all (and in truth, this was the source of the Ruby DSL craze because developers were already using Ruby on Rails).
Understandable, given his condition.

Autism can be an experience of having all your senses, empathy and emotions turned up to 11 while everyone around you is behaving in seemingly irrational ways you have no way of understanding except through the vicious pain other people steadily inflict on you.

Imagine growing up like that. Not just occasionally but every day for decades. It dulls something.
> As you heard from the video, the first GP did not give a referral after more than seven months, and the second had to be persuaded.

How do you know the referral was medically necessary? Just because someone gave in in the end doesn't mean it was a boolean decision.

Perhaps there is more to running the NHS than saying everyone who is demanding elective procedures should get them in 18 weeks. It would be lovely if it were true but i know people who, thanks to the NHS and its political football nature, have died or are dying or left to suffer for years in physical pain.

Obviously the real wider debate is why the NHS, which should be the most efficient possible organisation is in fact a horror show (if your demands are an infinitely scalable healthcare solution). When it was "founded", or rather when it appropriated the nation's existing medical infrastructure (GPs are still all private) the scope of treatment was . If you think <current year> sudden new demands such as trans services (practically unheard of 20, which were invented in the modern era thanks to innovation in medicine to allow indulgences unknown to human civilisation before the technology existed - i think resources can be better used. Private options are available as are used by others for similar things. The DDOSing on the NHS is bad enough.

Yeah sorry I had a brain fart and was thinking of stable pagination w/ compound sort+filter. It doesn't matter if id is UUID, sigh.

Where date > y or (date eq y and id > x) order by date, id

This can't be completely fulfilled by an index. It'll have to sort/merge somevresults in memory, very CPU expensive.

10% of market and wine experts are real. The rest is overpriced wines of doubtful quality, fake prices just to give prestige, and so forth. As a rule of thumb, spending 20-50 euros per bottle you can drink italian top wines (French wines are more costly). If you are spending 350 euros for a bottle of Sassicaia or paying a Bordeaux 800 euros, you are probably misleaded by the market. It's not that a top quality Bordeaux is not a great wine, but after the 30/40 euros the quality gain is only marginal and non linear at all, so sometimes a cheaper wine of a less famous maker is going to be better than a wine you pay a lot. 90% of trained customers (the ones that did some kind of 3 months course) can't tell great wines from mediocre wines apart.

Bonus: want to drink a top quality italian wine spending just 30 euros? Buy a couple of bottles of Passorosso by Franchetti. Etna Red, Sicily. Drink it together with some top quality French pinot noir and tell me if it's not on par.

This really only works in situations where people are typically underpaid and need to get up to some living standard.

Adding sugar to wine is considered a great offense, and is not only illegal in France, but a disagrace. Still, some winemaker wake up in the middle of the night to do it in secret because it's hard to get a sweet taste or more alcohol naturally. Therefor, the anti-freeze workaround is not surprising.

A hot-take is simply a controversial opinion - but not necessarily an indefensible one.

Oftentimes people will have a genuinely good, well-informed and reasoned opinion but can’t put it into the right words - or it gets misinterpreted thanks to ambiguity of intonation-less text - and ends-up getting ratioed.

It helps to attach a pepper emoji so people know you’re at least being self-aware.

At least for me that adds to fun.
> Never, ever, ever use [closed, closed] intervals

I’m not really a fan of “never,” or “always” rules, when it comes to programming. I’ve found it’s usually better to have a “make sure to justify deviations from” heuristics.

I usually use [closed..open) ranges (as they are called in Swift), but sometimes, an inclusive range is a lot more appropriate, for expressing an operation (for example, I may express a range as start...end, as opposed to start..<(end + 1)).
Because it is not a performance art.
The banks committed to the loans at the point of the takeover proposal (end of April). The macroeconomic lookout was better. Since then, just about every tech stock is down >20% and Musk has helpfully made unfounded accusations of bots and spam and whatnot in a pointless attempt to delay the acquisition, meaning the banks now have to try and unload these loans in a recession. I think last I heard they are giving a 40% discount or just keeping them on their books, hoping for a recovery as Musk trashes the company value further with every week that passes.

It's not a "synthesizer" that makes sound but one for visuals. You'll make your own sounds somewhere else/somehow, pipe them into Hydra and have it react to your own music/sounds.

That's a privilege of skilled labour unfortunately. With unskilled, easily replaceable work force managers often simply aim to maximally exploit them, and if (when) they burn out they simply hire the next one.

The question is, how to bring their incentives in line with the world at large.

I like the idea of different oil producers competing on price after including all externalities. Lots of current oil exploration and drilling doesn't make economic sense if you remove all the subsidies anyway.

And in that world, Saudi Arabia would still be selling oil as the cheapest and cleanest source of it.
No but if there is no content moderation and Twitter becomes even more of an open cesspit than it already was, announcers are going to stay away because most of them do not want to be associated with toxicity. Perhaps politically active organizations will want to be there (e.g. the NRA or the ACLU), but nothing family-friendly (e.g. Disney) and most likely nothing Christmas-y during Christmas season.
Devil's advocate:

Contrary to explorer.exe, App Store is an internet service in the sense that it requires sending requests to backend for pretty much any user action. There is zero functionality without a data connection.
of course it means military support, you are trying to stop a government from collapsing, part of that is paying the bills (which include salaries). I don't understand why you are taking issue with that? - doesn't the US government (federal) "shutdown" when debt extensions can't be agreed upon?

And seriously, the gaming industry is infamous for its "year round crunch mode". It can be done. Many sectors are "hard work" (ie. public sector, fundamentally non-tech gigacorps with no real in-house IT competence, etc.)

Twitter was an innovator. I remember getting into Scala party because of some open source code library from them back then, I don't know, probably around Scala 2.8.

That was absolutely unnecessary for their core business. All of this can be done in bad C++, or plain old Java 7, or whatever, for low cost, built in Bangalore.

Now that would of course likely not withstand this kind of change storm that Elon caused. But that's a different story. (Also what Elon probably doesn't understand on a technical level (but likely guessed from a business aspect), is how flexible Twitter is. In this regard he hit arrived at the right time. Twitter is fundamentally the same as it was, now it's time to innovate with it, and the architecture he found is exactly the right one for that.)
This is incredible! I'll be sure to check this out when planning my next Japan trip
I think the greater point is that if the legal system is supposed to alter behavior, it should follow the science and the science suggests that simply punishing crimes based on a rulebook isn't very efficient at preventing future crimes.

It doesn't matter if the man is autistic for his behavior to have a negative impact. The impact would not have been any better or worse if he wasn't autistic.

The question thus should be how to prevent this kind of behavior, or in his case, how to make it less likely that he'll do it again. His autism may factor in to the answer for that, but either way throwing the book at him is likely not the best solution.

Of course this assumes the purpose of the legal system is crime prevention, not punishment as an end in itself, which seems to contradict reality.
