luck cannot lead to formal research policies; one cannot

I'll give you 1* and 2. I have serious doubts about 3 (recently) considering he's the CEO of many companies, is constantly flying to non work related locations and tweet all the fucking time. Even if he is working extremely hard the output for any of the companies must be small, which given his track record on twitter might be the biggest benefit to his CEO career of all times.

The key is #4, I think he managed to have incredible challenges at his other companies that brought it people who knows not only how to perform the job very well but to manage him very well.

*I still have doubts about how much of his smarts is being smart or just sounding smart, he is certainly not dumb by any stretch.
There is definitely some weird pseudo religion around things which are old. Anyone who says "cavemen ate like this, that means it's good for you" don't know what they're talking about. That's not the case here.

Let me rewrite this as a modern invention: Someone invented a wind powered cooling system. No other fuel is necessary and it will work for years with minimal maintenance. The mechanism is simple enough that they can be built both in large metropolitan areas and smaller, struggling regions.
That depends on what your contract says, I definitely get paid for x hours of work.

Not to defend this government really, but the graphs tells us iran was in war and was sanctioned. The graphs still tell us it is sanctioned.

The economic progress in gdp measures or revolution capacity measures? The shah himself thought it was the US who caused his situation.

Atrocities of safavids were after iran was completely destroyed by mongols and timur. Safavid were not the most peaceful, but compared to their predecessors, they were very good. For example they did not cement men alive. Instead built mosques and reunified the land.

Ajam and arab is valid. But sassanid empire was a caste society. So which caste were the arabs? I actually don’t know. Sassanid in its last 20 years have extensive war campaigns, regicide and mutinies.

Mongols turning persian into main language seems like an anti-arab measure. But I am not sure.
It would have happened sooner if vaccine acceptance were higher among the older and/or lower among the younger. The same thing happens every flu season: Older people get vaccinated but some still die, while the 20-year-olds don't die from a flu no matter what.
I'm sure there are plenty of projects created in JavaScript. I'm not sure there are plenty of projects created in JavaScript in what I think we can all generally agree is leading-edge to mainline tech.

There will always be laggards and there will always be novices, but it is so incredibly rare to see a library without typings or a senior developer not start with TypeScript almost without thinking that I think it is at worst only a matter of time.

As an aside, why are all of your posts written so combatively? I looked at your most recent page of comments and if I'd not already responded to you, I wouldn't have. I certainly don't shy away from being pointy, but not about things as ultimately meaningless as programming languages.
Geez, people in the olden days took a long time to say simple things like "put your money where your mouth is"
I didn't know that my heart pain was related to the vaccine until I noticed the same pain during the third shot.

The Moderna CEO is at least honest enough to say by now it should be treated the same as a flu vaccine. If you want to you can get your yearly dose and if you don't up to you. Pfizer on the other hand was actively whining about how they created too many doses and how they can't milk it any more.

If it was up to me I wouldn't have gotten the third one, but the fact that they've intermingled it with travel restrictions when it does not in fact prevent spread is quite infuriating.

It seems that people have also forgotten that the antibodies compared to other vaccines(which can be in decades for hepatitis for example) fade rather quickly and that if you got infected quite far out from your last shot, and were only mildly symptomatic it might not actually have been the vaccine that protected you but rather your own immune system and the fact that the whole thing isn't as deadly anymore.
I really understand your perspective, in the US companies are quite close to feifdoms with only minimal oversight and with the only real added benefit over being a serf that you can traverse to some other fiefdom that treats you the same or marginally better.

It strikes me though, that this comment is very US-centric. In parts of Europe (I'm talking about Sweden specifically here): employee protections are very strong.

> All employment contracts are one sided. They have more power. They stick some unfair contract on you and underpay you.

I can't give examples off the top of my head, but it is widely accepted that if an employment contract omits a certain topic: then whatever that topic is will fall on the side of the employee in a court of law, it is absurdly hard to fire people.

All these things have pros and cons, but it does mean effectively that once you're employed then you have a social safety net that even banks recognise and provides a lot of psychological safety too.

I'm just saying: your perspective feels contra to my experience so it's at least not universal.
Many of these people make a ton of money. They could retire or take a break for a decade after working 2-3 years like this. And some people are wired differently. Coming from academia where 12 hour, 6 day weeks were my life for a decade, the tech job (which was categorized back then in glassdoor as a bit demanding) was a joke. It took me months to accept that saturdays were truly free days where I didn’t have to do anything.

If I were in a company that cared less, I totally would have considered this option. But thankfully I landed in a place that let me grow at whatever pace I wanted and I focused on my main job fully and reaped it’s benefits.
I'm thinking photoshop, but seriously if there is a legit source it would be interesting to know more details about it, and why seemingly no one else is using it.

If you know anything of the religious extremists destroying our cities you know there are enough that they will take something like this, try and integrate it into a design, get some engineer from the same denomination to approve it and put it in a building to grease the moral self applauds of the planning committee desperate to please the gods.

There is a building in my city, fully built, which decided to put 3 wind turbines at the top of it. If you are familiar at all with wind turbines you know they create a lot of vibration and noise. They shouldn't be built in high density areas. Of course this meant those living in the building within 15 floors near the turbines experienced constant noise, and vibration. They are now permanently disabled.

It was allowed to be built where no tall building existed mainly because of these talismans.

This seems disingenuous on most grounds. Are you serious? To me it tends to anti iranian than pro.

Pre-islam persian language continued in iran until 10th century at least, and it evolved into modern persian. Abbasid revolution was pro-iranian. Persians writing their work in arabic is no different than everyone writing in english today. Communicating in english is not bad, Is it? benefits obvious. English to a persian today, is what arabic was 1000 years ago. Both are taught in school.

Iran is not itself related to muslim expansion in india. Iran itself had been conquered by saljuks, and so was baghdad and a byzantine emperor (Check saljuk empire. read the account of their take over of middle east, you might get some perspective). India was conquered by Mahmud ghazni who is not persian and he also takes over some iranian cities.

Timur sack of delhi is decidedly not iranian, iran was revolting against timur itself. Mughal dynasty of india was supported initially by iran, via safavids, and it was probably an improvement over what was in delhi before which I think Timur had left. Taj mahal isn’t too bad. Some people of lower caste in india probably converted to islam, probably because it freed them. But I’m not familiar with india enough to know the extent.

Muslims did restrict zoroastrians and manichaeism. Zoroastrian was also state sanctioned. Extent of their religious prosecution seems less generally (although check Mani, and Mazdak), but muslims also legally accept christianity and judaism.

Is it unprofitable or just not profitable enough for the capitalists who could get more return elsewhere?

The cause in the increase is possibly an increase in poverty, or increase in wealth disparity?
A lot of outrage, discussion, mentions of "fraud." Another possible explanation, this is fiction, creative writing essentially.
Hard disagree. Friendly programming languages such as Python and Ruby on Rails are good for small applications but when applications grow, so does their footprint.

You can get equivalent performance through more work, more caching layers, more servers and more hardware resources, but there's a real limit to how much one server can handle before it starts slowing down.

The simple fact is that a a Bash web server will never be as fast as a bespoke x64 assembly HTTP server. There's a huge gradient between the two and I'm not suggesting we need to build a Mastodon backend in C, but this "it's a web server so who cares about performance" approach to programming languages needs to go.

Take a look at the techempower listing if you don't believe me. Ignore the weird, bespoke, benchmark oriented servers and focus on real world applications if you wish to make the gap smaller but even among big frameworks you'll find the differences. JSON serialisation is one example every web API needs to deal with, and ASP.NET stands head and shoulders above Ruby on Rails performance, for example.

In practice, there's probably no real performance difference between the JVM, dotnet, and Rust frameworks because of I/O limitations. However, Ruby on Rails lives in a whole different performance segment, next to PHP and Python.

The other thing that's interesting from their state graph is that it disagrees with the "people fleeing anarchist California to orderly Texas to escape rampant crime" meme.

Not only does Texas have higher rates of larceny theft[1], it is the biggest outlier on the graph in terms of lack of prosecution for it - no other state is further below the trend line.

Users here love to go on about how work should be evaluated by output rather than time spent, but I suspect they actually don't want their managers hounding them for an explanation on why stuff took longer than estimated.

Right now you usually get the benefit of the doubt that you tried your best and if it took longer it's because it was harder than expected or there was extra stuff you had to get done. I don't want a system where it's assumed you are working 3 jobs and if it took too long you didn't output enough.
> It's mind boggling that folks are defending the ability to sell stolen goods, while wanting to harshly punish petty theft.

I’m not seeing anyone defending selling stolen goods just saying it’s nearly impossible to tell where the goods come from.

Product gets refused for various reasons and the trucking companies aren’t really in the business of selling goods so they just get rid of it. I’ve seen them refuse a whole pallet because one box was run into by a forklift before.

Sometimes they tell you where to take it, sometimes they tell you to just get rid of it (usually only if it’s a couple cases) and if it’s not something you particularly want you just find some random person who does want it or a dumpster.

Not to mention all the other cases people have explained in this thread.
Well, yes, like for code comments, the most important parts are the whys.

You're also forgetting that in some situations the source code itself might be unreadable to the person : either because it's just not available (including the comments), or because the reader doesn't know the programming languages (with assembly programming being a bit of both).
Even if they fired everyone but 1 person they still would not make a dent in those payments.
Thanks, I should have read that.

> He said that he would spend the bulk of the talk on moving away from TCP, but that there is also a need for a lighter-weight remote-procedure-call (RPC) framework. Beyond that, he believes that it no longer makes sense to implement transport protocols in software, so those will need to eventually move into the network interface cards (NICs), which will require major changes to NIC architectures as well.

So basically hardware-accelerated RPCs. I can get behind that in theory, but encoding RPC semantics in hardware sounds like a recipe for extremely slow evolution and very limited hardware choice.
That would imply that's an email, when in fact it's just a fedi account.
It's there for a reason, another one (besides accessibility) is to make it easier parsing for other instances.
this is not beginner code, lisp or otherwise. you are looking at macros. macros are a very powerful programming feature, and no other programming language excells at writing macros to lisp level. moreover writing macros might not be very elegant compared to other code. however writing macros in lisp certainly is much more elegant compared to what you need to do to achieve the same result in other languages. the point of writing macros is to make calling them elegant
Isn't wanting to retire comfortably some day in the future a pretty valid reason?
It's this just mining HN hive mind for "insider" information?
You could write a million words trying to justify this.

However, if you are selling the same hour of effort to two or more people then you are lying to, stealing from and defrauding them. That is totally black and white.

People are entitled to respond to the unfair state of the world in many ways, but it doesn’t justify theft.

As an aside, I am amazed at how sites like HN can virtue signal with the best of them, then conduct mental gymnastics to claim that double billing isn’t fraudulent. Cmon guys surely anyone can see this isn’t right?
I’m actually curious now if we look for these over employment seekers. Clearly they’re smart, and if we make an open contract, then both parties can extract maximal benefit from each other. Tech companies have a hard time ensuring engineers put their time, but with these folks perhaps they would be happy to time their work given the special situation they have.

Portugal decriminalised drugs in 2000 and this is regarded as a better solution. Drug use is treated as a health issue rather than a crime issue, and the results are better.

Even if your contract doesn't mention hours, I'm pretty sure that somewhere in there there's a clause that forbids you from taking on a second full time job (or even a part time job without getting approval from your employer).
I spent all the June September period at 30+ Celsius degrees day and 20+ night and no air-conditioner despite having two of them. I used standing fans. The disadvantages are that you must be in their wind tunnel whilst an air conditioner covers the whole room. The advantage is that they cost less and can be carried around the house. Rooms facing North with no sun hitting them also helps. South facing rooms would have required air conditioning.
Ukraine certainly played its part in extending the hostilities that resulted in 14,000 murdered Russian-speaking citizens in its border regions prior to Feb 23.

If you are unaware of this, and just swallowing the agitprop designed to sell more weapons into the region, then I'm sure you have nothing more productive to add to the conversation.
You didn't explicitly have a clause saying something like "40 hour work week, Monday to Friday 8 AM to 5 PM"? Pretty standard where I live (Sweden), making this type of shenanigans virtually impossible (at least I haven't heard of this being a thing). I mean, it may not say "you have WORK these 8 hours a day", but they expect you to be available for this job exclusively.
Do you think the companies these people work for are aware they work 3 jobs?
But that's because they deliberately chose not to know it. A responsible business would have processes in place to identify all of that information.
This whole "movement" is really strange to me, because, as always, this depends on where you live.

Where I live, this is entirely illegal. So, to me, it always is just a different word for fraud.

Then again, we have actual employment contracts where a whole lot of legalese will say what restrictions each party of the contract (employer and employee) has.
I am under the impression that employment contracts arent really a thing in the USA.

just to add, is not that the person is stealing money. The person is working for it, the bare minimum, but the employer still happy to pay that salary or else they would have the person fired.

now imagine being paid the same for busting your ass 14 hours a day, and someone doing the bare minimum being paid the same? People should stop overworking. People's salary represents the minimum amount of money that their boss is willing to pay for the work, so to the minimum amount of work required.

Questions like "what are your expectations?", usually can be read as "how low can you go?".

You put a very nice argument there.
I don't really know what has happened lately, but 20-25 years ago as a Sun vendor I was involved in or had knowledge of at least 10 large ERP projects, and in all of them SAP won. I don't have the details, but I got the feeling that all those customers discarded Oracle because it barely scored 2 or 3 points in the evaluation matrix. All of those SAP projects were a success. All of them.

Your deployment of the "ma' Russia" narrative belies a glib understanding of the issues in the region.

The USA kill innocent people every twenty minutes, and is the #1 funder of terrorism and calamity across the globe. This is only possible because of ignorant bootlickers choosing to cowardly ignore the crimes and engage in distraction.

What sort of pedantic geek with a grudge do you have to be to think you're making some sort of point by stating the absolutely irrelevant fact that 20 years ago there was a crappy abandoned PHP project that was initially used by an ambitious teenager as a starting point to create the world's most successful publishing platform and one of the top open source projects of all time?

Seriously, what do you think your point is? That the past 20 years of WordPress success is somehow the result of some nefarious teen fraud back in 2003? That Matt shouldn't get credit for creating WordPress because he started with a few hundred lines of PHP from an - again abandoned - open source project?

The bitterness and stupidity on the Internet will never cease to amaze me.
