The one thing I never understood about in tech, people talk about so much about TC but never about take-home pay (after taxes, housing cost, lifestyle cost etc).

I have friends who work very boring jobs in the gov't or non-profits (who make 90K but have a 10% 403b matching or pension; a 750K house; and a 1 million liquid investment account of CAGR of 20%), drive beater cars but through shrewd investments and frugality are multi-millionaires. I also have friends who flex in fancy cars, fancy luxury downtown condos and fancy jobs (who make 200K+ but never contribute to 401K, no house b/c lives in HCoL and only a ~150K in savings b/c travels, eat out etc.) but spend it all and when I talk to them in confidence, am shocked they have a fraction of what I think they are worth net-worth in the bank.

I used to think these stories were some kind of Suzy Orman/Dave Ramsey made-up morality tales or exceptional one-off stories - but older I get, I realize they are not. It's just most people start off the same - and it's only after years, people's money habits dramatically compound over the years that these differences become exponentially large and comical.

Ah that's a good idea. Just weight it down with more moon rocks.
Someone else already pointed out this is LWIR, not Mid wave(I look forward to the day we get cheap MWIR cameras! We'll be able to see heat trails behind jets- and gasses like no tomorrow- you tend to see through 95% of the with LWIR)

But large apertures? Are you thinking of the longer wavelength? For near infrared, this is a thing- and other night optics....and things like NVGs which use Near infrared

But, this isn't ...a thing for MWIR/LWIR, and not necessarily for SWIR either

The reason not ALL thermals have to be cryogenically cooled- is microbolometers - that's the key.

- I own a bunch of uncooled LWIR cameras, that i use- and NVGs as well
Isn’t this what OAuth and OIDC supposed to handle?

Thank you for not wrapping this up in docker image. Unless there’s a specific purpose for it, those kind of actions are annoying to use.

> Vitalik is a clearly a smart guy but I don't get this "All solvable problems" mindset of him and others.

It comes from a techno-optimist perspective that attempts should still be made to see if it could be solved in the first place. The binary alternative is a nihilistic "don't ever try" mindset, wherein the Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, & Joseph Fourier shouldn't ever try to solve existing problems, and that they should just toil in misery like the rest of us.

There definitely exists gradients in between the two, but it's worrying that HN, a supposed place of hackers/experimentalists, is adopting a more "this'll never work" stance over time. The Dropbox negativity was the popular start of this downtrend, & I fear it's getting worse.

Lets face it. The "pretty girl profile" strategy works on a wide enough fraction of men that with probability close to 1 you can establish a legit connection to at least a few legit people at the company. Once you get that far, you can start getting recommendations for other people you "might know" and have enough of an "in" to get a glimpse at the entire org chart of the place. From there your a short jump away from being added to internal slack channels and whatever.

Not that I've ever done this. I always respect and obey the computer fraud and abuse act of 1986 vis a vis the section on unauthorized access to a computer system.

Recruitment but also retention. Some engineers want to publicly communicate their work at a recognizable company, or aspire to become the kind of company good enough to have a well-liked engineering blog. Providing that opportunity doesn’t cost much and means a lot.

I don’t find anything admirable about RMS. He is caustic to people in mailing lists, defended a colleague accused of participating in sex trafficking by stating that the victim must have presented as “entirely willing”, has referred to child sexual abuse as “voluntary pedophilia”, and has a long, long history of accusations of sexual harassment against him.

All of which makes arguments about his superior morality pretty dubious to me.

I well remember the epiphany I felt while learning Logo in elementary school, at the moment I understood what recursion is.

While I have never worked as a professional software developer, computers have been a hobby all my life. I don't think the fact that the language I have mostly written code in in recent years is Emacs Lisp is unrelated to the above moment.
Is running a separate instance of the monolith with a separate database for every store really "a monolith" withstanding 1.27M rps?

It's a bit like saying Magento served 1M rps on Black Friday leaving out the small but important detail that each individual store has separate infrastructure and manageable load.

Divide and conquer works, congrats to the Shopify team that their design decisions worked out for their use case. And obviously some parts of the system are still shared but my guess is that they are not part of the monolith.

Panic attacks are all in your head too. You’ve obviously never had one or seen someone go through one.

Your brain is an organ just like other organs. If it starts malfunctioning it can cause serious even life threatening problems.
This doesn't yet explain why, given the time symmetry of the laws of physics, entropy would in general change in the forward direction differently than in the backward direction.

If you consider a box of gas that just recently was in the improbable state where all gas molecules were concentrated in one corner of the box, and the current situation is such that you can trace back from the current trajectory of the molecules the prior improbable state with high confidence, then yes, entropy is obviously increasing. On the scale of the universe, this can be taken as an analogy to the low-entropy state right after the big bang and the current higher-entropy state.

However, I don't see how this explains an arrow of time in terms of breaking eggs and the human brain's perception of time.
> There is really only one reason house prices go up and that's lack of supply.

Material costs are up. Land prices are up. Labour cost is up. Building code standards are way up. Building permit prices are up. Houses are 2x-3x bigger than they used to be.

Lack of supply? 15 million houses sit empty. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/EVACANTUSQ176N

There is more than one reason houses cost more.
Define lim without infinite sets. Define how you quantify over all values of n without infinite sets. The parameterization you describe would be a function mapping an infinite set of sets of natural numbers to their maximum elements, that function itself being (or containing) an infinite set of ordered pairs.

You might be able to pull it off without creating something equivalent to the axiom of infinity — I wouldn’t know if it’s possible. But the naïve implementation of your ideas involves the construction of infinite sets.

I think you can do this rigorously outside the theory, talking about it, but not inside.

After messing around with the tutorial project I think that this is a great tool that has a lot of potential.

As developers are very particular and tend to customize their IDEs with a lot of extensions, I don't think this will replace the tools we have.

But I do think that we should be able to customize a lot more

The code editor especially should be able to receive most of the common settings such as font, theme, ...

I would also like to see some support for common utilities such as prettier and eslint. This will not replace the primary IDE but when I need to use it I expect it to do a proper job.

You don't have to deal with the latter if you reprocess the "waste". Which, well before 10,000 years, you're going to do anyway, because on that time scale there will be significant economic value in retrieving usable fuel from it. The only reason reprocessing is not done now in the US is politics; other countries have been doing it for decades with no problems. And as it gets more expensive to mine more fuel, reprocessing becomes more and more of an economic advantage.
Not to detract from OP's tool, but Pandoc is an excellent and underused tool for this use case.

> Humans like kids naturally especially their own.

I personally do not like children. I know a lot of unnatural humans then; a lot of humans who neither like kids nor ever want kids of their own. And there's many (!!!) anecdotes of people who had children they do not like or want.

And that's on top of the responsible adults who realize that they can't afford to give a child a healthy loving home when they can't even afford to properly take care of themselves.

I'm coining a new term: "gas-ware" New technology appearing in advanced electric vehicles. Much like 'gaslighting', a clever huckster keeps saying, its 'coming soon', and 'its has ___-capacity'. A common strategy for a 'gasware' creator, is he keeps moving the goal-posts. A necessary pre-requisite: high charisma and notoriety.
> Choice A will likely get some answers from students who didn't respond the first time, increasing the representativeness of your sample.

Possibly. But it also introduces a potential confounder.

> It's only futile if you conflate as "non-responders" the people who didn't respond on the first opportunity with the smaller number who wouldn't respond even given a second opportunity.

No, the non-responders are the ones who never respond, period. Which, as I said, means you can't sample them to see what they're like.

What you're doing, instead, is creating two different subsamples of responders: those who responded on the first try, and those who responded on the second try. Which might make things worse, since now you have an additional variable that you created by sending a second email to those who didn't respond the first time.
My point is that if 1400 of those animals are rats, using the stat "1500 killed" upfront is a bit misleading to laypeople in my non-professional opinion. The article doesn't say, but from other articles it appears that no monkeys were killed.

There seems to be a lot of goalpost moving in this thread.

> X animals were killed!

>> Yes but most of those weren't animals the vast majority of people consider particularly intelligent / morally questionable to kill for medical research purposes

>>> But they tortured monkeys!
Yes, pretty much. The advantage to something like OIDC is that it requires virtually no trust except the trust already established: you trust GitHub to host your code and NPM (or whoever) to publish it; OIDC allows GitHub to share a machine identity that NPM can verify and grant publishing rights to (e.g. via a temporary API token).

The downside to that approach is that it requires the consuming side (NPM in this case) to understand and verify OIDC tokens (which are really just JWTs). But we're currently working on exactly that on PyPI, and hopefully other package ecosystems will follow our progress there.

Most seniors are already replaceable by a bunch of juniors and a friendly scripting language, an internet search engine and now maybe with the help of copilot and chatgpt as well. Thinking you're not replaceable because you are because you know what happens when someone enters an URL and other trivia is going to turn out to be arrogance. The juniors are less replaceable for the simple fact that they are a. Cheap and b. Who else are the higher ups going to manage.
I wouldn't call myself neurodivergent, yet I don't support relying on common sense either. That being said, you can't make me believe that a student (neurodivergent or otherwise) would assume that they are expected to mine coal as part of their homework.

If a neurodivergent person uses a photocopier because they thought that it would be fine, then yeah, I'd understand that. The person who started this thread stated that they were perfectly aware that they were cheating, though.
For non life or death things, it's still kind of, idk, what's a good economic word to describe "something you basically have to / will inevitably buy?"

Your arm is broken and was put in a splint. To get the splint removed properly you gotta go back to the hospital for them to saw it off (and xray to determine it's a good time to saw the thing off). You're gonna... shop around and compare prices for this routine? I mean, you HAVE to get the splint off or your arm will rot off, plus, your quality of life is reduced with it on. "The Market" is armed with the knowledge that you've gotta get the thing off. Even with a couple hospital "options," the hospitals and insurance companies can collude (implicitly or otherwise) to charge basically whatever they want for the operation. The question isn't, what's a fair price, the question is, how much of this person's income can we extract before they'll risk cutting the thing off themselves.

It seems irrational to try to justify this environment when considering the needs of the citizenry. All signs point to methods of organizing healthcare that take as much power as possible from "the market" (which just means whoever can form oligopoly), be that by having a single payer system or by simply nationalizing healthcare.
Because that's how you know they're new. This is how fads work.

It was a whole game from scratch in the programming language of my choice. They only specified the rules. It was keyboard and console only, btw, no graphics or controllers or sound. I took the whole hour and was mostly done when I ran out of time. I forgot to write the score keeping before the interviewer came back. The AI player was “extra credit” and I finished that, so it helped excuse my scoring oversight.

It wasn’t that much or that bad, really. The setup was pretty simple, and quite doable for junior devs IMO (though full disclosure I had just left a position as a lead game programmer, so for me specifically it would have looked a little bad if I didn’t smash this particular interview question). It also helped that the problem was open-ended with extra credit features. I learned later when giving the interview myself that most people never finished the basic game, the majority never tried to write an AI player, and the interviewers were quite forgiving with their ranking & scoring - it was adaptive to the candidates. The coding part of the interview was just trying to be a bit fun and not just be pure dumb LeetCode problems. IMO it worked, I totally enjoyed the interview. The rest of the 4 hour interview included some whiteboard questions (on DB schemas, which I flubbed pretty hard) and also a lot of just talking about experiences and goals.
