When I was a professional, 40 hours of programming were enough for me. When I went home, I wanted to do something else.

This is what I'm getting at. It's no longer play if it's mandated by the industry, on top of your full-time job. It puts people with a life outside of programming at a disadvantage.
People tend to think about monopolies in terms of single companies, but they're more commonly a systemic thing.

Housing: Most voters are homeowners, with the shared incentive to increase the price of housing in their town through restrictive policies. This ignores the interesting conversation about whether NIMBY actually increases property values, but most people believe they do. They don't even have to be explicit about it, nor get 100% cooperation, but the emergent property is clear and shockingly consistent across US

Healthcare: There are many systems at play here, as an example: The AMA restricts the number of doctors who can enter the profession: https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/4561/does-the-a...

Education: Prestige de-facto limits the number of 'desirable' schools in the marketplace, and the high-prestige schools haven't grown nearly as much as overall enrollment.

There's no single top hat wearing, cigar chomping fat cat. Or even a smoke filled back room. But a variety of cultural and regulatory norms keep the dynamics entrenched. Which isn't to say that they can't be changed! But it won't be just the subtle nudge of Adam Smith's invisible hand.
Hmph, I wish…
We're not living in a utopis. Drivers can do whatever they can get away with. If the other party has a dashcam, then they maybe boned if the police can be motivated to do their job for once without murdering someone.
Possibly! Alternatively a biased RW lock might work.
Rust macros are not the fault for its slowness. expansion is one of the fastest compilation phases. Time is rather spent in other steps like type checking, llvm optimizations and such. The issue is more Rust's generics as they cause a lot of code to be passed to llvm (among other issues for Rust's slowness).
After 5 minutes L1 reflection, my most idiomatic translation for « entre-aide » would be not a word but the phrase "one hand washes the other".
Your assumption is that the state will apply that money optimally (or at least more optimally than the super rich - also, notice you didn’t define what super rich are).

Looking at historical and present data, I can be absolutely sure that the state will mismanage that money in almost every country.

I’m Portuguese, my government is collecting more ~ 25% taxes than it collected 6 years ago when the current ruling party got into power. Almost everyone (left and right) agrees that public services and administration are much worst. So, it begs the question: why giving the government even more money, will solve anything?

Python vs Ruby seemed like a real fight for a while, especially when there was Rails and python did not really have anything equivalent.
Unchecked exceptions need extra care. I've seen process level exceptions being logged when the underlying cause was a failure to parse an integer. The exception was being caught in an exception handler half a dozen scopes away.

What if, while grappling with these complex issues, we institute a land tax as the obvious easy part? That is easy, hard to dodge and all but breaks inter-generational wealth transfers as a matter of practice. It is hard to get wealth from grandparent to grandchild in anything other than land; everything decays and you just need one idiot in the chain to lose everything with no chance to recover. The way the market intended.
LoL, you made my day. I want you to know XD
In many cases a solid needs-based JD exists and must be filled in a
perfunctory fashion.

But often companies don't really know what they want. Advertising a
job becomes a way of seeing what's out there, and whether anyone can
bring them some missing "magic".

If we think of work as being about relationships then successful ones
are slow, sometimes painful routes by which we find lasting
partnership. It may involve many on-and-off dates, exploration of
shared values and interests, introductions to family, and so on.

OTOH, the idea of a "job market" in which human beings are rapidly
traded as they "climb a career" is akin to a nightclub for picking up
casual sex. Many companies experience nothing but a series of one
night stands. Passionate embraces and big promises are followed by
tempestuous exits.

The cost of casualisation and rapid churn isn't really appreciated by
either party, or society at large. Workers, forever "dressing to
impress" never really develop deep skills that come from
stability. Companies spend a fortune on HR, perpetual transformation,
induction, on-boarding and reconfiguration around the latest
hire. Little real work gets done and eventually it becomes mutually
disrespectful, or even hostile.

This gig economy is harmful in unseen ways. Now we have companies
desperate for good people, but unable to recruit, and talented workers
unable to find a happy workplace, because both are "playing
hard-to-get" out of pride and restless, undirected ambition. Imho,
it's a situation rooted in immaturity and something Adam Phillips
touched on when he said "capitalism is for children".
Thanks for the suggestion! I tried it, but it doesn't support playing MMO games, which Crystal Saga is, so I'll keep on searching. Don't get me wrong, the developers do provide us with a client, but you can get better performance using other browsers, which is always better.
> In the real world, there is more than one sandwich seller and they compete with each other. When was the last time you non-consensually bought a sandwich?

But that competition isn't perfect. Right now, for example, there are very clear indications of price gouging with the excuse of inflation.

And it isn't even just with food. See the renting market for an example. People who had enough money to buy a house to rent it earn more money, and people who didn't spend more money because they need a house to live (and moving is a very high barrier for a lot of people).

But I think the most important example is jobs, mainly jobs with a low barrier of entry, which are mostly taken by poor people. People that don't have enough savings/time to get better education or to find for better jobs have to get whatever they can, so their employers have a lot of power to set low salaries: the employer can deal with an employee leaving or taking more time to fill a position, the employee probably needs a job quickly to pay the bills.
This may be due to how Netflix’s VMAF metric judges frame quality and prefers images with more edges, even when these are false edges caused by banding:

I guess it makes sense on the short term. Instead of application - you work for (as quoted) 6 weeks to prove yourself and you either get fired or not.

But on the long term? Senior-level employee makes an error? Bam - fired! With all the institutional knowledge gathered over the years, experience, etc. If it was a major screw-up - you'll be firing an employee who will not do that mistake again, but you will risk it with a new hire.
All of crypto is a fraud in a literal sense because it is self referential and a zero sum game. But the regulators are not willing to face that question so the companies keep going.

In that sense, the concept of a token created by you and traded largely by your firm being used as collateral for loans was incredibly fraudulent. The fact that the DoJ is acting only after the token fell and revealed that SBF used customer funds to rescue it, is either a strategy or an oversight. Same way they don’t want to touch Tether just yet even if it’s so obviously a fraud.
I think calling attention to WaPo being owned by the world's richest man ought to be in bounds, though. It's not really a hot take.
I agree and would replace my original statment of "It's very hard to write exception safe code in C++" with this.
As the CEO of a company then you are still subservient to the chairman, board, investors, CEO of the group etc. Its a difficult dynamic at the level when you start to carry civil and criminal liability too.
Dumbest comment I've read in a while here. Most Americans can't seem to "master" bike riding and so they all need to wear helmets. The Dutch don't and aren't the world capital of TBIs.
If you try to get ready-made talent from the outside you will face problems in the selection process and, as the article points out, there really is no good solution to those problems. ...so the alternative is to create your own talent and work hard to hold on to them.

If you need a senior developer, take someone internal who has proven themselves as a junior developer and make them into a senior developer.

If you need a junior developer, hire someone straight out of college and give them all the training and mentoring to make them productive.

If you need a manager, look within your ranks for an individual contributor who wants to step up to manager, and give them a chance.
I’ve done a lot of Django development but these days to build an ordinary web app I either use Starlette with asyncpg and plain SQL or nodejs with plain SQL.

As I recall, Varnish was also written for a newspaper. I think it's pretty common for older web technology.
That's a lazy excuse IMO. There's a lot you can do, like letting small developers have up to 100 achievements, with more requiring talking to partner relations.
Presumably this only affects top line revenue of each company.
it depends on the purpose of the group. when it comes to employment or services to the public then yes. i don't see how that is anti-equality.
This could make blasting the core easier because there is now room for the explosion to expand into (assuming portion of the tunnel liner is removable) and the shape of the tunnel can be optimized to be non circular.
Source Ports for Pangea Software Classic MacOS Games
I'm tired of installation instructions that consist of "curl | sh". Especially since this one just tries to detect the platform and downloads the correct installer for me. I know what platform I'm running, and I don't want to pipe the internet to my shell. In the end this is unpacking a tarball in ~/.rustup, I don't need the risk of running some bespoke script for that.
I find it funny how it is often compared to frameworks like Flask when it’s more like Wordpress for Python.
Because you said:

> debt costs will adjust accordingly and pass on to wealthy still

Let’s think about some the factors that may influence this imaginary debt cost:

- whether asset is an appreciating asset
- risk management strategy of the bank
- whether account manager wants to have competitive terms so that the wealthy customer won’t find a better deal
And so on.

How is this not a mystery cost? Sure the bank in some distant future might some tax when it decides to liquidate it. But by that time, the assets would have been in pools for such a long time that we’d never know exactly how much “tax” was paid.

I’m not going to say I know the solution to this problem because I honestly don’t think there is a way to fix this. Tax avoidance will always be there.
Nim 1.0 was released 2019. Python3 was released 2008, Go 1.0 2012, Typescript 1.0 2014, Rust 1.0 2015, Kotlin 1.0 2016.

It might be premature to judge Nim's popularity, respective timelines considered. At the same time language options are probably nicer in 2022 compared to 2010, so it will be harder to take off.
Rust is most comparable to C++ with heavy TMP, as it itself also makes use of templates.
> Something is wrong here, 500M for 45K people means ~850 euros per month per employee which is less than German minimum wage (1584 eur per month). Plain mistake.

Indeed. I don't know what our precious Interior Minister has been talking about, chances are he simply once again blasted bullshit towards the press and no one called him out as well... I dug a bit in the government's budget plan and updated the figures. Still, we spend ~1.2 billion (assuming 1:1 exchange rate) less than the US, with five million more citizens that are served by the cops - so there is still a marked difference.
Ha! Hoisted by my own petard! Can’t edit my post now, but thanks for adding the correction.
If the roll is 4, 6, 1, 2, then your “base options” are 10&3, 5&8, and 6&7.

If you already have three white chits on columns, then numbers which are not those three are removed. So for example if you have chits on 3, 6, and 7, your options will be 3 and 6&7. Similarly, if you have two white chits, combinations that would result in 4 columns having chits are removed, possibly by splitting a pair into two options.

If a column is captured, options are further limited.
Apt gives you the version of Rust that was packaged for your distro, so you're not keeping up with the latest releases. It's typically configured to reuse the system install of LLVM, missing some Rust-specific patches that are in the process of flowing upstream. And it references distro-packaged crates by default, meaning that again you're not getting the latest published versions.

> Microsoft is incentivized to provide the best user experience. Good.

I don't see how this follows. If they own the company, or using Azure is imposed by C-Suite, what incentive is there to improve their product at all?
The same way Dolby Vision has kind-of enforced better color consistency, I imagine grain could be done as well.

One could call it something like Dolby Vision Film Enhancements, that would just mandate decoder support. Those who don't support it get a fallback, like the usual.

Dumbest comment I've read in a while here. (high five, it works both ways).

The Dutch have a bicycle culture and bicycle friendly streets where cars are outnumbered and don't despise cyclists in the manner of Sydney, Australia or Mean City, USA.

The Dutch also live in a flat country and don't extreme cycle down the side of Big Sur, etc either.
…perhaps you lack experience of a time where fixing bugs that cannot be effectively discovered using tools available in other languages took less time than the equivalent code in Rust would take to compile?
For independent financial auditor - none that I can think of.

For offshore restrictions - you as a country lose all existing assets already there. A lot of people will move their business to a better countries, providing less restrictions and eventually taxes for them. Probably election loss and further dismantling of all these laws by disgrunted businessmen using their pocket political forces. If will hugely depend on the collective size of economies doing the ban.

For housing - its tourists plus rent seekers vs. regular citizens. You hurt one group and you benefit another and vice versa. There is no win win scenario here, balance must be found. I personally vote for regular citizens, even if tourism industry will be hurt a little bit.

For inheritance taxes - no downsides.

For token ban - no downsides.
We could do more FPS too, but the issue is that these defy the audiences' expectations, so suspension of disbelief is impacted, so the story suffers because of that. In fact, producers kind of have to do a lot of things, purely for the fact that audiences now expect it on screen. TVTropes has a great article about this issue in general, not just regarding to film grain and frames per second:

Ask HN: Made it to the HN frontpage?, what was the impact it had?
Recently I had my second HN frontpage with all the perks attached: the huge spike on visits, the exposure on other media, and the peer comments & suggestions.

But since, in both posts I was not selling anything I can't really quantify or put a number on how much impact a HN frontpage could have in other aspects apart from the exposure.

Exactly this. How can such arrangement exist in the USA is strange for me.
In classification models, there is a concept of precision (% of correct positives) and recall (how many positives are captured from the population).
The author correctly points out that recall is very low in a typical recruitment process.

As much as I agree with the sentiment, employer incentives are not to find ALL suitable candidates but to find just ONE suitable candidate. Everything beyond that is a waste of resources.
For some positions (e.g. finding a co-founder or an artist with a unique style) - yes, low recall might be a limiting factor. It is just a market for most other roles - in particular, all that can be summarized with a job title.
Everyone essentially doesn't know. We are but extrapolating something we don't understand to either future failure or success depending on a gut feeling. Some like you are saying to expect the unexpected while others are saying to expect this to stall out. I've even heard the openAI CEO couch his predictions behind 'assuming we don't stall out'. In this article and elsewhere it's been pointed out that how core abilities of the large language models are not well understood. Without this understanding everyone is just guessing at the future.
Well the obvious ones:

Some people have legitiment business interests in tax-haven type countries that are not about avoiding taxes. No country is just purely a tax haven with no other ecconomic activity after all.

In theory a blanket ban on crypto could harm innovation. This was much easier to believe at the beggining of the hype cycle when it seemed like someone might actually do something useful with blockchain tech. Kind of hard to believe at this stage.

I feel like inheritence tax is kind of pointless by itself. Most people dont just suddenly die and have time to distribute their assets pre-death.

Limiting housing investment might make cost of living go up. Its not like houses just appear out of nowhere. lots of people cant afford to just buy/build a house. Rich people buying houses and renting them out helps fill that gap. It doesn't always work out as ideally at that, but the other extreme of severely restricting real estate ownership would probably screw over poor people too who do not have sufficient resources to get a mortgage. They still need somewhere to live.

I dont really know what independent auditors means precisely. IRS/CRA/etc are already pretty independent. They could be better funded though.
In Europe you usually have a 1-3 month probationary period that works more or less like "at-will" employment does in the USA. Either party can cancel the contract on the spot for any reason or no reason at all. There are also some limits on how much time off you can take at once and in total in that time.
To be honest I think this is strawman argument. I think it is absolutely true that the government will mismanage some of that money. The question is whether that money used with not 100% efficiency is better than a billionaire who may spend that money on anything. I certainly agree there are rich people who donate their money effectively but even then they decide what to spend the money on. So in my opinion some government mismanagement is not the reason to have some redistribution, but rather a reason to ensure that governments are properly accountable etc. And even if that is a government spending it can be still tendered to private companies depending on what's being done.
Completely agree. Observability and debugging are some areas where the ecosystem is quite immature or inexistent. My take is that wasm is more or less where the web was in 97-98 Lots of excitement and possibilities but also lots of technical challenges and experimentation
Things get even worse where the application process is completely unaccountable to the future success of the applicant. When you hire someone for a job, you get some feedback on how that person does at said job. In Medicine for example, this is not the case. Whether the person you admit to your university or residency program ends up being fantastic or a psychopathic murder is not even considered.
>James, which somehow becomes Яков (Iakov?!)

> If this was true about wealth creation, intergenerational wealth would eventually outcompete everything else, while it looks like the opposite is true.

Not outcompete, but intergenerational wealth does play a huge part in class mobility [1].

> The what they invest it in, is the whole point. If you spend your life and wealth playing 20% of your bankroll with zero expected value - you should completely expect not to be wealthy, and if you do become wealthy it will be completely by chance, against the odds.

The amount of money you have is a very important factor in your options. The more money you have, the more options you have to invest with more expected value. For example, what options does a family that manages to save $500 a year to invest that money in something that brings them a lot of expected value?

It absolutely is an indictment of the applicants as well. These questions get asked for a good reason.

One problem I see is that these types of interviews, which are essentially basic aptitude tests, might be regarded by the interviewers as far more than they really are. The idea of "preparing" for a coding interview is absurd. If the applicant feels it is neccesarry to prepare he either is completely unqualified or the testing method is bad.

I am quite certain that in a 15 minute talk I could easily figure out if some applicant has the technical knowledge for a position similar to mine. And that seems to me what Interviews should be about.
I’m not sure this is true anymore. The median American will never be able to afford their own home at current housing prices. Sure, we have a higher gdp per capita, but it doesn’t buy us the things we actually need like housing, health care, etc.

Perhaps what’s needed is to bring back family homesteads, but that doesn’t feel like much progress.
