Strong disagree. You can still tip at restaurants where the service is already added to the bill automatically (so you go in knowing the meal will cost 20% more than what the listed prices are, just like you know that when something says $199 it's actually $210 once you add sales tax). You can always also tip in appreciation for the service (so high performers can get more) but you're not feeling like you're forced to tip just to bring workers' wages up to the minimum level.
Has anybody actually detected and prevented some kind of hack by using a canary?

I don't doubt they can be useful but I suspect they aren't really used that much
Living in Thailand where cash is primary and often the only form of payment, it took no time to adjust to it and now that piece of mind of not having every purchase tracked is great. Yesterday I bought a monitor at the mall and they gave me a pretty nice discount and free shipping because I didn't go credit/debit. You see card usage requiring $50 minimums or buyer pays the network fee too. Herein lies a pretty big societal difference where the network fee isn't built-in and cash payers aren’t subsidizing or implicitly paying those fees for card users.
Just ordered Smart Negotiating on the strength of your recommendation!
More childhood independence, literally doing anything at all about the impending environmental catastrophe previous generations created and then birthed them into... Definitely one of those things.
Did NDS ever have the equivalent of Windows 2000 Group Policy? And when, if so? Any discussion of dominance of Windows Sever that doesn't mention GPOs is missing the layer that finished off anything competing. Very that's in GP on server 2022 wasn't in Win2k, outside of controlling features as they were added.
I want food. I don’t want to find the intercept between curves. I don’t want to see how busy or not your workers are. I just want my food. If I don’t get my food, I’m blaming you. I stopped using Seamless and, after GrubHub bought them, Caviar, because of this B.S.
Was the development team hugely influenced by The Mythical Method Man Month?
That’s one experience but it varies between schools.
> Instead of the workers being paid properly by the company the customer gets guilt tripped to tip and when you don’t tip the worker is angry at the customer, not the company

Absolutely. Prices should be raised to cover reasonable salaries (making up the gap covered by tips nowadays), and then if you were really happy with the service and want to tip more, you can.
点 means 'point', or 'spot', 'speck', 'tiny thing' etc... The "o'clock" meaning is a derivative, colloquial use of the word 'point'. So here it simply means 3-point, eg "3-point system".
The tipping the way it's done in America only exists in America, in the rest of the world it's not like that and consumers and staff are ok with that. Also your idea that tip creates a micro free market where highly effective staff makes a lot of money and poor performers are penalized is politically motivated, someone had to tell you this.
I got stuck in this, and saw a new low while waiting in DCA with respect to QR code based menus.

All the service bars in the first terminal have ipad style devices in front of the seats displaying a QR code. The expectation is that you scan the QR code off the ipad, and order using your phone/etc! Then pay with the ipad, which actually pissed me off more than sitting in the terminal for 8 hours while my flight was delayed in 10 min chunks. Initially I was unaware what was going on, and just sauntered up to a free spot on the bar, and tried to order a drink. Bartender explains that I have to use one of the ipads, which I shrugged and was like, ok, but then largely stared blankly at because it had a couple buttons (pay, order water, play games, etc) none of which were "order food/drinks/etc". Gave up when told that the bartender couldn't just serve me, and that the ipad thinngy couldn't take my order. WTF, kind of crazy nonsense is it to populate POS style terminals at every table, then fail to be able to order from them? Not only that apparently every single restaurant/etc is owned/using the same crap system so there isn't a choice to just go to the bar without.

Anyway, I got lucky because the SW captain grabbed a crew that still had hours and were suppose to be spending the night at my destination and told them they were working his plane...

Which itself was crazy, I'm pretty shocked that SW still doesn't have an automated system that "heals" the route network/etc when something like this goes wrong, and then sends updates to the flight crews/etc in question. You would think that after 2016 (when the exact same thing happened) they would have hired a couple "hackers" to just make it work...
I've worked with products like that on the backend, and they're all perfectly capable of receiving data from your website so that the live chat staffer has all your info automatically show up. Someone was lazy and just didn't do the work to hook it up right.
> There have been restaurants have tried non-tipping models, consumers and staff both hate it. First the highly productive staff often make less under that model (where poor performers make more)

Similar to the argument against unions.
Open Office losing popularity and having a shortage of developers makes some sense to me given all the progress in web-based document editors.

Something I have a harder time understanding is how it came to be that Apache Thrift and Facebook Thrift both exist as competing implementations of the same software originated by the same company.
Practically speaking, "farther ahead" may mean different things to different people. I tried to find a list of boards, systems on a chip (SoCs), or CPUs that Genode supports. There's no master list [1] but you can go digging through the handful of architecture-specific github repos. [2] The number of actually supported SoCs and boards is very limited.

NuttX and Zephyr both support a large number of SoCs and boards [3][4], and they each have a single git repo with a configuration system that lets you build different boards from that single repo. In terms of practical ease of use for hobby and commercial projects, I would say these projects are both far ahead of Genode if your hardware is not supported by Genode and is supported by either NuttX or Zephyr.

> How would you go about finding out how to access the manager of some department within MegaCorp?

You don’t. You write a generic letter and copy their regulators. If you’re nice, you give them a heads up over e-mail with the threat super explicit.
> And they're also all in therapy too and super in touch with their feelings and emotions which is supposed to help, but is actually likely to be a large part of the problem.

Can you elaborate on how going to therapy is “a large part of the problem.”
Like I said, I'm including capital gains income in my figures. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make in your first sentence. Capital gains are taxed lower because, in theory, that income was already taxed at the corporate tax level, since capital gains come out of corporate profits. Wages, on the other hand, are a corporate expense, so they're exempt from the corporate tax. This whole thing is somewhat broken by the corporate tax being easily avoided for large corporations. But anyway, this whole thing is an aside and irrelevant.

Look here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_in_the_Uni... . The Top 1% is the small bright pink part of the furthest right bar. You can raid them at 50% tax every year if you'd like, but that's not going to make a big difference.
Joking aside, the history of Christmas is genuinely quite fascinating:

Thank you for solving my 20 years mystery.
I'm a very casual Ubuntu user, but I use external monitors with my laptop closed. I fixed the "5 second input lag when main display is off" bug a bunch of times, it seemed to break again every third time I restarted. Eventually I saw a snarky "or you losers could just switch to Wayland" comment, I tried it, and I haven't had a problem since.

I'm learning a lot about the politics of the situation in here! For me, Wayland worked.
If you don’t really have a fraud case to report, you are actually reporting fraud on yourself. Think about it.
Good idea IMO, but I think he should choose the one he wants. There are different variants that sound and feel different, and it's a matter of preference. Only he can know which one he likes the most.
As a brazilian, I agree with you. Pretty much everybody I know likes Pelé.
Are you being pandered to or is the author on to something? You don't get good at stuff without practice, conflict resolution, independence, adulting in general, the age at which people are able to start practicing these seems to always be creeping upward to the detriment of everyone except the single-issue do-gooders who get to decry success because there's less teens pregant, smoking or whatever their shtick is.
The moon is a near vacuum, so aerogel is the wrong approach. The main form of heat loss is radiative, and the way to reduce radiative loss is with many layers of shiny things. This works like the superinsulation between layers of a Dewar flask. It could be literally a layered structure or a filling of shiny fluffy stuff inside something else. This will dramatically outperform mineral wool or really anything practical on Earth. All this insulation goes on the outside, vacuum side of whatever pressure vessel people live in.

To the extent the lunar atmosphere is dense enough to cause meaningful conductive loss, one could pump a better vacuum inside the insulation. The pressure difference between this high vacuum and the lunar atmosphere would be low, so the mechanical strength needed for whatever container holds it would be corresponding low. (This seems very unlikely to be a problem at all. The moon’s atmosphere has an extremely low pressure. Offgassing from the insulation seems like a bigger concern.
The concept of a living wage is not new and it is calculated and used by many governments.

Fair point, which I hadn't considered. Hydrogen seems to be fairly inefficient regarding production, transport and storage, though. At least for now.
Those who are punished by not tipping are unlikely to be the exclusive cause for poor service.
Modern compilers have flags that add memory and stack canaries does that count?
You can do this with Karabiner-Elements, but as noted this doesn't work everywhere — IIRC, it doesn't work in apps that don't have a "Paste and Match Style" menu item. Pure Paste solves this, as does Paste Plain Text.

If you use Raycast (highly recommended), you can also use its Paste As Plain Text extension: https://www.raycast.com/koinzhang/paste-as-plain-text
Just hang your room from a wire (or 3) and wrap the thing in aluminized (or gold) mylar reflector. You've got an almost perfect thermos. Pretty quickly, you'll have to dump waste heat. Now cooling is pretty easy since just need a radiator in shadow. You could run a full on heat pump if you wanted to collect and store power, but this isn't like earth where there's an atmosphere with wind and rain. Or a place where there isn't always a significant solid angle of 3k space to radiate to, most of the sky is always night.

It's just weird to me that they wouldn't go to the interesting and water/gas rich craters perpetually at the terminator. You've always got power there... just start digging.
It’s contextual.

At the airport (Houston, specifically), I prefer to use the self-service tablet as it’s more convenient.

At restaurants I will not order via toast (or similar), since it requires an account. If that is the only option, I will leave.
I’d agree with you if the compiler was mandatory, but it’s not. In fact the docs recommend not setting it up until you are ready to deploy to production. It very much is just a function.
+1 for the Elixir recommendation. Whenever I'm looking for ergonomics, I try to look for the functional languages (Haskell, Elixir, Ocaml, Idris, etc.).

And since you mentioned dynamic languages and Ruby, I think it might be a really good match for you!
Capital gains are created by investing income that has already been taxed. Any tax on capital gains, at least in principle, is double taxation. (This doesn't mean that the optimal tax on capital gains should be zero because in practice, lots of capital gains correlates with lots of competence at generating earned income - so, in a way, that double taxation can be seen as earned-income taxation in disguise. It does mean that there's plenty of reason not to treat them the same.)
> Being able to live in Manhattan on waiter's earnings is wishful thinking.

That's factually untrue and kind of an absurd statement. Of course people live in Manhattan working as servers.
Yeah, but I thought a lot of /inconsistencies/ were overblown with 1 side of the political spectrum jumping on any change in messaging to promote distrust. I wouldn't expect 20-30 people giving press conferences over 2-3 years to say the same things. I do remember precautions changing, like not using masks (supposedly to reserve them for hospital staff), and then it changed. I think a lot of the problem was we want to be treated like level-headed adults. We want to know the intent behind the messaging. Without being transparent, so many conspiracies filled the void.. :(
What's your qualification for "nice"? For me, it's decent public infrastructure, convenient access to both basic goods (groceries) and "light" luxuries (restaurants, bars), and a broad lack of concern that I'm going to be victimized by a crime.

Most of the US satisfies these constraints, especially if you own and don't mind driving a car.
Your experience with self-checkout is drastically worse than mine.

I use it because it's always faster than the cashier lines unless those are empty, which they never are.

I'm interested in this just for the use case of 'a sql frontend for polars' - I wonder if just that part could be used independently?
Trino can be fault tolerant but you have to explicitly enable fault tolerant execution.

It might be worth running your benchmarks against Trino with fault tolerant execution mode enabled. Check the documentation here: https://trino.io/docs/current/admin/fault-tolerant-execution...

Adding fault tolerant to execution to Trino was a big and complicated project for anyone interested in more details check here: https://trino.io/blog/2022/05/05/tardigrade-launch.html

Where are you based? Here in SV I've never seen delivery fees like that. They always tack on at least $5 in mandatory fees, to say nothing of their inflated pricing (versus ordering direct from the restaurant).
> Why do you expect that the app won't have such information displayed?

I've used them. They don't. You seem to be conflating a description of how things are today with how things could be run instead.
I fear for the day when over‐the‐air broadcasts are no longer a one‐way connection. Apparently ATSC 3.0 has a capability to broadcast webapps that are then run on the receiver side.
They essentially made the internet unusable for Tor users. If you either got lucky or sat there for 5 minutes (that's 300 seconds), you could make it onto a website. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34181351

Right now it's broken again, they just give you a captcha that breaks 90% of the time and fucktarded propaganda points that don't even make any sense to anyone over 30, like "in 2003, botnets were 1000-5000 computers now they are millions".
Probably Go. All of those concerns are addressed by Go, but with a much easier transition and DX (dev experience) from Python than Rust.
It isn’t obvious that you were making a proposal, it looked more like you were describing the current situation.

As an idea… it might be neat to try at least. But I think you’d have to build the whole service around delivery bidding, there must be abuses in this sort of market, right? As a customer, make 10 accounts and “take” every bid higher than yours, that sort of thing.
I don’t get your analogy.

Comparing manual labor to industrialized farming is comparing (paper) accounting books to programming.

Whether you add gps based differential seeding to just doing it by ‘feel’ but still with machines is the difference of programmer brain cycles. Efficiency is not all obviously and there are different efficiencies one can find relevant. Why is this controversial?
This would have happened somewhere between Vacaville and Davis, inclusive.

I'm reporting the itemized delivery fee advertised by the services. I did no investigation at all, because I wasn't looking for delivery.
My First Impressions of Tailscale
No, I was responding to the logic (which I think is erroneous) of:

> If a business is pushing for tips (those dumbass Toast POS consoles that now often start tipping at 20%), the workers are underpaid.

If the argument is “if workers are paying for their mortgage with tips, then they are underpaid”, then I would respond that analyzing each individual’s cost structure to determine how much you should pay them is, at the least, very inefficient.
You don't compare athletes from different eras directly against one another. You compare how dominant and ahead of their peers they were during their respective eras.
I think so-called "free-range parenting" may be what they have in mind.
Ask HN: What is your new year's resolution?
What do you plan to achieve this year? Both professionally and personally.

Are you going to learn a new programming language? Familiarize yourself with a concept? Spend time with family?
I think a problem you get with tipping is that you have no idea what the worker is getting paid, and you have no idea what they deserve. You go up to the counter and you assume that's the case, and I'm sure much more often than not, they're not raking it in, but it's it a demeaning thing to look at someone and say "hey you look poor, here's some extra money that wasn't part of the bill"?

Unionized may end up deciding that tips work in their favor, so that's not necessarily a solution. What we really need is for the government to ban soliciting of tips or to ensure prices are fully transparent prior to sale. That's a more realistic solution anyway, and one with fewer potential societal costs to it.
501(c)3's are some of the most political organizations out there. The only thing they can't do is be directly involved in electoral politics. But social influence and ideologically driven work, that's totally fine.
> The primary, actual risks to children who are roaming are those that involve law enforcement and intolerant adults.

Any statistics on that ?

I grew up in 90s and in a family with 5 younger siblings my mother couldn't keep up. I got hit by a car running across the street at 6 (I think I was that age). I would roam local forest and street - visiting there recently I remembered how I went to pick up my ball once and nearly pulled through grabbing on a small tree. I kind of remember local people running up to the fence and yelling me back. I had no perception of how dangerous it was back then - looking at it now it was ~ 10 m drop on sharp rocks - if I slid through I was probably dead. I remember a similar experience roaming a nearby forest next to a highway tunel exit.

Looking back I'm lucky to be alive. I have only one son and will probably get to have one more child, no 6 kids strategy for me.

The thought of my son having a similar childhood terrifies me.
I do wonder why it’s creeping upward though given it’s proportional and would increase as prices increase - perhaps it’s a symptom of employers paying even less after controlling for inflation etc. when comparing then vs now
> It isn’t obvious that you were making a proposal, it looked more like you were describing the current situation.

I realized that after reading some of the replies. I made various edits accordingly.

>As an idea… it might be neat to try at least. But I think you’d have to build the whole service around delivery bidding, there must be abuses in this sort of market, right? As a customer, make 10 accounts and “take” every bid higher than yours, that sort of thing.

This is probably a non-issue. My impression is that it takes a non-trivial amount of work to get a driver account on such platforms. At the very least you need to give some sort of driver license scan and/or background/SSN check. That alone makes it fairly hard to set up fake accounts to take out competing bids, just so you can save $5 or whatever on your delivery.
I think it lacks a lot of data, before when I search "head first" on Z-library, pretty sure it got a ton of results, and now only 5 pages. What's the reason behind this?
This is why you abolish the word “unit” in your factory. “Unit” has no actual meaning. It’s just a filler word for an object that you should be mentioning explicitly.
The article complains about automation replacing workers. This complaint goes back to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, but automation has enabled us to sit in warm houses and watch Netflix all day rather than spending every day picking bugs off of our crops.

The other thing it complains about is cutting costs. Well, Southwest has the cheapest air fares. You don't get top flight customer service when you buy the cheap seats. Customers have shown that they prefer lower prices to better service. They voted with their dollars.

McDonald's has replaced their cashiers with a kiosk. There's still a cashier there, but most of the customers (including me) prefer the kiosk because (at least in my case) it's faster.

The other day I went to a full service restaurant with a friend. Two burgers and a couple drinks went for $130. The restaurant was mostly empty, with more staff than customers. I don't think they're going to last.
"Why is this on HN?" posts are dumb, I'm sorry to say that. If HN's audience didn't give a crap about a post, it won't get to first page.
When people say "pure X", to me, it normally means they didn't involve an FFI or external compiler. This is an often beneficial thing (though also often at the expense of performance and maybe correctness) since it simplifies your build process.

For example, here [0] is a "pure Python postgres driver" and the implication is that it doesn't use libpg.

Or see also this discussion [1].

I don't mean that the author should or shouldn't do whatever they want. I just wouldn't use the term "pure" here or even say this is an engine written in Python since a large chunk of it is not written in Python. That doesn't mean this is not a cool project. It's a cool project!

1) What good would it do to subject the execs and shareholders to vitriol?

2) Is this even a new thing? Did John D. Rockefeller ever have to endure an angry tirade from someone pissed about the gas prices?

3) Have you seen Southwest's stock price? The workers are getting their pay no matter what. The shareholders have just lost $3 billion in value.

4) Are we just going to pretend that the airlines didn't nearly just collapse 2 years ago? SouthWest took on a peak of $11 billion in debt as of 2021 Q3, now down to $8 billion. Do you blame them for cutting customer support staff?

5) Southwest does have a variety of consumer friendly policies: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/travel/reasons-southwest-...

I have. I am about 2x faster than trino with fault tolerance. But I didn't put the numbers on that plot because this trino feature is still really new and I might not be benchmarking it in the best way.
