You're putting in a lot of words in my mouth and it's a bit weird how aggressive you're coming off here.

There's nothing I'm proposing here at all. I'm only critical of the obvious pro-private militarized police force, which every American should be. And this article is blatant propaganda for that agenda. The author herself works at The Federalist Society, a far-right conservative magazine.
Improving workers lives is depressing? I'm truly not following.

I'm saying literally "surely we can make this world better for everyone", and you see it as a negative?
Maybe I was not savvy enough to detect that “defund the police” was actually a call for privatization. What many people rightly identified at the time was a need for reallocation of police funds to things like social workers.

All of the increases in social problems we’ve seen in the last 40 years are the tax that we pay for increasing wealth inequality.
My chainsaw runs on Aspen, which is a synthetic replacement for gasoline. It doesn't cause a headache when I'm exposed to the exhaust fumes for long times. It's quite expensive though, about 4€/l (15€/gallon).

GP was pointing out that things like wage theft is a much bigger priority over petty shoplifting.

The combined value of all robberies (shoplifting, mugging, etc) in 2012 was $341 million while wage theft alone accounts for $933 million yet we spend far more trying to prevent the former and hardly do anything to prevent the latter which primarily affects minimum wage workers

After reading Super Pumped it would take a small army of lawyers to convince me that working with a Kalanick company is anything but a terrible idea.
They're still working on the means to get there - which will set the limits on everything else - so it's pretty ridiculous to be arguing that they aren't serious because they haven't gotten to the rest of the work.

What you are saying now is very different from the calculus required to determine if humanities extinction is a catastrophe.

It is one by our point of view, and most humans argue that (a) our point of view is the only one that matters since in the grand aspect we haven’t found any other intelligent point of view, though we theorize they may exist and (b) judging the pain of death as catastrophe is a personal choice, even on Earth we allow people to call the death of their loved ones catastrophic even if other humans continue to go on living blithely unaware of their pain.

Well I followed the link and there isn't a salary range there either.
I feel like, the reason is in the text in itself and the ML software flagged it, because it's to similar to fake reviews..
"State management is complex, so we used a framework to make things easier."

"Why use a widely popular, well-documented, battle-tested framework? Just have one of your senior devs build something over the weekend. This will definitely reduce complexity."

Like... I get what you're saying. But "build your own" is not a default answer for an extremely complicated software engineering topic (which, yes, state management is!)
"The reason people want to colonize Mars is because it solves the problem of an extinction event on earth wiping out all of humanity (assuming the Mars colony eventually becomes self sustaining). Populating Antarctica doesn't solve that problem."

It doesn't.

The article felt like it was more against them being used in functions as switches. I don't think (could have missed it) that there was any discussion about using them in transport, because they are necessary there, but deserializing them to richer objects before going into code like was detailed in the article is a good idea IMO.

Could it be that people who sweat have lower serum sodium?

I wonder if it's possible to lower the value not only by adding water, but by sweating out the sodium?

People who exercise or use saunas have much lower mortality rates.

Of course, maybe they have to hydrate, as they remove sodium through their sweat and their body might accentuate their sense of thirst.

additionally, people's sense of thirst is decreased as they get older.

A bit of both. PPB is a tiny force for a city the size of Portland. 313 patrol officers over 3 shifts for a city of 650,000. https://www.portland.gov/police/open-data/ppb-staffing-repor...

But even if they were fully staffed and had time to “criminalize homelessness”, the DA is reluctant to prosecute.

But even if the DA presses charges, there is a huge public defender shortage. Loads of people are being set free and having cases dismissed for want of legal representation.

https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/car-thefts-dismissed-...

In summary:

- police don’t have time or resources to investigate anything that isn’t a homicide (with some exceptions)

- the DA won’t prosecute, to the point that criminals actively know to commit crimes in MultCo

- if the DA does take the case, it will be dismissed because there aren’t enough public defenders

>I know many people in places like Austin and Boise are very nervous about the types of people moving in and not picking up on local values.

This sounds like knee jerk nativism. How many people would it take to move and overwhelm an entire city’s culture? Let’s assume a plurality of 30% could do it. I think a wave of people of that size is going to cause problems whatever their political beliefs are.

Win32 Is The Only Stable ABI on Linux: https://blog.hiler.eu/win32-the-only-stable-abi/
This same concept comes up frequently, when you have two opposing states of the same entity, which both oppose changing to the other.

i.e. a sleepy kid who doesn't want to go to bed vs that same kid, well-rested the next day. They both resist becoming each other, yet they're the same person.

There doesn't seem to be a way to rectify this conflict without a unifying value system (or just letting nature decide). Parents frequently overrule one version of an entity and force it to another. There are more contentious examples like forcing an alcoholic to get sober, or putting a resistant kid through boot camp "for their own good".

The general point is that there's an argument against always obeying an entity's local preferences. But, generally accepting the right to overrule someone's preferences opens the door to all kinds of exploitation, too. It doesn't seem clear how to resolve this, and there may not be a single answer. Some people argue as if all potential states are equally valid, and we should judge by the retroactive reward we would get from adjusting states.
It’s the same situation for business vs academia, business vs standardization processes, business vs anything.
The majority of the population on Earth doesn't need to want to go to Mars, only a small minority does. That small minority has to overlap with those who can actually fund it.
In reality I noticed that while it helps in maintaining the set temperature in a given room, it ends up over heating or cooling some of the other rooms.

Unless you have controllable vents like this https://flair.co/pages/flair-google-nest-thermostat it probably won’t help much (as one of the comment says, this product isn’t well reviewed. I was just giving an example).
I'm not seeing them for 10 cents anyplace? Holtek 'Buy Online' shows $1.50 @ 500+. So I'm guessing the ten cent price comes in at orders of a million or more?

Holtek makes a lot of esoteric parts, such as the IC for musical greeting cards.

Resource wise these are around 8048 or 1802 style programming.
The kind of stuff I love to do.

Some projects just can't afford heavy resource parts.
The Toy Industry for one.

EM Microelectronics also makes LOW end parts. 4-Bit parts are still a thing.

IMHO it is a worthwhile discussion, but not according to @dang's understanding of HN:

> HN is not a site for discussing legal matters per se, but only the ones that gratify intellectual curiosity, and only to the extent that they do. That is what we're optimizing for here.

Taken at face value, it is unclear if this particular discussion "gratifies intellectual curiosity"

It's important to note that they were happy taking money from Guests. It's only the reviews they're blocking.

Reviews are an auxiliary cost to Airbnb. They need moderating and their Hosts complain and use up support time if bad reviews are let through. I suggest profiling users is a quick and cheap way they've done the sums on to weed out the easiest level of abuse (on both sides).

They're not going to lose any business until it affects you.
The universe is effectively infinite btw. Most people quite like potatoes and if there's a larger population more people can be musicians. The bloody minded bean counter mentality is more religion than anything.
regarding social interaction, I am running a hybrid US (3 people) - China (4 people) team. My teammates in China just don't usually in meetings / "coffee hours" (mostly due to language and cultural barriers). So any type of cross border team building and social bantering just fall flat. Does anyone have any similar experience and how they address this?
(Your post said "SEEKING FREELANCE" but I've changed it to "SEEKING WORK" in keeping with the instructions at the top.)
Pragmatic Event Sourcing
I see your point - but rather than hate your colleague for not doing their job well, why not find a way to give them feedback? "Trust" is obviously not a substitute for performance management - but having high psychological safety/trust makes it 10x easier to have a conversation with a colleague to say "Hey I noticed you asked this question in slack - we've actually got this in a wiki over here" or "hey, I noticed you keep submitting non functioning code - why is this?". This sounds like you are describing a junior engineer - perhaps you will learn something along the way - perhaps their local dev environment is broken meaning they can't run the tests without pushing to GitHub actions, and they don't know how to fix it, but they're in a low psychological safety culture that makes them afraid of asking "basic questions" (as you put it) in Slack.

What's your philosophy on developing people in teams? I'm sure it's not just to 'hate' people into good performance. If you take a long view on people, you have to create a space where people are comfortable admitting their shortcomings.
Yeah I miss packet also. We used to have long chats on the local BBS and in the monitor window sometimes. And I'd hop all over the country and sometimes even via satellites.

But APRS totally killed packet :'( Now it's just a dumb positioning service that nobody interacts with, they just leave it on auto mode.

I wonder if APRS hadn't happened, would faster packet modes have continued to be developed? The problem was that 9600 was fast enough for APRS so nobody cared about making a faster mode.
kid3 is a neat name. It is a KDE program for editing ID3 tags of audio files.
my first post covered all of this rehash posted as a rebuttal

"despite the small sample size"

"despite their ambitions"

for people with the typical archetype "it amplifies their ambition if they want"

"whether it has anything to do with their race or not"

"the “average salary” of MBA alumnis is not what is interesting about getting one"

the point is for more examples that show its not a waste of time for ambitious BIPOC, and what archetype would help integrate them into the archetype that often happens to also have an MBA. is it possible to obtain this archetype or are we really in a caste system.
You say SE, but by your description it almost sounds like you moved to Felony Flats. That's a rough area indeed, even by Portland standards.

I may eventually leave the area altogether, but at this point I only enjoy Portland by not living within the city limits. Instead I live in a quieter area of town that doesn't involve Multnomah County or the City of Portland, and we manage to avoid much of the dumb politics they experience. But if I want to enjoy some aspect of urban life, downtown is only 20 minutes away.
While it may be technically possible to run old applications on Linux, it likely requires significant pain. In Windows land, if you had a random installer from 2000, there is a reasonable chance it would still work today.
I did this, but practiced like crazy before the interview since I knew what we would be building during interview.
I dislike the binary of "completely pristine" and the current state of police. One of the professions more likely to be a victim of violent criminals are delivery drivers. Still, if heavily armed delivery drivers started killing innocent people one would be allowed to critique that without being labeled "anti-pizza". That statistic is one of a number of things that are disallowed in conversations before being offered my "effing pick" between accepting no accountability for the actions of the state or no laws ever.
To elaborate, there are 130 "D1" scholarship teams in football in the US. There are 893 (https://www.ncsasports.org/football/colleges) teams overall. This is similar for other sports. This means 12% of college sports are what people are thinking of when they say college sports (eg what they might see on tv). So a very vocal minority.
How can you define my "productivity" on the basis of the laptop only with no individual data about myself? How can a 30GB presumably lacking in an SSD with ~890GB free space "degrade my productivity"? Is forgetting about crafting professional artisanal code on that cramped toy setup is just your personal opinion skewed by Dunning-Kruger effect or you can provide some arguments of a logical or physical type?
Such a sweet library! It's nice to see examples so well laid out.
REPORTER: The climate crisis. We’ve seen protests all over the globe this month. Mostly led by young people like Gretta Turnburg. Does the public outcry...does that increase the urgency for what you guys are doing here?

ELON: Well, I mean I really view what we’re doing here as making life multiplanetary as opposed to escaping, and I think like 99 percent of our resources should be spent making sure the future on Earth is good. But I think at least 1% of our resources should be used to make like multiplanetary and extending consciousness out to other planets. Both for the defensives reason of preserving the light of consciousness into the future as well as the adventure, the excitement - I find it personally more motivating than the defensive argument.

REPORTER: So you prefer to be an optimist rather than a pessimist?

ELON: I mean I think excitement and adventure and a sense of possibility about the future are incredibly important. Otherwise, why live?

Given that there's laws and international treaties forbidding mining, resource extraction or resource exploration, of course it's not economically worthwhile.
Less complex UI, interesting:
https://bcgsoft.com/galleries.htm (psst, a secret, BCG is just a library on top of MFC)

Please DO open Word 97 (and this is 26 years old UI) and compare it with the best done web UI you are aware of, regardless of framework, as long it is not QT compiled into webasm (as this is the only thing on web that comes close).

Now why is that, I don't know. But I can tell you what I can see as a user. Web frameworks/developers/name_your_poison are doing a really, really bad job regarding UI.
Oil Shell | C++ / Python Language Engineer | Remote (e.g. Canada, Europe), Flexible, Open Source | https://oilshell.org

I have a slightly unusual job funded by a grant under https://nlnet.nl ! Everything is flexible -- think of it as an open source project where you happen to get paid.

We started in June, and there are currently 2 part-time contributors. We can use more help!

The job is to work on a shell interpreter in C++/Python with a TINY and cool garbage-collected runtime. Depending on your interest, you can work on:

(1) Data-structure heavy, performance-sensitive C++ code -- e.g. mark bitmaps for the GC, small value optimization, lazy sweeping, hash tables, and more. We have an objective goal that enables creativity: make the shell as fast as bash. Currently it's 1.6x slower on a long batch workload.

This runtime will let us add real data structures and JSON to a compatible shell! ( http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/01/why-a-new-shell.html )

(2) Semi-automatically translating code from typed Python to C++. This can be simple (adding MyPy types) or involved (compiling Python's yield to state machines)

(3) Benchmarks, builds, testing -- I like automating everything, and shell works great here :)

We've made great progress lately -- here's a screencast of our ~6000 line GC runtime working on real code (note debug output from the GC):

https://asciinema.org/a/547312?t=30 (this worked as of 11 days ago, detailed blog post upcoming)

Some background: A Garbage-Collected Heap in C++, Shaped Like Typed Python

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2022/05/gc-heap.html (and more on the blog)

Everything about the project is open, so please take a look and contact me at andy@oilshell.org if interested. We can chat online or do a video call (I'm based in the USA). We can also arrange a code walkthrough or PAID "trial period". We want people who will have fun working on these problems.

Compensation: First grant was for 50K euros, and a potential second grant would be for 50K, to be split up among contributors.

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/wiki/Where-Contributors-Have... -- We now have a fast and flexible Ninja build, as well as a comprehensive CI that keeps the master branch green

Imagine calling for “defund the NHS” and not expecting private alternatives to spring up. This is a completely predictable outcome and reveals a lack of systems/second order thinking on the part of activists.

The defund crowd imagined that if you just got rid of police, you’d get rid of all of the deep-rooted social issues that policing brings to light. If only it were so.
I'm sure it was, but "Absurd housing prices" is 7th on their list
