The job description the company creates and designs anyway, establishing the pay rate for as it is. The employee gets no say in any of that, other than declining the initial job offer. Pretty damn one sided to start with.
> Also, the modern focus on meditation is, well, modern—a result of Buddhism finding purchase in the psychology-loving West as a sort of innovative lifestyle choice. Most lay Buddhists of history did not engage in meditation.

This is the part that resonated the most with me. Never understood this (western) obsession with meditation. I have a few friends, born and raised in Buddhist homes; not a single one of them was taught to meditate.

In any case, I still have a lot of respect for Buddhism. Remember your good friend, breath.
> This doesn't seem like a particularly great strategy, compared with the alternative of running a stablecoin and exchange that doesn't look dodgy (or indeed an actual fraud which is at least insanely lucrative).

It is very much not insanely lucrative to run a normal stablecoin business. At least, not until very recently. Cash equivalent yields have been extremely low for the past decade, until the last year. USDC's net income numbers are public, and they suck.
CDI has a specification, _an extensive specification_, defining the _exact_ behavior of the framework. It is not magic, it’s consistent, predictable, and deterministic. The implementation we use OpenWebBeans, and the alternative implementation Weld, have extensive extensive self tests. I don’t think ever had an issue upgrading over 12 years of using the frameworks.

https://jakarta.ee/specifications/cdi/3.0/jakarta-cdi-spec-3...

I would use a DI or a language that _didn’t_ have a spec or you would experience the things in the two articles people fear.
As I understand it, a solar storm (which is what the article talks about - clickbait title should be edited) would primarily affect a) satellites b) things with long wires on earth, i.e. the power grid and copper communications.

Not sure how undersea cables that have copper for amplifier power would be affected (e.g. whether water shields from this or not).

To my knowledge, computers should not be directly affected (but may be affected by power grid fluctuations, which shouldn't affect computers on ships).

Ships themselves should be largely unaffected aside from losing access to GPS if the satellites were destroyed. I assume that would disrupt shipping to some extent but not sure how much. Navigating without GPS is possible but less accurate and more time-consuming. It's also unclear if GPS satellites would be affected at all. Their orbit is high enough that changes to the atmosphere shouldn't affect them, and I'm not sure if the increase in solar radiation would be expected to destroy them or not.
I don't know a lot about the electrical grid, but I had heard that the Texas grid came within minutes of complete collapse during February 2021. I have no idea how they made the decisions they did, but I feel like at some point you need an engineer or two who understand the consequences of failing to take action standing by to just press the button when the time comes.
Hopefully not, as including fossil fuel industries in “climate tech” would be very disingenuous.

> The D&D rules aren't free software,

My point is they wouldn't be, even if the rules were software, because the violate the zeroth essential software freedom. I bring this up particularly because the earlier versions of the OGL are compared to free software licenses in this thread. This new license is nothing of the sort.

> branding concerns

That's not special to tabletop gaming, software has branding too and there are certainly advocates for adding "no evil" clauses to licenses, like Douglas Crockford. But addressing such concerns in the license makes that license non-free.
They would agree on what the ruling was, and agree that it sets some kind of precedent on some level, but not necessarily that it was good.

I don't think GP said anything about intent. If you "accidentally" upskirt someone and release it on TikTok, the victim and the court isn't going to be too impressed with "I didn't mean to and didn't notice it before uploading". Of course, there is some expectation of "within reason". Like, if you have to look at the reflection in the window, it is entirely reasonable to think someone may not have noticed before uploading.

Agree to disagree. Saying git exists therefore it should be used it like saying is all you have is a hammer everything is a nail. You wouldn't use a hammer for a screw and you shouldn't use git for art assets.

git-lfs only solves storage. It doesn't solve the 50 other things that are special about art assets.

Lastly there’s just so much infrastructure around git.

All that infra has nothing to do with art assets though. Again, looking at art as nail because all you have is a hammer (git)

Then you've completely misread my comments. Where did you get the idea that I'm interested in anything other than what actually works in reducing harm? Can you quote me?

Pumping money into education about the pros and cons of recreational drug use would likely do a lot to reduce abuse and addiction. However only talking about the harms was already tried and was a failure. Most kids will at least try alcohol or marijuana or vaping nicotine and if you've already lied by omission about the pros they won't trust you anymore. But if you can manage to educate in an unbiased and scientific way that would likely lead to fewer lives damaged. Worth a try at least.
Reminds me of this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Biggest_Little_Farm.
you have it backwards. The reinforcement handles tensile stress, keeping more of the concrete section in compression, where its strong. In concrete where the reinforcing isn't tensioned, the concrete below the reinforcing will crack as it is very weak in tension. In concrete that is pretensioned, the tension in the rebar is used to apply compression on the concrete so that it might never get into a tensile load and crack, which also reduces deflection under load.

The rebar handles tensile loads, the concrete handles compressive loads. You put the rebar where tension will exist so that it can handle that. Some amount of cracking on non-pretensioned concrete is normal and unavoidable.
The biggest snag I remember when it came to running DOS software from companies that were not aware of the PC-98 was drive lettering.

On PC-98 your boot drive was A: followed by your other drives of the same type and then your other drives of different types.

Let's say you had 2 floppies and 1 hard drive, and booted from the hard drive. The hard drive would be A: and the floppies would be B: and C:. If you booted from floppy the boot floppy drive would be A: and the other floppy B: and the hard drive would be C:.

A lot of DOS software that needed to find a hard drive would start its search at C:.
You’ll be happy to hear that I wasn’t being serious.
Even in the event that Coinbase became insolvent, theoretically that shouldn't impact USDC. USDC has entirely separate reserves that are in short term debt instruments (i.e. T-bills) and cash equivalents, uncorrelated to the crypto ecosystem, and very safe.

Even if the parent company of USDC (which is actually Circle, not Coinbase) were to become insolvent, that theoretically doesn't impact USDC at all, other than maybe USDC would have to wind down operations, and then people would just redeem for USD.

The only scenario where USDC holders would be in trouble is if Circle violated their agreements and started making unsafe self-dealing investments with the USDC deposited funds. That is something that theoretically could happen, but since the operators are in the US, they would certainly go to prison for it. And we have reasonably reliable audits that state clearly that, at least so far, this has not happened.

I suppose inferior depends on what purposes they are used for. Was it worth discarding a very large potential market? Even in 1987, IBM PCs (and compatibles) had ~66% of market share, with Apple ~10%. By 1990, PCs had >80% of the market.

Yeah but not everybody at Woodstock was recording everything that they and everyone around them did.

Almost every single citizen is now equipped with a surveillance device at all hours of their life, and they have incentive to use them and share the data they collect. This is little to no recourse for you if you don't want to be recorded. At least in the 60s it was a handful of news casters with huge equipment you could steer clear of.
Honestly the majority of programmers I have interacted with are now going back in to the office most days. The social isolation of remote work is sinking in.
Krishna in the Bhagivad-Gita is incredibly violent. He slaughters the armies of friend and foe alike (Arjuna and his brothers) and reveals himself to Arjuna as a fanged eater of worlds.

Gotama Buddha tried to defend himself from Mara before the Bhodi tree, until he stopped in realization that the earth himself would protect him. I believe that is the most violent act of Gotama Buddha, but I am not certain.

There is a profound difference here.
Someone has added http://cseo-coherence.microsoft.com to their CNAME file on Github Pages, as this domain's DNS entries were already pointing to GitHub Pages.

It's a subdomain takeover, but not as we would normally think of it (getting access to the DNS settings and pointing them to what we want) but from getting "access" to the server the subdomain already points to.
I think I read that they are planning to start lowering the financial support from Denmark this year. But only by a small bit. With no concrete plan of weaning fully of it. So the end of the union still is far off it seems. As long as Greenland wants support they should get it, as they really need it, but the Faroe Islands should have been on-track for independence a long time ago imo.

The entirety of the rest of the world, maybe. But there are plenty of locations with similar conditions, and way more that are only somewhat less amenable in those respects and potentially more amenable in others.

I would also point out (as a general remark, not specifically aimed at you) that many of the arguments that have been made against better cycling infrastructure, could also have applied to the Netherlands a couple of decades ago. I think the idea is dismissed far more often than warranted, given how it was successful here anyway, which might indicate that gut instincts might need some calibration.

As an SF resident for over a decade, it is absolutely accurate. SF was not as much like this before, but over the past 15 years, it has become an absolute hive of scum and villainy. I am not joking about this at all, several times I have seen people get into physical altercations on the street with mentally deranged drug addicts. I've had my car broken into so many times that I've had to rent a garage space for $550/month. This used to be only characteristic of the Tenderloin and its surroundings, but it has spread far and wide. Well into SOMA, the mission district, and beyond.

Sacks leaves out the lease duration for a reason. Prices on short term leases swing up and down dramatically more than a normal 10 year commercial lease. Still a great deal for startups, though, if they don't want to go remote.
> I don't think they're playing with the trust of their own stablecoin to get cheap USDT, it'd be better for them to be more trustworthy and have more USD to invest in safe investments with low interests, but they're probably losing some market share to more trustworthy (US-based) stablecoins because of how shady they look.

I think as of today that is a true statement, because yields on safe investments are now so high. But for the last decade I think it has been quite false. If Tether had only been investing in treasuries and had no other revenue strategy for the past 10 years, their profits would not be nearly as high as if they had pursued the strategy I suggested. And remember, for many years they were literally the only game in town, they had no competition to worry about.

They've trademarked "Dungeons and Dragons" branding and those bits of the D&D brand that are actually at least somewhat unique rather than directly based on other fantasy sources (this is part of why, for example, tieflings are fairly prominent in newer editions).

There are plenty of things in D&D that would be protected by neither copyright nor trademark because they aren't even close to being original or unique to D&D: fighters, wizards, orcs, dungeons, dragons, taverns, elves, gnomes, the list goes on and on...
Just as a side note, I remember an interview with Caro in which he discusses Dick Russell with a very obvious hatred that does not come across in the book. I don't know if it developed over time or if the book is disingenuously "even-handed" or what.

I think everybody in the world is pretty clear about the fact that OGL 1.1 isn't comparable to a FOSS license. It requires revenue reporting and a 25% royalty on all gross returns above a threshold! It's a commercial license, and an onerous one.

Everything has branding, but products and projects exist on a spectrum of sensitivity to branding issues; the representation in media of a Disney character would be at one far end of the spectrum, the uses an open source image editor were put to might be at the other. WOTC's D&D IP is somewhere in the middle.
The mayor finally snapped and realized that things need to change, but every attempt to improve the situation is opposed by some interest group or group of residents who still hold on to the same bad set of policies that let the problem get so bad in the first place.

That would be perfect. It would be so much better if they just sent you a form with a few numbers on. And the maths and format were the same irrespective of the firm. One from each of your brokers, add the numbers together, put onto tax return, submit and sleep soundly.

> One bit of context here to keep in mind is that there have been tabletop releases that have been incredibly clearly on the far side of that line,

What is "incredibly clear" to you is not necessarily clear to others. I know for a fact that some people consider games having a "dark elf" race to make the game itself racist, and consider much that was normal in fantasy media in the 80s and 90s to be deeply problematic today. Including much of D&D. The game even having racial classes with different characteristics is offensive to some people.

Normally this is simply a point of low-stakes debate between players, but when you add such a clause to a license the subjectivity of the matter becomes a liability to anybody that would make commercial use of the licensed material.
Rebase is a lot more than a merge strategy. Merging is only one of the things it can do. Rebase -i allows you to rewrite history, and if you rewrite history of shared code, it leads to all sorts of issues with git.
So does Glibc in its stdio implementation (bog-standard vtables except the vtable pointer can occasionally change at runtime), Linux in a number of places (I don’t really know much there), the FreeBSD kernel in its driver ABI (more like ObjC than C++) and many others.

(GObject is of course also object-oriented, but IMO hardly counts as C programming in how it works, it’s more of a separate OO language hand-translated into C—Vala is basically that language, finally implemented years later.)
In principle, sure, but I don't think it's a meaningful question because the contexts around Islam and Buddhism could not be more different, at least in online Western culture, which HN is part of. If an article appeared with that title, it would already be written for a completely different reason. You can't take such a title as an abstraction and perform substitutions on it and get meaningful results.

Edit: I suppose I should clarify one more bit. For HN we would decide this based not on the title, but rather on the article—whether or not it can support an intellectually curious conversation without devolving into flamewar, as the site mandate calls for (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). My take on the OP was "yes it can", although we're starting to see religious flamelets eating into the margins even in this thread.

> it's usually much more efficient to eat plants directly instead of feeding them to animals.

This is true for plants that can be eaten by humans. Animals eating grass on non-arable land on the other hand doesn't suffer from that inefficiency.
I'm not sure what you're disagreeing with then. Or are you agreeing with me?

I like these 'pendulum swings' kind of posts. In couple of years this will be more widespread. Then, in another couple of years somebody will invent containers for easy testing, but, in meantime we will learn some useful things.
I agree. There is a lot of folklore amongst advertisers. Also, the companies serving the ads, do not care whether the advertisement achieves it's purpose, they only care about the goal they get paid for. Next, there is the rat race between advertisers, outbidding each other on certain users. The house always wins.

Removing PII will hopefully hurt the greedy ad serving companies most. Though I am scared they will find workarounds.
Repeat after me and breathe deeply:

The quirks and preferences of the next generation that are different from my quirks and preferences are just different, not necessarily better or worse.

People have been complaining about the terrible thing the new generation does since there has been people. It's a bug / feature of our relatively short lifespan - on one hand our souls calcify a bit as we age and we start to see new as scary at the same time we are getting more powerful in society. On the other hand the reaction to the calcification of the soul that the newer generation has helps to push things into new and different directions, but at a time when those people are not very powerful in society.

It's an interesting balance, and its fun to think about how culture and society would change if that balance was tipped one way or the other.

Elevators are ridiculously configurable. I know there are the famous talks on firefighter mode etc., but is there any in-depth presentation, manual explaining the configuration options, or other documentation for all the ways an elevator can be set up?

For example, I suspect all of these cheat codes can be enabled or disabled based on wishes by the building owner, and aside from parameters like how long the door stays open, the dispatching strategies can be configured too. Seeing the options and the thoughts that go into choosing a configuration would be super interesting.
