Layoffs have always been a part of tech. I've been laid-off three times during my nearly 40 year career: in 2 instances the company folded and in the other the project was cancelled and everybody working on it was let go.

That's the nature of this beast. Companies get bullish on the future and over hire, then they have to layoff. Completely new bet-the-company projects get launched and then turns out to be a bigger bite than the company could chew. It happens.

The rule-of-thumb I was always taught growing up in tech (and I started in the mid'80's) was expect to be laid-off at some point in your career and always make sure you have six months of expenses on hand to weather a layoff. It was good advice then, and it's good advice now.

> Is there a use case to use this on a phone?

You should probably be thinking of it the opposite way, is there a reason people wouldn’t use it on their phones? It’s on the web, the web is on your phone! People use their phones all the time for work-related things so they are going to expect this to be available there, too.

I would think more people on HN would understand the importance of data. Its pretty hard to change something that you aren't tracking.

what specifically is incoherent about it? I attempted to address that by noting that active areas of research will always have mutually incompatible theories that are incoherent when taken together, but perhaps I misunderstood what you meant.

This post is referring to NSCalendar and Swift's Calendar class.

"rolling blackout" is a very specific term used when grids are overloaded (usually when not enough generation is happening), which means that the operator is intentionally cutting power to some areas to save on energy. The areas keep changing (such that each area is out of power for just a few hours at a time), hence the name "rolling".

The OP said that the eastern storm is proof the grid is not resilient enough because of rolling blackouts, which I find hard to believe without some more sources/reasoning.

Interesting. My first visit could best be described as invasive, the doc checked every part of my body including places that have never seen sunlight. I was a bit surprised where they checked but it's just the job. I looked into digital imaging, they are even working on AI to identify changes but from what I read, at this time the best method is the old fashion look and see.
The reality is that the higher capacity goes not towards giving you more speed, but towards supporting more users per cell.

Progress has been underwhelming because the innovations are not stunning to consumers when pricing goes up every year while connectivity is becoming more and more of a metered utility.

Technological progress too often is based upon what will increase profit for shareholder driven companies, rather than for adding real value and simplifying lives of the consumers it was meant to serve.

There is a plateau for how much shareholder driven technology can sustain itself, and that ends exactly where consumers are no longer eagerly driven to buy new consumer products and services. It is being demonstrated a lot lately as despite many sites having an astronomical number of users, many of them rarely log in. It's time for companies to start paying attention to alternate metrics to drive their business models than just subscriptions, market investment, and net profit. Pricing and reliability will likely be the most competitive points in economies like this.

Make becomes a pretty terrible tool at a fairly low level of complexity. I would never choose it voluntarily to build things.
I wish I had these resources when I was in school. I was studying EE back in the late '80s. I had a textbook with maybe two worked out examples for each concept. The answers to the odd-numbered homework problems were in the back, but just as a number. So if I worked out a long problem and got, say, 5 as an answer, and the answer in the back was, say, -5, I had no real way of knowing if I made a mistake somewhere, or if the answer in the back of the book was incorrect. Working in groups was discouraged as a kind of cheating because you were supposed to do your own work. The professors weren't that interested in teaching because they felt they were there more to rank us. And the teaching assistants were mostly foreign-born with limited spoken English skills.

Home prices are in decline, and new home construction (SFH + MFH) is at an all time high (though dipped a bit recently). Rents are actually in deflation mode the past few months. If rates stay high, home prices will fall, absolutely. Unemployment will rise too.

Agreed that congress can do more to help though. Incentives are poorly structured to promote housing affordability.
If you can solve a problem without a microservice then probably it's not the right tool for the job.
I didn't and don't do a lot of software development. I was a product manager for a long time and then an IT industry analysts. As a product manager, to pick on one particular point, we had very cursory competitive information. We had some expensive subscriptions to analysts who essentially acted as a clearinghouse for data sheets that companies couldn't get from each other directly. But it tended to be very shallow and out-of-date.

Certainly not everything is on the web with or without paywalls. And, as when I was doing software development at night pre-web, I could just have a library of books. But for a lot of things, you made do with taking longer, being more shallow, and making more mistakes.
The course does cover LiveView - see e.g. lessons 38, 45, 49.

The bigger downside is nuisance tripping because the breaker doesn't like electrical noise emitted by some device or another in your house. I don't have any AFCIs but I've heard it's pretty common.

You'd rather have one circuit go out instead of the whole house, and if all you have is the one AFCI breaker you're going to have a much harder time identifying what device(s) is the culprit.
It sounds like they are paying out the existing PTO banks, so that wouldn't be a very good strategy if so.
Statement of objections issued against Google’s data processing terms
Oops sorry, somehow I missed it.
Maybe I am using my phone wrong, but probably the largest bandwidth usage on my phone is watching 1080p youtube, which is.... probably no more than 20mbit/s? Spotify occasionally takes more than 2 seconds to load a podcast, and sending emails with 10mb attachments can take upwards of 3 seconds. I don't personally see the utility in having a 100mbit connection on my phone. Wifi is pretty ubiquitous if I need it for my laptop at faster speeds than that, generally wifi is available either for free, or for a few bucks (on an airplane).

AFCIs aren't meant to protect against electrocution, just sparking which leads to a fire.

In fairness, the FAA was deep in bed with Boeing until very recently and had to be publically embarrassed by Trump of all individuals to get them to clean up their act.

> If `course.has_finished` is a property of the course, why would you want to have a separate function outside of the class?

Because one should avoid passing Django models around. It leads to bad design. Have a selector or something that uses the ORM, but exposes some dataclass or pydantic model instead, and put the logic there.

> What is it ultimately used for?

Quite often, it seems, they ask to build your profile to sell to advertisers. As much as it would be great for everyone to be treated equally, our genders do affect the crap that we buy and advertisers often care about it.

But more broadly, finding trends/patterns really does come down to being able to sort people into different buckets. Especially now, with the push towards ML, you never know which feature will turn out to be significant, so the strategy ends up being to collect as much data as possible and let computers churn through it looking for patterns.

It would be tempting to ascribe a gender-specific motive to the collection of gender data just based on the significance that we feel towards gender. But I'm not sure those collecting it have those motivations. They're just sucking in everything that they can get away with in the hopes that some of it will prove valuable.

It's kinda obvious, given how you do automated keyword submissions. These include videos about Ruby gems involving shiny rocks rather than programming, such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29754076

Keyword stuffing for an incubation period followed by propaganda is an extremely shit-tier information warfare tactic. If you want to do a fascism at least put some effort into it.
It was very interesting to me that South Korea is a high trust society in terms of crime (cash boxes left unattended, bicycles unlocked, people feel safe to walk the streets alone late at night), however it is very tribal and low trust in terms of providing assistance (less help provided to strangers in the streets compared to the US.. I've had to step in multiple times as I noticed that local Koreans were not helping). Maybe it's a big city thing (above experiences were in Seoul).

That's putting it a bit mildly from what I recall the last time I used them. They work on LE if you don't color too far outside the lines, but otherwise I would describe their state as "almost completely broken".

Field ordering being endian dependent, while historically how things are done with bitfields, seems questionable to me anyways.
This is an excellent point. Thanks for the links. I will note that the first says I'm normal even though I sometimes feel like "life is not worth living" and my condition has definitely had a significant negative effect on my productivity. Life-long and probably life-changing.

As an N=1 report, I've been taking the Zembrin supplement (per the Astral Codex guy) for about a year, and it does _seem_ to knock out the sadness component. But this leaves the "unproductive" component, which is sometimes just a small drag, and at other times leaves me almost catatonic. Alcohol mostly fixes that, but has other problems, and I've lately quit.

No specific advice other than to just keep reading and experimenting. And if you're in a bad life situation, try to get out of it.
They can use overnight instruments, and its still pretty much impossible for there to be a bank run.

But it begs the question, is Tether meant to be a viable stablecoin, or is it a fractional reserve piggy bank for the Tether owners to earn interest from?

Clearly they're running it like the latter. Why would the crypto industry consolidate on something scammy like that?
This is only true in high cost states.
In most states, it's 10-15 a ft plus some minimum cost that is like 1500 bucks for trenching setup. Maybe 15-20 in the worst case.

To redo my service to single phase 800 amps, which required a new transformer on a pole, new commercial panel, 100 feet of large underground drop (parallel MCM 600), etc, georgia power + electrician total cost was 10k.

If i had wanted to drag 3 phase power to my shop, which was a mile away, they would charge 10 bucks a foot, total cost 55k.

(I convert the large single phase instead with a digital 3-phase converter)

PGE/California electricians is particularly horrible about costing - i've seen combined costs (IE between PGE + electrician) of like 15k for panel upgrades that require 10 feet of trenching

I think the 100's of intelligent sophisticated investors that influence the price of the market didn't suddenly start to understand the fundamentals of companies they didn't before because of a change in interest rates.

It makes much more sense they just plugged in a higher discount rate to their models.

It's just a way for them to reduce the amount of PTO people take. Basically if you give people a set amount of PTO they will take it all, but if you tell someone they have "unlimited PTO", they will almost certainly take less.
No surprise that it inspired Parker Lewis Can't Lose. I guess people like the type.
I am so opposed to these type of programs. All they do is benefit the company through removal of a liability in terms of PTO hours from the company books. The workers are very likely to face social pressures when taking time off when it's viewed as an approval bestowed by management and not an entitlement inherent to the agreement when you started working. I don't have any hard data to back this up, but my personal intuition suggests this will result in companies saving money because workers will take less time off and won't get paid out for remaining balances when they quit. This is a very worker-unfriendly policy and in a just system would be illegal.

> That's the thing - you're not. Once engaged, Mercedes takes liability, so you're no longer responsible.

Legally (though surely to be tested in court).

Morally though, I'd say the driver is still responsible if they kill someone. It doesn't feel right to say "Oh well, it's Mercedes' fault, shrug" after your car with you in it drives over someone else.
No mention of AppLocker and SRP surprised me. Aren't they effective anymore?
I can't think of anything more "political views" than tax policy. Literally any opinion on the matter is inherently political.

And no I don't support it, it is regressive. Just another rhetorical trap for the rich and powerful to push tax burdens onto the poor. It's "simplicity" a slight of hand to further the demonization of the IRS.

Does tax code need cleaning up, YES. It has caught up in a "starve the beast" strategy for decades. Make the tax codes too complicated for individuals to actually comply with, under-fund and hobble the IRS but mandate them such that they can only practically hound poor people and can't audit the rich.

No political party has incentive to make anything but superficial progress in pursuit of popular goals and continue to move actual policy in support of the rich and powerful regardless of which political party has power.

Note the somewhat disingenuous performance claim:

The reimplementation itself is not 1.5x to 18x as fast as the C one. It is calling from Swift that is faster.

Yes, they correct in the parenthesis, but that's not how parenthetical expressions work:

A parenthetical expression is extra information added to a sentence or question that clarifies, explains, or adds information without changing the basic meaning. Think of it as an aside providing readers with helpful information that they don’t absolutely have to have, but that is helpful to them.

https://grammar.yourdictionary.com/style-and-usage/parenthet...

So basically, they are fixing the problem they've been having with bridging performance, which of course is due purely to them mis-designing Swift in such a way that it doesn't bridge well with all the existing code they have.
Yosys / project Trellis and nextpnr are amazing - I've played with them using an IceSugar-Pro board (which despite its name has an ECP5-25 FPGA) - but there's also an experimental branch for Xilinx 7-series devices now - Project X-ray, with an even more experimental branch of that targetting the Kintex7-325 FPGA on one of the QMTech (AliExpress) boards. That's of particular interest since that FPGA is large / high-end enough not to be supported by the free version of Vivado!

Gut feeling and general tone. I'm Gen Z and the way people talk on this forum is tonally and syntactically different from my cohort.

Also, down the grapevine at least, most YC people don't really use HN anymore - they have their own private Founder Board that they prefer perusing now.

Why did this get removed from the front page so quickly?
It's not nice, it's a legal requirement and precisely why they're doing it. They almost certainly are looking to remove that financial liability going forward, and have the added benefit of having people on "unlimited" vacation take less vacation than those that otherwise earn it over time.
