That's an honest mistake. There are several links floating around in the HN parent thread and quotes without attribution. I mistakenly thought we were talking about this man linked above: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Execution_of_Quintin_Jones

Turns out we're actually talking about this fine gentleman?

I was mildly sympathetic to the first guy, who only killed his great aunt. This guy killed two young prostitutes, one pregnant, the other 16 years old. Confessed to the crimes, the. Spent 20 years trying to get off on a technicality. Nice guy. Really going to take his last words at face value.

It would have been more interesting to learn about someone with an unusual background (black catholic texan) and whether that played a role in his story, but it's an incidental aside to my argument about catholicism. Those arguments stand. Do me the honor of reading them.

Thanks for correcting my mistake, though. This guy is even more suspicious in his appeals to catholicism and his lack of public repentance. His unmentioned victims even more glaring tells than an old dead aunt. Not as curious, not a rarity, but even more "damning".

To your point, I do know one important thing about this person: He was executed for a capital crime. That's a pretty significant fact. I'm not obligated to learn much more about him to make assumptions about the truth value of his last words. I may be wrong in my suspicions, but my point was that I don't have to go digging into the details of every inmate's case to be suspicious of their claims. It's the sensible default stance. All liars say true things.

If you don't want to address the psychological substance of my argument that's your prerogative but nothing about googling a specific felon is going to change a justified bias against taking their claims at face value. Innocent until proven guilty, ok. Presumed innocent after found guilty? No way.
What would be a fair amount?
I literally posted the links to the AOT Python compiler and to the C++ interpreter.

That would be important in high-school debate club. In the real world, most people don't care about obscure edge cases and pedantry. In the industry vernacular, Python is an "interpreted language" and C++ is a "compiled language". Arguing against that in anything other than a highly (highly!) specialized context is just lighting candles in the wind.
I'm 50 and it's harder for me to rapidly process input and big "systems" like I used to. I suspect this is more due to having kids and increased responsibilities than age.

Here's what I did and it seems to help tremendously:

1. Get plenty of sleep.

2. Get fit. As part of this, get your weight down to a health level.

3. Eat right.

4. Get your weight down to a healthy level. I don't know if it's related to circulation or respiratory or what, but my body/mind function better when my body weight is lean.

5. Reduce inputs, such as podcasts, HN, Reddit, etc. Don't stop entirely, but take occasional days or weeks off from one or all of the above.

6. Spend more time doing nothing, being bored, in thought, like we did before the Internet.

7. Be at peace and work on the top 6 the best you can, and forgive yourself when you can't, and get back on track ASAP.

You will fall off the wagon on your goals. Recognize it when you do and immediately forgive yourself and get back on track. Immediately.

If the schema is fixed, using proto buffers will greatly reduce the length required.
There's a kind of language creep throughout all of these discussions. When people are no longer hungry, we start talking about the "food insecure" in the same terms. Nobody ever seems to notice that we went from "hungry" to "food insecure" or even what "food insecure" is supposed to mean (although I'm sure it has some academic definition). What I do know is that when I was briefly on food stamps my food budget doubled and I wasn't ever anywhere near going hungry on the prior budget, so it's really hard to know what I'm supposed to take away from these designations.
No, most of us on this forum aren't.

If anything i would assume we have a disproportionately high number of people totally unaffected by the last three years.
I see DallE as producing similar 'regression to the mean' results. That is, no originality at all, just some center-of-the-road collage of what it's seen. It may product art, but it is derivative art.

Yeah, if you’re using managed services within AWS you need a relay host. It doesn’t need to punch a hole to the outside world (like a bastion host) but it still needs some manner to allow tailscale (an ec2 box) to route to those services.

SSM is a cleaner choice on AWS.
Love this story. I did something similar with a website. Previous owner took it down, bought the domain from him and it organically grew to over 1m users per month with the same exact functionality.

I wouldn't discount your ability to bring this back to market. Would consult a lawyer to see what implications taking over the branding and APIs have. But clearly this has a big market.
"I struggle to hold more than about 2 levels of this call stack in my head. By the time I'm down in the weeds I've forgotten what I'm doing, what the purpose of the actual API call is."

It helped me immensely.

I am in my late 40s and as another commenter mentioned this could be because we have more responsibilities and not necessarily cognitive decline.
Cynically, one might think the term “Living Wage” was selected to intentionally be confusing and result in drastic-sounding headlines like the above. Certainly they could have picked a much more descriptive name, but I suppose it wouldn’t have the emotional impact that this one apparently does.
Living wage is defined.

"The living wage model is a ‘step up’ from poverty as measured by the poverty thresholds but it is a small ‘step up’, one that accounts for only the basic needs of a family. The living wage model does not allow for what many consider the basic necessities enjoyed by many Americans. It does not budget funds for pre-prepared meals or those eaten in restaurants. It does not include money for unpaid vacations or holidays. Nor does it provide money income to cover unexpected expenses such as a sudden illness, a major car repair, or the purchase of a household appliance such as a refrigerator. Lastly, it does not provide a financial means for planning for the future through savings and investment or for the purchase of capital assets (e.g. provisions for retirement or home purchases)."

Basically: "The living wage is the basic income standard that, if met, draws a very fine line between the financial independence of the working poor and the need to seek out public assistance or suffer consistent and severe housing and food insecurity."

In addition: "In light of this fact, the living wage is perhaps better defined as a minimum subsistence wage for persons living in the United States."

...you didn't read it, and you are merely complaining about the name of a rose.
> The issue with these assessments of living wage in NY is that , if you're poor and desperate, there are many ways to "live" that, while not particularly desirable to most people, are certainly available.

I came here to say this is merely evidence that a lot of people are willing to put up with a lot of BS to live in NYC. If it wasn't "worth it" to them - for whatever reasons that may be - they'd be living elsewhere.
Not really. I mean if you want to have a stupendously high bar of confidence, and continually raise it so that no action is ever necessary or possible, then yes you need to spend many more years to understand every nuanced economic detail.

For me idk, I've lived a lot of my life in poverty and on the edge of it, and large swathes of my social and family communities still do. I don't need more proof. It's very obvious that most workers are not compensated adequately and this data confirms it unless you really really don't want it to.
I'd even go so far to say this ask is a sign of ill health of the company. Requiring everyone to do what are essentially marketing activities is a red flag imo. If the products and services aren't connecting with the market such that customers or potential customers aren't independently posting about it, that's a problem. Or if the product isn't discoverable via traditional methods, that's another problem.

Of course you do. That's like saying that you don't end up $100 in debt by having a deficit of $1 a day.
I agree with there’s a middle ground, especially depending on what level you are in the stack. However, I would consider those examples you gave to be descriptive and certainly not overly cutesy or fun.
I have heard the patent theory, but as an alternative:

Fascinatingly, the article does not mention folks with asian ethnicity, nor does the tool allow you to break out race granularly. The Filter by Race-Ethnicity only allows you to choose "White Worker" and "Worker of Color"
As with all economic metrics, it's only relevant in context. If you define a living wage standard that others agree is useful - it's useful to understand what portion of your population fits this category. Alternately, it's useful to assess a static standard over time to see if equality problems are getting worse or better.

Having seen both sides of this equation, It's increasingly unclear to me whether wealth inequality has crossed the takeoff threshold where outcomes no longer correlate with Merit. Observationally, I encounter many in high status fields who got their due to familial wealth + guidance on pathway. I worry that we are seeing more people who are wealthy because their parents were wealthy, potentially to the point where labor is no longer required beyond perception maintenance.

Such an arrangement is fundamentally anti-productive to the economy. It removes capital from skilled individuals to support leisure. It reshapes the economy to support the leisurely whims of a few individuals. I don't think its a coincidence that as wages and inflation rose GDP growth rose. It's a reallocation of capital from unproductive sectors to productive sectors.
None of takes away the need for tcpdump, strace, core dumps, etc. Surprisingly much troubleshooting needs to be done in production. I have yet to see views of the contrary survive contact with the real world.

The idea of expiring ssh keys seems completely reasonable, but it's also a good idea to have enough centralized access control to be able to actually give someone temporary access allocations. Key validity is evaluated locally, against system time.
I think it's still crazy that in 2022 the fact that some stupid people can be offended by that have that much importance.

You might try lions mane, a mushroom that noticeably boosts my mental clarity.

Also, being older we have a lot more on our mind. So methods to help organize and focus are more useful than ever to me now. Take notes, keep logs, etc.
When I was in 8th grade in 2007 our history book ended with a chapter on 9/11. History is the past and even history forums tend to say anything more than a generation ago is history.
I (obviously) lack the data to back up GP's assertion, but anecdotally I've seen very similar things happen in South Brooklyn: the husband working a low-paying blue collar job on the books, while the wife worked at a nail salon off the books; or the husband taking in an NYPD pension while working security off the books, getting paid in cash. In both instances, the families rented out the other units in their buildings, also accepting rent payments in cash (and not reporting them).
This looks cool, but hopefully does not run afoul of Tableau's (and now Salesforce's) many patents in that space.

IIRC part of the reason certain features couldn't make it into Microsoft's PowerBI was because of those.
100%. I was at a company and they kept renaming the internal name to match the marketing name. We had 3 names for some older tech and 2 names for the less than a year old service. I strongly recommended that we should adopt the original name as a "codename" and use it for code and internal technical documents.

Marketing should absolutely have full control over the user visible name. But technology has different needs where a "codename" is a much better match. Having two names is generally only a tiny bit confusing.

I have also yet to see a codebase rename that completes before the product name changes again. You always just end up with a confusing slew of N names in the codebase if you try to rename.

NYC, by virtue of being relatively compact and with high population density, of course requires fewer dollars per capita to provide the same services as a spread-out suburban enclave. But it doesn't take in less money than that suburb. It takes in significantly more.

The entire project looks like the result of a high school student's first Instructables. It's hilariously under-engineered and it's clear that these folks had absolutely no idea of how to build a product, IoT or otherwise.

I like to practice writing, so as to hone that skill. It's a purely selfish exercise, crafting something which I find clever.

Let me get this straight: your point is that some people run off-the-book businesses, and that explains the severe poverty and lack of living wage?

> The "living" in the term Living Wage is about being about to actually live a life, not just survive it.

A bit dramatic? We are well last the survival aspect of living standards. No one is out in the weeds living off the land and wildlife and building shelters unless they absolutely want to.

There is ample food for anyone that wants it and shelter abounds. There’s a lot of help if you not able to do it on your own.

But after that it’s up to you. The government isn’t going to manage your life. You need to be an active participant in your own life.
The short answer is "probably". It depends on what you are doing, how you're doing it etc. But I think you might be looking for something like this? https://openziti.github.io/docs/core-concepts/security/authe...

Also we have already support 3rd party CAs too. It's a complex topic though so "it depends" is probably the best answer.
From my experiences living in NYC, this seems directionally correct and very difficult to measure.

Tack on that cost of living in NYC varies wildly depending on rent-stabilized and rent-controlled apartment arrangements (rent control is more strict than rent stabilization, rent stabilization is more common than rent control). There are millions of New Yorkers living in rent-stabilized apartments, and they might earn enough to live in their current pad but not be able to move somewhere else at market rate.

Similarly, property values have skyrocketed, so people living in homes they bought decades ago might be comfortable, while earning a wage that is technically not "living" by the standards of thhis academic research.
That's fair, but your post might have been more prescriptive than you intended. Your wording insinuates that New York doesn't actually have a problem with incomes relative to cost of living because most people make up for that through an informal economy. There is ambiguity, granted, but on the surface that looks like a massive stretch. The figure might be impacted, but for it to be completely eclipsed is another order of magnitude entirely.

42 and I feel the same.
If I dig more into what led to this, I can identify two events:

1. Covid. My number came up in September 2022. The mental fog is real and is not what generally people think it is. For me it surfaced as diminished short term memory (example, write down a phone number you see one a website. Before covid, it’d take one or two looks. After covid 3-4 looks back and forth. Hand in hand with this - affected executive functioning. In other words, you just feel dumber lol

2. Burn out. It starts with lack of energy, low executive functioning and progresses into depression and/or anxiety. If this applies to you - get help. Make changes. This one you can fix.

Somewhat related, 41 was the age I realized I don’t want to drink again. Some people have this moment earlier, some never. 1.5years later, the feeling is freeing and awesome. I was not a heavy drinker before but lately I was less and less enjoyable with more hangover (and irritability) the next day.
I'm a native NYer, and the GP's comment is largely correct: tax fraud and "informal" (meaning under-the-table) pay is more or less the norm for broad swathes of the city's service and contracting industries.

Every job I ever had in high school was paid under the table, and this is true for my family members as well. It's also normal to not pay sales tax in the city at smaller cafes and every bodega; this is normally passed off as a "cash discount," but it's conspicuously 8.875% rather than the normal credit processing fee.

All that being said: this doesn't necessarily contradict the claim that large numbers of New Yorkers aren't making a living wage. Under-the-table agreements enable wage suppression/theft and make it more difficult for the city to use its labor laws to protect workers.
I had unlimited energy till about 40 and then I hit some sort of cliff. This coincided with covid and being indoors using high velocity media like reddit/insta. I am not sure how much is age and how much is habits that caused this.
You mean the issue they banned him from? ;-)
I think RPi in this thing says it all. It screams it was built by somebody that does not know how to develop a physical product for mass market.

There are only three parts in this product that should have any significant cost to them:

* the display itself,

* the wooden enclosure,

* the packaging the product comes in,

If there are switches, potentiometers or encoders I am really partial to well working ones and these are not so cheap. It is nice to have but at least they make the product feel more expensive so it is not a total waste.

Everything else can be done dirt cheap. I don't think chinese are the best way to learn product design but they are pretty darn good at saving every last penny (or yuan in their case). I found it illuminating to study some of the devices of chinese origin (as opposed to ones that are only manufactured in China).
I have no idea what you're talking about but Discord has got to be one of the most pleasant bot development experiences that exists. Their shit is really well architected and their API handles so much lifting for you.

This is also how I go about it in Doom Emacs. I guess either way solves the same problem, just differently.
Nutritionism is a "science" with virtually no reproduciblity/replication. Its generally impossible to properly test diets and such.

There's a tremendous history of nutrition science being published with intentional bias. Only in 2005 when you must now declare any conflicts of interest have we suddenly had huge quiet zones. Evil things in our diets in 2004 suddenly not anymore.

No one is saying that jobs should be "treated as sacrosanct as lives". The argument put forward by waylandsmithers is about responsibility and accountability. If we make sea captains legally accountable for the lives they are charged with, why don't we make CEOs accountable for the livelihoods they are responsible for (i.e. that they make decisions about)?
From just reading the TOC, and the first bit, this looks great. Like the author, I have been into Common Lisp “forever.” I do sometimes feel conflicted when I can get something done in Python much faster because I can find a library that solves the problem I am working on. Probably my most honest advice to people is that Common Lisp is very good for research programming, but for many use cases other programming languages are better.
Yes, but there'd still be something more than conjecture and a single anecdote.

When I use to eat sugar like a madman, I use to feel just like you, so perhaps there could be other factors impacting your mental sharpness.

I have a few questions for you to answer to yourself:

1 - How fit are you? (Cardio and strength)
2 - How is your sleep?
3 - How often do you practice programming / play with greenfield software projects outside of work?

There could be more questions, I am not a specialist, but I have felt just like you described when I use to eat more sugar-based food than I was supposed to.
From what I have read with these models it is in-fact the data that can be the most useful piece of the puzzle.
