Ok, so the way Irish pensions work (which is the topic here):

1. You may put an age related maximum percentage of your income into the pension fund (10% up to 30 years, 5% increase every 5 years thereafter). This is invested by a registered pension fund on your behalf. It is exempt from capital gains tax, deemed disposal on index funds, or other types of taxes that normally apply to investments.

2. Your employer may match an amount up to your contribution. Most employers in the tech sector will offer between matching the first 5% to first 10%. While this is income from your employer, to you, it is not considered for income tax purposes.

3. You are normally not allowed withdraw any of this prior to age 50.

4. _However_, if you leave a job with an employer managed pension within 2 years, you can instead refund your entire contributions and either keep them or invest them in your new pension scheme. This is to avoid people having to manage N number of pension schemes from however many former employers. If you choose to do this however, the tax-free status of the employer contributions vanishes. So they get refunded to your employer, and if your employer wanted to give them direct to you, that would be taxable income. Most employers won't want to bother with the paperwork for this.

5. When you draw down your pension, you may pay income tax on the payouts if your pension payouts exceed the tax-free cutoff.
I'm guessing the people who supposedly "idolize free markets" yet clearly do not based on their actions.
Unfortunately I don't agree. I say unfortunately because I personally believe the knowledge model underlying a relational database system is a beautiful and fundamentally superior method of information management.

But I also have traveled enough roads in this industry to know that heterogeneity of approaches ends up defining actual practice -- for better and for worse -- and the "universality" of fopen/fread/fwrite/fclose of blobs of data is going to be hard to move away from.

I'd say that the only way that the "database" takes over the filesystem is by basically dropping to the lowest common denominator and becoming more like a filesystem; basically a key-value store. Throwing away the benefits of what a good database offers. Mainstream databases (in the form of SQL) only do a subset of what's possible with the relational model that Date&Codd laid out decades ago. I fear a move into a lower level of the stack would only worsen this.

In fact I think the trend is kind of going the other way. Filesystems are slowly adopting more and more of the storage techniques that came out of DB research, but using them for the fairly anemic storage Unix FS storage model. Because that's basically what the industry is asking for.

Further, I think there remains a poverty of knowledge about databases generally in the industry. I don't have a CS degree myself, but almost everyone I know (outside of my current employer) who does have one has said some variant of this to me: "I didn't take any/many DB classes in school." Knowledge of the relational data model is weak/thin in our industry (the low point being the "NoSQL" wave a decade ago). And within CS academia, it seems that R&D in this field is mostly centred around Europe (with the notable exception in North America being the excellent programme @ CMU.)

It would be so interesting to get more details about the initial compromise. What was the engineer trying to do that ended up with downloading PTX-Player.dmg and (probably) the PTX.app installed in /Applications? Was it targeted directly at CircleCI or is this some generic info stealer? What AV / endpoint security solution were they using? Did it pass the built-in macOS protections (gatekeeper, xprotect, etc)? Public VirusTotal seems to know nothing about that hash.
Try 119% margin. It costs Apple $501 to make an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and the company sells it at a base price of $1099. But that is iPhone, not Mac. Apple's net profit margin as of September 30, 2022 is 25.31%, and that is due to their razor thin margins selling Macintosh hardware.
It's useful to test explanations on people unfamiliar with it. So in this spirit, I want to share: the sentence didn't explain it to me.

After watching3Blue1Brown's video, I get it. So I can share with you what confused me:

It's this part of the sentence: "average a bunch of points along that path". I know what averaging it, but I don't know what averaging "along a path" means. Also I was (wrongly) expecting the output of this function to be a real number - I just expect "energy" to be a number. Instead, here what we're doing is averaging complex numbers so the output is a complex number. What a complex energy means is left as an exercise to the reader.

Here's my suggestion for a sentence that would have worked better for me:

"To find the energy at a particular frequency, spin your signal around a circle at that frequency, and find the center of mass of the plot."

Presumably then we have to take the distance from the origin to get an amount of energy.
I don’t. I assume all devices are potentially compromised and I shift my risk to others as much as possible - credit card fraud protection, etc.
Yeah you can test those systems in isolation though. For the flywheel system it had to be tested under real production load, basically flipping the giant switch to take the whole DC off the grid power.

What works for me is learning a single concept in many different ways. A textbook, a youtube video, a friend explaining it to me... Each next source of material (however casual or formal it is) is more likely make the concept "click", or allow me to understand the concept more efficiently.

To that extent, this blog post seems valuable to me. The author is using a language and colors to convey an intuition that I have not precisely seen before.
I've just clicked through some repositories, looks good to me.

could wine ever be incorporated into the default os as another application, like libreoffice or firefox is standard? that would put wine in the hands of more people and its not like you are forced to use it, it would be just a package among dozens that are shipped by default.

something like mint so that a movice windows migrant would ber told to "find a linux version of the software from the software repo or just install the windows version as you would on windows and get going?

steam has done a lot of work around gaming and the pace with which wine/proton/Ge and others are working, gaming is slowly becoming more and more real.

bringing it as a default install would further reduce this problem of "friction"
I’ve been a software dev for about 15 years, and did the assessment about 2 years ago.

I got into software because it was the single thing I cared about that could earn me money. I really had no idea what I was doing and constantly went from frying pans into fires, learning what I needed in a frantic race to avoid being “found out”, so to speak. The last 7 or 8 years has been a lot better now that my foundations are better and I have a bit more confidence. My career would definitely benefit from more confidence.

> the kind of intelligence it takes to do software dev

This is true, but I suppose at the time I didn’t believe I was actually doing it. I’d endlessly compare myself to genius-level developers, or simply others with skills I didn’t have. If someone at work could do something better than I could, well, it was obviously because I’m incompetent. How could I be 10 years in and this person who’s 5 years in understands debugging and testing so comprehensively? Man, everyone’s going to realize I’m a fraud soon. I better cram in testing and debugging research this week.

The IQ definitely did come as a surprise in spite of that. I can mechanically shovel software knowledge into my brain, but I don’t do anything novel or interesting with it. I write okay software, but it’s largely just a feat of mimicking the work of intelligent people. I can make the thing that makes the company money, but I can’t make a thing that others would mimic as I do.

As I mentioned in another comment though, a lot of this was me being insecure, indulging that to excess, and being quite neurotic about it to the point that I was clearly overlooking significant advantages I had over others who truly did and still do experience disadvantages due to lower intelligence. That was a well deserved blow to my ego, to realize I was so self absorbed as to ignore values I believed were important to me. I didn’t think I was like that, but in fact I was — extremely so — for decades.

If I can live comfortably with a job in software, why am I spending time feeling sorry for myself while other people, some I know personally, live with less because society values their minds less?

I suppose though that the reason I didn’t want to see the IQ score is because I suspect it was too late in life for me to respond in a meaningful way that would be aligned with my values. I have the sense that I squandered something. Rather than feel sorry for myself about it, I’ll do my best to turn things around.
You could handle that with an audit log (there's some standard ways to do this in SQL databases). And then expose that in the admin interface via the low code tools (which have SQL-to-UI builders).

Ask HN: Today's Equivalent of Founders at Work?
I loved the book Founders at Work when it came out in 2007. Is there an equivalent today with more recent stories and interviews? I know there are plenty of one-off interviews with founders all over the place but I wonder if there's a resource that collects them in one convenient place.

The problem happens over time when both properties begin to fail after changes are made to the system by people unfamiliar with the system, and make worse when sudden failures are addressed by the same people, which creates a feedback loop of failures. Eventually the system becomes unusable. Generally companies don't lay off huge swatches of people randomly, so this kind of bit rot is fairly rare.

My last employer one day had virtually every system fail in the world at the same time due to a hidden dependency on some routing in a single data center; it took 8 hours to restart all the systems since that had not happened before. It was a fun slack to follow. There was a lot of institutional knowledge that was able to get everything working again. Imagine this kind of issue with people having no idea how things work...

As with anything, there needs to be some evidence to believe something, and if there’s evidence, you can follow that to figure out if it’s real or just anomalous.

Generally, it’s a bad idea to believe things without evidence, so I guess you can trust your computer isn’t compromised the same way you can trust no unicorns exist; there’s not any credible evidence to suggest it.
Can we penalize sites that provide misleading headlines? I’m so sick of sites twisting the facts like this, if we could build a list of sites that don’t manipulate the facts and just present things straight I would love it.

I was exactly how you described in high school. I had a group of 5-10 friends that we would hang out together but I was way more comfortable myself hanging out just with 1/2 at a time.

Then I immigrated to the US. I realized that with my current personality it would be hard to make friends. Im not usually outgoing/funny etc..

So I literally tried to copy how some of my more outgoing friends would act. It sounds weird to describe but I think it helped me. You don’t lose yourself completely but if you’re actively aware of how you would normally act, its not that difficult to think “what would X do” and just do that. And just keep doing iterations of that until this becomes normal.

I think emulating friends helps cause we’re naturally not good at this, so this helps get in the reps. Then after a while its just you

Most of problem for me were related to anxiety, being in a new country made it even more difficult.
Open-source is de facto closed source if you don't build your own stuff (and know how to debug it). That's the status most OSS users are in, I suspect. I run Linux but I've never compiled a kernel and I've never run a native debugger. It's nice that I could, but this is just a platitude.

The thing is, if you design your input and output filter correctly then any sampled signal will be indistinguishable from the analogue source passed through the same set of lowpass filters.

It does not take a lot of computing power, but it does take a couple of opamps.
Understanding monads isn't particularly useful unless you also understand functors, which are a relatively much easier concept to understand long-term. They're really just functors with a few extra rules that make them a bit more useful.

> The concept of banning one tech or another in this way is backwards thinking and stems from ignorance of the power and beauty of market economics.

This is a one-sided view of markets. One can both recognize the power of the market which can be a force for both great good and extreme evil. You may be right that banning extant technology is not the best approach to dealing with the failings of government and the market (which cannot ever be cleanly separated) but that doesn't mean that it is backward thinking to consider that perhaps we might be better off if we eliminated or transitioned to a different technology.
Also, even if they weren't making money from such users, if this is a common experience, the opportunity to make money from them with advanced warning to switch to the official client existed but has now been lost.

Nothing hurts some Californians' feelings than the simple fact that the rest of the nation no longer looks to them for guidance.

Yes, California is still big. But it's no longer a leader. The idea "but California did this" is no longer an argument in favor of something. It's often an argument against doing something.

I am sorry if this triggers you, but it's reality.
> our modelling suggests have the capacity to track faces from as far as 200 metres away (or up to 2 blocks).

Does anyone know how true this is? I watched the video and it's pretty convincing but compared to the security footage so often seen in the news this seems like it would be insanely high resolution.
> Most people do not accept that most Guantánamo detainees have been/are being held without ever being charged or tried.

> you only require a critical mass of the total addressable market to stick to it for it to remain effective.

I think that's backwards. Instead, for it's still to be practical to buy new ICE cars in states where they are legal you just need those states to cover enough population that it's worth it for some manufacturer to keep producing the cars. I would expect that to happen even if we were only talking about 5% of the population living in those states if those states continue to have strong demand for ICE vehicles (and so the remaining manufacturer could sell a lot of whatever they kept producing).

Their tax-exempt status is conditional on the pension fund being in action for at least two years. If they're given to you without that, they're no longer tax-exempt pension contributions but employee income which has tax implications for both employee and employer.
It's an answer to the parent, which specifically says...

So to me that would be a group of people I'd readily label as hypocrites, self-dealing populists or straight up liars.

No. The problem is not whether X has a job or not. The problem is why X was forced to lose their home. In this day and age you can still lose your home even if you are juggling multiple jobs.

For me, I had a true programmer enlightenment moment after reading "Functional JavaScript" by Michael Fogus. Seriously, my whole career changed after that and I was in much greater control over my code and everything got simpler. People always talk about books changing their lives and this really changed mine!

The other one for me was when I started reading OSS codebases on Github. Meaning, if I needed to use a library, I would read the source first. That brought me a lot of confidence and allowed me to see how others put things together.

$5M for each longtime Black resident? S.F. reparations plan to consider
It's been over 20 years. Let 'em go or kill 'em, and close the base. And never do anything like this again.

There is no best outcome, only least worst outcome, at this point.

EDIT: and for the downvoters, you realize that if we do nothing they will spend the rest of their lives in prison without a trial, right? And worse, the base will remain open and available for more torture.
I would like to thank Elon for helping me to kick of my doom scrolling Twitter addiction.

My usage has been dropping perceptibly over the last 3 months as my feed has gotten stale however now that my Twitter client hasn't had any new tweets in the last 3 days I may finally be able to kick the habit for good.
I agree that a definitive measure of battery health is not available (in two senses: the ones available are not conclusive and they are easily tampered with).

I disagree that the batteries are not serviceable. My car has had a module replacement which served to restore battery and vehicle
capacity after a single module (mostly) failed. That was done at a dealer under warranty, but there are many aftermarket suppliers capable of doing the same (and I’d have DIY’d it in my driveway if it wasn’t covered under warranty).

It’s truly absurd to argue that banks have no incentive to limit lending to make sure they get paid back. The 2008 crisis proves no such thing. Banks simply made a lot of bad bets.
