The rabbit hole of wrongful convictions goes deep but long story short there are a number of reasons, most of which is "tunnel vision", that is when a prosecutor or detective gets a lead, they will often ignore other evidence in favor of that lead. It's less about dirty prosecutors and more about how psychology and our brains work. I would highly suggest listening to a couple of episodes of Wrongful Conviction with Jason Flom[1] and check out the Innocence Project[2], both are fantastic for getting into the world of wrongful convictions.

You can take vacation or save some money before quitting.

I'm guessing tax preparation companies don't make a lot of money off those filers anyways. But if you start taking away the more expensive customers, i.e. the business owners, investors, etc... then it becomes a problem. Lobbying basically.

This post talks about the durable execution systems, which include Azure Durable Functions, Amazon SWF, Uber Cadence, Infinitic, and Temporal.

Durable execution systems run our code in a way that persists each step the code takes. If the process or container running the code dies, the code automatically continues running in another process with all state intact, including call stack and local variables.

Durable execution makes it trivial or unnecessary to implement distributed systems patterns like event-driven architecture, task queues, sagas, circuit breakers, and transactional outboxes. It’s programming on a higher level of abstraction, where you don’t have to be concerned about transient failures like server crashes or network issues.
In any algorithm, you see temporary data structures, ranging from string variables to abstract data types(say, arrays, queues, stacks, priority queues, etc). So you have to remember which to use in what kind of problem solving: in depth first search, the temp one is a stack; in breadth first search, the temp one is a queue.

Similarly, in some set of problems, you need to remember tricks wrt swapping members in a structure and start solving the problem again.

Wherever you have troubles, jot down and refocus on those problems after a month. It’s like spaced repetition. Spaced repetition is not necessary if you are involved with such projects all the time, like the way library writers do.

I'm a similar late-bloomer who had to work my way into a tech job the hard way. No college degree, etc. Yes, it's possible - though it's quite hard. My advice would be to ask around and isolate the first set of skills needed to get a job that you would find interesting. QA is a great place to get started and probably a faster track into engineering than Support or Sales, but get in where you fit it and survive. Oh, and go on LOTS of interviews. As many as you can. I got rejected loads of times and I got my first job in QA with 0 experience but once I had a foot in the door of the industry, I had something to build on.
I filtered companies down to places where I felt I had a good chance of success, and applied to jobs within my comfort zone - this was a very biased sample. I don't think this generalizes unfortunately

This is a weird, right-wing, conspiracy-theoretic tabloid site that doesn't belong on HN. I'm sure the talk was bad (all of Davos is bad), but if it's important, somebody credible covered it somewhere else.
I tried the fillable forms in previous years. They certainly aren’t easy and don’t make you confident you are filing an accurate form. Paying $50-100 to save a few hours and a lot of worrying is well worth it to me, even if along the way I bemoan the complexity and inaccessibility of the current tax system.

Indeed, pretty much all such cases of individuals being prosecuted that I can think of are ones where the act is illegal regardless of it taking place as part of the company, i.e. not a concept that purely relates to corporations and has no direct equivalent in the personal sphere.

You can also just draw the line to "how would you argue in court that someone wasn't trying to maximize profit". Even if it was illegal (it isn't) it's impossible to prove beyond reasonable doubt in 99.99% of cases where it's brought up online.
What does this comment contribute to the discussion?
I've committed to the process of passing it on; I did a similar thing for a friend , who's now on that last third of the journey.

I've become really interested in the whole concept of an apprenticeship - I think that it could be a great solution for a lot of folks, like it was for me. I intend to do more mentoring, and I'm always on the look out for more mentors.

edited to add: What I got from my mentor was almost not at all technical, and he didn't help me find a job when the time came. Mostly, he helped me feel like it was something that could be done (because he said so and had the credentials to be an authority on the matter), and he got me a little unstuck occasionally. If one could just "make up their mind" that it was a doable thing, they could make it happen without the mentorship - but like I said in the post, it's an emotional journey first and community is super important for that. None of us is an island.
Are you sure? I'm a Mastodon newbie, but the docs suggest neither the "local domain" nor the "web domain" can be changed once set:

> As with LOCAL_DOMAIN, WEB_DOMAIN cannot be safely changed once set, as this will confuse remote servers that knew of your previous settings and may break communication with them or make it unreliable.

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/config/#local_domain

They also recommend a "301 Moved Permanently" implementation.

I agree with your point, but catering to luxury users certainly has an advantage. Android, globally, is doing ok.

It varied, but I would say most places I looked at were comparable (or higher). there were a few places with lower comp that I was OK with (startups, or nonprofits).

A bigger deal happens with ambiguities concerning composed versus decomposed characters. Linux and Windows tend to prefer writing composed characters, whereas Mac OS will prefer writing decomposed characters. The letter é will have two distinct byte sequences to represent the same character (more precisely, the same grapheme).
I'm using Ubuntu/KDE/Plasma. "Discover" is the GUI app that prompts you to install system updates, and will ask for your password when you do (to run apt/dpkg as root). Discord doesn't directly ask for my password, it downloads a .deb from somewhere and opens it, and I get prompted for my password then. Not much different IMHO.

Says that they have a $6 billion stake. Google's market cap is 211x that. If I owned 0.47% of a startup company, would they even take my phone call to listen to my "opinion" on any matter? Something doesn't add up here. Or perhaps this theory is correct, a company that owns 0.47% of Google gets to call the shots. Really makes you think twice about taking investment money.
The feeling of being able to see a dark sky on a moonless night is amazing. For me, it's very spiritual, especially at a truly dark site, after my eyes adjust and I'm immersed in it. It's no wonder they call it "the heavens." It makes me sad that some people will never be able to experience it, and that I don't get to experience it more often. The feeling of cosmic insignificance and unknown is oddly comforting. Sometimes I wonder if lack of dark skies correlates with people being less religious.

I don't think so. Having a bunch of experimental extensions that then can be tested in the wild and rolled to next version of "the standard" would be better flow IMO. Current flow just added a ton of fragmentation to the ecosystem

So you don't need feature matrix, you see "client supports XMPP 4.0", you know what will work and what will not.

I do like Rust development process - stuff gets added to experimental, lives and gets tried by actual users, gets feedback, gets changed and then lands in stable. So stuff looking good on paper but... not being good ends up quickly weeded out.
This is the best feature of Windows tbh
> "You will own nothing and you will be happy."

This is not a goal and not a plan. It was a prediction, a possible scenario of where we could be headed. An extrapolation of current trends.

Using the full quote would make it far clearer that that's what it was:
> “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy. What you want you’ll rent, and it’ll be delivered by drone.”

From https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-wef-idUSKBN2AP2...

> Danish politician Ida Auken, who wrote the prediction in question (here), said it was not a “utopia or dream of the future” but “a scenario showing where we could be heading - for better and for worse.”
The trick is to give a range where the low end is one you're happy with and top end is of the jobs who you're going for. At the end of the day it's a filter and not the be all end all that you'll accept when negotiating time comes.
People with strong opinions about the World Economic Forum tend not to know (let alone understand) what it is. It isn't the Stonecutter's Lodge; it's something closer to the TED Talks organization. It's random executives networking and trying to make themselves seem more important than they are. Fun fact: companies that participate in the WEF underperform the S&P.
Saying business is exploitative is pejorative - it implies wrongness. If you don’t mean to imply a moral judgement, maybe use a different word.

If you don’t mean to imply wrongness, then I’m not sure how your point of view is any different from mine. Trade is two people, mutually and consensually getting something they want from each other such that they’re both happier. If the only difference is your use of the word “exploit” but you mean it in a non-moralising way, sounds like we agree.
Honestly, get good at doing a quick sub-rosa google to find a drink recipe when you don't know it, practice making a few until you figure out that most drinks are variations on like, three, and the rest is being personable.

You could become a bartender without ever having mixed a drink and hack it - much more important to understand people and how to keep the vibe lively.

Oh, and every bartender has lied on their resume at least once.
Common misconception. It’s actually a probability distribution of trust: not actually trustful and trustless at the same time.
Yeah, sorta proves my point. I expected it.
I don’t see how this challenges the CICO argument at all. Weight gain is just a function of calories absorbed and calories burned. You can dig into the details of what those two numbers might be for different people but it doesn’t change what the function is. That being said, CICO is bordering on being a truism and not really adding much to a discussion on weight gain.
There sort of is though, right? At a meta level, making sure you touch on the points they want you to touch on ("is this workload read heavy or write heavy?", "fan out vs fan in", "eventual consistency") is a right answer that you phrase in the form of a series of questions designed to look as if you've never been asked the question before, yeah?
You've told me that joke already. Please stop.

I think it's valid advice in this case, because they seem to be quite upset specifically at the furries, and not at the conversational structure of the post.
I'm sure it does, but I don't think the issues are limited to artificial stone by any means.
I feel similarly. My favorite things about running a business are:

* The variety of problems I get to work on. I write code, I do sales calls, I manage people, I negotiate contracts, I do taxes, you get the idea. I really like learning things and I never get bored.

* I like the intensity. I have to do everything as well as I possibly can, and so I feel like I'm running at close to 100% efficiency at all times. It is very satisfying to feel that you're putting your best work you could.

Both of these things are rare at "normal" jobs. I was lucky enough to have similar experiences when I "worked for the man", but those experiences were never close in terms of quality or intensity.
I'm not going to claim they are easy, but they are accurate (they have a Do The Math calculation button). Even if you mess up, the IRS will typically send you a response noting where their calculations diverged from yours and offer to automatically adjust. (Which denotes the absurdity of this exercise for most taxpayers because the IRS already has all the information it needs to complete your taxes).
That depends on the geography.

Bangladesh, The Netherlands, Kansas, maybe Texas, etc? No, not useful.

Norway, Wyoming, Idaho, California, Switzerland, Nevada, Arizona, etc.? Oh yeah. Very doable.
The best jokes have a basis in fact.
Kansas and the Netherlands would like a word.
Wow. I thought 60 was a lot. I don't think I did any. Honestly, if you spend that much effort practicing something, and it's not paying off, you might have the wrong strategy. E.g. maybe you are failing something besides coding, or maybe you are missing some other fundamental background that you need to go back and study.
Why do I even have to do anything? Just take it from my paycheck directly
Honestly I read this the first time and thought you were making a suggestion as to how the game should be changed. I love the idea but the design and explanation is just awful.

Genuine question, out of curiosity cause not many can make that comparison: do you sometimes miss bartending?
Can we replace the link with this one?
> Surely if your body weight was determined by CICO, we'd expect everyone to gain the same amount of weight given the same calories/diet?

Only if you also control for calories out, which is difficult to do.
People skills. I can hold a conversation about a topic I know nothing about without bullshitting - it's all about asking the right questions to get the other party talking about something that fascinates them.

Also, and I don't think this is bartending but just having survived to 30, I have an understanding that no matter how hard something seems, or how lost I am, it's never quite so drastic as it feels. Also that _thinking_ like it's drastic is a surefire way to make sure it becomes so.
People who use emojis aren't the type to lookup the official meaning. In other words, actual use is at times very different from the official description.

CICO is a determination about the fact that humans obey the laws of the thermodynamics and cannot create mass from nothing.

The fact that different people metabolize differently doesn't refute that.

If you stop eating/eat very small amounts of food, you WILL lose weight. It is literally impossible for you not to do so.

It doesn't matter if you drink pure corn syrup, eat twinkies, or Big Macs. If you limit to some arbitrary number of lets say 500 calories a day you WILL lose weight.

The military has done extensive research on this because of logistical concerns, and have very well documented studies on calories required to keep soldiers active on the field.

Any argument to the contrary is literally arguing that humans break physics and can get fat from nothing.

The “Seed oil” scare cashes out into Twitter sophistry, usually in the form of mechanistic speculation since human outcome data exonerates linoleic acid and vegetable oils and may even convince you to use canola oil.
I wish I could find proper documentation for it. I still haven't fully grasped how placeholders work, and thus often run into unexpected behaviour.

For Boolean conditionals, you're right. But there are richer conditionals that make certain variables available in only one clause of them, e.g., matching on whether an Either in Haskell is Left or Right, or whether a Result in Rust is an Err or an Ok.

1) not that it would happen, but if it did, they won’t just run out.

2) There are vast Uranium deposits in the Southwest and Canada that were identified and either mined a little, or left untouched after WW2 - because we had so much, we didn’t need them.

Early lithium was ‘hard to find’ until it wasn’t, and now there are vast reserves.

Lithium is harder to extract per power unit though, as Uranium is incredibly power dense.

Well that's the point I didn't get it because it also said that the author is not female, which doesn't exclude that person from having the ability to ask for people to call the author with a female pronoun. Me actually using it and respecting that ask is another thing as it is completely up to me if I'm going to do it or not, and honestly if it's respectfully requested with due reasoning I'm okay with it. I did read the page and make the effort to understand which one the author was looking for me to use but eventually I just bounced from the page as I figured I wasn't that interested in the content of the blog post anyways.
