There are advantages to programming to a language specification and only writing a minimal amount of implementation-specific code. For one thing it makes the presuppositions of your program more explicit than if you’re writing in a language where the sole implementation is the specification. However, scheme has traditionally focused on a minimal standard (partly as a reaction to Common Lisp) and this has made “standard only” scheme less practical than the equivalent in Common Lisp or C/C++

I think they are part of the standard stock market price manipulation that executives rely on during downturns. Cutting workers is a way to appear to be saving money and thus push stock prices higher. And why not do it when everyone else is doing it for that short term profit.

Your points on not getting paid sound overly pessimistic. I’ve had hundreds of large clients. They are usually absolutely glacial to pay and totally ignore payment terms, but I’ve never had a debt go totally bad. Invoices have always been paid in the end.

That said, regarding payments, my tip to the OP would be around negotiating down payment terms and chasing finance teams with the anger of 1000 suns if you need the cashflow!
Only you and goatszx seem put out. And, really, do you expect a post here to make a case that took almost 600 book pages to express properly?
Banning gas stoves is entirely realistic; Americans have been using electric stoves for many, many decades. Gas stoves were only popular with some because the old 50s-style calrod stoves just sucked, for many reasons, but even back then the electric grid had no problem with them. Modern glass-top induction stoves are far superior to gas cooking in every way. The amount of energy needed for electric stoves is really quite tiny, and very short-term too; it's nothing like that needed for EV charging.

Ask HN: How do you migrate Email and Exchange accounts
Hey guys,
Im looking for tools to use in order to migrate a small amount (around 50) mailboxes from an MS Exchange hoster, to Office 365.

Most of the hard part has been synced already, but now iam at the point where i have drift between the "old" and "new" mailbox because the migration took way longer than expected.

My Ideal software would probably run in a container, but my main concern is that the tool needs to either run with a (modest) cloud fee or at least on linux so i can configure it myself. I dont have a problem with paying for good software, but as the org im representing right now is german, the tool needs to adhere to GDPR too.

What are you using? And why?
First, you are somebody.
You have more skills in your area of expertise than anyone else you will meet.

My first clients came from volunteering at the local football club. As others have said, connections matter.

Do what doesn't scale. But don't do it for free.

> Because you're choosing to ignore the growing threat of white supremacist violence to minorities all over the country,

This may be hard for you to understand, but what you fear is a marginal threat, at best.

> There have been many mass shootings targeted at them already.

How many is "many"? If you're going to argue that even 1 is 1 too many, then we may as well give up on this argument - you're never going to get down to a zero level of any demographic or group.

OTOH, the main causes of violence against minorities still appears to be purely crime-driven. If you were honest with yourself, you'd make up a top-10 list of the causes of deaths/injury of minorities and realise that "Killedx by a white supremecist" isn't even in the list.

> But I'm not talking on behalf of you, I'm talking on behalf of myself, because I am a member of one of these many groups which are targeted.

But you didn't talk about yourself, did you? No, you referred to entire groups on the assumption that they agree with your assessment of the risk to themselves.

Now you know that the groups you mentioned are not unanimously in agreement with you.
We tend to learn through imitation more than we think. Humans lean on Theory of Mind: when we see others do a task we assume that it’s the right way of doing things, so we adopt their incantations.

Generally this is not something that should be disheartening. It’s an incredibly efficient learning method that spreads cultural advancements quickly.

Have you ever tried to train a dog? They try to understand you, but they don’t imitate. You have to meticulously motivate them through each step of a behavior and mark it consistently with commands. It’s fun, but requires a lot of patience.

With humans you can just demonstrate something and they can imitate complex workflows in just a session or two.

The master said to the apprentice: “I’ll only show you this once, so watch carefully!”
Or I can propose that it doesn't need to be "paid for", because it's not asking the economy to produce any more goods and services than it already does.

But sure, I'd accept there'd be medical care it couldn't realistically be expected to cover.
It's not that simple, because you can't find where super is called in the general case. Consider: `var foo = { bar: super }; foo['b' + 'a' + 'r']();` - you need to evaluate it in order to define scoping. But JS has lexical scoping as a design choice...
Thanks. Very interesting to see effective labor organization at work.

No. But all your experience in the world is in hierarchies. You have no relevant experience to draw on.
I can also see this being a major drawback.

I had similar moments when watching the remastered Star Trek TNG. Some of the sets - the bridge set for one - had been built so that they would just barely hold up when viewed on analog video / SD TV. With the film scans, all the messy shortcuts and crimes are easily visible. The set builders must have had some deep knowledge of what shows up on camera and what doesn't to cut the corners they did.
Copilot does work in notebooks, at least inside pycharm and vs code. I ask it for pandas solutions ask the time.
Also in Reamde and later Fall. I forget exactly, but i think in Reamde they flood the internet with shit, and then some years later in Fall everyone has curated echo chambers of content, such that people signed up to different streams are basically living in different realities. Which i guess is just the logical conclusion of what we have now.
> Hot is not a recommendation algorithm -- everyone has the same hot list. It's literally just a sort of votes.

Is that true? How do they decide when a post falls off the feed?

It's clearly a velocity calculation of some sort, but I'm sure it's been tweaked and changed over time. But how? What's the actual calculation? Does it vary by subreddit? If they published the calculation/algorithm, would it matter?
And if they got more successful at bringing those children to adulthood with each try (a pattern frequently seen in animals), the visible average resulting from that 15, 20, 25 example would even be higher than 20.
Thank you. That makes sense.

I wonder how much the scale would be different from the current remote work, plus at which point (if reached) those lower cost areas would start increasing in price. It is interesting too to think about second order effects of having most UBI and not working people live more in some areas.
Good site. I just gave you at least an hour of ad views because I can't ever stop until I win one. :) Note that on chrome on linux, the ads get quite heavy and slow everything down after 5 or so games, and I have to reload the page or it's too unresponsive to play.
It is thus very, very convenient for the few that people are conditioned from childhood to believe it is the only way to organize, and announce it freely in print.
Do they? I recall that Apple recommends enabling FileVault to ensure you CAN erase data from the computer, as you cannot really erase an SSD.
This is an anti-trust ruling from the Competition Commission of India. Google has a dominant market position, while Apple's is minuscule in India. So they're probably not concerned about Apple.
For me the most practical way to realize such interactive programing, in ways that solve real world problems for me, with visual interfaces, is to use jupyter notebooks.

You just have to bind sliders to variables, and tie your outputs to graphical plots and there you go.

The big challenge is to come up with a large library of pre-built canonical graphical representations for different programming abstractions and being able to wire them seamlessly together.
You don't necessarily need a bank for that; DeFi platforms like Aave can provide the equivalent of a margin loan. Looks like the current (variable) APY for WBTC is 1.11%.
This is the board of directors behind the entity that publishes this website [1]. I can see mostly Norwegian people, so I suspect there's Norwegian money powering this website, hence Norwegian interests. Norway is very active on the renewables energy market, i.e. it has lots and lots of interests on that market. All that to say that I wouldn't take this article at face value, just another way to try and shift opinion in order to make more money for its owners.

Later edit: The chairman of the board from that website is this lady Anette S. Olsen [2], who's sole proprietor of this company/group, Fred. Olsen & Co. [3], which interests also include the energy market. The company/group is into renewables, this is their website [4], lots of wind farms on their website, I suppose they're into selling that, not hydrogen. As I said, it's easier to follow the money.

This. They've been fighting the EV transition tooth and nails, it really needs to be called out.

I mean, how nice an EV would that new Insight of theirs just released have been? The design is gorgeous. Instead we get yet another hybrid, which makes sense in a good few use cases I guess - primarily related to charger availability - but just puts them further behind on the EV development experience curve.

Edit: And their investments in Hydrogen, doubling down on it along with the Hybrid tech is indeed a great sunk cost fallacy example. Check Toyota's market share in Norway over the past few years for a fun example of consequences.
The points in the sphere are uncountably many - you can't give each one a room number.

>So in order for them to climb over the financial cliff they've got to find a part-time job that pays a lot more than what they receive from the government.

The ideal is, without "Welfare Cliffs", they could find work that pays a BIT more, and lose a SLIVER of welfare, thus making the effort still worth it.
What do you mean by “doing Vipassana, all the time”? Body scanning? Focusing on equanimity? Observing change in the phenomena you’re perceiving?

The article states that all known versions of these 'paradoxes' arise from the axiom of choice. But I believe it isn't known yet whether denying the axiom of choice categorically prevents these paradoxes and allows 'perfect' measures to exist.

Anyone care to clarify?
Buddhism is not a centralized religion with a pope. Your opinion on what “original Buddhism” is can be yours but universalizing it does not fit within the practices of a relatively decentralization religion.

We've been working on an example vulnerable app to showcase vulnerable dependencies in web apps. (Think a CVE in an NPM package.)

I've been wanting that so that I can test out different security scanning and patching tools, but also actually build a test playground to exploit vulnerable dependencies. (I want to accelerate exploit development for CVEs by making it more standardized.)

If you have a CVE that you'd like to write a POC exploit scenario for, you can add it to this project quickly and easily with pre-built templates[1]! (Wasp[2] is an awesome project that simplifies web dev tooling complexity.)

Are there any other projects with similar goals that anybody is aware of? Asking because I couldn't find any, but I'd love to merge efforts if somebody is already doing this!

There is no need for Congress to keep up with all the issues affecting the country. They should only legislate on issues where they have legitimate Constitutional authority without stretching the intended meaning of the commerce clause. Everything else can be left to the several states, or simply not regulated at all.

In particular I hope the Supreme Court will eventually reverse the precedents established in Gonzales v. Raich (2005), United States v. Darby (1941), and United States v. South-Eastern Underwriters (1944). That would essentially destroy much of the federal government as we know it today, and good riddance.

I watch a lot of old movies (30s-40s-50s). A ton of them have a 40s-50s man marrying a 20s woman.

No idea if that was societal norm, mens fantasy, or whatever. I have to kind of believe movie execs would want the largest audience and so if 40s-50s men dating 20s women was not appealing to women of the time they'd been losing 1/2 the market. But, maybe these particular movies were the male equivalent of romance novels which seem to be written 99% for a female audience

Some examples:

The Girl Can't Help It (1956)

South Pacific (1958)

My Fair Lady (1964)

The Far Country (1954)

Casablanca (1942)

To Have and Have Not (1944)

Charade (1963)

There are literally 100s of them and I'm not recommending any of the movies above per-say, but it does stick out to me just how common that theme is of man, at least 15yrs older than woman which I believe is less common today
I love this app and use it daily. (I think I got it through setapp). Awesome work.
I said white supremacist violence, but you took that to mean terrorist killings, which is a small subset of that violence.

They much more frequently intimidate, threaten, harass, and abuse those minoritized groups than outright murder them. Maybe that doesn't bother you, either. But making factual statements doesn't require anyone to agree with me. Those violent acts are occurring, nonetheless.

The reason it is important to associate these minoritized groups is that they are all being underserved by state and federal law enforcement agencies who permit such terroristic groups to organize with impunity. It is a steadily rising problem, and the longer it's ignored the worse it will get.
Usually your state is more complicated than just one enum. You'll have counters, buffers, etc.

The only time I've ever used a state machine in real code is when parsing text one token at a time or something like that. It's a useful skill to remember for those situations. And this kind of problem is very over-represented in SWE interviews.

> Try to focus on the kinds of customers you won't ask for down-payments and up-fronts --- the kinds of customers who will routinely delay a full quarter or two on payables, and you'll put up with it, because they're paying for several people's salaries, and the people you work with there don't control the accounts payable people to begin with.

Can't you just volunteer for these companies instead? If the need free work so they can get their employees to do something useful and pay for it, and you want them paying their employees instead of you as a contractor, you can be straight up about giving away your labour, instead of pretending that they're going to pay you as your customer

If you're giving stuff for free on purpose, just give it away for free

> I agree with your sentiment, but I think you're under-emphasing the power granted our reasoning ability from knowledge (theoretical concepts) and writing (seekable communication).

The 2 party corrupt form of politics that is the mainstay in US does not require reasoning ability beyond the ability of a 30'000 Homo Sapien?

It might my definition of politics but I doubt very much that what our ancestors were practicing 30k years ago wasn't politic in any sense that we could understand.

Communally sharing knowledge about watering holes and what the next door tribe was doing was probably more along the lines of what was discussed.

Societal informational interchange isn't politic. Politic is, for me, a group of people coming together (I.e. The ruling class) and deciding what the group as a whole (i.e. Everyone else) should be doing.
I don't follow. The companies I'm describing are likely to be your most lucrative clients.
Hmm, while these may be the emotional pangs of going through the process, there is a much greater failure that destroys much more value (both monetary and tangible benefit).

Joining a large company prevents expanding total addressable market.

The acquirer wants to tap an existing resource. While growth is commendable, it's only perceived as an option within a narrow customer base or market segment. It's increasing ROI, not capitalizing on new changes in the market.

This looks like a failure to innovate, but that's correlation not causation; not the root cause. There's plenty of innovation, it's just constrained by a limited business model.

I've never seen a company break out of this trap. If you make money from ads, b2b users (Slack), or b2b management (Oracle), it's impossible to change those stripes.

Microsoft could make a video game unit because they think "software in a box." Amazon never will.

It's not usually the giants where this really plays out, but the middle tier. Adobe, Atlassian, Intuit, PayPal, Salesforce, Walmart labs. Like trading Bitcoin for pizza in 2015, they made a great financial deals that paid off, even legitimized the space and were ahead of their time, but lost out on underpinning entire future markets.

The import could have something to do with it. When I started using Spotify I used a playlist importer that included many false positives when it couldn't find a particular song. I ended up with a bunch of live David Bowie recordings that I've never heard in there, and now it still thinks I want to hear him every time I shuffle my liked songs. It could have chosen a worse artist, but I don't need to hear him every time.
Don't tell me it's impossible, tell me "I can't do it"...

We had architecture sketches (informal, but highly taylored to show the gist of a system) that stayed valid and were used from after the first prototype to well after release, over a course of more than five years. It was a system of six embedded processors, 2 FPGAs, 5 different bus technologies, (luckily only) two different endianesses and coding and debugging would have gone horribly wrong without that overview sketch of just enough detail. There are cars in your town that drive around with it for a dozen of years now.
