> This list implies that "homophobic, racist, sexist, emotionally and mentally stunted incels" is destined to be normal and acceptable in the future. That sounds awful.

I'm not so sure about "emotionally and mentally stunted incels," but homophobia, racism, and sexism were all acceptable in the past, and given enough time will most likely be acceptable in the future.

Progress is a lie; change can go in all directions. It's a mistake to draw a line across living memory or the recent historical era and extrapolate whatever trend you find very far into the future.
What's the link between IR and mitochondria ? I understand skin tissue (or any exposed tissue) could react to radiations but not cells deeper (unless IR goes through us..).
Why: because 40 hours is a minimum and not a maximum, I am hiring for salary not contract.

You can choose to hire double dippers then, when you start your own business. I am sure you will get a lot of quality work.

I really don’t think this view is out of the ordinary in the US. How many YV startups would allow someone to work for salary at a second job, if being paid a salary? I have seen many employment agreements, and it’s not very common.

It’s one extreme to own someone’s work output outside of work hours. It’s another to allow someone to collect two salaries.
While that's true that no individual action matters, it's also true that our individual actions taken as a whole has an impact on the world, and because of that, we must treat individual actions as though they had the impact of collective actions.

I did not move from the US. I initially moved to the UK on another (non-renewable) visa, and changed to Talent visa after that expired.

I enjoy living in the UK. The main thing that keeps me here is enertia - social circle and a (remote, but not async) job that I enjoy.

My initial move here was 100% a function of my age/stage in life. I do not regret moving here, and to be honest 'the current climate' doesn't really affect me that much.

What does that mean? It doesn't really matter what it means today. What matters is what will it mean when the next thing becomes the current thing.
All very fair points, I suppose it just comes down to whatever the particular company is looking for. At the time it was important to find people that showed enthusiasm and would fit well with the rest of the engineers. Taking the time to show that enthusiasm in a personalised way was a good start.

It's interesting though that there are such large differences in approaches out there.

Or said differently: when you have a hammer, everything is a nail.

And our belovèd HN, as amazing and as addictive as it is, is a community by for of “the software developer-entrepreneur” and this by definition, with the hammer of “your mind tries to reduce everything to algorithms” (the personality type which is attracted to writing software just for that very reason!) of course they will do that for humans as well.

Of course, I’d love an HN of poets but that would have the problem of the other extreme: empathy emoting so it would be hard to turn that into clear concise cutting and actionable insights…
At least in the US, skyrocketing college costs aren't really due to excess demand. They are a side effect of the torrent of student loan money that the schools have captured over the last 20-30 years.

The lenders and the schools worked hand-in-hand to ratchet up the price tags and the size of the loans for college educations. All their incentives were to go up up up! The additional revenue to the schools didn't go to a better education, of course ... it largely went to administrative salaries. The administrative budget at US colleges has grown unbelievably while the instructional budget per-capita has been flat, driven down by the "adjunctification" of teaching staff.
Buying back another $40 billion in stock also helps. The narrative around metaverse costs was largely that they should return cash to shareholders rather than dumping so much of it into that incinerator. It looks like the board took that advice.
That was the reason. Nobody wants to pay a high tax to support schools when only a small fraction of that goes to their children's local school.

Better to minimize the tax, have shitty public schools, and pay for private schools.

It makes sense from a certain perspective.

It was essentially the no child left behind policy for schools. No public schools are allowed to be better funded than the worst schools, so people look for alternatives to the system.
Hey just giving you guys feedback. The emojis are a bit of an issue. NocoDB has this issue as well. If I want to use this at work it's a lot harder sell because of the emojis and statements like "it's blazing fast!!"

For some businesses, it has to look super straight and serious, and give the impression that it's secure (which doesn't necessarily mean writing "we're secure!")
Like copying the style of Microsoft Office would be the best. Google Docs or Zoho would be ok too.
Of course it's great that you got through YCombinator and pitched, etc. But giving the impression of "Woo! We're a startup!" makes it seem like the company may be gone soon. It could be an issue because the company may not want to change their workflow if it won't stay stable for at least 5 years.

To sell to a more generic established business, it might be better to look like a company that has been around and isn't going anywhere. Like for Microsoft Office, the assumption is that it's secure and your data never leaves your PC.
Ah, this title makes more sense. After all, humans are bullshit generators to, and can occasionally be useful.

The rules lawyer is a stereotype that never quite translated into typical CRPGs any more than the thespian did. And those roles existed in all RPGs and often other gamer geek games back then. I miss those days.

When I've tried tabletop role playing a couple of times in recent years it was all munchkining all the time. About as un-fun as CRPGs but slower and more annoying.
Pretty sure PIII's beat P4s at a lot of benchmarks. :-D Thus why AMD is around today.
I don't mind paying for AI services, but I want it to be transparent. I want to see the source code, the training data and so on. What I'm paying for should be the massive compute infrastructure needed to train and maintain the model, but something like this is way too important and powerful to be a 'blackbox' SAAS product.

If we think we have problems with Facebook or Google's hold over us, this has the potential to be much much worse if we get the design of the products and the business models wrong.
> You can see this shift even in the rise of the word “content” itself. From Ted Gioia’s article: “The banal word ‘content’ is used to describe every type of creative work, implying that artistry is generic and interchangeable.”

Just one of a number of things wrong with the overuse of this word. I can’t be the only one who gags everytime someone mentions “content” or worse, the phrase “consuming content” which is just gross and stupid
> Which is also significant because the global RNG is safe for concurrent use. Instantiated RNGs are not.

Amusingly, I submitted a patch for this some years ago, and it was rejected on the grounds that callers might depend on the specific sequence of numbers outputted by the global RNG using the default seed, which could break the compatibility promise.

Now that that's been deemed a non-issue, I might resubmit.
Does the local government have any leverage over a firm that's causing issues on the road? Beyond individual ticketing I mean. Like if Uber is causing issues, what legal standing does SF have to prevent them from doing so?

I don't know if it's true today but once upon a time a AAA game studio everyone here has heard of had exactly these "developer secretary" roles on game teams. From what I understand it was extremely helpful and it also served as an entry point into other, more interesting roles in the company. I know of one such person who transitioned into project management work internally, having first been a development team assistant, and she's had a wonderful career in games for at least 15 years now.
Yeah, this can't be some prank by a renegade flight crew, it can only be a farewell celebration act with a kick-off meeting, a budget and a dozen people who signed off. But I'm not criticising, by that measure we'd have to question any resource expenditure that exceeds the bare minimum for sustaining life.
The thread is about programming semantics though, so what does that have to do with anything?
> which asked me if I wanted to leave a tip (to myself?)

This reminds me of weird tip-related hijinx I experienced recently. First, also at an airport, the credit card machine asked me to leave a tip at one of those retail "news" stores. This seems like an overreach. Retail was traditionally a tip-free experience and the prices at those stores are outrageous already.

In another incident, my restaurant bill included an automatic 20% "service fee" (for a party of 2). We had to ask if this was the equivalent of a tip and going to the staff or what (turns out it was). I totally support paying restaurant staff a living wage and eliminating tips entirely, but this seems somewhat underhanded. Sure I was planning to tip already, but calling it a "service fee" sends a very muddled message. It would have been more transparent to just make the food cost 20% more.

Finally, as a general observation, the move paying (and tipping) electronically makes me question if the waitstaff are getting 100% of these digital tips or the employer is keeping some/all of it.
Absolutely, but conversely: the performance hit of the virtual DOM _should_ (and that's doing a lot of heavy lifting) be irrelevant in a well designed UI, because aside from initial load, most parts of the UI don't change for the majority of the lifetime of the app. Only tiny portions of the UI update at a time. The parts that do update can most definitely update fast enough on even moderately modern hardware (both desktop and mobile).

That does, however, require having properly designed your UI, with a knowledge of where the power of your framework of choice is. And that's where a lot of apps fail. Even something as simple yet critical as using vdom keys tends to (for various reasons) never register for many folks, leading to terrible performance.

This is actually pretty similar. The OS has an alternative data stream(An idea they stole from Mac), and they list what site a exe was downloaded on, or if it came from somewhere else. Others incorrectly called it a flag, when it works by having two different file data streams for a single file, one is the default one.

So for example, a single file can actually contain two different "files"(File data).

So, foo.exe, actually will effectively open the file foo.exe:DEFAULT. You could also add a piece of malware to the foo file in place of a datastream. So foo.exe is legit, but if you open foo.exe:MALWARE , it will open up the malware datastream.

So tldr, how Windows does this, it when you get a file from a third party source(Internet, USB Drive, etc), it adds a new datastream in the form of a textfile. And the textfile contains info about the source. Namely, a number for location it came from(3? for web), and then some more info.

Instagram is an app and therefore can't have its ads (easily) blocked. Facebook is mostly used by older people that don't know about ad blockers.
It's only been 3 months. Their ad income is reportedly in the pits, and $8/mo from users isn't going to cover that loss. Twitter took on loans to cover its own buyout, service of which is around $1B/y. He's being sued for not paying rent, and various issues around layoffs. Musk has been talking about filing bankruptcy to skirt financial obligations. So, count me among those who see Musk's endeavor as fraught. But I wouldn't bet on a timeline. Maybe he'll follow through on his poll, and relinquish the CEO position to an adult, and I might change my mind.
I use my toothbrush every day but I wouldn't pay $20 per month for it.

I use my keyboard everyday but I wouldn't pay $20 per month for it. In fact, I paid around $4 total for it, as paying more would bring significantly more diminishing returns.

I use my phone every day and have used it for the past 5 years with no issue, it has brought me so much value and yet, if I draw the line, it didn't even reach $20 per month (price divided by time used), not even mentioning that I expect it to last another 2-3 years, bringing the cost down even further.

What kind of crazy value would you expect something to have in order to be worth $20/mo?

i have personally packaged and published many rust devtools on npm (cloudflare's wrangler, apollo's rover, wasm-pack) but that was largely because they were targeted at a javascript developer audience.

as a former npm registry engineer i'm curious what you find to be the particular value of publishing to npm? installing node is actually very unpleasant and then getting global installs to work is also... very unpleasant. i think it works well for people already in that ecosystem but i think we can build something better for a more agnostic audience that can give a similar out-of-box exp without requiring a centralized registry. would love to learn more about your perspective!

They deliver more ads today than they have at any point in their history. That's a function of active users, and of their UX. The instagram/fb experience of today is not anything like it was 5 years ago -- there are a lot more ads.

At the same time, more people are "using" their family of apps in one way or another on a daily or monthly basis. These metrics entail all kinds of flaws, but ads delivered and ad impressions are the metric that explain the phenomenon you describe, more than net-new users.

That being said, yes, international expansion is a big deal for how they grow the "user" count metrics.
