I actually had the opposite happen a long, long time ago. Started my new job on salary. Sysadmin on a bunch of remote Unix systems (yes, "Unix"), and systems programmer as well. As one might expected, it was a demanding job. That's fine, I liked it, and the first month went fine.

Then a new manager gets the idea that we should be hourly. Why? My only reasonable guess is that he had some misguided idea that "salary" was for big-whigs like himself, and "hourly" is for the grunts under him. So now I have to punch a literal clock, like a fast-food worker or summat? Fine by me.

I made fucking bank at that job, as one might imagine. Oh, I worked my ass off, but I got paid for every minute of it (and more, with overtime). What I can't imagine is how much payroll went up, and how he got away with continuing it.
I have a few thousand things to summarize, and am a paying subscriber. What happens to my account if I automate your page?

I'm happy to pay. I think it's too much but I'd probably unhappily pay $0.05 per summary when they're this good. I'd rather pay $0.005 or less, then I'd plug it into KB tools like Obsidian as well as our bookmarking / link logging workflow firm-wide.

Which reminds me, I want to be able to "gift" Kagi search to all employees. I actively don't want them to have to use Google. Is there a way for an automatic company @domain x per seat billing, or should I use gifting?

Finally, what would it take for kagi.com to be part of the Apple One / iCloud+ offering? That needs to happen.
I have the same overall reaction. But suspect that your analogy with the calculator to distract some people reading this. Difference being that one is user input error and the other is either ChatGPT misunderstanding what's being asked or just lacking training data and presenting an answer that's incorrect.

By yes, an eye roll from me as well. A few months back I heard the horror stories about how a bot answers with confidence and now it's the main complaint in articles about why it's busted and dangerous. It doesn't bring anything new to the table and doesn't push the conversation forward in any way.
The article would argue that, rather than being the aggressor, Argentina is attempting to liberate a colonially oppressed region that rightfully belongs to Argentina.
Lots of comments here debating what’s legacy, what’s modern. Here’s my take:

Never use objects with behavior. (Ban OOP.)

Prefer monadic types.

Functions should only take or return moved values or const references. (These form linear types when you need state and ensure immutable values for stateless types.)

Never use a template without a concept.

Prefer the stack and ban mutable memory.

You end up with a functional language which resembles Haskell and competes with C. Not even rust has that level of generality.
> hiring a contracter, ..., engaging in the political process, holding a job

These are all situations where the desire for anonymity is outweighed by the requirement for accountability.

You're aware that 'hiring a contractor' requires entering into a contract right? And so does being employed.

Entering into a contract without establishing your identity implies a desire not to be bound by the terms of that contract. Is that your intent?

As for 'engaging in the political process', I have never heard anyone argue that the problem with politics is that people are too honest and open. Do we need more anonymous political party donors?
There are 2 things that are orthogonal in current trend. This SSR buzz is not actually selling Server Side Rendering, they are selling 'one language to rule them all' (they call this dumb name "isomorphic").

Therefore, they are not solving all the problems of client-server + best UX constraints. Basically the problems we have all this time comes from:

1) There's a long physical distance between client and server
2) Resource and its authorization have to be on server.
2) There's the need for fast interaction so some copy of data and optimistic logic need to be on client.

The "isomorphic" reusable code doesn't solve [latency + chatty + consistent data] VS [fast interaction + bloat client + inconsistent data] trade-off. At this point I don't know why they think that is innovation.

Let's say a controversial technical detail like "monorepos are good" or "you don't need 100% test coverage" . Or an unconventional business idea like "managers should be more commanding with their subordinates". Those will not be universally upvoted and it would be nice to see unique or upcoming technical & business opinions.

> A new labor law rule — kicked back by a federal judge last month — that would have made almost four million Americans eligible for overtime pay may still have resulted in higher wages for the workers it was intended to help.

> The new legislation would have significantly raised the salary cap under which employees were eligible to earn overtime. In response, some large companies, such as Walmart, gave raises to workers whose pay fell just under the new threshold, making them ineligible for overtime pay. Other companies reclassified salaried overtime-exempt workers as hourly employees, which would make them eligible to earn overtime for workweeks longer than 40 hours.
> The risk of those things ending all of humanity are greatly reduced with a second planet.

I can imagine a situation where that's true. But right now, for almost any situation, a series of super-bunkers is orders of magnitude cheaper and more effective. A lot of ridiculously destructive things can happen to Earth and it will still be a better place to live than Mars.
FWIW, at my non-tech company, our compensation is far far below tech compensation. HR is extremely resistant to increasing salaries for SWEs. It’s comparatively easy to argue that, if an individual has a competing offer for 300k they’re clearly very valuable and we should give them a title that fits that.

Essentially, it’s easier to make tons of exceptions than to fix the root cause.
FAANG and other big tech employees can earn in the top 1-5% annual income and can reach the top 1% net worth, which suggests that likely they're more aligned with the cartoonish greedy fatcats than any other worldview so I can't imagine why you think that would help your argument. Beyond that, while I have met a few individuals that I'd describe as villainous, I'd say the majority whom I suspected of that level of wealth were fairly normal and decent people.
How about this: in swinger communities, they have safe words that they can use to transcend the playtime aspect of reality - how about we develop something similar for internet arguments, a term that is mutually agreed upon in advance, and when uttered by a participant it kicks off a well documented (and agreed upon) protocol where all participants downgrade System 1 thinking to zero and upgrade System 2 thinking to 11...and, all participants carefully monitor each other to ensure that people are executing the agreed upon plan successfully?

This general approach works quite well (with practice) in many other domains, maybe it would also work for arguments/beliefs.

Do YOU not understand their arguments? They are facially stupid. The notion that we should be colonizing mars because of global warming is the stupidest thing I've ever read or heard.

I agree, Okta absolutely does support OAuth and other standards. As do Ping, wso2 and other workforce oriented solutions.

But Okta itself has focused on the workforce (IAM) product, rather than one focused on many users, which is why they bought Auth0, which they do own, as you correctly stated. If you go to okta.com, they have 'customer identity' and workforce identity' as the first two options of their menu. But my understanding is that 'customer identity' is really the Auth0 platform.

I did say:

> there is overlap and the categories are fuzzy

I didn't mean to imply that Okta didn't support standards. However, standards implementation isn't (in my mind) their defining characteristic, IAM/workforce management is. Just like some of the JS focused providers support OAuth, but the defining characteristic is their focus on JS/front end frameworks.

I'll end by saying that I haven't done a deep dive into all of these options, these are just some of the companies in the space. Caveat emptor, do your own diligence.

(From your profile link, I see that you are an Okta employee. I'd love to have your insight into how you'd group the competitors to help OP do their research to find the right solution.)
There's rigor within the assumptions. The problem is when the assumptions are wrong - most notably around failure independence. Data center fire? Accounted for. Simultaneous terrorist attack / asteroid (as per GP), / nuclear war on all data centers? Maybe not. Where does insider threat fit in on that spectrum? We don't know.

I'm personally fine with the claim as I understand the methodology and assumptions but it has to be interpreted carefully.
Would you call the current popularity contest a form of gamification?
I don't disagree, but I've also never seen a enterprise sales organization that caters to businesses that don't already have millions of dollars in spend sitting in the war chest. We'd all jump at 50k because we're reasonable humans that understand thats a lot of money. However, when you're on the hook for booking millions of dollars in business in what amounts to 60 working days (90 day quarters), you might think about it differently is my limited understanding.
It was a term invented by a Wall Street analyst that had no meaning except to identify some emerging market countries. That it somehow got turned into a weird idea of a political block for a set of countries which have very little in common politically or socially and survives to this day is kind of hilarious.
I'd second the Airthings device, they have pretty high quality sensors and include VOCs, CO2, pm2.5, radon, and a few others. A little bit pricey is the only downside for me.
> I find the uncanny valley of pretend native controls a very uncomfortable place to be

Me too, and I’m surprised how okay with it people seem to be. What are the odds that Google to continue to support the latest platform UI changes? What about five years from now? How much effort is it to get good accessibility support vs native controls, and how likely are developers to do that?

The whole approach seems wholly dependent on Google continuing to give a shit, and as we’re all aware they don’t have the best track record there.
Tell HN: Fontawesome makes it impossible to downgrade to free plan
PSA: if you’re subscribed to fontawesome pro and plan to leave, don’t expect to be transferred to the free plan automatically. Instead, you will lose access to any kit created, even if it’s only a single one that should be covered by the free plan. Learned it the hard way, rendered my companies product useless for a couple of hours until I subscribed again for a full year so that I can migrate to a self hosted solution.

P.S.: customer support just confirmed that this happens on purpose. They obviously intend to harm people by suggesting a smooth transition to free via their pricing page. I’m probably not the only one who opted to renew for another period out of necessity.
In 2020 I bought a Netatmo CO2 sensor, since it was cheaper than the alternatives. Not sure how accurate it was, but it seemed accurate enough (450-500 outside).

Live in the PNW with only electric heating/stove/oven. Cracking the window very slightly was enough to keep CO2 relatively low (600-800). Had to crack the window more when the temp is around 70 outside, less when the temp delta is higher (cold or warm).

Eventually ditched the device once I understood how to keep CO2 low. The cloud integration was creepy. I could tell when my wife or I went to bed based on CO2 spiking near the sensor.
No, because the market (e.g. Wall Street) dynamics of my (tech) industry seem to have little to do with the actual realities of the business. While I know the latter very well, it doesn’t seem to be reflected in associated stock pricing. Which is good in a way, because the value of my RSUs isn’t negatively influenced by reality. :)
It'd be really nice to have a good scanf() function. Worth noting that we do have Google's outstanding double-conversion library in the cosmo codebase https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/tree/master/third_party... as well as gdtoa (which is what we use for printf's floating point support) https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/tree/master/third_party... but we simply haven't found the time yet to incorporate this stuff into scanf() so contributions are very much welcome.

30 seconds isn't incremental, that is way too long.

I work on a large'ish C++ project and incremental is generally 1-2 seconds.

Incremental must work in release builds(someone else said it only works in debug for Rust), although it is fine to disable link time optimizations as those are obviously kinda slow.
Community impact is certainly one angle to consider capitalism from, but for me the most important and damning aspect is the investor-ownership of the means of production. I think the people doing the work should be the ones getting the profits for said work. I don't think it's right for anyone to claim ownership of another person's work. It's inherently antagonistic to have parasites built into the economy.
This article is basically propaganda, blaming the US for all Argentina's problems (particularly overthrowing the Peron government), while somehow attempting to endorse the Peron governments -- who were Nazi Allies and Fascists.

But you don't need one sensor per drone, but one per swarm with the same target (and any kind of data link between members of the swarm). And by the time the swarm is within reach of the protection weapons of the target, it's probably close enough for the fairly basic sensors onboard of every drone to be able to work on its own if the target drone is destroyed (for instance: GNSS up to the last know position of the ship, and then just computer vision at close-range).
You pretty much need to be a gunsmith to create a reliable weapon that won't jam and won't explode in your face. In most countries you can't order weapon parts online - all load-bearing parts are regulated. You can't manufacture those without gunsmithing skills and equipment.

This is why criminals prefer to smuggle industrially manufactured illegal guns from somewhere else instead of making them at home.

Gun laws don't prevent someone from making shitty homemade guns. They prevent them from getting properly made ones. Accessing gun smuggling networks isn't that easy without connections to the criminal underworld.

I looked up Luty's homemade firearms. He claimed that they can be manufactured by anyone. But that's obviously not true. He definitely had good metalworking skills. I certainly would not be able to manufacture anything like that at home.

> but from the article, the impression that it is more like persuasion.

Okay -- but if you showed up to a tech conference, and someone in the hallway was trying to "persuade" you to join a threesome, would you feel that was appropriate for the setting? The issue is that so much of this relationship-and-sex talk is happening to people who didn't think they had signed up for it. That's where you start verging on abuse.

I think part of the issue is that EA is:

- kind of life-defining by nature

- filled with people who seek self-improvement

- filled with people who are excellent persuaders

With that mix, it is uncomfortably easy to start "mixing business with pleasure," so to speak. People in that environment think that they live a really interesting and good life, and want to convince others of that fact.

That's why people are blaming the movement, I think.

I do not believe utilitarianism is sound, because its logic can be easily used to justify some obviously horrible things. However the framework appeals very strongly to "rationalist" type people.

If it sounds horrible, then it's probably is?

The logical chain of hurting a human leading to helping two human doesn't sound like something that is moral or dependable.

Giving to charities that focus on the most severe and urgent problem of humanity is a very straightforward idea.

However, not all charities are focused on the most urgent problems. For example, a local charity I frequent does improv and comedy theater, hardly 'urgent' needs. People don't like to hear is that they could donate money to a third world NGO providing vaccines, or fighting corruption in third world countries instead of their local church or community theater.

Don't get me wrong, community theaters/churches/etc are good things. They just aren't saving lives.
Haskell is a pretty fun language to learn and if you’re interested in trying to translate concepts from category theory into programming, it’s probably a good language to use.

Haskell is not category theory in the same sense that arithmetic is not group theory: there’s only really one category. Well sort-of because type constructors let you work in different subcategories.

Category theory is about different categories and the nature of the relationships between them. It usually operates at a level of ‘let C be a category…’ with concrete categories or functors being examples. Haskell operates at a level even more concrete than single objects in a single category: the objects are types and Haskell operates on the values of those types. Of course Haskell can work at slightly higher levels too, but it never really escapes categories that look a lot like Hask.

Maybe that statement is too strong though. I’d be keen to see some interesting actual-category-theory level things in Haskell. (Maybe I’m being unfair and these do exist but I am considering them to not count as ‘actual category theory’)

I thought that the ‘categorical theory of patches’ thing was a good example of category theory applied to programming but note that it didn’t require any kind of general notion of e.g. push-outs in a programming language.
You should have taken the director job, you probably would have handled it as well as anyone else. I was a "Director" of Test at one company. I didn't even have a budget. Even in interviews I'll tell folks that I was a test manager with a glorified title (though with no budget, was I even a "test manager"?).
>I do not believe utilitarianism is sound, because its logic can be easily used to justify some obviously horrible things.

Right, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't care about consequences at all. There's a pretty big gap between "given that we have scarce resources, we should maximize the impact of our use of it" and "committing this atrocity is fine because the utility calculations work out".
ChatGPT is good for some things, it's not very good for others. If you're writing a paper on a controversial topic, you're going to get a one sided and biased answer; and it will be written like a HS freshman. If you're asking something straight forward, you'll have a better experience. Some people have said they've gotten it to diagnose something, but I've tried and failed at getting it to do such a thing. I do think there is a massive over reaction to its usefulness, but it is a powerful tool to have, nevertheless.
