When I was younger at my second job between 25-34, we all had more money than sense (not anywhere near what we can make today) and it was a combination of men and women. We were all single, hung out at each others house, went to strip clubs together (yes the women too) went on overnight trips at cabins together. But as we got older, and settle down, we became more of “coworkers”. I keep in touch with a couple of them once or twice a year.

At my third job between 2008-2012, I keep in touch with one guy that followed me across two more jobs until 2015. We try to meet along with one of my coworkers from my third job at least once per quarter.

I also met my second and current wife at my third job. But I can’t honestly say whether I would have tried dating her if I hadn’t known that the company we worked at was about to go under anyway.

I had a Slack group where I kept in touch with 5 of my coworkers from my 5th job between 2014-2016. But that died off.

When I go back to my home state, I am going to try to connect with my former CTO and a couple of other people from my 7th job (2018-2020). My former CTO reaches out to me every now and then and we talk. I owe him, he gave me a chance to lead their “cloud native initiatives” and hired me even though I had never opened the AWS console at the time. But he thought “I had some good ideas” even though he knew I had just watched a video and went through a certification training.

Now that I work remotely at AWS in the consulting department, there isn’t anyone I consider a “friend”, but one person who I worked with from the time they were an intern when I was their mentor.

The “team” I work with changes dynamically based on the project.
But bear is famously terrible
You're doubting the competence of the same government that's bringing Californians a bullet train, some day real soon now? Jeez, what a cynic.
Fascinating. They probably have some pretty good coping techniques, since ADHD medication is generally not allowed if you're going to be flying.
No, the comment you responded to and agreed with was referring to my “privileged” position of being able quit my job and live out of my car.

Whether or not it would solve burnout and whether it’s legal in the US are different and new arguments.

I’m justifying my original position that living within meager means isn’t “insane” or “privileged”. If you are only able to take off 8 months after saving for years, that has nothing to do with my ability to live frugally. I don’t gain privilege just because other people choose to take on excessive amounts of debt and/or live more expensive lifestyles than me.
> Because more monies.

See how many people are saying the pricing model is wrong? They won't get hooked on a sub because they'll never sign up.
I'm not normally a dissenting voice, but this demo was very irritating to me.
He spoke at my conference on Tuesday in Tampa and said "Autopilot is the equivalent of a drunk driver." I've never been happier.

Comcast has similar traffic caps for many of their plans. It's perfectly adequate for most typical users.
Wrap it up as a service and I'll give it a try; not a fan of writing code
Great question, I'd guess emulating it is within the capabilities of the device. (I don't know much about the Spectrum but just a guess based on age). Would those games work well on a controller?

The RG351 is really just an ARM Linux box inside a Gameboy shaped case, so it can really do pretty much whatever within the limits of its hardware. It's a really neat little device, I've been having lots of fun with mine. I've played mostly SNES and Gameboy stuff on it (that's where my nostalgia lies), but I've run a few PSP games on it with decent to middling results.
I have it setup to sync anywhere with wifi. I bought a domain and set it up to my IP using dyndns (I just have it running on my regular consumer internet, not a dedicated business line with a static IP). By wifi I mean any wifi with internet access. I could use it over LTE but I don't need to burn up all my data pushing backups.

I have it behind an apache service which is password protected and only accepts https. As well, it uses fail2ban. If you ever ran a web server, you'll know your server will get bot scans 247. These only occur on the root domain and direct IP, so I disabled all root/direct IP access and moved it to a subdomain. I've never had issues.

I use samba as well, but that's only because this server works as my NAS as well. I setup a dedicated DAV folder on the NAS directory and give it extreme user restrictions, just incase. It's just a nice central server to keep all my devices in sync.

Then, the university has already lost. Systemically its convinced itself that some of the core providers of its value are its enemy in some way, rather than a cooperative part of its being.

It's always been clear cut to me, the relationship between workers and owners: one tries to get the most work for the least money, and the other, the most money for the least work.

What's surprising is a university was happy to jump feet first right into that dynamic. That's really how it wants its relationship with its junior faculty to be? The ones that are ostensibly applying the university mission at ground level?
No offense, but it's amazing to me the appeal of something like this wouldn't be clearly evident given the time it was released. That game and other similar QTE types of that era give me chills whenever I see one in an arcade still. It seemed like something out of the future. It's one of those things of that era so vibrant that it goes hand in hand with things like ET or Thriller as being especially exciting and memorable.

Part of it was the Secret of Nimh connection... unsure if the film was a huge success, but it definitely left a mark on that period of time. To have a game in that animation style, with a hilarious premise, incredible sound system, etc, was a complete sensory overload against the pixellated mess that surrounded it.

I remember seeing it the first time during summer of '83 on a family trip to Vegas. They carved out a section with a platform in the middle arcade at the Flamingo Hilton, there must have been 50 people just watching whomever was playing it.

From what I recall it was also the first game to cost 50 cents, and you would have to wait an hour or more in line for the honor maybe during the first few months if your arcade was so lucky to have a machine. I remember the first I was able to play it without waiting, must have been around Christmas that year.
Definitely could if you're more technical (not our customer segment). Also want to note that receiver can either keep funds in Fortress or just route to their usual bank account.
9k for a rebuilt Toyota 2f designed in to 50s & meant for a measly ground vehicle. 30k seems about right for an airplane. What do you do for a living? Why don’t you do it for less?
I keep it because it's worked for 30 years without issues and it's still working. Must you always replace something, just because a newer thing is "out there"? On the other hand, this is hackernews, and rewriting everything, from a text editor to a file browser, into a <language of the week> (ruby, go, rust,...) is a thing.
> There's no excuses for these programs not respecting standards that are 1. Well established by the time the software was written and 2. short

This isn't a standard, it's a convention at best. A freedesktop.org specification. Basically a scheme Red Hat people thought up and implemented widely in the open source software projects they control. It may be a useful abstraction but there's absolutely no obligation to conform to it. There doesn't have to be an "excuse" or any form of justification at all. "I just don't like it" is enough. I don't like those unsightly XDG variables either and it's entirely within my power as a software developer to trash the entire concept of XDG and do things in any way I see fit.

> freedesktop.org produces specifications for interoperability, but we are not an official standards body.

> There is no requirement for projects to implement all of these specifications, nor certification.

I struggle to see what the issue is with ~/.programName ?
Perhaps your assumption that all "mid level developers" make FAANG income is a bit inaccurate? There are tens of thousands of developers across the US not making big bucks. And to be in the 1%, you need to be making north of $800K. The company I work for employees roughly 100 developers, and not one of them makes more than $150K (we don't award RSUs either).
The RIFs I've been through did a good job culling the deadwood and quiet quitters. Everybody knew who they were.

Of course, every company is different.
If I were to use a mental analogy with numerical methods that you get taught in grad school, isn't this kind of just a problem of identifying where poles are in your functions?

If you're cycling through all possible numbers and seeing where the output might blow up or go pathological, you probably instead (to be efficient about it) test the far limits of the input number range, and then sample the internal space with an adaptive spacing to see where things are changing and whether it's about to go crazy somewhere. Like divide by zero, subtract 2 small numbers etc.? Or analyze the function to see where subtraction (or whatever operation is applicable here) might misbehave? Rather than spend all your compute equally sampling every possible number.

I'm no expert but it seems to be the same type of problem.
The game's video was full motion NTSC video. It played off a LaserDisc inside the cabinet. Because LaserDiscs have direct access capabilities, when the game needed to play a scene it was just giving the player a time index to play. The logic of the game was keeping track of the current playhead and was expecting certain input at certain timestamps, some element on the screen or the action button would flash and you'd have a fraction of a second to hit the button or the joystick in the right direction. If you didn't you died and the game played one of the many death animations.

It was...fun in that it was a gorgeous game compared to other games in the arcade. Unfortunately it usually cost like a dollar in quarters for a single play. You only had two or three lives (I can't remember exactly) and the reaction time was very brief and unforgiving.

This was a time when the typical arcade game was a quarter for a few lives and if you were good you could get tens of minutes (or more) of play out of a quarter. It wasn't until years later with the home release that I even saw even halfway through the game. I've never once seen anyone get further than a quarter of the way through the game in an adcade.
Nobody is forcing anyone to shout racist nonsense on public forums. If you don’t want social consequences, then don’t pick up the veritable megaphone that is social media. We can easily live our lives without declaring our stance on everything ever and shouting them on social media platforms. Don’t say anything you can’t openly stand behind.

We make those decisions sometimes hundreds of times a day when dealing face to face with people. We self-censor every day with our family and various social groups to avoid social and professional consequences. I don’t understand why that is so hard to translate when we go online.
Right now it's an open question. But they realized fairly soon that chess was a matter of minimax plus expert heuristics plus brute force. It was pretty clear that it was more effective than an expert system approach, which remained viable for another few decades.
And even worse than that, there's a good chance that most of the grad students being charged for "tuition" in this case aren't even taking any courses for most of the semesters they're in grad school. I have no doubt some of these students are being charged huge tuition bills without being enrolled in a single course.
I love Mailspring, it's modern and open source: https://getmailspring.com/

The UI uses Electron, but the actual sync engine is in C++, so it's pretty fast.

A bit unfair of you to just plainly state how to circumvent their protection in the comments.
> Next, what's to say that a model can't "build theory", as hypothesized in this article

Well for one thing it would stop being a language model; I used that term very deliberately. It would be a different kind of model, not one that (AFAIK) we know how to build yet.

It was apparently a Boston Pizza thing. Not hanging out that much in Canada, I'd never heard of Boston Pizza until recently. But it was obvious immediately that 1) While Boston Pizza seems to be based on Greek style pizza from my native New England, it has drifted enough that it's not really that similar, and 2) People generally find Boston Pizza to be poor based on the reviews.
I mean, look at what the pro-German Norwegian government did during Nazi occupation? You can't escape this stuff. It's wild.

Also, petro states like Norway caused global warming and ultimately history will find them culpable for mass death.

Tell HN: I'm on a cross-continent flight using AR glasses
A few weeks ago I got my hands on a pair of AR glasses after reading about them here on HN, the ones that are like sunglasses with a semi-transparent LED screen. They promise to be a big screen experience on-the-go.

So, I gave them a shot at home first and they actually exceeded my expectations. But, let's be real, but it felt like a gimmick in a home office environment.

But, my cross-continent flight was the perfect opportunity to put these babies to the test. I brought my trusty wireless keyboard and mouse along for the ride and here's what I found:

The Good:

- If you're like me and used to working on monitors, these glasses are definitely a step up from using a laptop while traveling.
- There's definitely some potential in this technology.

The Not-So-Good:

- The display quality is just okay, nothing too impressive and led to eye fatigue only after a few minutes.
- The lack of head tracking can be a bit disorienting.
- The wires and keyboard/mouse setup isn't exactly sleek. A wireless option will be needed.

All in all, I think the technology still has a ways to go but in the next few years, it could really mature and open up some cool new opportunities.

Going to put them down now as my eyes are hurting though.

Is anyone using those on a day to day basis?
Oh hey this is literally me. Started working remote in 2015 and really upped my salary in 2020 working for AWS remotely and then moved to an actual good company. Never had to move to California or Washington.

Gurgle, gurgle, blech, blarrrrrgh! (vomited).

I know that my, ahem, negative disposition towards frying and eating giant spiders is entirely cultural, but I can't help it: I find it disgusting.

In case you're wondering, this is about frying and eating big meaty spiders that look like tarantulas, not tiny little ones with hair-thin legs that might dissolve into an unrecognizable soupy mush. You will definitely see these big f-ckers as you eat them. I mean, if you're courageous enough to eat them.

The Wikipedia photo reminds me of the infamous dining scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.[a]

I agree with this guy to the point that it depends on the use case. If i’m writing something in a general purpose language I 100% avoid regex. Why? My brain has to switch contexts from something I know well to something arguably more efficient. To me that breaks the flow and I don’t need any help with that.

Where it makes sense to me is for instance ISS rewrite rules.

Just my 2 cents.
ok let's dream a little bit

Let’s start with the pay, then move to the benefits, and then move on to their Sunnyvale, CA location for many of the software jobs. Not saying it’s for everyone. But there are a lot of software layoffs and they are definitely hiring at competitive pay/benefits. Every Fortune 500 company is a tech company now.
I'm a Reddit moderator of a medium-sized sub. We're talking more than 100k, but less than 300k.

The amount of bullshit we need to filter out is tremendous. There's constant spam every day, and it's hard to catch all of it. We allow self promotions of original content, but only once per account and per topic, otherwise the whole sub turns into a spammy, boring mess. Automoderator helps, but Reddit does not. All of our content is in a different language and Reddit either ignores most spam or overreacts on a report and bans a user who was using local lingo to perform a joke. There is no in-between. The seniority of anyone's account doesn't mean a thing to Reddit. A simple botched GoogleTranslate-like action on a comment can get you banned fully from the platform, even as a moderator.

Do we delete discussions? Yes, yes we do, when the situation calls for it. You don't get to cause a ruckus or ad-hoc insult people. You also don't get to spread rumors, obvious disinformation and pseudo-science. Save it for FB. You also don't get to threaten anyone or claim person X is of lower value due to their nationality, creed or religion. If there is too much content related to one topic, we'll delete your post and ask you to join the already submitted one. If we sense that your tone is causing a flame war, we'll nuke the whole thread. It's called moderation, not free speech. Banning is a last resort. If you feel we've wronged you, you can always send us a polite message explaining what's up. If you feel we suck, there's always the option to create a different subreddit.

Why do I do this? I normally wouldn't, but this subreddit is very important to me because it's one of the last few places left to freely discuss about the politics and daily life of a certain geographical region we live in. Homegrown forums are no longer easily visible on Google, cost money to host and have a worse interface. Facebook groups can't fill the void because people's full names are visible. So, in spite of the government crackdown on dissenting opinions, we somehow thrive under anonymity. Do people curse us? Hell yes, some do. In fact, people from HN on here are somehow managing to act holier than thou and paint us as power hungry basement dwellers. Fun.

I'll let you know, I would rather not deal with your shit and would rather do something else, but for now it's my moral duty to stick to what I'm doing and put in all the effort I can to ensure a safe, free zone for discussion.

But at some point, most moderators will leave. We can get banned just as easily as our users, there is little to no protection awarded to us, people hate us for deleting their content and then they try and dox or attack us. And now you get what you asked for: fully automated moderation. A poorly made translation layer pushing content to an ML trained dataset indicating whether something is hate speech or a threat, overseen by underpaid 3rd world workers who will eject you from the whole platform at their leisure.
It's definitely useful as a benchmark: it's the fastest, most streamlined task wrangling - and generally, tree-wrangling - UX I've seen so far, seemingly ahead of structured editing tools for Lisp like Paredit, though I'd have to play with Todool to be sure. If its existence generates enough pressure on more mainstream tooling to improve its ergonomics, that'll already be a huge win for the entire space.
Oracle BI has this separation in the RDP layer. So there is some history of BI tools separating out that layer but the separation doesn't have to result in giving up control. It's more of an organizational decision. Although it's probably not advisable to have wide open access to the semantic layer to the same users creating dashboards, as things can quickly get overcomplicated and hard to maintain.
Eh, from the rest of the thread I don't think these 133t HN readers are the target audience anyway.
This person actually has a lot of interesting projects!
Right, but limited supply doesn't have to mean raising prices. That decision is done by management and business owners. It's not an automatic kind of outcome, but a deliberate one.
Probably in minority here; I currently work remote, but miss going to the office. Will consider non-remote roles in the future.
Compliance was our final hurdle to begin our PVT build so... soon!
Given that some are arguing that we open the definition of violence to include things beyond what society has traditionally thought of it to be (punching people in the face) to society's detriment imo, how do you feel about the statement "removing healthcare is violence?"

Can you think of other forms of similar violence that may sit well with you? Some might argue that a strike itself is a form of violence against profits.

Imo once healthcare is touched, which I do agree is a form of violence to remove, the strikers should absolutely respond in kind, by escalating the strike to slow some other part of the operation, perhaps by disrupting deliveries, switching off power to things, whatever else.
> Currently, they are on strike, so tuition remissions cannot be issued.

That's... not how tuition remissions work. The remission would have been issued before the semester starts (as tuition bills are generally do at the very beginning of the semester).

You're also putting a lot of faith in an entity that goes to considerable effort to monetarily punish people for striking [1] is going to be willing, out of the kindness of its heart, to go through that effort again to reward people for no longer striking. I do not think it wise to rely on that faith.

[1] This is basically retroactive actions in terms of finance, not to mention that this probably causes issues for grants that are supposed to be used for tuition remissions no longer being used for this.
Any company that states that an employee left "in bad standing" either has an idiot for counsel, or poor HR practices. Providing any information other than employment dates opens you up for lawsuits.
I, too, thought it couldn't be done. But it can. All that's needed is to annotate a function with @live, which turns on OB for that function. This makes it completely compatible with existing code.

The neato thing is it's not necessary to learn a new language, new syntax, throw everything you have away, etc.
People mostly care about app launch performance for productivity tasks. It was the norm for many years for budget Android devices that were a year old to wipe the floor on those tests with the latest, most powerful iPhone due to how poorly optimized iOS was. iPhone might have caught up since then.
