An old friend of mine in his late 70s who ran several software businesses is starting to experience vision deterioration. Of what type, I don't know, but it's interfering with his ability to do any kind of computer work. It really drove home for me that in the long run we're all disabled.

I have a bit set to try to learn how to use Emacspeak so I at least have a plan B for if/when my vision goes to the dumper -- or I lose it completely.
Yes, understand what the parent is putting forward is a fringe theory. Some schools of economics like Austrian economics are obsessed with the money supply and ignore other factors that clearly matter a lot.
I would guess it's the fact that the farther side looks brighter than the nearer side. Animated 3D rotation without any shading or shadow always throws me off for a second.

If the inside of the globe is slightly opaque, dimming the farther side proportionally, it might make it easier.

On some level, the author recognizes that whole set of preferences is completely unreasonable - that’s the point of listing them all out like that. But you can also see that whole set of preferences is necessary and functional to survive a dating app - she states it produced 100 potential suitors. 99% of women across 99% of history wouldn’t have had 100 potential suitors across their entire life. Hence why I quoted that final paragraph, it neatly encapsulates the problem: “I applied unreasonably picky standards and still found 100 men”.

The division in society is between the classes of people who live off their capital and people who live off their labour. These two groups of people have contradictory interests. People who own capital want to pay workers as little as possible and provide them with as few benefits as possible in order to maximize their profits. Meanwhile, the workers want to get compensated as much as possible, to get the best benefits they can, and to have time off. This is the class contradiction of the capitalist society.

In capitalist society, providing it develops under the most favorable conditions, we have a more or less complete democracy in the democratic republic. But this democracy is always hemmed in by the narrow limits set by capitalist exploitation and consequently always remains, in effect, a democracy for the minority, only for the propertied classes, only for the rich. Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in the ancient Greek republics: freedom for the slave owners. Owing to the conditions of capitalist exploitation, the modern wage slaves are so crushed by want and poverty that “they cannot be bothered with democracy,” “cannot be bothered with politics”; in the ordinary, peaceful course of events, the majority of the population is debarred from participation in public and political life.

And this is precisely what the analysis of US government policy shows. US has a government by the rich and for the rich.
I don't understand this attitude. It's clearly more conducive to solving problems to be able to move around our environment more quickly. It's extremely useful (compared to a beginner who only knows insert and write quit) to understand the different vim modalities as well as a few commands to jump around a file or to perform regex or to call an external command.

When you're not proficient with the necessary tools, you're interrupting your flow with what you consider mundane. That you consider text editors mundane is more reason to move as much of that process into muscle memory as possible, not less!

Why are we pretending like mastery of our tools is unimportant? I hear this sort of opinion most eagerly expressed by engineers who in fact are quite handy with vim! Is this some new kind of flex where we're all pretending to take a purely academic approach to programming instead of becoming proficient with the tools of our trade?

It's kind of weird to read about "learning" VIM, at least from someone who's been using it (er VI) for 40 years.

It's nuts, but if asked, I don't even know how to do certain things in VI; I just do them. Ask me what keys to press to go up, or down, or right or left? I dunno - I just do it. Yea it's nuts. It's like baby duckling bonding - the first editor mindset (aka EMACS vs VI) you use, you just bond to and it just is natural. Not better, just natural.

At the same time, I don't utilize it to its full strength. I probably do things that seem laborious to some, but no big deal to me.
As a coffee lover, I've spent decades and thousands of dollars on expensive equipment in the search for the perfect cup.

>If buyers are willing to pay $80 for a barrel of oil, must BP ask for $80 and not a cent less? Of course not. You may claim they are right to do so, but don’t pretend they have no choice and therefore no blame if there are ill effects to such pricing.

Since we're talking about commodities, prices are most likely set by bids/asks from all participants, rather than your model of a shopkeeper deciding what to write on price tags. If the current bid/ask for crude is at $90/$91, then there's no reason why BP should sell their oil at $80. Doing so would just end up giving $10 worth of value to whomever accepts BP's offer. In fact, you can even make it a business, by beating everyone else to the punch, buying oil at $80, then selling it back to the market at $90. The only way to avoid this is to sell the oil at market prices.

The “Twitter hasn’t paid its Slack bill” is just a jab at Musk. I’m fairly certain that it would revert to a free plan and not just go down. The bigger question, which it sounds like Verge wasn’t able to answer, is the motivation for intentionally turning it off.

Not that it’s helpful to employees looking for past messages, but a complete data dump of all of Slack prior to Musk’s arrival must exist — isn’t that what they needed to do all those Twitter Files screeds?

I'd bet that the only time most people (who aren't self-employed) feel really appreciated at their job is after a promotion or significant, out-of-cycle raise.
"Keep an eye on it" yeah that was my complaint... but I'll admit, boiling the water first should shorten it up. The only risk there is letting a pot boil dry. I was absentminded in mornings before I had a kid. Now I've gotta be on top of coffee and another disagreeable human's routine as well. Adding more steps is never the answer. Cold concentrate with a dash of lime juice is my fancy.

They are given a tremendous amount of generosity. Once they are in the GC process, they can extend their H1B indefinitely, something that wasn't available when I got my GC. The spouses are eligible for an EAD, meaning they can work whatever job they want. They have 60 days to find a new job. They can buy houses, they can job hop, they have a lot of flexibility considering that they aren't citizens.

There isn't a single Indian H1B holder that doesn't know they need to be here 15+ years to get their GC and if they get laid off, they need to find a job quickly. And yet, they still gamble on it. Very often they win and get their GC. Sometimes they lose and they have to go back to India. It sucks, but they signed up for it. The US doesn't owe them any sort of guarantee besides the flexibility and generosity that they already give them.
I had a "hire me" link on my newsletter for a while (I recently took it down, because I am not available for the next few months). It seemed to be a moderately good strategy; I got multiple offers quickly after I got laid off.

I highly recommend reading this post from Ben Kuhn on the how and why of keeping a blog. Rather than focusing on a niche, it gives great advice on finding things to write about. Maybe start out developing a style first, and see what niche develops naturally?

The post I replied to said it was the only reason, which is a load of bull. I explicitly said it’s a factor in a complex system.
I'm a little surprised at people here who claim to be classical music aficionados and yet haven't heard of him. I would have guessed it's hard to know enough to be able to name more than two or three classical violinists and not know who Bell is.

But I think that's beside the point, because I don't think the premise is that people "should" have recognized Bell as a celebrity. The naive hope is rather that people can recognize great art when they encounter it.
I feel like at a certain point of efficiency there are diminishing returns. A good analogy is typing speed. You don't need to have 200 wpm to be productive. Everybody adapts to how efficient they need to be at what they do. Vim is not a requirement for being productive. If it was, it would be the most popular editor. I also don't think the person you are replying to is saying that it isn't important to "master" your tools. I think they are just saying the editor that you use isn't the most important thing and I agree with that sentiment.
Ask HN: Found a leak of US citizens personal data. Should I report it?
Security research is my hobby.
Yesterday I found a pretty big (estimated at tens of thousands of records) data leak.
Full name, date of birth, mail, phone, address.
Nothing to do with the company.
The company in California, I'm in Canada.

It's a data operator its customers are other companies from different states in the US. Texas, California, Florida and others.

I don't think I have the right to download all the leaked data. But my several checks showed that all clients and end-user data is available.

What should I do about it?
Or you can get a $150 burr grinder and a $30 pour over/French press. Why even bother with a whole machine like that?

I once crossed the border from Canada with my Green Card, and was accused of not being the person that the GC was issued to. My jaw dropped because I had no way of proving that I was who I was besides all my identification, and that's when I realized how unfettered the power of CBP was. Sometimes they are assholes and bullies for no reason. He went away for a few minutes, and then came back and let me through but I still remember it to this day.

On the serve side, AWS Graviton3 and Ampere Altera are pushing server workloads to optimize for ARM.

On the consumer side, Apple Silicon is pushing the industry to optimize for ARM.

I think we will see a ton of companies switch to ARM workloads in the server as soon as this year. I can see AWS Graviton3 taking over 80% of all new EC2 instances. Graviton2 already took over 50% of all new EC2 instances in the year 2020. [0]

There's not much risk trying it at 5V. Low voltage may result in poor perfomance, but probably won't result in damage; although it's not technically impossible.

Higher voltage may result in damage, but if it won't run at 5v, or it runs poorly, and the baby monitor wasn't too expensive or hard to replace, I'd personally take the chance at 7v. But I'm just some internet person. You're unlikely to have an exciting failure at 15% over spec voltage if it normally runs from a wall wart; those things often don't have great voltage regulation, especially if they're runnig from iffy utility service anyway.

Nope, doesn’t seem that way, the world is reeling from a variety of economic shocks right now, from covid to the Ukraine war and resource-prices fallout.

“Printed the most money in history” is also one of those talking points that hides a massively complicated truth and doesn’t mean what people think it means. Soundbite economics (really soundbite anything) should be considered harmful.
"Due to the irregularities of climate change". I can't help but ask why the sentence couldn't have been worded -- "Due to the irregularities of weather". Climate has ALWAYS been irregular and will always be going forward. I mean was there once upon a time a generation of people who thrived year after year with constant and predictable weather. My reading of history says that climate catastrophes have struck since the beginning of time, virtually across the globe. Climate is generally predictable but never constant. I wish we could be honest about that. And from that place of honesty I'd be much more willing to discuss modern climate issues, and what if any effect we can have on it.
Anecdotally, that stat seems about right.

Why on earth would anyone from Google want to break the law and try to destroy evidence on behalf of Google? I highly doubt this happened the way that this article claims it happened. Google has hundreds of thousands of employees, the idea that there's a group of employees that are willing to go to jail on behalf of the company over something that is easily detected is ridiculous.
I wasn't laid off, but I quit about a month ago.

I have a few ideas. None are really monetizable, but I want to do them, so I am. Once I get them out of my system I'll probably go back to being an employee.

>” If a company is willing to pay above market rate even if the candidate can leave in 3 months, they are admitting that this job is not easy to fill locally.”

There’s more to it than ease of finding local talent. Hiring a citizen means you have to provide a whole host of employment benefits and follow more stringent labor laws meant to protect workers.

While it’s true the company has to pay more in salary, they often save money by not having to pay out as much in benefits. The company also gets increased flexibility and doesn’t have to worry as much about the process of ending their employment properly.

I don't think dating apps are designed to make women picky per se but they definitely end up distorting their perception and turn them into overly picky for sure.

This has always been the case with all dating apps from the start (except for maybe a few that tried to actively designed around it). This phenomenon emerges automatically from how dating platforms and people work:
1. men are expected to do the approach/first move (this is socially and evolutionary encoded in both sexes)
2. men initially put the bar somewhat lower and mostly care about looks at first (I'd say it makes a lot of sense, especially in online dating, but only if you disregard that the photos end up manipulated)
3. women (and also men) will start manipulating their photos. Even just selecting your best photos is manipulation. (I'm not saying it's wrong or unreasonable.)
4. men will do more approaches than IRL because it's cheap and safe and also can be done in parallel
5. women will receive a lot more approaches than IRL because men do more apporoaches

and this turns on the cycle:
6. women will feel that they have a lot higher desirability than what they were used to IRL/before starting to date online. They'll become picky, will feel higher status and start to be mean with some of the men who approach. Actually they don't have to be actively and explicitly mean, not being nice with the rejection is bad enough for men (see 7.). And being nice to all the unwanted approachers is hard. I mean it can be hard work so it's frustrating.
7. men will start to see that their efforts don't pay off. I mean it will pay off for the top say 5-20% but not for the others. So they get frustrated and try to further minimize the investment in each approach
8. this makes women feel even worse about all the unwanted approaches and they'll be even less considerate about those who they don't want (while porbably increasing the bar). They'll start complaining and putting stupid requirements (messages, really) on their profile, like the usual "those who do X and are Y need not bother to swipe right", etc.
9. this further frustrates men

etc. The cycle is on. Online dating, at least the naive approches, don't work because it makes the wrong thing easy and efficient. (And yes, due to the business models of these platforms they are not motivated to solve the issue. After all, the more users they have the better it is for them. They are getting paid for keeping people on the platform and not getting them off i.e. hook them up.)

I didn't know that. Shit, maybe they did just grab a Canon and go up there.
Yes my problem with helix is when the keystrokes that are muscle memory in Vim don't have any actions in helix this makes it problematic to move to helix

over moving to neovim for example neovim retains most if not all the vi keystrokes not just out of respect to the vi authors

No neovim is much better and easier and retains most of the vi keystrokes while helix breaks some common vi keystrokes

Desktop environments? I don't understand this point at all.

By "should" are you critiquing the author, or do you not think it's easy for some reason?
We will have to disagree. Forget about the inhumanity in letting someone build up a life and become part of the community for over a decade, and then kicking them out. The US owes its own people to not be giving employers even more negotiating power in setting labor prices by having access to labor they have even more leverage over.

This policy favors no one other than employers who want lower wages. If the US government was not so short sighted, it would be soaking up as much educated and productive labor as it could in the face of declining fertility rates.
