To the extent that posts like these evolve into discussing the merits of Make as a task runner, I would like to offer my tool for review:

I built it to feel like make, but be better at managing tasks and wrappers.

If you are evaluating task runners and appreciate the simplicity of Make's syntax, I hope you'll give Run a try.

At the end of last year I decided I would look for a new job at the beginning of this year, but I think I have to put it off for a while. The big companies, who just laid off thousands, probably aren't to eager to hire me right now and the rest of the market is flooded with people with better CVs than me (because theirs say Google or Microsoft or something like that). Is that correct? Should I wait half a year or so?
There was no potential for conviction here. They were barred from suing the judge and police officers civilly for damages. Qualified immunity only applies to civil matters.
Yeah, I didn't really doubt that you where genuine. It would have been less open to misinterpretation if you'd mentioned having posted previously or including details of the timeline in the original post is all.
I worked on a project in X, and we moved from the main campus to The Rails. Not to claim we deserved more space, but we often had a bunch of hardware on our desks and so the norm was for an L shape. A week before the move, I went by to check the new desk setup. The contractors had messed up the spacing, and every row of cubes had about 6" of extra space, except for the last row with my desk. My row had about 3' less space, and you literally had to do a slalom to get to my desk. Thankfully they were able to mostly fix it...

Most of these inventions don't live up to their initial hype, but some do find a niche (for example cell chemistry optimized for large temperature ranges, optimized for certain safety features, longevity over charge density etc.), and ideas from some of them find their way into mainstream batteries after a decade or two.

It basically never happens that a new cell chemistry becomes the market leader in all areas, but all in all, batteries to get better and cheaper at a remarkable rate.
I remember reading paypalsucks.com around that time, closing our accounts and never looking back. It's sad that nothing has been fixed, a total failure of government, but if there was someone standing on the same street corner selling poisoned snake oil for 20 years with a pile of dead bodies all around them each clutching a bottle of the scammers poison, you'd think that at least after the first decade people in the neighborhood would learn to stay away.

Examples of paypal being shitty abound. Why do people keep falling for it?
The reason people are so protective of their prompts is because using the same prompt with the same settings will always generate the exact same image even on a different computer.

In fact, automatic1111 gui had previously introduced a now fixed bug where old prompts no longer generated the same images: https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/disc...

Can't concur with many for the things you said.

Most of your issues seem to stem from the fact that you use Windows for dev work instead of WSL2, or that Windows components like PowerShell are different than the equivalent Options fromkther OSs, which doesn't make them bad per se. WSL is what you want.

And who even uses a third party antivirus these days? Those mostly died off with the rise of Windows Defender during the Windows 7 days. I feel your comment is based on experiences from the past rather than the present day.

Also, I have not noticed any bugs.
man-made horrors beyond your comprehension, that's how.
You're right, which is why I added more factors in my original comment:

I guarantee you that if your application process requires a cover letter, and will not proceed until you upload one, you will probably lose a fraction of applicants.

You can ask them to put the string "xyzzy" in the cover letter as a screening measure. This will almost certainly curtail the bulk of applicants.

The basic idea: Add enough friction to the application process so you'll get higher quality candidates. This is trivial to do.
I canceled PayPal after 20 years the day they put out the TOS change to deduct $2500 from customer accounts for posting misinformation.

They subsequently claimed it wasn’t intended to be their policy. And then they said oh yeah it actually is our policy.

Isn't this is the actual issue? HR doesn't have to be upheld to the sixth amendment.

If someone makes a complaint about me at work, I don't exactly have the right to know my accuser. The issue is that the people that now make up these corporations and various education administrations don't care about these protections people are granted when dealing with the federal government.

Maybe they should be? That would be an extremely hard legal argument to make, that would go up against the first amendment and the idea of freedom of association.

Not OP, but for me, it's the isolation. I wouldn't quite call it miserable unless I can't go out. I lasted only a few days into WFH for COVID before I went to live with my parents until I was forced back to the office. Just a few weeks ago I was snowed in for a week and I was about to crawl up the walls.

Getting beat by other inmates is part of the “at the whim of those in charge” comment I made. The government can provide enough resources to largely prevent this type of violence from being common but chooses not pay to do so. It’s part of what makes our jails hellish in some cases.
Facebook, Google, Twitter and other ad/attention companies are just the modern day Philip Morris. Sure they do nice things on the side, but they finance those things by selling addiction. Make your own ethical and moral judgments on those facts, but they are the facts
Absurd statement in the context of chat/e-mail support. Of course you're not gonna get to see what the staff looks like. And no customer ever became happier nor felt more "connected" with the advent of first-name basis support staff in chat/e-mail instead of anonymous styled "you're talking with Support, how can I help you?", just like no customer is ever impressed with sales people gussying them up by repeating their name during conversation. It's just product packaging, not a support quality bump.
I worked on a WiFi multicast video streaming solution and while it theoretically works as well and is as easy as you describe in practice it can be a complete nightmare.

Full disclosure this was a few years ago so things may have improved. I also can’t remember all of the specifics but there was a lot of low-level driver work, firmware tweaks, specific configurations of just about every WiFi param you can think of, etc.
We've banned this account for repeatedly breaking the site guidelines and using HN for flamewar and ideological battle. Those things aren't allowed here, regardless of how wrong other people are or you feel they are.

This has worked for most devices for a long time, e.g. the 12yo Motorola Defy I use as 'dangerous work device' supports it and works with both keyboard, pointing devices as well as more odd things like a borescope camera.
There are four kinds of assignment, the first applies to recursive variable flavors, the rest to simple ones. It's maybe something to learn, but why is this a bad thing?

Once charging/discharge times come down, trickery can be used to turn 1000 into 10,000 cycles easily. If you can charge fast, you can isolate cells alto charge/discharge them individually, only jumping to other cells once the first is full. Essentially, it's wear leveling of batteries as done with flash memory. At the moment individual cells cannot charge/discharge fast enough to fully enable this.

Over the years, marketing networks have been infiltrated by hackers who manipulate ads to spread malware. Since the ads were served through a host of web pages, the attackers could do damage to a victim’s computers in minutes. With an ad blocker, though, you can prevent this situation from happening to you.
Kerosene contains 10 kWh of potential energy per liter (about 800g). So yes you’d need 3kg of kerosene to provide 24kWh of energy. But that is heat energy.

An efficient gasoline generator produces 1.7kWh per liter. So for 24kWh, you’d need to consume 14L of gasoline and also carry around the generator. I would personally prefer the battery option.
The docs mention GPT3.5 integration... how is this possible? OpenAI's API suite only supports v3.
You also can’t report the spam requests via PayPayl’s UI. I received one of those requests, and the only way I could report the spam was via an email. PayPal is garbage.
Yes, there are some facts, but you should learn the difference between opinions and conclusions.

I opened an eBay account and sold an item, buyer immediately canceled. eBay asked me to add a bank account again (it was already registered) even though the money was still held by eBay. Website would not let me add the bank account so eBay told the buyer to open a case, which was immediately settled in his favour, as expected. A few days later, on Christmas day, they banned me from selling. But kindly allowed me to continue buying. Fuck eBay.
I LOVE this! As someone who tells EVERYONE to take a night train to save precious time during daylight hours for walking around a destination and not staring out of a window wishing you could, this is a great tool.

So often people online tell me such-and-such night train route is no longer in service (my first trip was almost 30 years ago now, so many of my night train memories stem from an earlier era). But now i can actually see and point to something with night train routes people can take advantage of.

Also, as someone who is building a Europe Travel planning web app, this is also a great resource to link to for train travel.

Thanks for posting/making this.

From the article, now, this air battery is only vapor.
Your quote isn't from the article but a link in a post by kyoob (currently below this) that you aren't even replying to (were you so eager to beat hn's post throttling you put this on the main thread?). Kyoob's post already acknowledges this is also a poverty issue so your complaint seems a bit off the topic at hand.
Sometimes maybe, I can see that here. But a lot of the times its people pushing their flashy developer product, where the reason to, lets say, overlook Emacs is even more obvious.
I wrote and posted on HN about my experience taking a home warranty company to arbitration a few months ago. My experience was the same as this lawyers and IANAL. The company settled immediately for almost all that I asked for and paid the arbitration cost.

There are legitimate reasons companies pushed for arbitrtion. Namely streamlining and keeping away frivolous lawsuits, but there's the side bonus (for them) of scaring people away. Like that author described, companies make arbitration out to be this big, scary, unwinnable process, but it's really not like that at all.
How are any of the Ubuntu moves with Snap in the spirit of open source? I notice that Pop!OS installs flatpak but I didn't realise they weren't considered an "official" variant of Ubuntu, so perhaps it will continue doing that.

The Register article is overly kind about this, I appreciate the "news not editorial" flavour but the real story is that Ubuntu apparently consider themselves apart from the community that makes their software and they should now be consigned to history by that community. Off to uninstall it in my network now.
Respectfully disagree - I can see it having a big impact. It cuts their office space requirements roughly in half, which could mean reduced rent, more teams in the same amount of space (real estate runway), or potentially leasing out the extra space.

Difficult to pull those off in the short term, but this could be the start of a bigger plan.
Where did the open source touch you?
Looking for feedback from HN community:

I am starting a SaaS startup that could enable startups to raise funds from investors, globally. The platform will enable startups to update their cash flow, growth rate, DAU, MRR, pitch-deck etc. and share it with investors in the platform.

Investors on the hand, could find promising startups across the globe, track their progress and invest in the ones that meet their criteria.

This is currently in idea stage and I am keen to hear your opinion about the idea. May I kindly request you to check our offerings at https://www.konnectt.net and share your feedback? If you find this interesting, kindly join our waitlist so we can let you know as soon as we launch.

I wonder if it’s TikTok vs ByteDance. From my friend at the former, they are growing rapidly and understaffed vs the teams in China which are bloated and looking for projects. Also seems like they may need to sever the corporate structure and tech architecture which may also reduce the need for headcount in China.

> It looks like 1kg (2 pounds) of [unwashed?] poppy seeds are addictive but not lethal.

No, that isn't what the cited reference says. Poppy seeds are neither addictive nor lethal.

> How many poppy seeds does bread/desert have? 5%? 10%? You must eat like 10Kg (20 pounds). A normal person eats like 1kg of food per day. Also a reputable bakery will use wash

No. See above.

> Also a reputable bakery will use washed-but-not-perfectly-washed poppy seeds instead of unwashed poppy seeds

False. The contamination with poppy latex is not immediately apparent and not always labeled. The discovery of significant contamination—consistent with unwashed poppy seeds, in widely available commercial baked goods—is why we issued the Brady notice.
I'm not batting for either team here, but you just linked one of the PayPals of crypto - ie a company that holds onto your funds on your behalf. So it's not really a rebuttal to their comment.
I agree a "Probability 101" article shouldn't use sigma algebras. It definitely cuts off 99.9% of the people that might benefit from the article.

Not that sigma algebras don't have a place. If you are actually doing advanced things with martingales, sigma algebras are nice clean framework to express what you are doing.
Any recommendations for a good ad blocker and other precautions to take?
Obviously PayPal works for lots of businesses. Will just say though that any support/ account manager contacts you have in PayPal become useless when a walled off trust and safety team permanently suspend your account.
I came here to say the same thing.

I worked at a company where a smart manager got low profile cubes for the dev team. We were located in an area that had access to a host of large whiteboards, and large monitors for video conferencing. It was really great. If a dev ran into a problem, it was easy to ask for help. Then you could start working at a whiteboard a few feet from your desk.

Whether you were working something out alone or with some other dev, chances are within a few minutes several other devs were there working the problem out with you. I mean the collaboration was really cool and we blasted through so many bugs and bad code, it was really refreshing.

Likewise, we had a large portion of the floor dedicated to CSR folks. Again, some smart manager got them 7ft. high cubes so the noise the devs were making wouldn't interrupt what they were doing. They even had a few spare CSR cubes for anybody who really wanted to be heads down and working in absolute quiet.

I think the UK ex. London is beautiful. I'm in no hurry to go back to London, which I think is like something Dickens warned you about. I grew up in New Hampshire and my understanding is that the geological structure the White Mountains is part of has the other part in Ireland and the UK and I would love to hike there someday.

Also I am an admirer of many British Youtubers.

Anyhow there is nothing unique about it being hard to get help for mental health in the UK. It's bad in the US too.
> If we started that process today

But we're not, right? Not only are we not doing that, we're nowhere close to that? We're still on tracking to collect roughly the same in taxation (leaving loopholes open for corporations on purpose) and spending more than ever (growing every year).
This breaks the site guideline against insinuating astroturfing or shillage - would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html?

Btw I can assure you that there are plenty of legit HN users from the US among the ones making the arguments you're talking about.

Also, the implied assumption in your comment that HN is an American site is not a good one—HN is highly international. Last I checked, about 50% of the community was posting from US IP addresses. Users in other countries are just as much part of the community and just as welcome here.

Yes, but it can happen to well-to-do families too -- if someone thinks your medical routine seems suspicious, for instance, even if it has been recommended by a doctor.

This is funny. I'm curious how exactly you count an "elon". E.g. Google news shows no Elons, but that is for sure 100% wrong.

Also maybe you shouldn't be counting news aggregators like Google News? Its basically double counting since its already on some other site.
Paypal vs wire fees is often the choice, unfortunately. I earn residuals from a company that only allows those two options. But when the money lands in Paypal, I immediately transfer it out, and I've considered going with wires just out of pure paranoia. Amazing that Paypal chugs along even with its hideous reputation.
