Beware of the "appeal to nature" fallacy [1]. You are right that exercising and going outside have been experimentally demonstrated to improve mood, but there is no such thing as "your natural state", and even if you arbitrarily pick some definition, there is nothing inherently good about it. Is agriculture "unnatural"?

The "we're not designed for the current speed of change" argument has also been made many times 2 centuries ago, for example with claims that the unnatural speed of train travel drives people insane. [2] Such claims are hilarious in retrospect. In 200 years, what will people think of your comment?

He's right in the general case (house numbers are guaranteed unique within postcodes, so that's the minimal set of information that makes something deliverable).

Strategic Objective 3.3 is my dream.

If a building collapses due to poor design the civil engineer who stamped off on the design is liable. If it collapses due to poor construction the contractor is liable.

When doctors screw up they may get sued, lose their license, and/or go to jail. When civil engineers screw up they may get sued, lose their license, and/or go to jail. When truck drivers screw up they may get sued, lose their license, and/or go to jail.

If a hair dresser screws up and nicks a customer's ear, he or she can lose their ability to ever cut hair again. If a liquor store sells to minors they can lose their liquor license and/or go to jail.

For some reason when programmers screw up they point at the EULA and say "lol get fucked" and then complain about how "programming is sooooooo hard and complicated" when any form of professional liability is proposed.

With software and related services, if an engineer uploads everyone's information to a publicly accessible S3 bucket and everyone's shit gets stolen "LoL our bad here's three months of credit monitoring and a settlement check for $22.43 two years after the fact".

"Your negligence and utter disregard for industry standard best practices led to tens of thousands of dollars in damages..." THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND... "but you fucked up the lives of hundreds of thousands of people" THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS”, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.. "you can't just keep repeating that like a magical incantation" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED... here's a check for $20 go away.

Too bad 3.3 will never happen in a million years...

But that's not a real conversation between a group of actual humans. Nobody talks about easily checkable facts.

An actual group conversation I had last week:

- Remember early 2000s when that team had that insane defense?

- Yeah, what was that other team they lost against one time for that other tournament?

- X team. Yeah back when PlayerX was still playing. Remember that guy?

- Ah yeah. Lol, remember that time that dude posted a picture of his fridge with his pictures on the beach printed on the panels?

- What? I need to see that.

*checks phone*
*shows it around*

[conversation goes on for another hour about the logistics of getting your pictures printed on the panels of a refrigerator]

just checking something gives you something to keep the chat going.
> This is businesses reacting to activist investors and trying to quash workers asking for better compensation.

I feel like you're saying this with a negative connotation. Isn't that what the business is supposed to do? Run more efficiently, cut excess bureaucracy, make more profits?
> you don't get to decide what "social good" is, especially in this case. People get to choose what is good for them

Ask HN: Do you have rituals to create psychological safety in your team?
I came across a interesting Twitter thread recently (this: https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1221260189921202176 ) that discussed the use of a specific lexicon to foster psychological safety during a pre-mortem project analysis ritual, allowing members of the team to openly and comfortably discuss challenging topics. IMHO this is a requirement for creating high-performing teams that continue to take risks and innovate despite failure.

Which rituals (if any) did you, or the leadership, introduce to foster psychological safety and increase risk taking tolerance of your team? If you don't have rituals, what else is it working for you?

> Like piracy? It's ilegal and fines are often hefty so shouldn't it deter people from pirating movies or downloading roms etc?

Yes, and it mostly works! Bans on piracy work well already, most people don't torrent games or movies. And locked down platforms exist, demonstrating the technical feasibility of even greater control. Software piracy in particular is much more difficult on the sort of computers that manufactures deliberately design to be locked down, like modern video game consoles and iOS devices. It is still possible, but has been made sufficiently difficult to stop the majority of the population from doing it.
A surprising amount of that "grime" is rubber dust from tires. The exhaust helps in getting the items a bit "sticky" and then dust and dirt clings much easier to it.
C++ allows you to override the constness of everything internally by defining a member variable as `mutable`.
not a fp vs oo thing but more generally, in fp time made proper shortcuts possible (automatic currying, compositions abstractions) while oo has zero care for syntactic ergonomy, it's one big pain point imo

the other point is the features of oo don't either help for modularity (it protects but doesn't help) nor logical mechanics, there should be a way to freely encode what is a valid object state, what transitions are allowed or not, without manually bolting a protocol on every methods (or requiring metaclasses / metaobjects)
He is a professional actor - so there's that.

On a more serious note though I'd also like to know. I never paid attention what Hollywood actors do in their spare time, but it's well known around the world that there are politicians and lobby groups pushing for authoritarian measures under the guise of doing it "to protect the children".
The Trial of Genaro García Luna
> Rather than an anomaly, then, the dynamics of the drug trade mean that there will always be García Lunas because they are a necessary figure for both criminals and the government. The intermediation offered by “corrupt” actors allows for backchannel management of illicit activity that provides tangible benefits. Indeed, this reality shapes popular perception and persistent cynicism: García Luna’s guilt was long assumed even as the precise nature of his corruption remained a mystery.

I wish it was that easy... this doesn't account for the dynamics of the job market, the particular niche of Web programming and the perverse incentives created by head-hunters.

Much in the same way how programmers (and many others) are scared of "gaps" in their resumes (and will thus accept a job even if their finances would otherwise allow them to extend the job search further, creating more leverage on the employers), Web-programmers, specifically, will be vary today of putting, say, Mootools on their resume (because, oh the horror, I think it's like a decade old tech!). In the very same way programmers, especially in popular fields, like the Web, are compelled to follow group trends more than in less popular ones (eg. HPC).

Specifically, in the case of Web programmers, this has an additional side of creating a lot of bloat for no reason other than following fashion. Similar dynamics exist (or used to?) in the world of Java, where you have to (had to?) know about EE and Spring (which are huge and bloated frameworks, most probably don't need to use to get the work done, but were made a staple of Java programming due to fashion).

Fresh is using esbuild to build the bundles at runtime instead of pre-deployment. So it rebuilds the bundles everytime a new process starts up and keeps copies of those files in memory for each process.
Yes, I'm just saying that it's not accurate that "TAI doesn't change". It has notably and significantly changed a number of times.
The old joke is the marketing manager saying: "Half of all our marketing expenditures are wasted. The problem is we don't know which half."

In my years in business, it's nearly impossible to draw an accurate cause and effect line between marketing and sales. Too many other factors at work.
Regardless of if Deno solves or not the issue, this article clearly depicts how broken the entire user experience is.

except, you know, the topic we're discussing. Teenage unhappiness. With actual hard data, for example, the number of suicides. So it might just be this time is different.

And, last but not least: past performance is not indicative of future results.

I'm not sure how this can be a criticism of OO. classes are tuples with named members, methods are procedures with an implicit param. There is no OO tax. the benefits are obvious. clarity in data dependence, encapsulation, code reuse.

I dont see how OO causes coupling or indirection.
Well, the security coprocessor on every iPhone and Mac runs a formally verified operating system that manages the at-rest encrypted messages. Also, all software running on the phone is vetted before being allowed to hit consumer devices, which adds an extra level of security between malicious developers and kernel APIs.

There's no way Android will support that stuff across its entire ecosystem, so I guess it means the law is toothless? Maybe it means it will be up to each hardware manufacturer to ensure interoperability?

Yes, it keeps nulls from appearing on important fields. Left join included nulls from the right. Right join excluded omissions.

> Where is this magical "elsewhere" part where there would be no layoffs?

Any company with competent management. That includes not cargo culting layoffs while turning a blind eye to the damage they cause to a company.

> It's mind-boggling that we have raised a generation of people who are absolutely clueless about "Cost-of-Capital". It is worse than people not understanding democracy

What's mind-boggling is that people think the cost savings from a layoff happens in a vacuum. There are definitely repercussions in terms of loss of productivity, increased employee churn, brand damage, increased difficulty hiring in the future, loss of operational knowledge...

Layoff are a sign of mismanagement. That has nothing to do with the "cost-of-capital".
> Is the problem that people can send encrypted things back and forth to each other?

I think this is the case, except it’s a feature not a bug. The predictable characters will shoehorn in the concern angle[1].

> r132a, a common refrigerant

Are you thinking R134A? IIRC, R132A theoretically exists but nobody makes it. And R134A is an automotive refrigerant. Most residential systems in the last 10 years likely use R410A (which is itself a mixture of R32 and R125). That is getting phased out and generally replaced with plain R32, as far as I know.

I for one, hope that someone figures out a way to make this cost effective.

When I was refining GPT-2 to make fake tweets of Donald Trump I encountered a similar problem about the DOI problem (and it would apply for anyone posting tweets with URLs). The twitter links would look legit because GPT-2 tried its best to create legitimate links. Here DOIs aren't being filtered by GPT3.5 so it does its best to generate a DOI that will look legitimate to a human to be correct but it will link to nothingness. So basically this is noise that GPT-3.5 needs to filter out.
Global Companies Are Finding It Hard to Leave Russia
I'd rather be exposed to the known-known of propane refrigeration in my consumer devices (car, window unit, refrigerator, mini-split, etc) than risk exposure poorly understood chemicals to reduce the chances of a refrigerant fire from one tiny decimal per capita per lifetime to a slightly smaller tiny decimal per capita per lifetime.
This isn't true in payments. There are many reseller orgs, indie processors, etc. that are happy to negotiate heavily based on volume etc.

I'm not sure what recent means, but I'm fairly sure (sorry, no references - only from memory) that it's been tested quite a lot, and also relatively recently (1-2 years?) by Evan (the guy behind Vite).

Even with newer versions of http just transferring lots of small files is noticeably slower (few percent if I remember correctly).
Who said that they weren't accountable? It's not just entry level employees getting laid off, but also senior ones, managers and executives. Salesforce got rid of 3 out of their 4 CEOs this year.
> What's so bad about package management?

Hard coding URLs is significantly worse than having a package.json file:

- you don't need to write the full URL to import a module

- you have a quick overview of which modules are installed and for which reason (dev dependencies)

- you can easily create an immutable list of dependencies

> And what's useless about the security harness

Because most apps will have to enable all flags (file system and network) anyway and because huge security holes like symlinks breaking out of the harness were present not too long ago.
The biggest challenge might be the lack of training data when it comes to robotics and procedural tasks that aren't captured by language.
The only client-side scanning proposal we’ve ever seen (Apple and NCMEC’s 2021 photo scanning proposal) didn’t even address encrypted messaging. It worked on private photo libraries on your phone. I think it’s very important to reiterate that the targets here aren’t communications between criminals: it’s your private data.
This is shocking and disgusting, but should not be taken as a motive to spy on everyone. Spying on everyone implies general assumption of guilt covering the whole population, which is unlawful in most jurisdictions (proportionality) and also unconstitutional in many (e.g. Germany).
Maybe they can employ people to track metrics to determine the effectiveness of sales campaigns and CEO?
It’s probably gonna be closer to how they enforce GDPR. So open source developers whose apps have very little market share will mostly be ignored.

Of course it doesn’t really matter the few big companies which control 99%+ of the market will end up complying..

Seems like EU is set on reenacting 1984 for some bizarre reason…
It sounds like an endless march of gradual forward progress, since each generation of refrigerants has been less destructive that the one before.
unemployment is a lagging indicator of economic malice. also, we have boomers a large generation retiring from work force, so even if the economic pie is not expanding or stagnant, there are labor pressures and these are not evenly distributed in the economy.

Trades is seeing phenomenal demand for labor, where as white collar people are going to get pink slips esp. in the fields (finance, tech, commercial real estate management, refinancing/mortgage) that have boomed during last decade.
> How can you prevent people from harming themselves to qualify for compensation?

Is it impossible to imagine that some process could be vetted closely by doctors to only apply this system to people with verified terminal illnesses, not to people that injure themselves intentionally?

> If I said I'll pay $1,000,000 to anyone who drinks a shot of bleach, certainly it's well within anyone's rights to drink bleach.

1) I'm not suggesting I'm happy with the idea of anybody being paid to harm themselves, but at the same time, what right does any human have to control anybody else's body?

2) People already pay athletes millions of dollars for a pretty large chance of brain damage and other injuries intentionally, and society cheers that on with roaring approval. People take on very risky jobs for a very slight increase in pay. People are paid to get blown up in literal war zones for pennies. Why is self harm for money ok in some contexts but not others?
The result is inflation, which in effect is a highly regressive tax. That is not good policy. There is no free lunch.
Well all the numbers I've ever seen have been just shy of 80, and 8/80 = 10%, which is 2 digits. So there are two possibilities. One possibility, I guess, is that both your and parent are using some sort of counting system we'll call "base b" where 25 base b = 80 base 10 and in which 8/80 base b < 10% base b. The other, more likely, possibility is that you're intentionally under-stating the scale of the layoffs and being oddly defensive.

Enjoy your Salesforce stock grant, I guess ;-)
They were down voted for the way they remarked on it. "Did you even read the article", berating the OP for missing something obvious (and also apparent just from the headline, not just the article).

People make jokes sometimes on here, its not all serious business, I don't think it would have been different years ago. You should get down voted for being a bit rude and simultaneously hypocritical because your criticism is also based on also missing something fairly obvious. The OP didn't deserve that comment, and the commenter should be corrected and have it pointed out they're actually the one making the embarrassing mistake.
"Protecting pay for store closures...and for workers who leave early or are sick" is national laws in many jurisdictions. You’ll have to provide some reason for why it doesn’t make sense, many national assemblies and labor boards seem to think otherwise.
Yeah, exactly. The sensory inputs that are subdued are the "self-bubble". Extreme attention paid to people from an emotional distance is heightened because it's processed through fear, like a prey animal.

The "extreme sense of intimate attention" is shared attention, where the we overtakes the me. It feels overwhelming because you don't want to give up the self-bubble - don't have the mental space for shared attention. Plus the autistic logic is self-reinforcing. Acting as though other people are predators, and their attention is dangerous, feeds on itself.

Try Deno anyway, if you haven't. The DX is very nice. I am very fast at cranking out small CLI tools -- and it gives binaries. Though sometimes I debate if Python is better for these tools, since it's so easy to get something going there too. For a JS maximalist stack, Deno no question.
I can't help thinking there are probably better solutions to people being left destitute by funeral expenses and the loss of the breadwinner in the family than providing the option of selling your dying self for scientific experimentation.
>If we can get the facilities small enough, they can be co-located with the static storage Grid battery facilities that are hopefully the first re-use of these EV batteries.

End of life cells will never be directly reused in any form of safety critical application like that. It's simply too dangerous to deal with the voltage and discharge irregularities that come after so many cycles. They will have to be remanufactured from raw materials.
