Paper stickers with a corn based glue and a bit of clay to make them shiny seems like a reasonable solution that still works with sticker guns.

Those second stickers you see the stores put on, I haven’t seen those in the compost, so I’m suspecting they either break down or compost, but the distinction is important. Invisible plastic is still plastic.
Are you confusing a binary tree with something else?

Here's an example:

It's an 'easy' question. The solution is <10 lines.
We had a very similar experience in Paris. Six of us were running in the Paris Marathon, and we'd booked an AirBnB months in advance. Come the week of the marathon, the booking got cancelled by the host without explanation. When we politely enquired as to why our booking had been cancelled and whether there had been some kind of mistake, we got a four word reply: "My husband is DEAD".

If I recall correctly, AirBnB didn't allow the host to rebook the same period once they have cancelled a booking. That was no matter to the host - we later found the same property listed on another platform. AirBnB were unable/unwilling to find us alternative accommodation. And as guests who had been left massively inconvenienced and out-of-pocket, we weren't able to leave a written review or give a low rating to reflect our terrible experience - they simply end up with a brief "auto-review" to say "The host cancelled a booking with X days notice."
Judging by rates of illegitimate pregnancy and birth as reflected in prosecutions of same before and during the Victorian era, those values were incompatible with the society of their own time, too. Odd that never seems to noticeably deter the "forward into the past!" crowd from no-true-Scotsmaning their favored social prescriptions every bit as loudly as the most ardent communist handwaves Stalin.
> An important thing to remember is that the chargeback doesn't necessarily absolve you of the legal need to pay.

This is a misconception that many people have - at least in the US market. I owned an MSP for about a decade, and this was often the most common surprise for merchants: charge backs were final and were actually pre-accepted by the merchant as part of their merchant agreement (it's similar in concept to binding arbitration).

If (in the US) you find yourself being collected after a chargeback... have your lawyer get their hands on the merchant agreement. There are some fantastic consumer protections there.

seems the consensus is "a little more inflation" is better than "a bigger recession" which is probably true. People are still trying to get on their feet, and inflation is "felt" a lot less than losing your job (and not being able to find a new one for a long time).

While a possibility given the weird nature of SV companies, it's also pretty much nonsense in general when company support systems break down. It's the sort of learned helplessness that some people promote relative to companies that seems pretty silly. I've certainly used chargebacks when something wasn't working and continued to deal with said companies, albeit rarely.

Yes, sometimes you need to break relationships with certain companies as well. But that should be fine in general.

Tried to get a good landing with as few control actions as possible. For a simple new scoring system, subtract your number of control actions from your landing score:

Very nice landing, amazing

Score: 90.5 point landing
Speed: 2.9mph
Angle: 0.2°
Time: 18 seconds
Flips: 0
Max speed: 53.7mph
Max height: 425ft
Engine used: 1 times
Boosters used: 3 times

So, a score of 86.5 in the new system.

An old colleague of mine worked pretty extensively with a backend engineer on a script to do some data migration on user accounts. The other engineer did most of the work on the script itself. Mind you, the company has millions of users and didn't use staging databases. (No idea if this is still true.)

Come D-day, my colleague runs the script on a limited group of users (a 100k or so) to validate. I forget the details, but something in the script was incorrect and ended up breaking some features for all of those users.

Once reports started coming in, they were super worried and semi-freaked out. A war room was setup that day and all the people involved jumped in.

One of the first things that happened after determining what happened was to calm them down and reassure they weren't in trouble. After that the group worked on a solution for a few hours and established a plan to fix everything.

I was actually surprised that the response was so well handled. There was no finger pointing and just a group effort to fix the problem. To me, that's how every problem should be handled, and not instilling fear for losing your job if something bad potentially happens.

To anyone who wants to leave replies about staging databases, bad dev practices, etc, don't bother please. This was years ago and it was how things were done at the company. Our team was not part of the backend team or infra and worked with lots of areas of engineering on different issues.

CocoBot, a Discord bot impersonating your friends, just for fun
Hi all,

I've had this bot running on my server for more than one year, and my friends and I quite like it. It has no other purpose than making you laugh. The bot will basically learn from your friends messages, and impersonates them on demand (aka, it will take random paths through one user's messages, and produce a nonsensical output).

This isn't hosted in the cloud, so you need to host the bot yourself. Any computer with docker is enough.

For those interested, the bot is implemented with Java Reactor based DiscordApi, and uses Markov chains to impersonate users (with a few tweakings).

This is one of my first open sources projects, so any type of feedback is appreciated. And of course if you like it, feel free drop a star. :)

I doubt the funding for black and white students really differs that much. You can find many articles claiming this but a lot of this seems to depend how you count and who is counting. The washington post or NYT will run an article claiming huge gaps, while the heritage foundation says it is broadly equal (https://www.heritage.org/education/report/the-myth-racial-di...). Some of the best funded schools in the whole country are black schools. America is littered with failed projects to better minority performance by increasing school expenditures (here is one: https://www.cato.org/commentary/americas-most-costly-educati...). The tendency of blacks to go to prison doesn't really seem to have to do with the things you mentioned, at least not solely. For example, young blacks whose parents are in the top 1% of earners, who certainly do not grow up in bad neighbourhoods with terrible schools or targeting by police, seem to commit crime at rates similar to whites from families earning <40,000$/year (raj chetty). And none of this explains how policies that help Nigerians get into Harvard make sense as a means of helping poor American blacks.
> It seems the root of my issue is that _having_ to do something makes me dislike it

I'm like you: I have very hard time working on something someone tell me to do, yet I can spend hours working on my own projects without any issue. Of course this led to pretty big issues like failing my PhD and having to go back in my country. Then I quitted my first real job after 4 months because I was feeling I wasn't pay enough and the conditions weren't to my liking, and finally found a full remote one which pays quite a bit more.

My advice would be to either find a job in which the conditions aren't too bad (4 days weeks, full remote, etc.), or a government worker like position where you can be paid doing jack shit.

> Everyone thinks they’ve done their due diligence and arrived at the correct conclusion.

I think this is too charitable. So many points of contention have both sides using morality as the justification for their position, and if they are on the side of "what is right" then there's no point even considering the words of the other side, because clearly the others are on the side of "wrong".

This is, of course, not an entirely new phenomenon. What is different is that we can communicate more, and faster, than in the past- one might hope that would help us more readily understand each other, but the opposite is proving to be true.

Yup. Until recently, Australia only had negative event reporting.

Inflation will not go away for 20 years.
So if I understand correctly by local you mean on the test runner? So at the beginning you build your CI env and you start a local web server. Then later on when you are running the tests they hit the local web server (on the runner) during the tests?

We do support this yes. With what we call background jobs. Each test runner also comes with a dedicated docker server for running additional services (db, etc). It’s an experimental/new feature though and I haven’t properly figured out how to charge for it.

In the happy case while the worker isn’t running tests the background job should be consuming very little resources.. but we can’t rely on that (and also some people will inevitably try to mine crypto) so figuring out how to make sure the workers aren’t hogging the cpu between test runs has prevented me from broadcasting the existence of the feature, it is there though.
JSON is also a tree structure. Granted one rarely inverts it, but “no trees in the real world” is not true.

I think what we’re seeing is that the NAIRU (non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment) model continues to be correct in some cases but fall apart in others. This model has traditionally been based more on empirical data than a strong theoretical basis (although anybody could tell you that is reasonable for low unemployment to lead to wage inflation) and, most notably, is an aggregate measure.

Certainly you can argue that Japan proves an exception to this rule, or that the current low unemployment is simply a lagging indicator of our previously dovish monetary policy that will eventually normalize. But I think that NAIRU simply needs to be refined: wage inflation occurs not during low unemployment but during times of increasing employment. That is to say, an economy may arrive at a steady state of employment at a variety of employment rates, which needn’t cause wage inflation, but when employers in aggregate are creating new jobs and attempting to fill them even if they have to raise compensation, you do get wage inflation. This also doesn’t necessarily need to be done in aggregate: you can argue that wage inflation in the technology industry during the 2010s is partially what created the localized inflation in the Bay Area during that time, while in the rest of the country without heavy tech presence, this didn’t happen.

There are of course many other wrinkles: for example, the size of the workforce has a degree of elasticity, where higher wages or lower hiring standards may draw some people not considering participating to again participate. There is also elasticity to hiring: depending on any individual employer’s demand for workers they may be more or less willing to raise compensation vs only partially meeting hiring goals. And of course there is stickiness to employment on both the employer and employed. The elasticity and stickiness of these things seems like it can have tons of factors that influence their magnitude: from culture norms (like in Japan where job hopping is less common), to employment regulations (how hard is it to hire-fire), ageism and other *isms (if a culture discriminates against X group, they may be more inclined to drop out of the labor force, but happy to rejoin it if employers need to hire so badly that discrimination gets lessened), to the size of the social safety net.

Plus, unemployment is a very coarse metric for skilled workers. Skilled workers are less likely to simply become “unemployed” and more likely to switch directly from one job to the other. During a broad hiring binge you could see large wage growth with little change in unemployment.

Anyway, I think basically economics has the tools to explain everything we are seeing already - it’s only perplexing when reasoning based on very simplified models like NAIRU.

You run through it by having it move to the top, where it sits. $100 in the bank account of someone who only has $200 will be far more active in the economy than someone who has $2,000,000. Or $2B.

Propose HN: Every single canned good should be a std set of shapes
SS:

Every single canned good should be from a standard metric set of size qualifiers, which are based on _only_ and _specifically ; stackable qualities.

This means that a canned good in a 3rd world place can be converted into a drinking vessel which is stackable - but will reduce shipping cost for raw material - and speaking of material, potting containers already do this with basically every pot --> food source --> can --> waste

TL;DR: Soup/canned goods should all be semi conical as garden planters are for stackability for less waste.
Can you elaborate on your statement?

I think it is more likely that culture drives genetics. If you have a group whose culture favors intermarriage, where marriage is encouraged and even arranged between families with intellectual success, and which enables the resulting couples to have many children, that would tend to drive the genetics of the group.

Sexual selection is tied to culture.
Escooters are more practical here. I see these as the future of getting to PT.
Not sure whose consensus that is, but I don’t think it’s central bankers’.

Their ability to fight inflation is tied up in market participants believing they will do what it takes to do so even in the face of harsh costs. If that reputation comes into doubt, we could end up with the worst of both worlds.

"These interventions are far too superficial to obtain the intended results."

In my limited and probably too absolute opinion (there's more nuance than what I have here), schools seem to either be about checking boxes to say "see we did everything!" or have some naive administration with a savior complex.

Most people don't care about getting to the root issues, or are blinded by their biases. I feel like there's no real community left and no real hope for many. It's hard to give a damn about the future when you know your's is fucked but everyone is still putting on the pressure to be successful.
> Functional non-mutating patterns in JavaScript and Python can be substantially, sometimes catastrophically, less performant than the procedural/imperative mutating equivalents

What portion of this is due to the fact that you're using a functional pattern on an imperative language? For example, none of those attempts can take advantage of any underlying purely functional data structures (see: Erlang/OTP/Elixir, or Clojure)

> Most in browser crypto seems to view the web server as both the adversary and the trusted party at the same time.

I think that only considering a single web server ("the web server") is an oversimplification that's crucial here.

I believe that the threat model in this case is that some web servers are fully trusted by the people you want to interact with (e.g. servers belonging to the website owner), whereas other servers are less trusted (e.g. servers belonging to CDNs, 3rd party repo owners e.g. npm/github, ad networks, etc...) - and many web pages/apps will load executable code and data from multiple sites in a single session.
