Ha, this is me. Maybe I should get some bins…
Oh I agree. This was strictly & specifically in response to the OP in this thread, who asked, as I interpret it, "If people are presented as struggling, how come they are not working more hours", and I believe even in the article itself, the answer is - they are.

Nothing in my post should be construed as an endorsement of underpaying people and expecting them to work every waking moment of their lives (much as it may be the actual reality for a lot of people).
i would recommend using "raised to the power of" (or similar) in place of "^" earlier on in the article, as it may get confused with the xor later on.

and use fixed fonts for all the numbers.
I got a 5A, and yeah, it's awfully nice to have that.

It's really convenient to have a stock of cheap, disposable headphones. The Google-branded wired headphones are really pretty good, but they cost four times as much.

(I just haven't found wireless ones I liked. I use them when running, and I really need them to stay in. The weight of batteries makes that really hard.)
> Philips says the monitor is for workers who commonly read a lot of content from their screens. It suggests that the E-Paper display with its lack of harsh backlighting, anti-glare, no flickering, and no blue light will help avoid eye strain. Commonly, users might "view vivid colors on the big screen and read long documents on the E-Paper screen," reckons Philips. In summary, Philips says the dual display will be a boon to productivity, ergonomics, and, thanks to the low power usage of E-Paper, sustainability.

Twisting their head to the side, and at suboptimal viewing distance and angle, for long durations to "read a lot of content"?

How's that going to work for ergonomics and eye strain?

An alternative would be to use it for lower-priority monitoring content (e.g., emails, chats, ops monitoring), which you can bring to the main display when you need to look closely or interact. The e-ink and placement de-emphasizes these distractions, but keeps them in your "peripheral vision" so you can occasionally check them with minimal effort. (Well, that would be the theory or pitch, but you'd have to study the reality and nuances of that.)
You could have said the same about google originally when Yahoo was using google to provide their search services.
You lose 10% of your ability to react and think quickly, not your ability to think. In fact, the older you get the more deep your thinking becomes. This is probably what you see when you think “John is slow to respond at times” (John being the older, 40+ developer). The reality is John remembers the last time someone suggested using MongoDB as a caching store and how well that worked out. John is recalling all those crunchtime meetings in the war room because someone wrote bad code or the software architecturally failed. The slowness to respond is them weighing all the options, for which they have more in the catalog than you. A binary search on 100,000 objects is fast (22 year old), a binary search on 1,000,000,000 is slow (a 40+ year old). Ageism is just fancy employment discrimination. I’m 40 and I continue to experience ageism and discrimination but I endure because I love what I do, others will find value in that, and the money is better than working at 84Lumber.
Gig employees are not paid an hourly wage. They're paid per-delivery/ride. You know that, right?

Because of this, it's possible to either not have enough deliveries/rides or to have the deliveries/rides pay too little to achieve enough money in an hour to make minimum wage.
Didn't one of the old iPhones or iPods have a FM receiver that used the headphones as an antenna?

> there’s a tried and true playbook that large tech companies quickly put to use to capture any remotely adjacent areas

Hum... The reason why large companies have historically been unable to do that is because nobody in them bothers to do it, not because they don't know how.

And one of the consequences of a series of mass layoffs is exactly that people stop caring about things like this.
It’s about 36%. https://smartasset.com/taxes/paycheck-calculator#EcokmNT9zH
well, he probably would get less than 5%, so I don't think effect the elections much. but the main candidate KK supporters was blaming that guy about: if they lose elections against erdogan, it will be because of that guy.

so now, they can get full responsibility if they lose against erdogan :) but if KK wants to take any responsibility he shouldn't be candidate. he already lost 8 elections against erdogan...
Second this. Nearly all rowing clubs here in Germany buy concept2 for a reason. The monitor is a bit old fashioned but does the trick. Machines are sturdy and last for a long time.
JS is far smaller language than C++. You don't need to agree on common part of language, it's the rest of the ecosystem around that's the problem as you "need" a lot just to fix JS deficiencies
That would make sense. I know at least in my own mind, I see Arrow as one of the "mainly focused on big businesses" distributors. Then again, I've never actually tried ordering anything from them, so I could be wrong about that...
Thank you for pointing out the error, and I have already made the necessary changes. Once again, thank you very much!
I am close to your age range. I have 22 years of C#, 27 years of HTML/JS/CSS, and I am still coding.

I took this job as a remote IC with a very small team of senior devs who could help them replace their old, highly complex but aging system. From scratch. I am lead on large portions of it and I contribute a lot of code on all sides.

I often find myself with the "get off my lawn!" attitude when I see a lot of the new stuff. When SPAs came along I thought it was crazy. Now I'm lead on an Angular project with C# APIs.

I haven't run into ageism yet but that has mostly come down to having this much experience. Hopefully, companies will hire based on who can understand all of this complexity and get the job done, not how old you are. In that case, it's a benefit.

I want to code. That's what I enjoy. I never wanted to manage. So far, so good.

I don't have any resources to provide to link up with other developers our age. But they are out there. For example, on HN, since I am one :)
This looks like a beautiful setup that isn't used too much. Or perhaps I am just jealous that I can't keep my active work spaces neat.
I feel like you could say the same about Python.

There's nothing you can do in Python that you can't do in C. But while Python is easier to learn and use than C, it's less efficient, in some cases hundreds of times slower than C, let alone expertly-optimized assembly.

But the ease of application development in languages like Python has expanded the scope of what can be realistically done with software, causing developer employment and salaries to rise while lowering the required computer science knowledge.

As for the luddites, they lacked imagination. Low-skilled laborers might have been able to make textiles, but there were plenty of lucrative opportunities for talented people able to design, build and maintain machinery instead of merely operating it. It was not uncommon for talented engineers to become factory owners themselves, some of whom started as unskilled laborers (Samuel Slater, for example).
I dealt with their warranty support over a decade ago and my experience was bad enough that I vowed never to buy their stuff ever again. Seems nothing has changed.
I wonder how many people think this is a string... and don't know about these magic numbers.
As long as we're making up numbers though, I'd rather pay $3 for surgery and $3 for road taxes and then have the state pay me $50k in unemployment while I'm recovering from surgery. The reason we have to make people miserable is because of cries about inflation if we just give poor people money but it turns out greedy white collar crimial capitalists are really the root cause.

If the last couple of years proved anything, it's that money is all made up. It doesn't mean anything, like points on HN or Reddit karma. You happen to be able to use money to trade for goods and services, but outside of that, it's a made up numbers game, like Monopoly.
This is overly optimistic. If this were true, most people driving an automatic transmission would be safer drivers in light of the lighter cognitive load. But that's not what happens. Instead the brain is overwhelmed by autonomous friending and vending apps until the car becomes an autonomous ending machine.

My n=1 experiment with driving a manual for 40 years in urban environments coast to coast is that I can't focus well without it and my experience doing half of that data set on a motorcycle just enforces that conclusion.

So -- AWS / Amazon are certainly big enough to have reviewed the licenses and have some understanding of potential legal risks of this.
This is pretty big news, PopOS and the team behind system76 are one of the first few people to bring tiling to the mainstream. I hope their new endeavour can bring new improvements to this space as it's badly needed.
I suppose patronising bemusement can be applied to virtually any writing, art, theory or idea; the question is, what is the predicate here? What did you actually say? Are your sentences positive statements of some kind, or just a textually baroque but unmistakably emotive grunts?
Please tell me it is easily detachable. How did they get 95% there and not do that?

Slide it in, slide it out. Auto recognize when it is in range so you can shove stuff into it. Use BLE built into the monitor to communicate. Charge when necessary.
It's an interesting idea, but it doesn't seem likely to get enough marketshare to really matter, and may be too late given that Amazon is now shipping the Kindle Scribe, including the promised integration w/ MS Word, so one can:

- work on a document on your laptop/desktop

- send it to your Scribe

- mark it up

- send it back w/ markups

There are also a couple of 3rd part e-ink monitors which seem to work well, and a couple of e-ink ebook readers/tablets where it is possible to connect to a computer and use as a second display/graphics tablet (that latter is a killer feature, which I'd give a lot for Amazon to make possible, even if it was only by allowing apps, and putting that in place as an app --- see the "Superdisplay" app for Samsung tablets for an example of how well it could work).
Some video production workflows are run on 4xraid0 just for the speed - it fails rarely enough and intermediate output is just re-created.
That's the point, though - what you get has diminished, but the trade is that you pay substantially less. If you want more, you can still pay for premium economy or business. It's better to enable people with less money to fly, while still letting people get a better experience if they want to spend more.
No. I work in my home country but there is a high unemployment rate in my country. Opportunities are quite limited.
Concept2 is the gold standard, and it's not even the most expensive. It's the only machine competitive rowers use, from high school to the olympics. C2 supports their machines to an insane level, going so far as to provide replacement parts all the way back to their first machine from 1981.
Not an investment - more of an inflation hedge. Yes I realize that a primary home can be considered an investment. But that’s an often argued rabbit hole that I really don’t want to go down.
Certainly they were inspired to build their own nuclear arsenal as soon as possible. But Japan was firmly under US hegemony by the time they succeeded, and no longer in play.
>Whatever happens, I don't think people will tolerate another lockdown ever again for at least two generations.

Some wont, but some people actually miss it and it was the best thing that ever happened to them.
I quit my job at a Silicon Valley BigCorp two years ago, almost to the day, for these very reasons. Luckily, we are in a position where I could just do what I wanted during this time, mainly go rockclimbing and help my wife in our worryingly enormous garden. But I miss certain things, like being in the room (whether physically or virtually) with a bunch of smart people and solving problems. And of course I miss the money. But I'm just not sure I can take the BS anymore.
Imagine humanity is some random species of wildlife, or insects, and AI is humanity.

As a "highly intelligent system", we have a long history of extincting animal species, and we're well on track to eventually extinct most of them, despite it's highly likely this will make Earth uninhabitable for us, ending with humanity dying off too.

Why do you think AI can't casually extinct us, because it doesn't need us (or thinks it doesn't), and we're just in the way of whatever it is that it wants to do?
Companies this profitable and large often actually overhire a small degree to deny the competition talent and to give a layer of people that can be laid off to boost profits quickly to make a board think management is good. Google or FB can lay off 5k people and not even NOTICE a change in productivity, but the boards eat it up.
Counterintuitively, “Cache-oblivious” algorithms typically refer to algorithms that are cache-friendly even for an unknown cache size, or for multiple levels of caches of varying (unknown) sizes. A good example is the memory hierarchy, from registers to L1–L3 processor cache to RAM to disk. Each have their own “block” size for memory transfers, and a cache-oblivious algorithm is designed to target all of those block sizes simultaneously.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache-oblivious_algorithm
I think you may have missed the joke - they were implying Github was using Copilot internally, causing the outages, due to poor output. Not that Copilot itself was unavailable (although that may be true, also)
Or the author is incredibly thorough and detail oriented, and cleaned it up for the photos. I agree, it's a great setup.

It is "bond villian thinking" in the sense that it is fictional. Indeed, the Author of this article has a long history of deliberately misrepresenting the views of longtermists.

> Here's a radical idea: customer acquisition and retention by offering the most compelling product

Isn’t that what they’re doing? This thread is full of people who are arguing that they cannot possibly be expected to stop watching YouTube, which sounds like they’re doing a good job attracting both an audience and compelling content. There’s a whole internet full of content out there, tons of options for creators to get paid, but even in a thread full of people saying they hate Google’s business model it seems like few people are willing to give up using YouTube so they must be doing something right.
For simplicity we could just abstract that average commute and other factors(some days being busy or slow, some days having challenging/easy tasks, cost of living, etc.) and wrap that all up in a single compensation. Maybe call it a wage or salary, and then let workers choose the job with the best "wage" for their specific scenario.
I'm in my mid-30s and facing the reality that I do not want to be a manager, but have a hard time picturing myself coding into my 60s. I'd be curious to hear more about what in your eyes separates "certain parts of our industry" that aren't suitable for older devs from those that offer good jobs which pay what you're worth. What kind of attributes would you look for in a company or product if you were searching for a job right now?

Honestly, I do feel somewhat similar. I work a normal 8-hour day and I am not obsessed with productivity nor I am some kind of anti-work activist, but it just feels like such a waste of time. The only reason I go to work is for money. I don't care about the products we build for someone else (why should I?), nor the technologies used (each of which brings its own challenges and frustrations). If I didn't need to go to work, I could dedicate more time to reading, writing, learning new skills, working on my own side projects, getting enough sleep, exercising, cooking, etc. Work just sucks the very soul out of me, and at the end of the day, I don't really want to do anything. Only on weekends and holidays do I feel much more energetic and motivated to do the things I listed previously, which evaporates by Monday.
I would never remotely condone this woman's crimes, but everything stinks here, not just the villain. You stole from crooks, was likely investigated by crooks, was prosecuted by crooks, and is likely now incarcerated by crooks. Poor poor Coke, oh, those poor chemical companies victimized by that nasty ambitious woman, but pay no attention to more than 5K dying daily by lethal exposure to chemicals.
I downloaded the launcher and there are two minor annoyances:

Even with best-in-class health insurance in the US, one "gotcha" leaves you with an unpayable bill. Usually, your company provides health insurance. Health insurance != health care. Larger companies (I assume this translates to tech) will also usually have a clinic on-site for smaller things and it's heavily subsidized or free.

None of this prevents you from 6-figure debt for something like a difficult, but largely by-the-book, birthing experience or a car accident.
It's not about the aspect ratio, but the total line length measured in characters. If you pay attention you will realize that most published papers either have two columns or large margins, like the standard LaTeX article layout.

Hilariously, I just got -4'd (and a whole thread) for asking why someone didn't just write tests, instead of building some half baked tool to debug their websocket app. The responses were all sorts of absurd excuses. I'll happily take the negative karma, cause I know it brings some awareness.

Historically, we've had lower taxes for decades now.

https://taxfoundation.org/historical-income-tax-rates-bracke...

So, you'd have to show that since, let's say 1940, the QoL of Americans has improved as a direct result of lower taxes.

We should be able to look at things like salary, cost of living such as price of homes, education, and food all improving against inflation. So, unless you can do that, your argument for lower taxes is baseless and without merit.

> But misappropriation of someone's hard-earned money is frustrating as well.

Hard-earned money that is earned because of the society supported by the taxes that person pays. Without that society, you would not be earning the same amount. No hard-earned money is earned by an individual in the US.
I can't say I feel that to be the case having watched various races... it looks fucking exhausting!
It was easy: the TCP/IP folks had BSD and it was running in the universities, and anyone who wanted to sell to them had to run BSD or else support TCP/IP too because it was the only easy way to integrate into those universities' networks.

Then people who went to school in the late 80s took that to $WORK in the early 90s, and by the mid-90s everything that wasn't TCP/IP had died. Novell's IPX, for example, was a thing still in the mid-90s, but a dying thing. Winsock for Windows 95 was the last thing that was needed to make TCP/IP rule -- after that there was just no way to do anything but TCP/IP.

It was a matter of network effects.
Given how much time it probably took to document the setup (never mind creating the setup), I'd say he deserves every penny.
Absolutely essential. Fumes from lead-free solder fluxes are nasty [1]. I find that bench-top "fume extractors", consisting of a fan and thin dust filter, are extremely noisy and essentially useless. I love my Hakko FA430-16. It's relatively quiet such that a regular conversation can be had in its presence, and it really works with the right hose & hood setup.

When I say "the only country" I don't include countries where you can't live at all, such as countries at war (Yemen, Somalia, Mali, Afghanistan, etc.), these are special cases, obviously it's worse to live there. I was talking about among the globalized and advanced countries, it's the only one that has this record and this culture of weapons, and this idea of literally killing people at random, I don't see that anywhere else. (excluding terrorist attacks that happen maybe once every x years in a country).
On the flipside, we have no health insurance when we're laid off, and even getting the sniffles costs a fortune. As for layoffs, last I checked Europe has meaningful worker protections. Neither do we get six weeks of vacation over here. Parental leave (unless you're FAANG) is iffy. Unless you happen to conform to a demographic shape, you'll get treated pretty shittily by everybody, including the state.

But if you like living without a net in exchange for high pay, by all means, come over here.
