Maybe, but I've always had lucrative jobs and my work has always been appreciated. Maybe you just have to find the right employer. I think longer-term, employers that value high quality work will have the upper-hand.

And to be honest, I don't care for managers like that, so the feeling is mutual.

> In principle everything should respect the DNS servers provided by your local DHCP server. In practice some of those DNS servers are hilariously bad, because they’re operated by ISPs

It's not just ISP operated DNS. There are many other scenarios where multiple parties share one DHCP server, where the DHCP admin's choice of DNS might not be what every other participant desires. For instance, using a public wifi, roommates sharing a router, visiting someone's house, etc.

He came from generations of influential Quaker's (pacifists) but defied his father in signing up for the Spanish-American war before he left school. He lied about his age to be commissioned as an officer.

It's no surprise the military didn't meet his idealistic expectations.

His awards were probably not legitimate. At the time, his father was the chair of the House Naval Affairs Committee, overseeing the budget of the Marines. E.g., one award was for a spy mission that consisted of taking a train incognito into Mexico.

His claims in "War is a racket" were designed to elevate his reputation as a truth-teller and good guy, an unwitting accomplice.

Just some friendly feedback. On clicking the above link, you get the landing page that says "Signup". Generally I would at least like to preview it before that.

I was about to click away, when I clicked the hamburger link (top right) and saw past newsletters.

However since you have so many different categories, you might want to think about how you'll do that.

i just checked my banks, they are on google play and on the huawei app store, the latter though is not really an alternative i would trust any more than google, and i didn't see if it allows download without an account, but fortunately for myself i don't want banking on my phone anyways, as the phone is the most likely device to break, lost or stolen, nor do i care about those others. but that's just me.

I don’t think it’s such an edge case at all. I imagine it would be disconcerting to the driver behind you if you slammed on the brakes on a wet road, locked the wheels into a skid, and the brake lights went out. (Shouldn’t happen with modern braking systems, but still…)

Of course, I can see your point of view too, that the "less evil" regimes are so arrogant in always boasting about how they're "less evil". As if that matters. Everyone knows that if they stopped doing that, the world would improve.
You might be waiting a while. If you read the documentation I think they get into to the reasons for that pretty thoroughly. As a side note, I think the prices for 5's and 6's is pretty reasonable right now (they seem to have fallen a bit from a year or 2 ago).
> Movies are catering to people who aren't even paying attention, because in test audiences there are always a few people who keep muttering questions "what's going on? what did they just say? why is this happening?" And the worst part is, these sort of people are still confused even when the movie explicitly explains everything to them.

I've got a few relatives I simply can't watch movies with because it's like this the whole movie. It's like they can't remember anything that happened over 2-5 minutes ago. "Who's that character?" "Where are they?" "Now who's that?" "Is that the cousin or the uncle?" "What are they doing now?" "I don't understand." OF COURSE you don't understand! You've been on Instagram the whole movie! They come out of a standard brain-off romcom and they don't really know what it was about, except that the ending was sweet and romantic and they liked it. Put something like Inception or Tenet in front of them, and they're going to just sit there totally befuddled.

Can't agree more. I hate YouTube shorts, hate YouTube monetization despite the constant praise it gets on HN, hate the search results when looking for videos, hate I can't see dislikes, hate that I constantly am suggested videos I've already watched and content I've already flagged I don't want to see, especially content flagged annoying. Maybe an a/b test, but it was bonkers to have a survey prompt "Why is this not interesting?", I flagged "this is annoying" and sure enough that very popular creator was suggested again later.

YouTube is so bloated and Vanced made it tolerable, so of course they killed it.

Will this "true" left you're talking about criticize democratic party leaders for their wars with the same fervor that they criticize republican party leaders?

When Trump was campaigning for his first presidency everybody was saying he would start a bunch of wars and nuke the whole world. When none of that happened he had to be a traitor since he didn't start any beautiful patriotic wars. Reality is of no consideration to the uneducated and educated masses. War is peace, peace is war.

I will not be mutilated by mortar in a ditch or send my children to die in a trench, no matter who is president. War is a racket, I feel truly sorry for those who suffer and will suffer for following their "leaders".

Religious impulses get measured on a different metric than the dry, purely scientific and logical basis that Climate Change is supposedly formed from.

> <i> is used by some systems now for icons

This is somewhat alarming. <i> is still a valid tag and used, e.g., for marking up titles of artistic works, etc. (which is not a use case for <em>, nor for <cite>.) Similar goes for <b>, which is (semantically) different from <strong>.
I've done some work in that space, which was mainly to build an alternative view materialization scheme[0] in PlPgSQL that reifies the internals of CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW and REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW but with the following properties:

- the materialized view is a plain table, so
- you can write to it from triggers
- you can have triggers on it
- refreshing a view records the deltas in a
history table (which is useful as a poor
person's logical replication scheme)
- you can mark a view as needing a refresh

Then in the application I have hand-coded triggers to either update the view's materialization directly or to mark the view as needing a refresh. A background job can asynchronously refresh views as needed.

I've also spent some time thinking about the AST form of view queries that PG stores and how one might automatically generate triggers on source tables that update the materialization or mark it as needing a refresh.

As you note, many queries can be very difficult to transform into queries that compute incremental deltas. Moreover, even where it's possible to do that, the time it takes to execute the delta computation might be unacceptably long. For example, if you have a recursively nested grouping schema and you want to maintain a view of the expanded transitive closure of that data, then removing a large from from another might require thousands of row deletions from the materialized view, and that might make the transaction take much too long in a UI -- the obvious thing to do here is to say "sorry, that kind of update takes a while to propagate, but your transaction will complete quickly", so just mark the view as needing a refresh and refresh it asynchronously.

Smedley Butler, the writer of this book, latter in life claimed he was sought in a facist conspiracy to lead and overthown Franklin Roosevelt and assume power.

It's fairly concrete advice I've given dozens of times to more junior software engineers over the years. People have a tendency to become emotionally invested in the code they write. A large part of that tendency seems to be due to a sunk cost fallacy. When you spend the majority of your time iterating on code in order to work through unanticipated complexity and system level interactions, the code is perceived to be the value of your work. People ultimately derive happiness from feeling useful, and so it hurts to be told that the thing you labored over is flawed in some way.

Lines of code aren't really valuable, though. They're technical debt. They're a liability. The valuable, useful thing is the final working system that solves other people's problems, or otherwise enriches their lives. The value of a software engineer's work therefore isn't the code, but it's all the design work that went into the code that made sure it made the system better rather than worse.

Whenever I personally write code without a backing design document, I consider it to be speculative, with a lower probability of ever getting merged somewhere useful. I expect any attempt to get it through code review to be relatively painful, and I go as far as mentioning the speculative nature up-front in the review summary so that the code reviewer is in the right mindset.

That reminds me of many years ago, when I did a lot of circuit design for solar car racing while in university. I developed a thick skin for technical criticism pretty early on in high school from FIRST robotics. There were plenty of fellow solar car team members that hadn't had the experience yet, and so it was often a source of inter-team drama. There's one effective trick I would use when mentoring newer team members in the art of PCB layout. After they spent 20+ hours sweating over completing their first ever layout, I would sit down with them and go through the dozen or so novice mistakes they had made. I would encourage them to share their story of personal pain, misery and self-discovery that went into the result that they were sharing with me. I would then apologize profusely as I hit the "unroute all" button, reminding them that they still had the file saved. I would then invite them to start over and do it again from a clean slate. After a few minutes of disbelief and frustration, they would get to work again. Without fail they would come back a few hours later, smiling ear-to-ear and excited to show off how much better the layout was.
This is the fallacy of counting the set of things that don't happen (I don't know if there's a technical term for it). The rivers aren't on fire anymore, the air is clean, the skies are safe - things are just about as good as they've ever been (despite a few outliers). That's all thanks to voting and common-sense regulations.

So to answer your question directly, "pretty much constantly but it's easy to miss since by definition they're successfully being prevented."

> Tellers help human beings interact with the banking system. Being able to talk to a human to help resolve problems with your account, start the process of getting a loan, etc. is nice and not really comparable to what mining does.

I'd argue that we don't need the help and it is something that can be automated. One can take out collateralized loans in DeFi all day long without interacting with a human.

> But it seems like most people are confident the current amount of mining expenditure is way more than necessary, since nobody is concerned about the drop in security that will immediately follow the next halving event.

Target difficulty adjusts, so the drop in security will only last 2016 blocks. Over time, I'd expect bitcoin mining energy usage to drop significantly with the halvings, which is a good thing. I agree, we don't need as much as we have today, but the reality is that there is a large land grab happening ahead of the drops. I do predict it will even out over time.

NVIDIA/CUDA acceleration for AI/ML are the gold standard, and when there is a ton of investment money coming in (especially when way more is coming in, much faster than usual) the safe bet is to stick with the standard. Additionally, they have the backing of NVIDIA which is huge and has ton of resources poured in to this, compared to any other competitor. On a risk adjusted basis, NVIDIA is a solid choice to standardize on and stick with.
Sometimes Democrats get backed into a corner. Like with Korea, Vietnam. No matter what they do, Republicans call the Democrats communists/evil/Satan. So when there is a communist country in the mix, then they better damn well go to war, or it proves they are stooges of those same communist countries. Because Democrats can't appear weak on communists, they might fight them harder than a Republican would, (see recent history where Republicans are backing Russia, which is like bizzaro world).
