Lame ruling, I'd love to see the full court transcripts.

The onus should have been on management to properly account for a work stoppage, esp if they are negotiating that day and they continue to load the trucks.

The actual financial risk of equipment loss was extremely low. Cement truck operators have contingencies for traffic, backups at work sites, work site closure, etc. The cement load is good for 90 minutes (meaning within spec) and go can longer but will be worthless. You throw down a tarp, drop the load, when it hardens you can break it up and remove it.

This just opens up another avenue to prevent workers from striking.
This result is not inconsistent with the "spend more time outdoors" advice. It's using visible red light that's very intense - more than we see indoors, and mechanisms as simple as "triggers dopamine release in the retina" could explain it.
> In a video example, a researcher grabs the chips from the robot and moves them, but the robot locates the chips and grabs them again.

Well, that’s it boys, I think we’ve successfully created a Terminator. To paraphrase Kyle Reese, “It is a chip-grabbing machine, and it absolutely will not stop!! Until it has acquired all the chips.”

This is what I mean.

Make a test for competences, and people will complain.

Don't make a test, and people will complain.

Make the interview process short and to the point, and people will complain.

Make it long and thorough, and people will complain.

No matter what you do, there is always someone on HN that will tell you that you're doing it wrong.

I've yet to pass an interview process that I would qualify as good, myself.

So if it's the case, it's probably because it's not very common.

Turns out hiring is not a solved problem, and it's easy to be a critics when you don't have to do it.
The analogy falls flat because the words that make "open source" both already have meanings that make the OSI definition confusing to say the least.
The archives were destroyed:

> Russia's Gulag History Museum says a researcher has discovered a secret Moscow directive in 2014 ordering the destruction of some of the last remaining documents on Soviet-era prisoners -- a move it described as "catastrophic" for historians.

https://www.rferl.org/a/gilag-history-museum-says-moscow-ord...

Every source I've seen says about 18 million, including that one:

> As many as 17 million people were sent to the Gulag, the notorious Soviet prison camp system, in the 1930s and 1940s, and at least 5 million of them were convicted on false testimony.
Wow, thanks for the first link, that was exactly what I was looking for after reading TFA. But I wish I could scan a qrcode and let this website explain it to me, instead of generating one with the same content, as I couldn't replicate the one in front of me with this page.
> In particular if all I have is a mutable reference, and no way to make a T surely there's no way to call that second function ?

That is true, but imagine that you replaced ALL “pass by mutable reference” with the “inout” pattern. That is essentially what vale is doing. And it functionally achieves the same thing (giving temporary ownership to a function).
56k dialup? Luxury!

1200 bps Unix shell access from TENet (Texas Educators’ Network) - thank you, Mr. Horner, my 9th grade US History teacher, for telling that nerdy girl who turned in all her papers in dot matrix print about what she could get her mother, a fellow teacher, to pay all of $5/year for.

Oh, and daring to have us look at Reconstruction’s sudden cut-off, Jim Crow and the fact that we were less than 30 years from its legal end in Texas, the Bonus Army, our rather late entry into WW2, the Japanese-American internment camps, and various shenanigans to do with the Vietnam War - you taught us that it’s possible to both love your country and to accept that it is by no means perfect.

I hope you’re enjoying a good retirement.

> I hear you on homes but housing overall - apartments included should not be owned by corporations for investment purposes imho.

A single apartment building (or complex) might have around a hundred tenants and a handful of employees. That's a large enough operation that it's straight up irresponsible not to set up an LLC or corporation for it.
> “camera broken”

But if a tangent, but I think this is the dumbest excuse ever. I wish people would just say they don’t want to turn it on. It seems weird when a programmer complains about this like it’s something outside their control. I’m sure it actually happens, but I’ve never had a MacBook camera fail and I have like 15 year old iMacs with the cam still working.

This makes people sound incompetent, especially when cameras aren’t required or anything.
I have to say I love a good magic show. Like illusionists stuff is so cool to me even though I realize I’m just getting played the fool.

Card tricks in particular I love. I could watch someone do card tricks all day.

Does anyone know a good way to dabble in learning card tricks? I’d love to try and hone the skill myself
My thinking was also, never has a deprecation warning I added caused immediate attention to it. If people actually read warnings like this we'd have much fewer issues with API upgrades.
I’m sure Optus appreciates the brand mention! =P
Either way, there is significant back-and-forth conversation between Red Hat and their users. And because of that, when the RHEL 9 deprecation rolls around in 2034, a lot of those users are likely to be well-prepared for a switch to either Flatpak or the upstream LibreOffice rpm.
One cool and lesser-known fact is that you can enable adb on Raspberry Pi with adbd.

It’s a fairly seamless way to get console/push/pull over USB. Only downside is that it requires the adb tool on the host as well, vs gadget serial/ssh.
Agree with everything you said, but want to add something regarding the school systems worldwide: they're designed for the average kid. And I mean more than intellectually average. Just average in general, which inclides "neuro-typicality", or family situation, etc.

So, depending on what makes the kid an an outlier, they might struggle in this system that wasn't designed for their needs.
> Then, around 2017, the nomads started arriving — particularly those from the U.S., with their high-calorie diets, Doordash addictions, and extravagant tipping culture. Noel’s eyes lit up as he described them. “Los gringos,” he said, “y sus propinas” — “and their tips.”

Ugghh. If there's one thing that I hated when I went back to Colombia it's this. Waiters will now often ask you point-blank when you're paying whether you want to include a service fee (which is often ~20%). I hate the US tipping culture with deep passion and it's been painful to see Colombia getting americanized in this way.
Life is about adaptability. Needs evolve. Tools stop making sense for those new needs. So you use or build a better tool. Or you improve the foundation to buy you some time.

Your company will replace or remove you without a notice when it needs to adapt to economic conditions. Same thing with the tech stack and debt.
Forbes.com is more of a blog host than a news organization.

They've got that "Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributers are there own" hover tip hidden on the byline of just about every article. I don't think their editors vet or screen articles beyond passing them through Grammarly, if even that.

The site has as much credibility as Tumblr.

I have been enjoying a chat based AI coding modality. I built some tooling that gets rid of the need to cut & paste code between the chat and your files. This makes chatting about code changes much more ergonomic. My tool also integrates directly with git, which provides a safety net. It’s easy to undo changes if the AI does something silly.

Here are some chat transcripts that give a flavor of what it’s like to code with AI this way:

https://aider.chat/examples/

My tool is open source, and currently only works if you have a gpt-4 api key.
We are a Fortune 100 company that everyone on the planet has heard of. We typically get 500+ applications per position. But we still only do a single hour interview to make a decision.
Leaving hotspots connected via USB 24/7 is a no-no, and people put some effort trying to run them without a battery:

- https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/trick-the-hotspotphone-...

- https://jibout.com/verizon-7730l-mifi-hotspot-battery-bypass...

- https://old.reddit.com/r/Calyx/comments/lorkrv/running_mifi_...

I feel like there's some liability on Netgear's part here: People can't be expected to know they can't leave it connected and a charging circuit should not constantly feed the battery.

It's a shame there aren't more affordable connectivity options for projects like this. Hotspots with batteries tend to be a lot cheaper than battery-less routers and USB dongles. The latter of which isn't even available for 5G.
In general, if you keep the source code positions of every nontrivial token, and you keep the raw source code, then yeah you can print out those pretty specific point error messages regardless of whether you keep your trees lossless. Also, if you want to include filename in your messages (perhaps because unlike Lox your language supports imports), then you'll need more than just lossless trees to store the necessary information.

I'm not sure exactly how Rust and rust-analyzer keep track of the info necessary to their excellent error messages and diagnostics, but I wouldn't be surprised if pinpoint messages were not the primary motivation for rust-analyzer to do lossless parsing.

Life is a random walk. Doing well on some random point just opens up more future sub-trees at that point. Doing not so-well at some point means you have less opportunities at that moment; as you chug long, you may step on another point, which can lead to a great success. This doesn't mean that one should treat one's life haphazardly matter (come what may); learn from earlier generations, others' lives, from one's own past, and navigate life without a large variation (or standard deviation)

Some points (say, set X) are impossible to reach, because one doesn't end up on a point that reaches X. For instance, MBB consulting recruits students from elite Ivy League. Usually, MBB alumni moves to F100 companies laterally, thereby reaching C-levels faster. You can read posts on collegeconfidential dot com, how some students plan a course of action when they were in middle school to get into million dollars per annum jobs. The chance of success is higher if one traverses the well-trodden path, that's why there is a rat race.
During the USSR era you were able to travel freely. <- that’s not true. The newcomers in moscow got job and then went to moscow. And got an apartment from the institution that offered the job. Going to moscow without a job would make you бомж (lowest caste of homeless) there.

The simplest thing we could do to make access to healthcare more affordable is that Congress could increase Medicare funding for residency program slots. That would boost the number of practicing physicians within a few years.

When I was young I ran a Team Fortress Classic server from my living room. It was hooked up to 768k SDSL (symmetric). It was 2fort-only—still a common thing in TF2—and popular enough that it was full 24/7, with a 20 player limit. Had lots of regulars, some of whom stayed in touch for years afterward. Some of the things that caused downtime:

The house's floor slab had a crack that wicked up groundwater when it rained too much, so my carpet would get mushy. Electronics off!

The anti-cheat software I ran (PunkBusters) went crazy after an update and banned anybody who connected. I noticed when my MRTG graphs flatlined.

Girlfriend once yanked out the Ethernet cable when we were having adult time. I didn't bother explaining that one to the players.

Heavy web browsing would cause lag, so I ended up learning how to do QoS via iptables (or its precursor, whose name I forgot).

At the time, the server used an astonishing 25 gigabytes of bandwidth a month. Always raised an eyebrow with the ISP tech when I called in, but they never complained.
Is this another squandered Google AI showcase? To what purpose does another demonstration serve Google when it is not immediately paired with a product announcement, beta access invitation or source code release? Does it merely make it easier for Google researchers to be poached by other AI companies that are actually releasing AI products? Adobe is actually integrating image generation tools directly in its products. What are you waiting for?
The Macintosh SE/30 was new the same year Apple bulldozed Bob's old (would be) Lisa Professional stock: 1989. At this point they are both running variations of System 6 and (from this article) it sounds like Sun Remarketing is selling to a lot of businesses, the market Apple wants to grow. It's easy for me to see the Lisa Pro as real competition for the SE/30, they might be far apart in terms of hardware but to customers they probably looked very similar, particularly customers focused on word processing and spreadsheets.

From then on, it seemed like Apple was selling that machine forever. That SE/30 was improved a bit and branded the Classic II in 1991, the next year old stock was re-branded as the Performa 200 and they kept on selling that thing, AFAICT, until they sold them all. I remember seeing them in Sears as late as 1994 sitting right next to PowerPC Performa models.

I agree, these attacks are looking for systems that have pretty default security, and by running on a different port you avoid all this automated chaos because you're non default now. Like scam emails with typos, a way to filter out the naïve people.

I get you.

I've dropped out of highschool due to lack of attendance, lost almost 4 years trying to figure out what is wrong me. Put my parents through hell, wasn't nice. In the end I've realized that I wasn't depressed because of childhood traumas or whatever, but because I wasn't able to commit to studying, or to be able to properly focus on anything. Which in turn made me feel like shit, vicious cycle. Getting through high school would be easy, but that wouldn't fly in college. I literally read one page of notes and went to do 10 different things, before I realized that I'm supposed to do something else.

I'm writing that because a lot of helpful people tried to figure out what is going on with me, but I think that I've hidden the real thing (focus issues, missing some basic social queues, thinking "too fast") that was "different", so well, that I only could have realized that I have something ADHD-related at 24, as an adult.

Anyways, finished high school alternatively, now doing 2 degrees at uni, it's the exact same struggle, but I know myself better and it kind of goes. Medication is terrible, it's either methamphetamines for life or nothing. My grades are still terrible, but you can find your worth elsewhere.

I am both incredibly happy and frustrated it was pre-me that post-COVID online schooling gets more credit and justification for people with various struggles. I know that it would have saved me at least 2-3 years, so I look out for what is going on in that field. Cheers
The Vice write up isn’t very good and omits a key point: https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/supreme-court-allows-compa...

> The Court took time to point out that workers do not forfeit the NLRA’s protections simply by commencing a work stoppage when the loss of perishable products is foreseeable. The Court emphasized that in this case the workers reported to work, prompting the loading of the concrete, and only after the concrete had been loaded into the trucks, did they commence the work stoppage. In so doing the workers not only destroyed the concrete but put the trucks at risk.
I do hiring for small companies, no one is paying that much. 130-150k is base for seniors. Also seeing a decrease in US based developer jobs, lots of offshoring happening. I'm halfway considering moving to Costa Rica and running a firm down there.
Sorry, but that's not how things work.

When you buy property somewhere -- you agree to abide by the all of the existing codes and statues of that municipality / jurisdiction. Full stop.

In the case of this guy -- he's no just being an asshole, and guilty of poor taste. He's intentionally violating the law. Because he thinks he knows better.

> Why is an older doctor so much more valuable than an older developer?

which would you take with you on a one way trip to a desert island?

that’s a meaningless question, it assumes their jobs are their siloed experience, and that nothing outside of job is real.

training. licensing. you can’t just go become a doctor. yes, there can be new doctors, cheaper, maybe better, maybe not. but the funnel is finite.

got a computer? or a smartphone? device with screen and input? with a little work, you’re gonna be writing code in no time. call yourself an engineer and mostly nobody gets mad that you have no license, no certification, possibly no degree. because none of that matters.

no, that isn’t capturing nuance, context, or detail. just the macro. it’s enough.

> If not, then why didn't you address the issue quickly since you mention you're the one who hired them.

For me, it’s because I’m busy and this takes time. Being a good employee isn’t unique to digits nomads or not. But having to micromanage to correct problems is something I’d like to avoid as a manager. I have fantastic employees and do not experience this type of behavior and work on hiring people who are self starters and problem solvers not people who bill by the hour, work for an hour and bill 8 and claim it’s because I didn’t assign more work. I’d rather hire someone smart who figures out what they can do by maximizing their time themself that helps toward our broader mission.

I don’t want to assign tasks, I want to remove blockers and help expand impact. So I like to find more things to do, not finish things and then wait.
Can we get a real write up about this rather than a lazy link to GitHub, that’s not even to documentation, but rather just a list of repos? As it is, it’s completely unclear what this is or why I should care.
yeah this Asus laptop (https://www.asus.com/laptops/for-home/vivobook/vivobook-pro-...) has the same resolution display for the same dimensions too. Maybe this is the only high dpi panel mass produced enough and 16'' doesn't have an economical version due to lower economies of scale? just a guess I am not very sure.
The ever important thing here is what will constitute sabotage going forward.

I imagine a follow up lawsuit will be that general striking is sabotage, in some way. For instance because routine maintenance is not performed equipment becomes damaged by proxy, sort of stuff.

It opens up a possible slippery slope going forward on this.

When you write an article like this better mention hard numbers. Like what percentage of the population of the city is digital nomads. My guess - less than 1%. Its easy to blame all the problems of your city on outsiders than take responsibility.

P.S. I have never been a digital nomad.
Ask HN: ChatGPT, but Only for Question?

Note that the article also says that many nomads switch places every month. Most of them won't need a temporary residence permit for Mexico.

> Leaving aside this is a gross estimation - 7.6k remote workers in a metro area of 3.7 million. Are all the 7.6k digital nomads or can they be local remote workers?

Given Nomad List's target audience, I think they mean digital nomads from outside Colombia.

It's also very likely that the actual numbers are higher – I have met plenty of nomads in Medellín but, like me, many were not using Nomad List.

I came up with the term myself which is why you can't find it but I also half expected someone to have named it as well. Because "manners" or "nice" is a mostly culturally-loaded or very subjective term I wanted to say "be considerate to others above how even one would want to be treated." And it's a word not used daily except among the religious in the West, and that works well for those groups because "act how you would in church / template / mosque / synagogue" as a reminder of what civility can look like. Granted, some churches in the US are truly frightening to me and maybe I should refrain from calling on such emotions.
This resonates so much with me. Most of the time I find that I'm just in this automatic mode of operation of working->family_time->sleep->back to work for 5 days a week. By weekend, I'm so tired that I just want to relax by listening to music or walking.

However, there are some rare moments when I have much more energy and willpower, and I push through and really am onto something, until sleep deprivation catches up to me again.

I guess some people have more natural energy and determination than others, and probably I'm on the lower half.

I'd love to try and make it so that I don't subconsciously fall into this mode of operation when I really need to be creative.
I wonder if Reddit will take the pricing feedback and just make it more reasonable. I’m surprised they haven’t done so already
