Bunch of people tying this to specific case, and saying how it's a good thing...

Just for consideration. If the NLRB recognized this is an issue for negotiation, it doesn't seem good to me to say "corporations, that already have a ton of the power in these negotiations can sue outside of the NLRB."

The problem I see is why wouldn't anti-union companies just sue for loss of business now? The goal posts have moved, and it doesn't seem like it would take much effort to get them to where you can sue people for sabotage just for striking in the first place.

Everyone who is saying this is a good thing is pointing to how the NLRB agrees wit h this. So why is it necessary if the governing body that oversees these disputes agrees with the principle of this for negotiations? It seems like we just lost more worker protections here, and that people are gonna be SLAPP-sued to oblivion anytime they strike...

Ask HN: What’s the deal with random people sending me money over PayPal?
From time to time I get emails from PayPal stating that someone sent me a small amount of money (always an odd number, between 5 and 21 Euro), and that I should register to claim this amount.

It is obviously a scam, because

- I don’t know the senders

- It’s to an email address I no longer use and that gets spammed frequently

- It’s from a PayPal affiliate in the country of the email domain (I no longer live there)

What is the game here? Is it to confirm my email address is real? Will they claim the money back? Or would I become a money laundering mule when they ask me to send the money back to a different account? I just can’t come up with anything that sounds remotely profitable to me.
Maybe they didin't calculated the digits, like this:

if toInt(number) % 10 != 0

print number

else

print number + "(" + number[0] + "," + number[1] + ")"
I hated school. I resented doing homework. I learned the material, but I didn't do the work. I got 100% on a mathematics final for example but still failed the class because I didn't do the busy work.

I didn't go to college because I just couldn't stand it. I self taught basically everything I'm good at.

Keep in mind, these educational pipelines aren't just there to make sure you know the stuff. They're there to also see if you'll eat the shit you have to eat to make it in your field. Sometimes that's important. Doctors are committing to work long hours at the drop of a hat while people are screaming at them for the rest of their lives. But in other cases it's just hazing, it's just gatekeeping to keep pay up. I've never been much of a shit eater, which is why I'm not a doctor.

I was in that meeting. It was an invite-only developers round table. The aim was to discuss the platform from the developers point of view, receive feedback to improve the API and other discussions in general.

This was followed by a public fireside chat hosted by Azeem Azhar and QA session.

From the context, I would believe that OpenAI didn’t want some of the points discussed in a closed room to go to public.

Dumb questions:

To clarify, is libreOffice a red hat project? Does this mean the project needs a new maintainer? Or is this saying that the red hat distro is no longer ensuring compatibility (in favor of a different product?)? If they're just dropping support from the distro, what are they replacing it with?

People in general are cultishly attracted towards instantiating centralized solutions to solve their problems. Simultaneously, they're blind to the long term negative effects that come from creating it, mainly:

- the developed overdependence on it for a particular service/function

- the societal mental lobotomization in terms of developing non-centralized solutions

- the incoming naivete of the next generation into assuming that it'll always exist & be there, and not planning for the worst case scenario

Referring back to Git, part of the reason could be that they assume a canonical "true" repository, which runs counter to how Git operates.

Less trade, not not no trade.

As for the politics, the US voters have finally come to realize how poorly they fared from so much being off-shored. As as result it's currently politically correct for US politicians to speak and act in ways that are far less pro-China. Corporate America marches on to profit pumping beat while it's political sock puppets play the bad cop to help subdue the growing discontent of the masses.

In my opinion that system would not only be heavily abused as dave4420 mentioned, but monetary damages and verdicts invoked by fellow drivers would lead to road rage wars and people being followed to their place of residence or work. People are already divided and unhealthy. I think this would amplify those issues. Here [1] is a short film covering the best case scenario of what this might look like.

If the goal is safety then I believe that would require re-engineering all the roads so that people can not hurt anyone if they tried but that's a big topic in and of itself and ultimately too expensive for any governments to adopt. It's not a technical challenge.

Perhaps a less risky option may be to send Dash-Cam video footage to the highway patrol or police and let them sort it out if they feel that person is a big enough risk. That keeps law enforcement in the loop and keeps the reporting party out of it. This way it is not person-vs-person but person-vs-traffic court and thus if a person is fined that means a cop or a court agreed with you and you are no longer the judge, jury and executioner. Law enforcement could imply it was a road camera that caught them. The camera video footer should have GPS date/time, coordinates and speed.

Realistically, the price he would need to increase to isn't even that high. $5 a month. Paying $5 a month for an app you use daily, repeatedly to the point it makes 300 API requests - isn't asking that much. Would all his users pay? No. But they can use the free Reddit app with ads and what not or the website. But realistically, it's easy to think 5-10% would pay. And he would make a healthy profit and Reddit would get paid.

The problem, everyone seems to think Reddit doesn't provide enough value to be worth $5 a month to enjoy without ads and a nice UI.

Reddit wants about $0,00024 an API request. To think that isn't reasonable, seems odd. Sendgrid wants $0.0399 per email. ScrapingBee wants $0.098 an API request. Docraptor wants $0.4 an API request/pdf. I'm sure I could carry on and find more and more sites that cost more per API request, I didn't find one that was cheaper.
/r/newsButNotModeratedVeryMuch might as well be a different website.

The thing about Reddit is that it's "the front page of the internet", and the "front page" has been captured by special interests in collaboration with Reddit, Inc.
> why should I put in the time and effort to learn an auxiliary tool to my job?

Auxiliary? I can’t speak for everyone, but VCS has to be up there as the most important development tool on my machine. I’d sooner uninstall my IDE than git.

No doubt it’s hard, but sitting down and making a concerted effort for a few hours does wonders. That’s not much of an ask for something most devs use every day.
In jurisdictions with weak/non-existing copyright laws or copyright law enforcement, there is not much difference between "the source code can be found somewhere on the internet" and "open source". Quite a large part of the world people is living in such jurisdictions.

Intellectual property is a convention. Saying that nothing exists outside of that convention is like saying that someone without official papers does not exist (which is, unfortunately, not an odd occasional curiosity, but a hidden assumption permeating everyone's lives).

This blog entry is a gentle and accurate rant/observation on git usability: it's still not working, so why do we put up with it?

I would recommend the comment by edblarnes:

> Git is a brilliant data model that we hack into being a code repo.
> It was designed from the model backwards, not the use cases inwards

Git can do a million things no one uses it for. It practice, teams develop and teach a happy-path workflow, and then for other things they drag in the git expert. But users do random walks through git operations, wasting everyone's time.

Design-wise, it's 80/20 again: most teams mostly work with gitflow-style workflows, with various rules -- AND most have some tiny variations they work in, so there's minimal capture of workflow.

As an aside, my gripe with git is text diffs and commit histories. It's simply too hard to understand changes and to review code when you have no control over the granularity of the change and are forced into per-commit granularity of comments (and even those are lost in squash).

At the very same time that we want to increase code velocity, teams have to impose e.g., 500-line limits on diffs to keep code reviews manageable. This slows change to tiny incremental steps. But they're only undigestible because the actual change is lost in the details, and commit comments have to decide between high-level changeset overviews or low-level file change descriptions. We need to zoom in and out to different levels of comments and changes.

IBM's 1990's (closed-source) Visual Age saved code as an AST, and could do great diffs. But now with LLVM and LSP, we're much, much better at sharing underlying infrastructure of languages.

My minimal rule for next-git would be that any automatable refactoring should appear as the one tiny change it is (renames, extracting methods, hoisting members in the hierarchy, etc.) in any language.

The reason we don't is not technical, because logical diffs are achievable. It's the coordination costs of shifting everyone from git to something else.

Given that, one option now is to support text conventions for commit comments that bridge comment levels and incorporate AST-level descriptors. They might be readable by humans, but most humans would use tooling to fly over and dive in.

The path to designing that is to work out the main and troubling use-cases, propose some formats, build in evolution/compatibility, and make some prototypes.

If people want to make a name for themselves, this is a way to do it that could transform the industry.

If a company wanted to make code understandable to AI, this is the transformative way to do it. If you squint, metadata over change is a model of intelligence. There's a lot of headroom in the space of building systems to feed AI instead of feeding human garbage into AI at sufficient volume to compensate for noise.
I assume some of this is balanced for not having to read the truly vitriolic stuff on there...

That said "Hitler was right" posts are a good balance to strike? That's someone saying that mass genocide is okay... That's concerning to me.
He obviously doesn't want to deal with all the filtering and AI re-education stuff, wants to just sell pure AI, but business people say hey ...
Show HN: An accessible, beautiful Raspberry Pi Pico pinout
I wanted to create an accessible alternative to the official Pico pinout image, offering more complete pin details, light/dark modes, screen-readable text, and at least some capacity to focus on the peripherals you’re interested in. It’s a sister site to the now ancient Raspberry Pi pinout (https://pinout.xyz/) which started out life hosted on a Raspberry Pi.

There’s a very simple trick where you have someone twist their arms in such a way that there hands end up in the opposite places than is typical.

Societies that don't have long-term replacement-level fertility are functionally extinct.

The civilization you belong to is effectively dying, and you're worried about whether you'll personally be comfortable as it all ends.

This has implications. Those who don't want it to die are best off severing whatever responsibility and connections they have to people like yourself. From their point of view, all resources are wasted on those who don't want to keep civilization alive. In a triage situation, such people won't get priority when it comes to being "fed, sheltered, and care for".

Your first counter-argument will probably be "well they're wrong". Which is irrelevant. They will continue to behave as if they're correct.
Maybe unpopular, definitely couched in unnecessary hyperbole, but otherwise I agree. Whenever any dev has ever come to me with any git problem, my first suggestion is to try a GUI. They all only expose a subset of git functionality, but IME that’s almost always a good thing: the happy path is narrow, and going off the happy path is frictionful. But if you absolutely need to, the CLI is still there for whatever you need to do.

Use BLS. Compensation for the average employee profile of "Software Developer" has far exceeded inflation.

I can't remember the exact timeframe, but roughly 2016 - 2022, salary for the profile of Developer has gone from ~$86k to ~$130k mean. I think that beats inflation quite significantly.
Completely anecdotal, but the best magic "show" I "attended" was a close-up magician at a medieval fair. During his show the crowd grew dramatically and inched closer and closer to his little table. No fence no nothing, so in the end the closest guys basically had their noses touching his coins and cards.

He ended his show with a snarky "of course i am messing with you ... these are magic coins, see? ... this one is this big from one side and ..." [flips coin on the table, no toss, just a simple half turn] "... and this big [larger] from the other".

I don't have the faintest idea how he did any of his tricks. People were watching him from inches away from every angle even from behind.
