I'm surprised to see the spread of emoji attributed to Microsoft in the initial sentences. It's possible that the author may be referring to the smiley faces in extended character pages, or maybe Webdings, but I generally associate the term 'emoji' with Unicode characters specifically, which I believe to have been petitioned by Google and popularized by Apple.

Interesting article either way.
There are many other factors that could cause the ARM IPO to do poorly other than the tech sector's health. See: https://twitter.com/chamath/status/1693995783715278957

As flawed as flakes are, they are significantly better than channels and all the hacks that surround them. Flakes are how I manage my system today and I honestly believe that there is no harm in building tooling around them - we all know that things are subject to change. This is now in my configs: https://codeberg.org/jcdickinson/nix/src/branch/main/flake.n...

Something I've noticed: `nixos/*` and `home-manager/*` are incompatible (home-manager expects 23.11 while nixos is 23.05).
Customer verbatims are like, an incredibly valuable currency. It's all fine to say "I know the product in and out and I think this is important". But it's another thing entirely to say "I know this is important because _this customer right here asked for literally this_".
I disagree a bit on both the classification and taxation fronts.

Classification should not be based on motorized/unmotorized, but rather on sustained kinetic energy as that would be correlated to damage caused in a crash. A small folding electric commuter bike may belong on a pedestrian path, but a tandem road bike might not. This is largely an edge case, but would play a larger role in separating EBikes from electric motorcycles.

Taxation should be based on infrastructure costs IMO. Unless we are building separate ebike lanes or repaving bike paths significantly more often I don't think it's fair to tax EBikes at a higher rate.
Why would they be unpaid? They are salaried employees presumably. So by definition all the work they do they are getting paid for

We like takers. We hate givers.
The claim that we can only store energy in batteries is a lie. In fact, storing energy in "e-fuels" is likely to be essential for a 100% renewable economy, as they are much better suited to long duration storage use cases.
Yes, on further reflection this seems like the likeliest explanation. I’m cleaning out the globe box

So you wouldn't be super worried about Russia and its hacker farms having deep info on every US citizen, for one example?

Foreign attacking agents can do much worse than garnish your wages. They can get a no-knock raid sent to your home if they have your info and you're a target of theirs. That's relatively easy. They can drive the US system to attack you by screwing with your life from outside the US where you can't do anything to stop them. And that can be done in so many ways it's rather obscene. Let's talk about the IRS economic ways they could do it; let's talk about the child protective services way they could do it; let's talk about the no-knock SWAT raid way they could do it; let's talk about the way they could go after your identity and bank accounts; let's talk about how they could focus in on your job, boss, co-workers, etc. and try to make your life hell there; and on and on and on it goes.

Yeah right. I dare anybody on HN to proclaim that, I want to see the supporting premise where the foreign party like Russia having all your info is not as big of a deal.

The notion that the FBI would do worse things from that position than Russia would is absurd, given what we've seen out of Russia. And China is absolutely no different in terms of its willingness to attack the US opportunistically (the Obama Admin had to obtain a cease fire agreement with China in regards to aggressively attacking the US re hacking, recall).

There are no chains at all on what Russia can do to screw with the US citizenry, given the information. And more advanced AI systems should make it even easier for them to do it in the near future.

If Russia could push a button and blank out 30 million US bank accounts, via a hacking plausible deniability means (anything that gives them the required minimum cover), they'd do it immediately. There's so little downside from where Russia is sitting these days, it'd be a no-brainer for them. What are you gonna do? Sanction them? We're sure as hell not going to war with Russia over that.
Today I'm pulling this out of a context object, can I still do that?
I don't have to speculate; that would be your department. There are records. What happens after they are arrested is that they're released to the same communities they attacked previously.
You're supposed to find the evidence for yourself. But if you never start, you never will. A closed mind is certain to lead to failure in meditation if it means you never try without expectation.

Actually, I should have been more specific. I should never have discussed "inequality" - it's a counterproductive buzzword, but it's what we were using.

I don't care how much money poor people are able to spend. What I actually want is for everyone to be able to eat, sleep in a stable home, spend time with their loved ones, pursue their hobbies and dreams, and participate in their local community/government at their pleasure. To be able to protect their health from preventable disease. All of these to me are human rights, not trophies to earn through work.

The second thing I want is to take away wealth from the extremely rich or otherwise divorce their unreasonable hoards of capital from political power. But the latter is extremely difficult to envision. I don't know how it could work robustly. I'd rather just take their money since money = power is the game they want to play.
...I find this hard to believe. A modern high-quality 4K HDR screen is exceedingly good at recreating all sorts of lifelike imagery. You're telling me the one thing it can't effectively recreate is a CRT television?

Input lag is probably the biggest issue, but you can get very low-latency screens nowadays! None of them are actually 0ms, but neither were CRTs unless you're measuring only the top of the screen and not the bottom.
I would say $100 was possible 5 years ago, now I’m sure inflation has made the market a bit more dear.

Isn't zero profit the point of a fully efficient economic model? Profits are excess money after costs by definition so in such a system you'd want profits to tend to zero.
I think it's a little unfair to attribute it to Microsoft and MSN Messenger as it was a concept that originated on Japanese phones AFAIK.

Also Microsoft's emojis are currently the worst by a mile out of the big tech companies.
Google does monitor network usage and activity for at least some of their non-developer contractors. I briefly dated a Ukrainian woman who had a mouse jiggler plugged into her Chromebook to game the activity monitoring.
If someone is going to urinate, you'd rather have them stand inside the tent and piss towards the outside (which is unpleasant) rather than stand outside the tent and piss towards the inside (urine landing in you). Similarly, better to have a disrupter on payroll causing issues within your organization than disrupting it.
I can recommend Shinzen Young as a senior meditation teacher with a high degree of rigor. He self-consciously will use mystical language, but is also upfront about the fact that he remains agnostic. The Science of Enlightenment is the best place to start with his work.
I’m staying in a French seaside town at the moment, where a new MUP has been installed from sea front back through the town within the last year. It’s fucking crazy dangerous. I’ve had to yank my 6yo out of the way of some asshole riders a couple of times this week. It’s taken the place of the footpath that was here before…

I’m all in favour of new cycling infrastructure, but I reckon we need to go full Netherlands and put it on both sides of the road and have directional lanes, leaving the footpaths intact.
If I have a lot of time, I will mountain bike.

If I have a short amount of time, I will do some gardening. It's very relaxing and rewarding in a simple kind of way.

Got to be honest as someone trying not to get caught it’s probably something I would look to check before I ran that command.

In that kind of environment making assumptions like that could often mean the difference between jail or not in some cases. If it were me… I’d certainly see what I could find out about the binary before I ran it.

However I do think trying to make the sha256sum and or strings binary to both work and log (ideally silently and externally) would be a neat idea.

I asked the HN crowd's perspective just over a week ago [1]

I guess we can ask again.
HN readers, what's it like for you right now trying to find a job?
First -- thank you for the thanks! It means a lot. :) Secondly -- same. It's the way my brain works. In a particular test I was administered a while back, 'coding' (i.e. mapping information transiently to symbols) was by far one of my weakest skills, oddly enough.

To me, I think in shapes. Ideas have shapes. Some ideas have very similar shapes.

This makes me very good at neural network engineering and research.
The reason is pretty simple. As companies get larger, the culture dies.

Those who joined big-tech early-ish in their career likely see the state of the company at the time as way better than what they're used to. Then it gets worse.

It doesn't really matter where you enter in the history of the company, the culture is almost always going to be the best as you know it when you join and get worse over time. Very rarely does the opposite happen.
I thought that was the same. I still don't see the difference.
Pocket change for them. Not even.
I highly doubt it. I hope I'm wrong but there were far too many companies that raised 100s of millions with no kind of business model during the 2021 bubble. Those companies would have to go out of business before the market can go back to exuberance again. As an example this company https://www.gather.town/ has raised $76 million.

I think you underestimate the amount of work, globally, done in Excel. If Excel vanished it would be a business/economic extinction level event, It's not going anywhere.

As a long time freeze user, it seems literally every time I go to unfreeze the process has changed at one of them and it can't be unlocked with the username +password I setup. The last time was because I didn't log in for 3 years, meant that the account was locked without a bunch of additional validation. Sometimes the validation is just knowing the usual historical address/etc info they ask when you initially set it up (which seems insecure itself), or its more involved.

So, give it time, when you least expect it, they will take 60 days to validate something about your account before allowing you to unfreeze it.
I agree that the code will become unreadable as soon as you try to use inline functions (since there are no lambda expressions).
However, the fp style (independent of this library) encourages to decompose the codebase into small and - if possible - pure functions. For testability.
Once the code is structured that way, it's no longer a `cheat`, these pure functions can be used right away in function composition to create more complex structures.
I have no sympathy for Google, but I don't think you can apply that value heuristic. The bottom of the bell curve at most large companies is actually negative. People that not only don't contribute enough to revenue to cover their salary, but actively waste other people's time.

Average revenue per employee is just that, an average. It also includes work that was done in the past and keeps paying dividends even though the employee might not even be there anymore.

I’m sorry to hear that this was your experience.

Is your reference to New Atlantis? In reading the below article [0] I'm not certain if Wallace was going for a similar point as Bacon. But maybe you have a different interpretation.

Wallace develops his point after the story ". . . we also never end up talking about just where these individual templates and beliefs come from. Meaning, where they come from INSIDE the two guys. As if a person's most basic orientation toward the world, and the meaning of his experience were somehow just hard-wired, like height or shoe-size; or automatically absorbed from the culture, like language. As if how we construct meaning were not actually a matter of personal, intentional choice."

Just wanted to point out that the way you presented the question, and the forum you presented it in, made it more likely that you would hear from people that agreed with you. Generally, if people don't have a problem with something, they just don't bother chiming in. If they're already concerned, they're more likely to respond. So you may not be getting a representative sample of the actual opinions that people hold on the issue.
I charge my Mac with USB-C. Your Asus has that, right? But yeah, I forgot they brought MagSafe back. Thanks, corrected.
I have never ever heard of someone cycling to work in spandex (as a Dutch person).

Spandex and fancy bikes are the territory of wielrenners (lit. ‘wheel-runners’), the rest of us use simple city bikes, and you’re not really going to break a sweat on those.

With Tesla's Autopilot, you are driving the vehicle.

With Mercedes new L3 system (which I'm going to assume you haven't ever used, since it isn't available yet on a vehicle for purchase), the vehicle is driving.

This isn't about Elon, it's about the capabilities of the vehicle you're sitting in. You're also ignoring TFA -- if Tesla's Autopilot is the best thing on the market, why are they asking officials to redact information on whether or not someone got into accidents while using it?
In text sarcasm generally works best when it is either appropriate for the setting or it is blatantly obvious. If one employs it otherwise then being treated seriously should be expected. When in doubt many will opt to treat it as genuine since reacting to a serious comment as if it were sarcasm comes across as condescending.
I agree, now that you pointed it out, there probably isn't a legal leg to stand on. IANAL, though--would be interested in hearing from an attorney about that.

The "Sample UML" is no UML. My apologies for being rude but this is not a component diagram nor any other standardized UML diagram. UML components have a visual indicator (to not confuse them with classes), use ports and connectors are consistently applied and do not vary just because the node is a S3 bucket or whatever.

It is a valid diagram helping understanding something and the tool seems awesome but please do not pitch this as "Sample UML"
It depends.. the waterfall effects in the likes of Sonic are pretty hard without a real CRT.

If you're using an emulator, there are quite a few filters that can help to recreate that old feel, none are quite right though.
> There's a level of admiration I actually have for China. Their basic dictatorship is actually allowing them to turn their economy around on a dime.

It's wrong, too - the Chinese economy is in trouble, and has been since Covid. Xi has accumulated more autocratic power, but if he's able to use it to "turn their economy around on a dime" then he's not doing so.
Very cool!

You can get nixpkgs unstable like this:

that is actually hilarious. i've been enjoying ChatGPT instead of stack overflow precisely because it avoids that sort of judgemental answer - the AI just answers my question no matter how dumb it is, whereas stackoverflow will tell me the question is dumb whether it is or not. it's funny to see that llama has replicated stack overflow's judginess.
The example actually does handle all errors, because the values are of type `Either` and the composition functions take this into account.
If you would like to handle a particular error sitation explicitly, e.g. to enrich it with context or to transform one error into another, you may use `MapLeft` or `Swap`.
Enjoy shit while it lasts, I guess.
It's easy when you have John von Neumann as a student.
Do you have a suggestion for a more neutral way to ask this question to avoid bias?
The problem is that it is an issue in 1% of cases, and it is hard to know in advance which 1%. So either you do a proper analysis to see how many inputs you really need, or you use an algorithm that scale.

For sorting, getting a n.log(N) algorithm that doesn't break down is usually just a matter of calling a library, or writing <100 lines of code if you really can't use a library. It usually doesn't have much of a negative impact when the number of inputs is small, and it is often simpler than making a proper analysis. So, when in doubt, never use a n^2 sorting algorithm.
I think you can compare meditation to the field of "medicine" or "diet." There are cranks and pseudoscience in there too, but I wouldn't write off the whole field as irrational. It's got a semantic problem too. If more people called it "mindfulness" or "focus practice" that would be more accurate for how most normal, secular people meditate. Maybe even calling it meditation vs. alternative meditation (like alternative medicine). LOTS of different forms of meditation, and not all I think are worthwhile. Some are better than others.

TM seems like a total scam/fake though, just like chiropractic, astrology, juice cleanses etc.
Similar problem will occur when using min-width and max-width with same value of Xpx - they both match at exactly Xpx. For mutual exclusion `not` should be used. Or https://drafts.csswg.org/mediaqueries/#range-context, but that's at only ~83% global adoption rate at the moment, according to https://caniuse.com/css-media-range-syntax.
That's true. I forgot they brought Magsafe back. (Side note: I don't know why they couldn't just make a standard USB-C connector, except magnetic...)
I would hardly call this normalizing.

> Finding the IT workers they need to meet hiring goals or complete projects is a struggle for more than two-thirds of executives

This should tell you everything you need to know about the market. Jobs are being added, but the quality of jobs has deteriorated. If 1000 people were laid off from Google and 1000 jobs opened up for contract roles in consultancies that pay below market wages, I would not call that normalizing.

Anecdotally, it is still very hard to find a reasonable paying job. I’m not talking Google/Facebook salaries, I’m talking engineering at Albertsons salaries.

I was a hold-out for quite a while, like the author, because they felt very twee. The one that convinced me though was the thumbs-up emoji, which can be an entire reply to an email or text, that says "I've read this, and we don't need to continue the conversation", with undertones of agreement or a thank-you. Somehow single-word replies like "Gotcha" or "Yes" felt too curt, and anything longer invited further discussion where I didn't want any. I don't really use any other emojis though - I love using language too much, and all of the others feel like I can express myself better through words.
Me too. At least they show how entries are being selected for comparison. One thing that always frustrates me when watching videos like the one linked in the main post is when teachers try to use a real world example where agency is involved (like students ordering themselves by height). In the video he says "The shortest person in the class, he _knows_ his place. He will quietly come and stand in the beginning of the list." Data _doesn't_ know. It needs some external process to determine its place.
