Ask HN: Do you know of any web dev agency that is a non-profit?
If so, can you share your experience (working with them as an employee, owner, client etc.)?
Yes - as someone with this problem, you are spot on.

That says nothing about why they have trouble abstaining.

One element of it: teasing, judgement. Sometimes you fear those reactions to your decision so you pick the easy path and avoid that type of interaction. I know it sounds silly.

And you may also fear the broader possibilities when someone asks you why you are abstaining. Lots of people do.
I still remember the wikipedia article on "slashdot trolling phenomena" (yes, it was its own page, not a subsection of the slashdot page!) describing the gnaa as an "organised coalition of slashdot trolls". for some reason, at the time I thought that was the funniest phrase I'd ever seen on wikipedia.
It's not so much to look like you're drinking, but to participate in the same thing that everyone else is doing.

In most of Europe (and probably elsewhere), you can’t throw a rock without hitting some sort of historically significant thing.

We used to smoke weed on the local Roman wall. It was also a popular destination for rock climbers to practice. The wall has been there for 2000 years. It’s fine.
If I understand you correctly, you’ve retreated from your position that the marriage was “interracial”, but maintain that nevertheless there was something controversial about it at the time. What was the controversy? Can you support your claim, other than by asking me to search for octogenarians and trust their memories?

I count my lucky stars I grew up in a city with a lot of cheap, all ages shows. Of the shows I've been to over the years, seeing Q and not U in a church basement in ~2003 still sticks out in my mind.
And both of them contain a bunch of protons, yet neither, nor their combination, behave like loose protons (aka Hydrogen).
Yeah, I rather suspect they'll be much less forgiving of this sort of thing in the future.

All that takes is a lean quarter and some MBA to coin a term for rookie mistake-windfalls, and they will come to feel entitled to revenue from it.
"thats what legal aid is for" - public defenders are famously underpaid and overworked in most environs. If you rely on them for your defense it will be very poor.

I've noticed that as well on plastic decks I've been on. They feel bad on feet and seemingly get hotter than wood (but that could be an illusion).
The rave sex scene is frequently critiqued when the Matrix movies are discussed. I don't think a lot of the criticism of the Matrix's sex scene was actually about Neo and Trinity having sex, but about how it was shot and edited and how uncomfortably long the entire scene lasted.
There is a tree in Brazil[0], which is probably the biggest tree in the world that occupies a space of 8,500m² and is only ~150 years old. I do think that this tree that is a forest by itself has a conscious and intentionally creates the environment that helped its growth.

Ask HN: What do I do? I love writing software but hate these interviews?
- Throwaway account because I'm pretty easily identifiable XD

- Backstory: I resigned from a great job at a great company a few months ago (was just kinda tired and wanted a change).

- I have recently dipped my toes back into the water, interviewing at a few places that I think I'd be a good fit for (from the outside looking in).

- I don't take the "kill spray" approach to interviewing. I do genuinely make an attempt to submit a thoughtful application to a company where I think the fit (for both parties) is real.

- I'd say I've had about 3 interviews reach the initial stages of a system design/architecture interview.

- This is actually a big deal for me because unlike a lot of others, I choose to not pursue interviews that require LeetCode/HackerRank/etc (I have several years of experience at companies you've heard of, and have thousands of lines of public OSS code in various languages).

- However, my interview experiences are ... awful.

- During a system design interview a week or two ago, the interview did not lead the interview. Don't get me wrong, having been on both sides of this interview, I understand the point of them - you have to show tradeoffs, start small, scale up, talk about alternatives, etc. However, the interview did not lead the conversation whatsoever. I'm asking the interviewer "I'm happy to talk about XYZ or happy to talk about scaling this up if you prefer" - the interviewer just kinda shrugs.

- This isn't a one-off thing. I've noticed that generally the interviews are horrible :'( -- arbitrary interview loop sizes (4? 5? 6?) - hard pass. Arbitrary success metrics because "I just want to see how you think" - um no.

- I hope I don't sound like too much of a baby HN, but I'm literally on the edge and am thinking maybe after just 7 years of software (during the golden easy money years) maybe it's time to switch to something else? I simply cannot continue to subject myself to these extremely ambiguous, grey interviews where it seems determining my ability to write production software is the _last_ thing on the list they're checking for.

- It would be helpful to get a kick in the ass from someone, or to get some perspective because I simply don't understand how I can get new job, if I can't even find an interview loop I actually want to do.

- Mind you, the worst interviews I'm referring to above tend to be from medium to large size companies. For smaller companies/startups I've noticed the interviews are still pretty fair and decent.

- Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Even so, putting on Rawl's Veil of Ignorance, if you were in the bottom America, would you choose to be in a lottery that would place you, randomly, in another situation? Sure, you might end up a living in a chalet in the Swiss Alps, but it's a lot more likely you'd be in the global south toiling just to survive day to day.
And the confounders of wealth, contraception and women's education are just going to be ignored are they?
I beg to differ. It would be more correct to say:

Labour: Try to copy the Torries in everything but intensity. Try to be slightly less awful than the Torries only to a degree necessary to convince the shell shocked and horrified voters to vote for you.

This is how Labour has been operating since Tony Blair, with the minor diversion of Jeremy Corbyn. But Jeremy Corbyn was punished and dragged trough the mud so thoroughly that it is unlikely that him or anyone like him will lead Labour ever again. So we are back to Tony Blair Labour.

This is all very similar to the relationship between the Republicans and Democrats in the US.
That's basically the same claim. This is saying "the europeans brought them, and they spread around faster than we thought". Which is interesting and fine, but that's a far cry from the above claim of "actually, that ten thousand year period where they appeared to be extinct never happened and they were around the whole time".
I swear start-ups try to hire for Judas Goats as often as possible, normalizing long hours and "giving your all".
I am quite open about my opinion regarding most of Go's design decisions.
I can see that point of distinction. I guess I'm still not getting how someone is curious about being exclusively sober if they are like most people - only drinking small amounts occasionally. It's basically the same as the days you're not drinking if you're going weeks or months between drinks. If dependant, then why switch in stuff that also has risks like kava or very sugary drinks? Just be sober, or don't, not like a real curiosity to me. I don't know. Maybe it's just not for me.
Yeah, agreed. Somehow CSS and a very general concern for UX have become my most valuable skills as a developer. I think the title of the article isn't correct. It should be "The Negative Impact of Responsive Design by People Who Aren't Good At It."
Over the last few years, I've become deeply obsessed with a tea hobby. Specifically, with specialty and high end teas such as puerh and oolong. With it, I've observed how tea is perceived around the world. In China, especially Yunnan, tea is so engrained with socializing. Anywhere people interact, tea is served. I've found if you can sit down with a friend or acquaintance and spend the few minutes to few hours one might over beer, tea can be an equally social action. It's similar, but has some notable differences in that all parties can stay sober, level headed, and even energetic.

At this point, I greatly prefer conversing over tea than over beer. It doesn't necessarily have to be about the tea, but people will naturally be curious. I couldn't recommend it more. It does require some knowledge of buying and serving high quality tea, both of which are pretty unknown in the West. I'm working on starting a importing/retailing business to share the love for that very reason.
We can definitely starve a robot, just don't give it a way to recharge itself.
You can be fired in EU too, it just costs a few months' salary. And you can't quit without notice too so it goes both ways.
> No, they have to better than both random and "everyone is, on average, and over an extended period of time contributing roughly the same". That's quite a challenge.

This is something virtually all functional companies do when they decide raises. The fact that they don't do it perfectly isn't a huge problem, they just need to be more right than wrong.

> Do you go to customers and ask them which features provide the most value to them, and then follow the code back to the people who implemented them? Do you go to the customers who paid the most, and repeat the question to them only?

Does productivity equal sales? I don't think so. If someone does a good job implementing a feature that doesn't drive sales, that should count toward their productivity. Equally, imagine a task that could be assigned to anyone that drive sales: it doesn't make sense to reward the person who happened to be assigned this task when anyone could have done it.

You're demanding way too much here because you're unwilling to get "handwavy" and instead want some rigorous way to quantify productivity. Instead, embrace subjectivity! Imagine you're in charge and ask yourself questions like:

1. If I need to organize a meeting to address some problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible, who would I invite to the meeting?

2. If someone tells me he plans to quit, how much would I be willing to offer to convince him to stay?

3. If someone quits, how hard are they to replace? In terms of hiring a replacement and/or transferring their responsbilities to someone else.

I suppose there are some workplaces where it's genuinely hard to rank people. But my sense is that they're rare, small, and careful about hiring. Everywhere I've worked, this is not the case and I'm fairly sure this is the norm.
Part of what makes physical controls better on standard cars is that their diversity of size, shape and feel makes them easier to identify by touch. A knob on the left for volume, a button in the middle of the knob for radio on/off, a pair of buttons for scanning stations, etc.

My CRV has a strip of identical buttons along the side of the display, and I find them just bad as touch screen for all but the top and bottom buttons. I imagine this would have simular issues.
I stopped when reddit came along because the reddit engine was simply more pleasant to use. even when I browsed slashdot regularly I almost never commented because something about the ux was off-putting.
Nah, for 98% of my career it has been managers. I was not always a good programmer, obviously, but even with that, most of the crappy code I wrote was attributed to having to rush.
> In my (albeit limited) experience, if you can’t get some sort of provenance documentation for exotic hardwoods from the lumberyard, it’s almost guaranteed to be unsustainably harvested, mostly outright illegally.

If you can't get any provenance documentation, how are you assuming it's harvested illegally?
Does this page ever actually load?
> It doesn't matter how many diagram signs they put up before the roundabout entry

It doesn't help that often those signs are pretty confusing all by themselves (at least the ones I've seen), and can't really be grokked from a brief glance driving by.

It would be better if all such roundabouts were consistent in how you should navigate them, but that isn't the case in my area.
login.gov is the government's (quite fantastic) auth flow - id.me is a private one that the IRS contracted. I wish there were a rule that all online government services needed to use login.gov, but alas it's optional.
The fact that they're willing to absorb that risk is a strong signal they're solving a real problem. It's been a while since I've worked somewhere with on-prem hardware, but I remember long build-outs, unhelpful vendors: A RAID card firmware bug bricked our SAN. Our extremely expensive support contract gave us front-row seats to finger-pointing between the card manufacturer and Dell but ultimately no solution was provided to us. Our IT director, who was absolutely furious, basically had to twisted Dells arm to get them to send us replacement hardware. Whole thing was a giant fiasco.

This is the secret none of those existing vendors (Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc) are willing to tell you: They have very limited technical expertise on what they sell you and outside of some specialized troubleshooting they can do, they'll defer to their vendors. The understanding is that you've got the intellectual horsepower on staff to cope with their various shortcomings.
It's a bunch of stones. How would anyone know whether it was 200 years old or 2000? You can't ask archeologists in for every old cowshed built by your great grandfather!
>average income has gone up

To that I would say there is likely a problem with average. I didn't see a break down of the data in your link, but admittedly its my lunch break and I didn't have the time to really dig for it either. But its entirely possible that some groups saw an outsized growth in wages while others didn't.

> Direct cash transfer programs are supported by a vast international evidence
base (Baird et al., 2013). Globally, they are among the most well-evaluated interventions for addressing poverty,
boosting well-being, increasing educational attainment, and improving health outcomes and employment (Baird et al.,
2013; Pega et al., 2017). In the U.S. and Canada, numerous programs offer examples of how DCTs have have reduced childhood
obesity, improved health outcomes, reduced hospitalization rates, increased savings, and supported economic security. These
include the maintenance income experiments of the late 1960s in Denver, Seattle, New Jersey, Iowa, and Indiana, the Canadian
‘Mincome’ Experiment, and the ongoing Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (Forget, 2011; Guettabi, 2019; Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, 1983).

> Counter to common public narratives, numerous studies show that offering
DCTs to people experiencing poverty and adversity do not result in money
poorly spent, increased substance use, or reduced motivation to work (Evans &
Popova, 2017; Morton et al., 2020). Instead, cash is primarily spent on basic needs--food, utilities, other goods--as
evidenced in the early report on the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (West et al., 2020). The Child Tax
Credit further illuminated that regular unconditional cash contributes to reductions in food insecurity and overall poverty
(Parolin et al., 2022; Shafer et al., 2022). Furthermore, in Canada, a randomized trial of DCTs to adults experiencing
homelessness also found improvements in the speed of exiting homelessness, reductions in the amount of time spent in
homelessness, and reductions in spending on alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs among DCT program participants
(Foundations for Social Change, 2020).
That’s fine though. Thanks to time value of money, if it costs half as much but has to be replaced in half the time it’s actually quite profitable. (Assuming, of course, the labor cost is low.)

If they can be recycled like lithium, even better.
It's not nearly "full", whatever that means. It's full of single family housing and far less dense than many other cities.

Additionally, density is good for the environment because it lowers emissions and lowers utility overhead. People being more spread out means more emissions resulting from transit, because everything they need to get to is farther apart. I don't know why you'd think otherwise (and you don't say).

Finally, the decisions made by San Francisco affect people other than those who live in the city. Since the foundational principle of democracy is the ability to have a say in decisions that affect you, those people deserve (and have) power over land-use decisions in San Francisco.
There's something sacred in these old crafts. A blend of unknowns (no theory of anything), but personal involvement, patience, care, enough aesthetics but no quantified perfection..
> Now you can all explain that with numbers and reports but sentiment doesn't care about that. Public opinion is an inherently irrational thing.

Is it public opinion being irrational or governments around the world playing games with "basket of goods", "core" inflation and other bullshit designed to convince their citizens to trust magic math formulas instead of their own eyes?
I can't help but find it interesting that the country with the lowest birthrate has a reputation for having less sex in its media. I wonder if we'd find a relationship in general between some metric of sex on TV with the country's birthrate. But I'm sure I'm not the first one to think of this conspiracy theory.
I would spend my entire time trying to cheat or subvert the rules.

> However, the Roman Empire was basically over by 256 AD

Instability during the crisis of the third century was not the end of the Empire in the slightest; especially considering that the Palmyrene Empire lasted hardly more than a single decade before it was reconquered by the Romans who held on to it for centuries longer.
Thats why its dumb to wait until people are already basically formed before we introduce them to adult things like paying bills, having a budget, using a good forecasting app to be able to understand how each choice affects you and being able to see the bigger picture that arises from all the discrete small transactions. That last one is more my thing but I honestly don't know how anyone functions without it regardless of how well they're doing.
Forget the numbers, just knowing that CEO is not fucking me over to build a second vacation home is Aspen would be enough for me.

Any CDN that doesnt charge for egress (like cloudflare) will deliver your videos without charges.
eSIM would be grand
I'm surprised this about egress without mentioning the new Sippy: https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/data-migration/sippy/

It allows you to incrementally migrate off of providers like S3 and onto the egress-free Cloudflare R2. Very clever idea.
I waited for years till they drop the butterfly keyboards, they announced the first 16" MBP with new style keyboard and physical ESC key and I jumped on it, knowing full well about all the Apple Silicon rumours. In the end I don't regret it and plan to have this machine for a few more years - the plan was 5, but now I have an M2 Mac Mini which fills the performance gap nicely and MBP can be light work and consumption machine with the added benefit of natively running Windows.

> The joke’s humor is in the fact that it’s such a strange coincidence

No it isn't a joke, people know their phone is listening to them, smart assistants has made the world perfectly aware of how much they are monitored. So since they know the phone is listening, they think the phone showed them the ad since it listened to them. It isn't a joke, people think this, memes aren't always jokes they are just ideas that spread easily.

Look at this thread for example, does this look like a joke to you? People think it is listening to everything and just give up and go on with their life, that is what typical people believe.

"This has happened to me several times. Sadly, there is not much you can do about it. If your phone has a mic, it is listening to everything you say 24/7."

> would make sense to do the first assignment with low-level tool

Sure, but if the goal is to teach programming, I think vim massively confuses a beginner. vim is hard for beginners, famously so. Something like VSCode, used as a remote text editor, is trivial and familiar to anyone who has used at MS Word. I agree it should be introduced, but there's definitely some cargo cult around vim and "the old ways".
This is a top potential cause for sure. The variability can change drastically with temperature differences
If you are a “passenger” sitting in a car being driven by Tesla, the massive screen makes a lot of sense.

Tesla would get more credit for their approach if full-self driving were more complete - and I believe Tesla thought they would be further along with FSD than they are.

As it stands, driving a car with a massive screen is annoying and relatively dangerous.
I learned how to write code in community college. After getting my Associates degree, going to university to complete my undergrad was easy. Why?

Even if we aced every test, all our assignments needed to work 100% in order to pass the class. The assignments were then graded on style. The professors were all current or former professionals - our code had to pass their test suite.
