I'm glad you caught that because as a Catholic this has been a source of tremendous annoyance to me - the pope must be one of the most misquoted people in the modern era. So much so that I routinely just ignore "pope says" type articles.

If course even if he did say that it doesn't touch on morals or dogma so it's just a guy voicing his personal opinion. It would just be weird for him to voice it using his religious platform.

That said it is likely that some group in the Vatican has started a teach kids to code program under their charity wing. As to how effective such programs are - I'm skeptical. There are already lots of great python resources online - is this going to be geared towards Catholic kids and parents to help that niche get interested in code?
Even if I disagreed, this level of snark would be worth an HN award. Well done
In my younger days, I was a Beaver leader. Beavers are Boy Scouts in the 5-6 age group. They are not empty headed. They are extremely inquisitive and easily understand things that are surprising to adults. I would even say on average, their observational skills are better than those seen in adulthood.

They're still young enough to have not had every question they ever hear from an adult as something they'll be graded on yet. Pass or Fail. So when they don't know, they tell you and hope that you'll tell them or guide them to the right answer.

I personally believe this pressure in older kids and adults alike, to not FAIL (ie: not know the expected answer) is because of the way school tends to turn everything into a binary test. We are literally taught to avoid "I don't know."
Never knew that existed, or whether I needed it. Looks very interesting, thanks.
Thank you. I was exepcting a comment on the great Catima. The beauty of F-Droid available Android apps.

Nonsense. My gross might not be quite 80K, but my total tax burden including social security is about 33%. The healthcare system here is a mix of state provided urgent/serious care - to a high standard - and private but very cheap options for more mundane matters. Furthermore, that social security contribution buys into one of best defined benefit pension schemes still available anywhere.
As someone that's not bought in on "use server" yet - ugh. What the fuck were they thinking?
Your license does not seem quite the same as wg-easy's. Wg-easy's states that the allowed uses are "for yourself" or "for a company". Yours states "for personal purposes" or "for a company".

As an academic/non-profit researcher who frequently works through my personal devices, I presumably can't use wg-easy in any workplace setting, but presumably can't legally use your software at all.

Yeah, it's even an option in the proto IDL to generate C++ code that uses arena allocation. So this is probably for protos, in particular.

Sales Compensation
I am trying to understand how to fairly compensate sales people in an organization.

In this case, we are talking about a B2B company that sells hardware (mostly systems, not individual components) to small and medium businesses and, sometimes, larger enterprise-level organization.

There are dozens of compensation systems. Some produce a mercenary sales force (commission only), which is likely counterproductive. Others can cause a situation where an occasional large sale earns the sales person an exorbitant amount of money (high base salary with a fixed commission from dollar 0).

I am looking for resources on how to design a workable sales compensation structure.

Frankly, one of the things that has always bothered me is the asymmetry that exists between the engineers who create the product and sales people who can make millions selling it. Not sure if anyone has come up with a way to deal with that asymmetry other than, perhaps, stock options.

Thanks.
I'll always choose Intel architecture if I can because the software just works.
Until my signing a contract means signing it and a checksum with my private key ... this whole space is flawed.
Disagree. It’s not weird at all, and I would say quite productive, being that a billionaire crank is a potentially dangerous, with nearly unlimited ability to attempt to spread his influence countering it requires people to speak up.
as someone who used solaris on big servers quite a lot, i never saw any cobol there. not to say it doesn't exist, but it would be somewhat unusual.
”Contrary to the decolonizing narrative, Gaza is not technically occupied by Israel—not in the usual sense of soldiers on the ground. Israel evacuated the Strip in 2005, removing its settlements. In 2007, Hamas seized power, killing its Fatah rivals in a short civil war. Hamas set up a one-party state that crushes Palestinian opposition within its territory, bans same-sex relationships, represses women, and openly espouses the killing of all Jews.
Very strange company for leftists.”
I don't understood why plugin hybrids aren't more popular. The Toyota Prius prime is like a 'just take my money' car for me. My commute would be all electric... but I can still use gas if need be. Best of all worlds.
I’m not familiar with how digital modes work. What speed can you operate at say on 2m/70cm?
I didn't know this existed! It should see much wider adoption by agencies, and I might even email my reps to say so.

It's beyond ridiculous that a for-profit company (ID.me) was awarded a juicy, logo-plastering contract with the IRS. The notion that verifying your identity for tax purposes is a valid insertion point for middleman enterprise is absurd.
> For what I would like to use it, I believe it would be ethical (as for what's considered ethical among street photographers and concerning street photography laws where I live).

Define "street photographer" because I am embarrassed to be confused with the likes of you given I'm perfectly satisfied with my Leica M6 and Contax G2.
> This is accepting defeat to the internet. I say that we should see more competition.

I think here is the misunderstanding. There is no competition. Ham operators happily use the internet to communicate when appropriate and at the same time use the ham bands for playing with their radio equipment. I don't think many of them want to use their radios to do what they do with their smartphones and vice versa.

It is like saying that gliders and airliners are in competition. Even if both are about aerodynamics, no glider pilot is mad because using a glider is inconvenient for travelling overseas, no one thinks gliders have "lost" to airliners because of the insistance on not using engines (motorgliders exist but they are still inadequate for practical travel). Glider pilots take the plane like everyone else when going on vacation.

It doesn't mean gliders are useless, a few of them have practical applications, and they make excellent training for "useful" plane pilots, in fact most of the best airline pilots have flown gliders, and some still do.

Same idea with ham radio. Mostly but not completely impractical, and many of the people who now work with "useful" radios like the one that's in your phone giving you internet access started as amateurs.

The entire industry of trucking needs to be overhauled. From the predatory and grossly unfair hiring and labor practices, to the terrible pay, and safety on a shoestring, government must act to protect drivers and the public.
Oh yeah, farmers are engineers of the land and nature for sure. They know their processes, their dependencies, and procedures in extreme depth and they are complex and unforgiving. Farming isn’t gardening, and every farm is a business end to end - and a risky one with low payouts and huge downsides that are often entirely out of your control. Modern farming techniques aren’t that way out of some sort of malevolent spite, they actually work and make farms profitable reliably. That they blast the earth and poison the populace is sad and most farmers don’t relish destroying their land.
Google Flights came about, in particular, from the acquisition of ITA Software which was a Common Lisp shop. Much of that system is, reportedly, still in Common Lisp.
Why should the government buy them instead of providing the grounds for private party to access the real estate and do it themselves? Where do you draw the line? Should the government continue to push companies to fail so they can buy more land until they own it all?

I’m low income and I work hard to afford living in SF and I don’t agree with having to pay even higher taxes for the government to waste 80% of that on bureaucracy and 20% in housing.

I agree with you in that they shouldn’t bail anyone out, but I think they should just operate in their realm: zoning, code and incentives to entice the change to residential.

I have recently switched from two 24" monitors to a single 34" and I can't lie I should've done it sooner.

While the amount of real estate is comparable there are two major advantages for programming with a widescreen for my use case.

1) Ergonomics. Having two monitors meant effectively using one monitor and occasionally the second one. But I ended up using one first. Which means that you either have your head tilted when you focus on the primary, or you keep it in front of you and then tilt the head for the secondary. It's not comfortable in the long run.

2) Two separate monitors generally end up with one taking the ide, but not really having the right amount of space anyway (think VSCode with two open files side by side and the terminal and possibly the explorer or debugger) one single screen becomes too cluttered. I can extend the editor to the second window, but then you have the bezels cutting the editor effectively in halt. A 34" widescreen (especially in 21:10 format) allows me to have more screen space for the editor (2 thirds) and still have enough space for a browser for documentation or the front end.

I can't lie, if I could I would travel back in time and tell my younger self to buy a 21:10 widescreen I would anyway.

Ergonomics are by far the most important factor in work comfort and the monitor generally outlives many machines.

As a note, I have a VA gaming monitor, the BenQ EX3410R and it's great as an office monitor and occasional gaming.

I think websites like rtings put too much emphasis on stuff that it's borderline a plus but not really core (number of ports available e.g.), or not really that common (PIP is not really such a common widespread need imho) or easily solvable (stands, and their limited flexibility, are better replaced by VESA arms anyway).

I can also vouch that the 40" LG is fantastic for office usage. My colleague has it and it's a great machine for web development, but the price is really high and the usage essentially constrained to work only.
One downside of ammonia is its toxicity (with an IDLH threshold of 300 ppm). I doubt we'll ever see cars running on it, and storing large amounts as energy storage sounds risky.

Do we know if this process is burstable (i.e. the devices for running it are likely cheap enough compared to the energy requirement that they don't need to run 24/7, and could use excess renewable energy when available)?

Sure, but if that comes at the cost of the hostages they're killing the hostages to kill the ransomers.
I haven't researched the law here in a while, but my general impression the last time I did was that there isn't much in the way of legal requirements for signing things digitally beyond the federal ESIGN Act, general principles of state contract law, and the smattering of very particular kinds of transactions that require processes like notarization or recording. For everyday deals between the vast majority of people and companies, it really comes down to whether what the e-sign collects and saves will be available and convincing down the line, when there's a dispute.

When dealing with government entities, you may run into policies of those entities that require use of a pre-approved service. For example: https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/regulations/current-re...

All that said, I have both implemented electronic signature in my own software and reliably recommended clients running sales ops just buy DocuSign. Familiarity and credibility can matter way more than legal or technical details...or not at all.
Dougk is one of the SBCL maintainers. I think they inherited its use from ITA Software.
Why not make that your signature? Could you like, sign the current date with a private key, and write the result into the signature box?
Not the OP, and this isn't something I'm dramatically invested in, but...

Rent seeking would be designing a product for collecting rent (not a one time payment) for a product (e.g. SaS) that doesn't wear out or has separate maintenance costs. Like a house that is rented the value comes from the income stream and it likely is adjusted by something like inflation.

Not renting would be selling a product for a one time fee, perhaps even if there are many customers (you still get to play ticket pricing games like the airlines so different people pay different amounts at different times, but not as variable as rent). Making the product non-transferable blurs the rent line a bit. Also not rental is the maintenance or improvement on the product (or the house) since that is new work that is being done.

It used to be that only physical objects were rented and services were inherently work and required new effort/ingenuity to be solved each time. However, with the introduction of art reproduction (visual, audio, physical) and copyright/patent, as well as, non-perpetual licensing of software this is no longer the case. It's possible to hold a piece of intellectual property and collect perpetual rent with little or no future investment.

It does create a different incentive structure that can be quite customer hostile.
Let's not forget that they also called the Palestinians animals. Sounds awfully similar to another genocidal regime that ruled over Germany before WWII.

I've been playing around with a few ESP32 projects recently and my biggest complaint is that it's hard to get off the ground with even the most basic peripherals. Like, an SD card reader - you need to get your own SPI reader and solder it in yourself.

Maybe I'm just spoiled but it feels like I shouldn't have to go design something on PCBWay.com to get an esp with any memory above the 4MB flash.

Still, really powerful cool devices for their form factor and power needs.
Hey unrelated but check out Star Trek Deep Space Nine. I think you'll enjoy it. It's sort of a criticism of the utopianism in previous Star Treks. It's gritty and the characters have to make hard choices, where "everybody wins because it's a utopia" isn't an option. Some characters are literal terrorists and the show does a pretty good job of letting that be morally gray. It asks the question, "what happens when a utopian society must go to war? Is the benevolence a facade masking a core which is authoritarian or fascistic?"

If you only watch one episode, make it "The Siege of AR-558." You once told me in Memphis Belle you could see the "fear in their faces, the bravery, the hurt, the relief." Actors of course can't do what documentary subjects can, but that is what this episode aims for.

Also check of Andromeda. It's similarly critical, it's like Star Trek if it was a dystopia where the federation had collapsed because their utopianism had made them vulnerable to betrayal by their closest allies (who are literal nihilists). My understanding is Roddenberry came up with the idea but passed away before it could be realized. It asks the question, "okay, we have this techno-utopian concept, but how does that grapple with the existence of evil in the world?"

Don't sleep on TNG either. Did you watch until the Borg were introduced? The Borg are a foil for the Federation I think you'd enjoy, a dystopia of enforced uniformity, a grotesque socialism. Each receives according to their need and gives according to their ability, but through means sickening and unconscionable. Skipping around to just the Borg episodes might be interesting.

That reminds me of Animal Farm, a novel I bet we've both enjoyed. I'm due for a reread.

I'm sorry if I said anything hurtful or frustrating. I hope next time we see each other around HN there won't be hard feelings. I consider your commentary on the intersection of aviation and software development to be must-read, and I have a lot of respect for you.

I don't support tech titans or copyright monopolists and mostly just think stuff should enter the public domain earlier as that is what both groups don't want to have happen. And in the case of software I think it ought to be illegal to not release source code into the public domain after a reasonable amount of time, say 25 years. In fact I think it's absolutely crazy we allow large companies to sell infrastructure with software in it and then basically light the source code on fire so that people are forced to buy new versions of their product rather than maintain the source for the old version themselves.
In Belgium you can digitally sign documents with your e-ID (mandatory ID card issued by the government) and it has the same value as "classic" hand signed documents. I use it myself for everything, whenever I get a PDF I just sign it with my e-ID and send it along its way.
I think your reply was intended to be facetious, but I take it to be not only true, but to highlight that what Anti-ChatGPT actually intends to do is not to filter out all bias (which would leave nothing, as you observe), but rather only to filter out political bias that "deserves to be filtered out". And as soon as we realise that, we realise that the notion of "deserves" depends almost completely on a person's own political opinions.

So the big question is: Whose political opinions will determine what Anti-ChatGPT calls "bias"?

The moment we even consider that this question is necessary to ask, we realise that the underlying political nature of Anti-ChatGPT can't be escaped.

Well, it takes very little knowledge to know this isn't a good design paradigm.
There's a dark joke that the Israelis trust what's coming out of Hamas more than the news coming out of the zionist media. We've seen the comical lies the latter did in order to justify their war crimes, from "40 beheaded babies" to rapes, to human shields, to fabricating a very convenient phone call that happen to tell exactly where the supposed rocket launch came from before the hospital massacre[1], to another fabricated phone call in which the speakers happen to admit that there is an "HQ" underneath the same hospital. It's quite a joke at this point.

They also do not admit that the zionist army kills its own people, as per the straight admission of one of the kibutz survivors. Look for the interview on youtube.

[1] several sources, and most recently the NYT have shown that the rocket that the zinoist media said it caused the blast in the hospital actually came from israel.

Pre-single-sideband suppressed carrier systems used an AM carrier, so there really were two audio tones. It's also possible to send FSK over FM, which was often done on VHF where there's more room.

Before everything went digital, this sort of thing tended to involve a chain of analog processing stages.
