Not so. By definition, both in common usage and legally, the farmer is the owner. The farmer may also work in the operation, but that is not a strict requirement.

> I think we are now at a stage where VR hardware has surpassed software.

Totally agree. I'm waiting for a usable Virtual Desktop app to come out. All the ones I have tried which work on my cheap WMR headset fall short of having floating app windows in view.

I guess there is one of those which works on Meta Quest, but not PC headsets. That's really what you need to be effective working in VR. Just like is mentioned the Apple headset supports.

Doesn't that violate the "prevailing wage" requirement of the H1B visa?

These are real recalls btw, for a safety feature that kills you. (airbag frag grenades)

I know some people have been conditioned that software rollbacks are recalls due to all the anti-Tesla articles.
It's more of operating vs using, we had a CUT and there were situations where you want the control(diff lock, split brakes to turn in-place, etc).

I cannot understand why the Canada Goose is protected under federal law. There are so many in Stewart Park that I think about taking one down with a net or a bolo but (1) I could get in trouble and (2) I find commercial goose meat to be disgusting (when they talk about eating a goose in a Dickens novel I gag) and can't imagine a wild goose is palatable at all.

(I do have reports though that the eggs are great, I think commercial goose eggs make the best Pirogi, and that someone was able to take two eggs from a nest year after year and even though they hissed bitterly the same pair would come back again year after year.)

The first use in English is from 1854, nine years before Sombart's birth, with use (as "private capitalism") in teaching and disputing about economy in USA since 1863 by Carl Adolph Douai.

"Capitalism" in the modern sense is apparently attributed to Louis Blanc (1850) and Pierre-Joseph Proudhon (1861, explicitly calls out owners of capital being dissociated from actually working it). As a word with way less scientific rigour than some of the stricter mathematical sciences, the exact way of using it also has considerable variation due to differences in languages.

Marx used "capital" and "capitalist", which are older terms. "Capitalism" as a term evolved from the same use that Marx learnt from, with earliest uses of "capitalists" being associated with 1633.
I think people are overly attributing the end of low interest rates to the current job market in tech.

The truth is over last 10-20 years we've gone through a huge technological boom which has driven the job market in tech. In the mid 2000s almost no one knew how to code. Software engineering was more a hobby than a career choice back then. Yet, from 2005-2015 we had innovation after innovation which demanded people with coding skills.

This article mentions things like the launch of the iPhone and AWS, but there was so much more than just that. The switch from dial-up to broadband meant people were more frequently using the internet, and using it for more than just web browsing – now they were downloading music, watching videos and chatting to their friends. Then the launch of the iPhone and 3G shortly after meant suddenly the internet was now everywhere all the time, and this spawned businesses like Facebook and Uber who enabled companies like Twilio. And now that everyone was online eCommerce started to boom too which enable companies like Saleforce, Shopify and Stripe.

And I could go on here, but our lives are so different today and this shift fundamentally required a large number of software engineers during a time when software engineers were in very short supply.

While progress will continue, it seems unlikely we're going to see a repeat what we've seen over the last ~20 years. AI might change our lives significantly, but it's hard to see how AI would make software engineers more valuable given they fundamentally make knowledge and intelligence more accessible.

Additionally, today software engineering is a career kids actively pursue, and even if they don't pursue it most kids will still end up doing some basic coding at school.

Meanwhile things are getting easier to build all the time. When I was learning to code building anything was a technical challenge. For one, Youtube and Stack Overflow didn't exist. There was no cloud hosting, and no free tier hosting. Programming languages themselves sucked – if you think Java sucks today then try using it 15 years ago. But the biggest changes have been in SaaS where today literally anyone can start an eCommerce store or take payments online in minutes.

The things I do as a software engineer today are becoming increasingly niche and a lot of it is just plumbing services together which doesn't take much intellect. And even this can increasingly be done with AI tools.

I think tech as an industry is going to do great over the next decade, but they won't need as many software engineers.
People like to say this but my friend just sent me a recording of “drop dead home invasion” with the Quest 3 and my jaw was on the floor. He says it’s amazing too.

I’ve also heard about players spending a lot of time in counter strike games like pavlov.

At this point it seems like there’s a TON of things to do in VR (and I’m gonna be honest, there were a ton of experiences too on the Quest 1 when I had it).

I’m just waiting for more live shows and concerts that I can attend from the Quest personally.
My impression is young farmers without land start with Animals because you can do it. Animals can live on land that cannot be farmed for row crops, and need much less land to make some money. so you buy some land - a few acres - then raise animals on that while working a day job someplace to pay the bills. As land becomes available you buy it, but sticking with animals as that is what you know. after 20 years of this you have enough trust with the banks to buy some row crop field that goes on sale. Another 10 years and you finally are earning enough from the farm to live without the other job and 10 more years and you can retire - letting your kids inherit a nice income from the mostly paid off farm (or sell the farm and retire to a nice life)
You're talking about city owned and maintained on-street parking.

I think we can agree that the sane thing to do is charge for it and let the market set the price. If home owners or developers want to build their own on-site parking, they're welcome to. Personally, I'm sick of having four parking spots in my garage tacked to my rent despite being a one car household.

Or did I misunderstand, and you feel on-street free parking should be paid for by tax payers? I have to disagree. I pay for my own parking. And people like me generate more tax revenue for the city because it costs less to service density, so I'm also funding on-street parking. I don't think that's fair. We should not be subsidizing car dependency. If you want to drive, pay for it yourself.

I think you're misunderstanding GP.

This definitely refutes the theory that insects are trying to escape towards the light, because, as the article shows, insects don't head directly for the light, but instead move orthogonal to it.

But this doesn't mean they can't use moonlight to help with flying. The theory, as I understand it, is that they use a distant light source -- e.g. the daytime sky -- to maintain altitude. There's no reason they couldn't use the moon to do this too.

Again, they would not be flying towards the moon, they'd be keeping the brightest light to their dorsal side. Since the moon is distant, unlike a lamp, this would result in steady flight.

I'm not sure that it confirms whether they use the moon or not, but it seems like a possibility.
My own opinion is that software should be crafted and that means being as simple as possible, but electron and the npm ecosystem is against that stance.

> Native is better, yes, but native is also another form of vendor lock-in.

There will always be vendor locking as no one owns the entire hardware/software ecosystem. I'm perfectly fine using the native platform and you can always abstract away the UI dependency and the other frameworks it offer. The thing is that Apple does provide nice SDKs to create beautiful software and replicating the features in other ecosystem is often infeasible.

> ...allows developers to leverage knowledge of open web standards and a vast ecosystem of libraries, thus speeding up development by a good margin (which is good for users)

My current opinion is that the web is only suited for document based workflows with a little bit of interactivity here and there. And NPM made everything worse because nothing is ever done and everyone is trying to reinvent the wheel. It's like the goal is trying to make everything as complex as possible. It's only the development that is fast, everything else is a slug (maintenance, testing, tooling,...)

> This could be an argument thou for people with poor internet connections and old banged up computers.

I barely recommend hardware to people anymore, because if you want to run a browser and popular apps, the baseline is now an XPS, a MBA, or a Surface. And they still run poorly on these. And fast software is better in anyway. Yes, I want something beautiful to look at, but not at the expanse of waiting several seconds for it to launch, or having to buy a computer with at least 16GB of ram.

> Empirical evidence says it is possible to do accessible, fast, secure apps with Electron.

Going native would be an easier solution.

> No matter what is the domain, the market is saturated, chances of failure are enormous.

I don't think there is an argument against these, although there are a lot of companies that are successful with native products.
I can understand the need for a Jewish state. (Though wouldn't the same apply to other disenfranchised groups? Why not a Roma or a Native American state?)

What I don't understand is why that state had to be erected in a land where people were already living, against the explicit wishes of that population, and in the end pushed through with military force.

Or rather, I do understand: This was how the world powers of the late 19th century were thinking and operating. They thought they had the god-given right to redraw the world map as they saw fit, in Africa in the 19th, and in the middle east in the early 20th century. But this mindset is what everywhere else we renounce as colonialism today - except for some reason here.

I think present-day Israelis do have a valid claim to the land, because they were born there and spent their entire life in that land. Forcing them to move away would amount just as much to expulsion than demanding the same from Palestinians. (Not even speaking of things that would amount to not just expulsion but genocide)

What I don't understand is what would give them the exclusive claim to the land or the right to drive others off it.
Unclear if Apple will allow this in the store

Pretty sure I'm technically hourly but clearly not for any practical purposes. I'm not allowed to place additional hours, even if I worked them. My work has unlimited PTO fwiw.

Though I've also worked full time salaried jobs and also been always required to fill out a timesheet. Often being told that it doesn't matter and the manager just saying they fill out a standard block at the beginning of each week. This is really what I've done at every job.

But I do want to make clear that I've had salaried positions in the past and not been given such offers. I am also not aware of any person that I know (offline) who has a paid lunch period and this includes many people in many sectors mostly in the west coast. This even includes my now retired parents.

Speaking as a compiler writer:

Any invocation of undefined behavior should be considered an assertion failure as far as any model checker should be concerned. Compilers can--and will--treat undefined behavior as license to alter the semantics of your program without any constraint, and most instances of undefined behavior are clearly programmer error (there is no good reason to read uninitialized memory, for example).

Reading an uninitialized variable is not "subtle" undefined behavior. It's one of the most readily accessible examples not only of what undefined behavior can exist, but also the ways compilers will mutilate your code just because you did it. To be honest, if something as simple as the consequences of reading uninitialized memory are shaky understanding for someone trying to prove code correct, that will completely undermine any trust I have in the validity of your proofs.

The personal relationship is a tricky bit and definitely plays a huge role in tutoring. There are already AI apps out there that try to mimic a human like relationship (e.g. https://replika.com/) but it's unclear how/if this type of relationship also works for tutoring.
It is definitely true in my experience, and for those seeking 100% remote or with only 0-3 years of real experience (not school) it is even worse.

I have posted this comment before on HN, but ~8-9 months ago we posted a job for a lead engineer at my company - we got 3 applicants (this was for a fortune 50 company, and comp, while not FAANG, was very respectable with good benefits and decent bonus and stock options to boot).

~5-6 months after that we added another exact same position, and advertised it in the exact same places and got over 300 applicants - many ex-FAANG which we never used to get.

So based on my personal experience, there are a lot more people looking and applying for jobs and a lot less jobs to choose from - and like I said, if you are dead-set on being remote, it is even harder - my most recent employer (100k+ employees) will no longer allow hiring managers to interview people who state they are only looking for remote (they don't have to, plenty of people are willing to show up at the office because they have rent/mortgage and bills to pay).

Ignoring it.
It doesn't violate the spirit of the 4th, nor is it a loophole. The 4th is not a prohibition on the government collecting information, nor is it a data privacy law. The 4th is about preventing the government from abusing their power to compel. Volunteered information isn't compelled by definition, so it is fine. This was the case then and it is the case now.

> 1) Government initiated: seeks out and requests information from others and in this case, offering payment. 2) Information holder initiated: who is specifically offering information in exchange for compensation.

Like a wanted poster and a bounty for information? These existed when the BoR was written. They weren't prohibited by the writers because the writers didn't have an issue with it. The 4th isn't a "government can't know anything or can't ask anything" rule, it's a "government can't bust down your door for no reason" rule.

> I wouldn't have made such a comment if you mentioned explicitly third party doctrine (as casey did an hour before you) or cited some law which added clarity to the situation. But yes, everyone knows you can just freely go tell the police about a crime you witnessed. I'm not sure who does not understand this.

The example I gave was a practical illustration of how silly reality would be if third-party-doctrine wasn't a thing.

Right, I wish people would remember that. Sure, non-profit is usually a good tax status for charities and other public-benefit type organizations. But that doesn't mean all non-profits are charities.

Regardless, the Raspberry Pi for-profit arm has existed for over a decade now; the only news is that it wants to IPO.

Many companies also, as a matter of usually unspoken but occasionally explicit policy, are structured to force employees out regularly. Amazon and many retailers are guilty of this, as they attempt to limit tenure and the potential for union activity. This artificially depresses wages, even for new hires, and places a greater burden on the public that has to deal with higher unemployment rates and increased community economic precarity in (and all the social ills that brings).

Meta Quest also has full support for WebXR which lets you bypass all the app store BS. You can use this framework to make worlds visible on most XR headsets as well as desktop and mobile

https://aframe.io/

My understanding is that Apple is making excuses about being slow to support WebXR.

As much as the media has benn fixated about the failed Horizon Worlds (which is a very interesting story that I've never seen elaborated from a software dev's perspective) you might not know that the successful model for Quest is the same as publishing on other game consoles. The market for single-player games for MQ is really healthy but multiplayer games are really thin on the ground which makes the "metaverse" idea look pretty dodgy. I mean, there is the multiplayer VRChat but you're going to have to rub shoulders with weaboos and furries which keeps other obnoxious people away.
I see this as problematic. I'm of the belief people have brains and interests suited for different things - I for example cannot draw to save my life, or even imagine well. I failed hard in engineering school because I seemingly had little ability to do these tasks (sliderules and paper at the time).

Most of the -worst- colleagues I've had in the last decade were folks from other walks of life who took a short boot camp, chasing money. Not all, but most, seemed to have zero passion for it, and didn't "get it." This is not to say I blame them - not one bit, but average quality took a huge hit.

CS is starting to feel like MBAs of the late 90s early 00's - everyone chasing what they believe is easy money without thinking about it and absolutely flooding the field until it became a 'nice to have'.
