Depends a lot on the type of code. Front end code? Almost any website has some js/css/html errors on it and most of the time its not that big a deal. Backend bank routing code? Pretty important to get right.

From what I've seen, many early career engineers are the ones using code assist tools. Many early career engineers are often placed on lower stakes front end focused teams as well. This is mostly anecdotal data from non-traditional cs background engs that I know.
Its not the same. Glasses perch on your nose. VR headsets have to have the edges pushed up against your skin to avoid light bleeding in from outside. Its great for thirty minutes or so but mainstream consumers are not ever going to use these headsets as the primary means of watching movies or bingeing on boxsets.
My mother's Nectar card was stolen by the cashier in Sainsbury's about 12 years ago.

The cashier was taking cards with a high points balance (she had the equivalent of over £100 on the card), and swapping them with a new, unregistered card.

We reported it to the store and they could see this happening on CCTV, so the cashier was fired. They gave my mother a Sainsbury's gift card for the monetary value stolen, plus a goodwill gesture.

Personally, my lesson learned from all of this is to spend loyalty points/rewards ASAP. While there are some "double up" offers every year that reward saving up, these are less common than they used to be. I think Sainsbury's ran a trial last year where only some people could use the "double up" promotion.
But there is a good historical reason for that. Facial features really are correlated with intelligence, and that correlates with status. It is not universal though, but a quite reliable predictor nonetheless.
I too like boring tech and try and avoid shiny stuff. I'd like to refine this idea though: is it that I like boring tech because it's old and battle-tested, or just because it's old and I'm familiar with it?

E.g. Bazel. Is it shiny new or is it boring old? It only made v1.0 four years ago, but it's based on Blaze, which has been developed internally at the Google mothership since 2006. To a Googler, Blaze probably seems boring - does Bazel, too?
You are correct. They were there for years. It was not a huge superstore then. While it was. It was very close to the corner you listed but it was actually on Oakmead itself.

I think this was more a reference to the current ski-mask like VR goggle rather than a lightweight think like Google Glass (or indeed, a regular prescription glass or sunglass). Having my fair share of VR hours under my feet, I would agree: it's tiring !
Vive is the worst option because they insist on using bad fresnel lenses instead of fish eye lenses. As you’ve pointed out, fresnel lenses tend to be terrible and HTC’s are the worst in that class.

Thanks for your comment. I'm the author of this post.

I have been thinking about sharing something about database internals for a long time, but none of my writing ideas was out of cliché then(e.g. introduce some algorithms, summarize some papers).

But I just realized that it maybe an interesting thing to talk about "how" and "why" instead of "what".

The rest posts are coming soon, hope you can see them on hacker news again.

Perhaps a better solution is to allow children on social media, but drastically limit how companies are allowed to interact with such accounts. Random ideas: no ads, no messages from people they don't follow, limit ability to follow other accounts in some way.
I had a gig for a while where we slip-seated the trucks and, yes, it did kind of suck. Mostly because nobody cared about the trucks and they got tore up pretty fast.

Check out the book empire of pain. It goes back the beginning of the Sackler rise and covers how we go to where we are today.

The problem I have with your statement about the legal system is IMO Purdue and the Sacklers corrupted the justice department, legal system, and various Federal agencies. This was not some overnight thing. This took decades of works by multiple generation of the family. The system we have today is in large part thanks to the Sacklers.

Ask HN: Accounting Software for Small Business
Greetings,

Can anyone recommend double-entry accounting software for a small business? Ideally features would include US payroll form filing, US state unemployment form filing, and the ability to share account info with a financial professional.

I’ve been using Wave for the last few years, but recent issues with the IRS revealed they’ve been incorrectly filing my paperwork with the wrong address. They have had both my physical and mailing addresses in their system since I opened the account. However, although the account settings show these addresses correctly, they are unable to enter them properly on IRS or state forms, or even in the quarterly filing reports they email me, with zip codes swapped. This is a huge red flag for me with respect to their data integrity in general. Weeks of back and forth with their support have gone nowhere, and they are unwilling to reach out to me via phone to discuss the issue (only allowing email contact). At this point, they feel it’s a non-issue that I continually receive address change notifications from the IRS and have decided they will do no further action to repair their systems.

Anyway, appreciate any recommendations!!
"Steamboat Silly" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThU7_06h0fQ is obviously different than "Steamboat Willy." You only need to watch a few seconds of both to see the difference.

They are clearly different cartoons, and the kind of usage that "silly" makes of source material from "willy" is what others are doing now that "willy" is in the public domain.

A note; typescript does nothing to ensure types are correct at runtime. Especially in the browser. You need to do runtime checking even if you're using typescript.

In Python, yeah, they're called Type _Hints_ for a reason. Don't count on them at runtime here either.

Both are dynamic languages, it's hard doing anything meta/schema driven with rigid types. If you really want a hard type system, just move to GO or Rust or C or something with a real type system enforced.

Hmm, no credit to Haruki Murakami, who wrote the memoir of the title you yanked “What I Talk About When I Talk About Running”?

Murakami credited Raymond Carver's collection of short stories called “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” for inspiring his title. Might be nice for you to include a small mention.
You also have to include the cost of all crimes which would (statistically) happen if the first crime was not enforced.

Take, for instance, knives. In some jurisdictions and places, IIUC, knives above a certain size are illegal to possess in a public place (unless properly packaged and in the process of being transported). The cost of someone simply possessing a knife is obviously zero, but enforcement is expensive. So why is it (putatively) enforced? Because people possessing knives can commit other crimes, such as attacks and robberies. That is, one crime is enforced not because breaking that law is itself a cost, but because it might lead to other crimes, which are costly.
Copilot is a lossy compression algorithm when applied at scale, I would expect some degradation in code quality if not applied appropriately. It's still a useful tool, but just like image and audio compression, a human needs to give the final output some last looks to ensure an acceptable out come.

Don't buy a VR headset just to experience Google Earth for twenty minutes.

It's disgracefully bad joke execution, but that's par for the course for dad humor. What's cringier to me is the attempt to extract more meaning from it than that. Nobody in the world construed this as an actual threat; even the people who didn't realize it was a quote from an extraordinarily famous hip-hop track (but clearly do now).

But, I mean, calling this "disgraceful" is narratively a lot more fun than just acknowledging that social media affords us all the opportunity to faceplant publicly with age-revealing pop culture humor. I'm sorry to be captain fun vampire, but the narratively-most-interesting interpretation of a story is very rarely the truest.

The difficult part is actually the last mile/few miles in trucking. Open highway driving is a significantly less complicated problem than navigating down side streets then backing into a warehouse to complete a delivery.

Freight tech companies have been talking about automating every BUT the last mile/last few miles for years. Have a stable of drivers who you have on hand to take over the last hour of a delivery. Automate everything else.
In most contexts, a shortage is when there is a gap in supply due to external factors. This results in resource allocation not responsively adapting to price signals.

A commonly used example is milk, yogurt, cream and ice cream. Every year, the farmers produce milk. Some people want yogurt, some want milk, some want cream, &c. Say that one year, everyone wants yogurt for some reason. They are lining up to pay 200%, &c, for it. Then the allocation of resources adapts -- more milk is used to make yogurt. If demand for other products does not go down -- people still want just as much milk, ice cream, &c -- then their prices may go up. Over a reasonable time frame, the effect of this is that more land will be turned over to pasturage and more milk will be produced. Gradually the prices will come down. More people have more yogurt than before; more people are working on that and less on something else (whatever it was). The workers and consumers live happily ever after and resource allocation has adapted to price signals.

One important consideration in the above example is that if people want more yogurt and are willing to pay more, they must also be willing to go without something else. They only have so much money (so much of their own resources to allocate). That is why the resource allocation has to change. Now that might not be milk, per se, but it is probably something adjacent to it, like tofu. We can see how if the shift is from tofu to yogurt, the reallocation of resources might take longer -- people can't just take the milk consumers don't want and turn it into yogurt, they have to get more milk first, which means feeding more soybeans to cows and less to tofu machines -- but it still happens.

A simple example of a shortage is a situation where a virus affects a certain fruit tree, preventing it from growing (or, at least, preventing it from growing the desired fruit). Although people are willing to pay a lot for this fruit, and by extension are willing to consume less of other fruits or other foods, there is no way to turn resources over from the production of other goods to the production of this fruit. It might be that only a small number of areas are isolated enough to produce this fruit; they might all be turned over to it; but after that, there would be no elasticity in the supply of this fruit. Given what we know about the pricing, demand, ordinary cost of inputs for producing the fruit, the supply of this fruit before the virus, we must conclude that there is considerable demand which is not being met.

(Something else notable about the second example is that most of the new, elevated price of the fruit would go into some form of rent. The ground on which the fruit could be produced would be exceedingly rare and valuable, but the material inputs, labor, skill, &c needed for the fruit are the same as before; the new high price would mostly go to the ground rent or financing costs.)
I think if you wanted to reduce teen suicide a significant amount, banning social media isn't going to do it. It certainly isn't responsible for half. Of course banning it doesn't cost the government any money, so it's top of the list as opposed to any real solutions.

You also cherry picked your stats. If you open a larger window, the current teen suicide rate is not as abnormal as you are making it out to be.
