When I worked in Java (11+ years ago) the style dogma was to never use checked exceptions.
This is a large part of why they're pushing so hard on Starship. Falcon 9 is great and wildly economical, but it's not enough to make Starlink profitable in the long term. They need Starship to make that happen.

They also want to make Starlink satellites bigger, which also requires Starship's much larger diameter.
i see you have been posting the same roles every month, but i never got any response. is reapplying discouraged?
Part of this is that Costco, unlike most retail outlets, treats their employees well and tries really hard to keep them around. For example, notice that the Costco nametags always have an "Employee since" on them, and in most of the stores I've been in you will even see some with the 1990's on their tags, and lots of people with 10+ years at Costco. They aren't doing the standard retail employee churn- typical retail stores have 100% turnover per year.

So Costco is willing to accept a slower-ramp up period in exchange for longer term speed and efficiency, whereas companies which churn their employees care far more about initial discoverability and getting someone to be moderately capable very quickly.

My wife, a decade ago, worked at the transition of her pharmacy from when it was a local retail chain and then was purchased by one of the national chains. The local retail chain, which was a reasonably pleasant place to work for its employees, had a computer system that was an ancient DOS app like Costco uses, and when my wife would get a call from another employee on how to do something unusual in the system it was lots of "now hit tab three times, then Alt-F10 and select the glorbaldall from the drop-down and then two more tabs and then ctrl-shift-S and enter the frazzlematazz" and the new company was hellish towards their employees and had a slick new web interface with lots of menu options so you could eventually find what you needed without the keyboards, but you could never get to be as fast as my wife was on the older system.
That's a lot of countries which restrict migration from people with disabilities due to increased pressure on the welfare state. Reminds me of a famous case where a German family moved to Austria with their disabled child and the Austrian authorities were allowed to not register the child.

Unless you qualify for asylum, then all bets are off and these rules are waived.

I'm not sure how you got the impression that the article claimed "Best economy since the 90s". The claim, made right after the remark about what real wages amount to is "The current environment looks more like the 1990s economy than the 1970s.". Looking at the inflation-adjusted wage chart, I'm inclined to agree. The pandemic screwed up the YoY numbers, but the past couple of quarters do look similar to the 90s.
Probably have to go with "prevent", since avoiding is kinda out of question these days. As they say, that time has passed with cameras everywhere, including mounted on street poles and store fronts.

IR LED laden accessories will probably be your best bet.
In this case the PC is the proxy, which sometimes does not have a public IP address (behind ISP NAT).
There was also Sim, in Enterprise, a clone of Trip who was then harvested for spare parts.

The idea that issues have exactly two sides, and that all words that come out of anyone’s mouth should be treated exactly equally whether or not they make sense or have any backing evidence, is a bad thing. Journalism has to have a fact-checking, filtering, and prioritizing function, or else it’s just Twitter.

Not that anyone’s doing a good job of that right now, but it seems like that’s what the author is advocatig for.

From a business perspective the fatal flaw is that the customers don’t really want to read something close to the “truth”, they just want to hear their own preconceptions, or the deliberately uninformed statements of their favorite politician celebrities, repeated back.

How can you tell? Those are from a week and a half ago. The OP's definition of 'removed' is (if I understand correctly) 'dropped from the top-30 to below the top-90 in 1 minute'.

I am trying to build a sustainable side business that allows me to scratch the itches I need to while getting the bills paid during 9-5.

The only advice I have is if you take this route, you need to be able to put your project aside and prioritize the "keep the lights on" income at times. If you can be at peace with setbacks that are out of control, it will set you up for success in other parts of business starting too.

I'm just going to keep cranking till I get there. Very close. It's a long game but when it comes together I will not be paying anybody else or splitting revenue with any other party. It's worth this in the end.

Having a sustainable day job is also KEY for this, it took me roughly 5yrs through burnout to get here since my last real significant job.

Expectations are the root of all evil. Make the best you can with the situation you are in today. Set yourself up for success tomorrow.
I see this the opposite way. In a proportional system, I can usually vote for someone from my community, and they have a reasonable chance of getting elected. In a system with single-representative districts, this is often not possible. I would have to choose between candidates with no chance of getting elected and candidates outside my community.

For many people, the most important communities are not based on geography. And even if your geographical community is important to you but you live in a city that elects multiple representatives, single-representative districts may prevent you from voting for your local candidates.

Also, proportional systems are often not fully proportional. You can guarantee some geographic representation by combining local administrative units into districts that elect a reasonable number of representatives each.
I don't follow. Are you saying we should hold off laws that deem e.g. teflon toxic, until there's teflon everywhere?

The government: There's almost no teflon in the ground, so that's good.

The market: Hold my beer.

Households with multiple Nintendo Switch and I think the PS5 consoles (I may be mixing this up with Xbox) would significantly benefit.

Some games assume there’s only one console per public IP, and expects ports NAT forwarded as such.

Giving each end-user an IPv6 prefix completely solves that mess.

Its not just the rich and powerful, its the knowledgeable experts and powerbrokers that facilitate and actually build out the power structure that enables the rich to take advantage of these opportunities.
As long as one of the most lucrative and prestigious routes to success for exceptionally talented people lie in the power structures that require the compromise of society, the rich will have abundant opportunity to harvest the wealth that lies in damaging the world we live in and make money on the "solutions".
Steam is different because there is a great sense of ownership on one's steam game library - to the point that one has family control PINs and passwords, and can share or hide or private games, wishlists and gifts to and fro.

Walled gardens (paywalls) around 1-time consumed content is bs, mostly.

"Information wants to be free - but we plan to monitize freedom through paywalls" is the content business model of Ye Olde Gaard Media... where the paper you were reading todays* news on had significant cost to deliver that story to your eyeballs - such as a medium empire to own the substrate for the narrative presented to you (Hurst's lumber paper empire and the demise of hemp as a paper product)

And the insane amount of control that supply chain enabled - thus the entitled archetype seen in the DNA of all media companies.

so - walled gardens, are an old model. Especially for sites that are digital pheonix of their prior paper media empire...

This is why I think that any linking to New York Time on HN should be banned - so annoying, HN isnt US-centric, exclusively and it shouldnt have so many expectations that its users want to pay NYT for anything.

(paywalls promote title-clickbate-commenting, because you want to engage in the topic without paying for the full context of the article clickbaiting you...
The wiki article is incoherent or at least not easy to sustain motivation enough to finish reading. I think the California ideology they seem to be hinting at can be better thought of as “luxury beliefs” the sort of which Ron Henderson writes a lot about. California is resource rich, historically. Historically this leads to growth and what I would call “messy progress.” It’s definitely gotten messier as growth surged in recent decades due largely to selfish policies that result from its very open (for better and surely for worse) political system.

Tailscale connections are primarily peer to peer. The service Tailscale is providing is orchestrating the connectivity and hiding the complexity, but the data flows directly.

I don't understand why this story was removed: "It turns out the six-feet social-distancing rule had no scientific basis", https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39200511

On a forum with an overwhelmingly science-minded audience, it bothers me that an important topic like that is deemed untouchable.
Length is far too short, I can stay for 3 months without filling out anything, an additional 3 for the effort of applying kinda sucks (having applied for a Japan tourist visa for my wife, expect this visa to be just as onerous)

If they allow dependents (like the Korean one does) and allowed for 1 year with the option of extending up to 2, we'd be packing right now.

Looks a lot like CICS, which I spent a fair fraction of the nineties and aughts with. I helped the integrator team trying to get all the functionality into <REDACTED NAME OF GIGANTIC ZILLION DOLLAR ERP>, but the truths of the article held; zillion dollar ERP couldn't support the process. Obviously, the solution was more consultants, but the final judgement was always that we were doing business wrong. I left the company before this resolved, but as it turned out, those who remained did not have long. The company was effectively eliminated in a reorg before the new ERP could be used . . nine years after the project started. If it had been implemented, the entire factory floor and maintenance depot would have had to revert to paper . . incurring an unthinkable cost in scanning those records back into Zillion Dollar ERP.

It's far, far, far from just ERP either. In publications standards, we see this all the time, and as a proportion of cost/value[1], it's even worse than the ERP disasters.

[1] Of course, that might be because no one really has a way to quantify how much documentation is actually worth.

I wonder how easy it would be to construct something like this today.

Someone I worked with wanted to build a lookout tower on his house, imitating something he saw on another (very old) house elsewhere, and got into all sorts of disputes with the municipality regarding how to interpret zoning laws.
Smartphones are the easy ones. It's the surveillance cameras on store fronts, speed cameras/license plate scanners on the poles, and dash cameras you are probably caught the most on.

And that's not counting other wearable cameras, such as the Meta RayBans mentioned elsewhere in this conversation.
FWIW this is a more of social issue rather than a legal one. At least in America, taking photos / videos of things which are plainly visible in public spaces is legal (different for private property). Caveat wiretapping laws and anything else relevant.

So for many common situations, the most you could do is make a polite request stating your preferences, without any expectation that it'd be enforced, unless Apple just feels like it as a policy decision.

Portugal has this very issue. A previous HN thread from a few weeks ago went into more detail about it.

The tl;dr is if you drop 5000 people earning 2x the average salary into a neighborhood, the prices of everything goes way up. Rent, food, entertainment, locals get priced out very quickly.

This matches what I've seen from Israelis, but the issue is that the rest of the world does think this is the best way forward. Support in the west is very generational and supporting Zionism will be politically lethal within 20 years. I don't see how Israel could keep an ethno-state intact without support from western allies. There's great pressure on Israel now to stop the war without having achieved any strategic victories. Repeated Oct 7th like events seem inevitable until Israelis face the reality of the situation and secularize.

Also for the record, I fully support reparations to indigenous and Black Americans, so yes, my view is consistent.

What do you mean by modernize? Is being funded by ads modernizing in your eyes because that is how Morning Brew makes their money. If that's how you look at it then you'll be happy to know that many publications are very modern and write sponsored content filled with modern ads.
I feel like my experience with big cos is that the "that's another team" might go like this:

Parental controls is essentially maintenance mode and has 1 dev nominally responsible for it, maybe their workload is divided between that and a bunch of other stuff that they deem their "real" work. The way the component works means that bugs typically get assigned elsewhere in the system very far away from parental controls; you, the owner of Contacts, land a bug like "Your feature XXX has the following failure in parental controls mode." The team responsible is like ... "Why do I care about this? Why should I take a code change for this? Isn't that your problem?" Whoever is responsible for parental controls might not care, but if they do, they don't have political leverage over the owner of the Contacts app or whatever. Therefore, won't fix.
Uh... no? Not at all.
Thank you for taking the effort, and for the wishes. Hopefully she find something soon.

Why are we treating a known working and humanitarian strategy as some evil "growth" thing? I feel like we're dragging that term out of the hyper-capitalistic sense it's meant to evoke.

People ought to be able to move where they're most happy / productive. One consequence of that may be that a place turns "into cosmopolitan London". But that's hardly a horror.
That paper that you're citing is from 2022; hardly what I'd call historic. And is 2 in real dollars? Because it doesn't look like it and I wonder if it would be just a flat line if it was.

I'll say that I've worked along side my cousin's baby-daddy (I think in future I'll just call him "T" as that's less unwieldy), and he's a fine painter, but ultimately there just isn't that much to the job. I remember the first time I used a paint sprayer on a new construction job myself; basically you just need to learn where the trigger is and in a minute you can paint a wall that would take an hour with a roller.
A generative film is perfect for an artist known for his generative music! I immediately thought back to 77 Million Paintings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/77_Million_Paintings

I know Eno's spoken about the original Frippertronics albums before (Discreet Music, Evening Star, No Pussyfooting, et al) and how he wished those tracks could've been unique every time you listened to them, but the technology just wasn't quite there in 1973. But we eventually got 77 Million Paintings and (of all things) the Spore soundtrack.

He also released a DIY generative music app called Bloom a while back, but I've never had a chance to fiddle with it since it's iOS-only: https://generativemusic.com/bloom.html
About 20 years ago I worked for a bank that processed checks (checks would come in from businesses and they would be sorted and reconciled here). The check processing machine was a 26-bay IBM check sorter/document reader (the IBM 2956). This machine then was nearly 30 years old, was new to the company yet cost $250k, and needed weekly maintenance from an IBM tech. They retired that machine finally 6 years ago.
Believe it or not, it's possible to be both interested in LLMs and also feel that there is too much LLM content on a given aggregator.

No! Please come in and give me a hug (or a grunt if you're a teen). I can take 5 for that.
> The assumption is that a Story cannot go from the top 30 to a position higher than 90 in a single minute, without having been explicitly removed.

I'm not sure this is a valid assumption. https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=39094387 looks to be a story that dropped to the thirties pretty quickly. Maybe due to other suddenly popular content?

Looking at the 13 stories listed for Monday, January 22, 2024 only 3 seem to have been removed from HN. The other 10 stories still exist.

The HP story, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39087776, was likely kicked from the front page due to being a duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39060793

The Ford story, https://news.social-protocols.org/stats?id=39089599, seems to be incorrectly detected.

Honestly only 3 or 4 out of 13 look like possible moderation to me. And they don't seem bad. Does a story about razor wire in Texas belong on hacker news? I'm in Texas so the story is of interest to me but I'd expect to hear about it elsewhere, not on HN.

Overall it just makes me think HN is doing a good job at moderation.

True, but I'd imagine tourists hang out for a few weeks at most, not six months.
No such reason. I'm willing to try out AsciiDoc.

I mean I did not try AsciiDoc until now because there are so many choices of input formats and the ones I've tried so far have been disappointing one way or the other.

I talked about Org-mode rendering broken in edge cases. Same with Latex too. I see Pandoc has first-class support for its own Pandoc Markdown format. But the support for all other input formats seem patchy.

If you think Pandoc has good support for AsciiDoc without any edge case issues, I'll be most certainly trying it out.

That looks at the income of all households. Boomers are retiring in droves, which drags the median down, and makes the number unrepresentative.
imo the 'static' ip issue with ipv6 has not been solved by providers. cable internet cabals are content to use dhcpv6 to dole prefixes out, but these are the same providers whos DNS servers typically post four-digit latency figures for DNS queries so the idea they they are to be the ones to solve DHCPv4's scalability issues remains laughable. just try getting a statically assigned prefix from their "business" or "corporate" offerings. wont happen.

SLAAC is the best hope so far, but regular hosted customers do not understand that slaac is calculated by mac, so theyll need education to ensure immutable architectures dont crash and burn on lift-and-shift redeployments. either that, or enjoy hardcoding ip's in your prefix to the boxes.

then theres networking. most corporate network engineering that would handle ingress or peer traffic to clouds (especially azure tenants) treat ipv6 as a cursory knowledge...something theyre aware of in theory but have never taken it upon themselves to practice. i predict AWS will send a lot of them scrambling for mouldy ccna texts and taking down the hybrid cloud at least twice a month until the basics sink in.

and finally, firewall and security devices. There are a lot of vendors that have gotten a free pass to grandstand about how stellar their IPv6 support is, only to send customers to phone tree purgatory trying to find support for a device that either cant route between local, unique local, special purpose ranges, ::1, or even the special discard ranges for things like DDoS protection. frankly its not an AWS issue (yet) but the only guise ive seen handle this competently are...cloudflare.
