> Or is that just used because a traditional frame is optimal for weight rather than aerodynamics?

It's exactly this tradeoff.

Time trial bikes are generally optimized for aerodynamic efficiency since there generally isn't a lot of climbing they do.

Climbing bikes are generally optimized for weight - typically with more basic looking tubes.

And for many sections, riders pick a hybrid bicycle with some aero features, but also with an emphasis on light weight.

What is your point? Wage theft occurs regardless of migrant status.

Why are you asking me to be responsible for the tangential discussion, that I did not start, on migrant status? Or are you going to post this exact same question to everyone up the chain including people you already agree with?

I don't think so. They are very different roles.
Despite all the advances in technology and alleged productivity gains over the last century, people still somehow have to work 40 hour weeks. Stands to reason that using machine learning isn’t going to change the course of what is ultimately a deep rooted culture based on working these long hours on projects that aren’t your own.
Facetime has been doing this for a few years now too. It's called something not-quite-straightforward in the settings ("enhance attention" or something).
Programming languages are user interfaces. The syntax of a programming language is part of that user interface. Some choices are poor by virtually any measure (stropped keywords come to mind; as visually hideous as they are unpleasant to type), but most choices represent tradeoffs that favor certain usage patterns over others.

Lisp de-prioritizes legibility at a glance and concision in order to give maximum priority to simplicity in metaprogramming. I'm not convinced this is a good tradeoff; I would no sooner choose to drive to work in an amphibious tank that got 0.2 miles per gallon to be able to cut across a single river along the way.

Lispers say that I could use specialized tooling to compensate for poor ergonomics, but in many contexts- someone else's computer, a text box or static text on a website, a general-purpose textual diff or search tool, print in a book, a whiteboard- these affordances are not available, and I would still have to contend with the inconvenient reality of Lisp's very real design choices.

The destruction of the Roman Empire isn't something I lament, and yet if present nation-states survive as long as the Roman Empire they will have done exceptionally well. At the same time I don't buy the narrative. It's a bizarre thing to compare modern migration with fleeing armed groups seeking conquest to replace the places they were fleeing.

It's like comparing the average migrant or refugee with ISIS.

> Prior to the migrant crisis throughout Europe, many expected that the migrants would integrate, become part of the normal mass of people, and it'd ultimately be a win-win situation for everybody. That belief was not well supported by history, and ultimately proved to be false.

I've seen nothing to "prove it false", but there's also a very significant difference a rushed an chaotic acceptance of refugees vs. planned migration programs, and either takes time to shake out.

> And in the US today, cities that express an extremely positive attitude towards immigration tend to rapidly express a different view once faced with large numbers of immigrants.

And yet the US managed to successfully do it before. Several of my own ancestors families lived in Brooklyn at a time where it was so full of Scandinavian migrants that it had several Norwegian language newspapers, and my great grandmother lived there a decade without ever learning English because all her neighbours and shopkeepers etc. spoke Norwegian. I've spent a lot of time looking at US censuses because for the sake of genealogy, and the US censuses of that era are astounding for the way whole streets were nothing but immigrants.

Somehow the US is still there, as much as one might joke about the state it is in.

> The most likely outcome is what we're seeing happen in much of Europe - parties that oppose the immigration would rapidly come to power, and end up working to mitigate the damage, and end such a population strategy.

Then they will crater their economies, and soon enough get thrown out of office. People are quick to support anti-immigran rhetoric until it starts hitting their wallet when eg. employers struggle to hire. These anti-immigration parties fortunes tends to be tightly linked to unemployment levels.

Compare Italy to e.g. the UK, where despite the anti refugee rhetoric and historically high immigration, people fleeing the Tory party are not going to the anti-immigrant right-wing parties but to Labour - the UK, unlike Italy, has low unemployment and regular newspaper stories about employers struggling to find workers. Once Italy's population decline bites a bit more, this will change rapidly.

You are massively oversimplifying "classic SWE" here. Ultimately it makes no difference.

How you handle contract violations between dependencies and third parties is not an inherently different problem. What should you do if a data source changes schema? How do you detect it, alert, take action? How are users or customers or consumer jobs impacted? This is all just normal software.

In many ways it feels like you're making my case for me.

You're baffled people don't want kids? You couldn't pay me 3-10x to be 31 with 3 kids, lmao. And I'm almost 10 years older. I'm aging like fine wine with cool cars and vacations and obscene lofts downtown and you're going to be a turnip in 12 years with no savings because of college and child care fees.

I'm baffled people want kids, especially THREE. You have NO reason to have 3 kids.

And yeah, us child-free people absolutely know when you kid-poppers are constantly leaving work and can't be assed to take on priority projects because you've got to take Tommy and Madelyn to soccer and gymnastics at 3pm.
I believe it is a difficult to avoid byproduct of a competitive society (so basicly all). Contractors/suppliers compete with lower price that need to be balanced some way, employees compete with their willingness to work cheaper or more to have any kind of income at all sometimes. Some do it for greed only, employee and employer alike. I know someone, well paid construction engineer, who was willing to get into a shady situation so both his employee and himself can save on taxes, sharing financial gain of pretending non-employment relationship. This involved payment in bulk for months of work which at a financial downturn ended up in not getting paid - along multitude of exuses and promises - loosing almost 2 years of work worth of money for the engineer and the need to find someone else to work for in a desperate time risking the livelyhood of his family. Meanwhile his previous 'partner' in crime of course fluorished instead of sharing the loss too after the benefits. The engineer had no means to do anything being an accomplice for long, both dependent on the partner's payment but without any small means to put pressure on them. Exposed completely.

It is too easy to be smartass about someone else's life and situation but since individual employees are always more fragile than organizations the best to avoid extreme competition advantages like above and have reserves for situations when an organization stops paying - e.g. being on the brink of collapse - so one can have better position of pressuring by not working until payment arrives in parallel of looking for other possibilities in case the likely eventuality of loosing job comes.

Of course this is what is almost impossible to achive for most, especially for the most vulnerable: there will always someone to take the place of 'troublesome' employees, sometimes for less or offering more. As a product of desperation (in lack of reserves and possibilities but the need of buying food for the family). Shady figures exploit this. Unity against exploitation would help but we rather compete to raise above others.
I’m pretty sure a major reason for the current form of big tech interviews is to slow the rate of job-hopping, to suppress wage growth.

It definitely helps in larger applications where things are named similarly, especially if you're dealing with a massive DB schema. If you have some method to update some data where all the PRs are longs and it has the signature "update(long,long)", passing the wrong long value would be disastrous. Even if this type of error is 1:10k LOC, using wrapper classes pretty much eliminates this bug.

In our codebase, we use wrapper classes and the only time we had a defect with this is when one developer got lazy and used 3 primitive Strings in a class instead of wrapper classes. Another developer needed to update the code and populated the wrong wrapper class as they were not as familiar with that part of the codebase. Had the original developer simply used wrapper classes, the person maintaining the code wouldn't have had that confusion.

I went with zigbee simply because there seems to be a ton of devices available, and while many vendors try to build devices that don't adhere to default messages so you'd have to use their gateways that talk to the cloud, zigbee is simple enough to reverse engineer the communication and add support in all the open source ha solutions.

Very cool, and I love how amazing it looks with decently machined metal parts - 3D printing is cool and all, but I do get a little tired of the characteristic messy look of those projects so this is a very nice change! I really think more people should try modelling parts to have machined, now that cheap manufacturing has become more accessible in recent years.

You can tell the designer likely has some proper engineering experience not just by the nice designs of each part and how well the thing works, but also by the use of Torx screws!
$75k is about $56k after taxes. And many people that have children tend to have at least two children, so you can double that $18k to $36k/year for those people.

Once you get to that point, it gets harder to justify having someone work just to take home an extra $20k a year. It starts making more sense for one person to stay home (or work a part-time gig that lets them still raise their children) and the other person to try to make a bit more money on their end instead.

My parents got around the daycare cost problem by my mother running a daycare out of the home, so she was making money while still able to raise us. But I imagine that's become so much more risky nowadays (like legal issues, parental trust, etc) that it probably wouldn't be worth doing that anymore.

And as soon as we both graduated high school she stopped doing it and went back into the workforce elsewhere.

I think you underestimate the willingness of the average American to consume slop. It really doesn't take much for an LLM to produce something good enough that millions of people would lie on their couch and zombify to it (while consuming ads). If AI were as crappy as you say, it wouldn't have been mentioned in the terms to end the recent writer's strike in Hollywood.

Nothing matters except the outcome. Let's say, hypothetically, that we invent something much closer to so-called "AGI" – I can guarantee you that many pundits and HN users will find reasons to believe it's not real and that it's crap or whatever. Why should anyone care? Plenty of people thought the Web was crap in the beginning, and now look at where we are. I don't see any reason to believe AI won't have some impact on jobs and the economy for the next decade. If it was total crap, no one would be using it, but all I know is tons of developers are using Copilot, and I'm using GPT-4 every single day. Are we all just spinning tops or is it actually being of some use to us?

There's a pretty interesting (to me) aspect of the mic indicator/controller problem: without direct visual feedback, you can't tell what mode your mic is in until _other people_ respond, or don't. It's a very laggy tool in terms of feedback even when it's "on". In fact, you often need to test it two or three times to be sure, because your fellow meeting members might have frozen, might just be thinking before they respond, etc

It's quite different from, say, dark mode, which is pretty obvious when toggled on/off.

So the feature benefits a lot from a visual indicator of current state regardless what you choose to do for the button. It's unsurprising people try to smudge the "state" and "control" together, for the mic more than many other controls.

So the answer to "how did he do it?" is obvious -- it simply wasn't too complex of a task (by modern standards).
the point was that largely those two of the seven you mentioned are already long gone. the five remaining are probably fine.

those unfortunate two lost their jobs 10 years ago to existing automation and process improvements.

call centers, it could be noted, are already ahead of the curve in terms of cost pressures on a business: human wages in India and the Philippines will not grow faster than what an AI company will want to charge to validate their absurd ($100 billion? $3 trillion?) valuation.

yeah, it’s cynical sounding, but the truth is that exploiting humans will continue to be cheaper than paying for humanless tech for a lot of these supposed AI use cases.

AI also needs to compete with the previous decades’ main cost cutting measure of offshore business process outsourcing.
I'll start by saying this isn't really directed at you.

> Have you ever thanked your ancestors for eradicating Neanderthal, your mother for not sticking to her first dating prospects, or all those who died in wars so you can live in peace and comfort?

More people should make it a practice to be grateful for the things that allow us to be successful, they'd be more content.

I've never thanked Neanderthals but I do think about the choices and risks my ancestors took to ensure _they_ were successful.

Personally I try to semi-regularly reflect on how I got to where I am and the factors that went into that.

That includes thanking my mom and dad for their fuck ups as well as their good choices. It's been a humbling experience and long term day to day I'm happier and less isolated from the world.
I also spent a ton of time on BBSes, pre Internet. A few of these developed into early dialup ISPs. One thing I really miss is the "community" aspect. Local message boards, etc. That is all gone now. The closest thing you can find is maybe a subreddit or Discord, but it's not the same. The community and locality aspect is gone. You can't even meet a weirdo on Craigslist anymore.

For many people, the Internet of today is basically interactive TV.

Based on the article, she provides the services of a sort of on-call talk therapist/emotional support that overlaps with services typically provided by a personal assistant or maid of honor, like keeping the bridesmaids organized and on track. Honestly, I get it. If you don't have a willing volunteer, there's no shame in hiring a personal assistant for the job. Where she really excels is selling it as something fun and chic, not desperate; 'extra bridesmaid to fill out the group' is a lot more palatable than 'hired help'.
patents were intended to protect the little-guy, the inventor (meaning a person), with an artificial monopoly so he could make money.

they weren't intended to be used by huge companies to help further their already impressive monopolistic empires. they collect them and use them as a kind of insurance or mutual-assued-destruction policy. microsoft won't sue ibm (and so on) because both have such a vast portfolio of garbage patents that they know they could tie each other up in litigation for 100 years, and they don't feel like paying for it.

then you get to the trolls. our government is actually enabling and encouraging a semi-legal form of extortion. the big companies can pay or pay to fight. it's a tax on everyone in the business though, even when winning. only the attorneys really win here.

it's obvious that the time and place for patents has come and gone.

- they don't do what they are intended, do much more harm than good.

- other comments are 100% correct, "software" (algorithms) and other similar areas like the one in TFA should never have existed in the first place.

- the pursuit of patent portfolios has created a surge of really bad patents. it's really been the entire life of the internet and modern computing. "one-click-patent", etc. and far worse. so why actually encourage more and lower quality patents?

- it does no good for an inventor to go get a patent, because even if the spiffy device is successful at market, the chinese will steal it with or without the little patent number engraving on the bottom. hell, they'll copy that too. if you find out who they are and sue them, they'll pop up as another company. if that's who you are competing against, why waste time and energy on anachronistic non-functioning armor.

- better option for an advantage from a unique software algorithm is to: be to market first and, if desired, keep it a trade secret.

- i think it'd be relatively easy to fix. first, allow the patent-holder to pick or easily challenge the venue (to kill east-texas) and second, allow awarding of attorney costs for the defendant, and force the plaintif to post a bond to prove they can pay them.

- but why bother? just abandon the whole system. it literally helps nobody.
The best way, IMHO, is to have coding standards, a check list on what is to be checked in code review, including set of tests that must pass, and a clear rule that a commit must have a single purpose (e.g. if an unrelated bug is found in a code review, great, raise a bug report to be addressed in another, dedicated commit).

Then, personally I am all for ignoring suggestions based on personal preferences. Often there are several ways to achieve the same thing. As long as the way something is implemented works, ticks all the boxes, and does not create a provable issue right now, then it's fine and there should not even be a suggestion to do differently in a code review.

The general idea is to get rid of as much comments and suggestions based on personal preferences and to focus on fact-based comments, which tend not to generate arguments.
