Most companies I know don't really run credit or even criminal checks for jobs that pay that high. It's often a thing for low-paid. IME and YMMV of course.

> he isn’t interested in endless imperial conquest

Putin said in early 2022 that he has no interest in invading Ukraine. Invasion happened weeks later.
Well, it works OK as long as the countries involved don’t get taken over by a demagogue, dictator, or whatever the Brexit movement was. In other words, rationality and cooperation go out the window. Which turns out to be a pretty common failure mode according to 21st century evidence.
HTTPS adoption is universal. I don't have to pick apart the different modes and qualities of adoption. Most major websites won't even let you not use it anymore. The comparison is risible.
I'm just pointing out the insanity / inanity of "pure" shell anything. There are lots of other gotchas hiding in shell that you wouldn't encounter in other languages.

As glue, shell's wonderful. Reading from /dev/tcp/ and such is a cute trick but ultimately a dead dead dead end.
If your country has a national health service, paid for by taxes, medical treatment isn't paid for when you need it and so wouldn't affect the rate of UBI.

You see, now you are inventing strawmen like "eternal commitment" and "the narrative of how NATO has always wanted to surround Russia". I don't think I can continue this conversation if you are not talking in good faith.

"By the time new members were accepted into NATO ... Russia had started its descent into a totalitarian dictatorship"

The decision to expand NATO was made in 1997 [0]

And by the way, here is a passage from wikipedia on that first round of NATO enlargement [1]:

"That year, Russian leaders like Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev indicated their country's opposition to NATO enlargement. While Russian President Boris Yeltsin did sign an agreement with NATO in May 1997 that included text referring to new membership, he clearly described NATO expansion as "unacceptable" and a threat to Russian security in his December 1997 National Security Blueprint."

And a bit from "What Eltsin heard" [2]:

"On December 1, Foreign Minister Kozyrev unexpectedly refused to sign up for the Partnership of Peace; and on December 5, Yeltsin lashed out about NATO at the Budapest summit of the CSCE, in front of a surprised Clinton: “Why are you sowing the seeds of mistrust? ... Europe is in danger of plunging into a cold peace …. History demonstrates that it is a dangerous illusion to suppose that the destinies of continents and of the world community in general can somehow be managed from one single capital.” "

You got it and I appreciate you asking kindly.

I will say though that hopefully you'll consider applying that policy equally to all. Because many VC-backed and large companies basically post press releases and they trend without issue.

I'm a single person open-source project. But it's your site, I'll respect your request and not post moving forward.
Even though that is troublesome I think the absolute biggest issue was the West “helping” liberalize the Russian economy. I.e. giving away huge amounts of the Russian states resources to corrupt oligarchs with great help from London banks. It really set the stage for Putin in a big way.
The more efficient it gets, the more practical it'll be and the more we'll use it. Jevons paradox tends to hold for this sort of thing.

I find disturbing that don't mentions kdiff3 with diff and merge tool. Specially when kdiff3 does the smae thing that diff3 and zdiff3 output formats...

I don't understand the popularity of meld. I always felt that meld it's pretty inferior to kdiff3. And I give a few try to it...
Well those scrum meetings (back before people capitalized scrum) were owned by self-organizing teams whose agile (which used to also be lower-case) methods were to fit those meetings and all other structure to their needs, adding or discarding freely.

Then came the consultants selling books and then training. And then the Scrum Masters with their certificates. And somehow the whole thing morphed from self-managing teams into externally micromanaged teams.

Hint: the engineers were not consultants nor were they Scrum Masters because they already had plenty of work to do.
No, I'm pretty comfortable with what this particular authority means to this argument.
Looking to the future - I guess eye tracking somewhat deprecates the mouse, in theory.

The mouse is a very clever abstraction, combining human hand/eye coordination with the brain's near-effortless spatial transformation of the mouse's horizontal plane to the screen's (usually) vertical(-ish) plane, along with matters of proportion and scale. But it's still an extra layer(s) of abstraction, and of limitation, e.g. the more time your hand is on the mouse, the more time your computing experience is limited to the abilities of the mouse.

Please do share how the canary `use` hook solves: remote data syncing, proper data sharing across the UI, real-time remote syncing, incremental updates, optimistic updates, realtime collaboration, offline only, etc

These are table stakes for good rich apps now. Now your answer is probably going to be to 'use other tools for this' and the lack of cohesion between those tools is what I'm saying is crappy glue. The atoms aren't good.
Wouldn't that be part of Apple's app reviews?
"savvy enough" for emacs these days for lsp is literally "M-x package-install lsp-mode"

Earlier today I started up emacs in a C++ project after working exclusively in Rust, and I didn't have an lsp server for C++ installed. I did M-x lsp-mode and it prompted me (paraphrased): No language server for C++ installed, do you want me to go get one for you? Options are: clangd. Sure, said I, and it just went and installed it and off I went.

Granted, you'll also need company-mode and stuff, yes. And to get an IDE like experience... treemacs, projectile, etc. etc.

Yes, it's an acquired taste. But it's not like it's obsolete. It's better and more active than it's ever been. And I've been using Emacs (mostly casually) since 1992.
Weird to see CC rewards as income. If you're taking cash-back or applying to balance, I'd move to a points-based rewards card ASAP now that you're making money and don't need it to live off of.

Our business has a significant amount of cc spend because of ad networks that don't charge processing fees, and high CC limits acting as nearly free lines-of-credit. This generates something like ~$100k annually in points value for us.

We got some opinions from a few tax attorneys and CPAs a while back on how to handle this, and the consensus was clear that as long as points stay in the programs and are redeemed for flights/hotels/etc, they won't need to be recorded as rebate to expenses or as income.

Applying the rewards against your balance should be recorded as rebate against expenses rather than income. Also, worth noting that some cash back programs have started issuing 1099s, depending if it's a "Bonus" or percent of spend.

It's a very niice.
When you have a platform, apps aren't always being rebuilt for it.

There is no "build" because the source code was lost when all of the company's assets were sold off in 2002.

There is no "build" because the developer made a game, put it on your app store, moved on to the next game and has no interest in supporting this game that isn't providing any significant new revenue.

There is no "build" because this is FooManager 6.0, the company that makes FooManger wants everyone to buy FooManager 7.0 and isn't making any further changes to 6.0.

etc. etc. etc.
Only the same benefit as for any software.
Agreed I have this in my gitconfig. The changing of this setting caused more damage than "master" ever did
> countries only join the EU after they're already politically aligned with the current membership.

The EU (in its early forms) was formed by the countries that just fought each other in WWI and WWII, and for centuries before that. The EU was specifically intended to prevent another war.
This sounds like `state = reduce(state, event)` and `view = fn(state)` where the view has UI handlers that dispatch events rather than mutating anything.

Elm is probably the simplest example of this paradigm top-to-bottom, but you can wire up something pretty simple in vanilla React with just useReducer and useContext.

For those not familiar with PICO-8:

> PICO-8 is a virtual machine and game engine created by Lexaloffle Games. It is a fantasy video game console[1] that mimics the limited graphical and sound capabilities of 8-bit systems of the 1980s to encourage creativity and ingenuity in producing games without being overwhelmed with the many possibilities of modern tools and machines."[1]

There are plenty of apps already in the store. Apple wants to launch their new device and have tons of apps available. The best way to do that is for the apps to just run, not to require millions of developers (plenty of which no longer exist) to rebuild.
Was that ever their goal? They're more than happy to sell games from other developers on the Unreal store. I'm sure being a sort of one-stop shop for games on Mac/iOS is their ultimate goal.

Nobody has given any reason why this is a bad thing for Epic or why Epic would even make a store that only their stuff is sold on. That makes zero sense considering their PC strategy. They'll still get a cut selling third-party apps that aren't made by them.
In 2024, so we still have websites that are served differently depending on the User Agent?

The article is the other way around -- it's written from the perspective of a platform developer trying to deal with apps that didn't anticipate the situation.
Okay, well that's interesting, it at least disproves the assumption that isitdownrightnow is definitive.. maybe they're subject to the same issues somehow, like if they're in the same geo.

I saw someone mention in another HN post something about DNS being a factor, that some nameservers could be blocking it. My understanding is that my VPN also reroutes the DNS though, so I figured I'd be okay once VPN is on. Unless the VPN also uses the same nameservers that block archive.ph..

Was management in place so when the founders exited the company would still grow? With lower valuations (1-3x), the purchaser is often buying a job in some way (either for themselves or needing to find an operator). At 7-10x multiple, the company is already has senior management in place so the new owners would expect continued growth without their own intervention.

If you were on the Windows team and I was your manager, I might fire you for that.

This is Windows. You do not break applications that users depend on. Ever, ever, ever. If you have a "shitty" or misbehaving client application, you use whatever workarounds, shims, and compatibility hacks it takes to make the application work as expected. Even if it means having special memory management code for SimCity so it will work.
I can understand wanting to restrict use of something a person created using a restrictive licence. I can’t understand being sad about someone else not restricting what they created. To me it looks like someone being sad after seeing someone else giving out free ice cream, even though the person being sad didn’t contribute to making the ice cream.

When it started, Mastodon had an existing userbase to communicate with on OStatus, in the existing GNU Social communities, so it could skip the "Who wants to talk to a ghost town?" era of a social media's growth.

Though this prompts us to wonder why GNU Social took off (modestly) but Diaspora didn't.

I’m definitely a huge fan of mtlynch and was very inspired by his transparency especially around year 2 when he was pretty far in without much working.

I’d also recommend Jon Yongfook who bootstrapped an image generation api for social media marketing to 50k as well. Tony Dinh is also a must read. I actually have a notion database with a bunch of other bootstrapped bloggers but on the go at the moment.

For communities, Indie Hackers is the best known one, though there’s many others, Microconf, smallbets , etc
I don’t think there is proof for that at all. It’s more likely due to the countries all being democracies
To me this sounds like TBM to would still be better.

You’re pissing off one set of residents immensely rather than every resident in the area sequentially. The marginal harm you do to yourself by pissing off residents is diminishing. Better to piss off fewer voters.
If the source material was mentioned for every generated image then I think it would be more like what you say. No percentages needed since that's not something we used to get from liner notes either.

Putin will be done if he tries to abandon people of Crimea.

"According to Tamila Tasheva, Zelensky’s representative in Crimea, if it were liberated tomorrow, at least 200,000 residents of Crimea would face collaboration charges, and another 500,000 to 800,000 residents would face deportation. Refat Chubarov, the chairman of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatars, says that more than 1 million people—more than half the current population—will have to leave “immediately.” "

The US imports more goods from Mexico than China, but we do import a lot of stuff from China. It is clear from both sides that is problematic. They've been exporting less AND we have been moving supply chains to import less from them.

It is quite problematic as it appears the US and China are slow crawling to a direct confrontation.
Subtitle - "The Antarctic Treaty of 1959 prohibited nations from making new land claims on the continent. But it never mentioned claims from private individuals."

Soo... When was the last time that some intrepid Mr. Indy Vidual successfully maintained a sovereign claim to real-world territory, in a case where real nations had any real interest in the situation? (And Mr. Vidual wasn't just a paper-thin sock puppet for one or more of them.)
Some good advice I received about 25 years ago, "always look after your long-term interests".

There are a lot of topics mixed together, basically today's problems (which sound like they can be solved by having a single maintainer who can commit topic branches prepared by others when they pass review) and what to change to. It's good to change jobs in this business.

Coming from China, value of the choices seems highest for Osaka, but you don't mention the kind of work or employer so who knows. You can also expect some hopefully minor difficulties if you're Chinese and espectially if you don't have any Japanese. But if it looks the best in your resume, it may be worth the effort.
Thank you! Came here to say, but found, that you've already written it.

Effect size is going to be important when talking about clinical significance, not just statistic significance, too.

I also want to point out that we have no stats on sensitivity, specificity, or diagnostic odds ratio, which are all clinically relevant to physicians deciding when to test and how to interpret test results.

The good news is that it's a non-invasive, low cost test which plays a factor in clinical decision-making.

The entire problem with "Make <blank> Great Again" and business monkey dick-waving in general is that it carries an inherent assertion of success, while doing very little work to actually make that success happen. So it doesn't really make sense to brush aside the implausibility and analyze it in the a posteri context of "if it succeeds", any more than indulging the fantasy of a child saying "I want a pony". And sure sometimes such gambles can actually end up working. But that's more for debt/confidence based businesses where keeping investors on the hook can win significantly more resources. At the level of national leadership, such delusions are just ignorant.
It's an option, but it has its own downsides. It's a cross-platform API.

Someone wants to show some guests some of their photos and videos on their TV through their Xbox. Unfortunately they can't because their app (eg Samsung Gallery or iCloud or whatever) included a print button somewhere.

And with these inert functions, if Microsoft one day adds printing support to the Xbox, it'll just work in the photo app without any update.
Is it really so difficult to learn loops and objects? It’s always been syntax and not knowing how to use library that tripped me up.
Ah yes, I hit that too. Selecting "Continue" (which didn't make sense since this was my first load) just exited the menu. Didn't take me long to try "Restart" but it is a little confusing.
Fascists weren't efficient, broadly speaking. They presented the aesthetic of efficiency and disappeared anyone who called them out on their bullshit. For example, Mussolini's trains didn't run on time, apart from one or two showpony lines.

I wouldn't call creating mystery failing gracefully. As a user I would prefer a full crash to the application gas lighting me by suggesting there's something wrong with my setup (we can't find your printer vs you're not allowed to print).

If anything creating mystery about what the app is doing is the direct opposite of good UX.

> [...] the building next to the one in which I work, the world famous Draper Laboratory. [...] devoted almost entirely to missile guidance and submarine navigation.

In front of that Draper building, there was a strange pillar, which I liked to imagine housed a geo-positioning reference point -- perhaps even the origin of a coordinate system. Then, if ever there were an ICBM guidance failure, on that fateful day, Draper might be ground (0,0,0). Like an engineer standing under the bridge they built, as the first trucks drive over it.

I was thinking of that as intentional/conscious by the engineers.

(BTW, I'm not criticizing; only a little dark humor reflection upon a grave, world-ending responsibility. Given that nuclear weapons were inevitable, I'm glad my country has some, that apparently MAD has worked thus far, and that there hasn't yet been an apocalyptic incident. I also hope that certain autocratic world leaders are taking their vitamins, and won't get even nuttier.)
