When I was in Search 15 or so years ago, there was actually a very direct cost: revenue.

The AdMixer was an "optional" response for the search page. If the ads didn't return before the search results did, the search would just not show ads, and Google wouldn't get any revenue for it. Showed the premium that Google of the day put on latency and user experience. I think we lost a few million per year to timeouts, but it was worth it for generating user loyalty, and it put a very big incentive on the ads team to keep the serving stack fast.

No idea if it's still architected like that, I kinda doubt it given recent search experiences, but I thought it was brilliant just for the sake of aligning incentives between different parts of the organization.
Right. I don’t understand why people keep choosing to be poor and in need /s

C++ is super annoying in this way. Many other languages (e.g Rust) only have one compiler and good portability out of the box which completely avoids this problem. And other ecosystems that do have multiple implementation (e.g. JavaScript) seem to have much better compatibility/interop such that it's not typically a problem you have to spend much if any time on in practice.
> Is it because you call `C.function_name` instead of `function_name`, the latter of which some other languages will allow?

No, it's because they use completely different stacks. It has nothing to do with the aesthetics of the language.

> You will never notice or care. It is fully abstracted away.

I mean... aesthetically, sure. How the runtime works still matters a lot.
>Using data compiled by the federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the True Rate of Unemployment tracks the percentage of the U.S. labor force that does not have a full-time job (35+ hours a week) but wants one, has no job, or does not earn a living wage, conservatively pegged at $25,000 annually before taxes.

So many discussions online about unemployment take a framing like this, implying not so subtly that the government is lying about what unemployment _actually_ is. But the feds are publishing all of this data and being transparent about it. Nothing about having some arbitrary cap at salaries below 25,000 make this a “truer” metric.
Well, at the very least we will see employees leaving Panera in droves and I'd bet they'd be forced to increase their wages to just keep the doors open.
> Have you ever had a good manager?

Yes, I have had managers that I consider to be good. But my definition of good is closer to "the person responsible for hiring and firing me, but otherwise leaves me alone" than the definition provided in the OP.

I have had managers who match the definition of good provided. It's clear these guys had read too many books and listened to too much Tony Robins. Being a dummy for their management-fu is draining, and every interaction gives NPC vibes.

The former got literally 10x more out of me than the later.

There is this bad meme going around that because managers are often technically incompetent, they must make up for it in some other way. There's no law of nature that says that must be the case. You can be lacking in many skills, and slip through the hiring process and into a manager role.

> The median senior is just as poor at giving feedback as the median manager

I didn't say feedback, I said advice. The advice I'm looking for might be how to understand a technology or technique, or how to negotiate a raise. Why would I seek either from someone technically incompetent who has to negotiate against me?

Headcount isn't going down because the layoffs aren't principaled actions to "right-size" companies, but rather convenient buttons pushed to make numbers look better. The underlying causes of headcount growth are never meaningfully addressed afterwards, so any losses are quickly grown back after a token hiring freeze.

> Society does that because we've found that to lead better outcomes.

This is right to the point. Having kids socialize and be integrated in everyday life as much as possible has centuries of proven efficiency, for kids, parents, and society in general.

I don't think there's any solid high minded argument that goes one way or the other, it comes down to the practical repercussions of cutting a specific group from a whole slide social activities.
I think most devs also would rather work on something good too, but those jobs are rare and pay worse. That's the part that needs fixing
If a game doesn't work in Wayland, you could always launch it in gamescope[1], which AFAIR doesn't expose WAYLAND_DISPLAY by default, so games should treat it the same as an X11 desktop.

I'm not sure exactly what you're seeing but I do see a trend of Postgres products focussed on the frontend app developer e.g. Supabase, Neon.

Those developers are used to dealing with objects and types and SQL is a step further removed from what they're comfortable with.
When you say grammatically correct sentence, are you meaning a sentence where at least the grammar is identical in both English and West Frisian? Because that alone doesn't seem surprising; the grammatical similarity across all Germanic languages is indeed illustrated by the 'Comparative Germanic sentences' section of the very Wikipedia article you linked to.
If that was true, it would have happened without the law getting involved. The implications of this are obvious from some basic supply-demand logic.

Say before the law came into effect there were 100 people, 100 jobs and the market rate of pay is $12/hr.

Now there going to be more people willing to take work (say, 110 people), probably less jobs - say 99 for the sake of argument and the market rate is set to $20/hr. Panera will still fill the same number of positions and likely pay a little less than $12 (maybe $10). They can also offer lower prices so they'll probably do roaring business and make more profit.

A carve out won't hurt Panera. It'll make them much more profitable.
I've never had a physician diagnose a physical issue as "emotional".

Also, aside from the last two items (the last one being the most questionable inclusion), your healthy lifestyle list, while not technically wrong, has nothing specifically to do with emotions.
You must have misread something. The concern isn’t nebulous adults in white vans, it’s the “friendly” neighbourhood busybodies saying “do you really think you should be letting your kids roam free” that people fear. Social pressure is a hell of a drug.

Yeah, it’s nonsensical, but such is people. Similar to why most people aren’t having children in their sexual prime, instead waiting until they are of geriatric age. The harsh reality is that society says it’s wrong to have children “young” and ostracizes anyone who does. Just ask any teenage mother about the scorn they had to deal with.

Thousands of years ago most people didn't have time to sit around and evaluate what other people, especially those outside of the immediate tribe, do. Back then, life was actually hard. Only the richest kings could even begin to live in that kind of luxury. And even up until around the 1950s, most people lived rurally, so the kids weren't apt to leave the property anyway – if they did, who was going to see it? Not to mention that there wasn't the "You must go to university or you will ruin your life" nonsense that has emerged in the past ~30 years. Hell, in my grandparents time, it was uncommon to even go to high school. Back then, growing up and having children was celebrated, not featured on MTV with a show that tries to convince people to remain children for life.

The times have changed and the people have adjusted accordingly. When the public welcomes children back into the world, the parents will let their children back out into the world. But so long as the passive onlookers who don't know how to think rationally or keep their mouth shut believe that children should be nothing more than porcelain dolls that are there only to hang on the shelf for guests to admire...
Okay I'll bite, highlight the existing "poor working conditions" please.

The author did write they fear and are worried about "heightened risk of overwork (crunch)" but that doesn't mean it will happen.

Being worried about something happening and something happening are two different things in case I need to point that out.

It seems you're the one that needs to beef up your reading comprehension.

Hint: keywords are "risk", "worried", "fear".

The thing is, there are a lot of small systems maintained by a lot of small teams. Unfortunately, when Joel wrote

“They did it by making the single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make: They decided to rewrite the code from scratch.”

some people took the “any software company” to heart and now apply the same principle even in those smaller contexts when sometimes the code really is that bad and rewriting the whole thing really is by far the best plan. I’ve seen very senior people citing the Netscape case study to support a no-rewrite position while discussing a 10kLOC system that could be rewritten from scratch in a couple of weeks by a single developer.

Sure, the Sunday it's on moves around, but why would that matter? You're just trying to count the number of days the bus runs during a year under conditions like it runs/doesn't run on holidays/weekends. Easter is always a holiday, and always on a weekend. Under what circumstances would it matter which weekend?
Is that _really_ that big of a problem? As a non-American, I did not do my undergrad at a school as prestigious as the top ones in the USA. And yet, I am very happy with both my education and my career. (Probably more so than the average hacker news commenter, based on what I read here!)

To put this in American terms, is it really the end of the world to just earn your bachelor's at a solid but not necessarily elite public university? Thereby avoiding the need to "grind" so hard throughout your youth and adolescence? What are the stakes really?

The way I see it, if elite academics is the goal, graduate school is the time to be more selective because at that point one knows where to go based on one's research interests. If entrepreneurship is the dream, then the choice of school doesn't matter much at all! Otherwise, I think there are plenty of great jobs out there that don't require you to have gone to the #1 school in the country.

To be clear, I'm not American so I may just be completely misjudging the apparent importance of choice in school. Also, I likely have different personal priorities than you, so I'm not trying to deny your experience. I just question whether it is _really_ necessary "these days" to optimize childhood around getting into an elite university. I think it's really just a matter of priority.
IN Science talking about -reality- is, less or more, same as talking about a deity or truth or aeternity or infinite.. not very clear, what is -reality-?

Scientific theory are first about -facts-, measures, events, and they are not -true/false- but more or less precise, describing -something- about the world (reality?) not absolute but definitively a kind of knoweledge we cannot ignore, if we want made an airplane capable to fly.

When the pile of facts grow is easy to name it 'reality', and the shape it take can take a sort of meaning and guide the evolution of the science, we can name this 'explanations'? maybe yes, some kind of synthesis is necessary and is not a full scientific tool, but in the evolution of science this seems a necessary part.. as is the desire and pleasure or obsession doing a research of to study something.

More than this, philosophy can have every kind of solitary orgasm running in the space left free by the science

I don't think an "image generator", a tool that generates images that never existed before, can be held to any sort of standard that results in history being erased.
Looking at the first graph, it doesn't seem like this is a "shadowstats" group of cranks trying to tell you that the economy is worse than it is. According to their "true rate", the unemployment situation (as they define it) is now better than it has ever been. The "true" stats look better than the real ones.

Sure — those jobs will go first to the best employees.

And Panera will become that place where you know the quality and staff are worse, in both the “get my order wrong” and “seem to have a drug problem” senses.

Panera will then have to pay above market to attract quality back when they’ve developed a toxic workplace culture. All while customers are shifting habits.

To give a concrete example: suppose I am in rural West Virginia. I want to access HN. HN's only servers are in San Diego. My RTT to HN is limited by how my ISP can get to transit (most likely AS3356, formerly Level3, now Lumen). Let's suppose that's in Ashburn, Virginia, in Equinix's DC2 datacenter (https://www.equinix.com/data-centers/americas-colocation/uni...). (This is actually where my ISP meets Frontier en route to listserv.wvu.edu, so this isn't a totally contrived example.)

So now I have to go east 10ms in order to go 70ms west (80ms). If, say, this ISP could also reach transit in Pittsburgh, that might only be 5ms northwest followed by 60ms west (65ms).

Or if HN decided to spin up a second server location in Chicago, then I might only need to go a third of the way across the country instead of all the way (20ms or less).

This is what I believe Dave is referring to when he says that moving data and interconnectivity matters more than deploying fiber (which might save 5-10ms over cable).

I have read both of them. My rebuttal is: look at who wrote them, and compare that to the author I presented. "To find a detailed argument in favor of DNSSEC in 2024, you need to consult the blog posts of random people". Even if they were good blog posts, that would be damning.

That's as far as I feel like I have to go on this very old, very dead thread.

Submit either of them to HN as a new story, and if they hit the front page, you can be quite sure of getting a take from me on them.
If you're interested in CSS layouting, consider learning Flexbox and then CSS Grid first. These are both relatively straightforward with good documentation and relatively few quirks (esp. grid).

You don't really need flow layout at all these days. And you can certainly skip floats and table layouts entirely (use them only for their originally intended purpose of floated images within textual content and literal tables).

> Obesity is foremost an emotional problem, and typically needs to be addressed as such.

I think your theory here is too stuck on what is termed “morbidly” obese, rather than the wider population being discussed.

Being obese is now fairly normal in many countries, particularly the US, to the point that many people don’t even think of themselves/others who are obese that way, until they consult a bmi chart or go to their doctor.

Being overweight or obese is the default condition in America, and you have to actively design your lifestyle and habits in order to not fall in that category. It is an uphill battle the whole time, and has little to do with emotional issues, at least not specifically.
1mm is so massive, and 1 second is a massive timeframe, in relation to the mechanisms at play. There are so many papers (and retractions at massive scale) around attribution to fMRIs.

> Though they were relatively small in number that day, they’re part of a nationwide movement to eliminate voting technology and instead hand count every ballot — an option election administrators say is simply not feasible.

The election administrators are lying - most elections in the US were hand-counted until the 1970s or later [1], and France and many other countries hand-count to this day [2,3].

> Last year, for example, one county in Arizona estimated that counting all 105,000 ballots from the 2020 election would require at least 245 people working every day, including holidays, for almost three weeks.

This works out to each worker taking 23 minutes to count a single vote.

Actually rather than a car that does it all, I think of a car primarily for filling in the long tail of trips while public transportation handles the most common trips.

And to be clear I definitely don't advocate for extra large ram/escalade style cars here, my point is a 2 seat car that sits inbetween a car and a bicycle and is primarily for commuting is a wasteful and impractical idea.

omg dude - shouldn't these users be querying a database in some capacity where this data resides in the first place?

perhaps via some more "accountant friendly" app than SQL?

That said, I suppose that's partly the goal of this product... a visual/faster alternative to SQL though I personally avoid putting big data in excel, I just (as an accountant myself) carve out subsets from SQL and then peruse it via excel to identify whatever transactions/activity I need to analyze since the web interface for the ERP is such slow steaming garbage...

I'm more in search of a better excel than an excel which can handle big data as I suspect many users will somehow, no matter how well this is built, make it slow/terrible whereas an SQL based approach could be multiple of orders of magnitude faster....
> And ironically you can in fact achieve responsiveness without using media queries. That's arguably the entire point of more sophisticated layout algorithms like flexbox and grid.

Flexbox and Grid? They're certainly helpful, but not required! I remember trying to achieve a responsive layout in IE6 that IIRC only had limited support for min-width/max-width. It was possibly even back then, although I can't remember how it was done off the top of my head.

Oohh interesting. From the Wikipedia article on February, 1923:

February 28, 1923 (Wednesday)

The nation of Greece used the Julian calendar for the last time before adopting the Gregorian calendar, used by most of the world, the next day. In that the Julian calendar was 13 days behind the Gregorian, the day was noted as "February 15". The next day was March 1 rather than February 16.

It is unacceptable that Rockstar leadership have gone back on their word time and time again and have ignored the workers' requests for basic working conditions.
