My guess would be that quite a large portion of changes we'd expect at a glance to be identical aren't, especially for inputs that would not be expected. I'd also guess this is much more likely in languages in which valid code commonly produces undefined behavior.

If the tool could show you, for example, "this change is functionally identical except for when the sum of the two inputs overflows a UInt64", that'd be pretty cool.
The difference is that money was created then for that purpose. In an ideal universal basic income, the money comes from taxes; not just printed on the spot. This to my (probably base and naive understanding of economics) would not result inflation, because it would be a re-circulation/flow of tax money, rather than injecting new money to the economy.

Check the ultimatum game for proof that people are definitely able to prefer no money at all.

I’m not saying this is what is happening here, but money doesn’t come alone, and overall it might be worse than no money. My point is, money is not everything - sounds really old, but it’s surprisingly true still.

Can’t help but think that all of FANGS would have seemed to be “transparently idiotic” early on. I mean, creating yet another search engine with no business plan is pretty idiotic. As is creating yet another social network or a book store. Come to think of it, all of the “v1.0” projects I worked on seemed pretty idiotic too and I thought they’d never make money. A good number of them have $1B+ yearly revenues today. To me the takeaway is: aside from the truly clinica cases, you can never tell what will take off and what won’t.

> Some people had young children that didn't understand that "you can't bother mommy or daddy right now" and it was a constant fight.

One of the tech companies where I live had a problem where a lot of parents who got to WFH went on to cancel their daycare. They thought they'd save a lot of money by watching the kids while they worked.

Companies were really lenient about kids at home for a while when daycares were frequently closed due to COVID. Some people saw this and thought it was an invitation to have their kids home all the time.

It went about as well as you'd expect.

Last year we had a lab that was 25 minutes away. I carpooled with a neighbor. It seemed, OK, especially as we only went in a couple of times a week.

We lost that space and switched to a lab about 10 minutes away. It's amazing what a difference that made! We go in more often because the psychological cost is so much lower.

We could have rented lab space that is less than 5 minutes' walk for me, but no such luck.

i was thinking more if the current crop of AI are useless, they won't get enough money pumped into them to lead to runaway amplification. if there's genuine risk, then there will be rewards. if we're close to that kind of AI, then we can't afford for our enemies to find it first.
Let's not also forget the "sshd" exploit some months ago was actually a libsystemd issue. An uncomfortable truth that was buried and not reported on at all. These do-it-all monoliths are the death of an ecosystem, and always seem to introduce more issues than they actually solve. If this is the future of Linux, then I'm making preparations to abandon ship.
Probably more of a question of when the FAA will approve such aircraft. It looks like they've been building prototypes since 2011 so I'm sure the tech is pretty solid at this point. Boeing does have experience building UAVs and I'm sure this isn't that technically different. They likely wouldn't be doing any advanced flying like going between buildings or landing anywhere but an airport.
I was advocating it more as a way of quitting TBH and rubbing the insanity of those cities' RE costs in their faces.
I think the reality is that demand for good software developers is only going to grow. This has been the trend since the 1960's and it shows no signs of reversing. There have been periods of slowdown and reversal (e.g. dot com bust) but the trend continues.

Good software developers are a scarce resource. There's a lot that goes into the mix of making one. AI can't replace them yet. They're critical for the success of many businesses.

We were in layoff mode but that seems to be reversing. Even if we see a bit more ups and downs the trend of more technology everywhere and the increasing demand for building and maintaining all that technology is not going away. The only real game changer is AI but when AI replaces all good software developers it has replaced everyone in the job market and we have bigger worries if we're even still around.

> I dislike when companies mimic the prestige of open source by saying "source available"

It can be a practical need, rather than a prestige grab. Some people can only sink time into developing their software if sales of that software pay their bills. The redistribution rights granted by an open-source license somewhat conflict with this, by allowing another party to appropriate their original work and use it to undercut them. (This is part of why a revenue model based on services, rather than sales, is often encouraged in open-source.)

Meanwhile, the author might very much want to offer customers other rights granted by open-source licenses, like the ability to inspect the code, or to have it audited, or to modify it, or to build it from source as an assurance of what instructions are being executed. This is a situation where "source available" makes sense.

Looking at it from the other direction, some potential customers will only accept software that grants the latter rights, but don't care about redistribution rights. "Source available" is a viable option for them as well.

I wonder if it would be helpful to have a new, clearly defined term for a class of licenses granting inspection & modification rights without redistribution rights, and explicitly protecting users from additional restrictions like fees for source access. That could help make licensing of this kind easy to identify and understand, and if that meant wider acceptance, perhaps more developers would be willing to release their source code to users.

(I do see "Fair Source" mentioned in another comment, but I haven't investigated to see if it aligns with what I'm describing.)

We're moving to an open plan office design, to help people collaborate and interact in new emergent ways and improve productivity.

Long ago (too long for a search to dig it up) there was an article in the Wall Street Journal comparing litigation for wrongful death in different circumstances. If I remember correctly, two determinants were location (major urban center vs rural) and profession/status of the victim. The variance was considerable. An aggregate statistical value for something like a QALY is a pretty rough measure.

> and the main reason why Trump stands a chance this year is because the left has made no overtures whatsoever to the center and center-right.

People keep repeating this like it's some kind of obvious basic fact and I get more and more confused each time.

How much more "center" can you get than Joe Biden? Or Hillary Clinton? Or Kamala Harris? As far as I know, they're all in favor of arresting illegal immigrants, using military power to further foreign policies, moderate taxation, little to no drug legalization, mass incarceration for felons, barely any gun control, etc, etc.

What exactly is the "center-right" looking for that they're not getting?

Every time the media (and social media) brings up self-described right wing desires, they're pretty much entirely culture war issues, is that what you mean?
Because you're just generating tokens as opposed to actually engaging in irl discourse inside the company, whatever that means for your field of expertise.
> I feel like a lot of this could be solved with a month long holiday like they do in Europe.

It could, but my initial assessment is that US workers tend to not make the connection that a reduced social safety net raises the stakes of employment and results in workers eventually playing a game of chicken sacrificing aspects of their quality of life like vacation, commute, and environment for job security.
I have a 4K Chromecast w/ Google TV (Android TV?), and Apple TV is my favorite app to use on it. It doesn't have any ads or technical issues that the other streaming services have, it just works. HBO Max is the only other app that comes close. Everything else is only in the "usable" category.
It's not quite so simple.

Another thing that's happened is that all the good jobs in many industries have hyper-concentrated into a small number of locations. There's plenty of space to live available in many "main street" towns, but not necessarily anywhere nearby to work if you do choose to live there.

My own city (Chicago) does have new construction, but it can't possibly keep up with demand from people moving into the city, because all the land is already full of lower-density housing, and you can't replace half a city block's worth of two- and three-flat dwellings with a modern high rise without first getting all the people who already live there to move out. Which, best case scenario, takes time. So instead most the new construction consists of replacing 130 year old 2- and 3-flat residences with luxury single-family homes, because nimbyism or now, reducing housing density is just more economically feasible. All it takes is one wealthy family buying one lot of land, and there area lot more individual lots up for sale than there are contiguous blocks of eight.

Several of the graphics in the article are from the book Coming Apart [1] which actually makes a more complex argument.

Specifically, it says the ruling class no longer publicly supports traditional family structures, despite continuing to follow them for themselves.

Nobody these days would have anything bad to say about single mothers, or unmarried couples. But when you look at the behaviour of the top 20 percent in socioeconomic status? They're all forming married two-parent households.

(The book covers a load of other topics and supports its observations a lot more than my short HN post, naturally)

hyperfine is absolutely brilliant. My go-to replacement for time.
This strikes me as such an out-of-touch idea right now.

Maybe in the distant future we do not need people to work. But we are currently dealing with the largest retiree population our country has ever had, and more money chasing after fewer goods and services nearly crippled our economy with stagflation. It takes two weeks to get a plumber right now in our area.

If you also hope to implement UBI nationwide, you need some expectation that it pays for itself with productivity gains. Otherwise it will all get inflated away into nothing.

Actually the Venn diagram of remote jobs and not being bothered by one's age pretty much overlaps.

Remote work has a way of prioritizing professionalism and solid communication over in person social signaling which is likely to help be anti-ageist.

I'm honestly surprised it's not much higher than "over 60%". I know that a lot of orgs have done lift+shift for Windows services on Azure... Considering many, many things developed for .Net are trivial to update/port to newer versions on Linux/Docker, I'm just surprised more haven't done so.
That has been true for decades?
I'm not sure. How do you measure "degree of regulation"? At face value it's an abstract concept with a lot of dimensions.

Shameless plug: https://undo.io does everything rr can but can also work with drivers that update the process memory (or unrecorded processes or even hardware). If you need that kind of advanced usage, check it out.

UseMemo should not be used for fetching/kicking off a fetch either. UseMemo fans should be pure. Using logic that belongs into useEffect (logic that happens _outside_ the reactive flow) could potentially lead to other side effects which are very hard to debug. Just a example: a lot of fetch implementations are using fetch with a cache triggered in useMemo returning immediately. You will probably have a setState somewhere in the flow which will terribly interrupt react and break your page.

In case you trigger a native fetch, you've got no way to cancel the call due to the missing cleanup fn.
When I had to figure out how to add SAML authentication to a custom application, I built a barebones, no-framework Java application[1] just to understand the webflow. A good way to understand it is to just set up your own IDP like Keycloak running locally and play around with it.

Adverbial particles are certainly interesting, and widely used in English. Sometimes they are mandatory for a verb; othertimes they are redundant or change the meaning. Sometimes they take no direct object, but if they take it there are 3 places it can be (before, after, or size-dependent):

For "sit" we have a wide variety:

* plain "sit" - a variety of meanings, most intransitive. Notably means "relax" unlike the other forms. Note that it can be followed by a preposition with the same spelling as the particles below (e.g. "sit down the hall")

* "sit down" - physical movement, also used for meetings. When transitive, the DO always goes before the particle.

* "sit up" - physical movement (from "slouching" or "lying down"), always intransitive. A following "with" is sometimes analyzed as another particle but could just be a preposition.

* "sit in" - protest, temporarily attend. Always(?) intransitive (if followed by an object it is the object of preposition "in", not particle "in"); often followed by an "on", "for", or "with" prepositional phrase (though those are sometimes analyzed as additional particles instead)

* "sit off" - not putting full effort in sports. Always transitive, with the DO always after the particle. I'm not familiar with this personally.

* "sit out" - not participate. When transitive, the DO goes before the particle if short (by default, no more than determiner + object), but after if long. So, usually "sit the game out" with "sit out the whole game", but it is possible to stretch the definition of "short" slightly.

Plus some others that are sometimes analyzed as adverbial particles but can also be analyzed as normal adverbs or prepositions:

* "sit around"/"sit about" - idle. Usually intransitive, so can also be analyzed as a normal adverb, but can also be transitive (usually followed by "the house") which would make it a preposition ... Related, I utterly reject the abomination that analyzes words as prepositions when they don't have an object.

* "sit back" - relax or recline. Intransitive, so can also be analyzed as a normal adverb.

* "sit [idly] by" - refrain from intervening. Intransitive, so can also be analyzed as a normal adverb.

* "sit for" - babysit or model for. Transitive. I strongly dispute this analysis since the preposition interpretation provides all the meaning already ... especially given the similarity to "hold office for" which I haven't seen analyzed this way.

* "sit on" - delay, restrain, take no action. Transitive and the DO follows, so "on" can also be analyzed as a preposition.

* "sit over" - make room (intransitive), be left of and thus play cards after (transitive), burden (transitive)

* "sit under" - be right of and thus play cards before (transitive), learn from a religious teacher (transitive)

* "sit through" - remain through something unpleasant. Transitive and the DO follows, so maybe "through" is just a preposition.

* "sit with" - harmonize, reflect. Transitive and the DO follows, so maybe "with" is just a preposition

Maintainer of rrweb here. I used replay.io for debugging sometimes, it’s really quite useful. It is however a standalone browser and it works by intercepting quite low level browser calls which is only possible to do with a forked version of a browser. So it’s great for debugging if you know what you’d like to reproduce or deep-dive into. rrweb is more versatile as it can run in any browser and you could use it for analytics, live streaming for support, or recording tutorial videos like we do at https://recordonce.com
I don't think the concern is that it would be explosive, just that if the meteor were large enough it would destroy the storage and send the waste up into the atmosphere and it would spread around.
Entropy is the distribution of potential over negative potential.

This could be said "the distribution of what ever may be over the surface area of where it may be."

This is erroneously taught in conventional information theory as "the number of configurations in a system" or the available information that has yet to be retrieved. Entropy includes the unforseen, and out of scope.

Entropy is merely the predisposition to flow from high to low pressure (potential). That is it. Information is a form of potential.

Philosophically what are entropy's guarantees?

- That there will always be a super-scope, which may interfere in ways unanticipated;

- everything decays the only mystery is when and how.

Working a job you don't like is a leaser evil than mooching off of your neighbors. The level of entitlement required to argue the opposite is absolutely mind boggling.

How many people have to work full time to support one able-bodied layabout?

UBI may make sense in the event of technology-induced mass unemployment, but folks won't tolerate it otherwise. The incentives are simply and universally too bass-ackwards for society to function. They're backwards for the idle (who will find it easier to cut costs than work), for new graduates (who can split living costs with friends and delay entry into the workforce indefinitely), for workers (who would rather rent a trailer and chill than work 40 hours a week and live in the 'burbs and drive a new truck), and for politicians (who will shamelessly promise endless increases in benefits).

IMO UBI is a litmus test for basement dwellers, unserious utopians and plain-old first-order thinkers.
Upon thinking about it a little more, I actually have a stronger opinion that it's probably not ideal to try to assign direction to durations themselves, and even then making them signed wouldn't be the best way. A duration is a scalar length measurement in the time axis. Those things are always positive, at least in our universe. I don't think we gain much by pretending otherwise, and I think we lose clarity.

Expressing a before/after relationship requires that we establish what is the anchor point. Is it the present time experienced in my reference frame? Is it unix epoch? Using a negative number to denote a disembodied "duration before" leaves me guessing about the anchor. In the case when we want to express the timestamp "3 days before/after time t0" I think it's probably best to say something like:

t0.before(3.days()) // -> Timestamp
t0.after(3.days())

This isn't a criticism of your library, it looks awesome and I'll definitely use it. I am fairly surprised that negative duration definition made it into the standard though.
