I love functional languages but I'm not sure how JavaScript could be considered as a functional language (at least if functional means something like haskell, or elm). Functions-as-values isn't enough, otherwise Python could be called a functional language.

The ceremonies at the beginning and the end—not a big deal. The part that matters is what you do there.

I think the celebrations are more for the parents, really. We live our lives in the bulk, the area, the day-to-day. We experience others’ lives at boundary transitions, the perimeter, the ending ceremonies.
Seems a little low compared to the numbers I've seen reported, which makes sense. The promoted numbers are actually the most shocking, they must lose a lot of people
>That is because those are the lowest prices possible. Insurance companies earn tiny low single digit profit margins. Almost every dollar they collect goes out as an expense for claims.

Just as a caveat to this, UnitedHealth Group posted a FY'23 (according to their FY2023 investor report) profit of 22.4 billion USD. Profit, not revenue. Now, that's about a 6% margin (FY'23 net rev was 371.6 billion), so you're right about single digit profit margins, but the sheer scale of UHG is insane. They have plenty of room to reduce profits, and shouldn't be held to the same rules that non-essential service providers are held to.

They can, and absolutely should reduce the costs they pass along to end-users, especially those who are healthy and don't make claims.

>They literally have to get their prices approved by the state government regulator. To suggest they are colluding to ratchet up the amount of money they spend on healthcare is unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.

Those same regulators are just as susceptible to bribes, kickbacks, "lobbying" and other favors as any other politician.

>It’s actually funny, because at the same time, there are complaints of insurance denying coverage and requiring prior authorizations. So which is it? Insurance companies inflating healthcare spend to increase their profit, or denying coverage to reduce healthcare spend to increase profit?

It's both.

>That must be because you are in a low population state, or a state where the regulators make it difficult for companies to compete. For example, New Jersey has many options for an individual to choose from:

I don't live in a low population state. I live in one of the 3 most populated states. My rates are still sky high, which is odd considering I: don't consume alcohol, exercise religiously, eat cleanly, don't have a family history of any major diseases or illnesses, don't have preexisting conditions, am under 35, don't take any medication, and most importantly, haven't made a claim against my insurance in over a decade - the last time I have had any medical procedure of any major sort was an X-ray when I broke my wrist as an undergrad in college, and I paid cash for that. So, why are my rates still over $250 a month? I'm self-employed running a small startup with myself and a sibling as the only employees. While I made good money in a previous job, $250 a month for basically nothing is a sinkhole that I would like to avoid, $3k a year isn't much in the grand scheme of things, but it's $3k I could use to pay rent, invest into my company, invest into the markets, or just use to live my life. It's a waste.
Even guaranteed payment on layoff?
This wasn't a question about efficient pricing (they could just buy an index fund and be done with it), but it's a question about distributing returns vs principal.
> Y Combinator will continue to exist in a post-attention-economy world. They have proven themselves to be quite adaptable.

That's not the question. Hacker News was used as an example of an old-school site that worked without monetisation. Which is clearly not the case.

A gargbage collector need not be conservative. Interestingly linux (and most posix compliant unices I guess) implements, as last resort, an actual tracing file descriptor garbage collector to track the lifetime of file descriptors: as they can be shared across processes via unix sockets (potentially recursively), arbitrary cycles can be created and reference counting is not enough.
the others get to boss people around and make them do their bidding. they clearly enjoy it. why would they need to be paid more for it?
I don't really see any real personal benefit to participating in company internal ones, especially when you're not given any reprieve of your normal tasks (i.e. your main job will be accumulating a backlog of work while you're busy doing the hackathon that you'll have to work extra to catch up on).

Both my current job, and the client I'm working for on behalf of my current job (I'm in consulting) have hosted a couple of hackathons each, and I didn't participate in them. I remember one of them was over a weekend, so I would have had to give up my weekend in order to participate, and essentially work 12 straight days for my company (two weeks of weekdays with the weekend in between) without a break.

If I'm going to do extra work above and beyond my main job, I'm going to work on my own projects and release them myself. And the main things I want to work on are game-related anyway, which my current job doesn't care about at all.
>I think I understand.

No. You clearly don't.

I said:

It's not that I care what you (or anyone else) calls themselves. Whatever you
(or anyone else, for that matter) choose is just fine with me (not that I
have any say in the matter, just clarifying my point of view).

As I said, I don't speak for anyone else, so others ("people," as you put it)
may well have objected.

I object not to the terms themselves, nor to others who choose to use those
terms for themselves. Rather, I object to those terms being applied to me,
and even more, that it be demanded that I use those terms to describe myself
in this context.

I shan't repeat myself again.
> I absolutely hate Microsoft with every fiber of my being.

Why? I get it back when they were super hostile to Linux and open source, but those days are long past.

That's what I suspect for my own setting anyway.
You are interpreting “fundamental” as ‘highest priority’, which is not the only, (or most commonly expressed) definition of the word.

Fundamental is also defined as “so basic as to be hard to alter, resolve, or overcome.”

I would argue that ‘saving lives’ is not a ‘basic’ process; it is complex. However, informing someone’s next-of-kin of their passing, is a basic (ie fundamental) role of a healthcare facility.

I think when you include hyper-partisan framing around your message, it undermines the message then if you had just presented it directly.

It's also not Republicans that I don't like, it's the professional concern trolls that I don't care for.
These ceremonies are meaningful if you invest meaning into them.

For my college graduation, the dean did something small to make the ceremony more meaningful. He asked us all to stand up, look back to our family, and applaud them for supporting us all these years. For me, looking back at my parents and thanking them for all they've done for me was a beautiful moment. And it was a full-circle moment for our family, the culmination of a long journey of immigrating to the US, moving around in search of stability. We had moved to be able to buy a house and to get us good, affordable educations. Both of those dreams were fulfilled at that time.

I don't recall much else from that ceremony. Not the speakers, but a few of the interactions afterward with my fellow students and their families.
I'd rather take the money and spend it as fit.
High sales doesn't mean quality but it does reflect the choice of the majority.

So if we were to move to a world where high quality productions were not feasible anymore for some reason or another then by definition most people would find this to be a problem.
And you said that comment couldn't be a spring-board for continued discussion :)

That was chewy. I can't give it the reply it deserves (not least because I haven't walked in those shoes), but I think "transgressive" is absolutely the key word here. Thank you for surfacing it. I, personally, do not believe hacking is transgressive. For evidence I point to how easily "hackers" slip into corporate roles.

> A postmodern/conceptual reading of queerness could state that the subversion is more integral to the concept of queerness than the actual details

I think I instinctively lean towards this definition. It reminds me of maximalist vs minimalist definitions of religion. Choose a maximalist definition and you end up including things like philosophies and political ideologies. Choose a minimalist defintion, and you end up missing out some things that are self-evidently religions. Truth is, religion is one of those "you know it when you see it" things, and maybe Queerness is too?
Double the distaste indeed :D

I would think that even if these weren't showing up on google that people would be able to find the subdomains through dns. They should probably move these to an internal domain so they are harder to find.
When I stopped using Windoze for Linux around 2006, I gave up on playing games on pc, which was fine as I always have latest generation consoles around anyways. Eventually it got annoying and expensive to keep consoles around, and more so now with the push to buy games digitally that you don't really even own and will stop working one day.

Finally when Valve got involved to fix wine with Proton, it changed everything as a Linux user, and finally I don't need dedicated consoles to play what few games I still do. If a game is loaded with invasive DRM to NOT work under Proton/Linux, they're doing me a favor as I don't want to support them anyways.

Proton alone made Valve saints to myself and most all Linux users in giving gaming back to the Linux world, far more than scabs like Epic that criticize Valve for market dominance ever will.
> And luxury belief and illegal alien aren't euphemisms, they are specific terms with a set meaning. Illegal alien is a technical legal term with a precise meaning, even.

Undocumented or unauthorized alien/immigrant is a technical legal term [1], "illegal alien" is loaded language used for propaganda.

Developer layoffs are always projected as huge savings in expenditure. It probably gives the impression that developers' pay is higher compared to other employees.
Until they aren't and there is no US law to give them back.
Oh, I see, I think: you are saying that we have preserved a preference for our ancestral habitat, and that has motivated recent migration into arid areas? Maybe so; we still have some physiological adaptions for warm climates.

When it comes to agriculture in the desert, which is still the major reason why the snowpack shortfall is a matter of concern, the motivation seems more economic: crops grow very well in sunny climates, so long as you can give them adequate water - and we could, for a while, but probably not sustainably.
It is possible that programmers are taking less money than their worth due to the fact that our jobs are basically fun, but that’s an exploitation rather than a feature.
It felt weird in my mouth the first few times I used it, but I find allowlist and blocklist to be a lot more descriptive too.

I believe there is a macro for that.
It is a shame that this submission has received so little interest. The Steering Council has regularly ignored privacy, either explicitly or implicitly (everyone knew the latest victim of the council anyway).

What has come out of the no-confidence vote? I'm reluctant to visit PSF infrastructure, since the admins have been known to track IP addresses.

If the core developers do not resist this time, I think the PSF/python-dev are officially lost.
This is why I strongly prefer working on software made by developers for developers. That is to say, internal tooling. You can just show the entire error message in as much detail as possible, without a PM stepping in and saying you can't show this much scary text to the typical user. Especially if the user of the software also has easy access to your source code so they can search for the exact string and find the exact location of the error, and understand exactly what checks are being done to emit that error.

That's a good point, but an entirely different one to 'you waste time not becoming a more competitive hire in the market', which is what I was responding to.
Where do you propose we go instead?
We learned to do that in my second CS class at university. It is a common way to represent a matrix. instead of keeping track of just `i`, you will also have a row index and use the modulus operator on the iterator tracking (i) to get the column index.

Doesn’t mention the distribution of employees though. Is the AI/Azure division mostly located in Redmond? If so, the pay scale is very low.

The more these companies consolidate. The less competition there is. Thus can get away with terrible pay.

I don’t know why anybody would work at the second layer of hell known as Microsoft. Third layer of hell is probably Dell or Oracle.
I guess people can take these headlines about nutrition research a bit too serious. Doesn't help that there's so much vested interested involved in what people chose to eat.

I do think trying to make sense of it is a great exercise in critical thinking. And I enjoy one thing about this: nutrition is about complexity. Trying to nail down a perfect diet or 'super food' is akin to looking for a silver bullet in software development.

Also a great opportunity to think about unintended consequences and consumerism. Think about the impact of quinoa fads on Peruvian farmer communities.

If anything, nutrition science is a masterclass in complexity. That's probably why these cliche 'oh nutrition science is so full of contradictions' rub me the wrong way.
HR and accounting are not in charge of pay and hiring. They are involved, but management is in charge and sets the rules.

I have seen cases where I made more than my boss (the difference was a few hundred/year), but it wasn't long before they promoted my boss so that wasn't the case. (I'm convinced that it was only allowed to happen just long enough to say it was possible and then when nobody was looking they promoted him to ensure it doesn't become a pattern)
The overhead for epoch stopping like wasm uses can be something like 1%. I did a synthetic test with native code once because I was curious.

Wolves value their pack too. The only lone wolves tend to be young males that were pushed out of their pack and are looking to find/start a new pack. Wolf pack is family, and stays together.
Another big use of euphemisms is as "dog whistles" to insult people without being explicit about the insult. These uses also naturally change as people not intended to understand the slur begin to recognize it for what it is. "Those people", the "bad ones", derogatory use of "special", etc.
I'd rather keep my IQ points than have a decent smile.

> The difference is that in Go you are expected to explicitly send the result via a channel or some other data structure and then synchronize the completion of the execution, where-as with tasks you simply await that.

That may be be the case in Go but it's not an inherent property of green threads. See, for example, Gleam Tasks [0] which are based on green threads and provide the syntatic convenience of being able to await the result rather than receiving a message:

let task = task.async(fn() { do_some_work() })
let value = do_some_other_work()
value + task.await(task, 100)

They do so without the disadvantage of bifurcating the code base into sync and async functions.

> Consumers _love_ the ad-supported internet, as evidenced by the incredible success of ad-supported vs subscription supported services.

Consumers also love the lottery and casinos, even though they both have a negative ROI.

Consumers think they're getting something for free, but the bill for their "free service" comes the next time they go to the store and pay $10 more, spread over dozens of items they buy every month, to pay for marginal cost of advertising.

The price is hidden so well that our lizard brains don't connect the two, that's what makes the entire scheme so effective, but it definitely isn't "free".
People don't "just posit" that the outdated forms are pejorative. They hold that view because the countries themselves (at an official level) have deemed them to be so, due to their colonialist implications. And have therefore kindly requested you to stop using them.

That isn't true in at least two other industries: Finance and sports.

At investment banks, it's quite possible for a star trader or I-banker to be paid more than the CEO.

An NFL head coach is almost certainly paid less than the starting QB, and possibly other positions. The general manager is paid far less than many players.
No one sets pay rates. Pay for labor in a free market economy is determined purely by supply and demand. So literally the entire concept of "paid less than their worth" is nonsense, because the economy is what is evaluating "the worth". Here's a simple question, how would you prove that someone is "being paid less than their 'worth'"? I can fantasize any figure for my "true worth" and make noise about being paid less than it; it's just as meaningless.

It also occurred to me that the movement to make most IT jobs 100% remote depresses pay which would normally be based on local standard of living (much higher in cities)
Doesn't it say they stopped reporting payouts in 2019?
An idea that I have mused over but haven't attempted to pursue is a code repo (with history, pull requests, etc) as a vehicle for epistolary fiction. There are short stories as sequences of news articles or letters, novels given as diaries, etc -- so why not a story told through issues, pull requests, and the code base? In comparison to code as the text at a given point in time, the whole repo and its presentation of history would let you see both concepts and characters (contributors) changing over time, and a let a reader/user infer certain events outside of the repo (e.g. a merge is followed an hour later by a PR to revert it, with a curse-laden description and rapid approval lets us know that something broke).

Making something that really works in this form both involves a creative insight (What's the story that makes this format shine? What's the code that our characters are building?) and some technical nuggets (writing scripts+tools that generate git history and/or github/gitlab/whatever API calls, acting as multiple parties).
What do Go channels do that takes advantage of their green threads?
Fyi, monetary values of things, like US GDP or stock prices, can be exponential forever, if we wanted, because they're socially constructed.

I am talking about real things. Cruise ship sizes improved dramatically but... actually linearly? There won't be 1,000,000 GT cruise ships in 2050. Or 60.

You have to use specific measurements like FLOPS/$ to keep moore's law alive, because the focus has been only on a certain kind of FLOP (the fp32 MAC for graphics, or perhaps the INT8/FP8 in recent years). Because in general, it's dead. It's more performance, for more money. Because lithography is really hard, harder now than ever (and water is wet).
Same for leaf blowers. I worked on a farm in the Swiss mountains where we used large Stihl leaf blowers to get the hay down the mountain [1] so we could pick it up by machine and electric leaf blowers were only used for cleanup jobs in the barn.
Nowadays I live in the city but I still get sweaty flashbacks whenever I hear a gas leaf blower during the summer months.

[1]: Similar to https://youtu.be/Rni8F0GFjW4?t=145 but just imagine the mountains/rolls of hay to be 2m high and the slope be >45°s
This is correct. Understanding is math.
Humans should have access to a consistent generous ration for hygiene, drinking water, and moderate home gardening. I think it's reasonable to cut people off (during a major drought with rationing) when they start focusing on trying to maintain large lawns, golf courses, swimming pools, etc.

So you're hitting upon an actual problem that we encounter often in the tech age. It turns out there's a whole category of users who have this problem: users who have no secure place to store secondary data. In other words: the homeless.

They have access to the Internet at libraries and as more and more of the world goes on line, that access becomes more and more necessary. But they don't necessarily have a wallet (let alone a safe) to store passwords and 2FA tokens, and when they lose them it's a major issue.

This is a known problem but (as with so many issues in marginalized communities), the challenge to solving it is that it will make the system worse for everyone (including them) if we relax 2FA requirements; hackers can crack passwords on, and impersonate, the homeless just as easily as everyone else.

(The best idea I've actually heard in this space is for librarians to be willing to serve as data repositories for their local unhoused patrons. They are onsite enough and have enough face-to-face interaction to be able to spot-auth someone because they know them by name. But there's a massive liability concern about the library becoming a target for identity theft that keeps most places from considering it).
Well, they tried cleaning it then people set up toilets specifically to poop directly into it and dirty it again with untreated raw sewage this time.
Until it's part of the upstream kernel like AMD's driver, it doesn't count. Throwing a tarball over the wall and calling that open source is a joke.

I strongly believe that AMD's driver is superior because the open source process makes it better. NVIDIA does not participate in that process.
