It’s not that simple. If hundreds of billions of dollars need to be liquidated across every asset class in every industry, the entire economy is going to tank. Not just “oh no the stock market’s down.” Asset prices would drop severely (housing being the most “regular-person” applicable), many business will fail meaning many people will lose their jobs, and mortgages will be foreclosed upon due to suddenly being incredibly underwater without jobs. Picture 2008, but worse.

“Hold your shares or buy more at a discount” is incredibly out of touch with the average person who will be affected by an economic depression.

I have only used mono a couple times, but I am a bit confused by the wording here and it is likely because I don't know the full story of Mono.

But:

> Microsoft maintains a modern fork of Mono runtime in the dotnet/runtime repo and has been progressively moving workloads to that fork.

Does that mean that this mono project and its associated repo and what is within the dotnet repo are not the same and could (if they have not already) diverge?
Yea I mean I would not be surprised about this either. See also: sketchy cooking oil (sometimes literally transported in fuel tankers?), sketchy milk, etc etc. Food safety in China is still getting up to speed.

There was a time accounting was cool? I remember almost 2 decades ago during "take your kid to work day" when I was in grade 9 busting out a smartass teenager quip of "I never knew one job could be so confusing and boring at the same time" to my dad's boss when he asked me what I thought of the job at the end of the workday.

It (thankfully) elicited much laughter in the office over the next few months for its apparent humor and/or truth.

I guess I never realized there was a period in-between when Accounting was a desirable field. Sometimes I wonder if I'll see something similar to software engineering in my lifetime, but I remain steadfast that programming is neither as confusing nor boring as accounting.
Differs from country to country. In DE, salaried employees still have a number of hours/week in their contract (usually ~38) and are expected to log overtime and later take time in lieu. Max. permissible work hours per week is 48.

There are a bunch of exceptions for specific jobs.

The working hours, comp+ben etc. are usually determined by collective agreement with unions.

Pay for the same job can vary dramatically depending on which union your employer has a collective agreement with.

I know several people who got 25-30% pay rises just by moving to another part of the company that had an agreement with IG Metall instead of ver.di.
People used to make this claim about the primes all the time. That the reason they are so expensive is that they're rigorous and all that shit. It turns out that Space Shuttle style code means "blows up for all sorts of reasons".

The primes are expensive not because they're rigorous but because they're good at government contracting. They're going to get outcompeted soon. SpaceX and Tesla have shown that there is an opportunity in government contracting. Now, newer organizations are going to be "rigorous" in their own ways.
I’ll be honest I didn’t really read your comment far enough to get to where you said just two companies. You said you can’t buy chocolate in the USA and we have a wealth of chocolate. I guess being a foodie when someone mentions buying chocolate to me I don’t even think of Nestle or Hersheys, anymore than I’d think of Folgers and Maxwell House if someone said “I can’t buy coffee because it all changed”.

Guess I should read deeper before replying.

I recently was at a chocolate farm in Central America and they did talk about this change.

Almost always go downhill. There are exceptions.

In Death Valley, going downhill just gets you to Badwater. (Though there might be a road or at least a trail there.)

In some places in southern Utah, it gets you to the top of a several-hundred-foot cliff that you can't descend. Worse, pushing to keep following the watercourse down can get you below some smaller steps that you cannot go back up.

In northern Utah, down gets you to the Great Salt Lake. Depending on where you're coming from, that may not be a place you want to get to.

In many places in the Basin and Range, down just gets you to a dry lake that's absolutely nowhere with respect to civilization, or even water.

In Nevada, down may get you to where the Humboldt or Truckee River disappears underground.

Going down is generally good advice. It's not always good advice.

That does not address the comment you reply to, which looks at actual results. All the things the comment mentioned are from that same time period too. That shows that all that exposure and "awareness" still being chased today apparently did not help to achieve an actual result. That means that you attempting to show that awareness was achieved does not contradict the parent comment.

I'm with you on this one. I really don't care what my title is or what I'm referred to as long as the check clears. When people ask what I do, I say I'm a "software engineer" because I spent several years getting a BS in mechanical engineering, I've worked in several non-software jobs with "engineer" in the title, and the work is very similar. One could argue that only licensed engineers can actually call themselves "engineers", but that's not the way it works in America.

From what I understand, the work of a licensed engineer is not much different from that of unlicensed engineers, it's mostly a liability and compliance thing. That's not a dig at licensed engineers, by the way. Being legally liable for your engineering work translates to requiring more rigor and attention to detail than it would when you're not on the hook for failures. One of my professors in college was a licensed engineer. He said it was a colossal PITA to maintain his license, so he let it lapse.

I don’t have a problem with the Caltech admissions organization doing what they do as long as everyone isn’t afraid to acknowledge every aspect of what’s going on and are content with it.

Fuck you. A "toothbrush app" which shouldn't exist in the first place CANNOT justify AI anything.

What an indictment of our entire industry, nobody stopped this at any point. Nobody said "no we can't justify doing this to our customers", nobody said "this is an insane waste of the resources of everyone", nobody said "this is atrocious". APPLE didn't say "No you can't do this to the people we supposedly lock the garden for".

The management of our entire industry needs to be re-educated.

Also, how is it POSSIBLE to ship duplicate files in such an ecosystem? Apple could trivially and invisibly duplicate files in the file system and app submissions.
There can't be a single news story on the internet where people don't think it's part of some meta strategy or conspiracy.

I am always curious about how companies like this end. For fun I did some basic research on archive.org.

It appears that around 2015 the headquarters for make music moved from MN to CO.

This is around the same time that Greg (who wrote the blog post joined Make Music Inc), who also happens to live in Boulder.

Previously Greg was president of Alfred.com
(https://www.linkedin.com/company/alfred-music-publishing-co-...)

My guess is there was likely some move behind the scenes to boost revenue, and keep the business running initiated by a founder, or board member, which resulted in hiring Greg, relocating the headquarters from MN to CO, and probably also shifted the future of makemusic.

would be an interesting read :)

No, of course Trump didn't allow a shot to be taken anywhere near his head. You are certainly correct that he's a very self-regarding person unlikely to put himself in harm's way (another reason the "fight fight fight" fistpump is incongruent with the presence of a genuine threat). What we saw on his ear was just stage blood.

It's already emerged that there were men with guns in the building directly underneath Crooks, one of them probably fired some rounds into the crowd to give the scene believability. I doubt Crooks was even allowed to get on top of that building and point a rifle with live rounds anywhere in Trump's direction.

In the food industry (and probably others) this is called salami slicing. You take one thin slice off the salami and you can’t tell the difference. Then a little while later you do it again.

Eventually the salami is half the size it used to be and nobody notices until they get the original again.

Most Americans eat garbage all day so when it gets a little garbagier they can’t tell.
There's still some really good stuff out there. I just finished the General Chemistry courses on EdX and they're really good (with a very quiet discussion forum that's still visited by MIT staff). The Finance MicroMasters was also excellent and had active TAs on most courses. Exercises on all these courses were generally very high quality.

Another great online course that I recently took is this one on parallel computing [1]. It's not on Coursera/EdX but uses a custom platform, and I would say it goes beyond "fill in the blanks", the assignments are really challenging and have a lot of depth.

Compared to 5-10 years ago the trend is unfortunately definitely downwards though. A lot of great courses are archived and far fewer are being added than there were in the past.

This still fails to address the fundamental question: Why do so many HNers think that environmental groups have infinite power to shape public policy around nuclear energy, while they have failed to succeed in any number of other campaigns, including ones that are more serious (climate change) and/or self-contained (commercial whaling)?

You mean corruption and incompetence isn't? It's not like someone accidentally pressed wrong button or something. There are clear issues which can be fixed with more regulations when building nuclear plants and who can operate them.

Can't say much for other two, since it's more just human error. One's more of a technical problem that was addressed poorly and other, too unique to happen again. People don't usually murder/suicide in nuclear plants.
I am honestly curious who was really pushing this? Unless I missed it I don't think I heard anything about no taxes on tips until both candidates suddenly supported it. So just seems like it came out of nowhere.

If we really are going to stick with tips, I think it's fine. Maybe it will fix some of the issues on the workers side temporarily.

But we honestly just need to move away from tipping in the US. Give everyone a livable wage and increase prices slightly. I am already paying 15/20% more thanks to tipping so there is no harm in just increasing the cost of the item, likely less than I am paying now since it would be evenly split between everyone instead of just those that tip.
> no restaurant can afford a $40/hr minimum wage.

Of course they can: increase prices accordingly (I'm not commenting on what a reasonable wage for serving is, just that tipping is a bad way to get to that wage).

It's not like customers don't have to consider the cost of the mandatory tipping bullshit when you consider where to eat and whether you can afford it in any case.

How many images/angles can you effectively sample and compare on that hardware in a 30 second cycle time? How would you process images from more than one camera? If you have 8 cameras, can the defect recognition software run on 8 threads?

Mono was the .net implementation for Linux (and others ?) years ago while microsoft published the windows .net runtime

Since then, microsoft supports https://github.com/dotnet/runtime, which is MIT licensed

Mono has no reason to live anymore, hence the lack of commits and contributions

It is a dead project, I wonder what winehq has in mind here

edit: as pointed by the comments, mono supports .net runtime before the newer ".net core" (which is not compatible). Because wine wants to be able to run older windows code, they probably still use this.
