I have 4 passports, all valid. With slightly different name spellings, from 3 different countries.

That kind of real-world complexity is always hand-waved by cryptopushers in the: "Imagine Goldman Sachs..." pitches.
I'm in a similar boat right now as a founder -- likely to just hire 1 engineer at this stage, and have runway for 18-24 months at most.

If the hypothesis is correct and the mission is working, you go raise the next round in another 9-12 months.
I don't think those specs make a difference. You would need a wide gamut display and a hardware calibrator to be sure you were looking at the colour as it should be

Not being able to flash the firmware is a feature, not a bug. :)

> Yes, motherhood is important - for all of us, and people raising families are something we need to do better to accommodate society wide, but implying the most important thing a woman could ever do is be a baby factory is stupid regressive thinking.

Without that occurring, society and civilization would soon cease to exist. It's a little difficult to overstate its importance. I would even go so far as to say that the most important thing a man can do is become a father.

If people were trying to disabuse the rest of us of the notion that a woman can't succeed in a career and also be a mother, the actions of the conference organizer undermined that.

> Which makes a more meaningful impact to society and the world, raising one child

Raising 2.1 children, but I'll forgive getting the number wrong. Pretending that this doesn't have a more meaningful impact than having a c-level job title in some company trying to launch a phone app that will sell us pet food more efficiently is asinine.
You are being sarcastic but my experience is that it seems to be the way things are generally done.

Company gets an answer they don't like from employees. They spend at minimum upwards of six figures on consultants(or millions). The constants provide either no value or set them selves up an income stream at several times what it would have cost to listen to the employees.

I think most upper mgmt assumes that if you work for them you are by definition a dumb loser that cannot do "business"

I've even seen one time where the consultancy blatantly used it as a foot in the door to steal high value customers to their own businesses. The business owner was warned by his business development director and he blew it off as not understanding how this wall street money stuff works.
After reading the few details in the article, it sounds like it could have just been a disagreement about when a baby's noises cross the line into "distraction."

OP describes a “blessing and privilege only afforded to women.” That describes the biological process of having a baby. Not parenting and child rearing broadly, whether that be by the father, adoptive parents or extended family and community that help nurture a child.

(I’m hopeful this was mis-phrased by OP.)
Has Intel seriously competed with Nvidia? After OpenCL died it was pretty much CUDA versus the world. Nobody competes with Nvidia, because the train left the station while all their competition fought each-other. Samsung and AMD both have more to gain and everything to lose from letting Nvidia dominate; Intel doesn't have to compete with Nvidia because in the datacenter they are a compliment to their commodity. Intel's "product" isn't being replaced in the datacenter, AMD and Samsung's is.

So much mental gymnastics go into making Intel's incompetence seem like a premeditated failure predicated on burning bridges with the industry. Of course they aren't going to sell silicon at-cost to Apple or OpenAI. That is called desperate stupidity, and we have the hindsight to prove that it wouldn't benefit them if they did agree to such a gambit.

Contextualize the event, though. Womanhood and motherhood are often quite strongly connected. An event celebrating and developing women should anticipate a higher percentage of the audience will be mothers with infants.

Be prepared for that, communicate with your audience in advance, have clear expectations with staff, perhaps be more permissive with infants, etc.

The context matters here.
> you can work backwards from the assumption that every one of those practices initially solved some problem.

This isn't quite right.

The true version of what you're getting at is, "at some point every practice was useful to someone", but just because someone or someones found it useful doesn't necessarily mean it solved a real problem for society overall.

E.g. men have dominated over women in almost all pre-modern societies (and even in modern ones there's often a good ways to go), because that was useful and advantageous to men, who also had the physical strength to enforce such a social division. It was never truly about "solving a problem".

Sure, in some cases religious practices may have helped with a problem, but in other cases (e.g. indulgences) they were just about gathering or retaining power for the religion, which was certainly useful for the leaders within said religion.
I think the callousness towards parents is earned. I have seen children destroy gardens and when parents are told they show no remorse or attempts to reprimand the child. You are told to calm down they are just being kids. Of course this leads to people seeing children as a nuisance.
Introducing them has made people money. Those people will seek to introduce them again under a different ticker.

The main inefficiency in GameStop is creating information and will to buy that runs completely orthogonal to the actual valuation of the stock. Like snake charmers, Roaring Kitty etc use memes and bots online to drum "bagholders" into a fervor, thinking they are righteously sticking it to some nebulous man by buying a stock that is worthless.
Works ok for me. But the other link is still better, as it has the picture while this one doesn’t.
> How has the situation been improved relative to previous proposals that were judged unfruitful in an era when first stage landings didn't exist?

Those proposals did not use a sled and aerodynamic lift on the way up, lighter and stronger composite materials are available and rocket engines have evolved.

> Far more efficient at fighting gravity?

Ask anyone who's compared how high and fast you can get a fixed-wing drone powered by one engine and a quad-copter powered by four.

A serious assessment of this design would require detailed specifications and a fair amount of calculation. I am not inclined to summarily dismiss it based on generic hand-waving.

It needs three choices, since many of the colors are blue-green and the "this is blue" or "this is green" is essentially a random choice.

Actually this observation invalidates the whole setup. Because even though you could define /bin/sh itself as:

#!/bin/busybox sh
exec /bin/busybox sh

Then you still cannot use #!/bin/sh in any other shell scripts, because for historical reasons the interpreter of a script is not allowed to be another interpreted script, it must be a binary. So /bin/sh pretty much has to be an actual binary.

Sorry, but that sounds dangerous. Attributing mental disorders to external evil sources isn't healthy.
I really agree, religion unlocks a lot for a lot of people. I have transcendental beliefs that have been of service. Acknowledging that, some organisations use others conscience against them to control them. Some make the decision selfishly, some think the ends justify the means, and some just do it without being aware of it. There’s a whole spectrum of benefit, some benefit their members a lot and I think we can safely say that most cults do not in the end benefit their members.

> It's probably a good idea to not have it settable to other values by the invoking process, as is generally the case on Windows (ignoring its Posix subsystem here).

Well there is an use case that I sometime use for setting argv[0]. Consider you want to run yourself as a subprocess. Why you want to do that? There are plenty of reasons, but in general the thing is that doing things after a fork() is not safe under some circumstances and thus sometimes you also want to exec yourself.

A technique is to then call yourself using another name in argv[0] for then in the main take a different flow from the normal command line parting, without adding an argument that the user can specify if it know that it exists.

Yes, I know that there are a ton of other methods to do the same thing (perhaps an environment variable, for example), but I find the method of argv[0] quite nice and simple to be fair.
This is besides the point because environmentalists (who were carped at above) tend to seek to reduce the amount of trash that needs to be shipped off to somewhere.
I was going to say it'd be easier to have a single script, eg

#!/bin/sh
busybox $0 $@

and then every command required could just be a hardlink to the same script, instead of replicating it over and over again for hardcoded command names.

Then I realised the whole point is to posit a world where $0 doesn't exist, and we're not allowed to be clever about it.
You could also look for MVP-type projects, work for three months, and then take a three month break. Although I feel like that might work better for something like an phone app than the back end. I wonder if higher interest rates have put the squeeze on projects like that. Possibly indirectly, by reducing the number of worthwhile startups/projects and thereby increasing the number of available developers. Most developers will want full-time, so the companies might have enough full-timers now whereas before supply was so tight they'd take whoever they could get.

Contracting definitely benefits from being a generalist, though. If you can expand into different languages, native development, adjacent areas, etc. that will increase the number of jobs available.
There are also multiple reasons for a program to read its own executable.

- Decompressing and inflating a compressed binary block with a generic decompressor at the top (e.g. a bash or python script with a binary blob at the end)

- Checksumming its own executable (skipping the checksum string) to resist virus infection. Not bulletproof but viruses aren't usually smart enough to circumvent this
I’ve heard, shipping a lot of garbage to China was quite common until the Chinese banned it. That was economically viable because China exports so much and many container ships would otherwise return empty to China.

Ya. Query tokenizer would emit "first" and "name" for both. That'd be neat.
Do you have sources you can cite? In particular, how do we know that this isn't a selection effect, where the people who experience auditory hallucinations that don't cause problems in their lives don't tell anyone about them? I sure wouldn't, if I were in that situation.

Nope. Either it was "in a distant galaxy", or the neutrinos arrived in Ohio 170K years later. Both can't be true.

I am honestly skeptical of this claim. This seems to be the go-to excuse for scapegoating: just claim the individual was in possession of illegal material and then no one has the right to defend her!

"To me, that's ridiculous.

I realized then that the monster of systemic barriers to entrepreneurs who are also moms is bigger than I ever realized." - FTA

Peanut | Founding Software Engineer (Mobile, Fullstack) | REMOTE | Full-Time | >= $70-110k + 1-2% equity

We're bringing currency back to cryptocurrency. We care a LOT about UX and are at the forefront of chain and account abstraction. We’re making crypto actually usable as a currency and not just a degenerate gambling fiesta.

We are VC-funded ($1.4m pre-seed), advised by heavyweights like ex-venmo CTO, and founded by Harvard alum. There are two official roles, but we welcome conversations with anyone interested in joining the team.

Please fill out the form at https://peanut.to/jobs and list HN as the place you learned about us.
Couple issues with that comparison: 15k seemed low given I drive ~10k a year and I don't work a job that uses my car, so I checked refuse trucks drive on average more like 25k miles per year and there are many servicing a single dump. Also most garbage trucks are still diesel so you've got to 5-10x that power usage number and there's all the vehicles used to compact and move the trash once it reaches the landfill which are also (currently) pretty exclusively diesel powered (think bulldozers and soil compactors with some excavators thrown in).

OP here and I work for Prisma (as COO).

Your criticism re: old issues is spot on. However, fixing backlogged issues is easier said than done. Any OSS project with more than 350k monthly active devs won’t be able to fix everything unless they throw an army of engineers at it.

Another thing we're not very good at is sharing with our community the reasoning behind how we prioritize bug fixes. This opacity leads to confusion and we're going to fix it.

Re: the aforementioned fruitful path, I am assuming you're referring to our recently announced feature "TypedSQL," which incidentally was one of those most-requested features.

While the commercial products are a focus, we're still headstrong on delivering ongoing value to our OSS users. As evidence, we've religiously released a new version every 3 weeks for the past (almost) 4 years. A quick glance at our changelog (https://prisma.io/changelog) should reassure you that the OSS ORM product is, and will always be, top of mind.

I really appreciate the feedback though. Keep it coming!
