yes, but... if you invested 1K USD in gold and 1K USDin a SP500 index fund in 1971, both of those investments would be worth the same dollar amount today.

perhaps that's an artifact of gold's recent spike in price, but perhaps the SP500 is also in the middle of a giant bubble.

There's no downside to having your company kick off the green card process now; the process could move fast enough to allow you to stay past July 2026 (although this isn't likely). The standard options are the O-1 (which should be evaluated soon because you have time to build up your O-1 profile now if you need to) and full-time F-1 CPT through a graduate program.
This might sounds bizarre to our friends in the US, but there is no first amendment provision in most places.

Until we know the details it seems they have something, warrants against journalists in the UK aren't just issued from a cozy judge. They do have a lot of leeway.

Insighting hate and or violence in the UK is a crime. As terrible as it sounds, it's not the US. I'm curious to see what will come of this, but as this is the first reading I'm heading it from and it's from the electronicintifada themselves I would wait to hear more.
The economics really don’t work out.

Stick a relay at the midpoint between earth / Voyager 1 so it gets a signal that’s 4x as strong. Unfortunately that’s still really weak so it needs a huge dish, and orbital mechanics means it can’s stay in that position.

We’re better off sending out probes that send stronger signals and just build huge ground based systems. At least until space based manufacturing becomes practical.

PS: Where relays make sense is for probes on the surface of a planet etc communicating with something in orbit which then sends signals to earth.
If you know them really well, voice is more than enough.

Video gets more info about how certain, cooperative, serious, how well listening etc people on the other side are. Also the relationship (boss/right hand etc) between speaker and non speaker on the other side gets more obvious.
Ah, the Cloudflare free plan does not automatically turn these on. I know since I use it for some small things and don't have these on. I wouldn't use User-Agent filtering because those are spoofable. But putting feeds on a separate URL is probably a good idea. Right now the feed is actually generated on request for these sites, so caching it is probably a good idea anyway. I can just rudimentarily do that by periodically generating and copying it over.
Do you foresee any improvements in PERM processing times as well as the whole process?

Most people don't care about that (if you look at it the other way around running macOS on PCs these days isn't that easy either and it will only get worse). Just don't get a Mac if you want to use Linux?

Docker is pretty painful certainly, though. Windows seem like a much better option if need to develop for Linux.

Unit tests are valuable

But they are also pricy

I am interested in how people prevent unit tests becoming a maintenance burden over time.

I have seen so many projects with legacy failing tests. Any proposal to invest time and money cleaning them up dies on the alter of investing limited resources in developing features that make money
That stood out to me too! It's a fun-sounding word. I googled it prepared to learn something new, only to get one hit - this article.
Hope it's not realted to ARM vs Qualcomm legal dispute
That's funny, since I wouldn't code at a place that mandates unit tests. Sure, they have a very minor role, in very specific cases, but I'd say 90% of projects can get 90% of the benefits by writing only integration tests with 90% coverage. If you'd like a more in-depth discussion of why integration testing is better: https://kentcdodds.com/blog/write-tests
This reeks of "just following orders", combined with a healthy those dehumanising others.

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/571A-97DA-70E9-FF...

> Q: Can I use bans in other games to block users from playing in my game?

> A: No. VAC and Game bans should only prevent the user from playing on VAC secured servers in the game they received a ban in. A permanent ban should only be issued for your game if the user was caught cheating in your game.

https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/webapi/ICheatReportingSer...

It's complicated. Valve has conflicting guidance on this. What is Valve's actual position? The 13 year olds who cheat also buy IAP. In their opinion, if there are a lot of cheaters, sell pay to win items.

Otherwise, the consensus is hellbanning, meaning putting all the cheaters together in a server, and VAC queries are used to achieve that.
The only fix for that is discipline. You can't automate away quality. The best people/teams understand that and make good docs a feature requirement, not an afterthought.

My favorite example is Stripe. They've never skimped on docs and you can tell they've made it a core competency requirement for their team.

It surprises me how many people in sales, marketing and other external facing roles don't optimize their AV setup.

Honestly I'm sort of surprised that there isn't training about this given how much sales training people go through. Presentation is HUGE. A good mic, a proper camera, and even just minor consideration for lighting make anyone so much more credible, and pleasant to talk to.
Should I even bother asking why there isn't some kind of Board of Directors at WP?

They could act as a check against one person going absolutely insane and destroying a company and hundreds of jobs in the process. (except in obvious cases like Musk or Zuckerberg of course, where they basically run everything and the board never pushes back)

Where does this esoteric Pascal operator come from? (2017)
Oh my bad, definitely movable then, thought it was a wall.

According to wikipedia:

"The codex (pl.: codices /ˈkoʊdɪsiːz/)[1] was the historical ancestor format of the modern book. Technically the vast majority of modern books use the codex format of a stack of pages bound at one edge, along the side of the text. But the term "codex" is now reserved for older manuscript books, which mostly used sheets of vellum, parchment, or papyrus, rather than paper.[2]
"

I would say a codex is a book yes, you are right there. The defining characteristic for me is the binding method, the flippable pages and the bookiness factor of the book.

That said, unbound scrolls that are scrolled into scrolls of scroll are definitely scrolls and not books.

So 2 to 1, gg.

> a rebranding for micromanaging, top-down leaders

And why is that a problem? I understand the connotation of "micromanaging". It's just that in the context of this discussion, it really depends on what we mean by "micromanaging". The CEO of Scale AI has a better interpretation: micromanaging is just managing. So, micromanaging will be bad if such managing is counter productive, otherwise it is good. For positive examples, I'd say Steve Job's "micromanaging" of product details is amazing (he wants to to have elegance inside a computer case. How micromanaging is that!). Jeff Bezos' micromanaging on company culture is also amazing - he even dictates on how every team should conduct meetings and he forces how every team manages service access. How micromanaging is that!

On a personal level, I'd always crave for a leader who can frequently and correctly tell me how wrong I am or how much better I can do things. That'll be a hell of a learning experience.
PRISM covered communications through U.S. company’s servers. It was not a magic back door giving them access to your device’s local data, and even if you did believe that it was the answer would be not using a phone. A major intelligence agency does not need you to have a Google account so they can spy on you.
Is there something problematic you think about the style? It's a genuine question.

I wrote a book, and when I created my newsletter, I wanted to have a shift in terms of style because, on the Internet, people don't have time. You can't write a post the same way you write a book. So, I'm following some principles taken here and there. But happy to hear if you have some feedback about the style itself :)
Isn't the fact that people use mac despite all that testament to the fact that there's a good reason they're doing so? Like it or not, Apple hardware is top-notch, it integrates well with the software, and it's hard to get both anywhere else.
Not directly on point, but I've gotten pretty ruthless about protecting myself from some pretty serious zoom (or teams, in our case) abuse. I was in a meeting 3 days ago and the person leading it said "Ok everybody, let's hop on camera so we can see all your shining faces!" More harmless than it reads written down like this.

My response was, verbally to the whole group, "Not for me. I've been through two hurricanes in two weeks and haven't had power in 5 days, so I'm going to skip the camera. Thanks!" I'll talk all day long, but nobody has any claim to my face or to making me perform. Until the pandemic we lived in a world where vast amounts of business happened on the phone, and while I tend to think video-based tools have presented HUGE opportunities to improve collaboration across diverse geographies, they've also created opportunities for abuse from people who want petty control, the first of which is ensuring they can call you out for looking out the window, looking at your phone, etc. Pound sand.
Of course you should consult with an attorney before applying but I don't see any issue with any of these impacting your ability to get a green card

For exporting a library of books you already own/read there aren't going to be many titles that have any improvements in KFX that you would care about. It certainly doesn't hurt to just try it and see what if any of the titles in the library have issues with being deDRMd.

I second buying from Google Play. Outside of a period of time last year where they had a bug that prevented exporting many titles in their catalog (some error in their backend service), I have never had an issue with purchases from there. I will happily continue getting my books from sources that allow true ownership after purchase regardless of any touted benefits Amazon adds to future DRM schemes, just need the words on the page.
You can see curtains because photons are escaping out of the window. A white curtain reflects more sunlight outside than your room would. Similarly, a hot curtain really does emit more infrared radiation outside than your air conditioned room would. It’s not even just radiation, warming the window itself causes it to reject more heat via conduction and convection with outside air. Not all curtains are equally effective, but in full sun we can be talking a 30+ degree temperature difference between the room and a good curtain.

Shutters can effectively block sunlight, but they also emit IR radiation 24 hours a day based on their temperature. If it’s hot outside, thick reflective curtains really can save more energy across a given day than shutters though they also work better together at some point you might as wall just seal up the window.
Just cleaning the vaulted ceilings and all the high windows is a big difference that can be seen in the pictures. Multiple large windows are also a contraindication for it being a storm shelter.
I think the ICJ is better placed to decide what is or what isn't a genocide than random people on HN, and the fact that they're still deliberating means that you can't say it's "nonsensical, ignorant, offensive". If it were that, the case would have been thrown out a long time ago.

This is what all technical tutorials should look like. Well-composed and generally free of grammatical errors, spends just the right amount of time explaining each new topic as it is introduced, comes with full code samples, and includes visual samples of what the code does. Also, lengthy enough to treat the material in depth, while still being sufficiently self-contained that I can follow along -- without having read part 1 and without more than a few months of Common Lisp under my belt from a couple years back (tho I've done a decent amount of Clojure and Emacs Lisp.)

You actually can with discord and with certain matrix clients as well.

That would discount IRC from being part of the web though.
First of all, the thing is not a shroud, it's essentially a 14th century painting, created as one of a myriad fake relics for money and fame.

Second of all, if you believed it were a real ancient shroud, you would have to explain how the image on it was produced. Corpses don't leave images on shrouds, and even if it were true that everyone in ancient Israel were wrapped in a linen shroud when they died, people certainly didn't paint those shrouds.
Rail lines go all over the country but they check when you cross even if that’s not your destination. I would expect the same to be true here: e.g. an airship leaving Mexico would go to, say, Riverside via a customs stop in San Diego or Calexico.
We use a Doordash voucher as an incentive to go hybrid and come into the office once or twice a week. Seems silly to spend all that time commuting and then you go leave for another 60-90 minutes to get lunch.

At some point it will disappear and go to a hard RTO, but for now it kind of works.

I've seen others ask how is buying toothpaste and wine is possible on a voucher, Doordash definitely does this "add groceries in the next 15 minutes!" thing once you've ordered lunch.

Curious how they protect private keys for transit encryption. I'd imagine all their edge locations need to be able to decrypt traffic and therefor need a way to fetch corresponding private keys for everything they're proxying.

If physical theft is a concern, how do they prevent someone from hijacking the key distribution process?
My Hoffman Process Experience
I think what has happened (and I’ve been hit by this in the past, it is very annoying) is: You included the bit in the beginning about being generally skeptical of AI art in some forms to signal that you are somebody with a nuanced opinion, who believes that the thing can be bad at times. Then, you go on to describe that this isn’t one of those times.

Unfortunately, this gets you some comments that want to disagree with that less specific, initial aside. I’m not sure if people just read the first paragraph and respond entirely based on that, without realizing that it is not the main point of the rest of the post. Or if they just don’t want to give up the ground that you did in the beginning, at all, so they knowingly ignore the rest of the post.

I don’t really know what to do about this sort of thing. It seems like… generally nice to be able to start a post with something that says basically: look I’ve thought about this and it isn’t an uninformed reflexive take. But I’m trying to give up on that sort of thing. It isn’t really logically part of the argument, and it ends with people arguing in a direction that I’m not really interested in defending against in this context.

But it does seem a shame, because, while it isn’t logically part of the argument, it is nice to know beforehand how firm somebody’s stance is.

These look like schools with lots of space and lots of funding.

Meanwhile, where I live, schools don't even have fields, gyms, or kitchens because there's not enough room on the lot. Urban vs suburban design constraints are just really large.

I'd like to see more exploration of school designs for urban environments.

Can we make the schools taller? Does that need better stairways and maybe escalators? What are the implications? Older kids on the upper floors so the littler ones don't have to climb stairs as much?

Can we put fields on the roof?

How can we be more efficient with services? Can we combine schools and public libraries? Rec centers?

Growing up in a good suburbanish school system myself, it's pretty depressing to see what passes for elementary schools in some cities.
It's an immense feature. Illustrators love it. Of course they're enthusiastic about it. Man, there's nothing like this. You draw 2D vector art and then rotate it in 3D space.
