Creative software and macbooks are complement goods. i.e., demand for macbooks goes up when creative software gets cheaper, and vice versa.

This is a case where mergers are expected to make prices go down. As opposed for substitute goods, like macbooks and dell laptops, where a merger would probably make prices go up.

In both cases you have a prisoner's dilemma between vendors - with vendors producing substitute goods, the "defect" option is to lower your price. (This makes you more money, but costs the other vendor more money than you made.) For substitute goods, the "defect" option is to raise your price (this makes you more money, but costs the other vendor more money than you made.)

So mergers of vendors of substitute goods are usually bad, and tend to be blocked, because once merged the companies can coordinate to raise prices. But of complement goods are usually good, and tend to not be blocked, because once merged the companies can coordinate to lower prices.

All this to say that I think this move makes sense for apple regardless of whether their relationship with Adobe has soured.

Wouldn't linking salaries to inflation be a feedback loop? Inflation is driven by various factors, but if for example like in 2020 the government of the biggest economy in the world decided to print billions of dollars to have "more money", something is gonna have to give. And in practice that something was everyone's money is now worth less.
Wait, what? They rasterize a triangle by checking for each pixel if it intersects with the triangle? Where are the days when you learned Bresenham [1] or fixed-point arithmetic [2] to determine the extents of a scan line, and then fill it with an ordinary for-loop?

Also it's be nice to see a feature where you can 'queue up' to speak 1:1 with the speaker after the general discussion. This could be like a lottery where whoever gets in line gets paired with the speaker for 60 seconds of chat and then it goes to the next person.
I switched from the same model three months ago. It’s night and day. I used to have my fan spinning all day; with the new one, I only heard it once since buying it, even in perfect silence. Things that used to slow down, now run in parallel. The battery keeps up with more than a full work day programming, comfortably.
Okay, I think I get it… I thought one would/could define orthogonality of polynomials in terms of an inner product equivalent to the familiar K^n dot product, ie. sum of pairwise products of equal-degree coefficients, but I guess polynomials just don’t work that way. I can’t say I understand the hows and whys of the "correct" inner product given by Wikipedia :/

This seems accurate from my experience. An example of a similar situation here in Seattle is the minimum wage increase we've instituted. It resulted in a minor shift in working hours and prices but not a radical shock to the system and largely an improvement to the people that were working minimum wage jobs.

Usually the confounding factor is how that minimum wage increase is absorbed. There's been a trend in my opinion for the rent seeking class (apartments, landowners, etc) to raise the cost of rent disproportionately knowing that they can siphon more money off the top. It results in both squeezing local businesses and preventing the wages from enriching the local economy. I don't know if Germany has a similar problem and would be curious to hear how they handle such things.

My cli bogeys are pdftk and imagemagick - both wonderful achievements, but I rarely need them, and they get "paged out". So there I am using web services that probably are just a GUI with pdftk and imagemagick underneath ...

Ah, also a Notepad++ user. Happy 21, time to buy it a (another, shh) beer.
It's more complicated than that because you pay much high taxes in Germany, so you need higher wages to cover those taxes.

A fair comparison would be after tax money, and then you can factor in those things you said.

But even that is hard, because VAT makes good more expensive, so now you really need to compare cost of living.
I think I'm one of the last people using WSL1. I think everyone jumped to WSL2 because 2 is bigger than 1, but they're really different things. WSL1 lets me keep my files on the Windows side, let's my IDE (PHP storm) remain performant with no Linux to Windows file system overhead, but I still get to use all the Linux CLI tools. I still pay some overhead for that, but it's better than doing it the other way around and paying for every keystroke in my IDE.

What I really want is a damn good Terminal/Emulator for Windows AND Linux that can run the same set of tools with zero overhead. Boggles my mind that everything is slow and janky to this day.
Under abortion bans, more women are getting abortions. Under abortion bans, maternal mortality rates have gone up. The infant mortality rate is up in states with abortion bans too.

So even if you consider the flushing of an embryo or fetus to be murder, the abortion bans have not (and likely will not) help the numbers.
I appreciate your effort but that isn't the article in the link which is published by the National review.
Ah interesting, hadn't seen Photomator before. That does appear to indeed bring a more Aperture type experience to the editing process.
This is kind of a sidebar, but the "growth mindset" is the kind of just-so story that appeals to people. It makes sense. If you are doing well, you can congratulate yourself on your growth mindset, and if you aren't, it makes you feel like there are steps you can take to get there.

The problem is that it is easy to construct stories like that that aren't true. Arguably, until there is strong confirmation of the research, we should assume it is all bullshit. But that is not what the press (or others) do. It is an infectious meme.
Yes, it's a feedback loop, but it's a highly damped feedback loop.
I don't think it works that way either, though. AIUI the problem is that QT5 apps don't automatically work on QT6 (otherwise this would be a non-problem; Ubuntu would just ship QT6 alone and everything would work). But none of the shell examples given have that problem; AFAIK virtually every script that worked on BASH 4 works on BASH 5 - as does virtually every script that worked on any other older version of BASH, and every script that targets plain sh. If you wanted to make that argument, the ncurses suggestion by https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42020272 is probably more compelling than the shell itself, which is amazingly backwards compatible.
So isn't that an argument against a federal minimum wage increase, which ignores the cost of living locally just about everywhere?

If the minimum wage should be the same in Kentucky as it is in California, shouldn't it also be the same in Germany as it is in California?

Pre-growth mindset MS was toxic AF. Now it is less toxic.

You cannot run a cloud business with long term success without a growth mindset. You cannot finger point, blame, and fire, for outages. Instead you need a cult like practice of everyone sitting around a table and figuring out wtf went wrong along the entire chain of events, and that includes a culture that says "hey these other components are lacking early alerts" without being seen as finger pointing or trying to pass blame around.
Plans for hoping...

That is no plan at all, it is wait and see.

Why is it that comments complaining about flaky AI responses never share the chat link, and then invariably someone replies with examples of the AI answering correctly but also fail to share the chat link?
Oh my god, really? That was my first editor like 20 years ago. Haven't used it since then I think.
I've seen gomponents, but it seems very verbose. Although I guess that's what you're stuck with if you're doing it within Go.
Ask HN: Proofpoint is blocking our emails. Any recourse?
We have a valid email domain that is battletested and used for sending out notifications, invoices, upgrade notices to customers. Our emails goes through all systems and ESP such as Google, Outlook, Proton etc.

However, anytime a customer uses proofpoint they block our emails. I have asked for whitelisting but no reply from them for months. We have SPF, DKIM, DMARC records set. This domain is 2 year old. We run our own email infrastructure – probably only sin we committed so far.

It seems that these companies - Proofpoint, Microsoft, Google - make arbitrary and undisclosed rules for email delivery. Why can't FTC go after these companies and fine them. Microsoft is one of the worst offender. Unless you are a customer of Microsoft and use one of their system, you will face delivery problems.

Either way, does anyone know what can we do for getting past Proofpoint block?
I sometimes wonder if it's inevitable for large companies to end up in a kind of cult. Human beings are religious by nature, despite the denial from modern and Enlightenment theories that derive the nature of humans as reason.

After reading books like Sapiens (Harari) and other evolutionary psychology books, it seems humans will always form religious frameworks in order to collaborate in large numbers. Combine this with the void left behind by the increasing secularization of civilization, and you get a fertile ground for any large organization to sprout their own religion, which in its initial form looks like a cult.

Nietzsche has been proven right in this regard, getting rid of God (or monotheism) just gave way to a void that is now being filled in by pantheism and paganism, in which civilizations become fragmented by a multiplicity of gods. Perhaps the solution is to have explicit religions that are designed with explicit goals in mind... however I feel this is what the ancient civilizations have already done, and the oldest religions that have survived the "natural selection" of history are the ones that have been perfected and do not lead to a cult-like dystopia.
> Again, this wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so deeply embedded in Microsoft's culture. If you search for the term “Growth Mindset” on the Microsoft subreddit, you’ll find countless posts from people who have applied for jobs and internships asking for interview advice, and being told to demonstrate they have a growth mindset to the interviewer. Those who drink the Kool Aid in advance are, it seems, at an advantage.

This reminds me so much of the experience I had at an early stage start up. I didn't have a degree, and I needed the job, so I really made it clear I would buy in %100.

I am not sure I would want to join a 40+ year old company that still demands that level of commitment.
In Seattle minimum wage is $19.97, which will go to almost $21 in January.

It definitely isn't a replacement for VS Code for actual programming. However, I'd certainly use npp for a lot more than viewing large files and quick editing if it had better LSP, remote filesystem, terminal support, etc.

As it stands, I use it frequently - just not for code.
It's an argument against setting the federal minimum wage at NYC or LA's optimal setting, but not against ever raising it anywhere.

There's no place in America where $7.25/hour and not accounting for inflation makes much sense.

I've grown rather fond of bash in my current role. I work mainly on developer tools and CI pipelines, both of which mean gluing together lots of different CLI tools. When it comes to this kind of work I think it is quite hard to beat the expressiveness of shell scripting. I say this as a former hater of bash and its syntax.

Much credit to copilot and shellcheck, which have made complex bash ever the more write-only language than it already was.
I can only guess, but it might be a requirement to have the machine hosted by a cloud platform.
> TIL: California has a higher minimum hourly wage ($16) than Germany (€12.41).

State is currently $15 min, but localities can have their own mins. I think SF and SJ are $18ish now (don’t quote me on that).

… but there is currently a ballot initiative to raise the state min to $18.

… and “fast food workers”, which also includes pizza folks, are already at $20 min.
Incidentally, this is how I am with alcohol (Drinking a single beer or two makes my unhappy. I'm ok with not drinking, but when I start I usually drink a lot). I don't have this problem with sweets, though.

Sitch App | NYC-area | Full-time | Python + Flutter

Sitch is a new type of concierge dating app. We're using AI + Humans to ask you questions, get to know you, then help you find love. We're a concierge matchmaker but we don't call ourselves that and we don't charge the obscene prices that matchmakers charge.

One of our metrics is how little time you spend in the app. We're explicitly opposed to the dopamine-fueled mini-game doomswiping of 'traditional' dating apps which cynically monetizes desperation.

* We're top-tier VC funded, small team of 2 cofounders (Snap, Bumble) and 3 engineers, based in NYC.

* Stack is Django, OpenAI, Flutter.

* Looking more for a backend engineer but if you're an all-arounder and can also work on client code (or want to learn) that would be ideal.

* 2 days/week in person, in Brooklyn, and the rest remote is our ideal working environment, so we're strongly preferring the NYC area.

See our "corporate" (hah!) site at https://unusual.inc, and our app site at https://joinsitch.com, and feel free to send me a note at chad@unusual.inc
