My evidence is observing how things have shaken out when big shifts like this have occurred in the past. The ones shut out of their careers are often just hosed. Their skills are no longer marketable, so what are they supposed to do? For some, retraining and/or relocating is an option, but not for everybody.

All I'm saying is that while the job market may expand in the long run on average, it shrinks in the short run and in the longer run in certain areas. It's a mistake to ignore the suffering that this causes. If you're hungry, you can't pay rent, you can't pay medical bills, etc., then the "long run" doesn't matter so much.

When I worked as a SE, we'd often categorized sales reps as 'hunters' vs 'farmers' when it comes to managing the accounts. The hunters would hit their numbers, collect their bonus, move on, and leave the account in shambles for us to try and assist the new rep in recovering. This is the first time I've noticed that attitude in the company leadership. My heart goes out to our (now) Broadcom rep, as I can tell they are putting the squeeze to all contracts, to their mid-term detriment.
Kagi has under 35k paying members, about half of which are on HN.

I wouldn't say it's either of the two, but more that the Venn diagram of people willing to pay for search and HN users looks like a Mastercard logo.

As a jaded 40+ year old developer this got me choked up.

I remember that optimistic view we all had of technology in our youth.

For me the optimism was a little earlier than 2012 so maybe it goes hand in hand with being young and less experienced (jaded?).

I agree with some of the other commenters that a corporate structure makes altruistic goals like these impossible.

Only Wikipedia and The Internet Archive for me carry that feeling of goodwill still. I think OpenAI going from non-profit to profit will similarly erode the product as market incentives push it further away from what benefits the user most.

Perhaps we need a corporate structure between a non-profit and a for-profit.
I'm in small Devops team and people are pissed off. Thankfully Proxmox works just as well for us (some would say better). Even a large-scale migration seems scriptable to me.
While simple APIs can be nice, I can't help but feel that this is too simplistic. It's paid per request and there's no pagination, does that mean I'm incentivized to just use whatever the largest possible value is for the limit parameter? As is, this feels half baked.

> Are they as high up that it could start orbiting?

1. No

2. Orbit is more about speed than height. You have to get high enough that the atmosphere doesn't aggressively degrade your velocity, but the key is to hit ~8km/s, although that number changes depending on your altitude.

edit: 30km/s -> 8km/s
> Jumping on you, bleeding, having a nightmare, making possibly-chocking-sounds, running away with your pills, vomiting on the floor, etc. will definitely take priority over whatever you thought you were going to do after waking up.

No, you're just desperately hoping to imagine a scenario that might make it difficult to take a pill with a one-minute take-it-now-or-die window. You're crazy, and you should try to refrain from arguing like that.

The only one of the things you mentioned that could even take priority over a scheduled pill is choking, though you should know that choking doesn't make a sound -- the whole problem with choking is that it blocks airflow -- so if the kid is making sounds, they're not choking. If your kid runs away with your pills, first, that implies that you keep them somewhere your kid can get them (?!), and second, catch them and take the pills back.

Most of what you mentioned is random nonsense that wouldn't even interfere with you. If a little kid jumps into you while you're swallowing a pill, you can just... keep swallowing. If they throw up on the floor, there's nothing time-sensitive about that in any way.

> I feel you don't have young kids then.

I don't, but then again, I have a brother and sister who were born when I was 16. I seem to have more relevant experience than you do. Learn to tell the difference between an emergency and a nothing.
That is something else to introduce the author to. The author clearly thinks there are 12 notes to an octave, which is by far the most common tuning system but it isn't the only one.

> What are the advantages of trying to use fake c++ instead of actual c++ for their use case?

There are exactly none, but there was a time during the mid- to late-90s when it was hip to implement OOP frameworks on top of C (C++ only really became a realistic option once C++98 was widely supported which took a couple of years, ...also there was such an extreme OOP hype in the 90s that it is hard to believe today - EVERYTHING had to be OOP, no matter if it made sense or not).

QEMU seems to be from around the end of that era (first release apparently in 2003), and looking at the code it looks exactly as I imagined, with meta-class pointers, constructor- and destructor-functions etc... it would almost certainly be better to use a simple non-OOP C-style, but that was an 'outdated' point of view at that time (since everything had to use that new shiny OOP paradigm).

N100 are often no fan and the power brick need not be much different than the one that feeds the Pi. At the end of the day the max wattages aren't much different.

The biggest thing the Pi line gets you is good GPIO and premade hats using it (with prepackaged OS images). If you're just running standard software like a home assistant or VPN then it doesn't make much sense. Doubly so on articles about OCing it.
If every last drop of solar is being stored in a battery for later, then the system is less efficient and costlier than one where some solar was curtailed.

> I don't really know of course (and presumably nor do you) whether he was a good employee or made substantive improvements or whatever.

Yes, absolutely. I don't know anything about him outside of this article. I assume he is a good employee, or they were mostly happy with him (for the simple reason that they kept employing him). Just wrote that part to illustrate that the same facts from his own pen can be also interpreted in a negative light.

> It would have helped if he was more specific and concrete in his descriptions.

I totally agree with that.
There are only three things the UK uses Imperial units for: road signage (speed limits, distances, and vehicle dimension restrictions; and since 2016 all new dimension restriction signage has to be in dual-SI and Imperial units[1]), beer, and milk, the latter two of which are also sold in half-litre and litre measurements.

By definition anything that isn't the actual disease is a biomarker proxy for it. What actually matters is disease.

> People without detectable HIV don't develop AIDS.

An AIDS diagnosis requires the presence of HIV so your statement is a tautology (not your fault). If we rephrase to what you meant, that people without detectable HIV don't develop AIDS or any identical set of symptoms, then actually they do but when it happens it goes by a different name (ICL, idiopathic CD4 T lymphocytopenia).

ICL is what they call AIDS that appears in HIV negative people and is essentially ignored by the public health community, as it's not supposed to exist.

And doubled would be even simpler. Yes 100% is probably mostly unambiguous but I'm certainly unsure about 131%.
The phrasing "majority of all cases, especially in the developing world" implies that it's true everywhere. Even putting that aside, it's only the bizarre situation in Africa makes the statement technically true. If we interpret it in the way it was meant to be interpreted then the statement isn't really true because everywhere that has reliable data shows the opposite: men get it the most.
Can someone ELI5 if this is a huge deal (like declaring martial law would be in the west), or if this is the equivalent of a "government shutdown" when similar budget impasses occur in the US?
That makes not losing those customers more critical: if you lose one of the 50 smaller businesses, your revenue is barely affected; if you lose that 50x whale, you’re out of a job especially given how hard it is to find another one of that size.

This shows up especially in the context of hiring: for a generation, there have been a ton of people who learn VMware at businesses of all sizes and your large shop can reliably hire them. Shutting down smaller sales affects that directly and because the smaller places are going to do something else it means that the people who move up to a bigger place are going to have direct firsthand experience contradicting what the VMware sales people are saying about how risky it is not to use their software.
Over simplification can be ok but they need to provide an in depth faq after wards. I've got too many board games where the actions per turn are easy enough to understand, you get 3/4 of the way through then someone asks if this action means this token is generated again and you spend the next 20 minutes looking through the rules and the internet to find an answer.
Give me a simple step by step of a turn but also give me a huge list of faqs that we can reference during the game.
Please elaborate for those without context. Would be much appreciated.
So fad and "artistic statement" may be quite closely related. Quite possibly every popular artistic statement is a fad. The opposite is clearly not true (some fads are silly plastic toys).
Ahh yes, of course! I guess they are not high enough for geo stationary orbit?

[EDIT]: Reading the paper, it's not even that. It's using predictive methods to suss out the effects of biased enforcement.
“A 200% increase” is logically equivalent to “200% more”. Think about what it means for a number to “increase” or to be “more than” another number. How much is the “increase”? How much “more”? Unfortunately, “200% as much” is often what people mean when they say “200% more”.

(This difference became especially noticeable to me after playing^W practicing my math skills with incremental games for obscene amounts of time.)
I have been guilty of this if only in school. A class assignment could be completed in java or c and I knew c++ and c and my teammates knew c. I really wanted to do oop because I was ignorant, but none of us knew java so we did OO in c. It was horrible. I like the simplicity of c. I wish there was a zig that was immutable by default, and had a borrowchecker, but I think that road inevitably leads to a GC jitted language or to something as complicated as rust. Well almost as complicated, at least macros would still be written in the same syntax as normal runtime code.

Hi everyone,

I noticed that some of you mentioned a previous post about a similar idea, and I just wanted to clarify that I also made that post! Since then, I’ve refined the idea based on the helpful comments I received last time.

Also, I realized after posting that the best time to share on HN is around 8:30 AM Eastern Time. Since I’m in the UK, that’s 1:30 PM for me, so I’ve timed this post accordingly.

Thank you so much for all your contributions and insights. A few of you referred me to the AI calendar tool from Motion, which I think is a fantastic tool for building schedules. However, my idea focuses more on AI helping with creative suggestions or offering starting points for writing text.

I’d love to hear your thoughts or any further suggestions!

Really cool. Is the mechanism already used for other diseases? Or is this a first-of-its-kind application that'll open the door to using the mechanism for others?
The problems brought about by the lazy evaluation (laziness when you don't want it) do not require architectural rewrites. It's mostly just profiling while setting a very low stack size limit, and then discovering which part of your code triggers a stack overflow. It can be solved by adding the right amount of seq (sequences evaluation), or ! (strict patterns). Maybe you'll also change a few incorrect uses of foldl into foldr. Even if you need to change from lazy Map to strict Map the change isn't disruptive; it's just changing some import and done; all the functions work. No architectural changes needed.
Massive deal.

I once bought some disk utility software because I had a bunch of files that had accidentally been deleted that I really needed to get back (they were not on backup yet because they were recently created) and was quite happy that in addition to the 200 page exhaustive manual there was also a small booklet whose cover said in big print something like "Read this first if you bought this because you are trying to recover a disk".

That booklet was placed so that it would be the first thing you would see when you opened the box and you'd have to remove it to get to the installation floppies.
There's "verbosity as descriptive clarity", and there's verbosity as in "I already said this, why do I have to repeat myself?" Ada unfortunately still has some of the latter, otherwise I would agree.

This article reeks to high hell of the regime propaganda writing we see about domestic politics:

"Yoon — whose approval rating has dipped in recent months — has struggled to push his agenda against an opposition-controlled parliament since taking office in 2022.

Yoon’s conservative People Power Party had been locked in an impasse with the liberal opposition Democratic Party over next year’s budget bill. He has also been dismissing calls for independent investigations into scandals involving his wife and top officials, drawing quick, strong rebukes from his political rivals."

See the same patterns. You can tell which side they want to paint in a bad light and what do you know it's the conservative side.

I remember it happening to me once, I bought a house and I called a guy (turned out to be in maine) about a sauna since it had a name and a dead telephone number on it in my new house - he runs the same named sauna service on the east coast as I was looking for in the midwest and was the first result on google.

I thought it was a great time for him to bill me for a little consult, but instead he walked me through a sauna he had nothing to do with for 15 minutes on his cell phone and identified major features and areas to manage and maintain to someone who had no idea what was up.

Makes me want to move out to the east coast and build a sauna.

It's very common to measure engine thrust in ton-force because it makes it easy to compare the thrust to the weight of the rocket, which is a critical metric.

Are you really trying to tell use that Guile Scheme is more mainstream than Emacs Lisp?

Because it's relative to the original value.

Your logic: 100% means 1. A 100% increase is x * 1.

Correct logic: 100% means 1. A 100% increase is x + (x * 1)

Your 30% example is the same x + (x * 0.3)

200% is x + (x * 2) for a total of 3 times the original amount.

Same goes for 1000% being x + (x * 10) for a total of 11 times the original amount.
I don't think the 'especially' has that implication when you consider the context of the article that we're commenting on. It's true that women and girls make up the majority of people living with HIV worldwide, and this is especially true of the developing world. On the other hand, your statement that "the vast majority of all cases are in men" is simply false. Depending on the interpretation of 'vast', it's arguably not even true in much of the West. For example, in the UK, about a third of people living with HIV are women; in the US it's about a quarter.

There's nothing 'bizarre' about the situation in Africa. People's sexual behaviour is different in different societies, and this can obviously influence how STIs are distributed among different groups in the population.

The fact that rust makes it harder to write memory corruption bugs is only one of its many advantages. It’s genuinely a lot nicer and easier to use than comparable languages like C++, and I’d prefer it to that even if I didn’t care about memory corruption at all.

Also, what’s wrong with the syntax? I hear a lot that people find the syntax ugly but I never understood what’s so fundamentally different about it compared to any other mainstream Algol-based language
AI-Enabled HX-2 Kamikaze Drones Now in Production for Ukraine
Looks similar to how languages with effect systems work. (Or appear to work, I haven't actually sat down with one yet.) They don't capture the exact functions, rather captuing the capabilities of said functions, which are the important bit anyway. The distinction between `print` vs `printline` doesn't matter too much, the fact you're doing `IO` does. It seems to be largely new languages trying this, but I believe there's a few addons for languages such as Haskell as well.
