> You can express your own religious identity and explain your beliefs, but you can't call your coworkers infidels if they disagree, or try to ban them from saying things that contradict its doctrines, or insist that the organization adopt yours as its official religion.

The issue with this is that it enshrines denial of identity in the same place as religion. If a trans colleague identifies a way that you disagree with, does this give you free pass to misgender them and deny their identity? That is cruel, and you would be denying a colleague their right of self-determination. This is bullying.

I'm not saying you should be stricken down for needing time to adjust to their pronouns and chosen name; I'm saying you shouldn't be cruel to them by denying them their identity, and that such cruel behavior should not be protected in society.

I would turn this entire discourse about "wokeness" on its head, especially the discourse from the pg's and Musk's of the world, and assert that they don't actually care about the way the ideological wind is blowing; They're afraid of the collectivist nature of it.

That many less-powerful people can band together in pursuit of social justice against them, entrenched titans of capital, those capable of steering mainstream discourse, can provide a counter-argument to their power structures, is what _really_ troubles them.

This is my HN comment-to-post guesser game.

I posted this back in 2022. It didn’t get much buzz, so I’m posting it again. :)

I use it myself almost daily as a sort of Wordle alternative.

It’s written with SolidJS, and I remember spending quite a while on the animations.

I polished it primarily for mobile interaction.

Let me know how many flips you get!
Yeah, having the whole of the UK being one colour is pretty useless, given the huge disparity in wages and cost of living between central London and the rest of the UK.
I had an RM2 it was great, love that writing texture feel and how you can program it yourself too that's nice. I never subscribed with mine or even connected it to WiFi. I'm still unsure if I will get one again as I think I would just use something like a Surface Book.

My reasoning is financial mostly in the past when I was better off (like I am now) I bought so much crap like multiple G lenses (thousands $). Now I'm about avoiding being broke so just 1 type of similar device vs. multiple. I also had an iPad Pro which arguably their hardware is the best eg. built in lidar but I don't like the iOS ecosystem in an iPad so I got rid of that too.
Hey Caleb thanks for reporting this! I hadn’t noticed it in my use, but I do use a dark shade of gray for the pdf

I’ll update the colour to be a full black colour for when digests get sent out so this doesn’t happen

Edit: I just updated the fonts to just render in black for the article body so the text should be all black in your next digest

>why the Slack or HR or interview etc. data would still exist while being inaccessible to the original owner is very strange

>>>The problem is that the original DankStartup has a Google account that they create in #1, and Google goes around telling other sites (via Auth) "this is user X from company Y".

Google is telling other sites that it's bob@DankStartup.com - isn't that true? Isn't this on DankStartup to close down operations cleanly?

Then why average homeownership rate - at a same given age - is much lower for younger generations? Here's some actual data:

You have to block entire channels. I've blocked all the major news networks, all the major content farms, and all the major "garbage" snack size content channels. There's hundreds of blocked channels on my account.

I am serious. If you're thinking most of the families are chomping at the bit to repurpose tax dollars to Catholic schools you've clearly never interviewed the average homeschool family South of the Mason-Dixon. They don't even think Catholics are Christian; many would align a priest with Satan!

Most families I know who currently home school do so so to avoid vaccine requirements because germ theory/biology is a lie or because they're worried their kids will be exposed to the idea of the fossil record or that gay people exist in the world or put thoughts like dinosaurs died before humans into kids heads.

You're delusional if you think of these aren't major homeschooling points in the US. Willingly holding your nose to ignore the extreme stench of the anti-intellectualism the rest of the movement massively embodies.

This will be the outcome in an extreme majority of school districts. If anything, this recent election shows fundies vote. To them it's even more than life or death, it's eternal death to miss voting.
Remember when 80% are laid off, they are all looking. Whoever finds a job probably has found a place that is hiring more than one person. So keep in touch, they don't have anything today, but they may have leads. Sometimes it is here is a job that you are a closer fit for than me so I may as well point you at it even if it hurts my already low chances.

There is an implication here that you're letting AI commit to your codebase without reviewing it first. Or that humans are committing AI generated code but without reviewing it first. Is that the case?

Because if it is, the answer seems fairly simple: you install a proper code review process, and you don't allow shit code into your codebase.
Do you not have code reviews?

These are all problems with regular humans, too. You prevent it via code reviews.
Appreciate the honesty
I did say 1 in 2 weren't bots. I wouldn't say that's great in any measure when your goal is some form of companionship.
There are loads of highly qualified US engineers who would love to babysit enormously complicated industrial equipment for a living.

I mean, some people reacted how you describe, but the vast majority did not regardless of political leanings. Are you going to pretend that was the dominant reaction among left-leaning people just so you can be mad about it?

I wonder how hard this would be to port to Hoot, a web assembly/wasm-ified Guile Scheme.

It would be neat to have some real management APIs for the things running on a page, to be able to manage long running processes & workers.

A bit more niche than for general webapps, but systemgo comes to mind; a re-impl of some of systemd in go, specifically designed to be run on the web in Browsix.

> really good workers, that would take their job seriously, and be excellent employees, are being knocked out of the game, and the unproductive, disloyal, rapacious sharks that have learned to game the system, are taking all the fish food.

This needs to be made illegal or at the very least cost prohibitive.

It's literally why the CEO lost his life. One side is destroying the livlihood of the other and even basic levels of "please stop" are hand waved away by the needs of the shareholders and YOY hockey stick growth. For some reason "it's business" is a valid and ethically clean reason to build an economic model on top of suffering.

Honesty and dignity need to become fashionable and valuable again. Until we can wean people off the cult of personality around narcissists and psychopaths we're just carrying water for the people who do the worst abuse and will never change unless confronted at figurative or literal gunpoint.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me. If one really does believe the place to be evil (and not merely bad at what it does), then actions that cripple it financially and make it more likely to go out of business are commendable if anything.

Of course, better yet is to take it up a notch and advocate for other people to also use ad blockers and to help install and configure them. Thankfully, with how invasive ads are, the advertisers are basically doing all the agitprop; all you need to convince someone to use an adblocker today is to show them how websites look with and without it.
The scenario that we’re going to be able to fight a war with another first world power, where we will attack their infrastructure but ours will be left untouched, seems unlikely.
Not the OP but I have migrated to Hugo as well. There's a number of tools to convert to Hugo from a WordPress XML export. I used wp2hugo, IIRC: https://github.com/ashishb/wp2hugo

Dead easy. Took an afternoon to do everything, including fiddling with DNS and trying different themes, etc.

There are many layers of capabilities. Unguessable process IDs would be necessary for network capabilities. A sandboxing environment would be necessary for system or process level capabilities. It's still worth having the network security even if process security isn't there. Very few language implementations can provide that level of security.

For those who want a hardware+digital writing-focused experience, I'd recommend the Kingjim Pomera series.

https://artvsentropy.wordpress.com/2023/08/12/retro-writing-...

We bought a Pomera DM250 a few months ago while in Japan. It's really sleek and feature-rich compared to western-built writing-only devices which are limited, more expensive, and bulky. It opens up directly to a word processor; runs Linux under the hood.

You can buy them via ebay as well if you're not in Japan.

By using three drives.

RAID1 is just making literal copies, so each additional drive in a RAID1 is a self-sufficient copy. You want two drives of fault tolerance? Use three drives, so if you lose two copies you still have one left.

This is of course hideously inefficient as you scale larger, but that is not the question posed.
Things like this is why I've been telling (less tech-savvy) friends to get off the internet for 5+ years now.

To your knowledge, has it worked with anyone?

I find that the more I warn people about the invisible problems of the internet, the less they care to change. But perhaps you are more persuasive than I.
I think they question they were asking was: What is the fire upon which gasoline is being poured?

Given that, even if someone entered the intersection on yellow, they would be out of the intersection before perpendicular cars/bicycles/pedestrian signals turn green, how is it dangerous?

It seems the risk of collision is 0 as long as neither the driver nor the perpendicular cars/bicycles/pedestrians are illegally running red signals.
And the vast majority of jobs are not going to let you go down to 80% time and if you are just a commodity “coder”, you aren’t going to find lucrative staff augmentation contracts.

It’s been awhile since I had a job where I was responsible for hiring staff augmentation “consultants”. But the hourly rate that they got was shit.

On the other hand, if you have the background, skillset, network, etc to be a highly paid strategic consultant who knows how to talk to the “business” and bring in a specialized skillset, you don’t need side income to have the freedom that you want. You can charge a high enough hourly rate that you can already basically set your own schedule.

I fall into the latter category. But I choose to work full time for consulting companies because they take care of all of the headaches.
Yeah, tried that early on. Messaged 4 recruiters I thought I had food relations with. 2 didn't have any jobs. 2 were no longer working as a recruiter. Oh and one ghosted me for... Almost 2 years.
Normally to be covered under "incitement", it has to be a call for imminent unlawful behavior.
Yeah, I agree.

I first met an interactive PDF when filing a form for some state matter (I live in Italy).

I thought that it was over-engineered and dangerous.

Also, this kind of things tend to gratuitously exclude non-mainstream (especially free) software.
Problem is, those jobs in emerging markets were desirable compared to other jobs (for pay and opportunities), which helped with talent growth. These factory jobs, in comparison to other jobs, aren’t that desirable.
To be fair the Guile one is properly quoted and specifies the log file. make-forkexec-constructor is a really terrible name though, and Guile is a poor choice.
Yeah I agree with much of this.

Thing is, effectively Christianity as defined by the earliest Church councils really is "Paulism". That plus the Nicene creed and its definition of the trinity. Which all ends up being really about purging the Judaism from Christianity.

A pre-Constantine and even more extremely, pre-Paul, "Christianity" could be interesting -- though really could be considered a kind of Messianic Jewish cult, and perhaps also influenced by Mithraism, Zoroastrianism, and Roman/Hellenistic paganism.

But I mean, I don't need any of it. But in a way I'm glad I studied the scriptures as a child, and then again as an atheist from a "wtf did they tell me .. that's not actually in there lol..." POV
> But if you blame your parents or guardians' overly restrictive dogma for your outcast status then it will likely turn into lifelong resentment. Would you want your kid to resent you?

That's not a good reason. Would you let your kid take up smoking, because they'd resent you if you said no?

Also: My parents wouldn't let me drive until at least a year after my peers got their licenses. I didn't like it, but I don't harbor a "lifelong resentment."
Cue Streisand effect in 3...2...
While this is true, roads are also expensive; particularly in places like dense cities where space is at a premium. It makes perfect sense to charge road users for their consumption of of an expensive, limited resource, as long the price is fair (determined by supply and demand and not just as ploy by people who hate cars to eliminate their use).
In Germany you'd keep less then 50K of that.

Very much agreed.

I spent a decade in FAANG, then burned out and left. I’m at an early-stage startup now and couldn’t be happier.

The pressures are very different. My most stressful episodes at this startup have been related to technical problems, where I ultimately feel that I’m in control. My most stressful episodes in FAANG were ones in which I fundamentally had little to no control, but had “accountability” (i.e. blame) for the outcome.

For example, I vividly remember being on a flight to visit my ailing grandmother, and having chest pains from stress due to a parallel team throwing up a red flag weeks before the launch of a years-long project. They were a team of specialists whose work I could not personally do, and I had gotten their sign off on the project months prior. Team members changed, and a new person took issue with a fundamental aspect of the project.

I still believe there was nothing I could have reasonably done differently, as I didn’t have the domain knowledge to get sign-off in this area, and had done my due diligence of engaging the team and getting their sign off. Both my manager and their manager agreed, saying that there was nothing more I could have done, and even going so far as to say that I had been set up to fail.

However, this was of course treated as a significant failure on my part, and was held against me as the reason for lack of promotion. Way up my management chain, people were congratulated for the eventual launch of this project which was bringing in tens of millions in revenue.

That’s about the time I left.
Different development processes. New Glenn is ready to deploy a payload on its first flight. Starship as it is can’t deploy anything. It has the “pez dispenser” that is designed to release Starlink satellites one at a time, but it’s not ready.
It also makes people like me completely shut down any reasonable discourse. Focus on specific behaviors and don’t try to solve racism with more racism.
Maybe. All of them have cycles of good and bad times. I've known many Electricians and Carpenters who have been laid off for years at a time before things come back.

Yes, those provisions in Oregon and Washington are certainly doing that better.

I had literally to take three weeks off to kill a proposed development literally in my back yard. It is a wetland habitat, so enjoys some protection from good Massachusetts environmental laws, but they can be overridden by 40B. It is also a hilly and inaccessable site, and the developer was proposing to raze the whole site and put in 300+ units of warehouse-type condos. They literally did not even have sufficient access for fire trucks because of the terrain, and would have eliminated the habitat of an endangered turtle (found by required survey/trap-releasing).

We dug hard into the laws and process, and rallied hundreds of neighbors and political influencers in town to literally make the most packed planning board hearing they ever had, but a factor of at least 10.

This ended up killing the project, for now. But the absurdity of blanket zoning overrides literally destroying highly valuable (and costly) environment to literally solve nothing except transferring some of that value to developer's pockets has not left me. I understand it is still sad to replace brownstones with 10' square garden plots out back with high-rises, but I'm fine with that, since there really isn't any wildlife habitat and there is infrastructure to move the new people around the city. I'm not fine with doing it everywhere, particularly where it will destroy habitat and where there is no good people-moving infrastructure.
I have some unease about this. If it wasn't for recent advancements and hype around LLMs we'd probably get something rushed through but not with AI but crypto. The grifters will grift..
Imagine TSMC not getting US funds to bring over a Taiwanese workforce large enough to result in "Little Taiwan" being constructed in the desert.
AI is even better at writing tests than writing code. So have it write the tests first and then write the code.
I guess if they integrate this then that will be the case, I'm not sure I'm convinced that much stuff is going on in dbt cloud that I can't do in dbt core.

A comparison that's obvious to my team is the release cadence of Metabase, which we also self-host. The frequent rollout of new features in Metabase is great and gives me more confidence in the product. But I'm not in the position to decide whether to cough up the $ for the paid version so I suppose it's moot.
Indeed. Clear the intersection by continuing along a ‘forward’ path. Meaning if you’re left turn became unavailable (crash, blocked by utility workers or police, sink hole opened up, etc), continue on moving back into the correct lanes for your direction of travel.

Other traffic (who are now, or have been) waiting at a red light should be able to tell you’re in the way and wait for you to move.
