It's largely a measure of risk & reward for your time in 20s-30s. What would you rather as a bright, intelligent, driven person? Put your heart and soul into a high risk but genuinely interesting problem or get paid well to work on someone else's reasonably interesting problem.

I personally had a startup, it was a consultancy business, we got to 5 employees and I learnt a lot. It was very low risk, $0 in VC and bootstrapped from an employee stock benefit of $20k. I focussed on me working just like my employees. I had fun doing it, paid myself well, learnt a lot. I am now financially stable, no debt and own a house outright. That was always enough for my dreams.

I think before jumping in two feet first, lower your life risk. Aim for your 40s to be your own, where you can travel and live free.
Sounds cool. Anyway I can help.
To follow the tense and delivery of the previous sentence, it would have been clearest to say

The traversal is not really part of the visitor pattern. The element.accept(visitor) function together with the visitor.visitElementType(element) are the identifying part of the visitor pattern, and they completely disappear with CLOS.

A classic example is different parsers for the same set of expression types. The expressions likely form a tree, you may not need a list of expressions at all, so no mapcar.
Nah. This doesn't pass the smell test.

Throughout much of the Southeastern United States, we regularly see Summer temps above 100F (37C), and humidity up to 90%.

One of the two Marine Corps training bases is in South Carolina where temps and humidity are often near these values and sometimes crest them.

Most of Florida frequently passes these values every Summer.

While it is not comfortable, I can assure you, most humans are able to exert themselves without being killed in minutes from this kind of exposure.

He did kill people. That factored into his sentencing[0]: the multiple overdose deaths from heroin and other things Ulbricht sold/facilitated/took a cut of the proceeds of.

He killed children.

- "During the sentencing hearing, Forrest heard from the father of a 25-year-old Boston man who died of a heroin overdose and the mother of a 16-year-old Australian who took a drug designed to mimic LSD at a post-prom party and then jumped off a balcony to his death. Prosecutors said the two victims were among at least six who died after taking drugs that were bought through Silk Road."

It's squarely within the Overton window to impose extremely harsh sentences for people who sell heroin*. Most (?) Asian countries *execute* people who sell heroin. Trump himself has proposed, multiple times over the years, executing US heroin dealers[1,2]—which underscores the incredible degree of hypocrisy behind this pardon.

*(It's also within some people's Overton windows to contemplate the opposite of this, in a framework of harm minimization. I can't steelman this argument in the specific case of Ulbricht. Is it harm reduction to sell heroin? Is it harm reduction to sell fatal drugs to high-school age kids?)

For some reason, I opened this hoping to see a JS version of JPad Pro, if anyone can remember that from 25 years ago: https://archive.org/details/tucows_296665_JPad_Pro

Didn't have autocomplete, but was incredibly fast compared to Eclipse or NetBeans or other IDEs back in the day, and I used to swear by it. It also had a basic scripting language with which you could automate your work. But yes, off-topic.
I can do something similar with Microsoft Word as well.

But I also risk losing something in the process. Did I emphasize things with bold or italic in the editor? That will be lost when saving to plain text. In that sense Word and TextEdit are both correctly called rich text editors which just happen to have the ability to save to plain text.

Notepad, however, doesn't support the formatting... so you can't create something that you can't save. That's the difference.

There is essentially no relation to taxes. Everything they are cutting falls into the “Other” category in this chart:

Clearly that is not sustainable. That is laughably low rate for such city specially for German incomes. With that and say 50 sqm apartment I would expect average net income to be 1278 with the 30% income rule... Or bit more depending on what is included.

IMO, it's less about the type of test and more about your ability to get in and test as many code paths as you can of features that your users perceive as critical.

Sometimes that requires E2E tests, sometimes that's integration or unit tests.

My preference is to use something like functional core/imperative shell as much as possible, but the more external dependencies you have the more work you have to do to create an isolated environment free of IO. Not saying it isn't worthwhile, but sometimes it's easier to simply just accept that the tests will be slower due to relying on real endpoints and move on. After all, tests should support velocity, not be an end in and of themselves.
Part of the reason for this is that English didn't even exist until fairly recently (though still before modern times). But there were various Germanic languages, some of which English evolved from. There are a fair number of Spanish words of Germanic origin, some fairly old, perhaps dating from the Visigothic kingdoms in Iberia: guerra, guante, rico, orgullo, arpa, blanco, banco, frasco, yelmo, flecha, emboscar, jardín, flotar, bisonte, etc.

More specifically with respect to English, though, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Spanish_words_of_Germa... says that bote comes from Old English "bāt" via Middle English "boot" and then Old French "bot". The other words in that category include arlequín, este, norte, oeste, and sur/sud-. But when did those words make the jump into Spanish? Some, like arlequín, were fairly recent!

"Old French" was supposedly spoken up to the mid-14th century, so words that came into Spanish directly from Old French probably came in before 01375 CE. But there's always the possibility that the word lingered for a century or three in some intermediate dialect like Occitan or Catalan before making it into Spanish. Unfortunately I don't know of any resource in Spanish comparable to the OED or Etymonline to find old Spanish attestations.

Hey HackerNews! I've previously posted about a job search app I built that gathers listings from company websites. Well its now on ProductHunt for anyone to vote on.

There is a 7-day free trial there (promo code: PH1WEEK) if anyone is interested. Otherwise it is a small monthly fee (just FYI)

A few stats w the app:
- 230k+ total open roles (mostly tech)
- 60k remote jobs
- 20-25% of those listings are "unlisted" (not found on other job boards)

Some job counts by dev skills:
- 761 Rust
- 780 Perl
- 886 C++
- 1165 Kotlin
- 1222 Golang

Quite a few from an economic perspective. Like I said they have their own style of colonialism. To think they are some peaceful loving nation is foolish. Maybe in the last 10 years China have had the military equipment capable of handling an offensive. They have been smart and done all their dealings via money. Without going too far in whataboutism, I simply find it ridiculous to classify China as a warm fuzzy nation with their long list of human rights issues. That does not mean America is peaceful and loving, simply that perhaps the two countries are not so different in net.

so what? Coalition-building is common in the rest of the democratic world. This is, in my view, a similar thing.
> To be honest, the fact that it's from the Heritage foundation and published in a very conservative journal of law and politics give it a double flavor of polemic rather than scholarship

I’ll respond to your other point, but 90% of legal academia thinks “emanations from penumbras” is constitutional law. They’re wingnuts and kooks too. Nobody has the color of authority here. We gotta reconstruct the correct answer from first principles.
and if a store was selling broken bottles as weapons that would probably face some legal action
But who will do that other way of optimally allocating?

To take a simple extreme edge case, let's imagine that there's a business that requires 500k to truly flourish, but if it gets that 500k, it will become $10B company within 5 years. If it doesn't get the 500k it will likely fail.

Only 1 person has noticed and believes that this business would have that potential. And let's say they either have 500k or they manage to convince others to get the 500k, how much of that $10B would they deserve?

Local-only memory (say readable only from a certain CPU security ring
and securely erasable in an atomic operation) is a useful tool for
methods such as you describe. What I'm shooting at is private memory
under cryptographic control of a remote networked entity. I should
more properly have said "remotely secured enclave" or something like
that.

I think in this area it's hard to be precise amidst confusion about
who does the encryption, who generates and keeps the private keys, and
what power that affords them.

> The problem is, prices didn't fall (mostly due to corporate greed - corporate profits exploded in comparison with inflation [1])

Sure, but again this is a political problem. I don't the WH was promising prices would fall; I think the Fed was saying they'd get inflation back to 2% while also balancing their employment mandate. People may have expected prices to go down, but again that's a political problem.

Full agree on the greed thing though, and that would have been an easy out for the WH: somehow publicly punish gougers.

> and many people are worse off than they were prior to the pandemic, even after some of them got wage increases that in many cases didn't even come close to matching inflation.

I'm parroting here, but didn't wage gains outpace inflation? Do you have different data? Are there other ways in which people are worse off (there might be)? My current understanding is that inflation wasn't a big deal, wage gains outpaced it, but Republicans demagogued it.

> The Biden administration could have done more to combat this but didn't, and Trump campaigned on that failure

Agree! The Biden admin was uniquely bad at politics.

> The real issue is that the US desperately lacks any viable third party option which means, combined with the radicalization of the Republicans over the last decades, that there is no way of holding the Democrats accountable without electing ever more utter crazies.

You lost me here. I'm a fan of ranked choice voting and getting money out of politics, but any third party would be subject to all the corrupting dynamics affecting the other two.
Then it's a jumping off point to talk about economics, perfect date material.
Sometimes people just like to build stuff for the sake of it.
I think there's a more nuanced version of this: China respects local laws and culture _outside of what they view as China_ more than the US does. It's also worth noting that China's policy in Xinjiang is somewhat narrowly targeted at religion, and less other aspects like cuisine or clothing. That said, religion is nigh impossible to separate from the broader idea of culture in much of the world.
The problem is that if the law is arguably unethical or arbitrary, you're going to catch more "good" people in it. My comment was not so much a defense of Ross as it was an accusation against unjust drug law.

Imagine a hypothetical law which arrests anyone who trades in red shirts. Someone comes along and doesn't see what the big deal is and decides to trade in these shirts on the black market. Lives are saved because it is impossible to get shot at while paying for red shirts over the Internet instead of in person. Then the dude who ran the red shirt marketplace and seems like an opportunistic idealist gets locked up with the key thrown away.

Anyway, it is arguable that the Silk Road saved lives, given that black markets are persistent regardless of legality.

Since Brexit I've noticed that my London-based employer has had an uptick in hiring Indian and Pakistani nationals, especially in Dev and QA. It's probably not the outcome that most Brexit supporters were gunning for, although I did hear that a large proportion of South Asians did in fact vote to leave for this reason.
Non-USian here. I'm interested in why.

Given that Trump didn't pardon Ulbricht during his first presidential term, why now?

What does Trump, who is notoriously transactional, get in return for this? Alternatively, what signal is he sending and to who?
But the amount taken from the employee is "total gross salary for employee" - "net payment to employee". Any additional expense borne by the employer due to additional tax is taken from the employer. (Same goes for other overheads such as insurance, cost of equipment, cost of working space.) The distinction is relevant because the employer has other things it could spend the money on, such as giving it all to the shareholders. Or buying more equipment. Or just storing it in the bank for a rainy day. Or maybe even employing more people at the existing salary levels. It's always felt to me that it's counting this particular bit of tax as the employee's money that is the trick.

But, I won't deny that our hypothetical employer could also give people a pay rise. And maybe this would translate into higher salaries generally over time. Not impossible! It's all the same pool of money!
Trump's tariff plan starts with a lie and goes down hill from there.

Tariffs are a tax, plain and simple --- paid directly to the US government by US importers and manufacturers who are ultimately reimbursed by consumers (you and me).

Huge new tariffs amount to nothing more than a massive tax increase combined with huge price increases (aka a spike in inflation) --- a double hit to the economy.

Show me a country that has ever taxed it's way to greatness.

Perplexity is now my default search engine. If I'm doing research, I use LLMs to summarise documents or scan through them to find relevant excerpts. If I'm doing general background reading on something, I'll ask an LLM for an explainer; likewise if I've read about one particular thing and want to understand the broader context around it. If I'm thinking through a problem, I'll bat the idea around with Claude or Deepseek, asking them to provide alternative perspectives.

It's quite difficult to analogise because LLMs are so profoundly novel, but the best I can do is that it's like having an infinitely patient and extremely knowledgeable assistant. That assistant isn't omniscient or infallible, but it's extremely useful because it tends to provide the information that I want, presented in a way that's particularly relevant to me. That requires a certain amount of rapport-building - understanding the characteristics of various models, learning to ask good questions, guiding the model towards my preferences with customised system prompts - but the effort pays off handsomely.
