Adding some anecdata, I feel like emulator is mainly used in the context of gaming, in which case they actually care a great deal about accurate reproduction (see: assembly bugs in N64 emulators that had to be reproduced in order to build TAS). I haven't seen it used much for old architectures; instead I'd call those virtual machines.

definitely agree on simulator though!
> Almost all federal departments and agencies derive their authority from acts of Congress.

Partially, as we need to be precise in our language.

Congress can design an agency, determine what powers it has, determine agency procedures and fund agencies.

It's up to the President to execute the law within those boundaries, including selecting the head of that agency (with Senate approval), and determining how the agency executes the law which can be incredibly broad if Congress wasn't proscriptive.

Thus the authority to execute the laws is delegated to the President by the Constitution who then delegates that power to the head of the agency which acts on the Presidents behalf.

More broadly, the Supreme Court has made clear that the Constitution imposes important limits on Congress’s ability to influence or control the actions of officers once they are appointed. Likewise, it is widely believed that the President must retain a certain amount of independent discretion in selecting officers that Congress may not impede. These principles ensure that the President may fulfill his constitutional duty under Article II to take [c]are that the laws are faithfully executed.9

I did! That's how my eyeballs fell upon these words:

> The only press allowed will be the one that acquiesces to the new administration and does not antagonize it. And this will be a major loss for press in general.

> I wish AP would not be so stubborn o unconsequential issues such as the Gulf of America. No one really cares, its a political stunt and nothing more.

They were punished for not toeing the line. You think they should have toed the line so they can keep playing the game. Like I said, everyone knows backing down when they try to force you to carry a narrative is how you prevent erosion of free press. I guess you would rather they wait for them to declare the official policy is the earth is flat and defect after that? That probably isn't consequential enough either. I have to wonder where you draw the line.

It's not okay to deplatform the AP over this, period.

Well, fine, but FAA? WHO? NSF? I would be totally unconfused if they were (and indeed they are) going after FBI, CIA, financial regulators - the sinews of power. But they seem to be going after everything. Even really boring things that they might as well leave be so as not to create a headache for themselves.
Trump's new doctrine is that all employees of the executive branch, such as federal police, must take his interpretation of the law as correct. So if a court ordered that the Secretary of State be jailed, Trump can issue a memo saying "the Executive Branch interprets this legal decision as meaning that the Secretary of State should not be jailed", then any federal police officer or agency head has to comply with the official interpretation of the president or be fired.
It's a good introduction at the pop-sci level, but most technically-inclined HN'ers are probably going to get more benefit from his earlier Zero to Hero series.
Oooo, I know who this is
No, that's not what it says. The part you quoted says that executive power is vested in the president. Legislative and judicial power are vested in other bodies that are not accountable to the president.

>it depends on the issue.

Those sound like expected numbers to me. People in general will be split if they have little opinion, because only the extreme cases will chime in.

>while 75% is a supermajority, 21% is a substantial minority rather than a minuscule or irrlevant one

not for polling. As a reference, Nixon's ratings leaving office was 25%. I wouldn't take that to mean "a quarter of the nation supported Watergate".

60+ is pretty high, 70+ is basically overwhelming support. 90% is almost unheard of and only really happens in maritime efforts or very early pollings.

So 75% supporting DEI initiatives is very high. ~50% being split on sports shows the interest is fairly low and pretty much "whatever". I wouldn't be surprised if the drop was simply because 2022 had some huge incident and then 2023 had none.

I more or less feel the same way about trans athletes; meh. it's a private organization adjusting rules for money at the end of the day and rarely about "sportsmanship". They'll do whatever makes them more money in the end. In the grand scheme of the world this will disappear into nothing as transitioning technology improves to make people biologically identical to their chosen gender.

>I don’t think anyone considers the mere fact of hiring a woman to be “woke”.

They should probably tell that to that pilot that died while Trump blamed it on "DEI".

That was part of my point. "Woke" is just a bad dogwhistle stretched beyond meaning. Pam Bondi can be not woke but Danielle Sassoon may be if that's how they frame it.

Code is the easy part of the job. Build a strong network of people you trust. Read the error codes and documentation fully (and make sure to understand them). Treat your continuing education like you are a doctor... a lot of work up front (first 4-6 years) then 30-50 hours (minimum) annually. For continuing education I'd recommend moving down the stack as a rule, but rules are meant to be broken. Most of the people in this industry are smart but not geniuses, and a lot of the people who look like geniuses really just have outstanding work ethic. CTO is more of a sales role at established (big enough) companies. Management is not leadership, it is its own skill set, and the only power managers actually have is to fire you, but any reasonable company puts a little resistance in that process... so don't think the management track is special. The trick to moving up a level is that you are so good that going down a level would feel like a vacation.

Lastly have fun with this job, its the best job in the world!

Game theory. It askss a fundamental choice on if you'd rather lose to democrats for the next decade miniumum while you split or ride out the Trump wave.

But in the same regards, Democrats have a similar struggle. It's clear trust is also very low right now within the party and that some people would rather have a party more focused on socialists causes a la Bernie. But is that worth risking a blue wave through the 20's and part of the 30's ?
What gives you any confidence that the SC will not like that argument? The Presidential immunity decision was already crazy cookoo land, they've already shown they're lackeys of Trump first and judges only second.
I had shoulder surgery last May. My surgeon told me no combat sports (BJJ, judo) for six months minimum. I was 40 at the time.

I went back on the mats a week later. Started with only doing warmups and movement drills, worked up to gentle flow rolling (with my arm tied into my belt) at a month, then drilling techniques with well-chosen partners and conservatively rolling with those same partners at two months.

This was, of course, on top of rigorously following my PT schedule. And being very conservative with the situations I’d put myself in.

By three months I had regained full flexibility in the arm, and by six months I was back to full-contact training five days a week.

I definitely think there’s a fine line to walk here. I explicitly didn’t do judo for six months because that involves direct and unavoidable impact. And I also made sure to choose training partners who would be very cognizant of my arm and limited range of motion and who wouldn’t just grab a submission and crank it. I also would preemptively tap any time that arm got isolated or in a position where it could be attacked. But there was definitely risk that a training partner would make a mistake or I would land on it badly and tear something.

Still, I would do it all over the same way. I definitely think pushing things helped it heal dramatically more quickly and completely than otherwise. But you do have to be careful with the level of risk you’re exposing yourself to.

Without agreeing or disagreeing with you, that's irrelevant. The law is the law. If it specifies that a particular agency must exist, and how it should function, then that's what the executive is required to implement.

In theory, at least. If Trump and his minions decide to do something else, there isn't really anyone with the power to stop him, absent impeachment.

It's a matter of luck, connections and your own experience. While 180k in Europe is certainly very high end, 150k is not unheard of while 100k is quite mainstream. I know that official statistics show lower numbers but I speak from my own experience knowing how much my peers make.

There's certainly a gap between what companies show on the job ads and what they are really willing to pay for good candidates.

As pointed out in other comments, you get around 1 month of vacation. It is often possible to negotiate more vacation days in favor of lower salary or perhaps request a remote work. There's a lot of flexibility.
Are you daft? We had a major power on the UN Security Council threaten to use nuclear weapons in their currently ongoing war as little as three months ago.

Full disarmament is a myth. Some warheads are going to be maintained going into forever. That's how you deter the other guy from developing and using the same. Literally wrote my undergrad thesis on why complete nuclear disarmament is impossible 20+ years ago.

Countries only wage wars that they think they can win.

And every technology is a potential weapons technology.

Looks really cool. Probably want to add a .gitignore and get the node_modules folder out of the repo. Also, as far as the claim of being way smaller than other similar frameworks, those other frameworks are doing a lot more. It's a bit of apples to oranges. But yeah lightweight Agent frameworks have a time and place too.
I'm not trying to throw shade when I say this: those codebases are very small. (I'm assuming what I found in the src/ directories is their code.) Working in large codebases is a different kind of experience than working in a small codebase. It's no longer possible to keep the whole system in mind, to keep the dozens+ people working on it in sync, or keep up to date with all the changes being made. In that environment, consistency is a useful mechanism to keep things under control, although it can be overused.

Yes, there have been major updates since the last Shows I posted:

- LookAway now helps you maintain better posture and eye health with the wellness reminders.
- LookAway now detects when you're gaming and pauses automatically.
- You can now add deep focus apps with multiple configurations, and LookAway will automatically pause when the conditions are met.
- If a break is due but you're typing, LookAway waits for you to finish so you don’t lose your flow.

These are just a few of the many improvements, bringing LookAway closer to what could be called LookAway 2.0 - though I’m reserving that name for a future update.

"Hitler opened the meeting by boasting that millions of Germans had welcomed his chancellorship with “jubilation,” then outlined his plans for expunging key government officials and filling their positions with loyalists. At this point he turned to his main agenda item: the empowering law that, he argued, would give him the time (four years, according to the stipulations laid out in the draft of the law) and the authority necessary to make good on his campaign promises to revive the economy, reduce unemployment, increase military spending, withdraw from international treaty obligations, purge the country of foreigners he claimed were “poisoning” the blood of the nation, and exact revenge on political opponents. “Heads will roll in the sand,” Hitler had vowed at one rally."

I guess worth mentioning another story..

Some years after my fuck up, Chris Froome, multiple Tour winner, crashed badly. Much worse than me, broke a lot of bones.

One of them was the femur neck. This one (and maybe in combination with other broken bones) took him a long time to recover from. By the time he did, he was finished as the Chris Froome, no more wins.

Not saying he did anything wrong, the fuck do I know, but I wondered for a while if he tried, how shall I say it, a more head on approach to the fractured bones recovery and if that made any difference.
I explained it above, not quite sure how I can add more context. I can add that the court stacking isn't too unanimous and that it just takes 2 judges being pissed off to shift the entire dynamic. Compared to something like 19 GOP senators.

But yes, we're in unprecedented times and maybe SCOTUS will lock step over it. It's sad that I can't say with confidence that judges will respect the first article of the constitution.

>The Presidential immunity decision was already crazy cookoo land

It has a semblance of sense in a good faith governmental system. You don't want a president punished for their hard decisions in office.

Now with context: it's stupid because so many of his actions happened before he was president. At the very best, he maybe would have been excused for the Jan 6th riots. Trump should indeed be in jail, even before dissecting this month of of a circus.

It is not an optimization ; it changes program semantics - converts programs that will run out of stack eventually regardless of the amount of available memory (and raise exceptions an the process, for example, which a program might rely on. Either way, semantics are changed)

Judicial review won't automatically change the president's mind. And according to this order, executive branch employees must only look at the president's decisions, not at what other branches of government say. Even if a judge issues an injunction against some decision by the president, federal employees acting on that judicial order will be fired for not performing their duty to the president.

I have a itch to build HR tech product but I dont know how to get started
I am entrepreneur based out of Toronto, Canada. It's 12:35 am right now, my two kids and wife are asleep and I am here typing this to get some answers and guidance. I started my first business back in 2016, it was HR tech product that aimed to digitize the staffing agencies, it didn't end up working due to legal disputes with founders and burn out. After that, I started IT/HR consulting business that I still run to this day but I still have itch to do HR tech product. Atm, I am thinking to build something that I can use internally for my recruitment with adding AI to the mix. I want to diversify my businesses and add product along with my service business. How can I get started? I feel like I am stuck in middle of Lake ontario with not sure which way to go.
Again, they're accountable to the laws that regulate them and the judicial system, in their every action.

It's something extremely common in normal democracies, and if it's really antithetical to US civics, that's just another proof that the US were only a pretence of a democratic system.
Yeah, because "reasonable" is what you find with Trump. Stop trying to apologise for that Orange retard and his horde of shameless minions.
Also shattered mine mtn biking (2022), and the surgeon scheduled surgery as soon as he saw the x-ray. I broke it twice as a teenager, and went through the sling route for both of those.

The craziest part about the plate is how quickly the pain from instability was relieved. I could finally sleep and honestly could've used my arm at ~80% days after surgery. I still have the plate which causes some discomfort, but I likely won’t worry about it.

In light of the article, I wonder if the plate encouraged/allowed me to use my arm in ways I wasn’t aware of. Funnily enough, it’s almost the definition of a crutch but one that allows me to use my arm more than if I was just hugging my body in an attempt to avoid that sharp pain.

Never lost my fear of the mtb, just focus on the uphill and cross country more.

I'm not sure I buy that. Sure, if everyone in Congress terms out at the same time, and your next Congress is full of fresh faces, you absolutely run into that problem.

As long as things are staggered, senior legislators will mentor junior legislators, and that institutional knowledge will be passed on.

And I don't think we're talking about limiting representatives and senators in the same way we do for the president. I would say it would be fair to allow them to serve for something on the order of 15-20 years.

But sure, I think there are many other problems that matter more: winner-takes-all elections that essentially require you have only a two-party system, the electoral college, and (as you mention) the primary system.
