I mean I agree it's a mask but still feels slimy. I can get behind not going broke > overriding any shame.

But I do think that some people are better at lying to themselves that the choices are going broke or make independent contractor work by selling yourself like that.

There's the obvious route which is to just not be an independent contractor and get a 'normal' job where you still have to do some of this nauseating selling yourself but at only a few critical times and way less public.

No shame for those who want to be an independent contractor at the cost of selling yourself like that but just sharing that I can't seem to trick myself into thinking it's a go broke or make it work situation.

I think some value the independent nature of it and say it's worth the embarrassment that gp talks about. Was just sharing how it's not a go broke or make it work because well it's a bit of a luxury (because normal job is always there)
I would argue that #2 is better with tau; yes there's a factor of 1/2, but it should be there for the same reason that kinetic energy is 1/2mv*2 and distance traveled under constant acceleration is 1/2at*2. All of those are the result of integrating a linear function.
Thanks for sharing that research!
I liked it fwiw! Fun to play and solve. Thanks!
I was a kid when the Treaty was ratified in the Senate and when the Treaty was first implemented on October 1, 1979. As a kid it was a sad day for us. We all thought that Panama would be incapable of running the canal properly. The railroad quickly went into disrepair when Panama took over so there was some valid reasons for believing this.

In our own way we protested things. We wore shirts that said, “To Jimmy from the Canal Zone” with Gummy flipping the bird. We wrote some graffiti with slogans like “CZ Forever” and “Kiss My American Ass”. The transition was peaceful though and no violence was carried out. It took 21 years for the Treaty to be fully implemented. I came to the United States for college and stayed here in the U.S. ever since.

When I went back to Panama some years ago I could see that Panama made great progress compared to when the U.S. was there. One rabiblanco I talked to put it this way, “When you Americans left we had to grow up.” I could first hand see that we ended up stunting the political and economic progress of Panama.

The Treaty was the right thing to do. I hated it as a kid to lose my hometown and start being patrolled by the Guadia Nacional (PDF) but as an adult I see it differently.
APIs are just building blocks and blobs of single-ish responsibility. It's good to ask lots of different questions to understand the actual question being asked, what the desired capabilities of the thing being asked are, etc.

From there, you should be able to start laying out the different components and how they interact.

Edit: here's some areas of consideration when designing a system:

* what does this thing do?
* what are the expected inputs and outputs of the whole system?
* what operations are we wanting to be able to perform against it?
* how frequently will each of these operations be done?
* how quickly do we want a response from this whole system?
* what different sorts of integrations do we expect for this system? Any?
* how often do we expect the system to change?
* where do we expect to expand the system the most in the future? What will that look like?

I'm sure others will have many, many more things to add

(part 1/3)

Let's put this to bed once and for all. The sentence under discussion is:

> A woman in her forties sits on a bench, fixing the shrine with her gaze.

The construction in this sentence is perfectly standard in both British and American English, documented by reputable dictionaries, and in common usage across contexts from tabloids and young adult fantasy to newspapers of record and literary fiction.

Dictionaries: Several commenters have posted dictionary entries for related but distinct constructions like "fix a gaze on." Here are entries supporting the exact construction under discussion.

2. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fix%20(someone)%2...

3. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/fix, definition 9: "If you fix someone with a particular kind of expression, you look at them in that way."

- "He took her hand and fixed her with a look of deep concern. [VERB noun with noun]"

- "He fixed me with a lopsided grin. [VERB noun with noun]"

examples from other Collins entries:

- "The man fixed his interrogator with a steady gaze and spoke quietly but firmly." (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/sentences/english/gaze)

- "He pulls his other hand towards his face and fixes me with an intense gaze that has been well practised." (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/dictionary/english/inte...)

4. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fix#Verb, definition 1.1: "(Of a piercing look) to direct at someone." (note that definition 1, but not 1.1, is marked as obsolete)

- "He fixed me with a sickly grin, and said, 'I told you it wouldn't work!'"

- "She sniffed, too, comprehendingly, and fixed her son with a relentless eye."

5. https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis..., idioms: "fix somebody with a look, stare, gaze, etc.: to look directly at somebody for a long time"

The first economic victims of the Trump administrations dystopian policies are blue collar workers.

In addition to the domestic workers mentioned in the article (e.g. the folks who regularly clean office and labs), many major universities have now put a freeze on capital spending including building and renovations. This is going to hit tradespeople and contractors hard and the economic ripples are going to be felt state and countrywide.

Many states will be looking at an annual economic loss of billions of dollars. Couple that with the impact of stupid tariffs and it all seems tailor made to drive the country into recession...
If you like this stuff, consider how to "implement" JSON in Prolog:

:- op(400, yfx, :).
?- JSON = {
a: 1, b: "a string",
c: { d: "a compound" }
},
JSON = { a: X, b: Y, c: { d: Z }}

Basically, you don't ;) all we did here is declaring ':' as an infix operator. The next lines bind/unify a term to the var JSON, and the last line is again unification in action (basically destructuring on steroids), binding the vars X, Y, and Z to the respective value 1, "a string", and "a compound" from the previously bound JSON var.

You can paste this snippet into [1] and execute it right in your browser to check that indeed X, Y, and Z are bound as described if you wish.

Not that it matters that much. Prolog is really for indeterministically searching a large/infinite space such as in planning (and yes it can be used for theorem proving and program verification as well). It's always fun to see newcomers trying to implement pointless low-level stuff such as list primitives when coming from a functional programming background or even getters/setters.

It does have an effect; it is just a slow and grinding process. And people have screwy senses of proportion - like old mate mentioning insider trading. Of all the corruption in the US Congress insider trading is just not an issue. They've wasted trillions of dollars on pointless wars and there has never been a public accounting of what the real reasoning was. That sort of process corruption is a much bigger problem.

A great example - people forget what life was like pre-Snowden. The authoritarians were out in locked ranks pretending that the US spies were tolerable - it made any sort of organisation to resist impossible. Then one day the parameters of the debate get changed and suddenly everyone is forced to agree that encryption everywhere is the only approach that makes sense.
Therein lies the rub. Treating abstract and the concrete in isolation was always tough sledding for me.

It is the natural order because it is much harder to be an employer. You have to secure financing, you have debts to pay or the business ends. You don’t have time to get jerked around by workers who basically have nothing to lose, and can just go from job to job siphoning income with their skills.
“Our product will have succeeded once we can shut it down, when leetcode interviews are a thing of the past,” De Vries said.

I personally would never use any sort of cheating software, cheating goes against my personal ethics. But as a Engineer with 15 years of experience(valdezm.com) being gated by AI and "technical screens" and whatever magic / dark secrets is going on in ATS(applicant tracking systems).. I do wonder about what companies are thinking, what they are going to do with the weaponization of reductionist ideologies that is this AI approach to interviews. Perhaps we need nee some sort of reciprocity of "Tethics"- I will not cheat, if you do not reduce me to knapsack/dining philosopher problem I learned 20 years ago. If you do not rank me through an ATS, if you provide me with qualitative, real hard-earned time commitment responses, founded in logical reason-based attempts to accept/deny my efforts and the opportunity we are mutually perusing(which I am equally submitting to you).

Yeah, I am a dreamer.

It's less about stopping and more about how often you have to charge the car. If more cars have to charge more frequently with a longer charge time, then more fast charging infrastructure needs to be built out.

Larger vehicles (buses, trucks) need more battery. Towing requires more battery.

Fewer stops out of the necessity to charge is a good thing.
Sure, we can approach from that angle, instead of the just-graduated-high-school angle.

I did not talk about paying cashiers at different rates. I addressed the single minimum rate from the earlier comment, where a household's single income can "support a family of four above the poverty line -- spouse & kids in a house/apartment, food, medical, education, etc [without relying on assistance programs]". According to the back of this envelope, that would be $70,000/yr = $33/hr. In some areas or with other decisions, maybe only $50,000/yr = $24/hr.

A grocery store would be rare indeed that could afford to pay their lowest-skilled, lowest-tenured cashier at $24/hr. Surely society can come up with a better answer than telling so many grocery stores that self-checkout is the only practical way to stay in business.
IMO domain knowledge is crucial here. I don’t know anything about pricier or financial products so hard to reason about the system.

But to give a general advice, I’d approach it by trying to break down the domain into concepts, then think about how those concepts can be turned into abstractions. Then you can think about relationships between those abstractions and engineering solutions for those relationships.

Also, systems all take inputs and produce outputs. Validating those would be another interesting aspect given its finances related.

>> This article is conflating language and ancestry

From the article:

"DNA detectives, including at Reich’s lab, analyzed DNA samples from the remains of around 450 prehistoric individuals taken from 100 sites in Europe, as well as data from 1,000 previously known ancient samples"

Ancestry, not language.

"Reich’s award-winning lab at Harvard has one of the largest ancient DNA databases in the world and uses proprietary gene-analysis software co-developed by Nicholas Patterson, a British mathematician who once worked as a codebreaker for U.K. intelligence services."

Ancestry, not language.

"DNA evidence shows that the proto-Yamnaya population migrated from the Volga region to Anatolia"

Ancestry, not language.

"In many places, indigenous male DNA disappears upon the arrival of the Yamnaya, while indigenous female DNA is traceable in the following generations"

Ancestry, not language.

"Within years of their arrival, some 99% of the indigenous people disappeared, according to Reich’s analysis of DNA samples from the time"

Ancestry, not language.

I rate your claim that "This article is conflating language and ancestry" as false, and I award you no points.
Germans are a distinct ethnolinguistic group that existed prior to the unified German nation state.

Many (most?) countries exist because pre-existing ethnolinguistic groups got their own country. For example, Bengalis have existed for long enough that you can easily identify them as a tightly clustered, distinct group in genetic profiles,[1] but never had their own country until 1971.

Double dude, your pathetically weak thinking, and even more, your obviously inferiority-complex-ridden nature, which is evidenced by your trying (unsuccessfully) to strike out viciously at others who make knowledgeable, reasonable and innocuous comments (see mine above, to which you replied in your ugly way), show, overall, your utter sickness and poverty, mental, physical and emotional.

first of all, I am posting again one of my earlier comments in reply to you:

acting (faux) scholarly and trying to tell me things (which are totally wrong) about my own country and culture, you jackass. you are laughable.

fool. everyone here noticed that you "cleverly" avoided replying to any of my above points, and instead tried to divert the topic by trying to insult me, you fuckhead and fucktard:

>I don't think you're capable of jest. Get some therapy.

hee hee hee.

not just me, no sane or decent person is interested in the opinions of a retard like you, except other retards like you, of which I know there are many, so some are sure to downvote my comment, but who the bloody fuck cares for votes or opinions of others, except losers like you and your friends, who I am sure you will encourage to waste their unvaluable time in downvoting, because laid off and no work and little money left, right? There are tons of recent posts on HN about all the people feeling the pain of no jobs and no money, which situation is partly if not largely due to the brain-dead shenanigans of jokers like you, who kept on demanding unsustainable raises, for years (which is why your jobs went to India and Ukraine and Mexico and ...), and job hopping for the same, which has now finally ended in so many of you guys being kicked out of your comfy, highly overpaid jobs, so that now you are on the street, scrabbling to make ends meet.

you are not capable of anything good, only of rotten shit! :)

I am fine. You need much more than therapy. you need a life, and to have interest in it. until then you will be as unhappy as you are now.

now, fuck off, you pathetic excuse for a human being.

don't waste your time insulting others gratuitously.

and I don't give a flying shit if I am banned for this comment, because you started it, with your 2 ugly comments above, and because who gives a shit about hn in the real world anyway. let the whole world know how discriminatory HN is, with a very western-favoring slant, if not outright racism, towards Indians, Asians, etc., by comment posters, voters and moderators.

i'll repeat what i have quoted here a few times before; it's by Amy Hoy:

Fuck HN.

that is what she famously said, somewhere on one of her sites, some years ago. yes, so that means the rottenness of the site started or already existed back then, not just now.

Explicit recursion is as harmful as goto. We already have a solution - they're called recursion schemes[1].

Using recursion schemes is analogous to using structured programming rather than just constructing loops and branches out of gotos. The problem is the functional programming community got there first and the names are the equivalent of FactoryFactoryFactory and going to be a turn off to normal programmers even though the concepts are dead simple.

Not very long at all ago, people waged war over dynamic vs lexical function scoping.
