I'm sure your intonation sounds annoying to some other generation too.
Man I wish I could upvote you more. Most humans are never able to tell the wrong turn in real time until it's too late
You misunderstand me. My comment wasn't suggesting that people who contract don't have families. Plenty of them do. It's that people who choose employment over contracting do so because they want the additional stability, for example if they have families.

Lots of people, when evaluating the risks of contracting vs employment, find the reward far outweighs the risk. It sounds like you'd be one of them if you were presented with the same choice. And that's a fine decision for you to come to. But that's not going to be the same conclusion for everyone.
That is not a counter point! The output has a probability distribution so you can assing zero to any e-containing token and scale everything else up accordingly.
The use case is slightly different. I prefer to send read receipts, but I also like to peek at messages without sending them and removing unread counts because I want to add the message to my mental queue, but don't want the false impression that I didn't bother to answer the said message.
Resource inequality and thus wealth inequality is rather bad because one person is generally unable to allocate resources efficiently after a certain point of excess. Resource inequality leads to inefficient resource allocation.
Everybody should just copy the Dutch and be done with it. It helps that their country has a max elevation of 4m but apart from that we can just transpose their lessons to our cities, and/or hire their designers.
> how do you write a map function? Or filter, find, etc.

You just don't. Zig does not have lambdas anyway, there's no readability incentive to having such functions there. You do these things with plain old loops built into the language.
Pidgin is back, so let's talk about why a local chat client matters
And employers are now starting to require compliance with using LLMs regardless of employee curiosity.

Shopify now includes LLM use in annual reviews, and if I'm not mistaken GitHub followed suit.

did you account for rsu value too or just basepay/hours . now that i am a perm employee a big share of my comp comes from rsu.

The hiring managers / founders equating the stock options to real money is actually a red flag to me.

It’s super unlikely that a cash-out event ever happens for a startup, so until then, it’s just fake money to me.

And I say this having owned and exited my own 8-employee startup and continued to work for startups for the last 15 years. I work for cash, not imaginary future profits.
Not really. If you only want to manipulate the list, you only need a direct pointer to the nested node but don't need to know the 'outer type'.

Only if the function takes a pointer to the outer type it needs to know how to get the pointer to the embedded node struct from the item pointer.

...I guess it makes a lot more sense if you ever wrote code for AmigaOS ;)
I don't see AI inference becoming the main computational primitive. It will always be faster and more efficient on the execution side to just write some code to do a task, than it will be to ask an AI to do the same task. Unless nobody knows how to write code anymore, and everyone just loves paying Google/OpenAI rent to avoid having to think for themselves.
It doesn't matter! I literally never connected my LG TV to wifi, but then after my Apple TV updated, the eARC pass through stopped working and wouldn't work until I updated the TV, which was only passing through the HDMI signal...
I didn't say they were better. Just that without Google Translate, I doubt you would have had a much harder time in your recent trip to Japan because you could have used them, and they aren't particularly worse :-).
Based on the averages, a DSL is going to suck and be a curse upon your future self/maintainers.

You provided a Clojure alternative, but without using the precise feature designed to alleviate this problem: transducers[0]. Transducers are the combination of functional composition and an indirection designed to decouple the data transformation pipeline from any specific source (e.g. async vs in-memory doesn't matter).

If the shopping list is a physical note, it looks like this:

Bread
Actually, ignore what we discussed, I'm writing this here because I was ashamed to tell you in person, but I'm thinking of breaking up with you, and only want you to leave quietly and not contact me again

Do you think the person reading that would just ignore it and come back home with milk and bread and think nothing of the other part?
Homevalues trending up act as a force savings account with 1-4% interest.

Most people spend the money they have in their bank account, which is terrible for their later years.
And haven't people actually rewritten Kubernetes in Go? I vaguely recall it was originally written in Java.
Good point, but if they're operating in the US, UK and Europe, and are fully remote out of the box, is it that much of a stretch to add the other time zones?

Or is it just something that US-led startups don't think about?

One of the first things I think about when I'm launching a new startup is "How will I service clients in the US or Europe when I'm asleep?", I'd hope that global companies think about Asia that way too.
You can scrape the ice off manually and wear adequate clothing to “survive the drive”. Toughen up, dude!
Gnome and KDE plasma or whatever are horrible steps back in my experience. Laggy or slow loading of content in apps such as their app catalogs or hitching and lockups feel gross on a capable modern system even with 24gb of ram. Windows 11 isn't much better honestly where I relate to the video showing Win2k vs Win11 and apps take forever to load now.

Sure they are pretty looking but so was stuff like Aero which felt faster on worse hardware so what is going on? I feel like around the mid 2000s we went down the path of putting heavy, slow web-like user interfaces into the OS and brought everything down with it in favor of the scalability of DPI and easier (?) development. It's not really the OS either it's the apps. We've been making trade offs at the cost of usability and speed.
The most efficient way per whom, AI stakeholders and top managers?
That was painful to read.

I had a very similar experience at Google about a year ago, and the worst part of it was that they did it 2 weeks before I was set to receive a 6-figure retention bonus for sticking around for 2 years after an acquisition.

Several other members of my team got the boot at the same time. All of us had come in via that acquisition and were set to receive that bonus, and because of the layoffs, none of us did. Folks I talked to on the inside stopped just short of saying that was why we were chosen.

It was especially galling because years before at the company that eventually got acquired by Google, I survived a round of layoffs, and leadership issued stay bonuses for everyone who was left. Those bonuses explicitly stated that they were still valid in the event that we were laid off before their time period was up.

Big companies are soulless.
I think it matches really well for the Zig ethos of "artisanal, minimal code". More than often, a type is strongly tied to how it is being used in the code base. In that sense, having it be tightly coupled to a data structure isn't much of a problem. The opposite isn't true, and the data structure is independent of the embedding parent data. The implementation of that data structure itself can still be presented as a library, and the "generic" parts carefully tested.
Dude if scraping ice off a windshield gives you a heart attack you have way bigger problems than your car not heating up remotely. Go see a doctor.
A concrete example of this is EDN in Clojure, like deps.edn for projects or bb.edn for babashka tasks. S-exps all the way down, so no specialized templating logic. Namespaced symbols, as well.
Well NuBank might have a similar trajectory I don't know but I'm talking about Banco Inter who explicitly talks about the term "SuperApp"
Second tier, and not followed by clear decline. (IMHO, YMMV.)
There are some important caveats to that logic:
- the share of the budget spending from these worker cuts is minuscule, even the overall cost of all federal worker is a small percentage of spending, the bulk of spending is in entitlements and defense + debt repayment from deficit spending (which tax cuts always increase)
- if tariffs work at making manufacturing come back to the US then the tariff revenues will decrease since fewer products will be imported, and while they are in effect they are a tax increase which will slow down economic activity since they will directly affect consumer spending (unlike a tax increase on high earners would)

Bullfrogs? That's a funny name, I'd've called them Chuzwozzas!
I think author misses some points:

1. Sometimes engineers are right to be non-committal if the non-functional requirements are not yet fully known because the business side simply hasn't really fully scoped their NFRs which can often make a big difference in the design of the system.

2. Many orgs have a poorly managed culture around disagreements on technical design and some folks just don't want to put up with that kind of friction when the difference between using approach A or B is real, but not going to topple the project either way so why waste that energy fighting that kind of battle?

EDIT: Simple analogy

> Say we must choose where to get dinner. Japanese or Indian. Without constraints, I do not care. But if Antoine and Lin are coming and Antoine has a shellfish allergy while Lin is a vegetarian, I now want to commit because I like their company and Indian is the better choice. Why make a fuss about Japanese or Indian if I do not care unless there is actually a real reason to pick one over the other? Either is fine with me; I just want to go out to dinner and have a good time. I am happy with either Japanese or Indian!

Do you see the difference? If Antoine and Lin are not coming, I will eat anywhere; I don't care -- let's have a good time! If Antoine and Lin are coming, I think we should pick Indian because they have requirements that we should consider -- let's have a good time!

It's like asking me to choose GCP, Azure, or AWS. Does it really matter if there's no constraint? I can and have delivered systems on each of these platforms. Am I cowardly for not committing and not being a diehard for one of these when there are no NFR's that favor one over the other?
Unfortunately I don’t remember exactly where I read it. It’s been a few years since I looked into Ford.

The mostly likely place is probably his autobiography “My Life and Work” where he talks about business/economic ideas quite a bit. Although it could also have been a newspaper article he wrote.

FWIW beware there’s a lot of serious antisemitism in that book. Which is a shame because it stains an otherwise fascinating book about early cars and 20th century business.
It's definitely not an easy answer. Cutting the involvement, or the support given by the state in everyday lives can have about any support for the individuals. And this goes beyond the impersonal numbers of the "tax money", with longer term effects we just don't really know yet. I also argument that the current administration doesn't care about the long term effects on the little guy, but maybe that's just me.
Show HN: I made an app that helps you take professional photos of yourself
I’ve always had a hard time getting good photos of myself.. whether it’s timing, clothes, or weather, something always doesn't work. and nowadays, having a strong online presence with great photos is super important. from LinkedIn to Tinder

That's why I spent the past two weeks to build http://photoguruai.com, helping people create studio-quality photos of themselves in different styles and settings.

in need of a LinkedIn headshot? go for it
need a tinder profile? yup
in a need for a startup-guy cv photo, asking for a VC? of course
* State management is one of the most simple problems to solve in any application.

* WebSockets are superior to all revisions of HTTP except that HTTP is sessionless. Typically when developers argue against WebSockets it’s because they cannot program.

* Your software isn’t fast. Not ever, unless you have numbers for comparison.

* Things like jquery, React, Spring, Rails, and so forth do not exist to create superior software. They exist to help businesses hire unqualified developers.

* If you want to be a 10x developer just don’t repeat the mistakes other people commonly repeat. Programming mastery is not required and follows from your 10x solutions.

* I find it dreadfully hypocritical that people complain about AI in the interview process and simultaneously dismiss the idea of requiring licensing for professional software practice.

West Europe is far from cheap. Housing, childcare etc is unaffordable for many in the middle class (and as dev, you are in most cases in Europe not a very high earner).
Universal healthcare is the main (last) advantage Europe has over the U.S (and its a big one.)
TFA does mention the fourth one is preferred in part because of cleaning. I think they wanted to show something that maximized for splash and a more realistic solution.
Interesting initiative, but I couldn't find an answer to the most obvious question when exploring the model: what do abbreviations like "evas" and "comp" mean? I suppose that "evas" stands for evasive answer, "comp" maybe for "comply" or "complete answer", but what does that mean exactly?

Also, these columns do not correspond with the vague text on the front page talking about "filter", "refuse", "deny" and "redirect". You have to define exactly what you mean by all these terms, and not switch from "redirect" to "evade" or from "refuse" to "deny" even if you think these words mean the same thing.

I wouldn't call that table a "model overview" but an overview of the results of the model.

You're going to get a better strike price from the company than from the market.

> (also, the flip side to your example: if NFLX drops 1% because of market conditions outside of your control, and the options are close to expiration, you now don't have $297000 .... you now have $0).

Yes indeed, that is why options are a risky investment and no company pays people entirely in options.
curious - which forum is this?
That's the convention, but AFAIK it's not enshrined on law.

Some states require payout for unused, earned vacation time.

State-managed unemployment pay is also a thing, assuming the employee wasn't fired for cause. I think some states require employers to pay into this via a payroll tax.

it's complicated for appropriate values of complicated.

more specifically it's defined piecewise and the standard then rounds some constants in the definition, which results in a slight discontinuity around the transition from one piece to the other.

The article should be more clear about this, but this does not resolve the Dark Matter situation at all - this is about the missing baryonic mass, the normal matter we interact with, that's apparently also been missing :)
Here, we have the equivalent of Jack posting a stern issue, without proposal, without rationale, without previous involvement in the project.

And Elon doing a +1.

Two bros who are not the least committed to what they're suggesting, and that don't even have the need to.

4 basic questions pop up when a maintainer receives such a issue (or poorly expressed pull request):

1/ what are you trying to achieve?

2/ how do you maintain the good things working in order (here, an ecosystem that sustains creativity and community)?

3/ how is it better than the existing code?

4/ who will maintain that?

Be like the engineers you claim to be, guys. Show us how you do engineering. Show us how you do understand law, and IP laws. Do specs. Projections. Plans. Data.
Probably. There is a similar question: if you ask ChatGPT / Midjourney to generate a drawing, are you an artist ? (to me yes, which would mean that AI "vibe coders" are actual developers in their own way)
The thing about the Kobayashi Maru
Omnom: Self-hosted bookmarking with searchable, wysiwyg snapshots
a bit of background. this is a rewrite of omnom by asciimoo - the guy who also made searx. originally i wrote omnom, back in the days when del.icio.us was enshittified and gone down the drain. instead of complaining i was taking the opportunity to write a replacement that i would want, it became omnom, and for many years me and a bunch of users were very happy with it.

but the fast moving world of browser extensions made maintenance (for a non-commercial free software side project) too expensive, so the extension support became erratic, until it died completely. for a year or two i didn't use it.

but then asked asciimo if he could have a look a the extensions (since he was recently working on another extension, so had some experience), he looked at it, and rewrote the whole thing in go and fixed the extension. he even got support from nlnet/ngi0.

if you want to have your own self-hosted libre software bookmarking service for you and your community, give it a go, it's very simple, privacy respecting and most robust when it comes to snapshotting. asciimoo did a great job.
Citymove in Prague works really well and has great design ;)
I have been developing with MCP for a few weeks now, making some small python and javascript servers to integrate with Claude Desktop.

I am yet to see a use case that wouldn't be better served with an HTTP API. I understand the need to standardize some conventions around this, but at the heart of it, all "tool" use boils down to:
1. an API endpoint to expose capabilities / report the API schema
2. other endpoints ("tools") to expose functionality

Want state? ("resources") - put a database or some random in-memory data structure behind an API endpoint. Want "prompts"? This is just a special case of a tool.

Fundamentally (like most everyone else experimenting with this tech), I need an API that returns some text and maybe images. So why did I just lose two days trying to debug the Python MCP SDK, and the fact that its stdio transport can't send more than a few KB without crashing the server?

If only there was a stateless way to communicate data between a client and a server, that could easily recover from and handle errors...
A society where everybody can create wealth ends up far richer than one where one person hoards it all. So, yes, extreme inequality is bad for everybody, even those at the top of an unequal society.

Most people view the Nordics as desirable places to live and their Gini coefficient hovers around 0.3, while places with very high inequality, like Brazil and South Africa, tend to be poor and violent.
> Also, surely if they were excellent candidates then you'd be doing your absolute best to keep them around?

Well to be fair excellent candidates are excellent on paper. It sometimes happens (not often, but not once in a blue moon either) that the candidate turns out to be completely unsuitable for the job.
Slightly tangential question for you- does 48% taxes include healthcare? How about pension? It’s tax week in the US, I think my rate was 22% overall. But another 10% of compensation is health insurance. Another 15% is retirement savings. My municipal water bill last quarter mostly was not for actual water usage (about 40% was for water) rest is system charge and storm water fees. Regarding the VAT thing… we may be effectively getting the equivalent with tariffs on goods and materials supposedly taking effect!

Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out! Lighthouse seems to go much further in extracting the feeds and even finds some likely variants by brute force or crawls for links.

For this browser extension I aim to have a small but curated list of ad-hoc derives instead of one-fits-all solution. This makes me wonder: if RSS is supported by a website but is not accessible at all, perhaps the right approach would be to simply ask the owners to provide access to it.
Across the universe of accredited investors, I don’t think that a $10K minimum is a significant barrier.

We can argue whether the accredited investor process is good or bad (I think it’s more good than bad), but I don’t blame companies for not wanting a bunch of $872 high roller outsiders on the cap table.
Pot calling the kettle black. You're saying the commenter is wrong, without presenting any substantive arguments or "empirical evidence" otherwise.

"Do your homework" is not a useful comment, b/c you can easily find eco-chambers re-enforce any point you want on the internet. Instead of trying to engage in conversation, you're just pushing them further into their own ecochamber.
