But didn't net income go down by 24%. Isn't that the one of the main things that matters?

The tech industry is still hiring, it's just FAANG that are contracting because they were the ones who had the money to massively overhire during the pandemic. Everyone else is still trying to get good hires. So, get a job that helps you and then start looking for the next job once you are building your basic skills.

I would try them. They probably have side effects, they did for me. But the side effects are definitely not worse than that pit in the stomach. At least for me. Exercise has also been effective at ameliorating some of my anxiety/depression.

Isn't this going to create another problem. Where the country gets old before it gets rich?

I write Elixir (which uses this syntax) and Rust (which doesn't) and I think both are fine. I'm hoping Rust doesn't support this mostly because I don't think the language support this sugar solves any problems Rust has.

I think e-bikes will be very successful, but you have to get the product into the people's hands. It's hard to know what an e-bike is like until you try it. They are so fun, and getting fresh air will almost certainly make you more happy.

But trying to convince people of that without putting them on an e-bike is kind of hard.

I do sometimes. I do it when I really know what the outcome should be, and I know that this will speed up my implementation. But when I'm just throwing ideas around, the tests are never written before the implementation.

Bitcoin to bitcoin might be cheap, but the crypto exchanges seems to take quite a cut when you convert to national currency. Something like 1.5% in the case of Coinbase.

First time I even tried to use Rocket, I couldn't get there Hello World thing compiled. I honestly don't know if it was my error or a nightly compiler incompatibility and that sucked.

This is dope. I've been using 0.7 as a way to learn Rust, and it's been great. However, the `SyncActor` thing, was kind of hard to use.

Proton on Steam makes so many windows games work on Linux. For now, its THE main reason I will not leave Steam. No other platform has given as much love for linux.

I stopped using keybase because it just takes too long to open up the app on keybase and send message on my phone. the desktop client is great, but it's just too slow on mobile.

Is there one like this for the US?

We've been using this service for a quite a while as a small startup, and it changed the game for us as far as env vars go. WE LOVE IT!

My brothers and I (we all have quite 3-4 kids) joke that kids ruin everything. It's hyperbole, but feels true a lot of the time.

They are also fun, goofy, beautiful, and potential life long friends. It's also hard to see that sometimes when you're kids are screaming at 2am and you're seeing a shitty day at work or caring for kids ahead of you.

Skip | Salt Lake City, UT | Full-Time | ONSITE | Elixir Skip is a mobile checkout app like Walmart's scan & go. We're experiencing a lot of growth in the convenience industry and need good people to make rock solid services that operate 24 HR/day. We want senior and junior developers. Salary range between $65K - $130K depending on skills.

I think you're both partially right. Profit motive is what drives people, but profit margins will be shrunk so in an established mining ecosystem like bitcoin you probably aren't going to make any profit (after accounting for opportunity costs).

Would it ever be possible to program an fpga to run your HTTP server? So you'd have hardware that was specially designed for your program. Deploying code would just be about reprogramming the FPGA.

I recently read an article about India being afraid of embracing Western marriage basically for fear that it would lead to the elderly not being cared for.

It's more complicated than that, but it feels like it should be a real concern as India westernizes.

There is one guy building vim-mode-plus on atom and it feels way better than the vim plugin of vs code. Also, atom has seen pretty solid performance improvements recently. It now doesn't have much lag for me when I'm working with Elixir.

There aren't a lot of places that are embracing truly end-to-end encryption for the masses. I think it would be tough in the U.S. but it's not clear to me where the better place.

I recently switched back and Firefox has been much more responsive. It feels great all the time now. I was using Brave for a while, but suddenly performance took a hard dive.

Didn't we have an article on HN last month that said IBM claims remote workers work harder and longer with more loyalty?

We also had an article that said their marketing dept. was killing remote workers.

I think it might succeed because it's built on Android with Android apps.

You're missing his point. Prices steadily go up as demand increases so suppliers bring on more (expensive) capacity to meet. You never get to the failure point unless demand exceeds all possible supply capacity. He just took this argument to the extreme.

I spent 30 minutes looking at NIF, but I was scared away. My understanding is that if the NIF crashes then BEAM crashes. Which leads me to think that if you need NIF then you need safety guarantees on the Native side that C can't provide.

I agree with you on it being a painpoint.

Is this a web router as well? I think they hinted at that, but it was a little unclear to me. Also, is it really true that react native apps have routing that is too complex for a URI? I can't think of a reason why that is immediately true.

Should rich kids make an effort to help poor kids feel welcome, yes. However, the net feelings of everybody at Harvard should be excitement for the probably awesome future that they have after college and focus on getting the education that will make that more likely.

One part that seems weird is:

If we truly want to help people who are coming out of prison or to keep people from going to prison, then we need a public-sector expansion with real jobs that pay a living wage, not the contingent kind that pay a minimum wage.

What kind of jobs would these be? Construction, administration, or what? It's not clear how the public sector creates hundreds of thousands of meaningful jobs. I don't count the TSA as meaningful, BTW.

My experience with cygwin never "Just works". WSL needs to hit a much higher bar if they are going to seduce the people who use macOS because it's a better linux.
