I’ve done much the same, but I’m curious if you have any other insights to share?

I’ve mostly settled into a place with a good pay rate-to-work expectations ratio, but I’ve also contemplated optimizing for pay alone.

“Now That Should Clear Up A Few Things Around Here” Just has to be the most applicable to software development, assuming that’s what most folks around here are into.

My experiences on the A380 have been particularly quiet and (in the configurations I’ve flown, if there are multiple) comfortable and spacious as well.

In fact it might the only aircraft model that my wife knows by its designation, due to how good her experiences on it have been.

Until the parked vehicles also become taller

I have never been a cynic until recently.

"Maybe a recession is forthcoming?" Better 'can a bunch of people just in case it happens to be so.

"Maybe LLMs will reduce programming needs?" Better 'can a bunch of people just in case it happens to be so.

I can adapt to an increased level of cynicism, even to the point it informs my concrete career decisions.

But this level of bad faith itself must do some damage to the economy, mustn't it? There must be some concrete value that would be generated by increasing good faith between employers and employees, musn't there be?

If one were in charge of feature design at a prominent job posting website, how would you brainstorm to detect ghost job listings, even if only probabilistically?

If this means that job postings make for poor wage research data, as the abstract claims, then researchers should use The Work Number! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29834753

I bet my cat drinks 500% more water since getting him this fountain, as compared to a still bowl of water.

It’s cute and adorable (the fountain is a bit silly looking), and I have to assume it’s good for him.

And to guard against power outages, I got him a separate fountain with an open top, so in a pinch at least he had some standing water.

“Not responsible for black eye if something falls from your vehicle and damages my vehicle.”

Same here - we have a cat right now who is remarkably adept at precisely blocking the middle 1/3 of the tv where the captions are displayed.

I always had in my back pocket a goal to learn OpenTelemetry, but some recent unfavorable HN commentary left me surprised and deflated.

I wouldn’t mind reading some more critical review. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37295097

I wonder if electric cars were to approach the maximum range that most people would ever want to drive in a day, about double the stated range of the current longer-ranged cars, if that might trigger a rather profound and sudden tipping point.

Who cares how quickly they charge if you’re stopping to sleep for the night anyway?

I can’t figure out the meaning of the linked page, but the name is compelling.

Would someone be willing to add a bit of explanation here?

I understand. I did stay in one place where a bulldozer dug a trench and broke the line to the place. It was repaired in a day, and I just rolled with as something that happens in life.

Rather than an ironclad guarantee that the internet will 100% stay functional, more precisely what I want is a guarantee that the host will be approximately as responsive to outages as I myself would be were it my own internet at my own home, which is the best that anyone can realistically do.

I suppose if someone’s internet went down for weeks I might have to opt out of the reservation, which isn’t totally fair to the host if it’s not their fault and it’s beyond their control.

But also that has never happened, and it similarly wouldn’t be totally fair to me if the internet were to go down at my own home and I had to rent a coworking space for an extended period.

My personal background is that I’ve lived in airbnbs for >3 yrs full time around the pandemic.

Early in my experience, I had the internet crap out at one place and the host wasn’t responsive to fixing it, so I petitioned Airbnb support to cancel my reservation.

They did so on the grounds that I had happened to ask the host about the quality of their WiFi prior to booking and was assured that it would be solid.

Since then, I always make a point to give the host a minor 3rd degree about the WiFi quality prior to booking, and have gone years without major trouble.

Hotel WiFi reliability has improved greatly during that time, but I need some sort of explicit guarantee from them before I would make the transition to more hotel stays.

If hotels were to explicitly promise “home-grade” Internet service then they would seal the deal for me.

They’ve improved a lot in recent years but I’d still want to have that explicit guarantee.

Then surely there must be competition or a record for “tallest ever,” hopefully requiring each layer to be functional.

Any idea what the efficiency loss might be?

I’m sure the loss is very high, but maybe could be overcome with ample solar inputs?

Read this article early in my programming career, and it really stuck with me. However I've come to prefer programming languages that describe the nouns better and better, so I'm interested to see what the HN crowd might make of this article in 2023.

Once had a coworker advocate for microservices because "you split everything into separate services and they all just work" quote, unquote. I've wondered ever since how typical that mindset might be whenever I hear anyone else pushing for similar such solutions.

Yeah just mirror the screen and audio directly from my phone.

I’ll guess that anything other than a small cruiser is going to be some combination of higher center of gravity + more weight, which just gets harder and harder to learn farther (accurately) at very low speeds.

Im pretty fond of C# as well, but pretty often the type system feels like it leaks like a sieve compared to F#.

Left Shopify just a few weeks ago, so I guess I missed out on the severance and on the surprise.

Big part of what drove me off was that the software project management (at least for my team) felt like someone was mashing on the control panel, figuratively.

OAuth document writers love abstract, lofty nomenclature for everything.

I like what you’ve done here with your explanation - I can practically envision a couple (or three!) literal sock puppets giving me this perfectly adequate overview.

I realized while working on heavy transport aircraft that they their weight can be (very roughly) 1/3 aircraft, 1/3 fuel, and 1/3 cargo, and being struck by how different these proportions are from the family sedan.

Bit of a tangent, but what issues might you mark Spain down on? I’m seriously eyeing their digital nomad visa.

Having stayed there 1-3 months at a time so far, it’s pretty hard to find fault.

I had basically this same thing happen a few years back. Dad mentioned he felt ill in an online chat and then that was it.

He lived in a podunk and traveled little throughout his life - I lived in a larger metro area with some world-class outdoors, and just by luck it turned out he loved coming out to visit.

So we had him out to visit over and over and over, and that traveling around with him is one of the things I’m most thankful to have done.

I guess I use ChatGPT similarly for Ruby and for Rust, but with the only difference being that in my mind I intend to “learn” those two.

I’ve been using it to generate bash scripts because I don’t know bash scripting, and also have it generate regexes for me to search for code references in a programming language where the “find all references” functionality don’ doesn’t work quite well.
