Coding is one activity within the software development process, and I agree, I don't think those activities have been separated by job title in a long time. Most people do some of everything.

Which is why it's so strange that people would suddenly rally around this term, rather than "programmer" or "developer" or "software engineer" which encompass the full range of what they're doing, and instead choose to cheapen it by calling out the least intellectually challenging step.

You could argue that source code in a contemporary high-level language is a software design, and compilers/interpreters have grown sophisticated enough to eliminate the need for human grunt work.
Yesterday I was putzing around with these exact batteries (swapping some old tooling that had great build quality but were NiCad junk). Those 18650s pack a punch as current sources. I had an ammeter hooked up and we're talking easily in the 10s of amps for a brushed DC motor of your standard cordless Milwaukee from the 1990s.

I did the same to fix one of those $40 dollar Swiffers (i.e., we're not really talking about powering industrial steel chop-saws powering through I-beams). It drew ~2.5 amps at no-load, no problem.

OSHA[1]:

"17-90mA" : Death is possible.

"90mA+" : Death is likely.

And remember breakers blow only when the sub-circuit's current exceeds the threshold (generally ~15amps in the US) so you can spec a standard gauge of wiring sufficient to consistently draw that current, not overheat and burn your house down. It's (generally) not checking to see if the current sunk = current sourced. You need GFCIs("RCD"s in other locales) to actually get that functionality.

The rule of thumb I've heard is 50mA passing through your heart is where the v-fib dangers begin. The real risk begins at as low as 20mA, because thats when your hands lose their muscular control. You can't let go of the source, and your heart enters v-fib (~100 mA) and you get oxygen starvation and brain death[3]. You have tales of people using one hand to support themselves on a grounded breaker box, using the other hand to just have a look-see, and not even realizing they're in v-fib, feeling a little 'off', sitting down for a bit to catch their breath and found dead 20 minutes later next to the box.

Your body basically acts as a resistor in parallel with the circuit. Here's the ASME's resistance model of an adult males' body[2]. As you can see, you're body is definitely not a 10meg resistor. If you're working in damp, humid, or hot (i.e., you're perspiring through your hands, and that Na+ is just looking for a donor electron!), the risk increases. Whether you're working on a 460v3ph 15 horsepower Hardinge lathe or a Swiffer, the best piece of advice I ever got was "have a healthy respect (and fear) for your tools". Use isolation transformers, current limiters, and CAT-rated gear and read a sufficient amount of information to inform yourself in advance of the potential risks[4].

[3] Brain death I've always heard is ~5 minutes for an average adult male with a decent pulmonary system and respiration capacity-- less if you're a couch potato with less lung VO2 capacity, more if you're Lance Armstrong. Obviously not a physician.

[4] I was googling to pick find a diagram to depict the resistance model of a human and stumbled across Allaboutcircuit's safety text (chapter 3, for those who are wondering). It's pretty good for "general" electronics. Obviously if you're working with things like tubes ('valves'), transformers, and other subsets, you're going to want to read about the safety precautions you want to take for those specific areas as well.
Yeah, more hot dogs.
> Just buy the high speed/high charge capable ones and you're set.

That would seem to be true except for connecting a Thunderbolt 3 monitor. From the parent's linked article:

> Thunderbolt 3 runs longer than 18-inches can be passive or active. The passive ones have lower speed, with the max data rate hitting about 20Gbit/second at two meters of cable length. However, active cables contain transceivers to regulate the data transfer through the cable. At the same two meters, speed is still at the maximum of 40Gbit/second. Passive cables maintain USB 3.1 type-C compatibility. Active ones do not. [emphasis added]

That seems like a valid issue to me, not "hysteria".
My understanding is that their objection is to having a black box AI that can make or break a hire. What's to stop them from not hiring anyone because "the box said no"? What's to stop the hiring process from being entirely composed of the black box, with nobody knowing what it takes to beat? Sure you have the skills and experience, but unfortunately your facial pattern makes you seem impersonal. Don't worry, they'll keep you on file just in case.
Last time I was interviewing for jobs I took the lowest of my 3 offers. There were several reasons for this, I will refer to the accepted offer as A and other offers as B and C.

1) Large corporation vs small corporation, offers B and C were for very large corporations (one private and one public) and I took job A because I do not enjoy bureaucracy.

2) Challenge. Offer B was a job I felt I could already do 100% and everything I really wanted to do was offered as a "maybe if things go the right way you'll get to build something cool." Offer C seemed challenging, but was a different direction for my career. Offer A offered as much challenge as I was willing to accept and was very aligned with my career goals.

3) Flexibility. Offer B - no work from home until after a year, but even then it's not guaranteed and at most once a week. Offer C - it seemed like people were only allowed to work from home when there was a state of emergency/snow-closures, etc. Offer A - we are as flexible as possible, we are more concerned with getting the work done.

Also worth noting, I was the youngest person on staff when I was hired at company A. At B and C there were tons of people my age - I think this is why they had a worse work/life balance. I'm single and no kids, but most people I work with are pretty established in that regard. I believe I benefit a lot from the fact that my older coworkers won't accept crappy work/life balance.

4) Connecting with people. I definitely connected with those at company A moreso than those at company B and C. I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that at companies B and C people were just going through the motions during the hiring process, so it felt very robotic.

Also, while interviewing at company A it was very acceptable to discuss the displeasures of working at public corporations (I was able to have a very blunt convo with a CxO during my interview - and we commiserated a bit on our non-optimal experiences working at them).
Would be nice to say what version of Node.js.

Depends on where you live. I live in the NW where it rains for 9 months of the year and the other three months there are tons of rivers and lakes. All I really need to forage for water is a bucket and a purification system.

But I feel bad for people in places like Las Vegas and much of Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, etc. where foraging for water means death.
You essentially agree with me. Aborting with a stack trace is still an abort. It doesn't need to be catchable.

What surprised me was that the GBC didn't abruptly crash.

For something as critical as a memory chip going missing I would have expected either an abrupt halt due to inconsistent circuitry, or a halt on the next read to the ROM's addressable memory. That the CPU instructions would gracefully fall back to interpreting memory as zeros was unexpected to me. Although I don't know much about electronics.

Do you think this would work on other consoles, such as the NES? Given how finicky the NES is about the cartridge loading mechanism, I would think that cart removal while a game is running would cause the system to go into that panic mode with the power light flashing.
I would guess that's what HN says. I am, however, an ancient -- by the measures of HN anyways -- frequent flier who really likes the current safety record of commercial flight.

With Uber, it is understandable venture capitalists funded a fantastic trick shamelessly called "sharing economy", rolling back most advances labor achieved in a century. But with flying safety is too important for a similarly illegal company to get anywhere.

Or in other words, breaking the law gets somewhere with the taxi industry because they are relatively small and weak but good luck trying to break the federal regulations set by the FAA. Many tried to be creative already but they didn't get anywhere and that was just getting creative with existing planes. I will get the popcorn as you people try to disrupt the freakin' FAA -- and even if Thiel and the like can get Trump / GOP led Congress to intervene, there's the EASA as well.

For that's the really expensive part. You can build an app and release it (probably full of bugs) for real cheap and disrupt an industry (spits) but building a plane to such exacting standard as these authorities demand is a different world that techbros will find impenetrable, and, again, thanks God for that. And don't tell me they are not, here's the photo: https://boomsupersonic.com/assets/team-page-hero-photo-cdf15... there's a grand total of two women and one black man on the pic among, I didn't bother to count how many white techbros.
I've been doing exactly that for exactly that reason. It's worked pretty well.

> You don't have to worry about JS scoping rules or how `this` works, or how ES6 classes are ultimately prototype-based

I don't worry about these things. I feel like I'm writing a lot less JavaScript these days, mostly through the power of React, JSX, and ES6. I only really use Typescript to type DTOs. I just don't have enough problems to scrap everything for a completely new language.

I'm in the UK and when I graduate I'd like to eventually become a remote developer in London (or somewhere else if the money is good).

The problem here for the US is that nobody sane actually believes the universal standard some US judges insists exist, as a lot of commercial activity(as in pretty much every tech company in the US's non-US revenue) depends on the US respecting the view that no US court have universal jurisdiction.

This makes it extremely problematic if the US start going after a NZ citizens who have been cleared of the alleged crime by a NZ court.

But the way he communicates eliminates ambiguity and allows the conversation to stay on topic. As soon as you try to express things "very simply", the conversation quickly degrades into an almost meaningless argument about things the participants do not (and, worse yet, do not wish to make a serious effort to) understand - which is exactly what we see here.

Yes, Clojure(script)'s REPL experience is really amazing. I don't think there are any general-purpose languages (beside Common Lisp) actively being used today that even come close in comparison. What's comes with Python, Ruby, C#, JavaScript, etc. - is a feeble attempt of an interactive shell, those aren't really REPLs. Even with Haskell I was really surprised to find out that you can't "send" any selected piece of Haskell code onto GHCI.

"Unfortunately, generators and iterators are synchronous. Unless we’re willing to read our entire file into memory, they can’t help us."

This doesn't seem to follow to me. Synchronous reading means you have to read a given chunk in before you can process it, which means that if you're not reading out of cache that you're going to stall on the spinning disk, but synchronous code doesn't require you to read the whole file at once. And you can easily write something that will process it into nice lines for you. The "standard library" may not do that because there isn't much standard library for Javascript, but it's not that hard.

The proof is, that's what the Python snippet is doing. It's built into Python in this case, and I would expect it does some magic internal stuff to accelerate this common case (in particular doing some scanning at the C level to see how long of a Python string to allocate once, instead of using Python-level string manipulation), but the API ought to be one you can do in Node, even synchronously, with generators.
Low frequencies are such a zen inducing thing. Same goes for planes (minus the AC). I even add a sample of my laptop fan through a headset mic, the sound was shitty but it felt like plane sound, and I played for the calming/focus effects

Why forage when you can easily store thousands of dense nonperishable calories at home? Heading out to the woods to pick a bucket of low calorie leafy greens seems like the last thing you want to be doing in a disaster.

Dodged a bullet there. I just cannot see how Immelt, whose claim to fame is putting billions into GE Digital (search for previous HN conversations of GE's software efforts for if you want to laugh/cry) would have been any use to a young company fighting in a hyper-competitive space, where the outcomes range from "world domination" and "collapse into nothingness". Immelt's track record is working within a large, established bureaucracy, and maybe keeping things from completely falling apart.

I scored a 7/7!

We also score a 1 on the Joel test, and that's because I helped setup a version control server soon after arrival. We could score around a 4-5 if the emergency project I'm working on to switch platforms ever hit production, but it's been nearly a year of "it's a month away, you need to scramble to get it done in time or the company goes under".

I wonder if perhaps I should start looking for new employment or something....
Our dog absolutely loves carrots -- if you dare to eat a carrot near him, you won't hear the end of it until he's had one too.

We stopped making homemade (meat) treats for him in favor of just keeping a baggie of small carrots in the fridge. It's still hilarious to me, but he just goes crazy for them, time and time again. I'm not sure if it's just the crunch, or maybe the 'social factor' of him watching my wife eat them, but he truly adores a healthy carrot snack/treat. =)
You are not likely to get an answer. This is a style of comment that is quite common in discussions where there are philosophical issues. The defining features are an assertion that someone is wrong, followed by a long list of general references, with the unstated implication that the alleged error will be corrected somewhere within them. The authors of such comments are careful not to take a position that can be debated, and in this case, the comment's author has been especially careful in avoiding giving clues that might indicate specifically what he objects to.

This style is also seen in discussions where religion is raised, where it is used to avoid questions like why an omnipotent and benevolent creator thought smallpox was a good idea.
It might be crossing into the prepper territory too much

Bah, a 2m radio is useful for more than EOW scenarios. I used mine just this past week during the eclipse thingy. No cell connection where we were at, but I could hear the local repeater and could make simplex contacts. Found out that Madras, OR was just as much of a goat rodeo as predicted, and just general chat. Had we had an emergency, I would have used the DeLorme (now Garmin) InReach satellite communicator, but probably would have tried to raise someone on the radio as well. And the InReach still relies on some infrastructure being in place (so I assume). Even if it all goes to hell, one radio will always be able to talk to another that's in range (which won't be but a few miles with a handheld, prolly 20 max).

For other camping scenarios, I've found the radio handy for getting the local lay of the land from time to time.

If one wants to purchase a radio, take the minimal time and effort to get a license. Sure, you can transmit in emergency situations, but that won't do you a damned bit of good if you don't know how to get the repeater to retransmit your signal, or what the calling frequencies are, or what all those buttons on the radio do. Take a class or read a book, get the license, know what the hell you're doing. There's a reason amateur radio operation is licensed, and it's not just to get $50 out of you every ten years.
Occasional greens are OK for cats, but do NOT feed them carbohydrates; and especially do not feed them carbs regularly. Cats are obligate carnivores, and the grains that are common in cheap pet food contribute to kidney disease.
Possibly, but if that's what you need to do to survive you will. Finding and maintaining access to (aka defending) a water source is one of the most challenging parts of survival. Primarily because it locks you into a location if you let it and a quality source is a huge draw for populations - obviously.

In scenarios where you're out of municipal water a few days like is happening right now in Houston (Myself and my family have been through Allison, Rita, Ike and now Harvey) then having a water cache for a week is reasonable, though really hard to do, but that's really not what we're talking about.
Author seems to lack an understanding of what constitutes an equation or a conditional.
You need a license to operator all 2m/70cm radios on non GMRS/FRS frequencies. However FCC suspends those rules in the case of emergencies[1].

Dogs yeah, they're omnivores as far as I understand.

Cats though are straight up carnivore, and while they might enjoy the taste of some veggies, and some stuff can help with their digestion, they don't really get much nutrients out of vegetables, and a large portion of veggies are downright harmful to them.
You need a license to operate anything on 2m (or 70cm), which is what the original question referenced.
The last thing you want to forage for in a survival scenario are greens - no competent authority would suggest that. Cattails, tubers and the like are basically worst case scenario.
The whole idea with the (modern, democratic) state is that certain task are delegated and exclusive to the state.

Revenge and killing people is for instance delegated to the judicial system, the police, and the military. Without it we would be back to tribal wars.

For one, apple has killer margins on its phones, whereas they do not. Even comparing among android phone manufacturers, they're worse in terms of market share and profitability (as opposed to Samsung, for instance). Their only selling point their $/performance, which will surely disappear when their VC subsidy runs out. "leaders" aren't underdogs. "leaders" don't sell discounted phones at a loss.

I can't say i know the js ecosystem very well, but vue.js does seem to be the fastest growing MVVC framework (at least in the realm of logic-in-tags languages). But the problem I see is that javascript frameworks come and go, and it could very well drop off a cliff in a year or two after the next hottest thing comes out. Is it a leader? Sure, for now...

I agree advertising certainly has a place and tradeoffs. It's seems more like a cost shifting, less direct, obfuscated payment terms model than 'free'.
