I put that term in quotes because I have similar misgivings but I haven't found another term that really captures what I'm talking about.

>it was absolutely a part of growing up - first computers, then mobile phones.

You're correct but missing an important difference, it was a _part_ of our coming of age but for people who are on the younger side of millennials it wasn't a "part" of their world, they were literally soaked in it from birth. There is difference between, "I got my first computer at home when I was 10 and then I remember a few years later when we got dial-up and then when I was 15 I got a flip phone." and, "The internet was a given in my home, computers existed everywhere, and I got a phone at 10."

This is why we need Ethics Boards in software engineering.
That's not even true. They may be bad at reading social cues (ie face expressions) but would respond to direct communication about the need to focus on work.
This isn't to defend against a malicious user crafting requests, it's to defend against a malicious site tricking the user's browser into making an authenticated request. Said malicious site can't set those headers.

Edit: I think I misread your comment and you're not arguing that checking origin/referrer isn't enough for security, but rather that it will block legitimate, privacy-conscious users.

Using a CSRF token is a valid alternative, and it's mentioned just below in the article.

Technology professionals are well-aware of what information is gathered and how it's used, but I don't think the broad public understands at all. Terms and conditions are still bogged-down piles of text that nobody reads, and the leaders of the big tech firms still dodge many questions directed at them by members of congress, the media, and the public at large.

> Advertising algorithms are amoral tools put into this world by amoral entities.

Are you saying that social media companies aren't subject to moral and ethical scrutiny? I'm really confused by this statement.
> If something or someone is causing a problem for me one method to rectify it is to simply ask them to help.

I'd go further, as someone who makes products used by people I'd be thrilled if a user shared their experience with my product in such a fashion! Even if the experience is bad, at least I'd know about and have the chance to fix it. Worst case is people having bad experiences with my product and me being clueless.

I understand that in this case this particular issue is probably known and ignored, but still, inferring "entitlement" from people who share feedback seems like a step in the wrong direction.
"I think it's a bit obscene to compare this situation to software engineering."

I've got a very cush job, and I can totally identify with what you're saying here.

One feature of that comparison you're critiquing, however, is very important.

A lot of us working in IT who have cushy jobs imagine that our interests are more aligned with the owning classes instead of with the working folks who are doing really painful jobs.

I don't agree with that view, and I feel that a lot of the callous and dismissive "no one is forcing them to work" comes from the fact that many people don't understand that at their core, the ideas that lead working people to have power of how they work affect everyone who is employed by the people who own businesses.

So while I agree that my working conditions are much, much better than any warehouse workers, fundamentally if I am going to stand in solidarity with them I need to understand that my interests are served by the same things that serve their interests, because we both labor for a business instead of owning a business.

To return the comment your criticizing, you have a reasonable point that working conditions for people who "engineer" are much better than those that move boxes.

At the same time, I feel like understanding that those folks moving boxes have the same underlying interests as those of use moving bits is completely necessary to understanding how we can move towards a world where your laudable premise that "technology should free the people, not enslave it to machines" can be treated descriptively instead of just normatively.
It always amazes me how stupid these company's algos are sometimes.

Amazon tells me I've had an account with them for over a decade. It knows I've bought 2 kettles from them. When does it start serving ads for kettles? Just after I've bought one.

On the other hand I'm not sure most people would want facebook wt al 'knowing' they've just lost their child, so other than getting rid of targetted ads, I'm not sure what other solution is best.
> this is not a license

Yes, it is: express permission from the rights holder to do something covered by their exclusive rights is a license.

The wording is casual, but that doesn't make it not a license.
I don't talk about cycling but about public transport.
I think the same thing. I got tired of just liking pictures on IG.
I created a side project which sends me email reminders for friends I want to keep in touch with, but are not in my everyday, close circle. Every email has a direct link to Whatsapp, which opens directly into my friend's chat with a pre-set message('Hi!'). It helped me reconnect and start real conversations beyond double tapping a picture.
"The Red Hills MOA is relatively large, including areas of both Illinois and Indiana. We don't know if the MOA was active at the time the plume appeared on radar, but it might help explain the incident."

The military releases "notices to airmen" (NOTAMs?) indicating when a MOA is in use, no?
Is that really a good idea? A miner's incentive is to overclock the cards and run them as hard as they can before dumping the nearly fried hardware on some unsuspecting sucker. No way to check whether they've been run in reasonable temperature and voltage ranges, and no warranty either. That seems like a gamble, but I suppose that's why they're cheaper.

Definitely planning to see what AMD has coming. I'd like to have the Mac + eGPU option open when my Wintendo kicks the bucket, and AMD are the only ones supporting that right now.
I had an obscure machine called an Interact[1]. It had a built-in tape drive, and my issue with that was the read head kept getting out of alignment. I had to regularly adjust it. (Probably because I transported it to friends' houses in a wagon.)

My first hardware hack was cutting the trace to the HLT line on the 8080A CPU and wiring up to a toggle switch to act as a pause button.

Also good times. :)

Thanks for your responses @here, I'm a little surprised by this b/c I kind of hate Slack (mostly b/c of having to have a separate account for each org you work with), but I'll give it a second look. Anyone think the paid version offers any value for a team? Also anyone look at Rocket Chat?
This premise was very far off, and cost effectiveness is key to the design rationale - do you think this impacts upon the utility and attractiveness of Loki?
Military tech, from an engineering standpoint, is always cool. Everything from aerodynamic designs to software control systems. But that's looking at the finished products.

A project on the other hand must be hell on earth. I can't imagine the level of bureaucracy needed to get anything done, or that the average engineer has any say on anything.
Except infrastructure is awful in solidly blue states as well as red states. What "conservative politicians" are to blame for the NYC subway falling apart? I think you've got the causation backward. There's a bigger "market" for anti-government rhetoric in the U.S. than in Europe because the governmental units closest to the people here are so awful.
By good diet, I mean higher intake in fruits and vegetables, moderate intake in meats. Stay away from high processed foods with excessive sugar, fat, and sodium. It shouldn't take a decade of research to figure that out unless your diet is completely strict due to specific ailments.
I generally agree with you about government being not inherently trustworthy just because a town is small. However, I think small town governments are generally less bad than larger town/city governments just because of the reduced number of people represented per elected official.

I've lived in small and smallish towns in four states and pay attention to local politics because I was raised to do that.

Local culture is the dominant term in the equation by a mile. How effective and efficient government is a reflection of how effective and efficient people (some of whom make up the government) expect it to be. A "highly competent" government from New Jersey would have people talking about tar and feathers in Maine.

Within a given state it seems like government effectiveness is inversely correlated with population and wealth. The more money you have the easier it is to justify pissing some of it away on boondoggle projects. The more people you have the less accountability there is.

Another thing I've noticed is that in the smaller government states the middle class poor don't hate the state government as much because it doesn't affect them as much or as often.
The job market might have been terrible 5 years ago, but this is not the case today. 3.7% unemployment in the U.S. Lowest since 1969.
Counterpoint: IG allows you to curate an online photo album about yourself and either broadcast it to the world or distribute it to a permissioned list, and this has significant value for many people.

It also has intrinsic negative value for many, in the way outlined by the author (and also described by the seminal Wait but Why post [0]). People see their friends posting snapshots of their nominally awesome lives and feel pressure to keep up, and basically everyone makes each other more miserable by generating FOMO in others, etc.

I'm not saying that this sehnsucht-generation isn't real, or that it doesn't mess some people up -- it is and it does. But if we're judging IG on its overall merits the downside has to be weighed against the fact that IG helps people learn about each other through a pretty elegant interface -- right?

Also, the author seems to be eliding the differences between a) best practices for building and monetizing an IG following as an influencer with a public-facing account and b) the general stress of 'keeping up with' your college classmates:

> We can talk about free or paid apps, ads or donations, we can talk about tipping and buy me a coffee, or patreon subscriptions. We can talk about all of that, or we can get to the heart of what really matters. Things that are easy to do, aren't always the best things for us.

By my reading, in this passage he is conflating the measures IG influencers take to help themselves make money on Instagram with the stress and angst that IG users who are not trying to make a living off of IG posts feel with respect to keeping up with their high school classmates and whatnot. Seems like a pretty clear category-mistake to me.

I use notepad replacer (https://www.binaryfortress.com/NotepadReplacer/) to make vscode my default editor. I usually have vscode running so there's no noticeable startup time to worry about or garbled text when a file uses non carriage return line endings.

I've used this method with other editors including notepad++, editpad and sublime and have never encountered an issue.
Don't be torn on the RTX line, be practical. The RTX 3080 or RTX 4080 will be amazing. By that time they'll have fixed the initial performance issues and software will be generally available that actually takes advantage of it.
Now's a great time to find a used 1080 or two for cheap.

Don't buy the first generation of anything unless you've got money to burn. Get the second or third.
> It takes a lot for a company to lose nearly half its value in such a short period of time, but Nvidia is proving that an otherwise strong technology business can disappear in a blink of an eye.

Conflating the stock price with the company's business/book value multiple times seems like probably not an accident for a financial reporter. Is there some agenda here to frame/spin the story this way?
Home Prices Collapse Might Trigger a “Financial-Institution Crisis” in Australia
I didn't have any ulterior motive behind not addressing your other points; mainly I just wanted to share my perspective on things that I actually have experience with. I'll take a stab at a response now.

first of all, mandatory tipping at a coffee shop or takeout place is dumb. afaik, these are not legally considered tipped positions and the employer is not usually allowed to count tips toward minimum wage. that said, I certainly recommend you throw a little extra in their tip jar if they actually provide outstanding service.

> Do you tip any of the people i mentioned? Because, frankly a garbage men's services are way more useful and needed than a servers. Why do servers deserve a tip and not people working at clothing store? Or people working at Walmart?

I don't claim that the tipping system is inherently moral or immoral. my claim is that it is a practical way to align incentives in a particular set of situations. in a restaurant, the difference between acceptable and great service is quite large. if I'm handling several tables, I'm usually going to get to the tables that tip well first. I'm going to make sure they're not in the middle of a deep conversation when I go over to check if the food is okay. there are tons of subtle things that a skilled server can do to improve your dining experience if they are incentivized.

garbage men, on the other hand, either pick up your trash or they don't. idk what the difference between a good and a great garbage collector is, maybe the great one takes the time to leave my can sitting upright? a cashier can ring you up fast or take their time, but can't really affect your experience other than that.

I do actually agree that maybe some retail positions should be tipped. I find that usually Walmart employees don't give a shit whether I find everything I'm looking for. occasionally one of them is super helpful and saves me 30min or more of hunting around the store. in these situations I try to slip them a couple bills. if they refuse, I make sure to find their supervisor on the way out and explain that they made the store a lot more money by helping me find my things.
It would make sense if these are more like your example, straight up models for crazy fashion ideas.... that aren't used.

I was thinking these were more along the lines of styles that people actually wore at the upper levels of society, but at least were still styles that most of those folks wore at that time.
Not necessarily. It may be that the current ecosystem works as well or better than Nuclide did, so there's no longer a positive value proposition there for continuing.
$80 bucks... uh no.
Worked at a small regional telco in the 90's. Many of our customers were in the 810 area code and one day a minor change was made in the call records they read into the billing system. It started interpreting 81 as a country code and tried to bill people for calling Japan. Fortunately IIRC this was caught before the bills went out.
This was true when I was doing it in grad school in 2000ish as well. I would not be surprised if it was true long before that and will remain so long after today.
Look, there's nothing more American than exploitation of the working masses. Don't try to blame this on nationality.
It's a sort of anecdote called a "story", written on someone's personal blog. I too am astounded at the lack of dry, dispassionate reporting that I've come to expect from the otherwise dour, yet gripping world, of personal blogs.
I went in for an interview recently for the react core team and the guy who interviewed me said Facebook was trying to edge away from open source. He mentioned it’s not worth it to them as much as it was before. Too much to maintain.
Yeah, this is what I mean by that I don't 100% understand all the nuances. I mean, I understand what that feature does, but given that Rust's system works quite differently, I'm not 100% sure what an exact translation would be.
Ask HN: How to improve code quality at a new job?
I recently was hired to a new position as a senior developer (probably in the upper 1/3 of seniority) and found that their code quality is kind of abysmal. The code base is pretty sizable and has a bunch of issues: one giant project with all the code in it, very few unit tests, 15 levels of interfaces for single objects, stuff like that. I want to bring it up to my boss and try to push the team toward better practices but I'm not sure what the right way to do this is. I'm not sure whether it's from a lack of knowledge on the part of the team or an old cold base that they just keep iterating on. It's not really feasible to suggest they stop doing new work in order to fix all these problems. Does anybody have experience in a situation like this? What's the right way to push overall code quality in the right direction?
Am I the only one turned off by the very poor grammar on a post about writing a book? Are you writing the book in English?
Prioritizing current news might be annoying, but it can't be a filter bubble, as we aren't talking of personalisation.

Basically I would be interested in a sample where say a democrat gets different opinion pieces versus a republican, on the same search query.

I feel that such samples could exist, but I haven't witnessed such instances in my daily use.
A renewed pledge to keep all our user’s charts online
Rendora uses internally cdp https://github.com/mafredri/cdp, a golang client implementation for "Chrome Devtools Protocols" which works on top of websockets, when Rendora detects a witelisted request, it instructs the headless Chrome instance using cdp to render the corresponding page and waits for the DOM load event, after that the content of the page is copied to rendora and then returned back to the client while preserving HTTP headers and status code.

It's all about using the chrome-devtools-protocol, if you are interested, you may want to read about it in https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/1-2

>If the “initial render” of client side code involves JavaScript mounting nodes on the DOM

That's the raison d'être of rendora, if your website doesn't add DOM nodes using some javascript framework (e.g. React, Vue, etc..)in client, basically the HTML will be exactly the same and thus you don't need rendora in that case

> The problem isn’t politics itself. It’s dysfunction, aka “dark patterns” aka antisocial behavior.

One thing I commonly see and wouldn't consider antisocial behavior is the competition for promotions. In smaller companies this may be multiple people who want to become managers/leads of a team. In larger companies, this could be members of the same team both wanting the more impactful or difficult projects.

I'm not really sure what you can do about that though. This just seems like a consequence of judging people based on their past work as opposed to their potential or ability. I'm not sure one could actually find a means to measure ability without looking at past work, especially for something as abstract as managing or programming.
You probably aren't. That's highly suspicious behavior that isn't hard for the ad networks like Google to detect and they'll just refund any costs as fraudulent activity.
It's kind of funny that most of the people that recognized that the headline unemployment number wasn't a complete picture of the job market when Obama was President have somehow forgotten that since late January of 2017.

Perhaps more important than Nuclide itself are the Atom IDE extensions which are also being retired. https://ide.atom.io/
I could not care less about an actual product. I just want them to convince AMD and Arm that they might be delivering a Moore's law equivalent performance improvement.
> NVidia may have focused on the high end too much.

seems to me like they're making products available at all sorts of price points. i'm not an mba, but that strikes me as a good idea.

not making quite enough mid-level products is unfortunate, but since that was temporary, it wouldn't have made sense for them to invest in increased production.

(they should've abandoned the MSRP and just reverse auctioned inventory to the retailers, so that they could capture the value of their products, instead of letting folks selling on ebay get it.)

> They have a card for the machine learning crowd that costs $16,000

they have hardware that costs way more than that.

Seeing this kind of abandoned equipment really fuels the imagination.

What if it was actually aliens, or some secret cabal planning to use it for rogue space wars, and just renting the space from the soviets? Maybe a leader like Khan Noonien Singh and his followers actually launched themselves on a sleeper ship undetected, with plans to return in 20 more years and defeat us all? What did that last person leaving think on his way out, tuning off the lights, knowing he wouldn't be back tomorrow?
Multiple return values are useful in other ways; do you see them as a problem in general, or only error cases?
Can Penguins Fly? (Machine Learning Data Set Preparation, Part 3)
I think if it's on Show HN, there's an implicit assumption that one is interested in the question "what's the most critical feedback, right or wrong, I can get?"

JS and load time commenters represent a particular demographic within HN which may not necessarily represent mainstream opinion, so no need to get worked up over them. Just recognize them for what they are, mentally filter them out, and move on to other more insightful comments.
There's already multiple extensions that support this.
My response was to

> Why not be honest and direct?"
Every time the ruling party switches, followers of both parties warp into parallel universes with entirely different realities. Same thing happens for Democrats and their opinions of foreign military adventures. It's an unnecessary war when a Republican is in office, but it's a "peacekeeping mission" or a "humanitarian mission" when a Democrat is in office.
Their customers are IaaS providers. That would be extremely dangerous for them and a step too far probably. I have hope they'll get back into mobile eventually with the advent of Windows-on-ARM.

Their focus right now is rightly on the AI software stack. That's where the value is going to be generated in the future decade and NVDIA needs to make sure all that value is generated using their platform. There are so many verticals that will be buying products, so much money to be made. They're also heavily investing in autos, but tbh that's just 1 vertical and imo not even the most exciting one.

Verticals like healthcare, restaurants, home robot servants, logistics, photography, constructions, are even more exciting and lucrative.
A shame, in an ideal world there would be the benefit of outside contributions that made less internal work needed, so overall would be a win for Facebook. But probably this is related to Atom itself being taken over by VSCode, the number of users (and maybe contributors) appears to be going down. I wonder if Atom Xray will ever come out https://github.com/atom/xray
