It's largely identical in enterprise programming.

I have a lovely and smart boss but I can not get him to look at stuff properly until after I roll out a potentially massive change to our internal ERP.

Real money on the line as well.

I think a lot of it is that non-programming managers don't really grok on the intrinsic level the vast complexity that can be under the skin of a seemingly simple change.

In fact that is largely our job I guess, to hide all that complexity, when a user selects "order following required stock from supplier" they don't need to know what is happening under neath, they just care about price and when it'll be delivered on a container to one of our sites.
Yeah it's nonsense. Having a separation between my work and personal life is a completely valid reason for having multiple online identities. There are plenty of other valid reasons. Obviously Mark would love us to be constrained to single username so that he can create a more complete profile for selling to advertisers. Data from a real name user is more valuable for correlation with other data sources. This "philosophy" is driven by the bottom line and nothing to do with "integrity".
There is a great movie on Netflix about this race by the same name. Definitely worth a watch.
I've written maps that I've regretted later. "map(+1, list)" isn't too bad. But as you chain things and/or put more in the lambda, it gets less comprehensible. Then, some cross cutting requirement comes in and you either need two map reduces or to just refactor to a loop.

No experience with D, but using Go a lot, and it is the same thing there with lack of metaprogramming.

Turns out everyone uses reflection instead to get anything done.

Not sure how much of a success that is.

I'm curious if anyone knows whether its safe to put a strong EM field so close to your brain, so often — evidence one way or the other. I use a battery powered clipper, in hopes it would have a weaker field than one powered by 120VAC.
Correct. A different part of the brain is used when learning a language past a certain age (I think 8 or 10 years old).
Pharo uses Git
I think the point is they don't need to work extra hours, just shift them so they are open during hours where other people aren't working.
As for privacy, I think it will serve to add more players to the data game, balancing the powers.

Until Facebook and Google each order seven million of them and place them all over town to monitor your personal activities, even when you're offline.
I once worked with someone who didn't understand the program stack whatsoever, leading to code that was (slowly but surely) infinitely recursive. Using flashcards to remember to use .put() versus .append() in some API is not really that person's path to 10x engineer.
I recently installed PS4RemotePlay on my iPad. This could have been an amazing product but it wasn't.

1. Why would I play games that were designed with a controller in mind of an iPad ? The controller scheme transition is not good.

2. Why would I want to use remote PS4 video or audio options were better quality offerings are available through the iPad directly.

Sony makes amazing hardware, but they never got their head around making great software.
Indeed. AOSP, SailfishX, easy to fetch some officially published repositories on GitHub, compact size devices (i.e. XZ2 Compact), decent tech specification and balanced "bloat" [1] on their smartphones is really compelling to me.

Sadly, competitors like Xiaomi (IMHO, one among the worst manufacturers [1]), Nokia HMD Global, Huawei, Samsung, Apple and many others do not give many opportunities to Sony Mobile be profitable business. I wish they will improve marketing and sales channel.

[1] Annoying telemetry that you cannot opt-out and does not care if your Internet uses mobile data or Wi-Fi. Ridiculous permission requirements for apps, i.e. Weather requires permission to make a phone call (https://en.miui.com/thread-1851703-1-1.html) and Calendar to send SMS messages.
The one thing I've been frustrated with using ActivityPub for blogs is that it is push based instead of get based like RSS. Basically it means that the responsibility is on the website owner to send out notifications for new content and maintain a database of subscribers instead of just publishing a feed that people can periodically download to check for new stuff.
Funny, ability to output fully functional Jetbrains configs is a core requirement for our early-stage corporate Go monorepo.
That's because your spouse isn't at home to do these things for you as they're either working or don't exist. Blame the concept of the nuclear family or rather the death of it.
> Election integrity is a media hysteria. Nobody is forcing anyone to vote in a particular way.

I think transparency is a real issue - knowing who is funding those adverts and campaigns and putting controls on campaign spending is important.

Sure, no-one is forcing you to vote a particular way. But if they can control what you see, here and know about an issue, they don't need to force you - do they?
The opening description has to be the most informative, amazing run-on sentence I've ever seen.

Space then enter, and only during a little time window during the boot sequence: it's not easy to hit accidentally. Oh, and it warns you that you are reenabling OS verification for each step.
This is truly interesting, but from a privacy perspective if mass adoption actually occurred, extremely worrying.

Not “inverse surveillance” as stated, but just surveillance in the hands of people. At mass deployment, mass surveillance accessible by anyone. Since when does that protect anyone’s privacy?
Having a unified identity guarantees that people are held accountable for what they say, it reduces fraud, trolling, and it means people have 'skin in the game' when participating in a social environment, it's the basis for trust.

Awesome. So you're going to change your HN username to your real name and put your address and phone number in your "about" section?
Yes I know. My point was the arrangement of the RGB dots that made up a region was different on CRT TVs to that of colour CRT monitors (ignoring the old terminals for now because they’re a different era of device entirely). That did have an effect on the sharpness of the image.

What I didn’t mention but is also worth noting is the quality of the input signal would have mattered as well. 8bit micro monitors, even in the 80s, generally took RGB input. Whereas any micro that output to a TV would often do so via a the antenna, ie the computer would have to be tuned in like a TV station. This means you then have all of your prime colour “wires” as well as audio mixed into one analogue signal. Which obviously degrades the overall image and sound quality. Plus TV tuning isn’t nearly as precise as having a proper dedicated cable. The devices from the 80s (and 90s) which supported both ANT and RGB really show just how significant the difference between the two is. Which is also why you often see a lot of retro gear being sold as “RGB modded”.

Basically what I’m saying is comparing a budget micro on an 80s home TV to a raster CRT terminal is rather pointless. Different tech, different target audience, different eras.
> It's easier to influence a local business. "I don't like that you've stopped stocking X."

But if you're buying online, you don't need to care that much if one particular company stops stocking something, because it's almost as easy to buy it off any other company online.
I didn’t remove the punctuation or change the capitalization. I assume mods did it for... reasons?
Yes, the "privacy" regulation Zuckerberg describes in this article have no relation to an individual keeping their identity private from an online service - they merely involve strictures on companies' use of the knowledge they gain about their clients. It is taken as a given that the companies will have this information. Which is to say it requires customers to trust companies rather than actually have any control.
451 :(

Come to think of it... was the HTTP code chosen after Fahrenheit 451?
Paywall. Did not read.
Start with UI mock-ups first before writing any back end code. Schedule review meetings and specifically ask management to approve all major elements. Take detailed meeting minutes documenting that approval and send those to all the internal stakeholders. With that paper trail it becomes more difficult to request major changes later.
Peak Internet for me was using Google Reader, sharing articles, and having discussions about them with my Google Buzz friends.

Shut down Facebook as a company and three of those four problems are solved.
His books are considered seminal.

His seminars are, in my personal experience, a light introduction to his work for the high points, and him spending 20 minutes showing us his twitter timeline for the low points.

I’d recommend buying the books, and dedicating the day you’d have spent on the seminar reading them instead.
Your situation is still rare in Romania. Also consider how far are you from the closest hospital (if you are far from Bucharest, Cluj, Iasi or Timisoara you are too far), a decent school for your kids, a decent place to go out (not the village pub where alcoholics waste their lives) and so on. One can live like a monk, but not raise a family in a small village or even a city like Petrosani (very nice area, but zero amenities), Pucioasa, Pascani or Pecica.
There are not so many jobs where you can work from home, especially exclusive from home. I also work from home most of the time, but when I need to get to the office I spend 3-4 hours driving: not nice.

Amen! Which is really sad sometimes. I really enjoyed that stuff when I was younger. Sometimes makes me wish I had picked another career so I might still enjoy fiddling with more or less trivial tech as a hobby.

The problem most people have to code with other libraries, and the intellisense can help to make the work easier.

It also helps you to make better code by showing diagnostics.
This times 1000 - it's amazing how often my colleagues talk about how they worked on something over the weekend or just take it for granted that I want to keep chatting about their crap after 6 PM. Or bosses who say "can you deploy that?" when it's 5:30

`as const` is useful there as well, as TypeScript’s type inference only narrows as far as the type and not the literal value. `let z = {text: "hello"}` has the shape `{text: string}`, with `as const` it has the shape `{text: "hello"}`.
10p an hour? And he keeps them talking for longer?

I have better things to do with my time.

Edit: hour? I meant to write minute. Vagued out I guess.
A business can be open longer without specific individuals working longer hours. You just hire more people to cover the additional hours.
It also raises the stakes for impersonation and identity theft. This can be the difference between life and death in some cases.

Also, maybe some of us don't want to live in a creepy ad-supported pan-option where the links you click become your actual identity.
No, because I don't treat this website as a social network. I have no friend connections here, don't expose private information, it's a technical discussion board in my opinion.

Facebook on the other hand is a network for the exchange of private or personal information, including for example people forming groups about particularly sensitive topics (abuse experiences, disease and so on), in which personal identity is important to not open yourself up to potential intrusion by people who are not trustworthy. (Cynically enough stalkers for example trying to inject themselves into support groups)

Which is also of course why privacy and identity considerations between HN and Facebook differ.
There was an article in The Atlantic a few years ago about the decline of domestic help, but I think this old NY Times article captures the nuance of the change better. In many ways there is still domestic help, but it is now more outsourced, and on demand.

Injecting Marshmallow Peeps with Fungi, for Science
How often would keys be rotated, and can that be done from the ground? And then, the nightmare of ensuring that updated certs for the keys get rolled out to all the devices so they don't all panic and say that the GPS isn't working at all anymore. For that, cell phones would probably be the easiest despite jerkass behaviour of manufacturers and service providers. Embedded GPS updating would be an absolute nightmare.
This sure is getting a fair bit of downvotes. I mostly agree with you though. Having a single identity reduces trolling, it's as simple as looking at Facebook vs Twitter. People are less likely to message nasty things to others if their real life reputation is on the line, I take that as fact.
Interesting. Do you mind to explain this a bit more?
Just because you are locked into the enterprise troglodyte mindset doesn’t mean the rest of the world has to remain living in the past.
I develop exclusively in Jetbrains IDEs these days, and never let the IDE control the build. A working Gradle or Make target is required for CI/CD anyway. Our projects are officially editor independent and each contributor can use whatever they want. It is nice to click in a test and run it, but you can do that from command line too.

What I do get is correct autocomplete, documentation hinting, inline git hunk visualization, inline linter and compiler output, go-to-definition that always works and sees through implicitly satisfied interfaces, language aware refactoring tools, well designed interactive debugger, etc.

Sure you can hand assemble this stuff in Vimrc, or you can buy a tool that’s already functional.

Just one feature alone - being taken directly to compiler error sites - has saved me so much stumbling around from back when I was trying to be a shell purist.

As I’ve gotten more senior, I’ve really come around to the importance of investing in tooling (whether build or buy), having high expectations for tooling support, and having low tolerance for frustration/tedium/trickery. Not just IDEs. The right interactive debugger output, profiler trace, custom visualization, etc. easily pays for itself vs. trial and error or trying to squint at the source + output and reason about it.
Terrible article. The first half is overly long and feels like it’s just anti capitalism rather than pro ubi

The rest is just appeals to emotion. The worst offender being here

> We have piles of evidence that a world without UBI is hugely expensive in so many ways.

With nothing to say that a world with UBI isn’t.
Then pay for it and stop with arguing with me and my staff about your insurance plan. I am a practicing provider and I struggle with this. People, on one hand, like a doctor that takes their insurance plan. Did you want a boutique provider, after hours from where you work, I can guarantee there won’t be any network with your insurance plan and you will pay top dollar for this. In my experience, people do not want this.

Not an expert, but if you miss a packet with the looping you have to wait for that particular packet, whereas with the fountain it sounds like you can get that back quicker.
While I can see why you would use flash cards for learning geography (more factual), I'm not sure how you could design a card to explain a data structure.

They don't have to be visible to the human eyes, just visible to instruments. With band filters and a narrow field of view you can get a stronger signal that sticks out from the the approximately uniform sky background. I mean the altitude helps, but it's not necessary.
Quite amused to see that Presto card! Always great to see something done here in Ontario. On the other hand, the privacy/security implications of this are very frightening.
The article is partly about the performance issue of not having a local server and partly about the privacy loss of sending all your DNS queries to Google. Even without a local dns server there’s still a stub resolver on your OS that provides some degree of caching.

This can be a problem for some people, but based on the comments I've read in the years I've been reading this site most people are in favor of paying huge taxes. Let's say you pay 75% taxes, what is the problem? When you die, the state will get the place and sell it someone else that wants to pay for it; again, and again, and again. You kids will have to work and pay to get it, for the state is just $$$ profitssss. Good business.

You surely must be aware that life expectancy is dropping in your country, that starving in the streets still does happen, that the wealth gap is very real, and that the planet is on a path to being uninhabitable. And yet you propose that because poor Americans are fat, that the world must be OK?

I'n not disagreeing that history repeats itself. It does. And there is good in this world. But you might want to take a wider look around a bit before declaring how great everything is.
Full time maids are rare, but I think the majority of upper middle class households have at least part time help for tasks like cleaning and child care.
This is doable when you have rock-solid confidence that you will never be let go (or you have fuck you money).

Otherwise, there's always gonna be another chump in their 20's who thinks they're just putting in their dues before being able to dial it back a bit, and you're competing with them.
>So we’re creating an independent body so people can appeal our decisions. We’re also working with governments, including French officials, on ensuring the effectiveness of content review systems.

So content posted online should be moderated by the government. Fuck Zuck. He's advocating for the Chinese model for the entire world.
I'm going to disagree somewhat. I've seen too many people work inside FAANG and perceive what they're missing and then leave to build it for them and get acquihired back in a year or two after their departure.

This does not require blind faith. This requires a degree of empathy to the frustration that their staff is undergoing but for which they don't have the leadership to address, and I guess some faith that you can build it for them, but definitely not blind faith because the evidence is staring you in the face.

I'm kind of sick of living in the future personally. I wasted way too many years on that. YMMV.
Crazier idea: don’t make management the only route to higher salary, pushing loads of incompetent people into it for purely monetary reasons. Reward highly skilled employees for their skill set and experience.

The manager tools "hall of fame podcasts".

The manager tools podcast gives you actionable advice on being a good manager.

Based on the fundamental idea that what defines a good manager is 2 things:
Results and Retention.

the manager tools concepts revolve around 4 key activities and principles.

1. one on ones
2. coaching
3. feedback
4. delegation

Focusing on these builds trust, facilitates mentor ship, builds an environment for improvement, and asking for more.

The crux is that one-on-ones are a set format they they advocate that put's the focus on the direct report.
"Jam the door shut behind you." strategies employed by even the earliest monopolists and lobbyists in the US.

Or, in other words : "Let's regulate the loopholes that we used for success so as to diminish the opportunity for competition to arise in the same sector."

I don't think I expected anything different. Without choosing sides, I have to say that it all sounds very corporate, and I didn't expect anything else from him.
The big advantage of ALE is it has much more linters.

How is that different from the people whom you do "follow" with RSS recommending other feeds or individual articles, or quoting these articles, with their own comments?
