Of course. Even MDs, despite all their years of study don't have all the procedures and possible diagnoses in their heads all the time and need to read literature and consult with other physicians to reach conclusions.

I'm not sure why people think software development (and computers in general) is somehow different. We don't know everything. We basically can't.

What we (and all other professions) have is knowledge on how to apply new information to what we already know.

So yes, you're right. You have to teach the basics, how to put them together and how to add new pieces once you inevitably hit something you don't know.

The reverse needs to be true, you can't bar someone for being young using the usual excuse of inexperience. Want anti age discrimination policies to get popular support? Make sure it goes both ways.
Pay attention to the messenger too. If a VC tells you to raise money ”just in case”, they might mean ”I want in on your explosive growth”. Nothing wrong with that, just be mindful of people’s motives.
“Natural selection” is the process that makes something “natural”. If it hasn’t passed the test of time, it’s not natural. Which part of my list doesn’t overlap with yours? You consider Impossible Foods natural?
I agree with everything you've said except for the UI being bad.

If this was desktop I would agree with you. Having a good start menu makes sense and the Unity (at least usable) and then Windows 8 (abomination) show that a UI like that doesn't always make sense outside phones and tablets.

The flip of this is true as well. For a phone, my uses are far less complex. I don't have a zillion folders, apps, programming environments, mapped drives...etc. I need internet, SMS, camera, email, office apps, and that is about it. With Windows Phone I had that on my fully customized home screen with all the icons sized just the way I wanted them. I also liked that searching for apps was just slide to the right and scroll by alphabetical order. With Android there is just so much crap going on that I don't use that gets in the way. Now I'm sure some people do use it, but I do not.

My wife had a Nokia Lumia Windows phone as well. She likes the fact that there is better support and apps on Android than what we had with Windows (especially at the end), but she really misses the Windows UI and she had Android for many years before going Windows.
If the source was glacial run-off, not sure if there’d be any in the places where it’s warmest and driest. Still a pretty nifty discovery though.
Why the Apple Pippin Failed
There is a timely On The Media series by Brooke Gladstone on eviction. It's directly related to the issues of poverty, especially among racial minorities who have been historically targeted via redlining and other governmental policies. The 2nd episode spends ~20 minutes on the challenges (present and past) of housing in Chicago. When basic housing is a constant struggle, lots of stuff, including reasonable health outcomes and economic opportunity are often out of reach.

Before we start burning witches, I think it's "fair" (yeah, the same word used in the title) to not only decide on fairness based on outcome but also on reasons.

What percentage of being poor is your own doing or 'not doing'?
What life choices do you make? Do you smoke/drink/do drugs, are you obese, are you physically active?

These things affect both how long you live and also how rich you are at the time of your death.
Yeah, I know it's a spiral and it's hard to break out (been there).

Reality disagrees with most political groups, they aren't necessarily the most cogent of mobs.

You can attribute whatever motivations you like to conservatives, but if you claim they don't want a bright future you are wrong. Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean they are evil or stupid. At absolute worst they have different priorities for what they think a bright future looks like. They are just as good at planning ahead as progressives, and stereotypically more organised albeit less passionate about achieving their goals.
> I still use Firefox, but I'm getting more and more irritated against it. I had to search the web in order to change the tile of empty tabs (no buttons, no context menu, only drag-n-drop from bookmarks). Who designed such an unguessable interface?

Whenever I hear people complain about the settings being impossible to figure out, I always open them up and try.

So I opened settings, which has a search input at the top, and search "new tab".

It has an option to choose "Firefox Home (Default)" or "Blank page" for new tabs, in the section titled "New Windows and Tabs". (With windows, you can choose "Custom URLs" as well).

But you don't want blank. Hmmm. So I open a new tab. Every section has a dropdown menu with a "Remove Section" option (it also has "Manage Settings" links that takes me to the preference page I was on initially.)

Drag-and-drop from bookmarks, though, is stumping me. For what it's worth, it's also stumping me in Chrome. I don't think I've ever tried Vivaldi.

For the most part, basic customization seems intuitive and straightforward. If there is a way to customize by dragging your bookmarks onto the page, though, it isn't intuitive and straightforward. Not sure if that should fall under edge-case customizations (which I expect to be hidden).

It is annoying when things I consider obviously the correct design are treated as obscure things few would want, but I recognize that some of them truly are.

EDIT: I will say, though, that it seems really strange that "New window" has a custom URL option, but new tab doesn't. I guess they're concerned about people setting slow new tab URLs and then being frustrated.
They even have a comprehensive line of dog tracking products, best in (surprisingly underrepresented) class. It is sad they've decided to augment them with electric shock correction features, which modern k9 science strongly discourages (acceptable only for e.g. correction of severe aggression cases, and such dogs shouldn't be roaming free with a GPS tracker anyway).
There is no more time for individual action. We're about 20/30 years too late for this plan.

Positive-feedback has kicked in, so slowing down emissions will achieve very little. Because of positive feedback, even halting emissions might not be enough.

The only possible path I can think of to stem the catastrophe is a two-step plan:

1. The immediate enactment of a global carbon tax, priced high enough to materially reduce carbon emissions, and quickly.

2. Massive investment in sequestration technologies to help us scrub the air of CO2 and methane.

The challenge is colossal. Even if (1) could be done, (2) basically involves un-doing every emission of the past 20 years. Every mile driven must now be driven backwards, every good manufactured must be un-done...and with far more energy than it took the first time (thanks, thermodynamics!). And that energy must come from clean sources. And it must be done quickly; every day the carbon debt accelerates. Note, not grows — accelerates!

A friend once gave me the following metaphor. Imagine you have a glass jar, filled 1/16 with bacteria. The bacteria look up and say "we have plenty of room to grow!". Two weeks later the bacteria are half way up the jar. "Hey, it took us two week to get here, we have time to curb our growth".

The bacteria suffocate in about two hours.

> But there is nothing below a netlist that is still mappable to different types of FPGAs

But that's the problem - HDL like Verilog and VHDL are not simple netlist descriptions, but instead a weirdly abstracted away behavioural definition of a circuit that synthesizes into a netlist using tons of (sometimes automagical) heuristics.
Safari has blocked third party cookies, as well as the largely unknown segregated cache and localstorage, and now some form of tracking protection. That should make it equivalent to Firefox containers, although it’s just automatic and kind of invisible to the user. As for blockers, I use 1blocker to great effect. I’d use uBlock Origin but the transition to MAS seemed to be rocky last time I checked.

I do give it a spin regularly but the two things that make Firefox a non starter is battery usage and inability to use Keychain (before quantum there was an extension but even then it was hit and miss)

There's nothing inherent to posix that stops us from booting in seconds.
Thanks. That sounds right...it has been many years to where the spirit of what I was trying to say still fit, but let me clear it up:

When Windows Phone7 came out, my friend had a budget WindowsPhone7 with a single core that outperformed dual-core Android at the time when it came to being a phone. The WP7 was a lot less laggy. Then when I got my first Windows Phone8 it was dual-core instead of the then Android quad-cores and it out performed those as well in anecdotal comparisons of mine.
One type of incident I came across repeatedly was the browser would not recognize new password setup after password reset. Also found that 2fa systems were being confused for new password accounts.

I agree password managers like last pass fill this void quite nicely. But are not serviced to run on mobile without payment.
Hopefully the Internet is more than just about jobs and business.

Yea, a lot of people underestimate the speed at which a carrier can move. So much so that it would be outside the blast radius of any ICMB targeted at the carriers last known position when the missile is launched. Most ICBMs cant change trajectory mid-flight.
>So it's always going to be cheaper to make more interceptors than ICBMs.

What's the source for this? Because I've also heard the opposite. Also, given that interceptors have to travel faster and more accurate than warhead ICBMs, you'd think they're more expensive to develop and have a higher unit cost.

>Those 10 interceptors have effectively negated 900 enemy warheads.

* The calculation you presented only really makes sense for very high intercept success rates. If the intercept rate is (conservatively) 80%, if the enemy sends 10 missiles, and you use all 10 interceptors on each, there's still a 91% chance of at least one missile coming through (1-0.8^10). The odds get better if you have double the number of interceptors (34%), but it's still unacceptably high. You'd need overwhelmingly more interceptors.

* I doubt there's 90 "must destroy" targets. If you spend all your interceptors protecting one target, even if that survives, your country is still utterly devastated that there's 0 hope of a counter attack. Does it really matter that washington, DC survived but the rest of the us is reduced to rubble?

> Does anyone even work with assembly anymore?

Sometimes on simple 8-bit architectures for some interrupt-routines where it does perhaps under certain conditions increase performance on I/O operations. And that is to 99% read -> write.

On more complex architectures like x86? Not really. I wouldn't even come close to modern compilers. Maybe for fun.

If you want to create a simple system I would recommend to just ignore optimization and focus on system design. That is probably the only thing agnostic about assembler.

You could also use a µC with external programmer to get a basic system running. mnemonics are often very similar to x86 and while optimizations are hard and in-depth knowledge about architecture is required, the first step to take is probably the system design itself and the efficiency of the assembly is secondary. All that should come later.

For the very first steps, I would recommend linux or windows assembler and learning how to interface the underlying OS. That could help hardening the requirements for the design.
I switched back to Chrome from Firefox. FF was slow, bloated, used all my RAM,no add on support (even for those add-ons who had an an FF product)

Mobile sites, especially HN just don't work properly on HF. The simple act of collapsing posts often seems to overwhelm the browser on my Pixel.

Not to mention there's this bug where videos create notifications on FF Android, and these notifications keep your phone alive from the background, burning through an entire battery in 30 minutes.

OH, there's also the issue where mobile videos don't play in window, instead opening a new window to play... Highly annoying

Oh, and that thing where FF videos often don't show a bar for your time if the video is playing vertically

And maybe this is just my brain, but FF doesn't seem to detect the back button too well, necessitating many double clicks

Oh and the fact that it can't open Google maps links straight from the browser, yuu have to right click

So yeah, I've tried it and it's just not as good, not even close TBH
Now that Android is what it's become my biggest disappointment with Microsoft is that Nadella killed Windows Phone. Having used Android for close to two years now it blows my mind how bad Android UX is, given it's age, and how insanely good Windows Phone was, given IT'S age.

As long as the meetings are not a cermonial part of some process they acctually are very useful.

In a big company communication is one of the biggest obstacles and alot of time need to be used for communicating.

Superficcially decreasing the amount of meetings seems like a bad idea generally. What will happen is just that key people will get the info and others being left in the dark.
Not the parent, but for my own use case, I use password managers for things outside of the browser (office door code, steam, this kind of thing). It might be possible to enter those in the password manager of the browser, I never actually checked, but in any case that's why I use an out of browser password manager

The solution that emerges is not just a new hardware abstraction for current generation of FPGAs. It would be similar to the abuse of GPU's in the early 2000s.

You must design completely new type of Computational FPGAs (CFPGA?) that can have good generic hardware abstraction. It might be something little above the logic blocks and hardware blocs and routing.
Having your passwords quickly available on every computer, every phone, every OS, and every browser is great. Browser-plugin + app password managers do all 4, while password managers provided by the OS or browser typically fail at one of those. They fail hard, too, by making it difficult to manually extract passwords when you need to. They also tend to lack features like password generation, note storage, etc. It's a completely different experience, really.

Taxes. The city handles all trash pickup with no charge directly to property owners or tenants afaik.

That’s to avoid a sanitation crisis as was common in the 19thC where people would just dump their trash on the street (or worse, in the parks) to avoid paying to have it collected.

Whenever these articles come up the focus is on behavior changes and policy. What about good old fashion ingenuity? We know volcanos and nuclear winter can cool the planet so why not start there and work backwards? Controlled volcano eruption, generate the effects of nuclear winter without the radiation and contamination. Or even do something in space with asteroids to block the path to the sun occasionally or something else. I'm sure there are a ton of options but I rarely see any mentioned.
I tried using FF for a while on my MBP. I could hear the fans turning on after I open a 4th tab. What's up with that? I don't want to use Chrome, but FF seems so slow.

Did you have some other kind of statistic in mind?
I honestly couldn't tell which one of you was being truthful? I thought maybe you were trying to make Chicago seem better than it is or maybe HN User "jostmey" was being a bit alarmist.

Anyway, I had to google thee historical violent crime data myself. Turns out neither of you are being entirely honest. GP is definitely wrong when he asserts that crime has skyrocketed from "three decades ago". Would have been late 80s, early 90s and historical data says crime was much higher at that time. (Multiple times higher actually. So "jostmey" was not a little off, but way off on that assertion according to data.)

And you're not being entirely honest when you say demographics have changed and imply that means a change in crime rates. At least, the rate of decrease of violent crime has gone nowhere over the past 30 years or so. It's decreasing at the same rate today, as it was in 2009, and in 1999. Meanwhile, demographic rate of change was near constant until it ratcheted up around 2008 apparently. (And then only in downtown, and only in the income dimension. Not racially.) So, following your implication, the rate of decline in, say, violent crime, should have ratcheted up around that time as well.

The really interesting thing though is that even if I had validated either of your assertions in the data, neither of your explanations shed much light on plausible reasons for the disparity the article mentions. It's like you two just took your preferred world views and started arguing with each other without regard to what the data actually stated, or even what the original question actually was.

I mean, OK, we get it. You like Chicago. Fine. Just say that and leave it at that, don't try to snow us.

Same with "jostmey". We get it. You don't like Chicago. Just say that and leave it there. Why try to blow smoke up our collective rears?

> why can't I have a 'Work' window in which all the new tabs are 'Work' tabs by default?

Same. I've tried Firefox last month and it is the only no-go I've no. With Firefox profiles being a thing, I wonder if a front-end to manage them like in Chrome is in development.
FPGAs have the wrong architecture. Routing fabrics are a premature optimization. They need to be a 2d array of 4:4 look up tables. One bit in from each cartesian neighbor, a latch, and one bit out to each of them. It's turing complete. You alternate the latch clocks, thus preventing all timing issues. The delays are predictable. You can route almost trivially. You can route around defects. You can prove that programs will work as designed.

See my rants for the last decade about "Bitgrid" if you want to know more.
Technically true, though the history of corporations like United Fruit and East India Company suggest those governments do not operate in a vacuum.
I did the same. Pdfs are probably the easiest thing to switch. If you download a pdf reader, you can switch PDF renderer easily. Firefox supports browser plug in viewers where Chrome does not.

And Firefox was the first browser to use js to render PDF. A complete miracle really.
I see your point, thought I’d say “often” is not fair, we just see a disproportionate amount of coverage for these companies - for the problems you’re alluding to. My post is for those who want to build a solid business

> As a result, the compile/edit/run cycle for RTL programming on FPGAs takes hours or days and, worse still, it’s unpredictable: the deep stack of toolchain stages can obscure the way that changes in RTL will affect the design’s performance and energy characteristics.

That's all true but one should really not forget what FPGA's are intended for in the first place: the design of integrated circuits and hours or days is so much better than months for even the simplest custom IC.
how do you know they aren't scientists?
In my experience, people who got promoted to being managers were done so mostly because of their extraversion and people skills - and it makes sense, as these traits make managing easier for them. Unfortunately, not all of them were competent technically - in such cases, the smart ones try to heavily leverage the technical chops of their teams, and just focus on purely managerial duties, such as running interference with the rest of the company etc.
