As a person who was responsible for hiring in a previous role and I still sit on a lot of technical interviews, I didn’t care if you were “limited” to the stack we were using as long as you could get the job done without six months to a year of training.

If you started your career learning Java 20 years ago and you kept up with the latest trends of Java, you could still find a job now. The same is true for C# around 15 years ago.
I agree that qualities like "fast"/"performant" are intentional, and are thus prominently displayed in the project's readme, but are qualities like "maintainable" often found as a stated goal in readmes?

Or if the readme doesn't mention such qualities, can one assume that if it isn't deliberately fast etc. then it is likely to be maintainable because that quality hasn't been sacrificed for a different one?

I'm tempted to say no because not all developers necessarily have the experience to ensure their code base is easily maintainable, but assuming the developer(s) do have experience in writing clean code, is it then safe to assume it [is maintainable]?

How does mass murder help to reduce alienation again?

Also, it's widely disputed that the USSR was actually a Marxist society. I've heard it described as "State Capitalism".

Regardless, it's pretty clear that the mass murder in places like the USSR, China, and Cambodia was due to small groups of people getting massive amounts of power, abusing that power, and being completely insensitive to the suffering they cause, and not as a consequence of their economic systems.

Bloodthirsty despots come in all stripes and are happy to wear any mask as long as it helps them to gain and maintain power. A prime example is Hitler paying lip service to socialism while undermining worker's rights in favor of corporations, murdering socialists, using slave labor, and most of all strengthening his own grip on power.

Just for the record, I'm not a Marxist nor a Communist, nor do I advocate for either. But I do think you have to understand Marxism to adequately critique it, and it's pretty clear that the author of the article this HN post links to does not.
There were a slew of anti-yang articles that came out from the leftmost media sources immediately after the debate, owing to the fact that Yang made Elizabeth Warren look unprepared in her answer about job loss.

> I think Youtube is overengineered as well, but at least Youtube has the good sense to prioritize loading the video first, and the recommendations/comments second.

One extremely annoying thing about this is that if your internet is slow, it can take a minute to load the title of the video you're watching. So if e.g. you get linked something without context and you may not actually want to watch it but do want to know what it is, too bad.

America has become a rat-ship. It is filled with folks that have amazing ideas of how to spend other people's money. Don't be disdainful when the people whose money you have pissed away start getting upset at "grand ideas". We see it as more of the same mostly: corruption, shitty-quality infrastructure, and handouts ("jobs" programs). Rarely do these "grand ideas" translate into real benefits over the long term.
Thanks for the suggestion, I did not know about Cascadia Code. I am a big fan of Consolas font but it is proprietary so I had to look for something better which lead me to discover Fira Mono. I personally really like its design choices, that is why I have been using it for so long also the fact that it is floss font is a huge plus, and If by flare you mean the ligatures then Fira Mono (the original font without the patched in ligatures) might interest you, then again if it has too much flare for you then that is that because font preference is subjective.

What does this have to do with technology?
I think the README could use some work. It covers too much of the "what" and not enough of the "why". For something as important as my push/deploy pipeline, I would be very hesitant to use something with this sparse of documentation.
In fairness to Microsoft, Cascadia Code is still a young project. A couple of weeks ago, they had their second release which added Latin characters (vowels with accents, cedillas, etc.) Hopefully they keep adding more.
Oh, like this is a big deal. There are many inter-city bus trips that long.
But it's still top-down, which means that existing processes are interpreted imperfectly at best, and there is no accumulation of knowledge and incentive for innovation. Spin-offs used to be popular for this reason, but that seems to be out of favor with Wall St today. It seems they'd rather watch startups kill their empires than plant their own seeds.
> In summary, earlier versions of OSX are perfectly fine (my one remaining mac is on 10.10), but Apple has not been doing itself any favors with the dev community in more recent iterations of the OS.

The GNU/Linux community also isn't bending to my will arbitrarily either. Frustrating, to say the least.

In all seriousness, people are all happy to talk about how easy linux is to customize until you broach the subject of changing keybindings to use a mac-like scheme (using command for gui interactions as a rule of thumb, readline bindings everywhere there's text entry), and you find out this is pretty much impossible. In reality software is mostly customizable in the way the creators built it to be customized, including things like windowserver and macos mouse behavior and X11 and gtk and emacs and bash.
Maybe it's just where I live, but I don't really see any of what's described in that article from average people. I see the usual election signs out, haven't heard anyone really saying anything either way or even had any conversations about the elections with anyone. The media's been playing it up pretty bad and I've heard some pretty ridiculous campaign ads from all the parties but that's about it.

Haven't heard a lot of white power fascist sentiment either. Sometime last year though I remember they had a rally planned, but there wasn't actually enough of them to have a rally so nobody showed up.

It really bugs me the media's trying to get Canadians to play the same stupid political games as America. Our election system doesn't even work the same here. You don't vote for the prime minister. You vote for the party representitive in your area. This bullshit started back when Trudeau was first running and it's just gotten worse. The political parties here haven't changed. A vote for NDP, liberal or conservative is still the same vote it would have been last election cycle. Their policies are all the same as they've ever been.
If only we hadn't invented the printing press, scribes would still be making good wages. Somehow everybody found a job afterwards, though -- the economy adjusts with an increased supply of labor. UBI is a promising antidote for short term automation shocks, which Yang is also a proponent of.
You can omit “infrastructure projects”.

California is terrible at managing.
Earning money is important so serving ads is important. The masses don’t care about them including 20 frameworks so serving less code is not important.
And that cycle usually ends when a few people get their heads chopped off and things reset. It would be nice if we could figure out a better way to spread the wealth without costly and violent revolutions.
> stab trim cutout is a memory item

1. MCAS does not behave exactly like a normal runaway trim.

2. On the Ethiopian crash, they _did_ initially follow the stab trim cutout procedure, but they didn't manage their speed correctly and thus were unable to control the plane with manual trim.

IMO point 2 is very important - pilots will not always be perfect. It's easy to armchair pilot from your couch and say that "Oh, just manage your speed correctly when your plane is trying to pitch itself into the ground just after takeoff and follow the stab trim cutout procedure. Very easy to deal with MCAS." But reality is not that easy.

> Look into history of comets and concorde if you want to look at hull loss rates

Compared to every other new plane released in the past 20 years, the 737 MAX has a terrible hull loss ratio. I don't really care about the Comet or the Concorde since it's 2019.

I've had almost every model of MacBook Pro, and quite a few models of ThinkPads. At any given time, I own 2-3 of each.

Generally, Linux works fine on the ThinkPads, as does Windows. But neither of them work as smoothly as a Mac OS for me. Especially when it comes to multi-monitors. They also don't handle different resolutions nearly as well (4k, standard, etc). I usually run dual-boot because I'm not 100% happy with either.

However, for the most part, I can do things like plug my USB-C LG 4k monitor into a ThinkPad with Linux or Windows 10 and it works just fine. But, a couple reboots later I might have to re-configure all my externals (various 1440p and 1080p monitors).

The trackpad on the MacBooks is beyond anything you will get on a ThinkPad. They are usable, they also have the trackpoint, but they don't have the 'flickability' that the Macs have. The keyboards are also better than anything you'll find elsewhere.

The place where the ThinkPads really win is cost and flexibility. Plus, they have all the ports you would expect.

Do you need a beast of a 'portable workstation'? You can configure a P5x on Lenovo.com with 64-128GB of RAM, 3x2GB SSD's in it, and you're still cheaper than a maxed out 15" MBP with 1/3rd the capacity.

Do you want a thin and light travel machine? You have the X2x0 and the X1. Neither share the footprint of the 12" MacBook but they have real processors, and you can upgrade the RAM and SSD with standard parts.

And then if you just want a 'laptop', you have the T3x0, T4x0, T5x0, if you need a 'workstation' there's the X1 Extreme, P1, P5x. Enough options to make it confusing.

We have XPS 13's at work, but I don't care for them too much. They feel chintzy, 4k @ 13" isn't ideal for me (the screens are high quality, though). The shiny bezel around the entire laptop gets all scratched up and cheap looking very quickly as well.

High Schools to TikTok: We’re Catching Feelings
Okay, I had missed that. You're right, I did put quotes around 'red' (like that) and I can now see why that was a communications failure on my part. In truth, I had initially echoed the title with the single quotes around the 'red', and then gone back and put the whole phrase in double quotes while failing to remove the single quotes.

However, the article clarifies neither why "'red' is 'red' in almost every language," nor "Why Red Means Read in Almost Every Language," as you seem to agree while mysteriously somehow also disagreeing with me. It is true that the article does not claim that red (category) matches bijectively across "almost every language," but that is my entire point. It is the title that introduces the notion that "Red" will somehow feature prominently in the content of the article, which it does not. We could argue about whether or not bijectivity is implied by the title, but that would be irrelevant.

Regarding whether this is moving the goalposts, I rather disagree. It is the title that makes the claim that the why of anything at all will be addressed by the article. If it is moving the goalposts to point out that the article not only does not establish "Why Red Means Red" also lacks significant information about the "why" of anything, then it is surely moving the goalposts in the direction of the kicker.

You wrote to affirm that the true meaning of the article's title referred in a sufficient way to the actual topic of the article, contra my apparent complaint. I see that there was a misunderstanding involved, but that aside — right, the title was not referring to the word 'red' — I disagree and actually I don't see how you can sustain any such argument.

>The mixing of explanation with moralism in every sentence is grating.

At the fundamental level, Engineering is a social/ethical process, not a technical one. Yes, engineers tend to have technical skills but when you use those skills to design a bridge you must always keep society (the users of your product) at the forefront of your mind. What separates engineers from "skilled people" is professional ethics. An engineer (structural, software, aerospace, chemical or whatever) who does not consider the ethics of their work cannot credibly claim to be an engineer at all.

To "put the moralism and ethics in its own paragraph" is to sequester the ethical considerations somewhere where they can be conveniently ignored in service of the cult of CEO worship.

Hmm. I read the comment as saying “no cloud, because you’ll save so much by just being on-prem”. And I think an “apples-to-apples” comparison requires an N+1 setup including both compute and networking.

Hybrid could be many different setups, but before their “zonal affinity” change it would actually be worse, right? (Egress over Direct Connect is 4x higher than Zone to Zone, while “internet” egress is 8x). What are you assuming for the balance of Compute and Networking across at least three “sites”?
I'd suggest studying up on the Cold War, as you're not giving it nearly the weight it is due. The world almost ended several times over it; that's a lot more meaningful than operating a token space station together.

And WWII was more of an "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kind of situation. We put up with each other because we needed each other to defeat the Nazis and Imperial Japan, but the second the war ended we turned on each other as main enemies. In truth, Russia has not been friendly to the west since the Communist revolution that occurred during the first World War.

Is your dissertation online?
Yep. I was introduced to this two-axis model several years ago, and it's been very helpful for me to understand my own personality and energy flow.
It's definitely not a simple categorization like that though--some people are so introverted they almost need to completely isolate themselves from society. Some people are barely introverted and require just a little time alone to gather themselves occasionally.

I'm definitely both--I've had periods of my life where I can't detach myself from groups of people, and I've had periods of my life where I spend multiple days inside without going out. There are definitely some environmental factors.

Introversion is tied in with neuroticism, which is definitely on a spectrum. The big five personality traits are also a spectrum.

> Meanwhile, the overall job market is fine...

In constant (inflation-adjusted) dollars, according to the US government's Bureau of Labor statistics, current earnings for production, nonsupervisory employees on private non farm payrolls is $23.65, in constant inflation-adjusted 1983 dollars for September 2019.

In February 1973 that was $23.33 an hour. Almost a half century of economic growth, in a good economy, and workers are making only 32 cents more an hour than they did 46 years ago.

If pundits were describing wages in the Soviet Union, this would be called 46 years of stagnation and so forth. Whereas we have someone from the Bill Gates funded corporation Slate telling us "the overall job market is fine" and other niceties.

It doesn't matter what people think, what matters is that the code is portable. Isn't it better that the program JustWork(SM) unmodified on all platforms without having to worry about whether the shell is POSIX-compliant?

Up until the latest Solaris 10 patches, /bin/sh and /sbin/sh did not implement set -e, because on Solaris /bin/sh is the real McCoy - Steven Bourne's shell from 1972 - 1977. There is a fully POSIX compliant /usr/xpg4/bin/sh, but only Solaris experts know that the /usr/xpg4 directory exists and what is in it; 99.99% of the people out there won't have it before /bin or /usr/bin in their PATH.

Portability should never be traded for convenience, because when one does that, one forces "the next guy" to waste his time fixing one's code. That's just wrong. I've had so much of my life wasted by GNU/Linux "bashisms" which were completely unnecessary. I resent that deeply. That's my life I could have spent in more productive and fulfilling ways, rather than fixing what should not have been broken to begin with.

If you want to write portable shell programs, write them in ksh and then you won't have to worry about POSIX or non-POSIX.
