It isn't your fault they hire people who don't care about the product. That you pick a tech stack that inspires you is a logical [and predictable] follow up.

I think a lot of people still think things are/should be something like: First the product, 2nd the customer, 3rd the company, 4th the investors and the employees last.

But the reality is often more like: First the investors, 2nd the employees, 3rd the company, 4th the customer, and oh we need some kind of product too!

You get the open floor plan so that the investor can see lots of people working. A nice ping pong table to illustrate the lack of employee equity. A fun tech stack to attract and keep the employees happy. Large expensive chunks of plastic with the company name on it. Great customer service to help the customer with their problems and lastly a product that doesn't work.

Again, I'm not suggesting any of this is your fault. On the contrary, one cant teach passion. You either care about the product or you don't.
I've used the same format as you mentioned, usually for non-public-facing modules. Sometimes it starts with "YYYYMMDD", then "YYYYMMDD.XX" if needed.

Every version potentially breaks backward compatibility, regardless of versioning standard (semver, calver, or anything else). It's the responsibility of the module consumer to have tests and ensure its own functioning.

I do find semantic versioning useful for public-facing modules/interfaces, to indicate (or infer from the consumer side) the intended compatibility. In practice, though, sometimes patch versions break things, or major version upgrades work fine without any changes. So the consumer still needs to be responsible for ensuring compatibility - not much different than calendar versioning.
I think it’s just pref/user_pref and such. Despite the name it is not a js file and is not parsed like one. I think the file extension is entirely vestigial.

>But it lacks R's ecosystem, so Julia is a tougher sell.

In the areas I work in (scientific computing and scientific machine learning), you can really only find the packages in Julia while R and Python's ecosystems are quite lacking. R has stats and Python has ML, but the rest of the scientific ecosystems there just aren't as complete.

Very bad headline about a product that's not shipping and a "but" part that's false.

Here's an intel product to plug them into already today:
https://www.anandtech.com/show/14906/intel-ships-stratix-10-...

And there's also AMD x86 processors that support it.
The interoperability of Julia and Python is really good (Julia calling Python and vice-versa). There is also the possibility to call R functions (but I do not use it personally). To some degree, one can leverage python's ecosystem in Julia. Our group switched from matlab to Julia are we are quite happy with the move.

For teaching, I think that Julia indexing (for example: vector[2:end-1]) is easier to explain than numpy (vector[1:-1]). On the other hand, I like python's plain English operators and/or versus && / || in Julia.

Also loops tends to be more readable than vertorised code in some circumstances (e.g. computing the Laplacian by finite difference). In Julia, loop and vectorized code are both quite efficient, while in python and R, one has to vectorize the code.

I think what this whole exercise proves is that remote working is an unsolved problem, that "can physically see employee at their desk" is worth well over 50% of their salary. Therefore it's not a global market. Proper global markets produce things that cost similar amounts almost everywhere, like crude oil or iPhones.

Keeping grass is simpler than that.

Just mowing less isn't perhaps simpler by the definition of it but is way better for biodiversity. You could try it in just a small piece of your current lawn and see what happens. Mow once near the end of spring and again once 3 to 4 months later. Shouldn't take long before native flowering plants will pop up.

I wonder where on the social ladder does eating 'coon fall over there? Is it somewhat up there like most things hunting/fishing related are? (because hunting/fishing/trapping your own meat was generally something the landed gentry did for recreation)

I really hope it's not in the bottom half just because of how uncomfortable that would make certain Americans.
It feels like I picked the worst of both worlds. I don't use pesticides and remove weeds by hand. I will admit that I like quiet appeal of the lawn despite the amount of work I have to put into it.

Personally, I think people don't appreciate how little manual labor can help you focus and keep things in perspective.

I think GP’s choice of examples for electrical engineering wasn’t likely a good one, but their point generally stands for the time being. Sadly, I see electrical engineering degrading in quality as an industry in a similar fashion to the software industry has.

California needs 1.8m-2.5m new housing units; major hurdles stand in the way
I see a huge risk for manipulation and spoofing. You‘ll have to establish some kind of trust if you want to rely on beacon data (from whatever source) for navigation and safety. Just imagine that someone spoofs a signal that triggers autonomous cars to emergency break – depending on road conditions and/or if there are non-autonomous cars as well, an attacker can create some serious damage, injury, and even death.

Given the existence of spoofed base stations (stingrays) among other reasons, a PKI-based solution may not be sufficiently safe. So you‘d have to overlay beacon data with sensors, at which point it’s questionable if there‘s a significant added benefit.

Ask HN: What are comprehensive resources to learn digital product design?
I'm a software developer (mainly web) with an interest in design. I believe I have a good intuition from my experience working with designers, but I would like to turn this into more solid knowledge.

I'm struggling to find a comprehensive resource that teaches me graphic design and digital product design foundations such as color theory, spacing, rhythm, and most likely other concepts I haven't heard about yet.

I need something that guides me through the world of design, and not an aggregation of articles (of which I already read a lot).

Any ideas?
I highly agree with this. It's almost a necessity these days with a major push to hire "junior" developers at a discounted rate. By doing those lower abstraction layers, you allow them to write the necessary high-volume business code while reducing their ability to do something subtly stupid for the business/data. Usually this involves abstracting away a lot of the database transaction-type stuff.

And on a side note: Never let juniors anywhere near the database design without supervision by the team/seniors. They won't learn anything that way, and they will inevitably make a mess.

In a stack oriented language the stack manipulations are the logic. You could make a more complicated compiler to optimize them or use local variables but most people/projects don't bother.

This has never been true in my experience. The effort goes into insuring that the stack manipulations are correct.

From watching NVIDIA's presentations, it sure sounds like AI is growing exponentially. Plus Google needs AI to advance for Waymo to become safe and profitable. Looking at other companies in my area, all of them have plans for AI, too, even if it is trivial stuff like automating the most repetitive 5% of support inquiries. So if Google can beat AWS out of the AI waters early on, that might become very valuable in a few years.
Well okay, but in the modern era like ours where value is increasingly found in intellectual property and an increasingly mobile workforce, physically commodifying land like that sounds more limiting, wedding the theory to a 19th century economy.

Quantum teleportation between computer chips is now possible
I’m fortunate enough to have recently purchased a 38 acre property in the Midwest, a little hollow with small hills and a spring-fed creek. About 30 acres are woods and the remainder is open, most of it unmowed with lots of native wildflowers and grasses, part of it low and swampy and part high and dry. It was amazing spending the summer there and learning about other butterflies than Monarchs (though we had plenty of them) and birds.

With a bit more TLC over the next few years, I think we’ll be in good shape as a little oasis nestled amongst the cornfields and pastures. We fortunately don’t have wild parsnip and the garlic mustard is almost gone. Japanese barberry runs rampant in the woods, though. That will take some effort to get rid of.

I thought the mosquitoes would be terrible, but, while present, they seem to have been kept in check by the wind and the birds.

Was not intended. I was shy and lonely and it never got better until I got so sick of being lonely that I forced myself to overcome the problems.

Get motivated...to not be lonely so you get determined to find ways to fix it.

The longer you’re lonely the more you get sick of it until it motivates you to find a way. That’s what I meant. It’s pain and eventually you will seek pain relief.

If you're referring to the A-bomb, no. Germany was defeated without it, and the Japanese military didn't really care if civilians were turned to ashes.

Germany was defeated, but the USSR was on a roll.

Without the A-bomb, there’s a decent chance the Soviet Union would’ve pushed the Anglo-Americans out of the continental Europe.

I developed an allergy to tumbleweed whilst living in Colorado. So I moved to the east coast.

Ok, it wasn't just because of the tumbleweeds.

> Yes you want to engineer things so they are maintainable, performant etc, but if it doesn’t meet the business needs then none of that really matters. I’ve worked with engineers for example that outright refused to build things that are clearly needed by customers, for “technical reasons”.

The core problem is that too often business needs are dogmatic and management is too entrenched to fix it.

This is the reason why so many large-scale IT/digitalization projects end up colossal clusterfucks: no one on customer side has the spine to say "our processes and workflows were made in an age where people did things by hand, let us modernize them while we're already at it".
Am I reading this writeup wrong? Because to me it reads like "oh you're lonely? deal with it, or just make friends!" which isn't very helpful. It's more like a well-intentioned spitting in the face of everyone who is lonely and repeatedly tried and failed to make meaningful relationships.
Yeah, that was my realisation. Semver ends up being a lie often enough, and back-ported patches happen rarely enough, that it ends up being engineering theatre more often than not.

Python as a text processing language has been less convenient than Perl for a long time
Python+(Django, Flask) as a Web service language hasn't been as convenient as Ruby on Rails for some time
Python+numpy as a numeric computation language hasn't had all the features of Matlab
Python+pandas+matplotlib as a data science language hasn't had all the features of R

but using Python throughout, or even Python with a sprinkling of Cython/C++/C for performance, allows for cleaner and faster engineering than using a special language for each niche.

I don't think that R has a bigger problem with non-programmers being bad software engineers than Python has - there are plenty of people who know Python passably and are quite happy that they can be productive without being good software engineers (versus Java where the intent of the language is biased for everyone to write code with a minimum quality standard rather than everyone to write code with focus on being productive). But you can find decent Python software engineers, and more recently you can find decent software engineers who also know enough of the niche in question to produce high-quality production code in that niche from the get-go rather than throwing models over a data science - engineering wall that exists between two departments.
That's a function of when Python was popularized, where there was very little major corporate support for new open source libraries / frameworks. Ruby and Rails had their hype cycle around the same time, more or less on the back of a <50 employee company.

Nowadays, open source development has centralized far more on large public companies, so there's a lot more marketing effort being put on all the languages / frameworks / libraries out there.
Why on earth would you say that? Arguments against attempting to avert these disasters will inevitably be based on cost. Presenting the consequences in monetary terms will help counter these arguments.

I absolutely do. I’m saying that from experience.

Nobody has the power to fix your loneliness except for you. You just have to hit a point where you are so tired of being lonely that you decide for yourself that you are going to find a way to not be lonely anymore. That often means forcing yourself out of your comfort zone.
> Loneliness is an involuntary reaction that arises from a lack of meaningful social connections

It might be a cause for most people but not everything. For example, when I feel lonely it's not because of "meaningful social connections" just that I have nothing worth doing.

Actually, for plotting I prefer to use PyPlot in Julia which is based on matplotlib which is very mature and complete in my opinion. I tried to use other (more native) plotting packages like GR, Plots and Makie but they did not provide all the plotting types I needed or where to rough around the edges.

In any case, I am looking forward to new julia versions which should address the delay in plotting (as far as I known).
Do you use 100% of that lawn? You could mow only part of it. E.g. simple things like instead of using square corners, leave the coreners as-is with a radius of a couple of meter and only mow those twice a year or so. Makes it also interesting to see the difference in what will grow. On the other hand if you keep on using pesticides it might simply not work. Why exactly do you use the pesticides? As other commenters mention, it's not normally a prerequisite to get a nice lawn.
I joined a salsa class about 9 months ago and my life has changed drastically because of it. Salsa is a partner dance, so improving my skills gave me the confidence to be more social. Since the salsa scene in my town is modestly sized the kind of people that join seem to be "interested in seeking new experiences" kinds of people. Lots of world languages are represented, and there seems to be a disproportionately high amount of Masters and PHDs in the group. For me the best part is that everyone seems genuinely interested in improving themselves.

I don't think this is a panacea (can there be one for solving loneliness?) but some might find it a good idea so I wanted to share.

This sounds bad. But it is so true that people ignore it all the time.

Some of the projects are even neither benefit to the society nor not profitable, they are completely pointless, and just wait to be abandoned years later.
