By this I mean actually a way for people to publish standardized web interfaces that can all be accessed from the same local terminal, with built-in identity, text-editing and JSON filtering with jq, who knows what else.

As for what they're replacing them with, sounds like they don't quite know yet. They seem to still be in the requirements gathering phase: https://github.com/w3c/web-advertising
Does Julia have the number of libraries that Python does?
One of the things I don’t like about USB-C when compared to Lightning is that the USB-C socket has some kind of wafer inside it which strikes me as very breakable. I’ve not managed to break one yet, but why was it not put on the cable end as opposed to having the strange male-but-also-female cables we have now.

Do you know what the reasoning behind this decision was?
But earphone cables rotate in place. So do the thicker kind of ordinary audio cable.

USB cables don't rotate in place, but you have to exert a lot more effort to twist them twice (so they plug in). Reversible cables have a lower barrier to twisting.

(I'm repeating myself a little, but that's because what I had just written sounds confusing in re-reading.)
> we plan to phase out support for third-party cookies in Chrome

This is news to me.
1000x less fun? That’s extremely subjective, and depends enormously on what you draw satisfaction from. Leading people can be a lot of fun if you genuinely care about the people you are leading and take joy from empowering and enabling them to grow and succeed.
Ask HN: Graph of Projects by License on GitHub? (MIT/BSD/GPL/etc.)
Has anyone plotted a graph of license usage over time on Github? I'd love to know for example whether GPL has gained or lost in popularity in the past five or ten years, whether MIT or BSD is more popular, and such.
Does the article actually explain WHY?
> The industry so far is very closed and rejects concept of interoperability. It's nice that somebody is taking steps in right direction.

Sadly very true. I've worked in the industry, and while there has been a lot of standardization, there's definitely not a lot of interoperability. Car makers and tier 1 suppliers in my experience are very insistent on keeping their knowledge in-house, distrustful of open source tools and extremely unwilling to share any technical information that could lead to greater interoperability.
#1 only worked because the machine you are talking about had one of those nifty dual USB / eSATA ports. If I recall right, a LOT of the Dell laptops my company had -- for years -- had this.
>Why did you take random excerpts instead of looking for the more serious allegations, one of which the parent mentioned.

Conversely, why is The Verge pilling on with insignificant allegations?

I didn't ignore anything because there were no serious allegations AT ALL. All the allegations were in the same spirit. Yes, even the one you cited. I'm not defending Korey as a great manager. I'm just not seeing a national story here. The fact that what you cited is provided without context is also telling because the entire article is written with one anecdote after another - with a very loose narrative woven in.

And by the way, pto (not to be confused with vacation time) and wfh, are usually a privilege. Some places do not let you do either. What is this great harm that was done when these perks were denied that required national attention (again, not saying Korey is great manager, or Away was a great place to work - but far from terrible. Have you worked at, for example, a factory?)
> It's like people who object to love being a chemical reaction. What else could it be possibly be?

Did you learn that by study, or did someone tell you that? Where else have you looked for love?

You might find “love” contained in the electrical impulses in a computer program. It might be in the words of a screenplay. A complicated mechanical automaton might experience love. You could notice it in a melody, or in the pattern of behavioral incentives among a society of human beings.

None of these things are chemical reactions in any systematic sense. You may notice chemical reactions everywhere you find these things, but that’s just because chemical reactions are contingently intrinsic to your own cognition. You’re only noticing yourself noticing the subject, and what you learn from that is almost entirely arbitrary.

Heartbreak is a form of neurotransmitter withdrawal, and it can be treated in similar ways to substance abuse issues. That’s because “love” is a “chemical reaction”. But that’s just a random fact about earthlings. It won’t help you write a pop song, let alone make a friend.

This is the reason “reductionism” has become a bit of a dirty word in philosophy. You feel like you are understanding the world better and better the whole time you are decomposing it into its constituent parts. Then you get to the bottom and you realize that the universe is made of many kinds of constituent parts, and you have decomposed a useful idea all the way down into nonsense.
Thank you!

The target audience for the newsletter was decided as "the busy exec". Not too much text, lots of gifs of functionality that we've built, etc.

There's some separate newsletters we do as well - there's a fortnightly "what's going on in the backend" one, curated by our infrastructure teams that's aimed at engineers.

Currently the general case newsletter goes to Engineering, Product, Product Design, and the exec group. We don't think it's quite good enough for the staff@ mailing list yet, but maybe we're just being over-cautious. It's really hard to get the balance right.
I think as Drew mentions in his article, Raspberry Pi is the least-common denominator in the emulation game right now given the price and sheer volume of availalbe guides and software packages for the thing.

Sure, a NUC will blow it away and if you're building a dedicated gaming appliance that's a good way to go. But compared to the Pi3 and it's predecessors there's respectable horse-power on the Pi4.
I think you can definitely observe it in yourself. Try this (copy and pasting from a separate response I made):

Think about experiencing pain and what it feels like to you. Really try to simulate it in your thoughts. Probably sucks. Now think about happiness and what that feels like to you. Probably doesn't suck as much. Without watching a scan of your brain, and without collecting any sort of quantifiable data about your nervous system, you were most likely able to recall those two feelings and (much more importantly) discern the difference between those two feelings just now. You didn't do this by any type of measurement of quantity, just by quality of experience (qualia). If you were able to identify and discern the separate feelings you have internally assigned to happiness and pain without quantifying them, I would call that proof of consciousness within yourself maybe.
Advaita Vedanta accepts six pramanas (means of justified knowledge). Pratyaksha (sensory perception), anumana (inference), shabda (the words of the Vedas), upamana (comparison), arthapatti (presumption), and abhava (negation). Experience (anubhava) is NOT pramana.

There is CSS media query for exactly your use-case. No need for sniffing, round-trips or any server-side activity at all.
People should be aware that many of the cheapo "ELM327" readers on Amazon/eBay are counterfeit chips that merely identify themselves as ELM327. They do not perform as well as the real chip, but may be good enough for reading your check-engine code. For example, I had a fake one that choked if I tried querying engine RPM in a loop, while the real deal had no issues.

If your code is floss then amazon or whoever could just fork the code and just use it in their backend. If that is okay with you then why is complete reimplementing it not okay? In both cases customers are directed away from your wallet.
Computational Power Found in the Arms of Neurons
There have been articles recently which are claiming the value of those cookies are not as valuable as before because the majority of them are avoided/altered to obfuscate to the requester.

So I see this as a : 'Hey we got in before everyone and stopped using cookies first' — When in reality, they're becomming less of a valuable commoddity.

I'll be very happy when companies stop storing excess info in their own storage.

Until then, no round of applause from me .
Your computer simulation does not solve the "stopping problem".
This means that the artificial brain does not know what is good or what is bad. It can not know everything about itself. So the brain will be completely unstable and fail after a while.

On the other hand, if there is some guiding (like a programmer), the artificial brain can be functional. If the real brain would be guided by some kind of consciousness, this would work the same.

The consciousness needs to be in a different dimension, in a way that physics does not change. So it would be like a 2D pool table, where we can describe exactly the movement of every ball. But sometimes a ball gets hit by a player, outside the table. And this gives us events that bring the balls to a certain direction.

In similar sense the brain can be played by a consciousness to get it working. In a way that is very hard to detect with physical instruments.

PG is a smart mind with a long track record of achievements. Still people shouldn't follow him in a cult-like manner or turn him into a voodoo-kind role model, 'PG tweeted he needs a pink phone, I made him one'.

While the initial email idea is tempting, it's nonsense from a security perspective especially with this use case.
The article addresses the reason it was made non-reversible (cost) but does not address why the plug was made rectangular, which gives it no visual or tactile feedback for orientation. HDMI for example is non-reversible but it's obvious (more or less) which way to insert it.

The only reference in the article is,

> The Intel team led by Bhatt anticipated the user frustration and opted for a rectangular design and a 50-50 chance to plug it in correctly, versus a round connector with less room for error.

Which sounds like a post-hoc rationalisation for a bad design to me. I find it hard to believe they did this intentionally.
There are many, many cases where UA sniffing is correct and required. Browsers are buggy, complicated pieces of software that don't always behave 100% as specified or expected.

Feature detection is well and good, and should be the first line of attack; but sometimes you need to account for things like certain versions of Safari having WebRTC "support" that's actually completely broken, certain versions of Chrome crashing when certain WebAssembly features are used, and Firefox-specific CSS bugs. (All real examples I've run into.)

It may not be the worst thing in the world if UA sniffing is broken for all existing web properties though, since anything not well maintained enough to migrate to a new API is probably either working off of outdated information or abusing UA sniffing where feature detection would have been more appropriate anyway.

That being said, requiring a server to use User Agent Client Hints is stupid. What are client-side libraries like webrtc-adapter (https://github.com/webrtcHacks/adapter/issues/1017) supposed to do? I don't see any goals listed that wouldn't be addressed equally well while providing an equivalent JS API.

Nah, genetic algorithms are quite well known, and have been taught in college courses since before 1990 or so. They're very useful for certain things, but they do take a lot of computing power to iterate on... they were once the domain of supercomputers (to produce usable models) but are now able to run on less expensive systems.
Who cares that much about the salary when you are that point in the Software Engineeering career track in SV anyway? What, really, is the difference between making $300K/yr and even fully doubling that to $600K? A nicer apartment, a nicer car, an earlier retirement? These are pretty marginal things if the cost is spending most of your time doing something you don't like.

The most common reason somebody becomes an EM that I've observed is because somebody else tells them to do it. It's a promotion, so you should want it. I'm one of very few people in the SwE world I've encountered who very actively and clearly wants to do it, and for the reasons you listed - to spend more time on humans and less on code.

Most of my managers have at best tolerated the position; several have confessed being miserable and just wanting to code again ("okay, let's switch" hasn't worked, though). That includes my current and previous manager; the one before those 2 said he didn't want to manage and despite being CTO was trying to maneuver into more of an architect position, the one before that quit within a month of being promoted. I've known several people who were EMs and switched back, and had a friend confess that she was on the verge of quitting before she got offered the chance to be an IC again.

Not a one who got promoted and then loved it.

Given that it's true most ICs want to code and not manage (even if many can learn to be good managers), and these days big company ICs are very well compensated... it really feels like the driving force is external - somebody else tells them to do it, it looks like the natural progression, and that's "just what you do" more than anything else.
What differs this scenario from individual neurons firing together in order to make the human mind? Can you keep taking that line of thinking down to the subatomic properties of the neurons themselves? I'm guessing this is the argument for panpsychism. The emergent property of human consciousness could be seen as the culmination of all the individual parts themselves have some form of primitive consciousness.
You said, "the experience would be the same." For the vast majority of users who expect the device to be productive out of the box, the experience would be significantly degraded.

What OP means is (I hope), yes, people are complex entities, each with their own nuances, but our behavior is not something astral, magic, that cannot be analyzed and figured out just yet. In fact we can be (to a certain extend, at least) profiled and we can act and plan upon such results.

Making a date happy? Sure, at first there can be some luck/lottery if you don’t know the person, but if you know your game you will try to know as much from that person as you can in order to do/give/say things that will make a moment turn out better for you, or for both even.

You may not like some people think like that, thinking they are just thinking of people as systems, but some of us actually just use that information to complement our spontaneity. Also, I don’t see what fuzz is all about, just because there was an example with people relationships.
That reminds me of an answer on Quora where a compiler was infected and would insert white supremacy messages into the compiled program. And if you tried to recompile the compiler, it would inject its code into the new compiler[0].

static typing (especially HKT), macros, or laziness? The BEAM is amazing, but Erlang is kind of meh. Also the BEAM is very slow so you end up writing C to get any real work done. I haven't used Elixer, but I suspect it suffers from the same problems. When the JVM finally supports preemptive multi-tasking, Erlang and the BEAM will become completely unnecessary.

Why are you assuming that traffic is moving at 30-45 mph through a neighborhood.

In my neighborhood the speed limit is universally 25 and the stop signs & one way streets keep traffic speeds down.

My son doesn’t know how to ride a bike yet but there are certainly under 10 yo all around riding in the streets. Further my son does walk to the park down the street by himself or with friends with the usual guidance about cars (“look both ways” etc).

Success is not just the hard work in the things that ultimately succeed.

you go to plug in your thumb drive. You try once. Failure ensues. Metal clashes with metal. Humiliated and discouraged, you flip it and try again. Failure, again! How could this be possible?

I hoped the article would explain also why the above happens, not just why the design decision which leads to the above was made.

Although I think it's not just the shape, but a combination with other things. Thingking in the direction of: most ports are all black and/or hard to reach so from a distance you just don't see where exactly it will fit so you just try and don't get a proper match. I.e. I never ever have this problem when pluggin into a socket which is right before my eyes and/or e.g. has the central plastic piece in white since then you can clearly see how to match them. Further ideas?

> - Chrome sort of forces a login …which shares browser and user details history with Google

This doesn't get more true by just repeating it over and over. If you login to Google it'll show up in Chrome next to the address bar but it doesn't enable any syncing to Google servers. That's a different step and it requires opt-in. You can also use Chrome without logging in to any Google services.

I don't get why privacy advocates, who often have a point when talking about Google, have to rely on FUD.
Yes, but the ease of use and prominence of the feature make a difference. If I have to manually reset the ID, well, forget it. If the operating system automatically does it for me - then that is far superior.

>Ofc CEO sending messages at bad hours to workers

What's wrong with sending emails or messages at 3am ... if you don't expect workers to read and/or respond to the message at that time (as opposed to the next business day)? It just means the messages sits there in the inbox until the next day. So what?

I see nothing about vacation time. I saw PTO being denied - which may not be the same. Sometimes PTO and Vacation time is tracked differently, the latter being something guaranteed in your employment agreement, and the former being a perk.
