I worked one summer (2014) manufacturing emergency stop buttons for ABB.

We used SAP for our incoming orders. Each order was printed on paper as some kind of report from SAP and put in our physical inbox. When we had manufactured buttons for an order, we would go to a desk with two computers, both logged in to SAP. With the first computer we would scan a barcode from the order to find it in the system, mark the order as done, and print a second paper containing the order.

Then we would proceed to the next computer, scanning a barcode from the second paper, and produce a freight order for the outgoing warehouse. This was printed to a third paper, and attached to the buttons, before they went to the outgoing warehouse.

Note that the freight order did not work as a waybill, so the process of shifting paper was probably conducted a couple of more times before the order reached the customer.

For someone really used to working with computers and not against them, it seemed rather innovative to print a paper to transfer an order to another computer two feet away. It was a learning experience and greatly motivated me to go get some higher education.
You're right, I should have been more careful using that term - but for how long ? Last time I checked, we only had a few decades left of potential resource extraction growth before we hit ~half of eventually extracted resources, and the production would start to decline.

Favorite language and why is the question that I use to separate out actual programmers from pretenders. Reversing a linked list is a useless question, because very few people even think in those terms anymore. That's more of a "when did you start programming" question than an actual skill question now. But your favorite language and why allows you to see if they have actually thought about what they are doing, or if they are just code monkeys. Getting them to compare and contrast means that they have understood the multiple languages, and can comment on them intelligibly. I don't care if you know 2 or 6. I care if it is >1 and if you know them sufficiently well to know where they are strong and where they are weak. You can also tell if they are just parroting things they have read or if this comes from a place of personal experience - you can ask followups like "where have you run into this problem" or "what project did this help out".

Asking about linked lists will literally just tell you if they have a CS degree, when they graduated, and if they did the right practice interview questions. It generally won't tell you anything about how they will actually do when you get them on the team.

So it has typestates. (I recommend anyone [0] and its HN thread [1] for detail.) I think that's a great language feature for helping to avoid bugs, especially the kind that often happen in C, but I don't imagine it's anywhere close to proving whole-program correctness, is it?

For the curious, here's an official example in the SPARK language, that gives a proven-correct sort function. (A complete proof of correct program behaviour, not just absence of undefined behaviour). As you can see, proving correctness is a challenge that permeates every inch of the code. [2][3]

> So what's the United State's excuse?

Massive, continual, and ongoing failure to capture any significant part of the outgoing and diminishing value of the ground under our feet for the future needs of citizens, thereby reducing the wealth of our country as a whole so a few people can capture all the benefit of that lost stored wealth, rather than merely almost all of it?

It's not just oil—anything non-renewable coming out of the ground ought to pay into a trust fund like Norway's. We had a huge amount of it—oil, coal, minerals—and still have quite a bit, but we can't even figure out how to have anything resembling an OECD-standard healthcare system so I reckon a fix for that's not gonna enter the public debate for decades yet, if ever, meanwhile the stored value in our physical country itself drops every day.

I'm all about Hanlon's razor but naming the ticking time-bomb of a voting software startup "Shadow Inc." seems a bit too on the nose to be pure stupidity.

Everything about this reeks of a publicity stunt to "ruin" electronic voting in the public eye.
I am kind of sick of this excuse.

While I suppose every developer here was in a situation where they had to include something they did not want, I also know that none of my colleagues would care or even think about including external scripts, trackers or other crap. Possibility would be high they would be the ones suggesting it. And I have met many developers who think that way. And looking at a plethora of open source projects, which many would assume should have many developers more conscious of these kind of issues suggest this is more than anecdotal evidence.

Most people, developers included, probably even most developers on hacker news, don't care at all. We should not always try to push responsibility on someone else when it is us who builds this kind of crap often without even protesting.
That one got six.
In the US, largish numbers of people live in places that have historically mined a lot of coal. And by a historical quirk, many of those places are in states that are closely divided between two political parties. A further historical quirk makes those states all-or-nothing in some political elections.

So by appealing to the people who mine coal, you can tip an enormous amount of political power. That makes the mining of coal a massively important issue, because -- rather than despite -- its diminishing contribution to power generation.

Depends on how you value your own experience and skills. I can assure that if you can market yourself as someone who can add tremendous value working wth legacy codebases, you could be very valuable to a company. However, if that doesn't excite you and you only care about tech stack, then yes you should find something else. However, my personal opinion is NOT to focus on tech stack but find a company/business that you really like working for not because of the code but because of the product/market and other interesting challenges it brings.

So ask yourself: are you not motivated because the codebase is legacy or is it because the team/environment is not giving you challenges that you enjoy ?

There are plenty of shit startups with shiny tech that have terrible environments, not much market fit/business and hardly any security/stability. Do you want to work in such environments ?
I’m sorry but this sounds really unappealing to me. But it’s probably tasty.
I'm not opposed to paid parental leave, but it's not equitable at all. It benefits the rich the most, and may even punish the poor. For example, there's no reason a senior investment banker should be paid high 6 figures to take care of their kids. They should have more than enough money saved up themselves to take unpaid time off. Meanwhile, the most vulnerable will have are even harder time finding full time employment as companies will have less incentive to grant it to them. Something like a guaranteed $500 a week for 20 weeks from the government makes a lot more sense.

OK, but the problem here is that Ralph Northam, in the video, does endorse infanticide. There is nothing untrue about that analysis. Sure, there may be nothing wrong with that from my or your point of view, but you are tacking on your own narrative to the video all the same. Because you and I don't care about the mother, either, no matter what you may say to the contrary.

That viral video clip is just the VA governor saying some stuff during an interview on a radio program. You and the OP both attached your own critical analysis to that video, and that's great. Platforms which actively discourage this have alterior motives beyond sharing, beyond the truth, and beyond kindness.

Records filed by the estate on Friday indicate that Southern Country had $693,157 in assets when Mr. Epstein died on Aug. 10. Then, in mid-December, the estate transferred $15.5 million to Southern Country in two checks. Southern Country sent back $2.6 million, leaving the total it received at $12.9 million. The documents filed by the estate do not give a reason for the transfers.

It’s also not clear what Southern Country did with that money. Two weeks later, the year-end value of Southern Country’s assets was $499,759, according to the estate’s filings.

So ~$12.5M transferred after his death is missing an unaccounted for? That's pretty outrageous. Are there methods for tracking that money down? The article doesn't really say anything about an investigation into its whereabouts.

Hyperbole. A lot of working with an ERP is developing middleware or custom modules that implement business-specific logic on top of an existing API and schema. It's like saying building a Facebook App is equivalent to rebuilding the entire Facebook Platform.

> So we've dared to build our own multinational and fully integrated CRM and ERP

I hear this all the time, and it's almost always wrong. Engineers and businesses are always convinced they're special and don't fit the mold. That's rarely the case, and the money used on these initiatives was probably better spent elsewhere. Usually when someone thinks they have some sort of special edge case or unique business, it's more often than not they don't understand GAAP/IFRS/IAS etc and how their finances can be modeled.

At the end of the day it's about capital investment. Either you believe you can do it better and you're willing to back it with money, or you realize it's not core to your business and buy something off the shelf because it delivers the best bang for the buck and more importantly lets you focus on other projects that are actually aligned with your business model.

> if you don't know exactly what you're doing

There's the caveat. You either find someone that's worked with ERP's for at least 20+ years, or you build your own over a decade and gain it 1st hand.

If anyone is interested, here is a back-of-the-envelope mass calculation:

Energy content of natural gas: 53.6MJ/kg=14.8kWh/kg
Efficiency of combined cycle plant: ~50%
Energy/Mass Ratio = 7.445kWh/kg

Mass of wind turbine: ~150 tons
Max power: 1.5MW
Capacity factor: 0.4
Lifespan: 25 years
Energy/Mass Ratio = 876kWh/kg

Obviously refining the materials for a wind turbine requires more energy than making natural gas. Also obviously didn't include the mass of the natural gas plant itself. Also obviously natural gas leaks are very problematic for climate. Also obviously if only the blades are discarded (and these are typically a small percentage of the weight), you could imagine continuing to use the tower, nacelle, generator, etc...

> they would just carry insurance against it anyway.

A lot of people in this thread keep citing insurance, as if you can _just carry_ insurance for anything. This completely ignores the actual insurance companies in the equation.

Insurance companies are not limitless pits of funds, they won't just give insurance to anyone for anything. If a manager has a track record of damaging behaviour or works in an industry that does obvious harm, why would somebody give them insurance?

People are talking like the results are useless unless it personally bankrupts the managers responsible, the goal is not to hurt the person responsible as much as possible, its to actually provide compensation for victims, and provide a market force to reduce harmful behaviour.

You can't just "get insurance" for anything. If you were legally liable for harms, and you had a track record of harmful decisions or work in a obviously harmful industries, then the insurance companies are unlikely to provide you insurance or will charge you high enough premiums that those who are more responsible or do safer work are economically advantaged.
> pivot_root is a system call lets us swap the mount at / with another. Glibc doesn't provide a wrapper for it, but includes a prototype in the man page. I don't really understand, but OK, we'll include our own.

Probably because pivot_root is a speciality that is used in initramfs boostrapping and is exposed to that scriptology via the pivot_root program that comes from the util-linux project.
Docker is too general, too much of a Swiss army knife for this particular problem. The problem I am talking about is where a C++ program has all of its dependencies vendored into the source tree. When you run Make, everything including the dependencies build at the same time. All you need is a chroot, namespaces, cgroups, btrfs, squashfs--plain old Linux APIs--to make sure the compiler has a consistent view of the system. Assuming the compiler and filesystem are well behaved (e.g., don't insert timestamps), you should be able to take a consistent sha256sum of the build. And maybe even ZIP it up like a JAR and pass around a lightweight, source-only file that can compile and run (without a network connection) on other computers with the same kernel version.

Again, Bazel is basically this already. But it would be nice to have something like OP's tool to integrate in other build systems.

I could just make a Dockerfile and say that's my build system. But then I'm stuck with Docker. The only way to run my program would be through Docker. Docker doesn't have a monopoly on the idea of a fully-realized chroot.

> as there's not much to "buy"

Well, you have to buy that the data actually supports this (which your last sentence implies it's not a given) and there's the implication that women voluntarily entering into the workforce have somehow made things worse for other women; that's the implied "narrative". And of course, that women in the workforce are a major factor in lowering wages, and that there are no ways to stop the erosion of wages without driving women away from the workforce. As you can see, there are many narratives at play here that you can either buy into or not.

The comment of the person I was replying to also completely ignored the question of whether fathers actually want to take a more active part in the raising of their children, and whether society supports this decision.
