While it might be possible to Insta/FB to do that, I strongly doubt, that they do that or have systems in place to do that. It most likely is not an important use case for them as the user group that does this is way too small.

I'm thankful our 2004 & 2002 cars are as free of "smart" as they are. They're aging out on us and we've been looking at replacements; the used market is contaminated with screens and systems that we DO NOT WANT.

I wonder how difficult it will be to strip all that shit out when the time comes. What's going to have to be stubbed out or emulated to make the car run and how difficult will that be? Are we looking at things like people rolling their own EverQuest shards yet?

One of primary points of article is that open office plans have resulted in less communication and collaboration. However, I have to wonder if it's just a timing thing, where the expansion of open office plans have also coincided with the more expanded use of tools like Slack, which has resulted in less in person collaboration overall.

Ask HN: Should I stop trying to find an interesting job?
I've been at my company for a couple of years now but looking to go somewhere else. Mainly cause the work is just not interesting. The only problem is that all the jobs in my area just seem boring. Working on another B2B marketing tool or internal HR product is all I see. Working for SoaceX or solving the problems of global warming would be something more worthwhile to me.
What no one seems to be able to do is make a simple language and leave it alone to focus on tools and ecosystem. It always seems to be that the momentum of solving an initial problem with the language is carried into solving more problems with the language instead of tools.

The interaction will take place if it is scripted in a dialog.

Open-plan offices are useful in movies and dramas that have office settings or scenes.

It makes these scenes more dynamic, since several characters can see each other across the room and interact directly, and lots of "extras" can be shown in a single camera angle.

I have a feeling that such scenes may have driven some of the open office initiatives in actual workplaces. ("It was so cool in that movie ...").
You can definitely do the first of those examples and probably the last of the examples, but the middle one (vehicle should not be able to crash into anything) is really hard. How do you prove the vehicle can't crash into anything? What do you specify in code to ensure that? I guarantee whatever specification you make I can come up with an edge case that it won't handle. That's the main problem with specification, not that it doesn't work, but that we don't know enough about what a solution would look like to fully specify it.

And just to dive into this a little more, let's say the first example you gave fails, and we have one sensor saying something is 10m in front of us and the other saying there's nothing for 100m, what do we do in this situation? Well, it depends on the context, maybe the one sensor is picking up a bit of retread tire in the middle of the lane and we can just drive over it, or maybe the other sensor is malfunctioning and there's actually a bear in the road. I don't think there is an easy answer to what to do in general just given the sensor state.

You take an initial immigrant who gets in because of the merit categories and then have them bring over all their family members, whose gene pool ends up in the U.S? Whose family values?

This article is about upward mobility in the children of immigrants. What traits do children get from their parents? Most people would say it's nature (their genes) and nurture (their upbringing). All of these are widely shared with the family members of the initial immigrant, so most immigration being family-based does not invalidate this conclusion.

In the cultures with the abrahamic religions (especially, but also elsewhere) the 'language of the birds' is considered a mythical 'divine language', some characters in the 'holy books' who are famed for wisdom or considered prophets are supposed to have understood it.

> I prefer not to be lied to

You're misunderstanding what the point of an app like this is. It's not to lie to friends, it's to get them to be more honest with me. If I tell a casual acquaintance that I'm not feeling great about an event, 99% of the time they will say it's not big deal and cancel. They will almost never tell me honestly whether or not they were excited about it and really wanted me to come anyway.

That tendency is not an introverted vs extroverted thing, it's just a thing everybody does. It's the same anomaly that makes it hard to choose a restaurant, because everyone just says, "oh, I don't care, lets do what the group wants."

What is an introverted thing is that I have a lot of experience with people going out of their way to accommodate me in ways that that mask the problem that they have needs I'm not meeting. I have a lot of experience with people feeling like I don't like them because I haven't talked to them in a while -- and not just doing the sensible thing and coming to me and saying, "hey, I wish you would call more." As a result, there will always be a small part of my brain thinking, "you're just saying this is not a big deal." There will always be a small part of my brain thinking, "is there some non-confrontational way I could get you to be more honest with me about your expectations in this friendship?"

The affordance here for me is being able to skip an awkward conversation where I try to convince someone else that I don't want the polite answer, I want to know whether or not they're disappointed. It's not so I can lie to friends, its so I can express my preferences without worrying that I'm being lied to.

Would it be better if no one, introverted or extroverted, ever hid what they wanted? Maybe, but I'm not convinced that's true. I could also sit down with all of my friends, one on one, and say, "you need to promise me that if I ask if it's OK to cancel, you will always tell me whether or not you're disappointed in me." I've done that with a few very close friends, but in general, I've found that kind of a conversation is a good way to creep out casual acquaintances.

Or maybe I should just change my personality to not care at all if I'm disappointing those people? I want to re-emphasize the idea that everyone hides preferences and insecurities all the time, that everyone has quirks, and that we all tolerate mild social lubricants that make friendships easier. Except when those lubricants are designed for introverts, in which case suddenly they're problematic.

The problem people have here is not that they think politeness is the same as lying -- otherwise all of these commenters would have already joined the radical honesty movement. The problem is that the particular kind of politeness this app is designed to facilitate and the particular kind of insecurity it's designed to ease doesn't code as normal to them.

It is also the reason why I fail interviews where the company is interviewing many people in parallel in the same room.

The same could be said of any 2020 SUV. Cars are dangerous.
Sure. But I'd hope that they brought in new people, with a new outlook on things, and started all over from scratch. They're probably running mostly the same tests they were before the crashes, and also some new ones that people have dreamed up.
I am an immigrant (a lucky one, to obtain GC lottery). My US born peers considered me successful (relative to them). They often talks to me about their situation and I just gave them advice of what worked for me.

Based on my conversation with them. I think it made me more aware that I'm definitely not a regular person even compared to my fellow home country citizens. I am more restless, more ambitious, more conditioned to harsh environments, whether in work or study, and lucky to have several innate talents.

Yes I can say there is definitely a selection bias, but we can learn from one another, whether immigrant or US born. Everyone has their own strengths, weaknesses, and challenges in life.
Yep.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it turns out that the square footage you need for an open plan office plus a sufficient amount of meeting space ends up being greater than the square footage you need for a more traditional style of office. The last open plan office I worked at was probably 1/3 meeting spaces, and it still didn't feel like enough.

I still don't feel like Fedora CoreOS is a good name choice for a new OS distinct from what used to be named Fedora Core. Perhaps they could name it after another kind of hat or something.
Another anecdata: I'm in an open office right now, and the area that I'm in could ostensibly be considered to be a "cove", with about 6 people. I hate it. I'm not on the same calls, so people being in calls messes with my flow. They're not on my same calls, so I either have to move to a hot and sticky phone booth, or leave the building entirely (I've taken a few calls in my car) since I work on projects that aren't ready for the office rumor mill.

I really miss my cubicle. I could stand up and have a conversation, or sit down and be in relative peace. The sound and visual isolation offered by those fabric walls can't be overstated.

Somewhere, one of the layers is picking a packet size. Probably the OS TCP stack. What I'd want to do as a TLS implementation concerned about hiding exact lengths is use that packet length for my final packet regardless of how much is actually inside it.

Yes if the MTU is bogus and causes fragmentation or dropped packets that's bad, but I'm comfortable it also happened to every other packet sent, I'm only making things go from terrible to slightly more terrible, not from good to bad, and only for people who've got problems.
One of my offices, after vocal complaints about the open office plan, did a quick survey.

Roughly 50% were fine with the open office plan. (this office was mainly devs, HR, recruiting, and data scientists) As someone that is drained by social interactions (I _like_ them, but afterwards I'm drained, not energized), that is easily distracted by movement, and who can't hear conversations in the background without instinctively trying to focus on what is being said, open offices are hell for me.

I was utterly mystified by the "other" 50%. How do you just "choose" what to focus on? That's like controlling a reflex. I knew there were extraverts, but SO MANY?!

I have no idea why phoronix isn't highlighting the reason for Clear Linux superior performance, it isn't magic:

Clear Linux OS sets the CPU governor to performance which calls for the CPU to operate at maximum clock frequency. In other words, P-state P0. While this may sound wasteful at first, it is important to remember that power utilization does not increase significantly simply because of a locked clock frequency without a workload.

from:
https://docs.01.org/clearlinux/latest/guides/maintenance/cpu...

The only reference in the article for this is in the compiler details box, where you can see that all the distributions run the ondemand governor, and Clear runs with performance.

This is exactly what happens in my employer's "pod rooms." There are 10 of us and inevitably someone will be all, "Jack; Jack!; HEY, JACK!!" and someone else says "he has his headphones on just send him an IM" and the first person replies "ugh!" and then gets up to walk over and stand at Jack's shoulder until Jack takes off his headphones and looks up at the person.

It's not just one person that does this or we might could get the behavior to change. Apparently humans in group spaces just really, really, really want to verbally speak to other humans in those spaces and there's no amount of "hey guys I'm really trying to work here could you keep it down" that doesn't come across as rude or condescending.

I guess part of it for me is there seems to be no escaping from the noise of life any more. At least at work I used to have an office with a door that I could close for a couple of hours of solitude and heads-down real work. Now, after the building redesign, there are 950 people in the building and a pittance of conference rooms and phone rooms and "team rooms" (little conference rooms supposedly shared between just two or three teams sitting in larger "pod rooms" but, in practice, squatted in by one or two people all day). I've spent twenty minutes walking around my building and the adjacent one just trying to find somewhere to do a phone screen for an interview candidate.

I know we're being trained to hate journalists these days, but that quoted sentence is just stating a fact: the biggest drop since dotcom bubble... and the article reads very reasonable. I don't see anything controversial in there - seems to balance the negatives with things like "the rate of decline abated" and "the decline in industry sales didn’t stop investors betting on a future rebound." - how is that sensationalist? Maybe they could have reported it as "19th best year since dot com bubble"?
What do you think is the sensible strategy when Apple deprecates a feature?

Directly jumping on the provided alternative is basically doing beta testing for Apple. Very often the alternative is not ready yet. For years after it was announced Swift was not production ready. SwiftUI will probably replace Cocoa but again it is not production ready yet (and doesn't work on the majority of Macs).

What if there is no alternative? There are many crossplatform projects that rely on OpenGL and moving to Metal is problematic since it's an Apple only API. No replacement for Carbon either because at some point Apple decided to abandon the port to 64 bits.

How much time should one wait before fully jumping, say, into Swift? Nobody knows. Apple could announce today that it plans to kill ObjC by 2025 and give devs a good picture of what it's going to happen and its commitment to X feature. I suspect the problem is that not even Apple knows when it will finally decide to do that.

There is a lot of uncertainty. How can one decide to start a new macOS project today without knowing how long that investment will last? For example if you invested heavily in OpenCL a couple of years now you'd have to rewrite all that code to Metal. Or moving from ObjC to Swift. Or moving from OpenGL to Metal. Etc. This is a luxury that not everyone can afford and Apple doesn't seem to care.

No wonder Apple is the only big developer working on macOS exclusive products and they are trying to bring over iOS devs via Catalyst.

This is my favorite kind of setup. I call it the "Unix Room" model, because it's sort of like what I saw at Bell Labs: Private offices for staff, but people would also work in an open area often (it helped that they just had terminals scattered around and you could sit at any one of them). I've worked in such an environment and loved it, but of course it costs more space than any of the other alternatives.
