>A shakeup was under way. Astronomy had split off from astrology. Chemistry had become disentangled from alchemy.

This was the only line that caught my attention, but I admittedly stopped reading the article before the story changed from "how to catch a health scammer" 2+ centuries ago.

What if the current big tech is alchemy and astrology time-wise (since we're so early on this whole information curve)?

Though, this seems more like a restaurant that starts serving subpar products. The traffic will go elsewhere after awhile of getting served crap (especially if there's alternatives to measure against), to never return again.

Loyalty in the digital age is about as common as respect (ie. respecting your privacy) online. Its not very solid.
How important is Wuhan to China's tech industry?
Average across the whole industry is pretty much meaningless, because it's skewed to unknown degree by outlying top management compensation. Averages for the same profession in different industries, e.g. software engineer in financial sector vs. software engineer in FAANG or similar, make more sense to me.
I am all for devising a good, fair apples to apples comparison. If you have any suggestions, let me know. In lieu of that, I use what I have available. While accuracy numbers from papers are informative and interesting, I don't think they directly apply to our usage particularly well. I would prefer to use numbers from actual usage.
Never heard of oddpost, and pretty sure most devs at the time had never either. I do remember Gmail really being a wow moment with respect to Javascript and specifically AJAX though.
I was curious too - "Paul Galvin wanted a brand name for Galvin Manufacturing Corporation's new car radio, and created the name “Motorola” by linking "motor" (for motorcar) with "ola" (from Victrola), which was also a popular ending for many companies at the time, e.g. Moviola, Crayola."

I guess I just don't understand where the generation capacity comes from that because it is trading kinetic energy into electrical but that kinetic energy has to come from somewhere or you will deorbit your anchor.

Although now that I think about it, you could potentially nudge a conveniently positioned space rock into a sacrificial eccentric orbit around earth and harvest energy off that ever time in skims by until it finally crashes down into the earth.

Frankly - who didn't see this coming. The widely touted network stack written in Go will be rewritten in something else.

> Nobody seem to want to stand out and use e.g. Rust in the kernel, so the situation is perpetuated

Redox does, but it's still early days there apparently. I tried to boot it in VirtualBox a few minutes ago, following some instructions on StackExchange[1] but it didn't boot.

> How old was C again when it was used to write the Unix kernel?

Very young, as C was developed between 72-73[2], and the first rewrite of UNIX in C from PDP assembly happened in 1973 for V4, although it wasn't really _portably_ rewritten until 1978[3]). The C rewrite was the first version to support multi-programming; before that it was single-tasking.

(maybe you know all this, but I post the info to clarify for other readers who might not, and to underscore your point).

Also don't forget that UNIX source was reasonably available in those days, and both C and UNIX developed alongside the much simpler hardware of the day, and evolved with them. Hitting modern hardware targets, trying to provide modern OS features out of the gate, and using a newly emerging language seems to be a feat which is an order of magnitude larger IMHO.

Yea we’re seeing this all over the place at Lambda (https://lambdalabs.com). Most people running consistent GPU training or inference jobs are building on-prem clusters or even groups of workstations.

It just doesn’t make financial sense to use the big the cloud service providers for those with consistent workloads. I always hear stories where folks have saved hundreds of thousands in infrastructure costs with owning + co-lo.
I don't follow your argument: "information creation is compensated prior to the information being given away for free." You can't give something away for free by requiring compensation beforehand.

> A continuing ignorance of established work in the field (particularly when the Internet lets you get away with it, in "soft subjects" like philosophy, sociology, political theory and critical theory[3]) is par for the course in both PG and Scott's writings. If it's not published in a blog post or a trendy book written within the past 15 years, chances are that they'll think the concept is novel.

Sadly, this applies to pretty much every "public intellectual" these days. It's embarrassing to watch how ignorant Sam Harris is when talking about religion, Neil deGrasse Tyson's dismissal of philosophy, or Steven Pinker's opinion (or lack thereof) of Nietzsche. They clearly have zero education on or knowledge of the subject, and yet...they continue to be taken as authoritative figures.

I eagerly await the day when we have real public intellectuals again. Hell, people like Steven Pinker make past pseudo-intellectual figures like William F. Buckley look like genius savants.

I personally trust all of amazon fresh enough to feed me? but yeah, it's probably good advice to not put things that come from the rest of amazon in your mouth.

It's so weird to me, though 'cause here I am, totally willing to pay extra for convenience, and amazon seems to be throwing that premium away.

Clearly, it's not an impossible problem to solve, 'cause basically every other major retailer (and for that matter, nearly all minor retailers) has solved it. It's only the places where they try to both sell their own stuff and be a marketplace of shady third party sellers where I have problems, and even then, most places that try to do both do a better job of segregating the real business from the 'let's compete with ebay' business than amazon does.

I mean, it seems to me like this would be costing amazon money both in the short and long term. If I were an amazon shareholder, I'd demand they drop the third-party garbage until they figured out how to solve the problem as well as target does.
Thanks for helping re-frame the problem. Anxiety is an interesting way of looking at it.

I just read the Feynman text you linked, and it was inspiring. When I started programming, I did it because I enjoyed it. I found it fun. I was just exploring it. Then it became my career... and over the years, it's become more about being good, making money, and being "proud" of my accomplishments.

Maybe I need to take a step back, address my anxiety, and get back to playing. Easier said than done, but worth doing.
> than whiteboarding some memorized algorithm.

This is not how it works! There are over 1000 problems on leetcode. Sure, many of them are solved using the same techniques but there is usually a twist and you often need to combine multiple approaches or come up with something new (to you). And then there is usually a very problem-specific way in which the problem can be solved 10 or 50 times faster. Often these insights are very difficult to come up with. The people who created these questions are actually very smart and excepting some of the questions at the easiest level it's usually a far cry from simply implementing Dijkstra from memory!

Ask HN: Devs who were let go, how did you spend your notice period?
I was today given a termination of contract as the company is cutting costs all around.

I was the only developer in the company who had three other developers working as freelancers remotely from two countries. It made more sense for my company to let me go and outsource the tech to the freelancers.

The hr even offered to set up a meeting with a COO of another startup she knew who is already interested in hiring me. I think it was nice from the HR but it also shows how fast the company wants to get rid of me from their books.

After thinking a lot, I personally feel I need time to take a step back and slowly rediscover my lost passion for writing code just for fun. I worked 5 years very hard and the last year I moved to another (non-English speaking) country to work as a backend developer. I now feel that in trying to fulfill my dreams of moving to another country I ended up burning out really hard and it’s time to take a step back and think about everything.

I start with slowly learning / practicing some of the concepts that I wanted to learn for a long time. I’m a backend dev who can write code in python and use frameworks like django/drf or flask to bootstrap SaaS products from scratch. I know how to use docker for local development and setup k8s for production. I know the value of CI/CD to get constant feedback from product owners and stakeholders. I can also fix small bugs in front end stack written in VueJS/Nuxt or vanilla JS.

I don’t have any immediate family or any loans. Savings are zero but the next three months salary is good enough to keep me going for 6 months.

My question to fellow devs here. How would you spend your three months of notice period and what skills would you focus on next ? I’m thinking to build some fun projects on the side and strengthen my database and software design skills. But most importantly I’m also going to sleep well, exercise daily and take it easy for a couple of months now.
Yeah, software gets bigger as more requirements are thrown at it, no matter how it's done. Eventually you just end up with a these balls of crap.

Frankly, I think this pattern describes most programming constructs as well. As what's a good approach for managing largeness (or complexity)? Dividing it into smaller simpler understandable chunks, that can be changed in isolation, which is what containers attempt to do, as what many programming constructs attempt to do.

But you're right, it'll just grow more, and things will likely just get divided again into more chunks. I don't see a way out of this process.

In fact, I feel this describes a general law, as it describes everything large in general. Take companies for example. Large companies are less innovative, because they're more complex and hard to change, just like large software. Additionally, large companies tend to containerize things into divisions, departments, teams, and so on, in attempt to manage complexity.

Bigness is the anti-thesis to change/innovation...

He takes several obvious and blatant jokes seriously, and he does this because not long ago, two right- and right-libertarian outlets with relatively large audiences posted pieces intentionally misinterpreting them, practically admitting to doing so in the pieces. At best, the bad faith seems to be lost on him, of course.

The only thing worse than someone on an opposing side to you making a horrendous argument is someone on your own side making a grotesque one, and that's what he's doing here.

His "point" is completely invalidated by the examples he used, which (notably) are all jokes, bar one. It only takes someone with the most basic amount of social competency to tell that. It, later, is invalidated further by his claim that "rubes can figure out how to sift through b/s," which he demonstrates to be wrong with the contents of his post.

I don't think that twitter should be creating hierarchy on its site, and I'm far from against him politically: an abhorrent argument is still an abhorrent argument, though, and anti-intellectualism like this should be spoken out against wherever it appears, regardless of whose side it's on. This type of person making this type of argument devalues the side they're on as a whole, and should be strongly pushed out.

And that's not even getting into the idea that a corporate blog should stray away from overtly-political posts.

> The market withholds food when they tell you to pay first before taking it home. The same is fair for an author.

Food is finite. When you buy material goods, you subtract from the seller's supply of goods and add to your own. It's impossible to create new goods out of nothing. Since there isn't enough for everyone, an economy naturally arises.

Information is infinite. Copying and transmitting data is not only trivial, it is natural. That's why people came up with ways to create artificial scarcity. The only cost associated with human knowledge and art is that of creating it. After it's created, information costs $0.

All data, all files on a computer, they're essentially just really big numbers that humanity happened to discover. Once the number is known, modern computers make it possible to copy and transmit it for almost $0. Paywalls? Only one person needs to pay in order to get copy and distribute it to everyone else.

Nobody is saying creators shouldn't be compensated. We're saying they need a new business model. It's the 21st century. You no longer need huge printing presses in order to make copies of something at scale. It's as easy as copy paste.
It's totally usable and preferable in its beta format to the first edition. The first edition is pretty out of date with current practice.

Because English Wikipedia is by far the version with the most readers, and therefore the one where most time has been invested in making an article good.

In my experience, non-English Wikipedia articles are great for "insider knowledge" about topics and/or local figures who are deemed not relevant enough to the English Wikipedia editors. But outside these niches, their texts tend to be both shorter and less polished.

I said however, it’s likely the majority of resolvers that have been deployed in the last few years support DNSSEC

The word deploy should have been a hint. IT departments deploy resolvers, not consumers. BIND is the most widely used DNS resolver and authoritative server; it’s had DNSSEC support since version 9, released 20 years ago.

People using 8.8.8.8 aren't using DNSSEC…

As far as DNSSEC is concerned, there’s no difference between using 8.8.8.8 or a DNSSEC-aware resolver on their network or laptop. Either one will validate signed DNS records.

Does the macOS resolver support it? Does the iOS resolver support it?

The resolvers in laptops, desktops and smartphones are stub resolvers; all they do forward to a recursive resolver on the internet. If you're a macOS user on Comcast for example, the Mac’s stub resolver forwards to 75.75.75.75, Comcast’s DNSSEC-aware resolver.

This also allows a user of a VPS like Digital Ocean, Vultr, etc. and is running email, web, ssh, etc. to take advantage of DANE features like TLSA, SSHFP, OPENPGPKEY and SMIMEA [1] because their zone is signed and they’re using one of the DNSSEC-aware resolvers like 1.1.1.1, 75.75.75.75, etc.

Regarding macOS and iOS, they both ship with the dnssd framework, which supports DNSSEC. [2] So an app can use DNSSEC to validate DNS records.

If my ISP's resolver doesn't support DNSSEC and I want it for an iOS device, there are apps for that, like Cloudflare’s that gives iOS users access to 1.1.1.1 [3]

Perhaps Apple has more planned; I suspect they didn’t create the .Apple brand TLD for nothing. We’ll see what happens but it has 13 parked domains and is obviously DNSSEC-signed. [4]
