If we consider this striking, it would appear that a large portion of the population (I don't know the actual percentage), composed of all walks of life, has decided it's of the utmost important to union bust and push people back to work without really making any attempts at resolving anything, and even with the knowledge that forcing people back to work will result in additional loss of life. "Sure, the mine is collapsing on people and giving you all black lung, but if you don't get back in there the town will shut down".

Doesn't really bode well for any future mass action.
The strategy for Nintendo Switch Online is apparently to dripfeed classic games onto it. So if you for example want to play Mother (NES) or Mother 2 (SNES), you either need to emulate it on a PC, buy the actual retro consoles and games (or the SNES Classic for Mother 2), or get a Wii U and play it on the Wii U Virtual Console.

(If you want to play Mother 3 in English, you're going to have to resort to PC emulators.)

Because it's fairly popular (#6ish or something) as a language, it is more probable that people are forced to use it at the threat of unemployment.

I thought this might be interesting at the first review I've seen of a laptop with the new Ryzen 4700U processor. The battery life is a big improvement over the 3000 series, and it's certainly excellent for the 8-core performance. This particular laptop isn't terribly exciting, but it's decent for the price.

No that's not how it works at all.

Compressed air is bled from the engine compressors (or 2 electric compressors in the case of the 787), cooled down using ram air, and passed into an air cycle machine that uses ram air to get the desired pressure and a slightly low temperature. Then it's mixed with filtered recirculated air (taken below the floor around the center of the cabin). Then it's distributed by zone into the whole cabin, brought up to the desired temperature by injecting hot air from the beginning of the cycle, and delivered by nozzles all along the cabin. And excess cabin air is bled out of the cabin, which maintains the right pressure.

However in the case of the virus, the biggest risk arguably doesn't come from the recirculation but the nearby passengers.

> While playing off sheet music and focusing on dexterity exercises can be rewarding, they are not creative activities.

Of all the idiotic things written in the comments of HN (there are plenty...) this has to be, hands down, the most idiotic. There are literally an infinite number of possible expressions in terms of muscle movement & hand / eye coordination involved in an activity like playing the piano & this is BEFORE discussing the activity of using that infinite set of expressions to actually interpret music played from memory, by ear, or from a page. The fact that you think it's not a "creative activity" says more about your lack of creativity than anything else.
This post was originally written in 2017. Since then, many sites have copied Stripe's design––almost exactly in some cases. I'd argue they started a trend and others have since followed. Yes, Bootstrap helped introduce specific patterns. But Stripe's execution of those design patterns was 10x.

This is why unions exist: to enable collective action by workers.

Maybe if we call it a "guild" (like the screen actors guild) it'll be more palatable to software developers who fancy themselves beyond the need for something as blue-collar as a union.
This is my first time hearing about rr, and I'm very curious. Your comment below about increasing generality/performance with bpf is very interesting.

Can you share a little bit about how some of these features (looking at the first one for example) impact rr's ability to run in cloud environments? Does it work but with performance degradation? Without performance degradation but missing some features? I don't work at quite a low enough level to look at this list and quickly grasp the high level takeaway.

Uggghhhh, the entitlement of well paid and under qualified developers is loathsome. To everybody else who doesn’t share that entitlement it looks like gross ethnocentricity.

As a former armor officer, I worry that integrating tech in the warrior kit is a complacency risk; not a problem, just a risk. For example, tank platoons rely heavily on communication devices, and when those fail, I believe teams have not trained hard enough on the analog (hand and arm signals, flagging, IR signaling, etc.). If you power communication and AR from a cable, does the soldier now carry battery backups? Does the soldier now train to two levels of contingency: digital, radio, physical? The soldiers kit is heavy enough and we barely train to one contingency so the ROI here is really important—and I don’t mean money.
The legally safest route would be to not implement the patch, but merely to describe the difference in behavior that triggers the bug in general terms (yet sufficient to replicate a "correct" behavior). This may also enable you to RE Microsoft binaries that you want to support in Wine, e.g. web browsers, office-productivity applications or development tools, as opposed to OS components.
I agree that we have a moral line we can decide to cross at work or not. We can step in and say "this isn't right". We all have our own limits. If a company passes our line, we can decide to stay and be a dissenting voice in a sea of "yes men" or we can move on.

The one thing that bugs me about a post like this is where does our complicity end? Did Drew also change all his investments to divest from Amazon or Facebook or other company that is making the world worse? Nestle is one of the most evil companies in the world. Are we all boycotting all their products and not investing in their companies? We can all do more to make the world a better place but each individual has to decide their own thresholds. It is impossible for each of us to stand against all the evils in the world. Most of us have been very happy with 30% returns in our retirement even though we secretly know it is driven by the same companies we claim must be stopped.
Most people just want to provide for their family and live their life. Not everyone can (or wants to) be a social justice warrior. It is a very complicated issue and I think we paint it too black and white at times.

Apple and DOJ fight over photos that have ‘national security concerns’
‘In the latest of the case’s twists, the DOJ has asked that Apple’s request for deposition of Corellium cofounder Chris Wade be delayed, but hasn’t openly stated why. The government says it wants to know what evidence Apple is planning on presenting before its lawyers question Wade.

‘The evidence has not yet been revealed, though in its court filing Friday, Apple counsel wrote that it “includes photographs Apple obtained” that “reveal highly sensitive information about sources and methods related to Apple’s internal investigation.” Apple said it was happy to hand the evidence to the government, but wanted assurances about its confidentiality, which it claimed the government had not provided.‘

This evolutionary take on matters feels like a template

"
Unhappy about <MODERN SITUATION> ? Well, in the stone age <MODERN SITUATION> wouldn't have happened, therefore, genes/anatomy not adapted and blah blah.

Addicted to <MODERN HABIT> ? Well, cro-magnons found it hard to <SATISFY NEED> and genes/biology adapted to move us to <SATISFY NEED>. So now that we have solved the problem, you still have these genes that get you addicted to <MODERN HABIT>...
"

It was an interesting thought the first few times that I encountered it. Now it feels like a cheap way to sound clever. "Oh, this guy has an evolutionary basis for his opinions, he must know so much about history biology and genetics too"

I propose we slowly let this cliche fall out of fashion.

Having read this a second time, I suspect that "technology" here is represented by "web framework launch Silicon valley velocity board IPO tickets vulture-capitalist 'go big or go home' standup burnrate" and little else.

Not all technology is like that. Technology happens without the constant churn of frameworks popping in and out of vogue, without a dependency being drug into the Google Graveyard on little notice, without scrum and story points. Technology happens without a single investor around. Technology happens outside of California ... it even can occur in the flyover states.

First, go make something with your hands. Or learn to. Makerspaces are shut most likely and of course Techshop folding was a drag but ... make something other than a sandcastle of bits that will be washed away when the moon of fashion drags a wave of fickle adherence over your hard work. Smash it or give it away. Now do it again, and again. You will like your third version.

Make something for yourself, that no investor will ever see. You will not make a dime out of it. Go ahead and program something to automate a personal itch. Maybe you just want to see what movies are around within fifty miles and then you won't to pick a theater; try prying that data out of some feeds and re-organizing it. Write something that alerts you on Wednesday when a new moon is going to be on a Friday or Saturday night so you can go to look at the stars somewhere far from the city. Do it without unit tests or deployment or CI/CD or a single git command.

Look for a problem where you work with the data, not with the UX or presentation or reaching for Bootstrap. Something where the web is not involved.

I can tell you what the lesson here is but you should do these things and figure out why it all feels so different and what you didn't like about ... before.
i've got a shop in walking distance.

someone transporting it in a vehicle is also an option which I very seldom use for groceries but almost everything else does come to my house this way.

access to shelter, food and water should be a basic human right. access to a car and it's supporting infrastructure shouldn't. consider what would have to happen to not need a car to get groceries instead of fueling the positive feedback loop of communities designed for cars and cars only. i've been to a development surrounded by a highway on all sides, you literally couldn't get out of it legally in any way which didn't involve a car. of course people jaywalked to walmart on the other side of one of the two-lane roads.

You can disagree with the design you prefer, but there are design fundamentals that are non-negotiable.

The minimal "spartan" design of Sourcehut probably works great for their audience. The same design approach would not work for Stripe.

People are still going to work and coming back to their communities, including healthcare workers who are highly exposed. People are still going shopping, touching the same products while bringing them home. People are still getting deliveries of food and packages that have passed countless hands and surfaces. People are still walking around neighborhoods, touching gates, benches, doors, signs, tables, cars, mailboxes, etc.

While I don't doubt your efforts, I do doubt how effective they are. I'm not sure why such a question is so controversial. People are messy, and we vastly underestimate our interactions with the world.

> when you are making as much as you are as a programmer at BIGCORP

This argument only holds water when you're making a lot of money relative to the cost of living where you live.

Most software engineers, even at FANG, aren't really earning that much relative to cost of living. A $70k salary in most of the rest of the country buys you a better quality of life and allows you to better support your family than $180k in the SF Bay Area. You also need to remember that as you go up in salary, the government takes more and more of each incremental dollar.

My older brother for example is an out of work chef and married to a nurse and lives in another state. He has a nicer house and is raising two kids, while my partner and I gross about 3-4x what they are earning.
Go and Rust were designed for other things... why wouldn't you compare it to the big language that was actually designed to compete in the same space as PHP? NodeJS.

Front end devs are already programming in JS, so there's less adoption cost than PHP. I can't think of a single reason to use PHP over Node (I know both, and have delivered projects in both).

The comparison to .Net and Spring makes me think you might be a bit behind the curve. Have you tried Node?

Bad hires of course happen. I don't think that's relevant.

Say I work at a place where (1) no criminal backgrounds is a rule, and (2) I have a candidate we would hire except for rule (1). If I personally push for an exception to rule (1) and the person turns out to be a bad hire -- and particularly if the badness of the hire is related to crimes -- I strongly suspect that will become a me problem.

Things aren't so black and white. By some people's standards, Amazon has been exploiting warehouse workers for quite a while now (unpaid bathroom breaks and so on). By others', Amazon warehouses provide jobs to poor communities.

Facebook may be bad for privacy, but communities of all sorts get together and old friends reconnect on their platforms. Instagram brings beauty to lots of people. Remember how things were before that? I do. It was much worse. Is it worth the price? That's for everyone to decide for themselves (and for lawmakers to enforce).

But saying that all bigcorps are evil and nobody should work for them is a VERY simplistic view of the world.
The N64 emulation scene has always been heavily drama filled, going back at least 20 years to the original Oman archives. While the system architecture is bizarre, that's fine, we can cope with that. It's always just been a very toxic social space that has pushed a lot of the more talented emulator developers away.

As someone who is in "emulation-adjacent" communities, just yesterday I ran into a giant new pocket of N64 drama I was previously unaware of.
