1. Because doctors and nurses and lawyers are required to go through specific education programs to become doctors and nurses and lawyers. Having the knowledge is not enough for those fields - the classes are required if you want to legally be a doctor/nurse/lawyer.
Software development is not that way. You can learn it on your own and prove yourself on the job.

2. So become a doctor or a nurse or an affordable lawyer! Or, if you don't want to put the effort in to become one of those, but it is still important to you that there be more of them, support a sibling or niece/nephew to become one. We developers make a lot of money - set up a scholarship or at least offer to pay for books for someone else who needs the help to become a doctor/nurse/lawyer.
The transition will be faster because of that a big chunck of the internet is gatewayed through a few big players (e.g. Cloudflare, AWS, CDNs, the new wave of static deployment services like Netlify and Zeit.co, big websites like google, facebook, netflix, etc...)
You have to imagine the scene. I walk to the meeting. Sweaty palms. I re-play every interaction I've had with that colleague in my head, trying to think of what I could have done that offended her. I can't think of anything, which is somehow worse, because I have no idea what I'm walking into.

Then HR rep shows up with a box of markers, paper, and are like, "we're doing drawings!" and I'm just like, "we're what now".

After talking to her, my colleague also thought she was in trouble somehow.

> Second, what Brian was reportedly told when accepting the job by Ariel Kelman (at the time, AWS’s VP of Global Marketing) was to the effect of “oh, don’t worry; AWS has never enforced that non-compete clause against someone at your level/in your role/in this department.”

My standard response to this is "great, then you won't mind if I strike it from the contract".

EDIT: Reading on, I agree with the article: This "oh don't worry" is standard to get you to sign, so act like they will definitely enforce this in your case and plan accordingly.

I don't think this is about being offensive or sensitivity. From the subordinates perspective, a joke about being fired could be a way of telling them that they are underperforming. Or it could be a false alarm.

It is perfectly rational for them to spend a huge amount of effort thinking and worrying about where they stand. If you say you wouldn't, then you are the one making a mistake. So in conclusion, making the joke imposes a big effort and burden on the target.
Show HN: Turn your browser into a Supermachine
Hi!

I'd be grateful for any feedback.

I am building a tool that replaces cloud servers with your own browser capabilities: Rapidly analyze websites and augment existing websites with superuser features.

Extract emails from websites for free, perform real-time SEO analysis or basically extract any information if there's an extraction model available.

(Private Beta) Augment websites with additional features, such as scheduling your tweets directly from twitter.com.

I like the idea of performing computations closest to the user. Two major benefits I see there: (1) Efficiency - use the available power, save costs. (2) Privacy - keep your data locally and download models to process the data.

I see this as an alternative to SaaS.

Currently, I am focusing on tools that can help you grow your niche business.

In the long-run, I want to turn my browser into a local, personal "metamind" which can narrow the gap between me wanting to take an action, and performing the action (such as finding information, deploying a landing page etc.).
There's nothing subtle about that kind of behavior. Contemptible, yes, but not subtle.
Yeah, this reminds me of when I first got out of college: I worked at a small company and I never took vacations. After a couple years of never taking a vacation day, the owner started 'forcing' me to take vacations by paying for hotel and airfare to anywhere I wanted.

Oh haha, memories.

We had a co-founder who pulled an "April 2nd" joke about 1/3 of the team being let go because of a non-poaching agreement between their old publisher and the studio. Kept it going for about 15 minutes until he finally let on that it was a joke.

They got him back pretty good, stuck an annoy-a-tron in his office for ~6 months. We'd all deny hearing it when it chirped in meetings or during standup.

That a service should have it all is not an unreasonable demand, and it is peculiar that you chide someone for "justifying piracy". After all, the HN crowd is generally very sympathetic to Library Genesis, which is aiming to gradually contain all books on all subjects, and therefore the curious reader can conveniently and at no cost learn about classic 20th-century literature, copyright be damned. Someone who wants the same solid cultural education with regard to films will not be served very well by the commercial offerings compared to torrent communities, but a cultural education is more precious than anyone’s claim to copyright.

As for "there is not an objectively agreed upon list of the great films", there may not be one single list, but as a broad consensus one can take the overlapping suggestions of the critics who contribute to the Sight and Sound poll, the winners at Cannes and Venice, those films and directors who have been celebrated year after year in Cahiers du Cinéma, and so forth.

Thats's not really true.

If you are a native English speaker, it might surprise you to learn that English adjectives have a default order. We normally say "the big red ball" but "the red big ball" sounds decidedly odd unless there's an explicit contrast ("No, not the blue one. I want the red big ball"). This is apparently taught in ESL classes, but neither I nor any of my native-speaker colleagues remember learning it in school.

You have an "intuitive" model of physics in your head that allows you to rapidly determine if piles of objects are stable without grinding through balance-of-forces calculations. It's not exact, and deviates from reality in interesting ways, but it's there. https://www.pnas.org/content/110/45/18327.short

You have all kinds of implicit priors that help you make sense of sensory input. You have some idea of the speed and smoothness with which things move, how an object's apparent size changes as you move towards or away from it and how it might look under different lighting conditions. People share some, but not all of these priors, and they're hard to elicit, hence the endless discussion about The Dress that was either black/blue or white/gold.

Administration has always been hit very hard. People don’t remember, but in the 1950s offices regularly had dozens of people who’s only job was calculating things and drafting charts and reports. In some domains they were literally called “computers”, since “compute” has a meaning prior to the electronic computers we now know.

All of these jobs were replaced by a spreadsheet decades ago.
This gets interesting, especially with Dave Chapelle, but professional comedians like Dave and Seinfeld etc. have one very specific attribute that allows them to punch up, sideways and even down – everyone always knows they're joking (sometimes even when they're not). And comedians have no power of their own, so they can speak truth to power as much as they want.

The problem is only when someone with power punches down, unlike a professional comedian (who has no power over the group s/he's punching at). That's fine, we can all laugh at ourselves.

There's also a problem with punching down when you're not a professional comedian, because now nobody knows you're joking. If you try this, you'll sound racist/classist/sexist/elitist.

The rules about comedy don't apply to professional comedians, because you know if they break them they're still trying to funny. Just like if a beginner plays a bad note on a piano, it's a novice mistake, but if a master does it it's dissonance that shakes your soul.

So far as I can see they won't. Because QUIC (and thus HTTP/3) is always encrypted your fallback is always a TLS connection.

Modern TLS agrees the sub-protocol to use (in this case h2 = HTTP/2) early with ALPN. If that ALPN sub-protocol isn't available that same connection just becomes HTTP/1.1 (over TLS) instead.

So there's no reason to fall all the way to HTTP/1.1 without asking if HTTP/2 is available.

That's true. But with TS I have to declare types, import typings, maintain a build process to run the TS compiler, and so on. Moreover, static typing comes with added tediousness, and I personally feel that it's not worth the freight.
I have sort of a first hand account of what the current problem with (At least one area of automation) is.

Up until the quarantine I was working in a cowork space; and it happens that - I'm the sole employee of the company I work for in my country - all the desks around me were occupied by a company that makes a lot of their income providing automation to other parties.

I even worked for them for a few months as an "on demand" consultant; the idea would be that I would provide assistance to their devs when they needed help with the "programs" they were developing, and that fastly turned into a process review that eventually cooled off because they weren't - the project manager, at least - very keen on taking my advice.

What I observed was that - bear in mind this is a 3rd world country - the salaries were rather low, so obviously they couldn't get experienced people.

This lead to they having to train them, but as they had no experience, the way in which they approached solving the issues where, a lot of times, "complicated".

Usually they suffered from the apps being interfaced having changes along the project (Or after). This meant they had to fix a lot of problems that were not there in the beginning.

AS the devs had only experience with this tool, and was their first experience coding, they couldn't make the most of the other tools at hand. This mostly lends to processes that take hours to complete, being the execution time only marginally better than a person. This coupled with the issue right above this, many of the projects had a time excess of around 100% (Effectively taking double the time that was allotted in the beginning). Last I heard from them, thought, is that they made a lot of improvements here.

In one particular project I practically had to threat the person responsible to use javascript to fetch data from the browser instead of the "native" way of doung that (Basically, querying the page through the tool with xpath expression).
When they did change to javascript, the process execution time was reduced by >90%

All in all, the problem I see with automation is that the people doing that is not formally trained in coding, and the tools I looked at have rather weak integrations with the most used apps today (Namelly, browsers).

I think the idea for many of these tools is to allow people to automate themselves, but that will lead in my opinion into the "phpization" of the automation area.

All in all, there are a few caveats: I know from them of at least one company that had a rather strong and professional dept., and they where _very_ good at it.

I think that eventually automation is going to take the world by storm in the next 5- 10 years. And those that adopt early will have a clear advantage over those that not.

For the record, the tool they use is Blue Prism; according to the CEO of this company BP has some sort of marked edge over UIPath when it comes to enterprise settings. I know there are other tools in the market, but I don't know them except by name.

To make a .1mm (1/32") aluminium foil that shadows all the Earth, the cost is approximately 84 trillion dollars https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=pi+*+%28%28earth+radiu... and that does not include the material to provide some structural support for the thin surface.

And it doesn't include shipping and handling that is at least 10000 more if you put it at a geostationary orbit [1].

(And later remember to consider some maintenance cost, fuel for orbit adjustment...)

If you want to cover only a 1% of the surface, just divide that by 100, that is about 8400 trillions dollars.

[1] It's a big structure, so the calculation is more complicated than the calculation with a small satellite. Ask a rocket scientific before launching.

> To expand on the article’s point, I think the biggest thing young managers don’t understand is that people are going to be insincere to you as a basic showing of respect and a basic desire for career preservation. They’re going to smile and appear to enjoy you and laugh at your jokes and seem ok with everything, much moreso than they otherwise would.

I know it's hard and it took me until my 30s with a long career behind me but I really wish people would be more vocal about their issues to their managers, even if it's about their management style or them burning people out, etc. There is a huge chance that you're not the only one with those feelings and there might be people newer to the team or career that are afraid of speaking up for things that they really truly disagree with, or just the people who get anxious with confrontation.

> Indeed, there is no performance benefit from having TCP in the kernel. That's why one of the most common tactics in high-performance networking is to move the TCP stack into userspace.

But a userspace network stack only make sense in single purpose devices/servers, because they have to take over the hardware, right?

On a consumer device many applications can use the network concurrently.

QUIC runs on top of UDP anyway, so userspace libraries use OS UDP facilities, but lose the ability to do better cross-application balancing. Hardware TCP offloading also plays a role of course.
Reflecting dangerous soundwaves back to the police may be prosecuted as assault on a police officer, a serious crime (automatic felony in NYC, for instance).
At $work, udp/443 is blocked to the internet specifically because our corporate proxy can't deal with QUIC and Chrome tries using it a lot.

Companies have a legal and moral imperative to see what content is leaving their network, and until some combination of host/network governance is developed to only allow pre-authorized traffic to egress, MITM boxes will need to be supported.
It seems as if I've been using a different definition of deliberate practice to the author. They seem to imply that deliberate practice requires a regimented study program, but I've always seen it as "identify the things you are weak at and drill those things, rather than repeating tasks you are already comfortable with". Is there a name for the type of practice I've been doing?

Show HN: Quick apply to any online job application
What about EKR's

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-esni/

... do you feel is unreasonable?
Hi HN,
A few months ago I was applying to internships and noticed that most online job applications are rather tedious and repetitive. They often involve creating an account, uploading your resume, and then copy and pasting different parts of your resume into a form (education, work history, skills, certifications, etc.). I assume this is done so that the hiring manager never actually needs to look at the uploaded resumes and to making automatic screening of candidates easier.

Some job search sites offer “Quick apply” where you fill out all of your information once and then apply to participating jobs with one click. However, the number of supported job applications is quite limited and there’s a good chance jobs you’re interested in won’t support the feature.

So that’s why I created Hoxly Jobs which offers universal quick apply to any job application available online.
Pinterest is a horror, there are Google searches where half the results visible at first are Pinterest links with various TLDs (pinterest.com, .fr, .de etc.)
“In 2019, Hall earned well in excess of one hundred thousand dollars per year, annualized.”

This was shocking to me - I'd expect a VP to be making much more, but if they were, then you'd expect it to be included in the complaint.
Is Amazon's comp really this low? Or is "VP of Product Marketing" similar to "VP" at an investment bank (lower rung of middle management, rather than an exec title)? Something else?
I think the bigger issue is just that Google becomes even closer to a monopoly on information and the information being presented here is by design surface level. Maybe Wikipedia shouldn't care about surface level answers. They are designed for more detailed information.
It's funny that productivity growth is a sign of slowing automation, when it's not actually about growth in productivity as much as it is about the consolidation of capital in fewer hands and lower continued expenses.

The real messed up part is that expenses don't actually have to have gone down - you could have a smaller number of people charging the company a lot more and siphoning off money to do the same work because they don't actually run a company based on efficient production and engineering standards, they run a piggy bank. A lot of those went bankrupt in 2008 and were bailed out by the government. More are on the brink and being bailed out now.
No worries! It's always good to have a healthy dose of skepticism on the Net.
