Let’s look at the last 40 years. We funded Osama and the Sandinistas in the 80s, the second Iraq War and Afghanistan to start.

Unless there are a lot of Americans being killed, no one cares.

If Trump were truly trying to pull back on the military industrial complex, he would cut military spending on weapons that goes to private industry - especially weapons that the military doesn’t even want - and finally close some of the military bases that military leaders are suggesting but the civilian government keeps open as a make jobs program.
I've got comments elsewhere in this threat on this topic. Basically, the opcode space wasn't big enough to add new 16-bit addressing modes properly, so they bolted on a 'mode' flag and it's super awkward. It's hacky.

FDA Updates on Hand Sanitizers with Methanol
As much as I'd love to use more performant APIs and programs that crash less on my daily basis, I don't see Rust even close to overtaking Python.

For starters, memory management in Python is trivial while in Rust the developer has to learn a whole new set of skills in the form of borrowing, lifetimes and ownership.

And for large projects where Python's limitations hamper team coordination, GC'd languages such as C# and Java offer much softer learning curve and a mature ecosystem. Even when performance is critical, projects get by just fine with using Java like in High Frequency Trading shops.

Perhaps we shouldn't settle for Rust but refine the idea in a new, more ergonomic, language with focus on achieving the same but with lower cognitive load. Faster compilation times wouldn't hurt too.
So let's handle it as a moral question. The classical liberal claim is then that the moral right that certain things should not be done to you beats the moral right of others that you should do certain things for them. Which is exactly the distinction between negative and positive rights. And furthermore, that these will unavoidably conflict, wherefore the enforcement of positive rights must lead to morally inferior outcomes.

Obviously a typo, they probably meant 1-2 years, which is realistic. While this is probably not actually the case here, I see it quite often that companies have unrealistic expectations when it comes to work experience with technologies like k8s. For example it is quite common here in Berlin to expect 4+ years of k8s experience. Which is unrealistic to find taking into account that k8s initial release was 6 years ago. It is paradox that companies want to use the latest technologies and require years of work experience at the same time.

Ask HN: Sacrifice Seniority for Better Long Term Career Prospects?
I’m currently at Job A where I have some seniority (5+ years) and a minor leadership role (tech lead on a small project). I enjoy what I’m doing and like the leadership experience. A larger leadership role is my goal, but I don’t see any opportunities for that anytime soon.

I now have the option for Job B, where I would have no seniority and little leadership (to start with). However, I would learn a lot of new technologies and tools, which would greatly enhance my skill set. Pay would be similar (good for the area) and Job B has a better pool of talented engineers to learn from.

Should I trade the seniority I’ve built up at Job A for a chance to learn more hard skills at Job B?

You are confused. Supporting the C ABI and operator overloading are orthogonal. One is about conventions for saving registers and such. The other is about the naming of functions. Zig probably has a principled reason to not support operator customization, but ABI concerns aren't it.

Agreed. When nano unexpectedly pops up, I'm confused, have no idea how to do anything, or even how to exit, but I'm a power-nerd and I can quickly figure it out. When someone who's never used Vi unexpectedly finds themselves in it, they're far worse off. I know nano is trivial to learn, but I run into it so rarely that I haven't bothered. There's enough help on-screen for me to escape and that's as far as I've gotten.

I feel like that is a consequence of people being so entrenched in a centralized mindset that the possibility of a user customizing their own version of the software doesn't even occur to them. Open source is frequently touted as allowing anyone to make changes to the software to suit their needs. If somebody hears that while having the incorrect mental model of a single canonical version of software, I can see how they would assume that anyone can contribute to that single canonical version.
> apparently printing trillions and and not having a gold standard has nothing to do with it

Printed trillions because of Covid-19. It would have been grim situation without the stimulus. 12-14% unemployement, no stimulus would have closed thousands of business, and would have increase unemployement. People who has money (Silicon valley engineers) is not going to invest in rural Ohio.

Wages are stagnated because of policies and misinformation. Federal minimum wages should be raised at least $12 and tied to inflation with universal health care.

Inflation is record low. Not sure what you talking about.

Its time to be robin hood. Tax high income, tax stock buy backs, higher capital gain taxes etc.

Its pathetic that people making $500k/year pays less than $75k in Federal income tax (14%).
I just hope companies get rid of the "hr recruitment" team. These people are utterly clueless folks, who hardly know anything about technology and worse these people call the shots when the time comes to settle on pay package.

Yeah, so make the engineers produce the requirements for the particular jobs. HR should not be in the business of defining technical requirements for jobs.

Why? Is the idea that meat has a unique ethical component that a consumer must grapple with up close by killing and butchering?

There seem to be many items we consume that have complicated and unethical production processes, but nobody goes around telling people they need to make their own cell phone or t shirt at least once in a while.

There will be a point when you type: "./configure; make" and the system you are trying to build turns out to be partially written in Rust. At that point, it can be useful to have at least some Rust under your belt.

Lack of time for hobbies is more likely the culprit.

Young people are attending post secondary schools in higher numbers. They are racking up debt faster than prior generations. Their summer jobs are no longer sufficient to pay for tuition. Housing is more expensive as are cars so they have to work longer. Child care is now as much as a full time job. Students are required to do unpaid volunteer work and unpaid internships.

Having trouble to fall asleep and sleeplessness is typically called insomnia, that it is paired with delayed sleep phase is an unfortunate side-effect for those days that I did get (some) sleep, and from my preference for working when it is quiet (ie: nights).

The one feeds into the other which eventually results in missing lots and lots of sleep. I was under the - mistaken - impression that you can get by on 4 hours of sleep or less but this is really not the case so if you suffer from this in some for or other then better take it serious.

Sticking to a routine, avoiding stressful subjects just before sleep, relaxing activities (music, reading) before trying to fall asleep all helped in making it easier to fall asleep. Staying asleep is another matter, and addressing the noise that reaches my bedroom is one more thing I plan on tackling to avoid frequently waking up during the night.
At most jobs I've had the recruiters pretty much always work with the hiring manager on editing the job requirements and all that. Sure it could still just be a mistake, or it could mean the hiring manager wasn't in the loop.

Not a sleep expert by any means. I think it all depends on the quality of sleep you get. I don't see a problem with that as long as you get the sleep you need and feel rested during your day.

I used to be a night owl too. But with kids and everything things changed over the years. These days it's hard for me to stay awake past 11pm. I also wake up early around 6am, which in the past was unheard-of for me. I actually enjoy my early mornings alone for the same reasons mentioned in the post about the quiet at night.

One thing I find important is not falling asleep before my usual bed time. It usually happens when I watch a movie or something. After I wake up, unless I'm dead tired, it can take me much longer to fall asleep when I actually go to bed.
I wonder if people suggesting we change how we speak are also willing to give up vulgarity which is also offensive.
I keep seeing the argument is full of talented and “smart people” (tm) as a competitive advantage. While I don’t doubt that the actual engineers are some of the smartest people in the world, their leadership and product managers are so rudderless, it seems like it’s wasted.

Despite years of trying, they are still a one trick pony - advertising - where 90% of their revenue comes from.
Problems can be quite humbling.

Taking on big stuff isn't necessarily a "big ego" thing, but getting upset that we didn't solve the problem might be.

In my experience, big problems get solved by teams. It's important to be a good team member, even if we are "close to the gods." From what I understand, Feynman seemed to work well in teams, but I never worked with him, so I don't know.

False humility isn't helpful either.

I have worked with, and known, many truly brilliant folks. Some were unbearable, and getting on their team meant you drew the short straw.

Others were so self-effacing that it was actually embarrassing. It was difficult to be on a team with them, as we often accidentally treated them disrespectfully, or ignored their input.

I think it was Mandela that said: "You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you."
Ironically I'm reading this as the clock reads 5:23am and I'm just winding down for the night. Out my office window I can see the sun rising.

I've broken this habit in the past. When my wife was working as a teacher and I dropped her off at work every morning, I was up and out every weekday at 7:30am, and at work by 7:50. I got a ton of stuff done in the morning because no one else started showing up until 9am at least.

But now, during quarantine, we set no alarms. No one in the family has to be anywhere at any particular time. And so we've all shifted, even the kids. All of wake around noon, and the kids go down around 2am (and the adults between 4am and 6am).

Late nights just seem to be our natural schedule, but all it takes is an alarm and an early morning responsibility to shift the family schedule.
A Box is not a pointer. It is an object with regular one-owner, no copies semantics. Semantically, it just breaks the object out so that it isn’t “internal” to whatever contains it (useful for keeping individual objects small or working around the requirement that a type have a known, finite size).

A pointer and a heap allocation are the obvious choice for implementing this, but the semantics are notably different than just being a pointer. Rust also does have pointer types which represent true pointers.

> Weak argument as this is America's Saudi Aramco.

Microsoft (or Apple) is America's Saudi Aramco, if we're speaking of important & highly profitable corporations.

They're vastly more profitable than Google or Facebook, and far more sustainable (in terms of market position, regulation, anti-trust, etc). In fact, Microsoft ($52b) will soon have as much operating income as Google ($35b) and Facebook ($26b) combined, and will soon surpass Apple ($65b; which has barely grown its operating income in four years and has weak prospects for income growth).

To make matters worse, Google is stagnating and losing their hold on the ad market (while being pursued for anti-trust). Google also suddenly lost their leadership, Larry & Sergey cast Alphabet adrift after creating that mess, said good luck and adieu (to run & hide from the legal tsunami). Microsoft by contrast is booming, has a solid regulatory context, and has one of the world's best CEOs at the helm.

Here is Microsoft's income growth: $22b -> $35b -> $43b -> $52b

If I were a nation, I'd rather own Microsoft than Aramco, much less Google & Facebook. Easy choice.

Aramco has a collapsed future and they're trapped in low oil price hell indefinitely. Microsoft is probably going to $75-$80 billion per year in operating income in five years, on their way to $100 billion this decade. As far as individual corporate entities goes, nothing like the Microsoft profit machine has ever existed before (Apple comes the closest, and they're stuck in a zero growth smartphone market). Apple's cost of revenue is 61.8% of sales; Microsoft's cost of revenue is 31.7% of sales, their operating income margin is a wild 37.4% (given their scale it's something beyond extraordinary).

This is the essence of teaching: planning out what to gloss over and explain later.

I see many tech:nerd people explain this bottom-up instead of bottom-down because they can’t imagine skipping details for later. The reality is that students are intrigued by “I’ll explain what that means later” and it builds interest.

I explain how our website works by first telling a big lie: your computer requests a webpage and we have one big computer that replied with the answer. I then explain that I just lied. I then break it down: a web page requires many elements. Each requested individually. I then explain we don’t have one big computer but a cluster behind a load balancer. I then explain the many benefits of a load balancer. Then I explain that the web cluster depends on databases and other services.

All-in-all I expose 5-6 “lies” as I break down each component.

I’ve gotten positive feedback from both non-developers, entry-level developers, and expert developers.

I’ve also seen people give a bottom up description and everyone was confused at the end.

Why do top-down descriptions work better even though they initially gloss over (lie) To the audience?

Because the high level description gives The audience a mental roadmap to follow. Then we back up and walk through that roadmap in more detail. Then we walk through again in even more detail.

The entire time the audience understands where we are going and fits each bit of new information into their mental model, expanding it as we go.

Here’s how it feels to be explained to in a bottom-up manner: imagine I spent an hour with you listing out left and right turns. At the end of the hour I tell you “and that’s how You drive from NYC fo San Francisco”. JFC, Tom, couldn’t you have started with that!?!?

Don’t be that guy.

An explanation isn’t a murder-mystery novel with a surprise ending. Start with “these butler did it” and work backwards from there.

I was conflating two useful sleep tracking metrics, SpO2 and Sleep Stages, my bad. You are correct, Garmin’s sleep tracking does not require the red LED SpO2 to estimate sleep stages. Since the sleep stage algorithm is Machine Learning derived, it is plausible that SpO2 data could improve sleep stage predictions but that is speculation.

I skimmed through the Fenix review you linked to and I didn’t see anything like your “generally regarded as terrible” claim. From the conclusion:

> ...adding in Pulse Oximetry support and the ClimbPro bits, to differentiate themselves in a way not seen before. There’s no question this feature is targeted directly at the high-altitude folks that historically would have gone Suunto.

Pulse Oximetry in continuous trackers is relatively new and the extra battery consumption may indeed turn out to be an unacceptable trade-off. The Oura was used by the NBA to predict COVID-19 infection. I assumed, therefore, that SpO2 was tracked. It is a useful metric and I find the possibility of having it in a finger ring form factor intriguing.
