I totally agree with you on the fact that for a skilled engineer good code does not comes with a bigger cognitive load (nor time spent). But I would like to challenge your point on writing maintainable and understandable code. One can argue that writing maintainable code following the best practices it's just a set of conventions that are useful just because we have no better solution right now. It's a solution that works but can be very well be improved for instance by removing the needs of writing code in the first place (ie: with some very advanced level of code generation). About the understanding bit I usually look at tests for understanding code, it's easier for me to read an English statement that tells me what a things does rather then trying to understand it starting from how the problem has been solved in details. Code is for machines, "it should do this" is for humans.

Guess there's not a lot of DC fans on here, must be a Marvel crowd!

In all seriousness, I live with a type 1 diabetic and I'm really, really glad that her insulin isn't delivered by mail anymore. This particular instance of fuckery could have literally killed my best friend.

It's mind boggling to me that this is being treated so brazenly as a political football. I'm sure there are inefficiencies and bottlenecks that could be addressed, but literally stopping the mail to illustrate some notion about how the market could somehow create a better solution is reckless and frankly pretty disgusting.

If this turns out to be somehow punitive because a certain somebody doesn't like mail-in voting, I'll be incredibly unsurprised.
Ok I think what happens here is that we assume for the real numbers an increasing sequence which is bounded converges. I think that a number system with this property is probably already hard to construct in constructive math.
> Open source means you can read the source.

No, that's "visible source" or "source available". Read the Open Source Definition: https://opensource.org/osd

It even addresses your misconception right up front: "Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code."

> The idea that all my work must be FOSS is somebody else's ideal, and one that has kept a lot of people I know from getting paid.

You can get paid even if everything you build is FOSS. Look at Red Hat.

> Whatever you think about "license proliferation", that's like, your opinion. What world are you from that I can't have my own license for my own work? What kind of lemmings notion is it that I should only use a well known, open source license, especially a license that explicitly gives my work away uncompensated to random people on the internet?

Even if your bespoke license were open source, there's a very good chance that it would be incompatible with other licenses like the GPL, thus creating more ZFS-on-Linux sort of problems.
That petition made national news at 2000 signatures.

2000 is virtually meaningless, in a country of 300 million people, and yet it was getting significant news coverage.
> They're Floridians. They've fortified their immune systems by huffing bath salts and committing acts of cannibalism.

Replace Floridian with any other regional group of people, and maybe you'll see that the only reason you get away with saying something so hateful is because the public sentiment towards Florida has shifted in recent years.

Now here's the real question I propose : Because public opinion has made it okay to make fun of a group of people, are you personally okay with bringing the conversation down to that level?

Personally speaking, I'm not.

I humbly ask you to reassess your urge to discriminate against an entire group of people, just because they happen to have rolled the dice and landed on Florida.

I send an email to four or five external recruiters that I have been working with or years , they send me a list of jobs, matching requirements, pay range and location.

I tell them which jobs I am interested in, they submit my resume to the company, handle all of the scheduling and follow up with the hiring managers since they don’t get paid if I don’t get hired. I didn’t need to do any research.

Without being a special snowflake, I’m batting close to 100% using the process -Application/non rejection.
I'm very familar with the OCaml module system. If modular implicits were a thing, I'd say OCaml would be great. But functors are a poor substitute for typeclasses, atleast without modular implicits.

Why would you assume that I'm not aware of a core feature of OCaml? Why would I even post about OCaml if I knew nothing (or hadn't written production code in it) about it?
I'm not entirely convinced simple is better for enterprise apps. I'm a consultant who has to jump around between a lot of project management tools like Asana, Jira, and Azure devops and the simpler the interfaces make me far more frustrated.

It doesn't make any sense at all to me. It wasn't numbers as such he was having trouble with, he could still do math, he just couldn't recognize the symbols. And he was even able to learn symbols for numbers again,as long as they were new ones he made up himself instead of the standard symbols.

It's a bizarrely specific cognitive deficit. It's not like "I can't remember your name", it's more like "I used to know your name, and I can remember this new name I've made up for you, but when you tell me your 'real' name, not only can't I remember it, I can't even make it out, it all turns to static."

Lies of UX web developers tell themselves, #1.
So the problem that constructive math has for real numbers is that it's hard to show real numbers exist at all, not that it's uncountable if you have its properties. Also the deeper point is that you have all the properties of the real numbers you can actually derive the law of excluded middle. (Coming from the supremum axiom)
Given the long list of contributors, maybe not all of them adhere to the same standards.
Love this. Well done.
Yes I do the same! Almost entirely through Terraform.

In no way does that hurt your knowledge! By doing everything in code you probably understand a lot more to begin with, since you don’t rely on some of the UI crutches and defaults.

Honestly I check the Terraform documentation before I even bother with AWS docs 99% of the time.

The system architect questions are definitely more high level architecture questions that revolve around understanding the AWS products and what trade-offs you make by choosing one of the the other.

Like any other multiple choice test, much of passing the test revolves around general test taking strategies (e.g. reading carefully and eliminating wrong answers)

I’m sure you’ll get the gist of it from the example questions that are out there (Amazon also has a few for free).

Understanding a few things about less commonly encountered products like Kinesis could help, too.

There’s a disappointing lack of awareness On the part of these “Florida man” commenters that this amazing feat took place in Florida.

This is stupidly dangerous for the people on those boats, and they probably don't realize it. Crew Dragon is basically unexploded ordnance with a helping of gasses toxic at the PPM level. Everything went right today, and they broke out the oxygen tanks and masks because there was too much toxic gas in the air. It is highly irresponsible to allow them close. They're more than welcome to assemble in international waters, so long as they don't do so right beside the explosive device.

This is not a private mission, this is a mission executed by the US government, who happened to subcontract out the vehicle to a private company. Hence why the government would reasonably be expected to pay for (directly, or indirectly as part of their contract) the security.

Regardless of who pays for the security, the government (US and otherwise) frequently provides security, that's because they have a monopoly on the use of force. Consider, for example, how oversized loads on highways are frequently escorted by police (dependent on local laws).
It’s very much possible to build a unikernel in rust. Google ‘rust unikernel’ and you’ll get results.

In fact I would argue that rust is much more suited to write low level things like operating systems and unikernels than ocaml. Having said that mirage is very cool. It is a unikernel and it has garbage collection. So it’s easy to write robust and secure services! Yeah anything written in rust will probably be faster but then unless you’re a mega company and have mega size deployments this should not really matter to you. Mirage should serve your needs well if you need unikernels

Most people on HN probably understand intuitively that account recovery questions don't work (the conventional response to them is "ignore the questions and use them as additional passwords"). But this paper highlights an interesting specific reason they don't work: there are demographic subsets of users for which specific questions, like "favorite food" or "city of birth", are particularly insecure.

Think of it as "falsehoods programmers believe about personal information security".

For a TLDR, look two the first two paragraphs of the last section:

"""""""""""""""""""""

The war on drugs has been fought largely with laws that were beyond Congress's powers to enact. Although it took a constitutional amendment to allow Congress to prohibit alcohol nationwide, the prohibition of now-illicit substances under the CSA took place without any such amendment. This is perhaps mainly a commentary on the Supreme Court's expansive reading of the Commerce Clause, but it should give pause to anyone who takes the Constitution seriously.

Beyond the modern drug war's legally dubious initiation, the strained legal interpretations and yawning exceptions officials have made to sustain the effort continue to warp our constitutional system. In prosecuting and expanding the war on drugs, the federal government has racked up colossal amounts of debt, fostered state protectionism, adopted countless new federal crimes, and invaded foreign countries without congressional authorization. Meanwhile, government actors at all levels have undermined Americans' freedoms of expression and religious exercise, deprived citizens of their rights to vote and bear arms, authorized warrantless searches and seizures of property without due process, and thrown tens of thousands of people — disproportionately racial minorities — into overcrowded prisons for sentences that are out of step with the crimes they've committed. These actions have changed our understanding of such foundational principles as limited government, federalism, and the separation of powers, all while casting doubt on America's commitment to the rule of law.

Looking at the replies to this comment, I can say you are correct on your last point.
My basic definition of UX is providing users data and decisions in a certain context.

In some contexts (selling), certain things are more important, like having a beautiful appearance and no data overload. Your first time user may be your most common user, because they may only make one purchase per [lifetime, year, etc]

In other contexts, for instance industrial controls, data density is more important, and the user may be expected to take more time to learn the interface. There is still some need to accommodate new users, because everyone is a new user at some point.

In any case, there is a decision to be made, aided by some data presentation.
Totally agree 100% with you. Shameless plug incoming - we've managed to ship an early build of our Unreal Engine 4 FPS game we've been working on to the web, and have been quite impressed with the performance considering it's nowhere near native.

Salivating at the idea of WebGPU + WASM + WebRTC once they've all matured. I truly believe the majority of existing software will be ported to the web, and new applications will target it as a first class platform. The benefits of being able to ship one codebase and target nearly every OS and platform outweighs any downsides that the translation/performance hit introduces. Our team at DigiPlay is excited to see a future where any developer ship their game on the open web, and not have to be beholden to the walled gardens that are Steam and the App Stores. Imagine not having to sacrifice 30% of your revenue to some gatekeeper? Now that's the future I can't wait to see.

But even that isn’t that clear either. Here in Spain the right wing has accepted and defended abortion (but they don’t want social security to pay for it), but it’s primarily the left that opposes sex work and surrogation.

No, this is different. Trump at that time was a "why the fuck not" to people who hated the current climate and wanted "change". He was an "unknown" as far as the governance he would provide.

Notreadable – a simple readability app I built
Hi all,

Notreadable is an app for assessing the readability of text (e.g. grade level, syllable count, difficult words, and more).

I built it after growing frustrated with other offerings (e.g. readable.com), which often require an email sign up, subscription, and/or are covered in advertisements.

Cheers
Much of "The Selected Work of Mao Zedong" is freely available online at [1]. Looking through the speeches readily available, I can't find any 1957 speech containing the content quoted above.

It looks the the only English language reference to the texted quoted above originates from a single Wikipedia edit from 2007 [2]. Neither the articles on "Re-education through labor" nor "Laogai" reference this quote.

It is my belief that this is likely a specious quotation. Mao likely did not say the text quoted.

Two things
1) The capsule is not that dangerous. The SpaceX recovery crew was wearing cloth masks and short sleeves when it was hoisted on to the recovery boat. Sure, there were some toxic fumes, but if the recovery workers who are trained and know what they're doing can be within inches of it not wearing PPE, I think some dudes on a boat can be 20m away.

2) I'm mainly playing devils advocate. I have no problem with the military running security. I was more trying to show that the there is no rational way to reconcile the beliefs of the police defunders who ALSO want the military to step in, in this case.

No. I want my code to run locally sometimes (possibly with a GPU), and sometimes I run the same code across hundreds of EC2 instances or just 1 instance, and I have good reasons for that. Sometimes a machine doesn't have a GPU, but I still want that code to run on it.
