Yes, I make the code myself.

I keep machine powered anywhere there is AC outlet. There are still quite a few around, but I'm now relying on friends for workspace.

I'm praying that soon my project will be appreciated enough that I will be welcome in more spaces.

I make a web-based forum system, ultra-compatible (mosaic, netscape, ie) and decentralizable (everything is stored as downloadable text files)

Computing while untethered from urbanism feels well-rounded to me. I am an animal/spirit, of this soil, water, plants, dirt. I am also an intelligence, and the 'net is where intelligences come together these days. So I feel like two essential parts of me are getting what they want.
I'm glad that doesn't work any more. I don't want arbitrary web pages to be able to run code as root on my phone.
"having a bell, ringing it when you overtake pedestrians, and waving and saying thanks" helps from both sides of this, IMHO. Bonus points if you maybe holler "cute dog!", "great hat!", or some other compliment instead of "thanks!".

I, too, ride or walk everywhere I go, and have several shared cyclist/pedestrian paths that I use a lot. My least favorite thing to encounter on the path, walking or riding, is that asshole with the multi-thousand-dollar racing bike and no bell who just blazes past me with no warning. Fuck that guy, "share the road" works both ways.
Interesting bit of "for science" this guy did. I've never looked into buying a Tesla. Just out of my price range. When you buy a Tesla, does it come with a charger for the home, or do you have to buy it separately? 190kph is absolutely insane, even on open highway.
Is it wrong that I’ve consistently had better experiences with paid apps than advertising supported apps? Perhaps it has something to do with the alignment of incentives.

Anyway, I don’t begrudge anyone who has worked in the ad business, but I do wonder if folks might be happier optimizing for something of real lasting value in comparison to the gambling business.
Similar reasons, at least. There is also usually a way to access the passenger compartment from the trunk.

If you like to be prepared for worst case scenarios, get a friend to duct tape your hands together and lock you in the trunk of your car and see if you can escape. Make sure the friend sticks around to rescue you if you fail or cry out for help.
It wasn't my intent to say that people designing serious systems don't like flashy things. More just that a lot of UI designers and projects posted on HN are focused on lower-stakes applications that can accommodate more artistic license.

But, my question is, did that actually make the war rooms less functional? In what ways did Hollywood get it wrong that they copied? Even a war room is a very different application than literally flying a fighter jet, which is arguably the most intense and demanding control experience in existence.
Longevity of the finished product and/or reusability of components should be taken into account as well. We haven't really had them long enough to know this for sure, but signs are that EVs have a longer service life, which means their embodied energy is amortized over more time.
We were looking for names that worked in both English and Spanish for our kids (a boy and a girl). Interestingly, neither kid's first name shows up in the listed intersections but their middle names do. For my daughter, she has a specifically Spanish first name, but one that's easily pronounced/spelled by English speakers (we gave up on "Elena" as her first name because of the frequent misspellings of that we encountered). Our son's name, according to my wife is valid in both languages but appears in the English-only part of the Venn diagram at the top of the list. (Children's actual names omitted for privacy.)
At least there is a way to opt-out compared to, say, things like this: https://hn.algolia.com/?query=carrieriq&sort=byPopularity&pr...

As someone dealing with a failed fridge right now, I’d beg to differ.

Most modern fridges rely on controllers that are vulnerable to fail in high heat conditions, which are common given the awful placement of the coils and motors of fridges.

The pursuit of energy efficiency replaced easily serviced, long lasting gear with “efficient” junk with a MTBF of ~60 months. I have a garage fridge that my dad pulled out of the garbage 35 years ago.
It's not. It's great. Most people forget that UX is like a language. You can't go about changing a language that people are accustomed to. It's a very expensive thing. Enterprise users pay a lot and are use to it. Changing the UX/UI means retraining tons of people, breaking integration that other businesses have built on their system. Most companies don't provide API, so businesses build on UI. What do you think happens when Amazon or Google or Facebook changes their UI? lots of businesses that screenscrape break. Now these customer are usually not paying, but imagine that they were paying. You now have a swarm of angry paying customers. I work in enterprise. There are lots of integration we have with other companies UI/UX. Over http, over terminal/mainframe. If anything changes, impact is millions. Of course to our shock and utter horror. NOT! Other businesses have built logic on our UI/UX. If we change some things, their integration breaks, hundreds of thousands or possibly millions of dollars at stake too. You see clunky, I see money, I see happy users, I see users familiar with the way it is and no retraining needed for 10,000 users.
This, is corruption, mixed with a dash of good old crony capitalism. Portland has some amazing neighborhoods, and this plan enables developers to build relatively high density apartment complexes without parking in those neighborhoods. The dogwhistles of "low density" and "low income" really just mean "no parking" and "full price for most of you".

Anecdotal example - They're building an ~80 unit 3 story apartment complex at the end of a relatively busy street that serves as a main artery for accessing the light rail - so the neighborhood already sees somewhat higher than average street parking usage - and they're doing all of this on a lot that's barely bigger than the houses next to it.

If you're ever curious about how Portland's city council handles most of their issues, just take a look at where the vast majority of homeless shelters are located in the city (hint - its OldTown-Chinatown), compare that to the demographics of the area (Its as dark as Portland gets), and then take a guess where they intend to add more homeless shelters.
Very interesting. My sons are Anglo-Persian and we considered for a while Alexander (Persian version is Iskandar) which for the latter has the root of Alexander the Great (Alexandros) .. .who was not considered as "great" in Persia of old. It's interesting how personal perception of homonymous friends & acquaintances along with cultural perceptions (Alexander for me was a hero, for my wife a villain) play into the naming game.

(Yes I googled "homonymous")
Funny, I just mentioned Star Trek replicators in another post:

ITT people who haven't done enough psychedelics. Half joking, but a solid dose of mushrooms or 5-meo-dmt to push you over the edge could leave you excited for your transition.
I understand they mask the employee name. But what company have they tried to hack?
It would be nice if cities established redevelopment funds, which admittedly would have to be substantial, to properly buy out homeowners and redevelop large tracts of land. The sort of piece meal, plot-by-plot redevelopment that is possible today is just not sufficient to allow for the kinds of redesign that are needed to remake cities.

Buying out existing homeowners reduces concerns about the externalities of densification. Pay them a fair price for their property and the inconvenience/trauma of relocation and then get on with making a truly livable, dense, efficient city.

That all assumes a government is even capable of predicting future trends(will retail die? will the next generation flee the city? will mfg jobs return? etc). But if we're going to play that game, lets play it competently.
According to my car salesman, if you can't spend $50k on a car, it isn't a car, it's a bicycle.
I'm glad too. But still, I don't think that has to mean "I can't run code as root on my phone".
Does Earth have the optimal atmosphere for this technique? How about putting telescopes on other planets with atmosphere?

I think the online ad business is collapsing (collapsing might be a strong word, but there's definitely a bubble bursting and the market needing a big readjustment) not because of technical problems but simply because people have a certain amount of time and attention and anything beyond that is a waste of money. The advertising industry unfortunately did not understand that and most people are saturated with ads (crappy, low-quality ones for the most part too) and learned to tune them out or outright block them. This may not have happened if the ad quantity remained reasonable.
Fully agreed. I didn't intend to imply a developer writing a test is wasting time, either!

Our team has been in situations where we're highly confident of the root cause, but we know creating a test to duplicate this might take hours, if not days. It might even be a fairly finicky scenario to try and setup.

Rather than letting customers have to handle the negative consequence of our bug for hours, we'll make the change, run it through our existing test suite (to make sure we're not making yet more troubles for ourselves!), and then release it after another teammate reviews the change.

But a test certainly will help with the confidence that the right thing was changed. I would definitely encourage writing a test if it's easy for your group to handle whatever negative consequences the bug existing in the wild is producing for as long as it takes to write a test.
As someone new to k8s and EKS it blows my mind things are only supported for such a short period of time. I find it very difficult to build a product on a platform in such constant flux. I'm struggling to see the benefits of k8s when things are rapidly being replaced and EOLd.
Just in case anyone here is considering donating to this project, do your due diligence. There is quite a bit of behind-the-scenes drama in the Cousteau family, which is why both Jacques's son, Jean-Michelle, and his grandson, Fabien, each have their own 501(c)(3) separate from the Cousteau society. JM has http://www.oceanfutures.org/ and Fabien has https://www.fabiencousteauolc.org/. According to JM, he broke away because the Cousteau society had been taken over and corrupted by one of Jacques's ex-wives. I never verified this, but it is consistent with Charity Navigator's one-star rating [1]. We used to be major supporters of Ocean Futures, but they too seem to have become dysfunctional. Neither JM's nor Fabien's organization even merits a rating on CN. It's kinda sad actually.

In short? We're going to tolerate it.

Embodied energy is a significant fraction of total emissions in a vehicle. It's unclear whether early retirement of existing ICE vehicles is a win; I'm sure someone has done the analysis, and I'm kind of hoping someone will jump in and provide a link to it.

Economics is an imperfect proxy for this, but not uncorrelated: if it makes sense in dollar accounting to sell the ICE fleet to developing nations to be used up, that suggests (but does not prove) that it makes sense in carbon accounting as well.
I had some psychedelics experiences before and after, but I was into the idea before that. Even after psychedelics, I still resisted the draw, because I was afraid for my own survival. I felt like the matrix is the only way.

It took some really harsh non-psychedlic but life-changing, harsh experiences I mentioned earlier to finally pull me away from it and realize that I was going down the wrong path for me.

As I mentioned in another comment, these experiences were a family member's illness, a couple of personal physical injuries (related to stress and rushing), and a stressful work environment.

If I had listened to the cues earlier, I could have transitioned before any of that happened, avoided a lot of the pain, and had a much easier time dealing with the unavoidable.

But life is all about lessons...
For now.

It’s very easy to see two steps ahead on this
I'm Irish, my partner is Dutch. We considered calling our daughter Eimear. In her dialect it would have been like calling her "bucket".

We opted for a different name ;)
> I don’t think most here grasp the implication of gutting ad attribution.

> All publishers (news sites, indie games, etc) are going to see huge drops in CPM. It could easily be a business ending shift.

Your second statement might not imply the first. It could be that publishers are going to see business disrupting shifts in CPM, and we are aware of that fact, and still support the changes.

"Why is everyone praising this? Don't they realize that it will make it harder to track them?"

At the same time, there's something really telling that after all of the years of the advertising industry talking about how users actually want to be tracked and targeted, they are nonetheless terrified of something as simple as a prominent opt-out button.

If advertisers sincerely believed that users wanted what they were offering, then they wouldn't view it as an existential threat for users to have the ability to turn the offer down. If the take is, "users having control over their own data will be devastating for the advertisers", then honestly that's kind of a big signal that the advertising industry is out of control and needs some business disrupting shifts.
Nope.

But it's intellectually dishonest to equate a legal activity tied to breaking the law with illegal activity tied to breaking the law, especially when the illegal activity helps break further laws.

People don't go into taxis to make profits by breaking the law. If they did break the law while securing taxi profits, then that becomes prosecutable, and should be pursued.

People do pirate material because by breaking that law, they can obtain profits not possible without breaking the law.

They also screw over consumers by selling such products on Amazon and elsewhere, and many times when a consumer needs help, or a return, or thinks they have a warranty, the fake goods screw them over. Note nearly every product cloned with a software component is a copyright violation, most anything with a logo is a trademark violation, etc.

The OP implied that there is no benefit to ever jailing a pirate.

So instead of inaccurate metaphors, do you think there is ever a case to be made for jailing a pirate?
I ask the same. It also has bugs where a zip/unzip roundtrip yields a different file. Not good.
To be dead, it would have needed to be alive.

Sure, on HN, you will find sometimes some people that reports using it on real life projects.

But in the last 10 years, I did missions for about a 50 or so companies, and none of their team members, NONE, used TDD.

Few even had tests at all.

I've seen companies tried many things: agile, remote work, one team by micro-services, etc.

I've seen many videos of people saying they applied on TDD in their companies. I've even seen a few IRL of them in conferences or meet up.

But I've never worked with people using TDD in real life.

Not saying it doesn't happen, or that TDD is bad, just saying that I don't think it ever became a popular approach. Like Haskell or Nix, it's famous only in our bubble.
The liquidity aspect is key. There is basically none with private investments. You can get in, but may not be able to get out for 5 or 10 years... or more likely, never. For this reason alone, the average person is better off with public markets.
Good. Kids who grow up in Portland now might have a chance to keep on living there, instead of getting thrown off at high speed because they were more suited to a career other than "programmer" like all my artist friends from San Francisco were.
That gets it wrong. Capital came far later as a goal over the literal strongmen involved with the monopoly of force. The reason they were treasured was because the capital specialists made more money by being taxed than flat out taking everything up front. Monopoly on force is brutally darwinian in that the emergent result of what it cares about it self-perpetuation. The real first layer is the enforcers to be kept loyal. In a more complex system there are specialties and layers of dependency like needing to appease the manufacturers and maintainers of weapons to keep the enforcers using tanks and planes instead of sharpened sticks.
One concrete example is Visual Studio App Center[1], which allows companies to distribute internal and beta apps to employees and invited testers. On Android, I can install the App Center app and then browse and install them exactly as I do with Google Play.

>Or maybe this is a defense mechanism borne from denial and the urge to put off the inevitable.

Sure, could be.

> You’re talking about outliving the stars themselves when we can barely get piles of rocks to survive a few millennia.

Maybe so. I won't pretend to understand what would go into such a thing. I don't personally believe our understanding of the universe is sufficient to rule it out.

> But it was already thousands of years ago that our interpretation of life and the value we derive from it reached the understanding that death was not to be feared in the first place.

I guess I missed that! I mostly see a lot of mental gymnastics or denial in the form of believe in an after-life.
The imposition of residential only zoning all over the world is, in retrospect, a huge mistake.

If it helps, it may not be k8s, but more EKS. We have had terrible luck at my company with EKS, being more painful than just an on-prem k8s cluster in my experience, getting the networking working, load balancers, etc.
I prefer the ones that have translations like: John. Ian, Ivan, Jan, Johan, Aidan, Juan, Joao, etc. Charles, Matthew, Katherine, Ann, and so on so you have an actual name with a standard accepted translation in many languages.

French seems like the language which has quite a bit of names either translated or transliterated into other languages -perhaps due to proximity as well as influence.
What do you think is a happy medium between the technical buyer and the financial buyer if not a demo?

My company is having trouble with this right now, in that we built a tool for the users with some higher level features managers would like, but it's still 3 ranks below the person purchasing the software. Even pitching it as a cost savings, they reply with "oh, my teams don't have trouble with that so we're not wasting money on it" then someone lower usually cuts in and says "well, we've been having trouble with it recently..."
I know such people too, but most of them said they've had to make major sacrifices in their family life to be successful.
The problem is: who cares about the Nobel price! A bunch of Swedes announced that they will be judging human achievements and give out a stupid prize, and everybody is now pending from their lips. The problem is not them, the fools who give them importance, and not the wack jobs that self-appointed themselves. Ignore them.
sometimes stating something as a hypothetical - in which to give the widest possible latitude to opposing viewpoint in order to still triumph over it - can attract the attention of indignant moralists who then hector that no possible latitude must ever be given in argument; for those who give latitude are wallowing in corruption.

I agree that it would be nice to have a letsencrypt for code. The biggest hurdle I see is getting the the root trusted by OS vendors. While not impossible (the browser vendors did it), trust on these platforms may be a bigger issue since the code runs natively.
And critical! Being able to snag a timespan of data, with point in time for records is the majority of what business users want.

How this works usually depends on your data's provenance. Databases get built with lots of different and variously compatible definitions of "correct", sometimes because RDBMS date and time types are inconsistent, but usually during development. Not all of those definitions have a clean path to UTC offset, for example, if you're comparing data from different time zones.

If someone said they'd made a one size fits all query engine that will talk to any arbitrary database from a range of RDBMS and handle date/time consistently and reliably, I'd be skeptical. Maybe if it's operated by someone who knows what they're doing, but that's not exactly the target audience for natural language SQL queries.
The article is wrong on it being a record. According to the Nobel Foundation's nomination database, Arnold Sommerfeld was indeed nominated 84 times and won 0: https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/archive/show_people.ph...
depends inside sales or outside sales? if someone is generating the lead and all you have to do is close it, might be easier. if you have to hit the pavement and cold call to generate leads, might be tough. you should read up on sales, as someone else mentioned, there's then the post sales which might be easier, where you're pretty much running demos and helping them setup things. lot's of listening and having strong empathy for the customer to know what problem they are having, being able to communicate clearly so they can immediately understand the values you are presenting, those I'll say are the core skills.

The Search for England’s Forgotten Footpaths (2019)
When you test private methods they essentially become part of your API because you cannot remove that method without changing the tests. You increase the API surface because any observable behavior becomes part of the API, no matter what the docs say.

A test against an interface would be more reusable (and more clearly defined) than tests against a concrete class's private implementation. If you do make a new implementation, you have to pick apart what can be used and what can't.

Maybe YANGI but the idea is that its a code smell that you can't easily test core functionality from the public API. Why is the API so subtle? Is this class doing too much, should you break it up? These are the questions I ask when a junior dev makes a method public just to test it.

But I don't know Rust so perhaps some of these concerns are not relevant to Rust.
That looks like iOS 14- I don't see that separation in 13.6
