I never understood why that rule doesn't include comments. Like if you posted a ton of helpful comments and zero posts, you wouldn't be allowed to post a link you made yourself.

I don't think there's anything wrong with promoting blog posts or apps you've made yourself unless it's really excessive. How are people supposed to get started otherwise? It's okay if you're a huge tech site, a big newspaper etc. because people will auto-post your new posts to try to earn some karma but who is going to do that when you've only got a handful of readers?

Yep, you really needed to know the intimate inner workings of the CPU and each digital chip from the keyboard input to the display output to produce code that would make a quality product.

It took years of experience that you could only gain through hands-on work, to know how to debug hardware that's why gray-beards are so valued in hardware vs in software where people talk of ageism.

When your hardware/low level software doesn't perform as expected you can't google/stack overflow yourself out of the problem, you need to grab the datasheets, the schematics, an oscilloscope, a soldering iron, hunch over patiently and devise a way to debug the issue out as no one else can help you.

Hardware engineering is now just as challenging as it was back then but due to the commodization of hardware along with the rise of China and the downfall of high-tech giants like IBM, Philips, Siemens, Motorola, Nokia, Blackberry, Nortel, Ericsson, etc most hardware jobs disappeared or moved overseas and pay went significantly downhill compared to software engineering(at least in Europe).
Just thinking the same thing. There's no rule the you must clamp down the the first instance of a violation.

Leave it be, and leave the rule in place. If there's an epidemic of monoliths being planted on federal land, then you uproot them all and say "this is why we can't have nice things."

Until or unless that happens, just leave it alone.
One, i for one would not welcome having an ethno-centric authoritarian state spying on me. I certainly wouldn't be happy if say the Nazis Germany or the stasi were spying in india. Your response is very similar to "I've got nothing to hide" argument for government spying.

Second, just because lalamove didn't do anything ontoward for you, doesn't mean that chinese companies don't spy on anyone. Maybe you should look at the rich history of china's industrial espionage, or how US and Soviet Russia spied on each other during the cold war.

Third, this is part of a economic and trade war against china. Maybe you should read about how an authoritarian state works, and how subjugated people get treated by oppressors. Go look at tibet, taiwan, Hong Kong, uyghur, ww2 poland etc etc.

I'll add a final point. I have found most such arguments made by people who hate the current indian government, which is indeed a bad one. But people are so hell bent on opposing the government that they even speak positives of entities that are against india, like china. Food for thought for you, what would your reaction be if it was the indian government doing similar things of industrial espionage, economic war, and spying. Would you say that modi was welcome to see that you ordered furniture from ikea?

Yep, people don't often comment on how similar ruby and ObjC are, in fundamentals.

I think it's because both of them were so influenced by smalltalk, more than ObjC influencing ruby necessarily. But not sure.

But I'm still very curious if AR's creators knew EOF, yeah. I haven't found DHH mentioning it; not sure if there might be forgotten other person/people central to original AR architecture.

WebObjects itself was nice in many many ways (I think it's encapsulation of form handling is far better than anything anyone's managed in Rails)... but made a fundamental mistake in trying to keep a fundamentally stateful architecture and apply it to the web by putting what was effectively an opaque state ID in every single URL. This was a basically bad design for the web (although also provided for forementioned good encapsulation of form handling. :) ).

But yeah, the sense I get in my career is that we spend a lot of time trying to reinvent something that already existed, and getting close to being as good as it... then collectively moving on to the next language/platform and doing it again. With not a lot of progress. Up to and through the 90s, it seemed like there was actual progress in software design and architecture at the high-level, the level of affordances for developers to efficiently create reliable maintainable software, but it seems to me have stalled -- perhaps in favor of huge advances in more low-level stuff, better/different languages/language paradigms, etc.
No, it's gullible because the CEO might not exist, and the boast might never been uttered to the OP...

...but the bribing and the situation described (including similar calculations) goes on every day, in every single country, since forever.

So to compare it to conspiracy theory takes a lot of gullibility on the good intentions, clean hands, and lawful operating of businesses, politicians, local officials, and/or the rich. Or maybe a better word would be "naivety".

This is not "Elvis is Alive", "The KKK killed Kennedy" or "PizzaGate".

This is all too common, everyday, corruption.

Current US tax rates increase taxes on the wealthy (in theory, anyway). A flat tax would burden the relatively poor with increased taxes. Since the wealthy don't greatly contribute to growth and the relatively poor do, I don't see how an increased tax on the growth producers actually helps to crete growth.
I will do contracting for companies that use MSFT as their platform, but will not join as an employee for them. I've found a Windows laptop is basically the leading indicator of a low-growth culture and a crappy job.

But the caps are setup to extract as much money as possible which isn’t fair. They’re scaring people who might not ever hit it into paying, as I have friends that do. If what they say is correct in only a small percent hit the cap then why even bother if it isn’t really about money?
Hey, thanks for the feedback.

> The claimed benefits of working for medium-sizes companies feels dubious and doesn't match real-world experience.

What benefits feel dubious? I'm curious about the real-world experience you're referring to. My real-world experience has been pretty positive, insofar as it has related to my personal goals.

> this piece is deliberately ignoring the fact that FAANG companies like Google have an overabundance of profits and engineers, leading to some of the most lax demands on individuals.

I do like the way you phrased this point a lot, but I did explicitly call this out. Perhaps it needs more emphasis, though? I said...:

> FAANGs pay absurdly well, and working at a large company is much, much slower paced than working at a startup, meaning you don’t need to work nearly as hard.

> if you at least gave a more honest take on the benefits of working for FAANG

What did I miss? I've never worked at a FAANG (have never wanted to for the reasons I outline in my article, primarily location independence).

I dont like Office 365, but its lightyears ahead of GSuites. Just look at GMail - it can't even handle threads and mail is commonly all messy and unreadable when multiple people start replying. Generally for anything slightly complex GSuites fails.

It's so bad, that I'm thinking my next company has to use Microsoft stuff again - sort of an interview criteria. I'm only semi joking because Outlook and Co seems like a low bar to beat.
Mining does not validate transactions. It settles them. Even in proof-of-work cryptocurrencies proving the validity of a transaction is a mere signature and unspent outputs check.

Or they can just wait for data usage to increase over time. Many AAA gaming titles can chew upwards of 250GB for install, and things like 4K streaming are becoming more common. They don't even need to adjust the cap down, just wait a few years to cash in as more and more people begin to hit the limit.
The problem with San Francisco’s “value capture” ideas as seen on 48hills.org is that they often want to capture the value of the choice that has positive externalities (e.g. riding a bus down highway 101, or building housing) while not capturing the value of the choice that has negative externaltities (e.g. driving a private vehicle, or underutilizing land during a housing shortage). This blind spot often undermines their self-proclaimed label of “Progressive”.

Ironically, the article also compares buses to a “$250,000 fee San Francisco charges taxi operators for a medallion”. That’s a payout to the previous owner with an initial 5% transfer tax, not a fee, and it was actually a big mistake for the city to have made it a payout rather than “value captured” rent to the city (which could be adjusted), since the city is being sued and is about to go to trial for it (https://webapps.sftc.org/ci/CaseInfo.dll?CaseNum=CGC18565325).
Probably everyone is a criminal, because no one knows what all of the laws are.
I couldn't say how similar a 2020 MacOS bootlog is at this point to anything that was in NeXT, and wouldn't assume that whatever you're seeing now that you find inelegant was there in NeXTStep 20 years ago or longer. I mean, maybe, but I wouldn't just assume it and judge NeXT for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In any event, the boot log is not something I had occasion to pay attention to in NeXTStep, I couldn't speak to it.
The feds say that it's illegal to install structures or art as in this case.
I once saw something similar where a co-worker on a newly formed team wanted to keep design documents in a git repo. Those types of documents can have dozens of small changes, or in this case commits, each day. It was also painful to read and edit. Luckily our manager stopped the practice early before it took root.

Another anecdote, I was once in a tech lead role and spent a lot of time pairing and guiding others on their development work. My commits were low but impact was high. Low commits counted against me during promotion review.
To break that down a little, adding unlimited data is $11/month if you use their current modem, which is $14/month to rent. Hence $25/month.

You can put their modem in bridge mode and use it with your own router. That’s probably what I would do if I needed unlimited.
One of my first experiences with Unix was getting an angry email from Steve Jobs.

He had a default message in the NeXT mail client back in the early '90's. I for some reason felt it was a good idea to send him an email and enable 'return receipt'. He replied, fuming at the violation of his privacy and never answered my question.

Edit: The internet never forgets, the default email in question - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCPlGgA6tE4

my guess is they're trying to say that the person was in the right, their managers in the wrong (and they are a manager themselves) and if they run into the situation again, they know what to look for. Also, in the event this person is beating themselves up over the situation (thinking this is the norm, thinking that maybe they made the wrong decision, etc.) it would appear it is intended to put them at ease that they did the smart thing and it isn't like this on every team.

I mean the size, weight, awkwardness and small trackpad all seem like compromises to me. I'd suspect the battery life too. And some of the screens aren't placed in the most practical of locations.

I'm switching to FreeBSD for my current project and most likely future ones. Been setting things up and migrating the last few days. In fact, I'll probably convert my Linux dev box to FreeBSD and run Linux in a VM.

Why the swtich? I'm really hoping that FreeBSD brings me some stability. I'm frustrated of learning how Ubuntu does things with every new named release. In a commercial environment, I'm aware and comfortable with the vast amount of infrastructure that's deployed to make our applications operable. One of my goals for FreeBSD is to come back to fundamentals and build my applications in an environment that I can understand and maintain without fully staffed teams.

Couple things I noticed. As a Linux user for many years, I am working my way through the FreeBSD Handbook docs. Most of the material I'm familiar with so it's a fast read but have on numerous occasions learned new information. Especially useful since I'm learning how FreeBSD does things. It's no diferent than learning a new programming language in a paradigm that one would considers themselves an expert in.

As a primarily app developer, rc(8) is just the right amount of abstraction and it makes sense. I get it intuitively. I really find it joyful when I encounter such designs.

I love how FreeBSD is organized. This must be attributed to it being designed by a cohesive team. Great job, I noticed and very quickly.

One downside so far, Google seems to answer _every_ linux / ubuntu question I throw at it or at least guides me close enough that I can sort my way through a problem. This hasn't been my experience with the FreeBSD system. Though I've tackled all my issues, it took more time. I should provide an update to this in the future since it could very well be because it's a new system.

I'll also miss cgroups. FreeBSD has rctl(8) and it looks like jails have resources parameters as well. cgroups are very well deigned for the problem that they're solving for me. It gives the right control over the right resources in a cohesive manner.

I'll end this with things that I'm excited for. I find learning new things does this to me so I'll share just for fun. I'm excited to learn jails and hope that I find it an improvement over Docker. I'm excited to deploy my erlang application and host my postgres database. I'm excited for root zfs. I'm excited to UPGRADE when the next version of FreeBSD comes out. This should work right? I _never_ upgrade my Ubuntu dev box. I'm excited that Wireguard is getting native kernel support in BSDs [https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=WireGuar...]

Show HN: Exchange and crypto exchange rates API for free
I generally fix performance problems nowadays by eliminating threads and queues, particularly "lock-free" queues, and splitting out work to whole separate single-thread processes that communicate only via ring buffers in mmapped hugepages.

The freedom to kill and restart the programs as needed makes a huge difference in ease of managing a system. I use kernel-bypass networking and "isolcpus" so the time-critical code never does any system calls. The programs do all their slow, mallocy OS-coupled work at startup, and then never again except to log errors or when shutting down. They mmap structs onto files under /dev/shm/ for status reporting, mostly just incrementing counters that another program, running every few seconds, formats into snapshot reports logged and displayed in grafana.

It is not the right architecture for everything, but it captures to disk all the activity of all the stock and options market exchanges in New York and Chicago using just a single 1U server attached to a 4U disk array.

"Lock-free" operations are not really lock-free at all; they involve atomic bus operations, which just do locking in hardware similarly to what you would otherwise have done. So, to get performance, you minimize interactions enough that the time wasted per interaction is negligible, and batch work so that the branch predictors and caches can get well primed and then used for a stretch. Atomic operations when you are the only writer, and so already own the cache lines, are cheap.

Regarding Postfix/systemd issues, you should take a look at ubi-init image. It has a minimal systemd in it to address problems like that[1][2].

Regarding crun, have you looked at the "Why another implementation" in the crun README.md by chance?[3] Or have you read the blog post about it that goes into a lot more detail?[4]

I totally agree with the dislike toward fragmentation. I myself have been very critical of NIH and fragmentation when it happens. I do think there's an interesting case to be made for crun though.

...the manner in which data have been handled by those who harvest it doesn't resonate with the history of the oil industry? If anything, the analogy is even more apt as the powers behind it are just as corrupt.
I think it should be considered that these positions aren't just against vaccines and can be a phenomenon of general uncooperative behavior sourced in lack of trust and spitefulness. Depending on the answer to this question a call to action can be constructive or not. Imagine the topic becoming a partisan issue...

Especially if the latter is the more likely scenario and the pandemic is used to introduce politically opportunistic measures the resistance would increase noticeably.

I think the the reason is that scientific explanations don't seem to work is that the topic isn't the viability of vaccination.

The article suggest that people should be converted by a targeted information campaign, or manipulation how detractors will call it. I believe that would fail and not improve the situation.

If you demand trust for something, you need to be ready to give some as well.

Some smart politicians were better at this. They plainly made sure people had a choice by excluding mandatory vaccination. And with a choice quotas above 95% were already reached and even very common.

I agree that plain scientific info isn't enough, but I don't think the strategy will work.

I'm the sole active moderator of r/electricvehicles, and you wouldn't believe the amount of self-promotion spam that I have to deal with on that sub. It's gotten to the point that I've written a custom Python app to use the Reddit API to pull all of the analytics on any new post and present it to me in a digested form: How old is the account? How much organic-looking activity has the user done across other subreddits? What is the actual content? Has the user posted the same URL to multiple subreddits? Has the user's activity received user reports? Fortunately I have some faithfully diligent reporters on my sub who will flag newly posted suspected spam in a matter of minutes.

If the post doesn't pass my sniff test, my script will remove the post, mute the user, and permanently ban the user with a single keystroke -- do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

I can't just rely on user reports alone because a few of the members of the community are overzealous about what they'll report. I need a variety of metrics to make the call, and it's much easier to use the Reddit API to collect, process, and report those metrics than to try to click around in Reddit's horrible moderation UI to get the information I need to make a reasonable decision.

Confession time: I started writing the script about 5 days ago, and since I'm waiting to start a new job, I've actually made this script into a bit of a hobby to kill the time. By now it's morphed into a multi-threaded Mutt-like Reddit moderation tool, where it displays all mod queue content via a curses interface that I navigate with VIM key bindings, and keystrokes issue commands onto an asynchronous queue that another thread consumes and acts upon via the PRAW package. For example, the keystroke to approve a submission will immediately delete the post from the curses view because I love wicked-fast and responsive UIs, but the deletion on the backend could take another couple of seconds, especially if I'm rapid-firing 5 or 6 approvals in a row, and I just let that happen on the queue. Maybe if I refactor so that Python experts' eyeballs won't bleed when they see my code (e.g., I'm manually grabbing and releasing locks on stuff that's shared between the curses interface code and the async queue code rather than using more elegant synchronization capabilities in Python) I might consider releasing some source.
