It remains to be seen whether they will find this economical when they are not making any direct revenue on the product.

I understand that VSCode is part of a grand strategic plan that goes beyond revenue, but I seriously doubt that they'd be willing to internally maintain the absolute truckload of code that would ensue from getting to feature parity with Jetbrains on languages like Java or Python. I'd wager at some point the quality would derail, or someone would pull the plug altogether on such a cost sink.

And that's one of the things I love about Jetbrains products. I'm actually delighted to pay for a product that I use every day for ~8 hours and which I think is extremely well-designed, knowing that the money is going to a company of craftsmen who do that, and only that.
That’s more than I ever got. One day I was waiting outside my supervisors office to ask a question and he had left the country for a month or so. I didn’t even know.

There needs to be a term like "manufacturing consent" for the false beliefs that come from trend pieces.
People who get offended at the sight of chop sticks and fur coats are likely closeted racists themselves, in the same way many homophobic, vehemently anti-gay evangelicals are actually deeply closeted.

Which is neither here, nor there. We're talking about things hated by the same generation here.
It's very convenient that that's the only fix that involves you changing nothing at all.
Yes, absolutely, message queuing is an important part of back end architecture. If you happen to use python, "Celery" is an easy way to start using "RabbitMQ".

Secureboot alone can't do it, you'll need a TPM so the disk stays encrypted (and therefore protected from unwanted modifications) and to ensure the keys only get released if the bootloader is verified (to prevent the bootloader/kernel, which must remain unencrypted from being modified).
I found IntelliJ IDEA about 7 years ago. Before that, I had used a number of different editors/IDE's for polyglot development.

I honestly really started to enjoy developing again. Intellij let's me focus on the problems I'm trying to solve. It does a ton to help remove the boilerplate of programming. The things that I really use it most for:

- 1. quick fixes. Automatically adds imports and cleans up code with a key command
- 2. reformatting. I just reflexively reformat everything as I go
- 3. show parameters. Cmd P shows me what I need to call functions
- 4. find usages. Jumping through code is so fast and easy
- 5. syntax highlighting. So many options. But the ones I use most are showing issues as I type, and clicking on a variable and it highlights its usages

There are probably more that I'm forgetting I use.

But I also bought the pro license for myself and happily renew every year. A lot of the features and upgrades I don't even use - they are for languages that other people use. But I am happy to support the product and get features that I do use.
This reminds of a famous quote: “I believe that children are our future. Unless we stop them now.”
How about just using January, February ... etc instead of making up new words like sprint.
Thanks for your suggestion. I am comfortable with nodejs so I guess I will find a good package for RabbitMQ
Checking out Hoffman now, fantastic little episode on the history of espresso!
It's even worse with Apple TV, where you have to swipe between characters on a single row. They completely butchered UX on that one, it's infuriating.
This is an example of why one should not post claims about a country after merely "touring" it, because tourists visiting any country typically get only a vague and often mistaken sense of the local culture and history. First of all, Romanians are not “very proud of their active Gypsy culture”: the Roma minority are largely despised by the rest of Romania’s population. Secondly, Romanian pride in their Roman heritage is largely a consequence of 19th-century trends upon the rediscovery of the roots of the Romanian language, and the dacomania and francophilia that bloomed then; that pride is not something that was actually preserved down the last two millennia.

And when it comes to traditional architecture in Romania, it should be noted that the homes that are among the most celebrated today for their traditional craftsmanship are those built by the Transylvanian Saxons, i.e. neither Romanians nor Roma. I only mention this because I have seen tourists visit places in Romania and talk about Romanian this and Romanian that, when Romania is a multiethnic country and what they saw many have actually been by one of the other ethnicities.
Honestly I've been seeing that ROI from HN for quite a while. Sometimes a wife per day! I would say to spend more time on the wife threads.
Right but op mentioned using a password manager, so that doesn't really apply.
>Apple hasn’t made an official announcement the iMac Pro’s future, but the Mac’s product page speaks volumes. As first reported by MacRumors, the configurable models of the iMac Pro are no longer available for purchase. The only remaining iMac Pro on Apple’s online store is the $4,999 base configuration, which Apple notes prominently at the top of the page will only remain available ‘While supplies last.’

What a crappy article. Of course it has stopped with new Intel iMac Pros.

Any new iMac Pro will have to wait for the ARM version.

That doesn't mean it has pulled any plug...
An example. I just read this and enjoyed it very much.

On HN, I find interesting articles with the added benefit of thoughtful conversation about said article.

Man, neglect is far too common. In one company, I only got promotion after I told I was resigning. My manager didn’t care about professional development, he even made false promises multiple times.

As a Romanian, I regret to inform you that a lot of Romanians really don't like gipsies. This has always been the case, unfortunately.
Dealer: "I want to buy my 14th $120k car even though I dont have a job or legal business that generates the money to do so. The IRS is going to catch on that I'm buying these things through nefarious means."

Buyer: "I want 120k bucks worth of cocaine. How should I send you the money?"

Dealer: "I'm going to duct tape a banana to a wall and call it art. You buy the art. I drop off the coke."

Buyer: "Who the fuck would buy something like that?"

Dealer: "You, because you're actually buying the coke, not the banana or duct tape. But to the government, you look like a fucking idiot and I'm just a capitalist opportunist. They then dont question my questionable purchasing decisions because I'm an arteest."

I left out some details, but that's the broad brush strokes.

Edit: just thought about it. This is also a nice extra layer of plausible deniability for the buyer.

Nice article. I had never thought about this matter this way and it makes total sense.

When I was a teenager McFly was a very popular band among teenagers, specially teen girls. I, a teen boy, also liked McFly. I remember that I used to tell people "hey, McFly is actually good, the problem is their fanbase". Only now I realise what I meant by that: "McFly is a good band. But I value it less because it's liked mainly by girls". Even if I didn't express this about the other "girly" things, I feel that I internalized that those things are worth less, even though I liked those things, things such as High School Musical, Hillary Duff movies, Lindsay Lohan movies, Totally Spies, Kim Possible, the list goes on.
IME a lot of people on the tenure track are abused and overloaded. There is a lot of politics and backstabbing as well. This passes down to students.

When I was in grad school, I had more than one tenured professor tell me they would have never been able to survive if they had to do what we had to do to get a tenure track job. One of the tenured professors was a terrible human being and actively mocked the conditions her students were in and how nice she had it when they were a student and on the tenure track.

I left academia and have no regrets. I was on an H1-B and was trapped in that situation for a while, but even then I was getting paid decently and not the other way around, where I got $1100/month to do the work a tenured professor wouldn't do even though they were paid a lot more.
"I imagine that most users dramatically prefer the sharing, backup, and organization capabilities of proprietary cloud apps to local files."

My mother has burned family photos to optical disk 20 years ago, we have physical photos that lasted generations. Tell me which app or cloud product I can trust with data for my grandchildren?

Which app will not dissapear, be discontinued, ban you or delete my data if I stop paying?

> "We've seen more than our fair share of bad action movies, bad movies geared toward men or 13-year-old boys. And you know, the reviews are like ‘OK that was crappy, but a fun ride.' But no one says ‘Oh my god. If you go to see this movie you're a complete xxxxing idiot.' And that's the tone. That is the tone with which people attack 'Twilight'."

People say this about boyish movies all the time. I never read the twilight books, but I did see, what I think was the last movie. I recall two things about it. One was a hilariously PG sex scene with visual sparkles to imply an orgasm. The other was a long, hilariously cheap fight scene where every other character got rapidly decapitated.
The sample for this question is clearly skewed toward the upper end of the spectrum here on HN.

If you’re going into industry from academia, I’d suggest doing some deep homework on how to work with different corporate cultures. Be aware of the toxic behaviors people display and have documented. Learn email etiquette. Be prepared to make every conversation an email either to just yourself or (for it to really stick) to everyone in the conversation.
Around x64 cpus you have plenty of peripherals that are subtly different too. Arguably the situation is "worse" for ARM, but it is getting worse every year on the x64 front too, esp since MS decided to release extremely short lived OSes quite fast, without really any fixed HW support policies. In the end I've recently had built-in ethernet on a recent Intel not recognized by a few years old Linux distro, so at the end of the day it does not matter much if you can't use a computer because of an essential "peripheral" or because of an interrupt controller; and if you have recent enough software it will be supported in both cases.

It seems like the mirror image of teenage boys who start raging when they do badly in a game. Lord knows I was one of those teenage boys, and that level of emotional investment really is tied in with community-building, but my friends and family would have been doing me a disservice if they told me it was healthy to get so worked up.
I wonder if it could be related to the traditional roles where "the woman" is a guardian of her sexuality, which "the man" covets. He has to act, and shape himself into something She likes, or She will pick someone else. Could this lead to old-school society attaching more importance to what young women desire?

If some imbalance like that did exist, it would go something like this:
In such a world, if half of young men were suddenly really into dungeons and dragons, the young women would simply dismiss them and turn to the other young men, who picked the "correct" interests (american football, being a musician, etc). Young women would not overwhelmingly start dressing like elves and wearing bows. Society, not seeing any side-effects, would then be happy to silently look down on those young men's interests.

On the other hand, if in that imaginary world, half of young women were suddenly really into baby seal hunting, young men would start clubbing baby seals like there's no tomorrow - to be able to compete for their attention. In that case, society seeing a shortage of baby seals would have to do something about it. As a result, society, to maintain control, would try to guard young women's interests jealously - for example by loudly deriding / shaming those who's interests stray from the acceptable.

Or the article could be off the mark, for example what if we different gender groups simply have different communication styles, and media adapts to it?

I guess the question raised here is:
Do women's desires affect men's actions more than the reverse?
It occurred to me while reading Scott's blog article that a very interesting idea for a SciFi novel would be to explore a future society where are current religions are replaced with these QM religions.
We have different goals from Lumen. Lumen is bringing BEAM languages to WebAssembly by running the whole Erlang runtime inside a WebAssembly instance. Lunatic is bringing the concepts of Erlang (fault tolerance & concurrency) to other languages. We are using WebAssembly instances as a replacement for Erlang’s processes. This gives us even stronger per process isolation.
the tech universe is too vast, HN provides a perspective in a world where you can aim and shoot for 10,000 years.
Got a new career from one of the "who is hiring" posts.
I too am a layman in this area, but from what I've gathered is that the designers of Bauhaus and similar European design movements of the 1900s is they took design and all of its elements very seriously. "Good design" was an expression of a well thought out approach to the message at hand and was a reflection of a society that ought to be well-groomed themselves (i.e. intellectually, morally, all those sort of qualities).

Intense stuff, mate.
Ever played a video game online? The death threats I've received from that alone probably number in the dozens by now, for the crime of not playing perfectly in a match.

I've also been told several times that I should be killed or to kill myself because someone didn't enjoy a video game I made and put out into the world (for free).

While I'd agree with your premise overall, online anonymity allows for many a death threat to be thrown out there often and casually by jackasses and kids who don't care how they hurt others.
> They have no interest in observing your emotions, because they have a millions other things to take care of.

This is probably the only falsifiable part I could find from your comment as the rest seems to pertain to unfalsifiable speculation about "kids these days" -- so with that said, I'll say that academic supervisors and especially business managers /do/ have a very specific interest in observing your emotions if they're remotely competent.

Human personnel burnout and underperformance risk is extraordinarily expensive. One approach to risk management is to simply delegate it to the subordinate, and if anything goes wrong, fire that subordinate. Unfortunately, this approach doesn't work very well in practice. For one, the agency to actually address the root culprit of burnout and/or underperformance usually lies disproportionately with leadership. It has to, otherwise, hierarchical human organizations could never logistically scale.

But what that means is that you're flat out wrong. Not only do business managers have a vested interest in managing the emotions of their subordinates, but it's ostensibly one of their strongest interests because it's one of their most dangerous risks. You realize this when you begin to accrue experience either being bitten by this first hand, or watching your peers become bitten by this. And you know the old saying. Once bitten, twice shy.
Don't know about datagrip, I was speaking for Idea and webstorm anyway they are mostly the same codebase.

You can increase the available ram to intellij in the settings (under the help section if I remember correctly)
My old thinkpad was really slow with Idea because my RAM would easily overflow and therefore spam swap usage.
The secret sauce is to go for 16GB of ram, any developer deserve it.

Also if you feel adventurous, by going to the EAP release channel you will get optimization earlier (at the cost of some rare additional bugs)
Also always be up to date by using the jetbrains Toolbox and checking download update automatically.

If you turn mitigation=off on your Linux you will get better perf in general at the price of enabling an extremely hard and slow security threat.
I totally agree, recognition is a big deal, but also very ephemeral and kind of an empty gesture. My mentors always credit me in talks they give (they are excellent and I am happy with them), but I have spent months of my life creating data and figures for grant applications that were won or not, and I practically get 0 credit or recognition for that work. My name is not on the grant, despite me doing ALL of the work for it because I am phd candidate and cannot actually get the funding from an NIH R01.

The vast majority of my work will go completely uncredited (both inside and outside of academia) unless someone inside academia that I might want to work with happened to see my mentors talk. If I leave academia, I have no 'proof of work' for anything outside my paper and thesis (no one will read it). I can't claim authorship on very important 500K+ grants that I practically wrote and won myself, but others take credit for it. Those don't go on my CV/resume, and if they did then people looking could look up the grant and see I am not in fact listed as an author or contact. I've come to realize that this is a huge problem.

The language against things like video games, skateboarding, or metal was far more charged than it ever was towards things like twilight or one direction.

It seems like girls are just more sensitive to the mockery. Maybe we should keep that in mind and let them have their fun. But it's hard to see how they subject to more criticism than teenage boys are.

I agree. Intellij ultimate is the best polyglot work environment I've ever used. The primary project I work on has Java, kotlin, groovy, python, typescript, js, shell scripts, dockerfiles, various configuration files, etc. Intellij Ultimate handles them all equally well as the more specific language flavors in my experience.
This is a pretty good use case for BigQuery. It's pretty easy to make fairly sophisticated queries across enormous datasets. It fits BigQuery's model of write-once, time-indexed information.
Thank you. The contents are far out of my depth but there is a general optimism that comes through while reading on your site and thinking of what your are bringing to the world. I hope that this trend of microcosms to find likewise intellectually interested individuals continues!

Recently I spoke to an about 80 year old scholar of Hegel and he still hosts book clubs for former students to his (and I presume his students ;) delight. Suppose that would be the way of the future. A club for any of your delights.

I wouldn’t normally respond to such a snarky comment, but does it seem to you like those who write these kind of articles are willing to change something about themselves? Or put some effort into educating their children? No, it’s always someone else who’s at fault.
Used to use http://www.nullpass.org which is the same thing but open source. Ran in to issues with websites having varying password requirements that sometimes the generated one did or did not meet, and then I wouldn't remember which alterations were needed for it the next time I needed the passwords for the sites.

"Komarov was selected to command the Soyuz 1, in 1967, with Yuri Gagarin as his backup cosmonaut. Both knew the space capsule was not safe to fly, but everyone in space program was terrified of Brezhnev’s reaction to the mission being delayed or scrubbed. Komarov told friends he knew he would probably die.

But he wouldn’t back out because he didn’t want Gagarin to die. Vladimir Komarov was among Gagarin’s best friends. Their families often got together, and on rare times when both men were free, they would go hunting together.

They were best friends who were also part of a very small fraternity of men who had stared down death itself in order to travel to space."

Ask HN: How to Document Everything?
I work in a small team of data scientists and next quarter I will need to document every minimal aspect of the work we do. I'm talking about processes, databases, scripts, functions and API endpoints. This documentation will be consumed both by those involved in development and by other stakeholders who are not tech-savvy.

What would HN use in this case?

As another commenter mentioned, there are a lot of options out there-probably too many to list off. Postgres can totally work but the option of using a separate database is a good one. We actually got a few questions on the original post about auditing changes, so while not directly "logs" it falls are least partially in that category. A colleague wrote a follow-on post on how you can use Debezium with Postgres for change data capture to send all your changes to Kafka and then to some other down stream system.
