I've worked with the kind of developers who try to gatekeep their knowledge and the systems they work with. I find that a few of the following conditions tend to hold:

* They're not very good developers and not very smart and probably somewhat cognizant of that.

* They're afraid of interviewing.

* They're working in smaller markets (e.g. a town which has maybe just one or two companies that hire developers).

* They're spending right up against their income or beyond it and are afraid of losing their job.

If they hit all of these checkboxes then I reckon this behavior is almost guaranteed and getting potentially "redundancy inducing information" out of them will be like pulling teeth. They'll be busy a lot. Far too busy to talk to you. Their docs likely won't be nonexistent (too obvious), but they will probably be deliberately obtuse.

They're primarily concerned not with learning but with not losing their primary source of income and their time horizon shortens, much like it does for those stuck in a behavioral poverty trap https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03043...

Yes, this sort of behavior locks you further and further into the role you are in and is possibly self defeating, but it's entirely natural and fairly common.
How could they not have thought about what to do once they passed the “legal limit”?
I could use some help with this!

Currently, my IPFS daemon is taking literally 60% of my CPU because people are browsing it. So, please pin some (or all) of these hashes!

I am fetching from various gateways in order to get their caches to take the load, but some gateways don't cache.

The list itself is mirrored on IPFS:

The integration work is what's hard. Just like it's easier to cut new code and harder to resolve conflicting needs in two existing systems. Cleaning up the mess of how two things have moved forward under different incentive systems and for different purposes, that's the nasty stuff and the hard work. The accumulated disynchrony is what makes documentation suck and reduces the value of referencing it which can be a death spiral when it thereby reduces the value of producing it.

This article reminds me of the challenges of an object-oriented decomposition of a system. The solution being something like adding aspects (see AOP), relationship links with metadata, and, sure, adding a graph structure.

However, I would suggest that reducing the space between a documentation system and the code base it is documenting is one of the deeply important missing pieces. What belongs on a distilled documentation page versus in the code is the spectrum. We have data formats listed in our documentation but those should be links to the schemas (and maybe examples) in our code base.
Anecdata but our design agency decided to branch out beyond fully local Wordpress sites to something more cutting edge using Prisma + React.

It had a great developer experience but was slow and had poor pagespeed and usability scores compared to the standard Wordpress sites they were providing clients. Their next site was a bog standard all local Wordpress job although they've since moved onto React/Gatsby.
Some people have cited the Suzuki method, which became widespread after my time as a student. Naturally the people who mentioned that to me are teachers.
Hey it is great that engineering analytics is getting some love. I have something similar and I've found that you can generate some interesting insights from commit history if you look at how things are changing from a historical point of view.

I'm not sure if my public server can withstand it, but you can play with the public version at https://public-001.gitsense.com

If that doesn't survive, you can install GitSense (my product) with a single docker command, which you can find at https://gitsense.com
But then you just ignored the whole micro-ISV market which is cranking out tons of software solving interesting problems.
And investment money has its own issues. VCs view their companies as a portfolio, they are only interested in ideas that have the potential to be huge. There are plenty of software products that should exist but are not interesting to investors because they are not potential unicorns, but interesting to smaller software shops since that revenue will provide a nice living for them.
Wouldn't you be able to get the same effect by applying some digital filter to the music? Same goes for warmer sound some people claim for analog amplifiers. I would think you should be able to tune your digital devices to produce the same sound.
After I learned of this issue a while back, I activated always on scrollbars on my Mac. It's amazing how many websites are clearly designed only by people on Macs, who don't realize all the extra scrollbars they have.
GameStop is not just competing with digital content and delivery, they are also competing against established all-in-one stores like Carrefour and Fnac, that typically carries everything GameStop (currently) carries plus more.

If they can make themselves different enough to give people a reason to buy their PS5 at GameStop instead of at Carrefour, remains to be seen.
"I had an idyllic view of this purely meritocratic system where people were paid to explore."

I feel like our society and schooling really pushes the idyllic visions of things as well as the idea of strict meritocracy. I feel like this has left many of us jaded when we realize much of what we were told as we grew up were only half-truths concealing a bleak reality from us, and in some cases dooming us to self-inflicted issues like the one's described in the article.
You seem to be in agreement with the article and my top-level comment, since you aren't using the Object/Relational Mapping part of your favorite ORM. It is not surprising that the ORM/SQL dichotomy is exaggerated if you ignore the ORM.
+1 for this. One of the most frustrating parts of MacOS is how miserable it is to use it with a mouse. Turning off mouse acceleration needs to get a settings menu entry, stat.
Cards expire. I don't have data on which is the most common, but based on my personal experience, the majority of my replacement cards are from expiration, not from being lost or stolen.

When my cards are lost/stolen, they provide a whole new card number. To my knowledge, they are not eligible for these auto-update programs.

Even with scroll bars always visible, as they are on my system (Firefox on macOS 10.15), I can't see that there's a horizontal scrollbar until I go down several pages.

If I change from "Always" to "When scrolling", the only way I can make the horizontal scrollbar appear is to start scrolling by pressing my mouse wheel to the side. It's otherwise utterly invisible, even when I hover over that region. Edit: the table doesn't initially have focus, but if I click it, I can also use the arrow keys.

When I wrote a page to display a very information-dense table, I tried very hard to avoid horizontal scrolling. I abbreviated, used icons and colors, and allowed wrapping. You're implementing a general purpose utility that can have arbitrarily many columns, so you can't really control that.

I'm not much of a web dev, so I may be off base, but I think part of the problem is that you're mixing a page-wide vertical scrollbar with a div- or table-specific horizontal scrollbar.
I enable persistent scrollbars on any machine where I'm doing front-end web dev, so that I can better see what (some of) my users will see (not doing this has bitten me when it affected layout). But on my personal laptop I leave the scrollbars off. I virtually never drag them with the mouse these days and they just clutter my visual landscape; I'm glad the option is there to hide them (and dear god would they get in the way on the already-limited real estate of a phone screen).
Doesn't help. Even huge Windows 95 scrollbars will reside in the users' peripheral field of vision, so they won't notice it and won't look at it.
The alternative is HTML, which is accessible to most.
It's interesting that you bring up an ultra. I'm training for one in five months and while I'm unlikely to run the event itself (covid), I'm still training. Listening to elites talk about how they prepare has taught me a lot while reminding me that I'm still firmly in the camp of hobbyist. :)
Does the borrow checker interfere with memory and object pools implementation?

Because if you require heap allocation for many short-lived objects, I expect this would be one of Java strengths unless you use an object pool.
Whenever I hear people talk about the superior sound quality of vinyl my response is "Yeah, there's nothing quite like the sound of a rock being dragged over bumpy plastic!"
> With mobile UI, that's kinda necessary. You don't have a whole lot of space to work with there. It's either really tightly packed touchscreen interfaces, or its horribly overloaded buttons ("when you're in the email app, press the Hang Up button to delete a message").

Or using a PDA-like UI with miniaturized desktop UI elements, but that style requires a stylus to use which is why the simpler, chunkier smartphone touch UIs became popular in the first place.
Man, this is why self-driving cars can’t come soon enough. Everyone else’s replies to this already sort of answer your question, but for me this hints at the bigger issue: people don’t take driving seriously. My counter is: why do you need to be looking at your phone in a car? What text is so important that you can’t pull over and read it? Why give up the situational awareness that is absolutely required to safely operate a machine that can kill people?

Life is about trade offs and constant cost/benefit analysis. How is reading/responding to a text message slightly sooner worth the decrease in situational awareness and possible accident involving a 2 ton vehicle?

I think we have normalized the dangers of driving a vehicle to the point where we sort of just shrug at the monumental number of vehicular deaths. I’m confident that when my kid is an adult, he’ll look at us with astonishment when we say we used to drive vehicles around, poorly trained, staring at phones, half-drunk, kind of paying attention sometimes, a bit sleepy and it was not only legal but _normal_. It’ll be like us hearing about how our great-grandparents had a 2 year old work dangerous farm equipment alone. You think “How the hell did anyone survive?”
The Associated Press "fact check" explains that the claim that Biden is putting "kids in cages" is "missing context." https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-afs:Content:9970724...

Funny I don't remember them being so careful to provide all that "context" for what Trump said or did.
Indeed. It costs about a car to engage in the action, and potentially a house if you lose.
See also JVC's "VHS" vs Sony's "BetaMax". It is the way of standards warfare.

It definitely annoyed me that media cabinets that held an even number of cassette tape drawers "across" would not fit an integral number of CD drawers.
If somebody has an informative link, I'm curious why this is still an issue.

My understanding is that guides are using children as accessories/human shields, so the US govt. is unsure of who the parents are or where they're from, so they're detained?

Prior to 2020, I considered this one of the country's greatest shames, but maybe there's some plausible operational excuse for it. I sure hope so.
Interesting!

This goes against the rule of thumb where if 5% of attendees are vegetarian you serve vegetarian and omnivores will adjust to it, while if you served the omnivore option the vegetarians would likely go hungry (more likely go find something else nearby if possible).
Agreed, and I would add pre-web
well authored Microsoft help files/ hypertext were often really valuable and could be very well done. Also you could build them after the software was done, or before, as the spec in progress. Think msft help was one of the unsung heroes of their success. But if you have changing software Google/SO is much faster.
(Disclaimer, used to work on 'performance support' systems late 90s, one of the points of focus was how do you help users keep improving their combined tool use, team performance and business understanding)

Maybe rather than seeing GME as a crazy event that even made your "reasonable" friends non-reasonable, could it be that you thought they were more reasonable than they actually were?
my big issue with invisible scrollbars are particularly when they dont appear in small boxes and I dont realize I am passing a scrollable area
Someone forgot the 3-2-1 rule for backups.

I don‘t get why people don‘t do offsite backup today as it‘s basically for free. AWS Glacier basically costs nothing at all.
Not necessarily cheaper but much easier. Plus, it was convenient as new appliances were quite a lot more expensive (and may I add much more durable).

Nowadays trying to repair an appliance you run into all sorts of issues like missing schematics (and it's much harder to make out what does what on a logic board of a washing machine for example), low parts availability + serialized parts + firmware locks (this is mostly Apple though).

My issue is that new stuff doesn't really seem to be made to last. My last washing machine lasted exactly warranty + 7 days. Meanwhile, mum still has a washing machine close to 30 years old which still works great (with some repairs every few years with super cheap parts). And nowadays it's mostly plastic with a dash of metal instead of the other way around (unless you like moving the washing machine every week the "but it's lighter" argument is moot)
reserved a1.large instances are about half the price of OVH's b2-7 instance. a1.xlarge are still cheaper (and larger). So you get more raw compute per dollar on AWS.

What?
Sure you do. Nike could go out of business and their records lost forever. Nike could suffer a hack. Nike could have a rogue employee manipulate the database values. Nike could be thrown off the internet by AWS. A public blockchain like Ethereum is plausibly neutral, decentralized into tens of thousands of nodes worldwide who carry copies of the ledger, and there is a strong economic incentive baked into the blockchain to keep blocks consistent and persistent.

And if you want to trade your Nike NFT with someone's Reebok NFT, it would help to use an open standard with an economic mechanism for trade between counterparties built-in.
I'm not defining cancel culture (a phrase I avoid; it's the opposite of culture), but people who use it have a working definition and it's not just "liberal complaints". Anyway, Liberalism is dead, Patrick Deneen wrote an (overlong) obit.

This just flew by on Apple News: "Cancel culture strikes again: Mumford & Son banjoist steps away from band after praising anti-Antifa book". Whatever you call it, this is not classical liberalism. Something new has emerged with social media combined with Critical Theory, etc. It's worth studying, not dismissing as little different from past boycotts or campaigns.
Show HN: The Content Brick Method: A quicker way of creating a website structure
This seems easy to solve; at least on MacOS: "System Preferences" -> "Show scroll bars" -> "Always".

Update: Ah, I now realise that the goal is to make sure that an app always displays scroll bars. I hope that's impossible; personally I don't mind either scrollbar setting but I do want consistency and I do want apps that respect my OS settings.
What about the athletes who have been training for the event?

Some of them won’t get a chance to participate in 4 years time.
I haven't thought about scroll bars in years! I just use the two finger gesture on my trackpad to scroll. In System Preferences/General you can select Always for 'Show scroll bars' if you so desire. At least Mojave provides that option.
Sorry but horizontal scrolling is just abhorrent UX for everything but maps

Sounds like you've never had to build anything where people want to compare a set of three or more choices.
This article made me subscribe to the magazine hoping to find more amazing articles, but I don’t think there was ever an article that had this kind of emotional impact as this one in nautilus.

Still this single article was worth the subscription.
Why semi-trucks, and not boats? A single, large boat pollutes way more than hundreds of trucks.
> Some people are crazy enough to get a loan against their Bitcoin

It's not that people are crazy (maybe in the US, but thinking of some countries in the EU now), but that the tax advantage of taking out a loan on your Bitcoin leads to you having to pay less taxes than if you just straight out sold them. Hence people walk that route sometimes.
A company which had existed in the digital music realm and realised it was late to the streaming party. The company was about 15 in size with zero tech people. I understand capital was raised exclusively for the MVP.

The MVP being built was the foundation for a totally new direction the company was heading. The team I joined was the beginning of transition from agency to in-house, and we had to convert this scrappy MVP into production ready to handle 1000s of customers.

The agency built a wooden bicycle which we had to convert into metal...while still riding it :-)
"Still my favorite essay I've ever read on the experience of grad school, five years after publication."

Not all grad school is like this. It varies greatly by subjects and also by degree level. For example, a Master's degree can be easily attainable through night school while working. Education PhDs have their own challenges, but it usually doesn't resemble the types of questions and struggles the author describes about physics.
I like a UI that lets you scroll in every direction by clicking and holding the middle mouse wheel/button down. This is a more precise gesture than any trackpad can offer. Plus, with a vertical mouse you won't be killing your rotator cuff.

In web browsers this is referred to as "auto scrolling" and it works automatically on Windows but on Linux I have to install a chrome extension to get that feature in Chrome at least. It works in Firefox.

Not sure if it works on my Mac because I gave up trying to use third-party peripherals on Macs since they never work well.
But if you can do it yourself, the economics change dramatically.

I'm not sure what the proposed law changes in this respect. I've fixed boilers, phones, computers, TVs, dishwashers and washing machines to varying degrees without call-out costs. Part availability has never really been an issue.
> Right now, it seems the only immediate way people can resist is to acknowledge the importance of connection "off screens" and do their best to keep those other associations - family, friendships, local groups, etc. - active and engaged.

I agree somewhat, but the connection doesn't have to literally be "off screen", only "off of major, centrally controlled social platforms". Smaller sites are generally managed on a voluntary base and thus less scalable than a centralized network would be, but they do allow for meaningful connections that are not constrained by the need for physical proximity.
> > delegates all responsibility to manage oneself to outside forces

> Good. That's exactly what psychologists have been telling people for decades

No, neither phrase says "I am bad because I'm depressed". But one pushes the person out of the locus of control.

> > nobody takes responsibility for their actions or emotions anymore

> Compared to when?

Compared to when they couldn't broadcast it. Why perform helplessness if nobody is there to see? Ditto rage, etc.
I feel like designers at Apple at large with others following in tow to emulate them have been waging a silent war against the scroll bar for a while now.

Making it less and less visible until it ultimately disappears sounds reasonable when infinite scrolling (and heavens forbid, scroll hijacking) has rendered it far less useful.
the important part is that either makes you an expert on ML :)
> His factual correctness and his sincerity

I notice you're not making this argument about MM.

> Is there a time-limit, where you're only allowed to criticize someone for 5y, and so when it hit 6 his opinion was officially stale?

I was referring to events over the past few days. I don't really want to relitigate this here with a green account, only to observe that you too have come in to play outrage and culture war.
In case you were hoping for facts from the MSM, that hasn't existed for a few years now. I mostly watch NTD Media now.

Back in the 80s/90s, although it had inaccuracies, the US media wasn't part of the Red Terror.

Glenn Greenwald, who's based in Brazil now, has explained that his US journalist friends must toe the cultural Marxist line or they're cancelled (fired and disowned by all journo friends.)
Yeah! You can join from multiple browsers/tabs or from different computers/devices.
"I retired early from software development last year to spend more time ..." [insert anything you enjoy].

This is the dream.
> I have a really hard time believing anyone would chose this

Speak for yourself. I love it. And it works like a charm with magic-y input devices like screens and touch pads.

It’s a bit shit with discreetly scrolling mechanisms and on OS’ that don’t do it right.
Found this for a non-jquery top scrollbar: https://jsfiddle.net/nsG5w/3/

No license, but looks simple enough to implement.

As for the Mac people with no visible scrollbars, I don't know if there's a fix. Maybe you just rely on 95% of them being on trackpads where they're much more likely to notice a horizontal scrolling table than people with scroll wheels.

I wish we had some standard but more compact UI affordance to indicate scrollable content without needing a scrollbar. Like an ellipsis for truncated text. But touchscreen phones have definitely driven user behavior to "just try scrolling everything, if it doesn't scroll that's how you know it's not scrollable."

Not great for scroll wheels, and I'm sure there are plenty of phone users who have issues with this too. Not everybody is constantly touching everything to see if it works. But the only thing you'll see is sometimes there's a line of text that's only half visible. And with the amount of whitespace everywhere lately, that's not even likely to happen most of the time.
Look up lowercase capital and Chris Sacca. You will find plenty of information about them. Mostly positive, but not all positive.
Most popular website hosted on a single server in 2021?
I know things like K8s, Nomad, Docker Swarm, etc. exist - however I'm curious what website is the most popular/technically complex that's hosted on a single server. I know there was a point in time where Stack Overflow was 3 physical machines.

I'd love to hear some stories.
I recall that last October Trump's people, in a move that was as petty as it was somewhat dead-on, made the Wifi password for the Press "WhoBuiltTheCagesJoe?"

I think it ought to have been the SSID, myself, and the password being the correct answer, but I suppose it was a start.
Whether or not anyone "deserves" the money is probably not really your problem (in an org chart sense), and I think you should be happy with whatever "excess" you or the candidates are receiving. Don't internalize the capitalism too much, I guess is what I'm saying. If you think someone will do what you need them to do in a role, and the company is willing to pay them N dollars for it, all is well.
On one hand an actual professionally designed course on programming in either of those games would be amazing if that's what you want to do.

On the other hand, this just feels gross... If my parents just picked a video game for me and decided I was going to take a course on it I don't think I could be convinced to give a shit about it.
Thanks for article, really helpful read.
