There's two things wrong with this. First taking as self-evident the notion that plain or simple language is necessarily more effective in communicating ideas to a broad audience. That's very questionable. Effective orators don't just communicate simply to 'move ideas around', they also inspire and connect emotionally with their audience, just think of any well-regarded and successful politician.

Secondly implicit in that argument is the notion that ordinary people can only comprehend 'simple speech' and have no appreciation for form or aesthetics, which is pretty arrogant but par for the course for your average PG essay and
captures perfectly the stereotypical software developer developer mindset of completely lacking appreciation for style and thinking one's own ideas are so brilliant they have to be dumbed down for everyone else.
Well Webex Meetings is discontinued now dunno where you’ve been.

Regarding dogfooding: I’d say an equally large problem is that many Cisco employees (ESPECIALLY in Collaboration units) are issued hardware endpoints for office or home use. So we spend unnaturally few minutes in-call using actual, normal-people Webex desktop clients and instead join meetings using DX80s, Desk Pros and other desk units.
I've never had the experience of pricing a product, but my intuition tells me this could be a win. We occasionally see articles on HN that describe how to increase prices without losing your audience.

Perhaps there are others here that can offer feedback and advice.

Research and experiment. If you do embark on this, a postmortem write-up with your learnings would be a great read.

Best of luck with whatever your plans are. It's a cool app!
This thread is a great example of how you can run a profitable company while pissing off 99% of people.
True, it can be a proxy for it but even the desire to want a personal project (it's not a side project, it's not a hussle check) implies the person sees the development field as more than just a paycheck.

Someone seeing the field as just a paycheck will often cease to want to improve themselves, take new challenges and other desired traits.

Sadly, some of these conversations do devolve into some weird eugenics-like items....
A few years ago, I heard a hypothesis why hotter summers in the northern hemisphere can cause colder winters. I forgot where, or from whom I heard it, but here it is:

Winters got more severe, and polar can vortex move further south because lands in the north became more dry, and there is less moisture both in the air, and soil.

Can we not use the word "colored"? It's a racist term from colonial times used by white supremacists to dehumanize BIPOCs.
The trouble with comments like this is that they make the thread even worse by amplifying what they're complaining about (and adding a layer of meta on top).

It's much better to dampen bad stuff by downvoting/flagging it and/or amplify good stuff by contributing interesting things.

They need to be forced to limit a 4 year degree tuition costs to the average starting salary for people with the same degree graduating from their school. Align the incentives for them to provide valuable degrees and they make more money. This will get rid of a lot of the waste (pointless administration and cruise ship level amenities). If you want government backed loan promises you have to play by their rules.

This is a good point. One could argue that some people buy currency on forex to use it for a different business which gives them a gain. So your selling benifits them and you.
WRT SMC, I guess I figured it'd be used to put some firmware code in EL2, but not be the exclusive owner of EL2 if that's possible. Cut out a reserved region of mem in m1n1 or u-boot, and an EL2 SMC call would simply be a jump to that code without a mode switch. You'd see that kinda thing in some older ARM RTOSes which would run everything at the same privilege level, but use SWI as a core executive invoke. Of course now that I've typed this all out I realize that I was kinda assuming that there'd be some SMC-hack specific vector table that it could own, but it probably traps to the normal EL2 one which I think is what you're hinting at...

Anyways, is there anything that a systems engineer with RE experience and isn't looking for any of y'all's donations can do to help out? I'm between jobs and it seems like fun.
I always thought that Firefox would be the professional's browser but it keeps failing at the task. Maybe Microsoft could succeed at creating a browser that aims to make office workers more productive? Imagine a browser made to be extended and automated and with deep integrations with Playwright, Node, other MS products. They could even throw a couple of millions at addon devs to port the most popular add-ons on the market to the new browser. Obviously it would also focus on ad blocking, privacy and security but that's the new default for browsers.
I feel obligated to acknowledge that I'm sympathetic to the author's concerns here.

But I think she's neglecting the important reason why what she calls a "rational" approach is so popular: it's the only kind of approach that generalizes across different cultures. When you identify an object detection model that tends to perform poorly on people with dark skin, researchers in Dublin, Tokyo, Beijing, or Lagos can understand and agree with what you've found. If you want to find ways to reduce this bias, they'll all be able to help you look, and you can help them with their challenges in turn.

When you move to her "relational" approach, and start talking about "personhood, data, justice, and everything in between", those researchers are going to have wildly divergent and often irreconcilable views. Even two researchers in the same city might struggle to work together on these terms, if they come from different subcultures with different views about how the world should be. The possibility of cross-cultural collaboration is a big thing to give up, and to most people (including myself) it's really a core requirement for any scientific research practice.
I wasn't the one who said my assertion was true because of "logic"

You seem to be backing up my point with your claims. Nuclear has consistently gotten more expensive over time. The designs you point to from the 1970s will never be built again, because nuclear engineers realized their flaws and don't want to build them again.

With each new generation of nuclear, it gets more expensive, not less. As we refine the designs, we spend more per GW, not less. And not just a little bit more, but massively more. Even if we build the AP1000 serially, do you think it could reach $3B/GW? That's a huge hike in reasoning, and I'm not sure where in the long long Wikipedia article for nuclear power it states that serially production of the same design could drop costs by a factor or 4 (or more).

Everywhere it has been studied, nuclear has a negative learning rate. See, for example, Figure 1 and the many articles it cites:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S030142151...
This shows why if the government does some amount of student debt forgiveness, it must be coupled with tuition price controls of some sort. It's not plausible that student debt forgiveness will be a one-time affair. And if the government forgives, say, $10,000 per year of student debt, tuitions will quickly rise by an additional $10,000 per year, and the student debt level will be unchanged. The incentives in the higher education market are already a mess, and throwing in debt forgiveness with no cost controls will make it even crazier.
...except that macros don't change the syntax of the language!

They just offer convenience on top of it, most common example is the `=>` lambda operator from the `sugar` module. I do agree, that the pattern matching macro presented in the article is a bit hard to get used to, but you don't have to, if you don't like pattern matching. And of course there are plenty of alternatives available as well, the simplest one imo is https://github.com/andreaferretti/patty

2 OVH dedicated servers in different countries are still cheaper than one AWS instance.

e.g. I've got servers at OVH SBG-2, Hetzner's Falckenstein, and Online.net's AMS datacenters — the total of which is still almost a magnitude less than the same cost on AWS or GCP (granted, that's including traffic)
> The process is a 2-way negotiation between equal parties.

This is the only statement in your comment I take issue with. The company has access to all kinds of local, regional, and national salary data, as well as a holistic idea of the kind of candidates they're getting. If it's a large company, they have people whose only job is negotiation (especially around salary).

It's a decidedly unequal negotiation, that sometimes works in our favor (as in when we can get multiple offers to arrive at one time to bid up our pay).

The only reason it's as equal as it is is due to demand for hiring. Most other industries you take what you can get. Let's enjoy it while it lasts. Given the proliferation of "learn to code", outsourcing, insourcing, and other attempts to widen the number of qualified developers, I'm not sure how long this gravy train will continue to last.

Hopefully long enough for me to retire.

If we are to redesign the laptop why can't we admit that it's current design and use cases are at odds? People are running zoom and docker and slack and a dozen other things at once. We waste more resources than ever doing the same chat/etc. stuff we've been doing for 25 years. Things aren't moving faster, fans are going full tilt and CPUs throttle down.

What the people need more than anything is for manufacturers to take a step away from making a 2.5lb aluminum blade and instead offer a sufficient cooling solution.
Pretty much. Use 5% of the money you saved moving your workload from AWS to OVH to support failover, DR, and backups. You can probably buy like five or six machines of equivalent spec or more.
White translator removed from Amanda Gorman poem, amid controversy in Europe
You're right that there is no obvious right or wrong, but I don't think it's a matter of background either. For example, I have a similar background and think that the "old" way of doing things is an over-abstracted waste of time.

I spent many years doing frontends with CSS, then Less, Sass, and I have used all of the popular methodologies at some point or another. I am very comfortable building things that way, and it would probably be my preference, all things being equal.

However, developing with Tailwind is just plain faster than the other methodologies. And it's easier to adjust components in production. When it comes down to it, those are two areas that Tailwind excels in, and high-abstraction CSS methodologies (despite their other merits) do not.

Aye. I can migrate my social media activities to another platform, but migrating my company's infrastructure would take years and cost millions.

Atmospheric drag is too difficult to overcome to achieve the projected range. I would guess the cannon functions similar to an ICBM. Hurling a projectile into low earth orbit where it can travel long distances without expending too much energy. Re-entering the atmosphere to impact its target.

Part of the problem is the F-35 lacking the range to compete with china and russia's fighters. While a 1000 mile range is impressive. The accuracy could not compete with the laser precision of guided munitions launched by aircraft. Significant disadvantages over the long term.
I have the opposite problem where I live. With DST the sun does not rise until 8 AM.

In fact, in January, the sun rises here at 7:40 AM Standard Time. Which would be 8:40 AM Daylight Time.

You could use NixOps[0] for Nix but I'm not sure you can directly compare Terraform and Guix/Nix? My set up involves Terraform for infrastructure and Nix for provisioning, and it's working for me so far.

For grins I pasted PG's text into the demo readability tool at <https://app.readable.com/text/?demo>.

'Write Simply' received an overall grade of 'A', and a very-approachable Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 5.9. It's said to be readable by 100% of the literate general public, which is only 85% of the full general public.

But, out of the 507 words and 38 sentences, 4 sentences were flagged as "very long" (over 30 syllables) and 15 as "long" (over 20 syllables).

Two 'hard words' – over 12 letters or over 4 syllables – were flagged, somewhat ironically: "unnecessarily intellectual".
To clarify, I'm aware there's a difference in perspective occurring. You're approaching it more from if it's beneficial to the larger group. But Bob is supposed to be my friend, if I can't trust him to keep something socially volatile like that a secret then he's failed me at an individual in a potentially harmful way. At an individual level it makes far more sense to bury Bob than say 'thanks for screwing me Bob'
Is climate change the most consequential effect of global warming? What does a 1C increase in temperature on a global / astronomical scale mean in terms of thermodynamics? How do we experience it at human scale?

I have a basic undergraduate understanding of physics (at best), and it seems to me that the planet should be experiencing a significant increase in entropy - meaning that everything (i.e. reality itself) is becoming less predictable — at least in our tiny local neighborhood. Is this interpretation totally wrong?

Having been on the other side of this I do have a viewpoint to present you.

For context I worked for an online apparel retailer that had a lot of images and the site was hosted on Shopify.

The first solution chosen by the team was imgix, which was chosen because it had a very simple API, so integration effort was minor. The internal pitch to the business was we can reduce page load time by optimising the images. It received quick approval because it's a quick win and the costs seemed okay.

As the site got larger and our bills got greater than $1,000-$2,000 someone from imgix reached out and offered to sign us up to a contract for a better rate. I don't recall actual numbers but we ended up paying approx. $2,000 a month despite our growth in usage.

At the same time, competitors would approach us mentioning cheaper fees, sometimes half. However, all pitches failed because even at 50% off, the cost to the business was so insignificant as to not warrant the dev time. In addition to that, most replacements failed to be simpler to integrate than imgix.

The team did eventually move off imgix when Shopify introduced their img_url filter that actually did less than imgix - but was free. For the team the motivation to move was reduce a dependency and completely cut ongoing costs associated with a 3rd-party service.

Coming back to your question I think there are two approaches you can take:

1. Find slow, image heavy, sites and pitch them your product. If you are first in the door you could have an advantage. When working with e-commerce most founders start from nothing and you can just search for "founder of X" and should be able to find a name on LinkedIn. The pitch here is use us = your site faster = more revenue.

2. Offer agencies really competitive affiliate kickbacks. My observation of e-commerce is that many agencies receive kickbacks for recommending tools. Shopify themselves provide an affiliate program for referrals. As long as your service is easy to use and reliable, the agency won't care too much about other factors as long as its profitable. The pitch here is use us = more profit.

3. Content market to developers by showcasing how easy it is to use your app and clearly demonstrating benefits. The goal is to catch developers that are looking for solutions and doing some kind of market analysis or prototype. The pitch here is use us = get job done fast.
> But I can’t imagine that it’s possible to create a tool that does the reverse: converting Tailwind to semantic HTML and CSS. The only thing you could realistically convert Tailwind to is some other utility framework (e.g., Bootstrap) that locks you in with its own syntax and class names.

I don't understand what is impossible about this. A standard tree walker and a GUI tool to define the individual components will suffice. Or to make things simpler, have a command line tool that takes in the CSS selector/XPath of the desired tag/component and generate the relevant CSS. There are already browser extensions that can do this. Also, nothing is stopping you from writing semantic HTML. Vanilla Tailwind is an (almost) one-to-one bijective mapping to CSS. It does not define your HTML unless you are using prebuilt components.
If I saw "spoon", I'd assume that they meant "the actual spoon I use to eat cereal in my drawer" rather than either tsp or tbsp. The point is that the recipe author doesn't know what the right amount of that spice is. They can't know because the spice sitting in your cabinet is almost certainly much less fresh than what they have in the kitchen.

Spices tend to be flexible outside a few exceptions. I'd wager that you can just wildly change almost any spice amount in almost any recipe before you've ever made it and and have any sort of calibrated taste it'll turn out fine. Salt is a way bigger risk here and not many recipes give precise salt measurements.
If the lending change in 1993 had a big effect, it should be visible in the graph of inflation the article provides, but it looks like things carried on as it did before.

It doesn't matter if the government guarantees loans, or lends the money directly. Either way, the government is making loans cheaper, and thus making it easier to pay for university.
I guess software dev can afford to blow 1000$/year on silly side projects. Especially seeing how he got back significant portion of his expenditure. Being single or not has nothing to do with that? It sure seems fair to agree on spending policy with your significant other beforehand, but other than that...
"harder and harder to get people that known and understand them"

This is not surprising. IBM could fix this overnight if it wanted to. How? By providing no-cost educational licenses for its mainframe software for use on Hercules. Why don't they do this? I believe that there are 2 reasons why: (1) they're terrified of people running their production mainframe workloads on a non-mainframe, and (2) I believe that some of IBM's existing mainframe customers keep pressure on IBM to prevent them from opening up the 'mainframe secrets to the world'. The second point is the belief in security through obscurity. I don't have any evidence to back up this belief, it's just my theory.

The other thing that IBM could do is provide low-cost (or even no-cost) options to real mainframe environment over the internet. I know that they have some of this, but it's too restrictive. I'm talking about opening it up like AWS did with free for 1 year. But that's expensive? It wasn't free for AWS to do it, and it wouldn't be free for IBM to do it. However, it would eliminate the biggest barrier to entry for new talent.

Getting back to my theory of security through obscurity, I believe that this is also in play with AIX and iSeries (AS/400). A number of years back, I bought a used RS/6000 workstation on eBay for the purpose of learning and I contacted IBM to get a licensed copy of AIX 4.3. It was as if I were speaking in tongues trying to get through to them.

IBM: "Sir, what's your IBM customer number?"
Me: "Umm, I don't have one. I'm just an individual who bought a used RS/6000 on eBay."
IBM: "We can't sell you an AIX license without a customer number."
Me: "Ok, well give me one."
IBM: "What's the name of the company?"
Me: "There is no company. It's just me as an individual who wants to learn about the technology."
IBM: "We have to have a company name."
Me: "Put my name as the company name."
...
...
...
Eventually, get assigned an IBM customer number and did finally get AIX CD-ROMs from IBM.

I can only imagine that it would be 10x worse to do something similar with their iSeries (AS/400). When you see this over and over, I'm left with the conclusion that IBM doesn't want individuals getting their hands on their hardware or their software.
