I just wonder how practical it really is to do any kind of meaningful sysadmin work on a phone. Yeah you can ssh and type long commands better, but if you're in an enterprise setting you have to vpn in, then connect to a jump server so you have ssh aliases and pki certs. Or have them ready on your phone, but how do you keep it up to date? What about auxiliary programs that are needed to make better decisions once ssh is established (monitoring)?..

I'm saying maybe it's legit, maybe I'm just oldfashioned.

Interesting. I had wanted to go for years, because Icelandair had been promoting "Fly to Europe, lay over in Iceland for a few days" rather than Iceland as a destination unto itself. Sounds like I nabbed it just in time.

I only had time for the touristy stuff in the immediate vicinity of Reykjavik. I would like to go back and see it more intimately.

The design of a car is obviously limited by fundamental aspects of physics which are outside of the control of car manufacturers. For example, car manufacturers didn't invent combustion, aerodynamics, etc.
> need to be physically colocated to be productive

I suspect that my employer will have us back in the office before the end of the year after a year of remote working. Although I actually sort of prefer the office myself, the whole "physically colocated" thing is especially comical in my situation (which I think is common in most big corporations) - none of the people I actually work with are in the same office, or even the same time zone, as me. So I'll drive a half hour each way to essentially be a remote worker anyway, and I definitely won't be the only one.
It's running Lineage OS which is pretty close to stock Android sans a lot of the invasive Google telemetry so it will probably run smoother than you would expect given the specs.
Honestly using VS Code and Teams every day has convinced me that Electron apps are a net good. It's incredibly convenient that both of those apps work essentially identically on Mac & PC, and the Mac OS apps maintain feature parity with the PC versions.

This is such a nice change, after years and years of bizarro-world Mac apps that have slowly become out-of-date, weird, or slow compared to the PC versions (ahem, Microsoft Office).

Yes, there is a ton of overhead, but this feels like the way of the (near) future for cross-platform software. I'd love to see cross-platform Electron-based versions of apps like OmniOutliner, which is an incredible program that is held back by the lack of a PC version, meaning you can't share outlines or use it professionally.
Price it in. 8h work + 2h commute means minimum 25%+ higher comp to come into the office. We now know it's not necessary for the majority of work.

Managing salaried employees by optimizing their productivity as hourly labourers is essentially abuse.

The secret is to always maintain an opportunity funnel and a pipeline of potential job opportunities that you can convert into interviews or jobs within a few weeks.
Italy bans cruise ships from Venice – again

Everyone keeps jumping on Microsoft, but Microsoft is not the problem.

The problem are the Universities, specifically management and the Board of Directors.

They see IT as a complete waste of time, they won't fund it properly, they refuse to pay market rates. Coupled with the fact that the staff behaves like children, pushing back on EVERYTHING that the security teams want to implement.

The staff doesn't understand why people need passwords, I'm not kidding, they want just open access to everything from anywhere without any controls, and they throw temper tantrums when any controls are put in place. Frankly if it wasn't for the safety and security of the University these people would not be able to function in the real world, and I can't image what it must be like for students dealing with these egotistical, bombastic children.
Seriously. We're talking about horrible things, here.

But if it came to a nuclear exchange, China has ~300, and the US and Russia ~6,000 each. Total yield numbers are harder to come by(?), so those are +/- considering tactical-scale inventory.

Historically, this was because China's nuclear doctrine was to limit their stockpile to a minimal deterrent.

Personally? Sitting about 40km from a priority US target, I'd support the US risking a strike to guarantee Taiwan's freedom.

Either you stand for something, or you don't. And China doesn't get to claim modern territory by dusting off historical documents. Hong Kong was untenable, but Taiwan should be a line. If its citizens don't want to be Chinese, they get to make that choice.

PS: Russia would probably care less about a strike on China, unless China negotiated their support via treaty. That ship sailed in the early 60s.
Didn't know what I was clicking on here... totally worth it. Great little piece of history. I love this kind of weird ripple effect that happens in the world.
Storing the name of an "environment" in an environment variable and then using that to pick the appropriate configuration file is what .Net Core does for web apps and that seems to work fairly well.

Then, of course, you have the fun of Azure Application Configuration and KeyVaults - which are fine once set up and your app is happy with them.
Could be. I will have to try turning things off one at a time and re-test.

The opening of Borges' essay is absolutely brilliant writing:

> AT TRIESTE, IN 1872, in a palace with damp statues and deficient hygienic facilities, a gentleman on whose face an African scar told its tale — Captain Richard Francis Burton, the English consul — embarked on a famous translation of the Quitab aliflaila ua laila, which the roumis know by the title, The Thousand and One Nights. One of the secret aims of his work was the annihilation of another gentleman (also weatherbeaten, and with a dark Moorish beard) who was compiling a vast dictionary in England and who died long before he was annihilated by Burton. That gentleman was Edward Lane, the Orientalist, author of a highly scrupulous version of The Thousand and One Nights that had supplanted a version by Galland. Lane translated against Galland, Burton against Lane; to understand Burton we must understand this hostile dynasty.

Borges also admires Burton's footnotes:

> Thus Volume Six (which I have before me) includes some three hundred notes, among which are the following: a condemnation of jails and a defense of corporal punishment and fines; some examples of the Islamic respect for bread; a legend about the hairiness of Queen Belkis’ legs; an enumeration of the four colors that are emblematic of death; a theory and practice of Oriental ingratitude; the information that angels prefer a piebald mount, while Djinns favor horses with a bright-bay coat; a synopsis of the mythology surrounding the secret Night of Power or Night of Nights; a denunciation of the superficiality of Andrew Lang; a diatribe against rule by democracy; a census of the names of Mohammed, on the Earth, in the Fire, and in the Garden; a mention of the Amalekite people, of long years and large stature; a note on the private parts of the Moslem, which for the man extend from the navel to his knees, and for the woman from the top of the head to the tips of her toes; a consideration of the asa’o [roasted beef] of the Argentine gaucho; a warning about the discomforts of “equitation” when the steed is human; an allusion to a grandiose plan for cross-breeding baboons with women and thus deriving a sub-race of good proletarians. At fifty, a man has accumulated affections, ironies, obscenities, and copious anecdotes; Burton unburdened himself of them in his notes.
I also have mixed feelings about Lombok.

For example, if you want to automatically create getters and setters to all private variables, why not make them public in the first place?

I hate when tools mess with IDE. What about guys using Emacs (or any other editor that does not understand Lombok)? I think generating code from IDE is fine as well as having code generated from build system distributed along with code, but having that code generated through magic of annotation processor is not as nice. I also suspect that Lombok messes my IDE on a deeper level but I have not yet a good concrete proof. Recently I am more and more frequently finding situations where Idea messes up understanding correct types of things and it takes for it some time to catch up (and sometimes reloading the file).

On the other hand I love small things like creating builder or logger. Which is to say these can be just as easily generated from a template, no annotation processor needs to be involved.

I think main feature of Java for many years were its IDEs which would allow to run accurate refactorings or always understand who is using particular piece of code, what is exact call hierarchy, etc. I feel loosing that is going to make Java much less useful for me when I try to analyze large project or run huge refactorings.
I don't know about programming but I have definitely used a remote shell session from my phone while on the subway.

Can't now because my device doesn't have sufficient access, but I used to have VPN on it.
> This is not what I see in my career. Bulk of the applications we installed and ran used some forms of environment variables for runtime configuration of the tool/application.

I think we might have different backgrounds and considerations as to what counts as 'oldschool'? Maybe I shouldn't have extrapolated this to pre-2000... So, my experience comes from working with the following 'mood' of services:

Postfix, Exim, qmail, slapd, PostgreSQL, MySQL, FreeRADIUS, Apache, Nginx, ...

All of which have their own config file/files, format, etc. All of these system-wide services, not user applications. And I think that's the main difference? I tend to deal with software that is deployed in isolated environments, be it by root users on production server, or by whoever in a containerized environment. And not deployed on an interactive systems, to then be started/reconfigured by users running on the same system.

> I've never seen it TBH, and if that's not documented well, it would be a big bag of fun for the users of that code.

Check out the list above on Dockerhub. I'm not sure all of them are dockerized in this way, but at least a handful of them are.

I’ve actually heard people with certain handicaps find they can type better with the physical keyboard. I’m not sure what those handicaps are - I read it a long time ago. I think one thing may have been poor eyesight and being able to feel the keys helped aid them.
Sorry, but you are mistaken, there is a mandate in Cuba that government vehicles must stop to pick up passengers if an "Amarillo" stops them, failing to do so will have them reported and "perhaps" face some consequence. The Amarillo, named like this because of their uniform, always have a little board where they write down the plates of all the government's cars who didn't stop when they had capacity.

People don't get around just fine, your experience was probably heavily skewed as a foreigner. There is no reliable train in Cuba, a 200 miles trip might take 18hrs. Inter provinces traveling is a nightmare, you can go to a bus terminal and wait days to get a ticket to the other side of the country, by wait days I mean on the terminal, sleeping on the floor.

I left Cuba around 7 years ago, right after college. My weekly routine was leaving college on Fridays at 5pm and go hitchhike in Alamar for a few hours, some days it was quick, others I could arrive at Alamar at 6pm and still be there at 11pm and finally getting home at 1AM. The travel back was the same until through a friend of mine I was able to get a weekly "leftover" seat in those tourist's bus.

Excellent description, I wished I could've pushed your comment higher.

People are always shocked when I tell how tiny is the semi industry, but it really is.

Besides the super-concentration of semi manufacturing which starts to get more coverage, designs needs some exposure too.

When Apple bought PA Semi, it went rather unnoticed, but people didn't know that the amount of logic designers of a such calibre who can design cores like ZEN, or Firestorm is probably less than 100 in the whole of North America.

Sounds very dramatic, but America is less than 100 senior logic designers away from getting out of design business too.

All in all it sounds like the class adequately prepared you for the real world.
There aren't many companies that can compete with 100 billion dollar capex demands. While the loans are freely available, the development risk remains. TSMC has a proven track record pushing into the latest node - intel does not. Samsung has been a little bit behind for a while while keeping pace.

Following this trend - 2nm will have something on the order of 200 billion in capex outlays. Given that being first to market has a premium, the loan will be high risk. If you borrow thinking you'll be first and are late by 4 years then you and your bank are going to have a problem.
It targets me since my hands are way too fat and I need to type Norwegian. None of the keyboards from apple (who doesn't even have swipe in Norwegian), google or microsoft supports compound words.

Combine that with my fat fingers that generally press 3-4 keys on my iphone at the same time I have to spend a lot of time erasing what I just wrote. A physical slide out keyboard would be great.
That's not what "lie" means.
All good points. However, just as an fyi, you can use stuff like GApps to use Playstore Apps without having to buy into Google's digital anal probing.
If they go that route I hope they explicitly ban non-inline content.

I’ve seen some hilarious plaintext content. One of the best was the raw template with the {{ customerName }} place holders.
Show HN: Curated List of Quality Products
BuyItForQuality is a platform where people can discover quality products that are loved by people from around the world.

The platform features a small list of products that are of good quality.

The reasons why I think we need to have a small list of quality products are as follows.

1. There are so many products in Amazon or other e-commerce websites. It's really hard for us to find what products that can improve our life quality.

2. There are some products that are unanimously loved. We want to make this information available to those who may not know it.

3. The product reviews from websites like wirecutter are good. However, it is growing into a big list that sometimes is hard to digest.

The website does not have a lot features( comments, more buying options etc) but I would consider adding them if there is a need for it.

I welcome any constructive feedbacks. Thanks.

Well I may try ! I'm not very religious, I used Java for everything since I've started programming and I work in low latency in an investment bank now. I adore Java, it's my truly native programming language, I try to know all of its quirks, study each new version and know still not enough to satisfy my love of it.

I also did a lot of C# to help on a GUI optimization project (because doing low latency if the GUI freezes every 10 minutes isn't great), and I was really surprised by how good it was so I wouldn't disagree it works nice.

BUT I like that Java works simply in linux, I like that it didn't yet got contaminated by all the crazy constructs from elsewhere (Groovy grr), I love the tradition around the syntax (I can't stand C# quirks sometimes). I do HATE with passion the meaningless generics, and I wish we'd ditch backward compat to steal it all form C++ templates.

I enjoy more than the language syntax itself that is close to most languages I like (Javascript, C#, C++), the team spirit around it. Believe me, it's much easier to use and understand maven (or maybe gradle who starts to get dangerous in real world projects where you can't afford 2 weeks of reverse engineering a madman's build script) than it was nugget, it's easier to use IntelliJ than to receive yet another stupid email from compliance about a Visual Studio license missing, it's nicer to build a jar and run it than to go through all the kinks of exe files... I dunno I may have started from Java and got to C# and done the opposite of your journey, but while I agree C# has superior features in some aspects (but sometimes they chose mess vs safety) I just wasn't convinced it could work for something more critical where you must do things as simple as you can, as clear as you can.

And let's not even start on C++ who's superior in every conceivable way except that it encourage, or doesn't discourage, every team I ever meet to create unbearable messes they can't fix, so focused they are fixing problems we can't even imagine in Java for reasons we can't comprehend our company even accepts to finance :D

Happy there are more Linux phones on the market. When there is a good premium Linux phone with open boot loader I will buy one. Smartphones are really small computers and we should be able to run whatever operating system one wants on them. Freedom as free choice of os.
No worries in Java (and I bet in C#) in works no problemo:

public <T extends Collection<Integer>> T process(T collectionOfInteger) {
return collectionOfInteger;
}

And basically your T will be as wide as the interface/class it extends in the generic parameter.

I guess the most Java way to do that would be using Iterable:

public <Z, T extends Iterable<Z>> T process(T iterable) {
return iterable;
}
Never heard of manifold.
Thanks for sharing.

Works perfectly:

public <T extends Collection<Integer>> T process(T collectionOfInteger) {

Yes and no. The C# language does have conditional compilation, which is modelled after the C preprocessor. That can interfere with refactoring and limit its accuracy. The good thing is that this mechanism is rarely used in practice.

If you can tie your shoelaces, you can PM.

And that's Product Manager. Project Manager. Product Owner. People Master. etc.

That said, you sound like you are having a down day/time. Sucks.

You might be a bit burned out, too.

If you are not completely addicated to the salary, then there are a zillion things you can do.

Tho, all these other roles make decent money too.

One thing that I have done is 'developer support'.

'Support', to me, as in 'Support Engineer', can be, and often is, the lowliest, most wretched and grinding position in the company -- often depends on the company.

But doing 'Developer Support' can be more interesting and even fun because the customers are just more technically competent on average, and you'll basically be overqualified for the position -- i.e. you will not have any performance issues.

Forget coding during the day -- it sucks -- save your coding for after-work hours when you can create your own shit and have fun.
Just as an aside, I had to laugh a little at your comment re: Ashbery. His poetry is notoriously "difficult" even for "serious" readers of contemporary poetry, that is, until you read enough of it that you start to understand the internal logic - then it can be very impressive.

I suppose it depends on your patience for book-length hyperconvoluted and hypercontextual poems. I think his best material comes from some of the later and longer works - "Flow Chart" would be a good starting place.

For Rupi Kaur, it's probably best to think of that material as the equivalent of training wheels on a bicycle. At least it gets people reading a book that claims to be related to poetry in some way, right? You have to remember, her target demographic is the middle school to early 20s crowd, and most of it was intentionally designed to be easily consumed on social media more than for any attempt at literary merit.
As a SWE, I often hear that the best way to make more money is to get a new job.

If you get an offer, it's almost guaranteed to be higher since you have been grandfathered into an old rate at your current job and have almost certainly increased in value since you started.
I think Clubhouse started well but it really feels like is going downhill quickly. A16 is pushing its adoption hard (vested interest).

It's just so spammy and when I scroll through conversation it is incredibly tough to figure out where quality resides. That whole growth at all costs mantra --> As we descend down the quality chart to large scale adoption I am not really excited to see where it evolves to.
