With niche programming languages, I think the thing is to embrace the niche rather than try to go the traditional way.

We could be an outlier, but if there are enough D jobs going around (Often very well compensated), you shouldn't have a problem with Rust.
The line between configuration and code is fuzzy in mental space, so it makes sense we can't decide how to resolve it in digital space.

I believe the answer is "it depends on how you're using it" and generally speaking, customer needs override any pre-existing consensus on how it's being used.
I share your pain. I also used to work for Opera.

Please people, don't use Opera any more.
Unfortunately my experience of replit (is that the correct spelling now?) is that it doesn't work, even for development. I have the simplest create-react-app project [1], and not only does it take 10min to npm install, it then doesn't start (runs out of memory, gets killed). I know frontend development is in a bit of a weird place right now, but if it doesn't work for this...

I last tried it 8 months ago but I get the same thing now. If it takes seconds on GitHub's free CI and fails after 10min on your platform, then I really can't use it.

The build failed because the process exited too early. This probably means the system ran out of memory or someone called `kill -9` on the process.

>I’m a free marketeer. I believe that...wages represent the value that a worker provides to others.

Laughs in investor-captured surplus value.
deep sea robot recovery for materials recovery/recycling? likely not profitable now but, well, time makes fools of us all.
They could build in a requirement that the software has undergone penetration testing by a security firm, and that a copy of the penetration testing report along with any mitigations applied to the software be provided.

I've never even heard of the software the government is using. Why aren't they using Cisco AnyConnect like literally every other company I've worked for who has a VPN?
Ask HN: Do you need a MBA to be a Engineer Manager/Director?
Why repeat the same thing as the sibling comment posted an hour ago...?
I felt the same, it was super nice to open HN and see so many comments on a techno thread.

Not sure if a Discord would be helpful as might need a critical mass to not get abandoned... But I would love to have a place with people from HN to chat techno, feel that could take me to music discussions I haven't had yet, the crowd here is quite interesting.

From my personal background, I've always liked dance music, got more into it when I was 17-18 in Brazil when the psytrance/Goa trance raves were huge. Got tired of the trance scene after a couple of years and went to check out house parties, those took me to techno which grappled me very, very hard.

There is something about techno, this feeling of techy tribal music, the psychedelic repetition and playing just with textures and timbres of sounds to make "music", that attracts me in a deep way.

So deep that about 2.5 years ago I decided I would try to learn making electronic music, not only techno but it was definitely the initial goal. Since then I've discovered a whole new universe and language, I didn't ever think I'd be able to learn music, had a lot of preconceptions while growing up thinking that it was an innate talent and/or you needed to start early in life.

Techno has not given me many, many special moments, not only at parties but with the community, with the friends I've made (and some that I keep to this day, more than a decade later) but also a complete new experience trying to create something akin to art, haha.
We are doing an enterprise startup and as we call people in our network to see if they could use it, a few have called VC buddies and said, "Hey we're seriously looking at this product, it's really cool and we know these guys too. They haven't raised any money yet so you should look at them". This has cause us to accelerate our pitch-deck-writing.

Lest you think this is some kind of humblebrag, this hasn't turned into any investment yet. Just giving a scenario under which it could work.

It's in these enterprise folks' interest for us to have investment as it reduces their risk in adopting our product.
I've got one up [0] at the Spring Thing Festival of Interactive Fiction [1] that's a pretty straight-forward example of Ink.

From the article:

> Given McAthy’s expertise and scholarship on the subject, it’s not surprising that Blue Heron has been producing the vegan cheese world’s most dairy-esque products since 2016: its dried herb- and wine-powdered rounds look nearly indistinguishable on a cheese board from dairy. But that’s not actually McAthy’s intention.

> “My personal goal has always been that I really want to try to create or expand the boundaries of cheese-making, period,” she says. “So that means I’m happy to use the analogous term that people have a reference point for” — some of her cheeses resemble blues and Camembert — “but I’m just trying to create new cheeses.” This brings up the question of what cheese really is, exactly, and what vegan cheesemakers might be proving is that it’s simply fermented milk. Could be cow’s or goat’s milk, or it could be cashew.

The article talks a lot about artisanal cheese makers applying traditional dairy processes to nut-based cheeses
I did consulting (management consulting, not software) after a PhD and I would have written something similar after a few months. And there is a lot of truth to it. But if you stick with it, you realize what a bubble you were living in in academia and how varied (and tough) the real world is. It's not for everyone (and honestly I wasn't very good at it) but it's an experience that can really help you grow if you're open to it.

I would say it makes you have to prove yourself to new people every project, which is scary but let's you feel the full weight of what you are doing and not just coast on past achievements.

And as a technical person, you learn how technical skill and rigor is looked upon and weighted by the people that are paying. Like the author says, it's often an afterthought, but its valuable to learn this first hand.
> Even the graphs themselves seem to show entirely different picture

The graph for 2020 is roughly double what you'd see in every year except 2013, and 2021 has already matched most other years.

I think they're trying to make too much of a trend out of years dominated by one major accident, but the data definitely shows two worse than usual years in a row.
Things might have changed since I finished the program, but their career services were effective for me.
But sadly, not legal to fork and use =(
I'm just going to go ahead here and state the obvious. The flu did not magically disappear and people with the flu are without any question being counted as counted as covid-19 cases.
This article is O-K, but just like the title, it's a bit generic, and to be honest the whole genre deserves more research and detail.

Here are some tracks that should be mentioned as influential for techno in general.

Sharpside - I Love Techno (Original Mix) - 2000
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LMJcexnRvE

Moroder - Chase - 1978
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViN2bRGrBx8

...and let's not forget about the ladies
Delia Derbyshire - Pot Au Feu - 1968

Amazon's retail business (amazon.com) isn't even the majority of its revenue anymore.
Marketing and positioning definitely needs a push towards robust and scalable hosting.

Integrated environments (browser IDE + CI/CD + serverless hosting) are going to be big for starter apps and quick APIs.

I spent some time reviewing Google Cloud Shell Editor, which has git support (not GitHub yet I guess) and one-click build & deployment to Google Cloud Run, which overall is a powerful integrated environment in itself.

Imo, replit should preemptively focus on improving and highlighting hosting.
It ABSOLUTELY is a SPOF and was responsible for several high profile outages at GCP last year.
I wouldn't call it optimism per se, not in absolute terms at least. That will certainly continue to be a problem. But Apple messing up their own software either by accident or on purpose is a nice boon. And a single piece of consumer hardware being so good that that their a patreon for it is also interesting and good.

For the reasons you say, I personally would rather buy e.g. some pine64 thing just might benefit from this porting work. (Probably more in the userland than kernel itself, tbh.)

The one good path I see for hardware is that in the system on chip era, open designs can gain a foothold by saving the companies money, just as no one could compete with free linux for server software 2 decades prior. There was no hope getting a foothold with 1 design = 1 chip, but a world where people can mooch some free IP for their dohicky might do the trick.
That's a bit of a separate issue from their massively efficient logistics network.
I wonder how many other hazards are out there. I have feeling it's small fraction compared to something like tree logs or g*d knows what else.
I'm assuming good faith here, and you should too until you find out otherwise. It's fine to be skeptical, but it's rarely helpful to be cynical.
How focused would this need to be to target this particular area? Shouldn’t we see people nearby also affected?
Thats a very old tradition.

Sometimes local traditon encuraged potential salvage, by setting up false lights.

edit:

but wikipedia actually says, this might be a urban legend, as there is no clear evidence this ever happened
Straightforward authority servers like these are very easy to write, in memory-safe languages. It might actually take longer to figure out how to get a BIND configuration doing what Replit does here, but even if it didn't, the resulting server is much safer than BIND, and does exactly and only what you want it to do.

I think: a pretty easy engineering decision.
> Unlike Covid, kids are a significant vector of spread for influenza.

Children, in fact, have been hypothesized to be the primary reservoir for influenza.

The implication of this is that it would be much better to vaccinate all children against influenza rather than everybody else.
The worth of the ISA's you sell depend on how easy it is to discharge the loan...
For all the old Infocom/Scott Adams* fans, would it be hard to add graphics? Sounds like it’s text only at this point.

*not the Dilbert guy, as far as I know
Write little command line tools for yourself in it (it’s the same answer for most languages).
Then you may have a business model.
Yes in both cases, and you'll get landscapers/gardeners who won't take the job because of it. The services around here let you pick a day, but you have no say in exactly what time or what equipment they're using. This gets you a cheaper price, and lets them work through that week's client list effectively.

The important thing is them passing on not doing your job won't affect their next one, unlike what happens if an uber driver declines too many rides.
There is something amusing that the kernel maintainer most outraged by the whole thing is the guy who spends time changing the kernel to cripple OpenZFS.
Interesting historical tidbit I'd picked up recently: in England, the reason Oxford and Cambridge are the oldest and most prestigious universities is that, until the nineteenth century they were the only permitted universities, operating under a state-mandated duopoly.

The association of higher education and monopoly is a curious one.
I have trouble getting students to concentrate on difficult material for anywhere near a whole class even if it's their only class of the day (and I'm considered a good and entertaining professor, honest). No WAY I could get anyone to concentrate on difficult material for 40 hours per week. I mean really no way, even if I were a teaching genius.

Learning difficult material means taking breaks and digesting stuff subconsciously.

Therefore, learning anything difficult takes a certain minimum of calendar time as well as hours in the classroom.
Not all agencies, but the US gov't does use Cisco AnyConnect and pretty much everything they use for IT is COTS these days.
If two jobs are equivalent, workers are going to pick whichever one pays better. That means if Walmart is offering $10 to employees and Target tries to offer $10 to contractors (who have to pay more of the taxes), workers will take jobs at Walmart because they get a bigger paycheck. Target will have to pay more if they want to get people to work there as contractors by an amount equivalent to the difference in taxes.

Which means saying that the company pays this amount and the worker pays that amount doesn't really mean anything. In the case where the worker nominally pays less of the tax, the company doesn't have to pay as much to the worker to make the job equally attractive. It doesn't really change who pays.

Of course this is theoretical and real systems have friction and stupidity in them, so people who are lazy or bad at math may end up taking a worse deal because it was framed in a particular way. But that's an information problem -- it has information solutions.

Instead of spending all this time campaigning to classify people as employees, just send out pamphlets to all the Uber drivers with a cost breakdown of what the equivalent employee wage would be compared to what Uber is paying them. Maybe some of them will quit and then Uber will have to pay the others more. Maybe the people doing the job aren't as dumb as they're made out to be and have their reasons. Either way, you solve the information problem with information, not prohibition.
I think junk food place in general is actually more hygienic.
On the other hand, this sort of needs to exist on some level for two reasons:

1. If you go bankrupt, most stuff can be taken away if you can't pay for it. I can take your car, house, etc, but I can't take you education. You still have the full and complete value of that, so I'm not sure it's obvious that bankruptcy should remove the debt.

2. When you graduate, you typically haven't really got any money yet. It would be very easy for recent grads to just go bankrupt before they start accumulating wealth, and then go on with their lives without the loan debt.
It seems like the investigation didn't harp on it much, but honestly I think the biggest issue is the repeated warnings the patient might have been suicidal. I was helping out with data analysis for a psychiatry study that didn't even really involve an intervention (looking at how well vocal properties from daily audio clips predict clinical scales), and it was made very clear how imperative it was to act if we had any reason to believe the patient was at imminent risk for self harm.

So it is crazy to me that they didn't unenroll the patient upon receiving that warning. If a patient threatened suicide in one of their recordings we would have to get in contact with their main doctor ASAP, and this is actually one of the things the IRB was concerned about - if we didn't review the recordings in a timely fashion but patients thought we did, it could mean a suicide threat gets missed that might not have otherwise. Refusing to change the treatment plan of a known suicidal patient because of a research study really is awful.
Super cute and well executed project.

But after imagining how this would work in practice, my loved ones sitting down to talk to a box and getting text responses some indefinite time later to recorded messages they might not even remember the contents of (I wouldn't), it seems comically sad. It makes me think of how unsatisfying it is to attempt any real convo over SMS.

Then again, I'm sure it's a supplement to the weekly or monthly video calls they're already having where yaya gets to see and hear their grandkids. But I can't shake the pathetic vision of yaya recording a 10min voice message and then, three days later, getting "school is good thx yaya!!".
There's no reason to suspect that we'll see two more 250+ crate loss accidents this year leading to results like your graph predicts.
Start with a single instruction, like SBNZ (substract and branch if not equal to zero), and build a modern operating system with it.
Lol, absolutely.

Austin may have been the right guy to start the company, but IMHO, he should've handed it off to someone with a background in education a long time ago.
This ship [0] went down offshore of Cornwall in 1641, with 60 men, 100,000 pounds of gold and 500,000 pieces-of-eight aboard. Cornwall is not known to be friendly to wrecks. And yet, nearly 400 years later, she's not been found. They say.

This view seems to completely ignore the difference structure of unions in the EU.

And unions didn’t win in the US? Have you looked into the auto industry unions at all? The certainly did win for a few decades and it basically broke the back of GM.
I am about to start with a company through the Fellowship program on Monday. There is a staffing agency that we are paid through. The pay isn't phenomenal, but it is a buck or two above a living wage for the state you reside in. If the company decides they like us and want to keep us on, then they reimburse Lambda for what they paid us during the Fellowship. We aren't locked into the Lambda pay rate if we are hired, and are encouraged to negotiate our offers. There is supposed to be an actual position open for hire in order for organizations to take advantage of the program, but obviously that could be exploited. I am cautiously optimistic, though.
How is it that I do `julia script.jl` all the time? Or by “inability” do you mean that it’s slow because of the startup time? If you need a utility that starts up instantly, create a sysimage.
The implication is that good developers don’t need bootcamps as much as potential product managers need them for crash courses on development fundamentals. I’ve lived this personally as an actual founder of a non profit dev bootcamp.
Milk production involves separating calves from their mothers on a yearly basis. Most are slaughtered shortly after, their stomach lining is taken as it contains an enzyme used for cheese production.

Personally, I am fine with it as long as no extra, unnecessary suffering is caused, but some activists may call it inherent animal abuse.
It's actually the other way around: capsaicin is non-polar, that's why it is hydrophobic but soluble in oil and fat.
I'm a long time ardour user so i'm wondering about that too.
Could anyone do a quick comparison please?
I'd agree but I have never seen someone that said "I did my own research" in this context who is not a nutjob. "I did my own research" in this context deeply implies that there is a conspiracy going on. This disease has been the primary focus of the whole world for the last 1.5 years, all data is publicly available, and is publicly interpreted by countless independent top experts in the field frequently. If you "did your own research" and believe things to be opposite of countless independent experts are saying, you probably believe in a conspiracy around all this - that is nutjob territory to me. If you are researching a very niche, understudied subject, sure. But in contexts like this, you probably won't hear the words "I did my own research" from people who know what they are saying.
Opera 3.62 and 12.14-12.16 are still great browsers and I still use them sometimes.
First reply and managed to screw it up!
Spyder is basically an RStudio clone for Python, but I never had a great experience using it. Not really sure why, somehow I just ended up using Jupyter because that's what my coworkers all used. When doing "solo" stuff, it doesn't matter because I dislike every interface so I'm never happy anyway...
Seems to me the $16k was BCG concerned because this person was a vulnerable demographic and they didn't want to be sued, not being spoken poorly of. I've never heard of something like that either way.

I'm a data scientist consultant (not at BCG), and while some things may be true, there's also the flip side, where some junior analyst with a fancy degree thinks they're the bees knees when in fact they don't know anything at all.

"I'm not good at excel" is kind of a red flag for a variety of other incompetencies. This article features multiple instances of him saying he wasn't as competent as he was marketed but also more competent than others on the team. I would guess the other side of the story was very different. Name dropping MIT a dozen times is a similar red flag.
Pre-pandemic policy for more efficient utilization of office space.

Reasoning: it's never the case that 100% of staff is in the office - there's always be someone on sick leave or vacation or working from home. So let's rent office for say ~90% (I don't know what exact number was) of employees and let them use places on first in-first served basis.

While I get why it's needed by it's still very annoying carrying all my stuff back and forth every morning and evening.
> The reason access-control-allow-origin cannot be '' when access-control-allow-credentials is set is to prevent developers taking the shortcut of adding a and then forgetting about it altogether - this behaviour forces developers to think about how their API is going to be consumed.

Instead developers take the shortcut of creating middleware that captures the Origin header in the request and mirrors it into the response, effectively creating the same insecure ruleset.
One of my recent projects was a robot using a LILYGO T-Display module running MicroPython. I'm going to use them in "Build a Drawbot" workshops at our local Makerspace. The previous version used an Arduno running TinyBasic. I think Python and Wifi capability will make it a little more accessible.

Create React App is a crime against computers. It's an absolute resource hog, which maybe is okay for Facebook engineers with $3000 MacBooks, but we can't give that much resources to free users. To use React on Replit you should use Vite. We were on HN just yesterday talking about it, it's an absolute delight: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26972400

If you really want to use CRA on Replit, you should buy the hacker plan for $7/month which also lets you boost select repls and it will then be very usable for you: https://blog.replit.com/boosts
My educational background is more towards EE (ECE, focused on control theory) but my work background is more towards software and IT. I've been working on embedded software for a decade or so. If anything, it seems like the embedded industry is getting bigger rather than smaller, like my role in the industry will be around for a lot longer than I'll want to be in it.

People get quite invested in their physical things, and I think that's going to translate in to ongoing software updates, and making interfaces between older things and new things (I'm currently working on an interface to old-school telephone gear, working in Rust). More things are being made with computers in them, those computers are getting more sophisticated, people are caring more about software quality and security. And, as a sibling post mentions there's always pressure to (re)engineer things to cost less or earn more money.

Sidetracking a bit, I think one of the best pieces of career advice is to be comfortable at the intersection of a couple different areas/fields. While it may be easy to find/train a developer or EE to some particular skill level (maybe not the best example given the closeness of these fields), it's much harder to get someone at that level in both fields. It sounds like you're already doing that by working as a developer but having an EE degree - you'll do well to stay sharp in both.
