I don't think it is about forcing others to their own way of thinking. Rather, I think it is about having a community that works according to one's own vision of the good life.

Some people want to live in Bohemia; some people want to live in vibrant cities; some people want to live in places where all the lawns are nicely manicured and Billy Bob down the street can't have his car up on blocks and Jennifer next door can't have a stream of cars showing up for her private pilates class.

The world is filled with many different kinds of people, with many different visions of the good life. Just because one particular vision doesn't match mine doesn't mean it should be banned or destroyed, or that they are terrible people.
Work on the soft skills, and those mentioned in the title, and move into product management.
Yes, exactly!

And the idea is, _that's_ how you avoid gimbal lock. It's that implementation of multiplying, and overwriting, which can be done with any system that describes and applies rotation, including Euler angles, rotation matrices, etc.
Sort of unrelated, but Rust doesn't make breaking changes. The language is fully backwards compatible.

... Or, I'll just stay on version 88 for a while.
Certainly not the sole reason, but the mix of language features puts it into a weird spot:
You have great control over memory layout and can easily embed assembler, which would be perfect for performance sensitive software like games. Yet "default" D comes with a garbage collector and - more importantly - language features that require said GC.

If you want to go the noGC route, you have to refrain from using certain language constructs, which puts you in a similar spot as with C++...

And if you actually want a GC, you might find the simple linear allocator of D to be lacking...

D is a very cool language, but it is also a lot like QTified C++... Which, well, already exists...

NVIDIA doesn't give a crap about it's driver stack being open source. In fact, they actively want it to be not open. They refuse to even release signed firmware so the community can build an independent driver.

Intel's stack is already pretty open on Linux.

There's such clause in TOS and I think that's how it worked, unlike Twitter which locked out every account when they added the TOS clause for needing to be over 13 when the account was created.
How is that a good feature? Just because something is not commonly used it stops being good? When most software was proprietary and FLOSS was nascent, MS argued that FLOSS was bad, was that right?

Conversely, just because something is used more, does that get the automatic stamp of approval? More than 2 Billion people use Facebook every month, do you consider FB to be more likely to be good for someone? What kind of messed up logic is that?

It's probably a mis-translation from German. "Knack" is a german word that describes a specific sound - I'm not sure there is a precise English translation. The dictionary offers "click" or "snap" as a translation, "crack" would be another similar word.

I assume that in this case "Knack" refers to the bite of the chocolate and describes a hard/brittle chocolate.
I have a few critical system integration scripts written in Perl.

I've felt for a while that silent failure is a serious possibility when Linux distributions change bundled Perl versions with little or no discussion.

Travel will also likely fundamentally change.

I suspect it will be another few years before the restrictions settle and find their level, and probably the same again before people start to relax and want to travel internationally to the same degree in the same numbers.

By which time we will have structural changes in the travel and airlines industries.

Sad. I preferred the old world :-(

It's easy to fall into a trap of thinking negatively of everyone on the other side. Particularly when it's hard to even have a conversation like this one.

The original statement while likely not humble bragging or what not, does at least immediately announce what side you're on. If a conservative or libertarian did the same, they'd probably be chastised.
Glad to hear you are solid! I've had some friends who got 'old' unrealistically quickly and so I feel the need to push back a bit when I see posts that remind me.

I'm with you regarding the social space though. I don't understand why entertainment appears to consistently trend toward requiring less conscious thought.

The way I see it we've gone from Physical Experience > Word of Mouth / Live Physical Performance > Books / Woodcuts > Newspapers / Pamphlets / Pulp Novels > Radio > Television > Modern Social Media. To be complete, I'd add a branch from Newspapers... > Telegraphy > Telephony > Usenet / BBS > Non-Walled Garden Internet but that is another story and not the mainstream.

The early steps all exhibit ?clear? trade-offs (more reliable information storage and dissemination at the expense of shallower engagement with the information being transferred), but the later stages appear to be reaching the limit of what we can consciously process.

I feel that at some point soon (if not already), the volume of information that can be received will outstrip conscious processing ability. This has a massively negative side effect of limiting human agency which seriously disturbs me.

I don't think the blame is entirely on social media however and because of reasons stated above, suspect the current state of affairs has been brewing at least as long as network television has existed. Possibly into the preceding era of disposable print. Thus, I don't put the problem into a 'kids these days' frame but more of a 'everyone I have known throughout my life' frame.

Some people are energized by other people. Some people are drained by other people. The workplace shouldn't discriminate against either group.
Most projects use C because there was zero consideration for anything else. No embedded team sits down at the beginning of the project and says "should we use lisp?". It's just C. Or maybe "C, but use a C++ compiler with less UB".

Adaxa Technologies | Lisp/Clojure Software Engineer | REMOTE | Full-time

Adaxa Technologies creates software that powers dental insurance plans for over 4 million members across 8 states. We've grown from just 1 state to 8 in the 10 years I've been here and are still growing fast.

As an Lisp/Clojure Software Engineer, you will design, create, and maintain software that interfaces with clearinghouses, Medicaid agencies, and plan sponsors. As part of a small team, using technologies such as Clojure, Lisp, and MarkLogic, you will be responsible for the accuracy of our most critical data and solve difficult engineering problems in a distributed system with terabytes of data while ensuring performance and scalability. This is a very data-focused software engineering role - heavy emphasis on data integrity and performance, not user interfaces.

Apply by sending an email to me (Director of Software Development): elavigne at adaxatech dot com. Include "HN job posting" in the subject and include both your resume and a code sample for us to review. Code sample can be in any language to give us an idea of your programming ability.
Do you have data to back your conclusion up?

I am a father of four (though they're here less now that they're leaving the nest), happily married, active in a committed church community and love outdoor things like water skiing, flying planes, snow skiing, biking, etc. I build things like legos, stand up paddle boards, Ford ranger engines, and the 1000 ft addition we added to our home. I enjoy my work--sometimes I love it even, and other days I'm ready to rage quit, because I'm one of those difficult to manage dramatic people--it is hardly my whole life though.

I have spent nearly 10 years (2 different gigs) of my 30 working years working from a home office. In both instances, it was awesome at first, and then I came to hate it. I totally concur with the GP. I'm just not as productive at home. I know that most of us in all 3 teams where we've done some remote work are generally more productive when gathered. No amount of technology solutions has improved that.

My suspicion is that there are other factors at play here. In my case, I've worked in companies where the software development components of the company are relatively small (anywhere from 2 up to at most 18 people). My commutes have all been (relatively) short (15 minutes or less). I've always had flexible schedule available to me--come go when you need, get the work done. And at times, I do actually choose to sequester myself at home to write a mountain of code that just needs a mountain of direct writing.

I'm curious if perhaps it's not so much work at home, as it is some degree of autonomy that needs to be given to people to manage their own work load. That kind of autonomy tends to go down as company size goes up. If corporate overhead burns up a lot of ones time, then it may indeed be that people feel they are getting more creative work down at home.

What I'd like to see is more flexibility, less middle management (because I think this is the real source of most of these issues) and more of the "teach the employees correct principles and allow them to govern themselves" gestalt.
Assuming I hadn't failed at basic maths, the absolute max power consumption for RP2040 (implementing a media player) is 130mW, but the average power consumption in a more typical scenario would be 14mA at 48MHz.
Can you blame them for not wanting you to browse their website? Using noscript is probably a pretty decent litmus test for non- or anti-consumerist values, which, in turn, implies being a low-value audience for advertising. Why waste any more bandwidth and server resources than you have to on someone who would be, best case scenario, negatively profitable?
The "Forwarded" note helps identify misinformation. If there's a message that says "2 Muslims came to my house yesterday, stole my baby, and ate her" and it comes from your friend you might actually believe it. If it says "Forwarded" you have a better signal that it's fake.
I still create scripts that include bits like

`perl -pe 's/foo/bar/g'`

Is there anything else present on most machines that offers as much regex-fu as perl?
This exists already. There's a 'downlink' client hint in Chromium that can inform the server what bandwidth the user has available[1]. The server can then use that information to tailor what it delivers to the browser. It wouldn't be that hard to add a dropdown or a dialogue to let the user set the value manually.

There's also a less fine-grained "save-data' hint that just asks for a smaller download[2].

Very few websites bother to use these features.

If everyone has UBI, then people still have some money with which to pay rent (or at least pay a portion of the rent). That makes it much less likely that you need an eviction moratorium, and lessens the impact of having one.

And of course the assumption "if everyone has UBI, then everyone has more money" isn't right, since UBI as "proposed" my comment would replace other safety nets like unemployment benefits. Many people would get basically the same, just with less bureaucratic overhead. And to pay for the rest of UBI you wouldn't just print money but instead raise taxes, so you would expect the money of someone earning median income to not really change at all (depending on the exact tax scheme).

Most people nowadays don't even remember their own phone number, let alone can remember two 4-5 digit numbers for their location. If I'd take 100 peoples to test what combination they can remember easier, I bet they have a harder time remembering 5.2345 + 6.2342 than dog.fridge.coffee.

I've never worked from home until recently and now I find it very isolating. I feel like a device a tool not a person who has coworker friends I only interact via emojis towards usernames. There's no flow to the day it's quite compartmentalized.

Sure the commute short which is great but my small home has lost a good part of space what was formerly not an office. I like the separation of work from home even if it involves a commute. It's great sometimes but not all the time.

Not really, theme is currently only allowed to alter css variables(basically colors). There is a special type addon that do allow to alter the browser theme directly (behave like userChrome.css).

That's....exactly what the HOA does though in this case - it vets said companies and pays them, through the HOA dues paid by Homeowners. Homeowners typically elect folk(s) to the Board who then make those decisions. That person usually lives in the neighborhood (at least in HOA's I'm familiar with) so they've got a vested interest in keeping things 'their best'

It's like a mini government, for the neighborhood. Then they contract out work that needs to be done to care for the things they cover (like the common property/green areas, pools, etc.), review/revise rules as times change, resolve HOA-rule-related disputes, etc.
Before the pandemic I did a lot of WFH, looking after my chronically ill partner. I basically got my face-to-face load out the way on a Monday, which was Meeting Day.
Why not the other way around? What's the point of using a dual core 32bit with hundreds of K of ram for, let's say, a simple automated irrigation controller? There are applications for both.
I just miss being able to meet, pair, collaborate and mentor lag free with the full presence of in person communication. I find zoom really exhausting.

One of the things I realized during the pandemic was that the ability to "not participate in society," or more specifically, the option to choose when and how you participate in society, is amazing and valuable. Most of us don't have this option. We have to work in a stupid office or behind the counter at some restaurant and we have to deal with assholes on the road, and we have to rely on disagreeable people to do stuff we can't do ourselves, and it all boils down to these little forced-interactions with people all day every day, just to live. Yuck! I'm blessed to have a computer job that can be done from home, and because of that, this past year has been the best year of my life, because it became acceptable to simply opt-out of all this crap. I realize not everyone had this option, and I truly feel humble and grateful that I have. One of the things I'm looking forward to most in retirement is having the financial independence to just yeet myself off to the woods and live as a hermit, never having to deal with society again, unless it's on my own terms.
