It would be https://quarkus.io for me

1. The low memory footprint.

2. Hot reloading (in dev mode) is awesome.

3. Plenty of modules. (https://code.quarkus.io)

4. Compile-time wiring, (unlike Spring's runtime wiring).

5. Fast startup (Kubectl deploy restart comes out in less than a sec).

6. Qute template engine is really nice, (Yes we use template engines to render UI).

7. 'Sponsored by Redhat' is icing on the cake. (Make it easy to convince senior mgmnt)

8. Dev-ui,

9. Shallow stack traces (Compared to Spring's)

10. Sane standard api's

etc. all deserve a praise and makes development a walk in the park. Our devs couldn't be happier with choosing Quarkus as go-to framework for all our new projects.
I find the naming of "Laravel Forge" a bit unfortunate. When I read code like "use App\Transporter\Forge\ForgeRequest", one of two things come to mind:

- "what's a Forge? Is this a fancy name for the Factory pattern?"

- "are they forging (as in forgery) requests here? Or further on, 'services.forge.token' - sounds strange?!"
Props for Canada for caring about this issue, other places wouldn't give two craps about what happened in the past. On the other hand this looks like a festering wound that will never heal and will plague Canadian society endlessly, including being exploited by authoritarian communist dictatorships like China.

I wonder if there's anything we can do to, in a way or the other, to leave the past in the past. Honestly I think it will be forever suffered by people who never lived throught that, exploited for financial and political gain, and punished upon the ones who never enforced nor supported. Much like US slavery, despite the 750k dead on the war to end slavery.
Ah the nostalgia. I loved BeOS!
I fasted for 3 weeks once (water only) after I broke my jaw. It was strange going back to eating actual food...
That's a good way of putting it.
Since OP is referring to a traditional full english with a traditional pint, I assume it would be a bitter or real ale with ~3-4% ABV, so the hydration may also outweigh the diuretic effect (although it’s obviously not the ideal remedy in that regard).
So we need to do more than one thing, this helps us choose one thing and focus on it, then when we want to do something else, we do more than one thing again, and choose another one thing to focus on.

Very wise. It gives us a specific order of doing things. Many things, then one thing, then many things, then one thing. I was kinda doing the opposite.

> I'm not sure how you can say that you can fire a gun safely when you're that inaccurate,

Isn't "be aware of what's behind your target" one of the rules of gun safety?
> A problem cannot be fixed until everyone agrees there is a problem (see race relations in the US and climate change), so the more people who can be educated on what went on the better, because then we have a chance starting to heal (which will take generations).

There will not be a “fix” because a “fix” for the victims or descendants of victims would require massive wealth transfers, mostly from people who were not alive or making decisions at the time. And that is not going to be politically popular.
Facebook have repeatedly shown that their official "word" is pretty well as good as doodoo, so I'm surprised anyone would think they would hold themselves to a "promise" over their bottom-line.

It's likely that, seeking to lessen their exposure to political attention of a sort they don't like, of the kind critical to their business/way of making money, Facebook simply over-promises with the expectation that the next thing that catches attention will divert attention away from them and the idea of them actually following though on those promises.

I'm on the opposite end of experience than you and find a drone is often unpredictable in its flight. I just got a small (DJI Mini 2) drone in March and have been learning and flying as a recreational flyer as often as weather and time permits. According to the logs I have flown a mere 8 hours and 40 odd miles over 40 some flights. This small drone is easy to move quickly in nearly all directions while having 4 swiftly rotating blades that do not care what they touch and with no easy way to avoid. Wind gusts over 20 mph (easy to find over even just 75ft) can cause the craft to struggle to control, much less move in the direction intended.

Not to mention while I paid the smart sum of $600 for my kit (a high bar for many to spend on getting started in a hobby), DJI now has an even more approachable model at $299. Making the ability to get into the hobby more accessible is great, but it does come with a greater risk of even well-intentioned but under-educated people (or just knuckleheads) sending a drone up for a quick flight and smashing into someone/something without even reading the manual.

I'm a pretty cautious guy. I took a MSF course before buying a motorcycle, wear a helmet and gear, etc. I was very careful on my first few flights with my drone, but even then managed to crash into a stationary bird house. All this to say I am happy to take a simple test to prove to myself, much less those around me, that I know what the heck I'm doing and to keep myself and others safe because these things are very different from model aircraft and most consumer electronics that include a camera and gyroscopes. :)
> Asserting to 50% of the population that they are, by nature, literal rapists

That’s not the assertion here at all. The assertion is that men are more likely to commit rape, and that women have a _valid_ fear of this happening because of purely biological phenomena.

Calling a man a rapist, and telling him he is more likely to commit rape than a female is, are two completely different things. The healthy society I was referring to does not find anyone guilty of a crime they never committed, but acknowledges the fact that certain crimes are committed more often because of biological reasons.

This proves Google's consumer privacy strategy is all smoke and show. It should come to no ones surprise they choose to follow the money (ads). Apple continues to improve privacy on Safari with every major update and Google is still sitting on the sidelines.

Why is it reasonable for Facebook to promote content it hasn't classified?
As m-commerce takes the world contactless, should agencies follow suit?
Comms to rovers etc use store-and-forward protocols with pre-planning of when which node will be able to see which other node. (E.g. it's calculated when which dish on earth can send a signal that will be seen by a probe around e.g. Mars, and then when the probe can downlink to a rover on the surface, and when the replies can be transmitted)

Look into "Delay-tolerant networking" for more details.
> Javascript JITs are really good, you (likely) aren't going to see major performance improvements by dropping into WASM.

A javascript JIT is never going to be able to compete with codegen from a low-level statically typed language running through an optimizing compiler. I mean, this very article contains the perfect example: by manually inlining the comparison function they got huge performance gains from a sorting function. That is child’s play for GCC or LLVM (it’s the whole point of std::sort in C++).
Ask HN: Where to find short term remote development contracts
Does anyone know of good locations to find short-term (3 - 4 month) contracts for web developers (PHP/but happy to learn other languages)?

I've been working as a Product Manager / Scrum Master / Project Manager for the past 5 years after transitioning from a developer role.

I always gravitated towards the "team lead" (basic organisation/planning) role within the teams I worked with. However after taking a step away from being in the team to outside it I've never really enjoyed my work. So, I decided to take a break and do something different before trying to find another opportunity where I could work in the team again.

Unfortunately, despite things looking promising, I'm now not going to be able to travel to Vietnam as I'd planned to until January (covid). So, I'm looking for a short term role in the meantime.

I haven't written any code for the past few years (I found it made it harder for me to give the team space to find solutions) but have been brushing up with Laravel and python tutorials for the past few weeks.

I can find lots of 12 month contracts for senior developers, but nothing short-term for junior or mid-level roles. Does such a thing even exist?

Having not had my hands/mind the game for so long I don't feel confident looking (or applying for) the roles I'm seeing. I could probably find another hands-off project manager role but I really want to be working within a team again as an individual contributor with my own tasks, responsibilities and things I can accomplish myself. Preferably I'd also like to be working on established products, having worked in e-commerce agencies I definitely prefer helping build a product to setting up magento instances.
Starlink has lateral uplink/downlink lasers, but yes that would be a complicated solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
Ugh, such a good movie... If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and go see it.
It sure sounds wild when strawmanned like this. Now "the Chinese will use any opportunity to reduce cohesion in western society, in particular by poring gas into culture war fire" is uncharitable, probably wrong, but plausible.
On the contrary, we got a number of improvements for novel workloads by first inventing new things we expected computers to need to do all the time (e.g. encryption-at-rest, signature validation), and then giving the ISA special-purpose accelerator ISA ops for those same operations.

> Nobody seems to be building a higher IPC CPU with 2x transistors

I mean, there are designs like this, but they run into problems of cache invalidation and internal bus contention.

The way to get around this is to enforce rules about how much can be shared between cores, i.e. make the NUMA cores not present a UMA abstraction to the developer but rather be truly NUMA, with each core having its own partition of main memory.

But then you lose backward compatibility with... basically everything. (You could run Erlang pretty well, but that’s basically it.)
...then what do you want?

What is the "it"? A society problem or a company problem? I don't think AI is designed to fix society problems. They are designed to make more money for the company, even with the cost of the society.

> I don't exactly understand the mechanics, but it seems pretty widely accepted that the polarization of media outlets and the rejection of journalistic ethics are a consequence of the online advertising business model

I don't know that this is true, nor widely accepted. I think it'd be accurate to say that the decline in general _quality_ of journalism is downstream of the dynamics you describe. But there are ways to be click-driven beyond building closed-loop narrative worlds for your readers. The obvious example is sensationalism and disproportionate emphasis on catastrophizing negative news for your readers, and this is entirely possible without being partisan. If anything, committing to a dishonest narrative view of the world cuts off half of your potential pearl-clutching: if the New York Times were breathlessly writing about the dangers of critical race theory the way Fox does, they would get _more_ clicks, not less.

Subscriptions work the opposite way here. Most people don't care about (or aren't capable of?) being informed, and subscriptions to the correct news source serves roughly the same function as choosing a church to hear your Sunday sermon at and make a part of your identity.

As far as I can tell, it fits the evidence much more cleanly to model journalism's narrative/polemical turn as downstream of the broader increase in polarization in society in general. The NYT spins alternative-fact fantasies not because of the economics of ad-based serving, but because of the characteristics of contemporary consumer demand.
Then hiding it when it's on Earth could make sense, actually attacking Hubble is much more complicated that anything on earth, given that you can actually put your hands on it, connecting through a JTAG and understanding what's wrong (besides spying).
Themarkup.org sure has a lot of anti fb post on HN. I agree with them, but I sense an agenda.
I love this, a lot:

> Conclusions: Parachute use did not reduce death or major traumatic injury when jumping from aircraft in the first randomized evaluation of this intervention. However, the trial was only able to enroll participants on small stationary aircraft on the ground, suggesting cautious extrapolation to high altitude jumps. When beliefs regarding the effectiveness of an intervention exist in the community, randomized trials might selectively enroll individuals with a lower perceived likelihood of benefit, thus diminishing the applicability of the results to clinical practice.
if you really care about backlash, just measure it and then add a correction in your motor controller.

Another way to do this is to always move back to endstop zero, and only move forward. THis is very limiting.

The biggest problem I had was all my PLA prints melted in the direct sun!
I'd vote for you.

The Indian Act is a truly messed up document with all these clauses that ultimately remove status from people. I'd be incredibly happy if they removed it, provided it was replaced with something designed by Indigenous people for Indigenous people.

I'm from Saskatchewan where an almost unbelievable number of people believe Indigenous people pay no taxes. That's not true at all but that sure fuels a lot of racism. Under the Indian Act, a person with status does not pay federal income tax on any money they earn on reserve. Some reserves have almost no opportunity so it ends up being a hollow benefit. I figure we have to either teach non-Indigenous people how the Indian Act really works, replace it entirely, build strong economies on reserves or extend the tax free status to any employment in Canada.

I love the idea of integrating Indigenous culture and health practices into our system and making them available for everyone. The First Nations University of Canada is a start. Sadly, if you watch the press conference in an hour, the Chief of the Cowessess First Nation (Cadmus Delorme) graduated from FNUniv, was heavily involved in their students association, hosted Prince Charles and Camilla when they were here a decade ago and then worked in Student Recruitment. It is a wonderful place...

I'd also like to see a more interesting path for Indigenous kids who are being released from the criminal justice system. In my city, when kids are released, one of the biggest programs teaches them how to be short order cooks and dishwashers. That's fine, but it ignores that some of these kids are absolutely brilliant and can do so much more. We could have art based programs, tech based programs, teach them OSCP or any of a wide variety of possibilities. But it's pretty hard on a kid to go from making $1,000 a day selling drugs to $12 an hour slanging french fries. I think if our system acknowledged their talent and potential the world would only get a little better.

I'd also love if they expanded Gladue factors in criminal justice sentencing, as well as started using more traditional Indigenous forms of restorative justice. Sentencing circles for example are not 'going easy' on crime. They're hard on crime but in a way that's distinctly Indigenous and that fits in with their entire culture, religion and belief system.

On a more personal level, I wish that everyone in Canada was as open about referring to colonialists as their forefathers as you are. Right away, just that small bit of personal responsibility could change the tone of dialogue.

And finally, honestly friend, your reparations idea will be unpopular, but you are 100% correct. It's necessary...
Wondering how is this related to vitiligo [a condition in which the pigment is lost from areas of the skin, causing whitish patches, often with no clear cause.]

None of those things are equivalent to each other. In particular, the difference between complete free speech and a lassez-faire economy or anarchism is so massive as to not be comparable.
In case someone wonders, this does retain the repeated "+" to indicate call depth: "The first character of PS4 is replicated multiple times, as necessary, to indicate multiple levels of indirection." -- this is an important feature when working on large-ish (1-10+k LoC) scripts, which end up having very deep call stacks and a flat trace output would be completely inscrutable.
> outright stalling web innovation with Safari

Not adopting technologies at the rate of the market leader who is pushing for more and more control over the web might be "stalling web innovation" but the alternative universe is one where Chrome has no meaningful check against its hegemony of the web and can freely create new technology in support of Google's mission to harvest private information and serve advertisements to its users.

> Sideloading in this case is eliminating choice

There is nothing on MacOS that is preventing installing and running arbitrary code on your machine. Elevation of privileges is required for some of that code, but it is there for those that need or want it and a sane default exists for everyone else. This is the case with every modern operating system, including free ones.
But bLoCkChAiN!!
We can demand companies do whatever we, as a society, deem important to do.

If their scale and cost structure makes complying with that demand "impossible" then it's completely reasonably to propose that it's their scale and business model that's the problem, not the nature of the demand.
No-ad services are no longer possible. The very fact that you are willing to pay for a service signals advertisers that you have purchasing power. The more you pay to keep ads out, the more advertisers will pay to put them back in. This will only get worse until some sort of socioeconomic paradigm shift takes place.
Wow I just discovered LSH couple of hours ago, before opening HN... Just to see it being covered here
This is an "old" thread now, but something that stands out to me here is how damaging things like this must be for Notion's ability and opportunities to recruit developers.

I interviewed with them years ago after sharing a lot of feedback and bug reports in their early years. I was PUMPED about this space and really wanted to help make something like Notion awesome. I wanted it to work for me, I wanted it to work for others, and I knew there would be tons to learn in the space. But my impression of Notion (not their devs specifically) left me feeling like it wouldn't happen there, and I just abandoned the process. This happened with Slite, too.

But it's stuff like this which lead me to believe I shouldn't work on those teams. As a dev, I probably can't fix that the company overwhelmingly doesn't care enough about making an important feature work.

I noticed a keen interest in my ideas about which features me or my team needed, or how existing features could expand to meet our needs, but not much interest in fixing bugs or limitations. Now we're here, and the export feature doesn't work while the company continues to move forward with other things.

I can't help but think this sort of outward appearance has a negative affect on how easily they can hire, and who they can hire. This sort of things is a nail in the coffin for me - I don't want to work somewhere where we deploy day after day after day knowing that things are effectively broken.
That's definitely not happening (police cutting their own budget).

This back and forth is a little funny because I think we're both on the same page I think except for the procedural implications of the word "they" and which contexts its use may be considered over-broad. I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that aspect, but I appreciate the conversation.
I did not criticise Thiel at all, he did well. That said he did have the ability to capture the entire leap from option pennies into mature trading stock at many many dollars, and roll that over a few times.
Good project managers turn chaos into clarity.
If moderating their content is necessary to maintain a healthy platform (in terms that our society determines), then their inability to moderate that content means they are too big and need to be cut down to a manageable size.

What real good has Facebook done? Even the few examples that can be mustered don't compete with the ongoing damage it does to our society. If they can't handle these problems at this scale (global X-billion users scale) then they should scale down.
For some functions speed-up from inlining and run-time specialization via JIT outweigh the benefit of native code speed.

There's similarly a cost in crossing JS<>WASM boundary, so WASM doesn't help for speeding up small functions and can't make DOM-heavy code faster.
I just can’t believe that decent people are still working for this company and not resigning in protest. Is there any doubt that their reckless drive towards anything that increases user engagement has directly resulted in the polarized societies we see everywhere today?
The good bit is author of the preprint apparently knew this reason the same day he posted his draft, but the draft doesn't mention it.
Because Google forces phone manufacturers to install Google Play store on every device manufactured.

Otherwise, Google threatens manufacturers out of the Android ecosystem, and will not allow them to install Gmail, Google, etc apps.

So, there is no competition at all. Google is a monopoly.

Unbeknownst to me, veterinarians are indeed in the top 11 job types at risk for suicide.

Teachers are not, however. Why do veterinarians and police kill themselves more than teachers do?

Stress like you mentioned, yes, but the psychology research seems to point to suicide as a poor coping skill, so it could be argued that a failure in supporting employees in building their coping skills is a contributing factor.
That's one of them. Have you ever read about sexual assault babies?
I don't fully agree, as a more quiet person I don't feel excluded... Sometimes listening in to a conversation is enough, and in my experience people tend to group together such that everyone ends up chiming in their opinion...
You posted a Twitter link to one caricature cartoon in an unnamed paper.

It is dishonest to say you've "demonstrated" that anything happened "regularly."

And it is dishonest to conflate the entirety of the time elapsed - it's indisputably clear who has the better historical reputation.

And it is dishonest to suggest that a false allegation of X is moral justification to begin doing X.
