One have to be reminded that you do not need webpack, TypeScript, React, ESLint et.al. to make a web app. For best platform/hardware support it's best to use the native components built inside the browser, like textarea, select-box, etc. If you use a popular component framework/library it's likely that it has only been tested on one or two platforms, and will be abandoned in a few years so it won't work on the latest gadgets.

If you want to make a web page or web app fast, with good performance, easy maintainability, small in size/bandwidth, and superb hardware support - go with "vanilla" web components. If you want to follow the latest fashion in web development and have a cool resume then pick a framework (but make sure it's not the most mainstream/enterpise - that's not as cool)

I dunno. If the hash is generated and displayed by the hardware on a separate LCD display (or a serial you attach) and maybe a bit of non-flashable code, that seems pretty good to me, especially that it's regularly spot checked in person. Something like that is far harder to fake and fool real people with successfully for an extended period, IMO.
"why is it moral that the people that do all the work have no control over their working lives?"

This is substantive reason for unions. Though people keep harping about a few dollars wages and health care. Companies love when the union debate is kept to wages and benefits.

Employees run the company and should control it.

It doesn't commit the exact same info though. This says "the client is aware of this scheme and doesn't reply, vs the client is unaware of the rfc. It's the true/false/none issue.

In a sane world, there would be auch shorter way to encode that, but http is a bad protocol so you can't nest/namespace things or whatever.

Bankrupted companies is not necessarily bad for society overall. Besides SpaceX, there was also Kistler in the running for COTS commercial cargo. They failed and were replaced by Orbital.

Also, you seem to be implying that cost plus contracts will allow much smaller companies since they won’t have to absorb as much risk, but in reality, it’s the big boys who win cost plus contracts. SpaceX was tiny when they won COTS/CRS (Elon wasn’t a billionaire and Tesla was looking more like a dead end novelty than the most valuable car company in the world).

Also, Iridium and Orbcomm and OneWeb all went bankrupt but all are still operating today. Bankruptcy doesn’t always mean the business disappears off the face of the planet, and even when it does, often their assets end up being used productively by others (that’s how SpaceX got their McGregor test site).
> they made Privacy their key differentiator

This feels more like a marketing campaign to associate Apple with privacy. From 2020 they have been mentioning it insistently, and while Apple has made steps towards it, they still make devices that deliberately include tracking functions, even if they make third parties disclose them.

If Apple was really serious about being a bastion for user privacy, they would make drastically different OSs and APIs.

I agree that NVC isn't best for all scenarios and it can feel unnatural, but I don't understand how it's not transparent. To me, I think telling someone about your feelings and needs requires a great deal of transparency and vulnerability. I see it as very directly conveying what the issue is, why it's an issue, and how one can help solve that issue.

One issue with "candid conversation" that NVC tries to address is that the language we use can often imply blame or thrust the onus of your emotions onto someone else, even when not intended. NVC provides a more standard framework for working out issues while reducing the likelihood that your intentions are misinterpreted.
Ok, that's a good example. I've just never seen that stuff make it past code review. Teams I've been on, development & deployment are either done by the same team, or they're done by two teams who sit next to each other. Reviewers are also very skeptical of larger changes.

I still don't see advantages to multi-repo here. Even within a single project, or single service, deployment is often not atomic. If you make a change to service X and deploy it, you end up with minimum two versions of service X in deployment until the deployment finishes rolling out.

So we have automated tests that cover that case... each service has to work correctly when combined with not only the repo HEAD, but also with the currently deployed versions (perhaps more than one! in the case I'm thinking of, it was only ever the two previous versions, but other teams had longer horizons) Testing against multiple versions is a bit more expensive, so it's only done as a pre-deployment check, rather than a pre-commit check. You cut a branch for deployment, and when one commit doesn't play nicely with previous versions of the service, you cherry-pick a commit to revert the faulty commit, and run the tests again.
Yes, it is much cheaper than training once employed; however, the company should view training employees in new technologies as something that gives the company a competitive advantage. Technology ages pretty quickly, and if you want to stay at the forefront of technology as a company, then it might be a good idea to encourage your employees to use some of their work time to invest in learning the new tools that will push the company forward. Yes, they might leave once they have "leveled-up"; however, one alternative is that they come to the company and never really grow beyond the skills you initially required but may no longer need.
We have fully generated open API for our backend and public API. I've used cypress to test API endpoints but this requires manual setup and lots of work to collect examples.

Agreed. Moreover, it's infuriating when people claim that 'technology' is responsible for changing the dynamics when they know (or should know) perfectly well that things like inequality and monopolies are caused by monetary policies which subsidize large capital-holders and thus give them an unfair advantage in the markets.

Also, to claim that 'the rich keep getting richer' has always been true is misleading, it's far worse today than ever before because our monetary system has never been so decoupled from the underlying economic processes of value creation. This means our system is more unfair than it has ever been before. There is almost no correlation between skill and success; on the other hand there is a significant correlation between cheating and success.

Even better when you consider that some pilots are not domiciled in their route's origin city and for some airlines get paid by blocks of time. I recall a friend talking about pilots that lived in lower-cost areas, commuted to LA for work, then flew SFO - LAX routes, and got paid for their time in-between flights in those cities. They made more money off the plane than on it.

What the author fails to comprehend is the base has phase shifted into economies of network effects while the superstructure still views them as "just larger industrial scale". This contradiction will resolve itself eventually. What the author fails to comprehend is the magnitude of this separation and the severity of the correction when it does occur.

There's more easily refuted points too. The figured titled "How it will really go" is an apologia for the current system. In the last twenty years we have seen real material losses for the majority of people. Access to healthcare, education, and housing has shrunk. To put it simply, we have first hand evidence that there is not a rising tide lifting all boats.

What he does get right, he doesn't correctly consider the consequences of. Privacy will continue to be eroded in order to optimize network-effect oriented businesses. People will be forced into this because the current economic incentives will not change. There simply isn't an environment for anything else. What he fails to consider all of the rewards for this aren't incentivized in the system and therefore are easily cast aside once privacy has been eliminated. They may exist as carrots now, but without systemic incentives for them to exist, they won't last. His new social contract is based on a bait and switch.

As a whole it comes off as completely out of touch with the material conditions of everyday people. On the other hand, it's his job not to understand.

I think this helped me appreciate the difficulty of being satisfied with the Collatz conjecture.
NVC is a very good tool for solving communication problems and I think it is definitely worth practicing. However, it is not always easy, as it requires that we identify and express our _feelings_ correctly.

In the example you described, there is a problem in that you are _not really_ saying a feeling. "I feel that our relationship is transactional..." is not a feeling. The rule being: when you start with "I feel like ..." then you are not naming a feeling. This is the most difficult part as we are not used to talking with actual feelings (I am certainly not). For the case your described, one option could be to state it like this: "(1) When you put so much pressure on me, (2) I feel discouraged/uncomfortable, (3) because I need work relationships that are more than purely transactional. (4) Would you mind trying to do X next time?". And then you have the four required steps of NVC :)

(I literally need to look at a list with words that are feelings to try to see which is the one that corresponds for the situation when it goes beyond happy, angry or sad.)

What cities have gbit upload speeds on a consumer plan?
Maybe part of the problem is in the first paragraph. Founders/VC types seem to think that being able to make money off of people's usage of your product is the same as "creating value" for those people.

To take an extreme example, if someone says I'll burn down your house if you don't pay me, is value created?

Ok and if an advertising based economy/culture creates a phony demand for something, and then people purchase that something, is value created?

He very much reminds me of Steve Jobs in this regard. Steve was actually a competent technician, if not really an engineer at the time of the founding of Apple, and he really cared deeply about the engineering. He understood the language of engineers and the tradeoffs in a design and I think it's the same with Elon. The fact they both ran completely separate very successful and innovative companies at the same time might be a coincidence, but kind of clinches it for me.

Interesting thought, though I have a natural hesitance towards recommending advisors (who might steer towards active management) or investment products, since my initial vision was to try to make the tool as unbiased and objective as possible, and more in keeping with some of the principles from the Bogleheads community.

They've verified that the Collatz conjecture holds for all numbers up to ~2^68, but that's precisely 0% of all the numbers that need to be checked.

But more importantly, the goal of (pure) mathematics isn't to declare truths. If you had a machine from God himself that outputted True or False for theorems you put in, that wouldn't demotivate (pure) mathematicians from doing the work they're doing. Understanding the reason things are the way they are (and being able to share those understandings) is the purpose of math. I'd be willing to wager that almost every mathematician would rather have a proof that Collatz holds for all numbers divisible by 17 rather than a definitive yes/no answer to whether it's true or not, because the former would lend much more illumination to the secrets behind the problem, and would lead to new, more interesting mathematical methods and disciplines. The latter would be a fun fact to share at parties.
I didn't know that there were no laws requiring companies to act in the interest of shareholders, I guess that's a common myth.

It still seems pretty evident that the power structure at larger companies necessitates that people do act in the interest of investors - as doing so is in their own best interest. I'm no expect and I'm sure more educated people could argue both sides of that though. In the end, I think the behavior of companies that exist is at the very least enough to suggest that the organization of companies in capitalism motivates profit above all else - to the point where horrible acts are committed frequently and are expected from larger corporations
You're going to get an emotional response whether you acknowledge it or not, and often times, such miscomunication results in anger/escalation of the misunderstanding. "You're rude" vs "I feel like what you said to me was rude" will elicit different responses; the former is likely to trigger self-defense or the listener taking offense, whereas the latter is a statement of opinion that does not escalate.

Non-violent communication is how diplomacy gets done, as the stakes are often very high.
Ask HN: Thoughts on Async in Embedded?
In the Rust OSS embedded community, Async is a popular approach, most notably with Embassy: https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy

In embedded, it's common to use interrupts, DMA, and leverage multiple cores to handle concurrent events without blocking the main loop. These are traditionally handled with deliberate register writes. Eg send a command to a peripheral to start a task. Continue running the program. When the task is complete, an interrupt fires, and code to handle the completion is immediately run.

Async/Await functionality is used to abstract over these processes, using Futures. In my own programs, the abstraction doesn't provide enough value over natively handling interrupts, and DMA, to be worth the added complexity and cognitive overhead. Eg, framework code you need to account for, and coloring issues, which I'd argue still apply to Rust.

I'm deliberately asking here, to get an outside perspective from the Rust community (They love async and RTIC), and the more general embedded community (Rust is foreign, and new patterns are viewed with caution). Of note, RTOS is popular in C embedded, which perhaps handles some of the same abstraction issues handled by Async and RTIC in rust.

It's very possible. You probably won't see how it's possible until you've been to therapy. But you should 100% seek therapy. Your first and last paragraphs imply being a success at life means having children, which points to self-worth issues that HN commenters aren't qualified to address.

As a latino, I can tell you what type of racism I have faced in the east coast, for example:
- While chatting on the phone with a friend in Spanish, I get people screaming at me: "Speak English! This is America, go back to your country!!. ......"
- "Chinga tu madre!! Mexican!" (I'm not Mexican)
- "We dont speak Spanish here, sorry..." even tho I can communicate perfectly well in English.
and many more, in my personal experience, the west coast is way better regarding racism, I have Pakistani friends who have had a pretty rough time living in Oklahoma.
I agree that racism is being using as a political weapon, and all of that, but is truly more common in some places.
If you are a white European, you will have a hard time seeing racism, compared with people who are not white.

I'm not convinced even that's true. We eat a lot of beef. If we didn't, our beef producers would export a lot more, and there'd be less global demand for beef from Brazil. The only way that's not true is if Brazilian exports are significantly cheaper than American, but as the above poster mentioned, American beef producers are pretty efficient.
