Personally I'd start with Corporate Confidential by Susan Dephillips. Skip the first chapter but pay attention to the rest. You aren't in academia anymore and this will give you some hints as to what's expected of you as your career progresses.

(As an aside, people here will suggest the other Corporate Confidential by Cynthia Shapiro but I do not recommend it. It does contain some nuggets of valid and useful information but a lot of it is presented in an excessively cynical and lurid way designed to appeal to the conspiracy theorist, something there's no shortage of on HN, or aren't applicable to the software profession. For example, Secret 29 "Your Values Are On Your Desk" particularly made me roll my eyes; nobody gives a hoot what's on your desk unless it's growing mold and the "...many internal promotions fail within the first year and are either fired or demoted..." also elicited a snort. Unless you're unlucky enough to be starting your career in a particularly toxic work environment, people are not going to be out to get you to that degree.)

If you haven't read DeMarco and Lister's Peopleware, that would also be an excellent choice.

There is no program called Office.exe. Microsoft Office is not a single business product; it is a suite of products.
Again, I think you are making the same mistake in your first sentence. 1000W does not mean 1kwh or one unit of electricity. It is a measure of instantaneous (or maximum instantaneous, there’s no way your pc regularly runs at 1KW unless you’re mining) power consumption, the “now” voltage times the “now” amperage (times the power factor… maybe).

For storage, none of that matters. What you need to look at is the cheapest total capacity in kWh after accounting for conversion losses at your median discharge rate. Let’s say your median consumption is 450W, then you see the efficiency of your inverter with 12V vs 48V input to produce a sustained 220V at 450W. Maybe it’s the same efficiency for both 12 and 48v or maybe one is 85% and the other is 80% so you need to multiply the capacity by that amount to get capacity after inverter conversion losses to account for the only difference between the two setups.

My parents, in their late 60s and the opposite of tech savvy, have an iCloud storage subscription. The default 5 gigabyte is laughable small.
I think stateless is good but don't forget that the state is just in another place, another stateful "gear" in your machine. And that, as you said, has to be treated like the pet it is.

ok but they all have ideas and they are closer to the money, so of course they want to sell the idea of no code (which likely means theyll just farm out actual code to india)

i see as an attempt by a small co tigent of coders to sell some tranches of a SaaS as cheap as possible.
In principle slowing down the return of carbon back to the cycle is helpful, even if it isn’t a permanent solution. In many ways this is exactly what trees are; a way to convert a ton or so of fast cycle carbon into wood that will retain it for a century or so.

Of course, the numbers matter. I can’t speak to Biochar, since it might not hold onto the carbon long enough.

To me, most shortcuts gain nothing by being on mouse rather than the keyboard (which, of course, has much more room). However, when a shortcut modifies a mouse action or otherwise comes into scope while mousing—that is when you get useful leverage.

Here are the best uses I've put extra mouse buttons to:

1. Double-click. Great for selecting word-at-a-time and really relieves the RSI. If you double-click the double-click button, it turns into triple-click, which selects paragraph-at-a-time.

2. Close window. I live the "window closing lifestyle". If I'm not slamming a browser tab, I'm closing an editor or Finder window—which I often opened by mousing to a link, icon, or existing window a split second before. In fact, I can get quite a furious window-closing hurricane going, targeting window after window, focusing each with a click and then hitting the close-window mouse button. It's a great way to clean up after finishing a task.

3. Option-click. I use this almost exclusively for clicking on a different application and hiding the previous one, a standard Mac behavior that becomes smoother by being one-handed. It also activates rectangular text selection in BBEdit, as a bonus.

4. Exposé/Mission Control. Hold a button, have all your windows flatten out, then mouse to one to bring it to the fore. I have several quicker ways of unearthing windows, but this is a nice fallback when all else fails.

Those are the big 4. I have extra buttons I've been auditioning for some other bindings like Open In New Window and Back, but what I really wish for are...

5. Grab-scroll. I had this with the old ADB Kensington Thinking Mouse driver. Hold down a mouse button, yank on some scrollable content, and the content would follow your mouse pointer, just like today's 2-finger trackpad gesture. If anybody knows how to set this up today, I'd be grateful to hear it!

6. Drag window. It seems like we're all looking for faster ways to arrange windows these days: tiling managers, grid snapping, hotkeys bound to specific positions. In my perfect world, I could drag a window anywhere I pleased but without the expensive targeting of the small draggable region first. If I could place my pointer just vaguely over a window, hold a certain mouse button, and drag the window thereby, I'd be thrilled. I've never managed to set this one up but would love to hear ideas.

Funny enough—and maybe this is just an artifact of Mac software design—I've never found so-called "right click" profitable enough to actually earn it a button. :-)

I was around 12 years old, so not super well :) But oddly I ended up working on text entry after graduating from college, working on a system called Dasher.

I type qwerty around 130wpm, so I appreciate the arcade skills. I'd love to get into stenography but it seems like the amount of memorizing involved is akin to learning a new foreign language, too much to learn as a hobby.
I'm having a hard time parsing whether this kind of particle has ever been experimentally observed or if it's just theoretical.

I'm also confused how it's incompatible with quantum field theory, but it was discovered in a simulation of some sort. If the simulation was compatible with QFT, then the particle should be too, right? If the simulation was not compatible with QFT then why do we think this is a possible particle?
How do I know I have a solid idea for a startup?
I find the easiest way to get past the abstraction of recursion is to describe what a function actually is, rather than the handwavey definitions we usually steal from math. A function is a stack and a list of instructions. When you call a function, you add things to the stack, and when you return from the function, you throw those things away.

Stack of papers, flight of stairs, layers of onions, circle of life, etc. they all just harken back to what it actually is without having to define it directly.
Besides quickly transferring files, which is mentioned in the article, one of the most useful things I've done with netcat was when the company's cloud-based IM+email service went down and everyone in the office couldn't send messages to each other despite being in the same network. After some brief in-person discussion we used netcats for IM, and it worked quite well.
I really want to like Seek, but it has a nag screen and long load time (even on phone unlock) that prevent getting fast photos. Its IDs are pretty great though.
Containerd is the docker runtime, so it's still used to run/manage containers on the kubelet. Crio is another option: https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/cont... . I think the distinction in the docs there is that with just containerd, you don't get all the docker tooling

My understanding is that docker was the most common, but I'm not actually sure if that's still the case. CRI is the interface k8s uses to manage the container engine, and I think CRI-O is the most lightweight, but also gives you less/worse tooling for debugging if you need to drop into a kubelet.

The images are just OCI-spec now, but if memory serves, Docker used a different image format in the past, and it was another containerization company (coreos/rkt) working on an open standard which eventually become OCI
Yeah, good point. Of course most of the big things you know about got ruined, because the ones that didn't get too popular, you don't know about.

In the event of catastrophic data loss at Xero, you could at least take your debits and credits, transactions, invoices and other basic accounting data with you to another vendor. Sure, Xero adds plenty of application logic, but at the end of the day, it's just double-entry accounting.

But people do care if it looks legit. Something that is legit supports their views better, even if it just looks legit and is actually counterfeit.

My first job out of college was as a junior engineering officer on a ship. I had taken naval architecture and the daily draft report was part of my job. The fuel king had a spreadsheet where the engineering watch input all the tank levels overnight. I added a sheet that took that data and solved all the tank problems, bouncy, incline, etc, and printed the report. So instead of two hours of number crunching, or one of my enlisted guys doing what he did (which was basically copy forward and subtract an inch a day), the report was completely automated, with fore, aft, and center draft. With zero human effort.

Apparently the guy who took my job when I left had a nervous breakdown. I feel a little bad about that, but not really. He should have paid attention in class.

All coverage of the audit by reputable news sources has explained why it's a joke. Here's one example

> The “forensic audit,” as Senate GOP leaders are calling their review, is overseen by Cyber Ninjas, a small computer security firm with no election experience before Trump began questioning the 2020 results. Its CEO, Doug Logan, spread false conspiracy theories about the election before he was hired to lead the Arizona review.

When I was using Ubuntu I could drag a window from anywhere by holding Alt and clicking anywhere on the window. I had to use this frequently because due to resolution switching bugs I’d end up with windows where the window controls were entirely off screen.

I believe there is a Windows tool that implements Alt drag as well. On OS X I remember seeing some work in progress attempt but not sure it was ever fully polished.
This is obviously an espionage dead drop machine.
"unique style of content" is a strange way to describe a lackluster library. It doesn't even seem to be improving. There is not a lot of new content compared to 6 month ago (when I first checked). Unless you're very into one of few shows, it's not worth it. And it's not me speaking. They offer 1 year free trial! Who does this?

I have't tried other services, so I cannot comment.
Although, Apple Music seems to be a disaster:

They have done a couple polar launches, totaling 13 satellites (they were both “rideshares” with other payload launches). The bigger group (10) was launched ~7 months ago and wouldn’t be in a train anymore.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, looks like the batch of 10 is still grouped pretty tightly (wonder why they haven’t spread out yet…?)

>> I don't see how this is a productive point. "Democracy is best" is 1) what the US government wants you to think, and 2) an idea that they can manipulate the information environment to promote.

> Can they? The US government has very limited "hard" control over what information is published, e.g. there are no banned books in the US and it would be impractical for the government to try to impose any such ban, in stark contrast to the PRC.

Yeah, the massive amount of information control in China has no parallel in the US:

1. Almost all media is state-owned, and those that aren't are required to follow state directives about what and what not to cover (https://chinadigitaltimes.net/china/directives-from-the-mini...)

2. Huge numbers of people employed to implement social media censorship (https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/jun/29/the-great-firew...: "A considerable amount of censorship is conducted through the manual deletion of posts, and an estimated 100,000 people are employed by both the government and private companies to do just this.")

3. Ditto for books and other publications (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_censorship_in_China#Mainl...: apropos quote "In 2021, the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China announced a ban on books in school libraries that engage in 'Western veneration'").

4. Requirements that every single website account, network connection, and phone number be traceable to an particular individual's ID (typically implemented by requiring phone number validation). This encourages self-censorship (https://www.lawfareblog.com/shrinking-anonymity-chinese-cybe...).

5. The actual 50 cent party (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party)

6. Etc.

Sure you can mad-lib a Western country into my comment, but the comparison is facile.
> You might as well be panicking about PGP archives getting compromised

I don't have a strong opinion on that, but this doesn't sound like an unreasonable thing to worry about. Maybe 20 years ago it seemed like some sci-fi stuff and nobody really thought about it. But then, let's be honest, nobody really thought about e2e encryption back then either. Now this stuff may be not truly an impending disaster yet, but, actually, not so far from it either. Not a big "no-no" yet, but definitely something to be thinking about. And, honestly, I do actually feel uneasy about trusting any secrets with 50+ years expiration date to some integer factorization crypto. Maybe there won't be any practical possibilities to break that in the next 50 years, maybe there will, who knows: but it simply isn't so outrageous of an idea anymore to bet against it. And that's kind of the purpose of cryptography: exaggerating even slightly outrageous possibilities.
> It’s just for show

Which is it? I'm not up to speed on the details of the factory but on the surface ensuring local fab capabilities seems like a reasonably justified national security concern.
I built a big feature with percolate as well and it really sold me on the possibilities of ES for product architecture.
Of course, you can always think of someone losing out in any shift, but I can’t see how the current course is sustainable. For the people who do need longer range we’ll have some combination of carve outs and specialty EVs, I imagine.
There's also an infamous (at the time, anyway) shot of her in Other M. Of course, if you're familiar with the story it's obvious that there's nothing like sexual objectification involved. It makes perfect sense that she's on the floor unconscious in the Zero Suit with her ass pointed directly at the camera, because she was just attacked without warning by a man who she's uncharacteristically submissive toward.

Uh, wait. That came out wrong. Can I start over?
This is not about my willingness to learn, it's about my willingness to invest.

Sure I can make a native app that extends Safari with the APIs I need, and I can also do that again for Android, and again for Windows and again for macOS. Or the browsers could implement features developers like me want and I only have to invest once.

Replacing native apps with web apps IS innovative.

Sure the app's functionality is the same as those before it, but the delivery and interaction paradigm is so much improved for users. Being able to invite a friend to participate on what I'm doing without them having to install a native app IS a step forward in user experience.
I'm so glad I moved out of NorCal (Butte County). The West, SW, PNW, Canada and Siberia are desertifying.
300M is impressive, but we are missing the point here. Most of that count comes from involuntary herd signups by their enterprise customers. What Apple has done is impressive, (although they have equally questionable ways to retain customers). I am sure that at any point, a sizable chunk of Apple's 700M pie would be trial users, but still, it is a considerable number.
Like the Youtube author, I have traveled the world extensively. I'm also a long-time resident of Houston (suburbs). What he says is correct. We weren't bombed. We did this to ourselves.

Having said that, I've also ridden a bicycle through downtown and about a hundred miles outside of the city. The chief way to accomplish this safely, is to do so in a group ride of at least 8 riders. I've probably done about 10,000 miles of this, mostly recreational riding, in the last 10 years.

I'm unusual, in that I had a 3 mile commute through a wooded area, that was surprisingly amenable to cycling. Accordingly, I did ride my bike to work about 5% of the time.

Even though I had shaded suburban bicycle/pedestrian trails to use, Houston is damn hot, humid, and for my size (> 200 lbs.) the cycling really only worked in the 6 cooler months of the year.

Are current fires actually much more destructive? https://cwfis.cfs.nrcan.gc.ca/data/charts/NFD_NFDB_compariso... seems to suggest that the average year is getting worse but really big outliers are getting rarer. https://www.google.com/amp/s/globalnews.ca/news/8045796/cana... suggests we have a higher number than normal but below average in total area burnt.
Even if all 700 million subscribers are $0.99/month it is still an $8.3 billion per year business. That's enough to be #362 on 2021 Fortune 500.

If you really drill into all the different numbers they release over time as investment / corporate strategy analyst you can get a pretty reasonable mix on revenue streams this size.

I don't dig in on Apple as I'm a B2B focused person so speculating a bit here based on parallel experience.

I get what you/they mean by it's not a scientific instrument, but yet it is at the same time. Like you said, they are pushing things, learning, gaining knowledge, etc. That's pretty much the job of scientific instruments. It's just that's it's all bonus learning.
The research org where I was interning bought OS/2 1.2 for a project and I loved it. When 2.0 came out I called the local IBM site (this was in Stuttgart Germany) and they told me "we have a new beta program, just bring 20 3.5" floppies and you can copy it, no questions asked". I went there, did the deed and the guy told me. You want the SDK and C compiler as well? Come back with 20 more floppies. You can bet I was back the next day.
Another really good implementation is Quill (quill.chat). It has a "room type" option where a room is either threaded or free for all. In a threaded room it's a little more message-board like, every top-level post has a topic and such, so it starts a thread. In a free-for-all room it's basically the same as Slack.

It is true, perhaps, that there is more organization or at least communication between people solving a particular mystery today.
I'm not japanese (but I've got japanese family members) but I do use japanese keyboard since years and years and years.

I use it as a qwerty keyboard but... I use the extra functions keys as "super" and "hyper" in addition to ctrl/shift/alt. I love japanese keyboards because the space bar is tiny so the modifiers left and right of the space bar are easy to reach.

The "super" modifier is only for shortcuts related to my window manager (switching virtual desktops / arranging windows / launching programs etc.).

The "hyper" modifier is for my custom macros/functions (which I call from Emacs).

It's nice because these additional modifiers never clash with any other shortcuts.

And as I type this I see in this thread I'm not the only one using a japanese keyboard this way.

Now... In this day and age I probably should get a custom keyboard or make my own keyboard but... Years and years ago it wasn't that easy to make your own keyboard so back then it made sense to go for the laziest thing that would provide me with more modifiers and with "easy to reach with the thumbs" modifiers (thanks to the small spacebar). And the lazy thing to do was simply to use a japanese keyboard.
