I’m on the side that mostly dislikes touch bar (although my opinion is nowhere that extreme. Slight preference at best).
But I tell you what, it was the first time in my 30 years of being around computers that I had to reinstall the OS because my Esc key disappeared. No joke.

Even tried contacting Apple support.. nobody was able to help me to reset settings and make Esc come back. I think that’s kinda hilarious situation.
isn't it per user though, instead of per developer (like apple)?

I definitely agree. Pay what you expect (great for great work), and if someone isn't cutting it let them know (chance for improvement). Worse case, let them go.

Instead, most companies reward no one and wonder why the good ones leave or burn out ("weird, they don't contribute at the same level anymore").
I'm not dang, but it's well known that the HN algorithm penalizes ranking of posts that drive upvote/downvote wars. I don't know whether that's happening on this page but given voting behavior on similar posts in the past its not unlikely some amount of that is happening here.
Missed opportunity really. That's a year of not having a conversation about something that's bothering you. Sure people can live their lives however they want, but talking about issues, for me, on average resulted in better outcomes than not talking. That applies to romantic relationships as well as professional ones.

Somehow people seem to think it has to be one sided when it comes to professional relationships with your employer. Maybe it's a lack of structured, routine, two sided feedback that makes people not bring up issues around compensation. Maybe employers should ask proactively if the employee is happy with their compensation.
Dead comment in this thread with apt observation:

>Firstly, you can't be a "power" if you are occupied. You are a vassal, nothing more.

SK (also JP and TW), as nominal American satraps, with their political existence underpinned by American security commitments, will have problems exporting synthesized east/west liberal models because others in the region without suchy commitments are driven by desire for security first and foremost. Usually that means suppressing liberal values / sources of foreign influence. A nation who can't defend itself is going to have hardtime being a role model, it's like a trust fund kid lecturing to others about bootstraps. The author’s affiliation in specific SK ministries and submission from nationalinterest also should give readers pause.

That said, SK is making some interesting pivots into military industrial complex. There's sufficient technological expertise and heavy industry that I can see them being a credible middle power model if they took lead on self-defense and distance appearance of being a US "vassal". Sending forces to Hormuz to secure oil route after Iran drama is also a good start.

Continuing exponential population growth is obviously not a sustainable path forward. At some point, The world's economies are going to have to realign to a flat population and will have to adapt to the demographics there of. And if humanity does not choose not to do so, at some point in the future, the choice will be made for us.
This isn't really a tech issue. This is an issue in all fields.

You might check out Inside Cyber Warfare by Jeffrey Carr from 2011. It's ancient, predating (AFACT) the rise of ransomware, and technically illiterate, but goes into considerable detail about the Russian cyber-crime/-war (they're the same, really) groups and their relationship to the government.

Concurrent usually refers to any kind of control flow in which separate (logical) threads of execution can be interleaved, and where the particular interleaving can affect the final result. For example, event systems are inherently concurrent, even if they are single threaded: the order of events affects normally affects the final state of the system (for example, if you receive a request to SET X=0 and a request to INCREMENT X, the final result may be 0 or 1 depending on the order, even if you have a single thread of execution actually handling the events).

In contrast, parallel programming usually refers to program flows where multiple instruction streams can be interleaved arbitrarily without changing the final result. For example, when using mapping a pure function on a list, the execution of the function for each element of the list can be executed in parallel without any concurrency.

Alternatively, parallel execution can refer to any case where multiple instruction streams are actually executed in parallel, regardless of their order.

Concurrency often has pitfalls even with single-threaded execution models. For example, if two generators share some common state, even if they are executed in a single thread, the final result depends on how they are used and may be unexpected.
It is not uncommon for journalists to interview terrorists and gangsters. I found it insightful.
My Summer scifi has thus far included "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir and "Dark Matter" by Peter Straub. Both are fast-past and engaging until the end.

That's inaccurate at best about the Nordics. Norway, yes, and Denmark to some degree. Neither Finland or Sweden have or had any significant oil and gas reserves, but built their economies on industry (and mining to some extent).

> But what if some of these jobs were given to the employees?

This seems like another thing Trader Joe's does—I've been to their stores in a few places I've lived, and while they always have a similar aesthetic, a lot of the specific decorations seemed to be unique per store with nice local details. Of course, this could still be done in a totally top-down way—hiring local consultants or something—but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of that was done by the store employees.

> And that makes sense when the goal is to make money.

Abstractly, I expect that this isn't the best way to make money. Modern management practices seem to value legibility and control even at the expense of expected income and company resilience. This probably says something fundamental about our culture, philosophy and incentives, but I'm not sure exactly what!
Wait, those are already discontinued?

Ask HN: Tips for experienced developers learning new languages?
I'm a senior dev who's mostly programmed in C++ and Python, and I'm now looking at learning Rust. It's been about a decade since I learned a new language, and I'm wondering if anyone has tips beyond "read the docs, write lots of code."

Has there been any formal research on new programming language acquisition? Does anyone have a specific "new language" process that works particularly well for them?

You may be interested to know that the Notecard + Notecarrier-AA, without any host MCU, and with just a couple lines of JSON to configure it, act as a tracker. It has on-board GNSS plus antenna, plus an accelerometer so that it doesn't consume energy when not in motion. (It draws about 8uA when idle.)

Also, if you want to pair it with a $2 ESP32 configured with ESP-AT firmware, the built-in firmware will also do WiFi triangulation.

Yes, we have customers using it as a simple tracker. However, to be clear, this is not a complete "to the glass" tracking solution. All it does is to send tracking data to your service via HTTP JSON. If you have a system that "just wants the data", this is a perfect solution.
I used them back at lockheed as early as ~2005? Although they were mostly around hardening BSD IIRC... (which became SElinux?

Interestingly, they answer very clearly:

They're in only for the money, so the answer is "yes".

Ransomware is not "grey" work though, if this is the implication; it's extortion, which is illegal.
Being highly paid or at the top of a management structure does not equal being more productive.

It is one philosophy that there exists some line, some fuzzy DMZ that gets crossed between being merely "wealthy and more prosperous than others" and obscene. Colloquially that seems to be "billionaire" but I bet a lot of people on the farther-left would define is somewhere north of $10 million.

Especially in a country so far behind the rest of the developed world with regards to access to health-care and housing for so many millions of people.
Studies mostly show that, in the long run, family-based immigration policies lead to more economic growth than the "best and brightest". Basically, forming immigrant communities is useful—they provide support to new entrants, and lead to better outcomes for everyone. Importing a few educated doctors, rather than families or broader populations, leads to less long-term benefit.
This just sounds like a justification you are OK with. Everyone's bar for "OK" is different and moral/immoral.

From my experience, almost all the functionality with any sort of smarts is designed solely for it's core audience: If you're using OBS and Twitch I'm sure it's fine, but it's general Windows interaction functionality is extremely primitive.

Then there's third party plugins, but I don't really see any security guarantees on how those are designed, there's not a lot of reason for me to be comfortable with those.

The really basic functionality I wanted that the software couldn't change, was the ability to remain functional when the PC was locked.

As a product manager, spreadsheets have been an incredible asset to build products when I had limited resources and to iterate quickly.

When we had no front-end devs available - we used Googles sheets API, connected our spreadsheets to our production DB, and did all the input of raw data, and ingestion of outputs automatically. User interaction happened within the spreadsheets.

When FE devs opened up, we eventually built the UI to replace the spreadsheet (Which is a very hard task, spreadsheets are good at what they do). But by this point, we knew exactly what we needed in the ux and had iterated on the ux multiple times.
The author's chief complaint about Angular boils down to... version numbers? Is he also upset that Chrome has reached version 92? Bumping the major version number doesn't mean you have to rewrite your app (with the sole exception of the O.G. Angular 2).
People were upset because of how the secured debt was treated Some analysis here:

>...Secured debt takes first priority in payment; it is also typically preserved during bankruptcy under what is referred to as the "absolute priority" rule — since the lender of secured debt offers a loan to a troubled borrower only because he is guaranteed first repayment when the loan is up. In the Chrysler case, however, creditors who held the company's secured bonds were steamrolled into accepting 29 cents on the dollar for their loans. Meanwhile, the underfunded pension plans of the United Auto Workers — unsecured creditors, but possessed of better political connections — received more than 40 cents on the dollar.

>Moreover, in a typical bankruptcy case in which a secured creditor is not paid in full, he is entitled to a "deficiency claim" — the terms of which keep the bankrupt company liable for a portion of the unpaid debt. In both the Chrysler and GM bankruptcies, however, no deficiency claims were awarded to the wronged creditors. Were bankruptcy experts to comb through American history, they would be hard-pressed to identify any bankruptcy case with similar terms. .

These countries must invest in ectogenesis. I really don't understand why this is never talked about when the low fertility rate in the developed world is discussed.

Ectogenesis can be one of the solution.

> If so, then the effort of hardening is very similar. It doesn't really matter where you do it.

Nope. If the clusters are separate it limits how damaging a compromise of the cluster is. This is why cloud providers don’t stick you on the same k8s cluster as another tenant.

> Multiple clusters may have a smaller blast radius, but will have a larger attack surface. Things may be shared between them (accounts? network tunnels? credentials to a shared service?) in which case an intrusion in one puts everyone else at risk.

It’s not really clear what you’re trying to say here. If someone compromises credentials shared between all clusters that’s the same as compromising credentials used by one mega cluster.
