PC software for VR is not written to support 10 year old PCs and a 10 year old Laptop won't have the ports an Index needs. Oculus software is written to support the Snapdragon processor. So your post is not correct. It's not about which solution is more powerful, it's about what the software is targeting for minimum requirements.
That's missing the point though. Its introduction was a marked change in server/player culture that only accelerated over the next decade; players didn't want to put effort into something that took time, they wanted it now.
It is a straw man. Software engineers don't hate spreadsheets when they're used as spreadsheets, like this article describes. They hate the "spreadsheet as a database," particularly when they're asked to load those spreadsheets into a proper database or other system periodically. Spreadsheets are so easy to use for tabular data, and since technical and non-technical people alike can easily use them, it's a tempting data transmission protocol. But most non-engineering types aren't disciplined about the layout, or understand the intricacies of interpreting the data (e.g. putting labels into numeric columns, adding accidental spaces to the end or beginning of labels), leaving the engineers to constantly rewrite sometimes complex scripts to load new data in this month's "flavor" of spreadsheet.
Exactly. There's a myopia here: people[1] prone to imagine global geopolitics as a zero sum war between superpowers imagine ever action by the superpower they're unfamiliar with as some kind of targetted attack.

But the PRC government doesn't see it like that. Historically, they are far, far more vulnerable to their own people than they are to the US, which at the end of the day just wants to buy cheap junk and sit around streaming movies.

So if I see the CCP moving against financial interests inside China, I'm going to assume that they view those financial interests as the threat they're trying to control.

Not at all. And this happened during testing for the battery’s commissioning, so there should be a lot of eyeballs on the monitoring.

UTC is known in the future only as labels for time moments.

You cannot compute the difference between 2 UTC times, at least one of which is a future time, with resolution of a second or less.

So this does not have anything to do with TAI.
Feels like this is a business opportunity for someone.

Use case:

1. Upload a pre-reviewed package.json file.
2. The service monitors changes, and recommends updates. Recommendations might include security, bug, features, etc. It would check downstream dependencies, too. For production systems, the team might only care about security features.
3. Developer team can review recommendations, and download the new package.json.

(There are lots of opportunities to improve this: direct integration with git, etc.)

Anybody know if this sort of service exists? I know npm has _some_ of this. Maybe I'm just ignorant of how much of a solved problem this is?
"designed to be used by marketing people"

Yes. A resounding Yes. You can try to do it in other cool things but if you want to build a serious marketing site which can be managed by non technical people, WordPress is the way to go. I am a technical founder who runs a SAAS and I have been playing around with things like Hugo, Netlify, headless CMS etc but WordPress kees beating them due to the speed, maintainability and time to market factor.

Don't go crazy on Plugins especially shitty 3rd party and you will be fine. Don't listen to people who dislike PHP and all that.
"Because the political isle advertising for the considered positions"

I don't understand this clause.
I think this is a good thing. It might show potential victims that their opponents are not a bunch of smelly teenagers hopping online after midnight.

These are multi-million (billion?) businesses. There's strategic leadership, target acquisition pipelines, R&D, talent recruitment and coordination with other businesses in the space.

There's every indication that with a little bit of protection money, you can even run your business with no interference from the law, as long as you don't mess around in your own backyard.

You can see from the blog post, that this "company" has done a product-market-fit analysis. They've taken a look at their competitors' work, considered the pros/cons, and decided that they can do better. Since they are a b2b company (hehe) you can be reasonably sure this is not some PR aimed at consumers. I think it reads as a recruitment pitch to their lead generators (read: hackers whom infect other networks for them).

You can see the pitch, it almost reads as a vacancy post:

- We make a lot of money

- We're new to the scene but already have had success

- We only work with the best hackers

- We pay you lots of money to infect a network, if you got what it takes

I don't see that. Demand for what? Consumption? Increasing the flow of "stuff" from store/Amazon to the landfill? If we account for inflation, what's increasing?
> [...] Jobs are "sticky" [...]

My experience has been the opposite, in that sticky jobs are jobs held by people who aren't in demand. There's a balancing act for employers ("brilliant but flighty" is less desirable than "good but sticky") so it's certainly possible to argue that jobs being sticky for less-than-brilliant people is a good thing... but in my experience, jobs aren't sticky because of inertia for brilliant people.

As I understand it, your typical CSA is a fairly light organization that works with a handful of local farms. Some seem to be a single farm's retail arm.

So, yes! A CSA could absolutely consider aquaponics, hydroponics, or vertical farming. Indeed I suspect many farmers have considered precisely these things. Taking a wild guess, I would speculate that there are questions of capital at work here. Every successful urban hydroponic farm I've seen or read about to date has focused on high-value, crops used in small quantities where freshness is at a premium. Herbs, spices, and similar flavorings or luxuries.

For other things, it still seems to be the case that shipping in apples or avocados or ground wheat from thousands of miles away is cheaper than trying to grow them in a repurposed office building in a city center. Plus there's likely a non-zero cost to acquiring, repurposing, and providing ongoing resources (electricity, water, nutrients, etc.) to this brand new vertical farm.

Again, you're absolutely right. Those are all things a local CSA could consider! It's perhaps possible that that consideration has been taking place carefully, deliberately, and with financial calculations at hand for something like eighty years now. Or perhaps I severely and deeply misunderstand the resources a typical local CSA commands.
Hi. I started hacking in 3rd grade in Apple Basic on an Apple IIe, published dozens of CVEs in my youth, helped start a hackerspace, build sota robots, etc etc etc.

Pretty sure I get to call myself a hacker in any sense of that word.

I’m a fan of KYC and paying taxes precisely because I’m a hacker and can immediately see how easy it is to hack civil society without those things.

Also, this isn’t a forum for hackers in any definition of the word. It’s a public discussion forum run by and often for the benefit of a powerful and rich VC firm with substantial investments in alt fin tech speculation. are you sure you’re not the one simping?

I'm not sure we're going to get much further here if you're arguing on the dichotomy of checked out employees punching a clock vs exploitation by the employer.

Suffice to say, this crap has impact on real people, in the real world. To imply it's just some neutral action doesn't reflect the reality we live in.
Maybe it's time for radical political reform to end these deadlocks?

I don't know about South Korea, but looking at some other asian countries, there are a couple of things, I think the housing part falls into number 3 but is only a small part of the whole:

1. Having children without being married has a bunch of problems, and in some countries like singapore gets punished for it in lack of certain social services

2. Most of these societies expect women to work or have their husband take care of them. Maternity leave is in some aspects as bad as or worse than in the US.

3. Having children is expensive and the education stress that follows for over a decade after giving birth is even more straining. The subsidies people get in Asia hardly even make up for the cost of a c-section. Sure the same might be true for the USA, but we know it's not a good place to compare things to. But birth and housing are also a fraction of the long term pain of raising a child in those societies.

Other people have mentioned dating. I think modern societies in general have had a break down in social structures, where people used to get their partners from.

Me neither. When I was first starting out, that really stressed me out a lot until I realized that I didn't work with anybody else who was "good" at it - that is, I didn't work with or know anybody who could take a list of requirements written out in English and produce a timeline that had any relationship to how long the software would take to be ready to use.

Been doing this professionally since 1992. I still haven't met anybody who was "good" at estimation.

>I’ve watched talented engineers leave companies for greener pastures after painfully short tenures. I’m even guilty of this myself — I left an amazing company after less than two years to join Ethena as VP of Engineering.

Engineers can leave after months and still get jobs. You're not guilty of anything for leaving after 2 years for a VP position.
You laid out the exact reasons I stayed as long as I did at my last job, even after it became clear I was not happy with my compensation. (except for the moving part - hurray living in a 'tech' town with lots of opportunities I guess.) Although I am really confident at this stage of my career in my abilities and reputation, interviewing is such a pain in the ass overcoming that inertia takes a bit, and you are right, companies count on that inertia.
Sounds about right. There seems to be little political will to actually "euthanize the rentier", or even put a cap on how much income rent-seekers can accrue nonproductively. The result is that "landlords are eating everything."

Stop being obtuse. The behavior eBay engaged is covered under laws criminalizing harassment or stalking. Try holding the .gov to the same standards and see where it gets you. Even if there isn't a legal carve-out it will be a much more uphill legal battle and the other parts of the .gov you have to deal with along the way will try as hard as they can to avoid enforcement actions against whatever part of the .gov is abusing you.
... feeling badly for picking on F-Bomb guy and I remembered a story about him that I thought I'd share as context when I say he never landed in harassment territory.

He worked at an office in a different state, but I worked closely with his team and he had been put on a team that my former boss had chosen to move across the country to be a member of. Apparently Bill (former boss[0], not his real name) met John (F-Bomb guy, same) two days after he started; they got to talking, John found out Bill had a moving truck coming that weekend and invited himself over to help, even buying lunch for him, my former boss and the one other guy who was willing to help.

[0] Not his boss, not even on the same team and they'd met that day -- it was one of several stories; we'd often wondered if the profanity was a mental thing because he otherwise behaved like a Sunday School teacher.

> If not, shouldn't slavery be a pretty hot political issue?

:) You'd think, right?

It's not exactly a niche issue, there are plenty of people talking about it. But once you get fully into the mainstream, the issue seems to just fall off completely. There's a real apathy in America about how our prison system works, and not just apathy on the Right, mainstream Democrats talk about modern-day slavery in prison way less than I would expect them to.

I'm not sure if it's a messaging thing, or if culturally we're just primed not to care. But yeah, America never fully ended slavery, it's still allowed if you've been convicted of a crime.

This is correct. There is no logical reason or empirical evidence that opening country to mass immigration will help fixing native birth rates. Problems such as housing will just increase as there's more competition for a 5 square meter flat.

I mean, I won't claim the 'brilliant' label, but I am competent and in-demand, and my experience is just what the OP laid out. Once I started interviewing, opportunities came left and right. Getting starting interviewing was a hump though, and there IS always the fear of landing somewhere that seems good, but isn't, especially if your current job ONLY lacks for adequate compensation.

What?

1. Yes, obviously Japan housing prices have fallen from their insane 90s peak, but housing is still very expensive in Japan, and especially in urban areas where most Japanese (especially younger Japanese) live, space is famously at a premium.

2. I can barely count the number of times I've read articles on the reasons Japanese women don't want to get married. Unlike some Western nations, there is still a cultural expectation in Japan that women do a ton of housework and childrearing with little help from men, to the point that famously elaborate childrens' bento boxes are a source of stress. Many Japanese women with careers easily see marriage as a net negative, obviously different than decades past.

Software engineers who have had to deal with spreadsheets being used inappropriately. Spreadsheets are an extremely powerful tool, but they have limits. Their accessibility is part of what makes them so ubiquitous, but it also means people get comfortable and start using them beyond their limits.

Spreadsheets (Excel ones in particular) are great and presenting tabular data and they're mediocre at most other things including crunching numbers, taking notes, storing computational data, providing user interfaces, and much more. It's often okay to use a sub-optimal tool, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

A recent HN post[0] highlighted an example where Excel was being used to keep track of large-scale contact tracing data for covid in the UK. Excel is a mediocre database. It has hard limits on cell sizes and row/column counts among other things. They ran into one of those limits and lost track of 16K positive cases because of it.

From my own experience, I've had to deal with repositories containing tens of thousands of Excel spreadsheets. They were used to capture verification data. Excel files are large and difficult to parse with scripts, which was bad enough. But the worst part was that Excel doesn't really have a syntax or schema, so users editing the spreadsheets would frequently create changes to the table layouts which would have to be accounted for as edge cases in scripts. I'd be lucky to even recover data from half the files using automation. I even encountered one Excel workbook with over 300 tabs!

Every tool has limits and it can be frustrating working with popular tools when users fail to recognize those limits. I love working with Python, but I'd never try to write a kernel with it. Likewise, there is a time and place for spreadsheets.

Generators are one of the concepts that devs from other languages under use in Python. It's a natural solution to a ton of problems, since it lazily evaluates, and only stores one result out of the entire sequence at a time, and its interface is compatible with the iterator protocol. It's a mini state machine with it's own little memory world as well.

If you are used to call backs, promises, tick() calls or closures, it will be natural to reach for them a lot, and be disappointed at their state in the Python ecosystem.

But while I do miss better anonymous functions support sometimes in Python, it is rarely a problem because it comes with other tools to arrive to the same result.

Generators are one of them. Of course, you'll have to realize that generators are way more that a lazy way of generating data. You can use them for control flow, hold state, hide complexity or delegate behavior using a common interface. The send() method is very often completely ignored by most devs, and the yield from underused.

But beyond generators are a lot more things that, in the same vein, will bring you to python enlightenment once you start thinking with them instead of trying to make a Python fits into a square hole:

- the functools module

- the itertools module

- context managers

- any/all/zip/iter/next/enumerate

- decorators (it can do so much more than you imagine)

- type hints (take a look at fast api for awesomeness)

How is 1-year vesting worse than 4-year vesting?
No. Major population growth has been happening since the times of the new world migration.

The only major time i can think of where there were major depopulation events are in the times of the Fertile Crescent civilizations and perhaps in Asia in Angkor Wat. In both of the scenarios this massive depopulation led to the extinction of those civilizations.
