>Why do we leave so much behind?

because it was part of the deal? It's the same playbook used to equip ISIS back when toppling asad was the objective. It's not like none of these could be dismantled or outright destroyed. That and Taliban was created by none other than US with the help of Pakistan. It's not like US and Taliban are strangers, and surprise surprise, taliban isn't even in the designated terrorist list apparently. You also have UK military head doing PR for Taliban. Taliban takeover was with the approval of US, and weapon transfer was part of the deal.

Author here;
I'm happy to answer any questions and appreciate suggestions for improvements.
I judge compensation based on what value people bring to society. I look around at the world created by software engineers and I'm not impressed. For every dystopian nightmare being foisted upon us, you have an "engineer" saying "Yes sir and what else would you like us to do to them?" to their higher ups at these trillion dollar companies. I'm sure hitman pays well also but I don't have to root for them to get higher wages.

The more equipment the army leaves behind, the more will need replacing, and the more profit the arms manufacturers make :P

> we should be able to brick everything with a firmware update

I am curious how permenantly-bricked a tank would be without the electronics. Sure replacing the electronics would be a pain in the ass, but I would imagine it’s still orders of magnitude easier than building a whole tank from scratch?
When citing collective written works (like conference paper collections), the editors’ names are usually listed. I don’t see why not do the same here: cite the maintainers’ names when citing the whole, and also specific authors when citing particular fragments.
Using an IDE is like playing the piano and putting stickers with the name of each note. There's no objective downside to doing this, but it's not really going to help you play better music once you go beyond the very basic stuff. It may give some people a false sense of security, but it won't make a difference to a professional programmer. Some of those programmers (but not all, and that is OK) will become annoyed at the stickers once they know how to play the instrument.
Absolutely. JIRA has one of the worst UX I have ever seen. Creating a ticket itself is so painful that it's easy to be lazy to not do it.
In most cases where the US has supplied this kind of equipment, the locals don’t have the skills to actually work on the vehicles. The maintenance work in these situations is usually contracted out to a company from the US (just another part of the $2T grift).

They can probably figure out how to fix the ground vehicles and keep them running, but aircraft without a proper maintenance schedule will break down very quickly.
Those are valid points: Is it too expensive to get technology out? Or is it even possible?

If this is the case can't we destroy the equipment so that it can't be repaired or ever used again? My hope is their is a solution that doesn't involve allowing our technology to fall into the wrong hands.
I don't think unlimited PTO is necessarily a scam, but it's only a benefit if you're a highly productive employee that takes more than 15-20 days off per year.

there is one major downside of unlimited PTO. I don't take very much PTO. maybe I should, but I don't (and especially haven't during quarantine). as a result, I am pretty close to maxed out. whenever I leave the company, I will get an additional check for one month's salary. with unlimited PTO, I would get nothing.
If you're no using an IDE, you're not working in big enough codebases or are not required to move fast enough - either way, I'm not really interested what you have to say. After you work in this business for over a decade, you'll know dumb ideas just because you've seen them several times before. "No IDE" is just that. A dumb idea.
I don't think possibility properties are directly expressible in any linear-time logic, just branching-time logics, and those have their own issues, even though I think they're still sometimes used.

A mistake that could be automatically checked is specifying a system that is equivalent to FALSE (and so implies anything). I hope TLC adds a feature that allows you to check if your system implies FALSE. In the meantime, checking the invariant ¬Init has the same effect.
I would assume Meow Wolf snapped up their talent at bargain rates for the Vegas expansion.
Most of the Afghan civilian population do not have the benefit of an air force but many of them will die from US-built (and now Taliban-operated) equipment all the same. Sure, the civilians are not "allied forces" but it's still a shit move to give their opponents more weapons.

People both inside and outside the company have also asserted that Microsoft was quite gunshy, both during and after the trial. It seems to have had a pretty dramatic impact on their behavior.
> - Error highlighting.

this so much. it's priceless to just type a line and have some warnings such as "hey, you're moving this value but using the variable afterwards, take care" or "hey, it looks like you are only using this argument as a reference, consider not passing it by value" just pop up next to the offending line ; when compared to an IDE-less workflow I pretty much divide the amount of hitting "build" I need by ten or more since the IDE tells me everything wrong beforehand.
My point is that it is hard to make the connection between snoring and sleepiness (and a few other things) and sleep apnoe. Unless you know there is one.

I can understand people using text editors (a la Vim, Emacs) if they've been using them for donkeys years and are extremely proficient and productive with them, additionally for making quick changes to files from the terminal.

However, why any developer would reach for one of these tools now when working on application development is beyond me (other than to feel like a 1337 OG hax0r of course)

Power tools > hand tools
And also inertia, I found a simple trick that gets me into a quasi-flow state zone, which is telling myself that I will just do it for ten minutes. Then I don't have to analyze and do the inner talking for another ten minutes.

Also, don't try to automate just now, try to do it few times, then write down the steps, and selectively automate them. It's actually a good way to train yourself to live with boredom. We tend to find hyper stimulus, that's how we were wired. And we waste a lot of energy not in doing the chores but worrying about them.

It occurrred to me that someone once said that learning math and other subjects in school is training yourself to do the mental chores. And patience is such a rare thing to have in this constantly attention-grabbing society.

A balance check is important, do give yourself something else to do when you leave the work.

Was the heart attack reported anywhere? That sounds like serious news (I assume you mean same day as the vaccine - Google is only showing me virus related ones).
I've answered those sorts of surveys before and fwiw I always interpreted that question differently. It's not "is YOUR best friend a coworker" but instead "do you have A best friend at work" which should be true of anyone who has at least one friend at work (using friend in a fairly loose sense). I can't say I've ever had a long-lasting friendship with a co-worker but at every job I've ever had I had people I worked with that I considered friends. Even if you don't do stuff outside of work together you still spend more time with your coworkers than almost anyone else. And if you develop a relationship with your teammates where you can speak to each other frankly and trust one another's good intentions then that makes for an infinitely better work environment even if you don't generally discuss personal matters. Whether or not that counts as "friendship" is a matter of semantics but I think it is the sort of relationship that the question is asking about.
Glad you're policing what "stage of the conversation" we're at. We wouldn't want to be at the stage where a lone "works for me" dismisses legitimate concerns from what could be your top employee.
> I don't know if people just aren't aware, but vi and emacs have been doing this since at least the 90s. This isn't some fancy feature that requires an IDE. Recently the support has improved even more through LSP.

No, rtags & friends aren't remotely comparable to an IDE which has a semantic understanding of the code, and will catch the uses without false positives.
Or click the article.
Seems like the features you’ve mentioned are already available in most editors or through external tools such as test runners/watchers or debuggers.

For example you mention the “local history” feature of Jetbrains IDEs as being essential.

Vim, and I think Emacs, have had that built in for more than 20 years in the form of backed up undo trees.

There are still somethings IDEs can do that editors can’t e.g. deep static analysis, but with LSP support that set is reducing all the time.
Google ‘founder’ admits he created revenge site against estranged wife
> What percentage of California voters do you believe read that language?

It's not possible, by design, to read any proposition or ballot measure in the State of California while voting. You must do so prior to voting - and I might add its not even easy to do that. Typically a voter will read a summary, and confuse it with legal text. Again this is all by system design.

The system is designed with summaries and titles which are created by a committee, and in my opinion to mislead the public.

It would be far better to have titles such as "Measure 1", and a complete legal text as your question implies. But it is not possible with what voters are provided.
You don't have to be an expert to see the flaws in a study design.
I have no need to do any of this locally outside of debugging when I can commit/push early/often and get the same feedback from my CI/CD process. It also solves the "local history" problem because my code lives on a remote. If anything what you're describing sounds like a lack of standardization or gates in order for code to reach production. That's an engineering problem, not an IDE vs text editor issue.
Sweet what's the group you're part of? Sounds interesting.

It's obviously a great question about the focus on men, and something we think a lot about.

My take: the whole industry is focused on women, and there are already cool companies taking a medication approach with branding clearly focused on women: https://www.joincalibrate.com/, https://joinfound.com/, https://www.formhealth.co/

I'm a fan of what these folks are doing. But you speak to any Fellas (our name for our customers!) and they know those programs aren't aimed at them. Every week we hear something like "I'm fed up of being the only guy in the group".

From a business side, the bet we're taking is that if we manage to crack the messaging/framing/branding for the male audience, that's a great business. Plus how men think about their health is drastically changing as concepts of masculinity change, so the potential customer pool is growing rapidly.

In terms of future expansion: we don't know yet. At least not for the coming few years - there are a lot of bigger guys out there we want to help (35 million men have obesity)!

Youre right. Redis will persist either the AOF or log but your whole dataset must fit in memory (the AOF file is used to fill existing memory on boot).
The advantages of UAVs are massive, numerous, and obvious.

The only military advantages I can really think of manned fighters would be the increased situational awareness of a manned craft: the pilot has a panoramic view of their surroundings thanks to the fighter's canopy and being able to look around. Although, this seems like something drones could achieve relatively easily, providing a 360 degree view to their remote pilots.

Manned craft also have the ability to function autonomously if communications are down due to jamming, I guess? Drones could proceed toward a preselected target even without comms, of course, but a based on my layman's understanding of air combat decision-making is a huge element of combat flight. Things are messy, confusing, and ever-evolving.

This certainly works if the workers are independent contractors and they are free to do different businesses together. When it comes to actual employment, that is a completely different dynamic. Many employees have to play being friends in fear of otherwise being perceived as difficult or unlikeable. You will never know if other employees hang out with you because they genuinely want to.
Which isn't going to happen; DNSSEC and DANE were introduced in browsers several years ago, and the browser developers withdrew support. These are dead-letter standards.
I also had a lot of friends in college who I haven't seen since we graduated and went our separate ways. Life intervenes to end friendships all the time but it doesn't mean that we weren't friends to begin with.

Ren of billions if not lot more has already moved from USD into crypto coins. Banks have had very little say in it, and also no control how money is being used once USD is converted to crypto.

Exchanges are doing pretty well to convert USD to say BitCount, despite Bitcoin's unsavory reputation for illicit/ illegal transaction like ransomware payments that actually happen on the coin. Even single transactions in the millions barely register these days.

I am not sure porn as an industry earns in billions and even if it did the market is today large enough that it won't be sticking out all that much.

Recently LSP provides exactly what you desire anyways with context sensitive jumps.

Edit: Regardless, perhaps our difference here lies around what the minimum specification is. My reading of this thread and the post i responded to is that people think moving around in code without an IDE means closing one file, navigating to the next file and opening that one. This is patently not how it works, and what i was adressing.

Posting anon for obvious reasons.

After 15yrs of aggressive, upward growth positions and three years of my own startup, I landed what seemed to be an awesome job at a Series A startup.

The company is completely mismanaged, overstaffed, on a collision course, and yet the best job I ever had. I'm not a crook - so I do put in an honest 40hrs to collect my modest 200k salary (modest given my experience.)

However, the company is so mismanaged by the C-Suite and so far gone there is no pressure to go beyond the 40hrs/week. The C-Suite is already destroying the firm, why bother plugging holes on a sinking ship on my spare time?

I enjoy the work, my co-workers, but really enjoy the free evenings and free weekends. Best experience of my life while it lasts. No longer have headaches. Have friends that I spend time with. Enjoy the outdoors.

I wish I could have the same at a company that was not mismanaged, because i'm sure it can happen. Our tech org is strong, just the MBAs in the CSuite cant seem to get out of our way.

It's just that Redis is mostly an in-memory database and if the process is terminated and restarted (for all sorts of reasons) the data can be restored from disk.

So what IceFireDB might be good for is data which would not fit easily into the memory of one node.

Ask HN: Is a bootcamp worth it for a recent math grad?
I recently graduated with a degree in computational math. I took about 8-9 computer science courses. The most notable are probably C++, operating systems, and algorithms. I started the major late -- end of my second year. That meant that I had to take summer classes to graduate on time and didn't have an internship until my Junior year summer. The internship was good, but it wasn't at a big, reputable company. Now, I am looking for jobs. I have had reasonable success, but haven't landed anything yet. I've applied to a few hundred positions, but I've only been interviewed by 6. Of those, I've made it to the onsite 3 times now. I made it through one and got axed by the manager, didn't pass another, and have the third coming up. I also currently have a job, but I really want to leave it because my manager essentially lied to, telling me it was a software engineering role when really all I do is excel all day.

I am wondering whether you think it is worth it to try a bootcamp if this next onsite doesn't go my way? I'm desperate to leave my job, but I've heard mixed things about bootcamps.
