Your argument is just reinforcing the reason for errors to be concise and to the point rather than displaying a stack track when it’s not the developers who are administering the application.

Trust me, searching through a stack trace on a centralised logging system isn’t fun.

> Finally, even in personal desktop software, the environment is jointly owned by the user and the developer - the developer is normally responsible for setting up the initial environment through some kind of installer (msi, deb, make configure etc.), and many environment issues are bugs in the installer, not user errors.

Desktop Linux, yeah. It’s seldom that simple in servers though. SELinux, custom config, custom iptables rules, network wide UIDs (eg shared storage volumes), there’s so much that can go wrong the moment you do enterprise.

> Note that even the reverse is not clear; an index out of bounds error could be a user problem - if they are trying to access the 7th element of a 5 element list. The fact that you'd normally do

If you’re writing software that doesn’t do input validation and bounds check then you’re a failure of a developer. Sorry but this is the bare minimum I’d expect a developer to do.

RICO requires as predicate acts other laws to be broken before it can even kick in. So if there's no fraud in the first place, then there can be no RICO.

More importantly, there's a specific sequence of connections between the original predicate acts of racketeering and the control of the enterprise that has to be established for it to happen. 18 USC §1962 has the gory details, but I just don't see how the CEO can possibly be guilty of RICO.

As Ken White says, it's never RICO: https://www.popehat.com/2016/06/14/lawsplainer-its-not-rico-...

I bought the Sceptre 65" (model U658CV-UMC) based on a recommendation in another HN thread last year. There's not a lot to say about it, since all it does is show a signal on a big TV screen, but that's also its biggest benefit. It's an $800 4K 65" TV that doesn't spy on you, so big thumbs up from me.

I'm not sure if it's got the best panel in the world or not. It's definitely good enough for me. One thing I accept about myself is that if I am not looking at two TVs side by side, I am not going to know if one is inferior to the other.
I don't think anyone is really objecting to the concept that you could share ownership of a holiday place and share the ability to use it. That's not the problem with timeshares. The problem with Timeshares is that there is basically only 1 way for timeshare companies to make more money on proprety they've already sold - and that's to increase the maintenance costs until the property is basically worthless, and that is generally what happens. My aunt got a timeshare left to her in someone's will. The maintenance fees for the timeshare (a villa in Portugal) are - funnily enough - more expensive than booking 2 weeks in a villa in portugal. Does she technically own anything? Yes, she owns a liability that she can't get rid of.

Most were up to a few years ago, but the big players went out of their way to make dependable ice makers--I thought.

The tech said most modern refrigerations only last 10 years at best though.
Apple isn’t directly abusing Foxconn employees, Foxconn is. It’s a problem with the Chinese working culture and how easy it is there to abuse workers. They would have to move operations to a different country at this point.

A user agreement of a TV is hilarious now that I think about it. It’s surely a load of disclaimers and agreements that they can violate various privacy laws, but made after you have handed over the money.
Any currency not backed by a military is doomed to fail the moment anyone with actual power decides they've had enough of it.

Afaik shitcoins aren't even backed by the threat of violence (i.e. "fuck with us and we'll do bad shit").

They only work as long as actual organizations with actual armed forces let them be.

Most people forget how fickle their freedoms are, and overestimate their extent.
Something I'd like to see more of are GC and memory allocation guarantees, not just an option to disable it.

Most of the time GC is fine as long as it's low enough latency. Where it matters you don't really want any memory management - which isn't useful, since the memory needs to me managed somewhere in the code. For that reason the pattern isn't to switch to a non-GC'd language because it doesn't have GC but because you can guarantee all the memory is allocated up front and that no freeing or allocation happens in the tight loops.

That's not actually sufficient though. Even in production code bases accidental allocation can slip through. What you'd really like to see is a `no-alloc:` block which forbids operations that may allocate or free memory - GC'd or otherwise - and force the programmer to allocate before entering the block and free outside it.
Well, in the planting scenario I didn't mention the attacker uploading it to iCloud directly because that's exponentially harder nowadays.

If you're hit by an NSO client and they have an agent running in your phone checking in with their C2, what do you think would be easier :

1 - Run a reverse proxy in your phone, steal your credentials (or session data) and use that connection to upload the material
2 - Write it to disk and wait for the media scanner service to pick it up and act on it?

I mean, in the end it's not about the technology but the people operating it, if apple is really incompetent and law enforcement is shitty as usual then yeah, people might end up behind bars for no reason, which sucks but in that case I think the focus shouldn't be the technology itself but how shitty and unfair the system is.

Would be glad to pay a bit more to ensure quality. My persistent fear when buying something is - if it fails, how do I get it serviced/replaced, or barring that - how will I dispose of it. Because dumping it feels completely unsustainable.

It's prevented me from buying to replace a lot of my stuff.
Ask HN: How did you decide which product to build?
If you build it, they will come is a fallacy. I know it. I have built several products that have bombed. My latest flop is an HTML to PDF conversion API called PDFMark.

The pundits and coaches say you should always do your market research before writing a single line of code. And I think I have done market research. I had once built a cloud-based photo backup application after surveying existing users of my photo watermarking application. Many of them said they would use a cloud-based photo backup application. I had thousands of photographers using my photo watermarking tool and they were the obvious target users of a photo backup tool. Yet hardly anyone signed up for the product. When I conducted a survey and I asked them if photo backup was a problem and if they would use a cloud backup service they said yes, but when it actually came to signing up for the service and shelling out real money, not many people did.

I am lost as to what do I even ask the prospective customers anymore? Henry Ford said if I had asked customers what do they want they would have said a faster horse. I am confused about the whole market research business.

New trend on Twitter is about building a community before you build a product. I have followed several community builders. And I quickly realised, people who have thousands of followers are mostly good at gaining more followers. Those who are building real products have no time to post 20 times a day to build a Twitter following.

When I look back, I realise that many of the products I have built simply because I thought building them would be cool. My most successful product – the photo watermark software uMark ($4K monthly) is one such product. I had built it because I thought it would be cool to build. I had no use of that product myself, I did not ask anyone if they needed such a product, I did not check if there was anything available in the market already. I did not waste time thinking a name or designing a logo. The first version was built over a weekend and released on a free download site. It got 1500 downloads on the first day.

I really don’t know if market research and community building and all that is as important as it is made out to be. After that first product I have had no such luck with any other products.

What do you guys think? What kind of market research did you do before launching? How did you decide which product to build?

I used to do this on rails projects. Then 3 years later you're running all ancient libraries, and you need to upgrade one with dependencies that conflict with your older locked versions. So now instead of dealing with one thing at a time, I've got 30 libraries (many not even direct dependencies) that have all got to get upgraded, and it's a nightmare to unwind and update it all.
Same. Samsung has had a bad reputation for a while. I remember having issues with their CRT monitors back in mid 2000s. I bought one of their smart TVs back in 2011 and it's had issues with the panel ever since with randomly showing purple & pink lines. Their cell phones have also been crap in my personal experience.
Yeah, perhaps instead of working around it, people should work to change the existing systems.

Otherwise you're always going to be stuck completely underground and treated like a criminal/third rate citizen.
It generally doesn’t snow in SF or Chandler. I personally like snow, so I wouldn’t describe that weather as significantly worse. But my understanding is snow makes it hard for lane keeping, and then there’s all sorts of edge cases like streets that aren’t plowed and require special driving techniques, people placing cones to reserve parking spaces, etc.

I've been programming since I was about nine. I still love writing software as much as I did the day that I figured out that you could compile code. Corporate code gives me the kind of feels that I see in other comments here about burnout. I often tell folks that when I go to work I am a shell of the man I really am, git clone --depth 1 if you will. It isn't necessarily the code itself that bothers me; it's the incentive structure, it's the way managers and executives commonly lie or manipulate you with stories and narratives, and the politics. It's like I can see all of that in the actual code. I can see where someone stayed up way too late, or compromises were made with an overzealous executive or manager. I came into engineering because I loved to code, I stayed for the money, but when this career is long gone I'll probably still tinker with code.

"Mastering Software Engineering" smells of professionalization. What's to master? Algorithms, data structures, patterns? To me, the mastery of software engineering is learning to learn and identifying what things to learn when. There will be a thing after coding, and the same kind of people will inhabit that job, I suspect.
Also, I doubt that there's much need to work his low level graphics optimisation magic like he did with Oculus. Something tells me that the interface is probably rendered in a browser and there's low hanging fruit all over the place.
Does anyone connect their TV to the internet these days?
That would be an ideal outcome, but plenty of people would need to be economically or legally forced. Cross-reference to vaccines.
> it's such a draining profession

I truly can't understand thinking this. I've worked in software engineering for over 10 years now, at a wide range of companies from tiny startups to large tech cos. We easily make 2 - 5x more than the median wage, work indoors in a comfortable environment sitting (or standing, for anybody who prefers) all day with high end ergonomic equipment, often get unlimited vacation time, can often choose not to work more than 8 hours a day if we don't want to, and all while doing something that many of us got into simply because it was a fun and engaging thing to do. And just in the past year millions of software engineers have gotten the option of doing this fully remotely, freeing them up to live anywhere they want and never have to commute. What a time to be alive!

It was technically possible but nobody seriously did it because the transactions were very slow and fees were massive compared to everything else, not to mention that the deflationary design meant that anyone who did would be mocked for not having held on until the value went up. Remember all of those comments about people buying a pizza with what a few years later would have been thousands of dollars? That sealed its fate as a currency because anyone who has an alternative will be better off using it as long as speculators are pouring money in.
Yes, I like to posture on HN instead, too! :)
My Samsung front-loader failed the first time in less than a year. Right after that, the Samsung dryer I bought with it also failed.

My Samsung refrigerator had the display fail after two years, and the replacement display started failing in a month. I no longer bother buying replacement displays because everyone else agrees they never last more than a few months.

No more Samsung appliances for me, ever. And CR's credibility took a major hit in my eyes because I bought the washer & dryer on their recommendation, even after I already knew that Samsung refrigerators were garbage.
Don't get me wrong, Elixir is one of my favorite languages, but I don't think you'd be behind for not knowing it. Even functional programming as a whole isn't widely enough adopted that people who aren't familiar with it are behind.
Yup. This whole era from WW2 onwards (the 3rd/4th Industrial Revolution?) will be looked at as covering 1950 to probably the mid 21st century hundreds of years from now.
Agreed, I started with rack mount stuff and quickly moved away from it. Very loud and for the budget stuff frequently used by homelabs, very power hungry for not that much performance.
What proof? A receipt from a shop barely lasts the 2 years warranty product if you don't photocopy it, because it's printed on thermal paper. And a lot of people doesn't either keep it. Also is this service going to be maintained forever?

The reality is that new TVs and in general new electronics are effectively disposable products, not meant to last in the time. While I have at my house an old CRT with valves in it, that I can repair simply with a soldering iron, as I did a couple of times, and other old electronic devices that still works fine, it's not the same for modern crap. When it breaks the only option is to throw it in a landfill.

We should start form the past, where everything came with its schematic in it, and thus the facto open source, where they didn't even imagined something opposed to that, it was natural when you purchase something to be in full control of it, to have the right to know how it worked and how to repair it when it failed.

And nobody, I mean no user, complained that there wasn't a way to remotely block their TV in case someone steal it.

I fully believe that your choices are logical for your own tastes. I myself don’t prefer Amazon for most things I buy for similar reasons to yours.

At the same time, I have absolutely heard multiple people say the words “if it sucks you can always return it.”

Low-friction returns are like business school 101 for retail.

I think the typical Amazon customer doesn’t shop on quality for many product categories, they are price sensitive. They don’t want to pay $50 for the Apple-certified power brick and cable.

I don’t think anyone wants to be NewEgg, if you ask me :-)
> You’d need to prove that a “Wall Street CEO” told someone to commit mortgage fraud.

For it to be RICO, no you do not need to prove that. You need to prove more. You'd need to prove that the "Wall Street CEO" told someone to commit mortgage fraud, and then used the proceeds of that mortgage fraud to take control of an enterprise (which would presumably have to exclude the company of which he is CEO).

Hey I had that same issue with my old fridge, a guy on YouTube helped me solve it! Take a short piece of the copper ground wire from a length of Romex and wrap it around the heating element, then have it point down into the drip area. It should conduct enough heat to keep the fins from icing up. It's not ideal but it saved me from replacing the (I think) evaporator fan for a third or fourth time, plus all the ruined food. Also had to replace the mainboard on the pile of junk fridge. So glad I don't own it anymore.
