The first example isn’t a software engineer. The code is a spaghetti mess because the system wasn’t engineered - there are no design documents, because the system wasn’t designed it was just hacked together. There’s no memos describing why certain decisions were made.

The second is, ironically, usually the same, but instead of a lack of design there’s a lack of requirements, which is even worse.
Regolith Linux Review – Balancing Ease of Use and Productivity
I second this. The revolution is still a highly politicised topic, but this movie is fairly balanced. It has an international cast so most dialogs are dubbed. I don’t know any better movie on that topic.
A while ago a Berlin court decided that online posts saying "Drecksfotze"/"Schlampe"/"Knatter sie doch mal einer so richtig durch, bis sie wieder normal wird." (filthy cunt/bitch/someone fuck her hard until she becomes normal again) are still below the threshold that top politicians have to endure before they can sue for insult, so the ability to "unload" on top politicians doesn't seem to be in any danger in Germany.

Although this ruling was widely criticized, because there is some societal understanding that politicians are also humans who need some level of protection, and that unrestricted hate speech always has the potential to transform into physical violence sooner or later.
>Of course the 39% who aren't vaccinated will continue to spread it like before

Why do you lie, vaccinated people spread the virus just as much
At French school we a were taught wrong takes when it comes to history (less so, of course)

It’s mainly the history from a « républicain » point of view. Also served with a blatant pro European federalism take.

Nothing wrong per se, but we should have a critical view on what we were fed with.
There were similar arguments before WW I, but the European nations still went to war. All you need is a situation where the people in charge hate their enemies more than they love their children.
The 61% is misleading because it includes children ineligible for the vaccine. My undertow that they’ve vaccinated something like 80% of adults (one of the highest on the world).
Not to mention, when we click the start button for navigation why the heck do they not increase the speaker volume, handle brightness, rotate the screen automatically? There could even be a setting for it. Sometimes I feel like a robot repeating the same useless clicks all over again every time I navigate.

The GPS in my car does that, it's so annoying. I like to leave it on 'map view' where it shows current location and the street name at the top, and every time it starts I have to 'ok' a disclaimer telling me to focus on the road.

Infuriating.
I think your outsized negative reaction is due to the fact that Puy du Fou does a better job popularizing history than your average French history teacher.

That they take a slightly different view at historical events is ever more outrageous, but it only shows how one-sided and politicized history education is in France.

FYI, I am an outsider not really interested in French politics, just happened to leave in a nearby country.

Meticulous (YC S21) Is Hiring #1 Founding Engineer
Hey HN!

I'm Gabriel, founder of Meticulous.

Meticulous's mission is to make the world's code safe, performant and reliable. We're starting with a tool to catch JavaScript regressions in web applications with zero-effort from developers.

We are a London-based YC company and remote friendly. We just raised $4m, and are backed by some of the best founders and technical leaders in Silicon Valley, including Guillermo Rauch (founder Vercel, author next.js), Jason Warner (CTO GitHub), Scott Belsky (CPO Adobe), Calvin French-Owen (founder Segment), Jared Friedman (YC partner and former CTO of Scribd) and a bunch of other incredible folks.

How it works: Insert a single line of JavaScript onto your site, and we record thousands of real user sessions. We then replay these sessions on new code to automatically catch bugs before they hit production. You can watch a 60-second demo at meticulous.ai/demo.

Catching JavaScript regressions is just the start. There is an entire category of products to build on top of replay. This ranges from automatic UI previews to revealing the performance impact of frontend code.

We want to change the way the world develops software, and influence software approaches for decades to come.

We are hiring our #1 founding engineer.

You will have autonomy in building out this technology, but here are a few problems you might work on:

- Build a distributed system to concurrently replay thousands of sessions, such that a developer gets a result in seconds.
- Speed up the replay of sessions in a way that retains determinism.
- Derive algorithms to detect sessions that cover differing code paths and edge cases, and ignore sessions that are too similar.
- Help build out a team of world-class, highly collaborative, software engineers.

As #1 engineer, you get to shape the company, and build the culture and technology from the ground up.

What we look for:

In a sentence: Technically brilliant, delightful to work with, combined with a self-awareness and strong desire to improve.

You should have experience with TypeScript or JavaScript. However, we are more interested in raw technical brilliance than experience with any particular language or technology. You have a deep love for software engineering. Maybe you enjoy programming books like Clean Code, Designing Data Intensive Applications, Pragmatic Programmer etc. or enjoy hacking on interesting side projects. You value transparency and candid feedback, and are driven by a strong desire to become the best engineer you can be.

Learning: You will be given the space and time to up-level yourself as an engineer in terms of conferences, reading, or whatever you think will be most valuable. We will also set you up with mentorship, if you desire it, from top engineering leaders (folks running 100-engineer organizations at the world's leading tech companies).

If this sounds interesting, please reach out to me at gabe [at] meticulous [dot] ai with “HN” in the subject line and 2-3 sentences about what you find interesting about Meticulous.
I think it's matter of usability and taste. As a programmer who uses CLI applications daily I still find GUI applications far superior to those tasks for which I don't have the CLI commands imprinted in my tactile memory. And I forget any CLI functions I don't use daily reaaallly fast.

(I wonder whether there are studies on if this actually helps.)
Depends on how you do it, I guess. Squatting low weights or just body weight indeed doesn't involve stabilisers very much. But try squatting 2x your bodyweight on the bar and you find that it takes everything you've got to keep the body stable.

(Note: don't actually try to squat 2x your bodyweight unless you have some years of experience in squatting and know what you are doing)
I grew up overseas, and got poked on a regular.

Every time I traveled, we had to have "our shots."

These were 100% mandated by the country we were coming to. Since my "home base" was in Africa, we had some fun bugs, and I had to get a whole battery of shots.

I have several vaccination scars on my body, and I developed a lifelong fear of needles, as a result of the giant horse needles they used for the thick sludge they'd jab me with (which left me feeling like I'd lost a fistfight with a gorilla).

When I got my COVID vaccination shots, I didn't even feel it, as the needle was so tiny.
Languages like Ada provide hooks, for the runtime and compiler to collaborate together, because safety is more relavant than performance at all expenses.

Any variable declared as controlled type will have their "destructor" called just like C++, and that is what matters.

Like like RAII doesn't do anything, if the type is heap allocated and due to a bug not deleted or freed(), and someone has to write the destructor code, just like someone has to write the controlled type.
>Yes - "endo" means that in general. E.g. endomorphism.

From the ancient Greek "endo" meaning "within/inside" (as in "within the same group of things").

See also endogenous (endo + genesis, the latter the ancient Greek for born), meaning "born/created inside".
Yes, and if you allow it, an Electron app can just open the chrome debugger you know on the browser part of the app. There is a messaging system between that and the node part, to provide stuff like file access.
Humans make very good script engines, too. If you need to put out a script but vary it to get past simple algorithmic spam filtering, you can't beat running it through a good hardworking human who can type real fast and think on the fly. That human's doing the job of a bot, for all practical purposes: 'bot' is a job description, and humans can easily outperform computers for some bot purposes.

For now :)

> his discontempt for Germany

Germany didn't even exist during the Napoleonic campaigns so I doubt he had much contempt for it. The Napoleonic wars are actually a catalyst in the formation of modern Germany as a political entity by definitely ending the Holy Roman Empire and cementing Prussia as a major power in the region.

> His policy was the equivalent of when today's West is forcibly bringing "democracy" to Iraq/Afghanistan/..., instead of letting it arise organically

But this is it arising organically. For all intent and purpose France and Germany share globally the same political area. They are direct neighbor and their histories constantly intermingle. The French Revolution is not an exogenous event catapulted on Europe from outside. It is a product of the time and is directly linked to France position in what was already a very connected Europe.

As far as I can see only the BBC article is claiming Twitter is trying to label bots as "good" or "bad". The actual system appears to be for linking bot accounts to real accounts (ie. who made this bot) or simply label an account as "automated" to give better transparency, which to me sounds like an overall positive feature.
No. It is a fail safe, as opposed to a fail deadly.

Even by WWII the futility of trying to armor-plate aircraft carriers like battleships was already recognized. The British put some armor on their aircraft carrier flight decks to give some defense against land-based bombers, but in the Pacific, neither the US nor Japan did this, leading to outcomes like Midway.
> Where are all the great qt apps for it

This is really a valid question (not just for youtube-dl but for chat apps as well)... I guess the answer is : Qt being LGPL and the abundance of front-end webdevs
An idea that anyone is free to take: JSON-definable UI for command-line apps. Define checkboxes for flags, inputs for arguments, buttons for commands and file pickers / droppable wells for file input. Allow some customization of layout of these elements. Have in-app "store" to download these JSON definitions, maybe even suggest them based on `which` output. Electron app, obviously.
I didn't, nor did I imply.

OSHA is America-based, yes?
I'll be one of the few positive voices here, I guess.

JSON Schema is pretty good. It's a relatively simple, extensible, pragmatic specification that supports validating the kinds of data that JSON can express.

XML was killed by complexity, same as lots of technologies that preceded it, such as CORBA and SOAP. Developers don't like complexity. W3C tried to build an enormously complicated ecosystem of tools on top of XML. The specifications for XML Schema, WSDL, XSLT, etc. were gigantic. XML Schema and WSDL are both so big they are split into multiple parts. XSLT 3.0 is maybe 500 pages when printed. Many of these originated in the wrong sort of place, designed by committee and from inside big enterprises like IBM, rather than being adopted from evolving practices.

With XML out of the way, we still need a way to represent structured data, and it turns out JSON is pretty good for that. JSON has problems, but its simplicity is what lead to it becoming so prevalent in the first place. Now, we also need a way to define the structure and format of that data, and JSON Schema is pretty good for that. I think JSON Schema could have been a bit simpler, but it's still nowhere near to making the same mistakes as XML Schema.

The PM sensor I’m thinking of comes in it’s own packaging with a fan, and is usually attached to a PCB alone. I don’t see how most applications of it would require a recalibration.
Well let's turn the statement around then: can you create a OpenAPI YAML by hand then? At least with XML and XSD you have proper auto complete.

I really no need see the need to use a schema for JSON. The only thing it has going for it compared to SOAP/XML is the fact the it faster parsing and that it has no schema.
Anyone expecting the scientific establishment (or in fact anyone) to have a clear, consistent and coherent picture right the way through a pandemic caused by a novel virus is being unrealistic.
The advice changes as we know better what we’re up against and anyone who expects to have all the answers is, frankly a fool. Look at the data, follow the science and do the best you can.
>Became it's not about you, it's about everyone around you as a group. Those who are "comfortable catching the disease" are taking... Bla bla...

The Spider Anime adaption is sadly so badly realised. I recommend to look for the WebNovel (there is an english translation epub out there as a good starting point) or the light novel.

The main character thinks a bunch and speaks little, so anime and manga will miss out. The manga still gets its somewhat good adapted, but the anime is sadly just so bad that it shouldn't be mentioned.

For a good starter isekai anime, "Tensei Shitara Slime datta ken" | "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime!" is a much better anime and gets more points right.
Indeed, and although already possible in the very first C++ compilers, it is still foreign enough that many include it as part of modern C++.
Which is how you end up without a government for 589 days.
Many in here don't understand why you need this if it's a CLI app which obviously means you could probably monetise this and earn a living from it.
We’ve been through this here on HN. The board is designed around a chip that really wants to be a router. This is a bit expensive for a desktop workstation and will cater to people really determined to make this the year of the RISC-V desktop rather than the average developer, such as myself, who, while considering x86s disgusting, still buys them because they are cost-effective.

In .NET land there are Roslyn analysers that trigger a compiler error if you don't call using on a IDisposable type.
Ah yeah that’s a good example of something it can’t do well. Right now you have to give more context, e.g. “How many orders were placed by someone named Howard?” works for me.

Thanks for sharing about Seektable. Neat that you’ve already built out a search function, and even aside from that it looks like a really interesting tool.
FWIW this is extractive question answering so the output of the model can only be a span of the input paragraph.

SQuAD is the prototypical example of a dataset for this task, see https://rajpurkar.github.io/SQuAD-explorer/
Strongly agree - I've worked with ONC RPC, CORBA, SOAP, XML & XSD, XSLT etc. and I much prefer the relatively straightforward nature of JSON and JSON Schema. Yes it's not perfect - but for me it is more than good enough.

Edit: Of course, there is no direct equivalent of XSLT in the JSON world - which pretty much counts as a feature to me.

"[humans] don't like complexity"
I'll add my few experiences. The primitives of UI that we use in English are often untranslatable, or need really verbose translations simply because they've been inducted into English as part of the tech UI lexicon.

I speak four languages fluently, and 'OK', 'Abort', 'Retry' and 'Load' are some of the hardest things to translate.
That little fridge might be a lot less efficient than the big fridge. Some of them use as much or more energy than a big one. You might waste more energy running it and re-cooling it every time you open it for a drink than you would opening the big fridge for drinks even if it's more efficient under the test conditions they use to rate its efficiency.

The problem with COVID-19 all along has been that it is transmissible before being symptomatic. That is why it spread like wildfire when SARS and MERS did not. Listened to a good interview on NPR some months ago with a leading coronavirus expert who went over this in detail, but unfortunately can't remember her name or find the interview right now.

In any case, vaccines don't really change the equation here. Testing for temperature and symptoms with COVID have proven to be ineffective because asymptomatic transmission in the early stages is a thing with COVID-19 even without vaccination.

All of these critiques seem to amount to: If I do something dumb, then Python will break on me. While I respect that other languages have protections, it's sort of like asking "why doesn't Python have static types?".
This feels like it would be pretty dependent upon the number of people in the household. I'm sure our family has higher than average door openings because our fridge does not have in door water/ice dispensers.

If every JSON library actively chooses not to implement the JSON spec, that sounds like an issue with JSON to me.
In addition to that, the title is more descriptive of what other employees should expect from you.
A programmer is a typist, tasks in results out, no creativity or problem solving expected. Developer creates something new so a little more creative. Engineers engineer stuff they plan and make things work. Architect strictly plans.
I don't say thats what they do but a lot closer to what people expect.
