Just remember the requirements for Windows 11 and know that 90% of the machines out there cannot run it because it needs TPM 2.0 and the latest CPUs to work or even install.

I got $2000 saved up for a Windows 11 Pro PC when they come out, my current PC will get Debian and act as a server.

Some of the most interesting projects I stumble on as part of the public sector digitalisation in EU are made in Ruby on Rails (Southern Europe, especially Spain/Portugal), PHP (all of EU) and Python (Eastern Europe).

Having recently switched most of our internal development from C# to Python and Powershell I get it. I can’t imagine not building small web apps in Python and I imagine PHP and RnR are exactly the same experience of getting things to simply work extremely fast.
> People shouldn't be shocked when there's money on the line.

Well, I guess that’s that then. We might as well get rid of human ethics and morals, trust based systems, and justice.

Apparently, capitalism and the love of money is all we need!
All those kind of charts have the same problem. It’s like asking “what food do people like the most?”, and answering “rice” because so many people eat it every day. The problem is that the question is so vague you can answer it many different ways, and all of the answers are correct.

What people usually mean when they use those stats is “look how popular my choice of language is”.

This could be good for the world when it comes to climate change, nuclear being the most powerful way to cut emissions and China being one of the biggest polluters right now.
This feels like the idiom of 'those who can't do, teach' except its...

puts "those who aren't building interesting systems in #{RUBY_ENGINE} write comments about #{RUBY_ENGINE}'s demise"

No one cares what you are developing your product in. Maybe some intern during an interview is salivating about your $BESPOKE_IMPLMENTATION, but at the end of the day, Ruby and other dynamic languages solved a very explicit problem of "hey compiled languages are great and I can design a very high level system and then needle down into whatever I want to behave in very explicit ways, but damn I want to get this done in like 30 minutes instead of over 3 days"

I feel like anyone who needs a blog post about some sorceress' concoction of systems to feel validated about making something that solves a problem, especially a problem of theirs - even if it's for your grandma, or a few close friends, or even just yourself... you just don't get it. waxing philosophically about tech is fun and gets any number of rocks off but at the end of the day, if you love scheme and know how to whip up something in 30 seconds that would take an hour in java 17 pro max (ellison edition), go for it, publish it, run it on your raspberry pi. This fixation on chasing the dragon every 15 minutes is a complete waste of time and is effectively super counterproductive.

How many breaking changes has node gone through? Our boy Ryan Dahl literally reimplemented a JS runtime as Deno in Rust because he was like "ya i made node and it was cool for a bit but this is getting out of hand" Great! Use Deno! Use Node! Use Fortran if you're productive in it. The idea that you have to curate what shit you're learning because of a predicted decline in the ecosystem of said shit is such a waste of time and I shake my head in sadness at anyone who isn't learning something because they fear it might be deprecated tomorrow. Be the change you want to see in the world. If anything, the APIs youre using in $POPULAR_LANGUAGE will be deprecated and the APIs that are not getting blog posts on HN are actually still stable. Run it in a container! Who cares!

You know what will be not important? deep ponderences of some tech rolled out over an API like AWS Lambdas or Google's AMP stuff, or React, or Angular (remember that? Lmao! Only a few years ago!). Focus on fundamentals and avoid the constant churn of new features that get deprecated 6 quarters from now.
Agreed, however It also has plenty of coal and cheap labor, which makes coal fired power plants economic.
I like it but started dual booting with Ubuntu for better UNIX understanding.
I've configured my own and work systems for a few years using Puppet and Ansible, and I have to say Nix is miles ahead of them both.

- Actually reproducible builds, as opposed to "only if all the external factors involved, like time and third party packages, are identical between builds". One thing this enables is building your system packages in your automated pipeline and just downloading the resulting cache.

- Much more compact than either. For an example, the last state of my own Puppet configuration was [1] - five directories with hundreds of files. The current state is 13 files total, only one of which contains the Nix code actually needed to set up dozens of packages and services for a full desktop OS. That file clocks in at 346 lines, and comes in at a fraction of the size and complexity of the less featureful Puppet.

- Nix shell[2], where you can build a set of packages for use within a single project without having to worry about it borking other projects (like adding things to $PATH).

- Very few shell commands are ever needed.

- Built-in features I haven't seen in either of the other systems: allowing unfree packages either globally or individually, setting up UEFI, LUKS and LVM with a handful of lines, and stopping the compilation immediately if there's a problem rather than continuing by default.

The only caveat is the Nix language itself. The whole thing might be more complicated than the Puppet language, but you can see for yourself that the current configuration[3] isn't exactly rocket science.

Does that include social / professional networking / advertising / marketing / promoting / etc. Or just technical aspects? (Notice you said about 20% on existing businesses)
Yeah, 24 work days, which is roughly 5 weeks (with weekends) . But the other part is not fully correct. Yes, the law is pro-employee, and you have the _right_ to take 2 weeks of continous vacation (12 free days). But you are also _required_ to do so when possible:

> Kann der Urlaub aus diesen Gründen nicht zusammenhängend gewährt werden, und hat der Arbeitnehmer Anspruch auf Urlaub von mehr als zwölf Werktagen, so muß einer der Urlaubsteile mindestens zwölf aufeinanderfolgende Werktage umfassen.

https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/burlg/__7.html

I was really surprised when I first learned from my manager that it's a two-way law (right and obligation). But then again it is really a pro-employee law, basically forcing you to rest from your work.
I did not have facebook account and created one recently. Everyone whom I added was not in US and was not remotely connected to US politics but for some reasons facebook thought I would like "Briertbart" and some anti vaxx related pages and posts. Keep in mind that I have no messages sent and other info and use facebook inside a mozilla container, one top of that I am not even anti vaxxer. But still they promoted all those things to me.

I worked at MailChimp for a few years. I most recently worked at a company that went through an IPO that I had equity in. When deciding to join my recent company, equity was the largest factor in my move.

MC’s benefits are great and at the time were top-tier in Atlanta. They are cash/401k heavy and offer great profit sharing incentives. They also make it abundantly clear that they don’t offer equity and when I negotiated my non-MC offer that I ended up accepting, they were clear that they could not match my equity. They even acknowledged that if I was willing to take a risk with the equity it would likely be the advantageous move to make.

Nonetheless, during my time at MC Ben/Dan repeatedly boasted about turning down offers to sell and repeated they were never intending to go that (or the publicly traded) route. This ultimately factored into my decision to leave, as it never appeared I would have a personal stake in the company. I hope other employees interpreted this in a similar manner and I do believe everyone had abundant opportunities to do so.

In the end and in hindsight, I’m happy with my decision to leave and it did pay out. Nonetheless, I do still believe MC is a great company and despite the founders somewhat selling an incorrect vision, are still acting in good faith. I don’t believe they “withheld equity” as they made it explicitly clear it was never offered, or was ever going to be, but I do see how the boasting of never selling out could be interpreted poorly now in hindsight.
This is such a great point. No modern "democratic" government will risk nuclear development. It's far too scary to general population. Even if they do some how invest in nuclear technology, no one would want it in their back yard.
> So why didn't you quit?

just to play the devil's advocate - the person from the website has to look after his sick wife. Quitting, and looking for another job, while having to do so, is probably going to be harder than asking for leave from an employer.

If you meant, why didn't he quite earlier, before the wife's illness - i would presume that atlassian is the best option he had at the time, and that's why he didn't quit!
Meanwhile, updates work for me but don't ask for user consent after downloading them.

It’s not really fluff, it’s circus maximus because when you paralyse the masses with entertainment they won’t have time to realise how terrible their lives are compared to the elite.
Look back at the case I pointed to, United States v. Reynolds. You cannot get a much more concrete injury than, "These people died because the US government made them go into a plane that they failed to maintain."

As for your legal theories, they are not exactly accurate. You claim that the government could not use information because they did not have it. But, as in the 1886 case of Boyd v. United States, the government had and tried to use information. It was only on appeal that it was ruled that information that they had from violations of the Constitution could not be used, and therefore decisions depending on that information had to be reversed.

Still the case law did tend strongly to concerns about a practical injury of trespass or a lawsuit.

As for your passing comment about Roe v. Wade, that is disingenuous to the point of outright dishonesty. The reason why that decision is currently on shaky legal ground is that decades of concerted effort have resulted in the appointment of judges chosen for their politics over the quality of their legal reasoning, specifically to overturn that decision.

Whether you agree or disagree with the decision and its reasoning, there is no question that it is an obvious and great imposition on a pregnant woman to force her to continue her pregnancy. The consequences include restrictions on her actions, buying new clothing, frequently a period of being unable to work, intense hormones, common pain and injury during childbirth, with a non-negligible chance of death at the end of it. (Currently that has a 0.017% chance.) Claiming that there is no injury here is ridiculous.
How do you deal with things like negative thoughts? I find I am an 'ideas' guy, but will instantly shoot myself in the foot by researching similar services that do better than a one-man-team could do. I also have severe trouble dedicating myself to a complete-project - even if I push past the first issue mentioned above - and will really battle my inner demons who think supplying an MVP is 'good enough'.

I suppose my question is how you fight your mental battles.
Why Chinese companies shall consider Swiss footprints
I mean "the thing that gets you the most" is pretty much true for literally almost anything. You can go to a store and pick up an TIG welder or a chainsaw, or all kinds of other things no problem, no question, that arguably require much more in the way of practice and training than a firearm.

That said, I don't really get what you think licenses and such accomplish. A gun is 19th century tech that you make in a garage. Anybody who really wants one can make one, all the registration and licensing is mostly a burden on people who are mostly harmless. And it's very post-facto/pre-cog-ish.
This argument has to be the worst out of all the anti gun arguments.

We going to ban rope next? Ban trains, since it's a bit too easy to step in front of one? Knives?

If someone wants to kill their self, there are innumerable easy ways to do so. It's even likely in most households you could hang yourself quicker than you could get to your gun, if that's really what you wanted.

Giving up the right to own a gun so that someone who wants to commit suicide is forced to use another means is such a terrible argument.
Didn't fit the narrative.
You don't feel the tyranny unless it's directed at you. I don't feel the tyranny of vaccination mandates because I got vaccinated, I presume you wouldn't feel the tyranny of Texas's abortion ban unless you're a pregnant woman.
Equity is an optional, rare thing to be offered. And you should never trust a founder's / C-level's promises.
Likely true (I don’t know the source you’re referencing) given cancer risk associated with coal etc. But single nuclear events and fears associated with them stand out to voters, long term health implications of coal or other adverse effects of other power alternatives likely do not.

Agreed. While the comp situation at MailChimp was subpar due to no-equity component, it isn’t fair to blame them for the outcome of this story here.

There were no lies. The employees werent offered equity that ended up being worth nothing. They got job offers that stipulated X cash with no equity, and they willingly and knowingly accepted those offers, and they got compensated as promised. I fail to see how MailChimp is at fault here.

The fact that there is Microsoft/Google/etc. and tons of other companies in the vicinity that pay way more, and grandparent poster’s friends still were staying there despite the poster’s urging and advertising, tells more about those friends than Mailchimp.
Not if you had limited RAM. Less than 4GB was unusable.
Rails doesn't scale? Github's the largest code repository site in the world. Stripe's one of the largest fintech sites in the world. Shopify is one of the largest ecommerce sites in the world. There's also Airbnb, TripAdvisor, many others that are huge.

Also, you can write shitty, slow code in any language. You can make too many calls to the DB in any language. You can also scale to Google size in any language.

Python isn't a quick language. Also most of the ML bits are C++ bits. Ruby is faster than Python for most things. But Google (and others) have done well with Python (and other bits). Facebook got huge with PHP (which no one truly likes).

Ruby is a fine language (also very pleasant to use), Rails powers many huge companies, sometimes nitpicks are just that.
> It's wise to launch on only one platform to start, focus on there, learn, and then launch on alternative platforms. Particularly if you're developing everything native.

Particularly when the app in question is more technically demanding and has greater need to use platform facilities.

If it's a bog standard CRUD app, that might be reasonable to take multiplatform on launch day, but on the other hand something like touch friendly version of Final Cut Pro would be much more challenging to have both iOS and Android versions of right out of the gate.

It is, but discounting PHP because of WordPress from that graph is still interesting - I doubt there are free one-click installs for ASP.Net like there are for WordPress for example, but are there for Ruby on Rails?
Probably not. Duplexes are attached and usually have one owner.

They were popular in many cities in the 70s as starter homes. The idea was that you'd buy the whole thing, then rent out one half to help offset your mortgage.
It's important to point out Fukushima was supposed to be decommissioned long time before it's accident. Unfortunately they had to keep it going as there was nothing to take it's place to generate the energy needed.
A lot of programmers get bored with normal exercises, but a lot of us seem to have affinity for both dance (especially swing) and rock-climbing. The correlation is uncanny, in my experience. Both of these are more mentally stimulating than most exercises, so it makes a certain amount of sense, though dance might be difficult right now with covid.

Personally I also enjoy just taking walks. I can daydream the whole time and it breaks up the work day. It may not seem like much, but if you walk for 30 minutes a few days a week it adds up.

If you're already battling burnout, don't turn exercise into another source of pressure. Just see if you can find something physical that you enjoy for its own sake, and then roll with it.
If you want to train your reaction speed and reflexes or just want to check the speed of your reaction - you found the right app. It has everything that you need to improve your reflexes and reaction! Believe us, training can also be fun when it’s done like the game

> Windows 10 fixed it

Good joke. There is nothing I can do in Windows 10 that Windows 7 didn't do better.

From start bar search to window decorations. Windows 10 has actively gotten in the way of what was a great practical experience.

Windows 11 makes the window decorations a little better (still inconsistent with poor design choices), but adding a bunch of crap that I can't opt out of on install (like teams, skype and whatever other bloatware is installed).

I have to use an actual debloating script on fresh Win 10 installs, the script only gets bigger with Windows 11.

Come on Microsoft...
Just wondering what type of thing were you doing that would make you self conscious about your location? Please don't read anything much into this, just interested in what type of things people feel uncomfortable about having recoded.

For me the most uncomfortable thing I ever did was itemise how much money I had spent at different outlets. I discovered that I'd spent an incredible amount of money scuba diving over a 12 month period. Not something that I wanted to share with my partner.
Is a fresh install not an option for the system you're describing? I'm not suggesting that it's a sane thing to have to do, but after a couple of hours of resesrching the problem with no leads it seems like the best choice.
