Fortran/assembly code dating from the 1960s, running electrical power distribution and commercial billing for a federal agency. That was in 1999-2000. As far as I know that system is still running today.

As an engineer, do you ever wonder who keeps your path clear, who makes sure you can focus on delivery, who advocates for meeting-free days, good work practices, or explains why those conference passes are money well spent?

Who helps push tools and services through procurement? Who spends hours working with HR re-working career ladders so engineers have options _other_ than becoming a manager once they reach a certain level of seniority? Who is your voice in the leadership team when they don't get what you do and just see you as a high cost? Who explains to senior management why that high cost is worth their money?

Speaking of "not doing real work", who do you think bargains to give you time to deal with that tech debt, instead of being death-marched to ship feature after feature? Features make money, right?

You think all that just happens automatically?

I was a hands-on coder for 2 decades. Now I've decided I want to spend my time helping developers earlier in their careers make the most of their time and their skills, I want to help them enjoy their work and grow their careers in a way that I couldn't do because the field had not matured as much as it has now.

But sure yeah, I'm not doing real work..
Im in a different field but I too have felt similarly.

I would suggest a couple of things:

- see a psychologist (not a psychiatrist, athough a psychiatrist may be step later on) - this should help you develop tools to make yourself better

- dont take work home, stop when you are tired - i saw that you fulfill multiple roles, could some of that be delegated? are you being compensated for those roles or did they just pile on over time? maybe its time to talk to your boss about it…

- take a real vacation, as in stay home and dont do anything

- excersize, avoid alcohol/substances
Axie Infinity is given as a "good" case? Axie Infinity is a Ponzi scheme.[1]

Matt Levine, Bloomberg: Doesn’t it feel like the dystopian future we deserve? Like in a decade everyone will make their living by steering colorful blob-like creatures around to acquire coins in a virtual world, but ownership of the colorful blob-like virtual creatures will be concentrated among a hereditary elite of people who, like, bought Dogecoin in 2014, and in order to scrape together enough to live on you will need to indenture yourself to a member of that elite, steering their blob-like virtual creatures around to earn coins for them and getting a few crumbs for yourself. And you’ll work 16-hour days in the Smooth Love Potions mines just to feed your children, but every once in a while in a rare free moment you will stop and ask yourself “wait why do our overlords want all these Smooth Love Potions anyway?”

Meanwhile the overlords will form a leisure class and devote themselves to philosophy and philanthropy. They’ll keep busy collecting non-fungible-token art and putting their names on virtual library buildings in the metaverse and writing manifestos about how cryptocurrency enhances human freedom and levels the playing field for everyone.

And maybe in some virtual library in the metaverse a disaffected philosopher of the overlord class will be busy creating a new theory, a theory about how the relentless accumulation of Axies in the hands of a smaller and smaller elite will lead to an increasingly disaffected proletariat of colorful-blob-like-virtual-creature steerers, who will one day, through the inexorable logic of metaversal history, rise up to throw off their chains and steer their colorful blob-like virtual creatures to tear down the virtual palaces of their virtual oppressors. Blob-like-creature steerers of the world unite, this new prophet will tell them, you have nothing to lose but your Axie Infinity Shards.

I assumed that the issue was less the scanning (which can be extremely high precision, and, in any case, the author had to do to get the half-tone image he was working with) but the printing. Once the image is resized and printed in the book, the offset between the dpi of the printer and the half-tone dots was going to introduce new artifacts.
It's irrelevant whether the technology is good or bad. There's nothing you can do to stop it happening, so do you want to complain, or do you want to embrace the change and stay ahead of the curve?

Interesting. I suspect the way it works, since the vehicles I'm thinking of have an additional set of stop lamps that illuminate, is that a 2nd set comes on and one or the other set flashes, but the others stay illuminate the whole time.
The problem I had with Leo was that it tried to be so many things. On another page, their site calls it:

- A fully-featured IDE, with many features inspired by Emacs.

- An outliner. Everything in Leo is an outline.

- A data manager, data manager and personal information manager.

- A powerful scripting environment.

- A tool for organizing and studying computer code.

It claims to be for programmers, authors, and web designers, but I couldn't figure out how to make it good for anything. That may well be my fault, but the experience was frustrating.
I’ve only worked with the chrome store which is obviously open source so static analysis doesn’t work here like it does there.
It’s a good question. My hot take is diff the syscalls. Easy enough to do. If you changed a bunch of them then big review. It’s not perfect but in 30 seconds I couldn’t think of anything better. My first hot take was app submit its own test scripts for an emulator but that could easily be gamed.
My psychologist urged me to listen to my body. If you find you haven't got an 8 hour day in you, do what you can in less and stop pretending.

Spend part of every day outside. Spend part of every week in the company of others.

I too was very concerned about if I could "stop" and worried about my mojo and work ethic which went missing around 10 years ago. You learn to cope, and I read enough financial investment advice to realize I need less than I feared post work, but probably I won't entirely retire: moving to a different intensity of work is the goal probably.

It helps to live in an economy with a public health service. Moving country in these times is hard, moving country also breaks social ties which are really important in older age but mid-50s you can make bridges to a new community. So, if you are in a place where health costs will be a major concern, think about international relocation. The longer you leave it the less likely it is to work.

They are literally the same thing.

The definition of what a "Blockchain" is has stretched so much, that having 1 mirror of a database would now fit people's definition of what a Blockchain is.

Once we get rid of proof of work, and transactions, the only thing we are left with is "a database which has mirrors".
They have a call scheduled with him, and have approved the app now. The App Store review process is a bit confusing - at first, he replied to the e-mail from the Reviewer, who replied saying there's nothing he can do. What he should have done is explained that there's a process by which you can get a different group, the App Review Board, to look at your appeal. That is different than replying in the "Resolution Center" or replying to the initial rejection e-mail.

If Apple was more developer-friendly, which they are absolutely not as a company, you would think that all replies to rejection e-mails should go through this board. But unfortunately, that's not the case - you have to go through a different process to submit an appeal, which is what it sounds like the blog poster has done (to get a call with them scheduled.)
Yea, I think putting it that way is an overreach of the law of excluded middle / bivalence.

Graham Priest's Introduction to Non-Classical Logic https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/an-introduction-to-nonc... is so good and deserves to have a SICP-like fandom. But it's certainly going to talk to you in terms of proof, formality and so on.
The post says the slide was missing context by stating it was only girls who already had body issues.

Numerous studies show a lot of girls have body image issues. Further, in this post they don’t even indicate what the “correct” percentage might be.

“ But what we can tell you is his portfolio is up nearly 20% since he started trading in June”

It’s a catchy headline but very misleading. Buffett has done a good job outperforming the market for the past like 50 years (idk the exact number but something like that. He reads through tons and tons of financial disclosures to understand how businesses operate and find businesses that are undervalued by the market, then snatches them up. It requires a lot of reading, learning and an incredible amount of patience and self control.

It’s a bit unfair to compare woth a hamster or monkeys and dart boards or anything like that. Yes the random picking of stocks or crypto’s or whatever can beat a lot of asset managers that don’t really know what they’re doing, but Buffett is different and has a track record to prove it
I grew up in Vladivostok, a city which was pretty much a garrison town, with most of population being military, and the rest all kinds of other frontiermen.
The St. Johns Bridge in Portland is also quite beautiful, but was designed by David B. Steinman, though McCullough put in a bid for the project as well. The St Johns is my favorite Oregon bridge (though McCullough's Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport is a very close 2nd). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Johns_Bridge
See also this article for the competition between Steinman and McCollough and some insights into ODOT Green: https://www.opb.org/news/article/oregon-bridges-green-paint-... (I believe there is an error in that article in the caption for the picture of the Astoria-Meglar bridge which they say was designed by McCollough - but it was built in 1966, much too late. Wikipedia says it was designed by ODOT/WDOT which is much more likely, I don't think McCollough would design something so ugly)

The Astoria-Megler bridge is probably the ugliest bridge in Oregon (in addition to just looking kind of flimsy). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astoria%E2%80%93Megler_Bridge

So, the “boss discovered”? In any case, this seems like another facet of the impression of privacy and solitude

A passable implementation of Lorie's UVC concept[1] is sitting right in our lap, it's just hardly ever put to use in this way, and it's considered by some not to be very sexy—or rather, it's popular to dump on it for various reasons. But you're probably using it right now to read this comment, and the reason is that its availability and reliability is a foregone conclusion by every stakeholder in this conversation—whether that be me, you, or our hosts involving Y Combinator &co. And with respect to the article, it's a foregone conclusion that it will also be involved in the tech tree of the example projects given. Jeff even mentions its longevity explicitly—in a comparison to Python, where Python is considered the worse of the two. How about just not depending on Python at all?

If you click through to Jeff's "makerss.py" script and look at the kinds of machinations that it does, consider whether this stuff could instead be taken care of directly in a "README.html" in the repo root. No implicit[2] assumptions about what software is installed on the machine in question—since it's using the UVC after all—and none of the Python 2/Python 3 fuss. (It'd have to forego the symlinking that makerss.py does near the end (currently line 1717 and 1719), but that should arguably already be handled elsewhere, anyway.)

This is absolutely perfect for a use case that I've seen a lot: shared test accounts. Eg our app connects to external service X, so we have a staging account set up such that the staging version of our app can operate. But service X values security and requires 2fa on all accounts. This is really annoying, especially if service X is expensive and charges per seat. We don't want to pay for a seat for all of our developers just for our test account, so we share credentials, which is a pain in the ass with required 2fa. A slack-based shared 2fa account would be perfect for this.

I'd be pretty hesitant to use something like this for accounts I consider sensitive, though, because

A. It's too easy to accidentally add the wrong person to slack, and ideally not everyone at the company has access to all accounts anyway, and

B. It's putting more trust into a third party (tfa.one) than I'd be comfortable with, given how new it is.

But again, perfect for our test accounts, and cheap enough that I don't even need to think about it.

This is precisely the method used to undo screening and half-toning in one of the labs in 6.003 (the intro signal processing course at MIT). The technique works astoundingly well for its straightforwardness, and the exercise can be a lot of fun.

“Teens say they like using instagram” doesn’t make it not toxic.
I went to a private hospital ER with an infection that was spreading five times over two weeks before being admitted. At that point I needed surgery.

Public isn't any better. My wife is allergic to codeine and had to stay awake all night after an injury that left her hospitalized. Why? Because doctors kept trying to give her medication that she's allergic to. The doctors and nurses made fun of her for being in pain and refusing medicine. It took a specialist coming in the next day and chewing them out to give her anything. They wouldn't even give her an extra ibuprofen.

Quality of care here is unbelievable.
No it isn't, you're just deciding to get offended by a reasonable question.

It's actually very relevant and common practice around the world for people whose ancestors were displaced or wronged to feel the need to seek reparations or have some kind of restoration or acknowledgement.

In Australia since you bring it up, there actually has been extremely significant flows of people. Notably, Europeans displaced a lot of Aboriginal people from their land, and similarly took various historical artifacts. In recent times there has been a trend to return those and return some claim to the land, to the people whose descendants were replaced. The idea that someone can just sit on the land and say nope that's old history I own the land now your ancestral home and your great great grandfather's spear was never yours anyway so I'm keeping it, is just weird. It's completely normal to feel, and many people do have a deep connection to their ancestors, even if you don't.

Or apply similar to Palestine and Israel. Or any number of similar cases around the world.

Please do, you have a single example of Iran and another that is the complete opposite of what I proposed. Then compare that to the powers US has had conflicts with during the 20/21st century, either directly or by proxy.

The point was also 'best defence', not 'option that completely negates any possible US threat'.

On odds, what country will most likely come into conflict with the US on probability, one of authoritarian rule or one of elected leaders?

Somehow I suspect that she wrote things a good bit spicier than that her job was boring. And I suspect that her firing wasn't just a result of her boss being so offended that she called the job boring.

She probably wrote a bunch of things that were less than kind about the personal habits and personalities of her co-workers. Would you want to work with somebody like that, always wondering if you might be the next person targeted?

Sorry, downvoted you even if I'm aware of such companies being extremely cheap (open question about ethics of who hires them), but no report in TV nor newspapers that I ever watched/read ever mentioned such strong words like "slave" nor "starve".

It seems like it isn't so much "discovered" as that she made the boneheaded decision to talk to the press for an article about the blog that would include her real name and the name of her company.

Doesn't like every company ever tell you that you are not permitted to make statements to the press on the behalf of the company, and that all press inquiries should be directed to the PR department? I thought this was too obvious to need stating, but I guess it isn't to everyone. Not to say you should never do it of course, just that if you do, you should take appropriate precautions and be prepared for the potential consequences.
It's a case of "correlation does not equal causation"

Neither the survey nor the slides suggested that Instagram was the root cause of the issues, but it does appear to be one of the triggers for people with these issues. Obviously, Instagram isn't the only media that aggravates those issues, as print media, television, movies, reality television, and any other source of imagery would be expected to induce similar problems in those who are susceptible. This problem existed in vulnerable populations long before social media was a thing.

Normally HN is very quick to point out when sources are conflating correlation and causation, but these slides were immediately assumed to indicate causality when in reality they only showed correlation.
They're all MLMs, may as well pick a popular one.
