> but if you are virtualising macOS-on-macOS, there is little reason to.

Not needing to run a kext just to retrieve a known hardcoded string seems like a very good reason.
Using virsh and virt-manager instead of qemu.
> But it would be easy to design qemu to have 1000+ config options which are on/off/auto settings, and the 'auto' mode is autodetected based on which OS is probably running.

That would add a ton of new responsibility to a codebase that so far has been doing none of this. It would have to be aware of different operating systems, operating system image formats for autodetection, OS releases and their corresponding quirks, ... And some way to test this, and test this automatically, so that this stuff doesn't immediately rot away. People would begin to depend on this, and any change in this behaviour would be a breaking bug, and would introduce implicit stability contracts for complex scenarios.

Let qemu be low-level emulator and make zero assumptions about how it's being used - that makes life so much easier for those of us who integrate it into non-standard scenarios. Libvirt gives you everything needed for typical 'I wanna run a commercial OS in a VM on my desktop/server', and can afford to make assumptions about its usage scenario.
I think I somewhat disagree with 22. Not specifically in terms of YAML or what is categorized as configuration (basically anything?). I think a well designed data model is much more productive and simple than arbitrary code.
Being able to use both chrome and firefox extensions and having an iOS and macOS app is wonderful :-)
> Humans are built for problem solving and the struggle and the adventure of challenge.

I think that's only true for some people. More generally we need to feel useful. For many people (women especially) that means caring for people, making sure they are well fed, warm etc. not problem solving or adventure.

> developers who work for big companies will get jealous and they will reject you. If you're very good, you need to pretend to be mediocre and above all; compliant.

To add to what another poster said, it's not jealousy.

Big companies move slow because generally, to get big, they had to be successful (to some extent) and changing too much all at once is a risk that the bureaucracy isn't always comfortable with.

One of my old managers (I work in "enterprise") used to say things like "the efficiencies that this solution will bring the company..." which was just a euphemism for more folks getting laid-off (happened all the time, and glassdoor was full of warnings about this) or more jobs being shipped to our offshore units or even down-sizing in our offshore units.

I think it's reasonable, at least in the US, where healthcare & retirement & welfare is so tightly coupled with employment, for folks in big companies to be wary of innovation. They might want their job to be easier, sure, but too easy and they could be out of a job (for example, if the workload that previously took 5 people can now be managed by 2 or 3).

We're building software for people.
The issue with mandatory taxation is that the powerful in society will always corrupt the system somehow to pay what they are happy to pay (paying taxes or doing charity can be good investments reputation-wise) while everyone else will have to pay "their fair share".

As soon as everyone start using loopholes they will simply lobby to make it harder, to keep the powerful safe and everyone else paying.
From anecdotal evidence, I'm pretty sure the religious route you recommend won't work.

The only way to make things fair in terms of taxes would be to have zero mandatory taxes. With zero taxes there is no-one benefitting from corrupting politicians.
Career politicians would not exist anymore because there would be no more money in it.

Without taxes you're left with the problem of organising society without a central entity, eg. by having private police and protection, private healthcare, private education, private roads and by supporting those without means through voluntary charities instead of mandatory taxes.
MBAs are worthless vs MBAs are overvalued and overproduced.
I can assure you having helped small businesses in todays world that running your own website in the era of nation states battling to set up botnets has dramatically increased the complexity of what this entails today versus in the 90s.

Immediately, when we connect web servers they are pentested and port scanned.
OK, but if doing this subdivision well is prohibitively hard, that does not not make the article dishonest about these groups. It does not "pretend that immunity due to prior infection is due to the vaccine".
The last place I rented (about 5 years ago), in a major metro area, my landlord would only accept a check from a local bank. I mostly used on-line bank accounts, but I had one account at a CU with a branch 30 minutes away. They would drive to the CU to deposit the check each month.
I'm also curious about the industry standard regarding this. I've taken a look at coinpayments; I'm curious about what you guys think about it.
> Humans were wired to be told stories and videogames just don't do that.

What??? There are plently of video games that are all about telling a story. Less mainstream than shooters sure, but adventure games and "walking simulators" are hardly unheard of at this point.
In an ideal world you're right. However, points 4 & 5 are the limiting factors.

The reason why elite MBAs make sure to ensure the success of each other is to make sure they're also given the leg up when looking for opportunities.

If a Oxbridge MBA judges a compatriot solely on merits and doesn't extend an opportunity then it cheapens their own value.

Perpetuating the privilege is the point. It's the only reason why I would do an MBA - for the blatant, proud and culturally accepted nepotistic advantage.
The one thing that is lacking from Safari is extensions. If this does what I believe then it will be my main browser. Safari adblocking sucks atm.
I think over-asking for that sort of work week isn't productive to be honest. And I'm an anti-work kind of person. The real problem is that modern work doesn't reflect the actual labor involved. I don't know how many hours I've wasted on meetings where a simple email and a 15 minute follow-up for questions would've been sufficient to get any issues out of the way. I'll grant that some labor is just meetings to debate the course of a business but beyond that as a software developer my job really should be about what is getting priority and then doing that priority queue. The meeting schedule for me should be 1 or 2 meetings a week total (not exceeding 45 minutes total) to set the work queue for said products then the rest should be me doing the work with some time to get help from other developers who have expertise in something I'm unfamiliar with. The total hours for that? Probably 30-40 a week tops. Anything past 40 is just screaming for contractors.
Now you know what working with WiX is like.

Yeah and actually some companies allow you to have unpaid time off (like 1 year) after you've been with them for x amount years. Companies know people need a break.
I got dinged in a 360 review by peers for not advocating for my views more.

I feel that if I present what I think we should do, and why I think it's the best alternative, I shouldn't have to get into a shouting match or even a debate. I don't take it personally if people disagree with me.

If I've got the best ideas and my managers are ignoring them for the loudest ideas, that's on them, not me.

Same here. Been working professionally as a dev for 20 years and each year I care less and less about changing other people’s minds about architecture.

Just this year I was working with another team that wanted to move to an architecture that I thought was overengineered for their specific problems. They shared with me an article about some company that was using it. I explained my experiences with such a pattern and where the pitfalls were, hoping their lead dev would think about it or discuss the pros and cons. Well, it was met with silence. They went ahead with their plan anyway.

Too many times that’s happened in the work world, so at least now I don’t invest a lot of effort into changing minds. Best advice

I’ve learned these last few years is don’t tie yourself to your work. If you’re opinionated about how to do things because you love designing software, that’s great, but you’re setting yourself up to be disappointed by how things really get done.
I don't know. I have several friends who went to Harvard Business School and it seems like a degree from HBS or equivalent is a requirement to get into certain fields. It's hard to get into private equity for example. I'm sure someone will reply and say "I ran a lemonade stand, now work at a top PE firm." But top schools are a core feeder. Likewise into consulting -- hard to get a job at Bain or BCG without a degree from HBS.
You might like a programming methodology based on elementary school mathematical models (take Clojure as example)----The Grand Unified Programming Theory: The Pure Function Pipeline Data Flow with Principle-based Warehouse/Workshop Model.

Based on the simplest and most vivid mathematical model is its biggest advantage.

Its mathematical prototype is the "water in/out of a pool" problem in elementary school mathematics. When we increase the number of pools and water pipes, the combination of different types of liquids, the time and speed of input and output, and other factors in this mathematical problem. It forms a warehouse/workshop model in the form of a dynamic tree Gantt chart. It should be the IT architecture with the simplest and most vivid mathematical prototype.

It is an epoch-making theoretical achievement in the IT field, it surpasses the "von Neumann architecture", unifies the IT software and hardware theory, and raises it from the manual workshop production theory level to the modern manufacturing industry production theory Level. Although the Apple M1 chip has not yet fully realized its theory, Apple M1 chip has become the fastest chip in the world.

It has a wide range of applications, from SOC to supercomputer, from software to hardware, from stand-alone to network, from application layer to system layer, from single thread to distributed, from general programming to explainable AI, from manufacturing industry to IT industry.

> On that note, any nomads here on HN willing to share how it's been?

Preface: it's kind of scary to think you're a trope as this hit the mark for most things. But despite having spent many years in Boulder where I went biking and hiking extensively I still miss having proper gyms open as nothing will replace that feeling and routine for both my physical as well as mental health.

I've been in Croatia since May during the pandemic, and to be honest it really depends on what part you are in and the amount of friction you encounter. It was so much easier handling things in the South (Dalmatia) than it is in the North where I'm told I am the first Digital Nomad and I keep getting sent back for more processes.

It helped that my landlord worked in the tourist ministry in the South when I came in May, but overall this has been the most absurd experience I've had since I've been in this country and I first visited in 2012 before it entered the EU and it's made worse by the fact that they think they are upholding to EU standards somehow.

Things are as normal as they can be given the worries of the Delta variant and in the Southern tourist areas some clubs were trying to re-open but kept getting shutdown or were forced to do so on a curfew by police into late July, the restaurants had indoor and outdoor dining. Public transportation was available for the most part with pretty standard service. It was like 75% pre-covid.

Croatia is a tourist economy and things are starting to wind down so less things are open, but to be honest, other than the gyms I'm not to worried as I'm really not here to party it up like I had in previous years. I'm more interested in taking time to enjoy and absorb the culture that I fell in love with when I first starting traveling extensively when I was in my mid 20s.

FYI: I spent time this summer in Germany visiting a friend on a tourist visa not DN and I couldn't wait to get the hell back and return to Croatia because of the amount of needless bureaucracy that was obviously of no practical use other than forced compliance, however, in N. Croatia it's like they took the worst parts of Italy and made it somehow even worse and expect you to just keep coming back.

I'll spare you (some of) the details of all the bureaucratic things, but if anyone from YC hopes to come to Croatia stay in Dalmatia, or have a lawyer on standby--I met a local who was studying to be one at the police station and it was super useful. Dalamtia is not only favorite part of Croatia for food and cultural reasons but it's come to be my place to regain sanity despite all the chaos in the World. And they're opening a digital nomad village this weekend to prove why I love it there [0].

OP said hospitalizations has reduced to 1/6th.

Unless you can prove to me that 5 of every 6 doctors and nurses have quite due to vaccin mandates i think we are in better shapes as before

I feel like once you’ve worked on a few projects the desire to “reinvent” the wheel is quickly destroyed. The main thing they never teach in school and you really can’t understand until your doing it is maintenance.

Projects are like a balancing act where you need to weigh the pros and cons of every choice and choose the best one. The hard part is being able to do that and do it in a reasonable amount of time.
I think software is human expression. It can be a social good or a business driver. But it does not have to be. It can have no users, no IO or never run on a computer and still encode deep meaning.

Does it need to be social to be useful? That is a value system.

Many here communicate (beautiful) value systems, and that's great! But ideas and software can transcend those.
I can’t prevent someone from robbing me, just make it harder for them to do so and have legal recourse if they do it anyway.

This still counts as “having control”.
MBA wasn't the right choice for me, but it worked out great for a sibling.

Having top companies come to campus to recruit new hires is a level of connection that is simply not available elsewhere for the vast majority of people. HN is seemingly full of people needing to beat back LinkedIn recruiters with a stick, but that is not a typical situation for a mid-career professional.

For me, I just couldn't stomach the idea of six-figure debt and making no money (summer internship aside) for 2 years. That would weigh on my mind too much, and likely affect my performance and enjoyment of the program.
literally every other factor.
What benefits does this give me over Safari or Firefox? Not really an Adblock or extension user. The websites I frequent don’t have invasive ads and the one’s that do get put into reader view, even if it means losing part of the content or weird picture placement. If you have invasive ads I’m not coming back.
> very ordered things (crystals) have low entropy

My understanding of "IQ" (although there seem to be multiple definitions) is that is it supposed to be the purely physical (mental?) trait i.e. unaffected by environmental factors.

Although I suppose whether that is the case is an open question (for me at least, unless anyone familiar with the topic can comment?).
I have been happy so far with Adguard. It's not ublock origin but it will do the job.
Hi all, I'm one of the maintainers of xterm.js, open to answer any questions!

Here's a little history on the project, some of which is already called out in other comments:

- Fabrice Bellard created jslinux[1].

- Christopher Jeffrey (@chjj) forked the terminal component into term.js[2], this eventually became unmaintained.

- Paris Kasidiaris (@parisk) forked it into xterm.js for use in SourceLair[3].

- I showed up around 2016 when investigating options for VS Code's integrated terminal and eventually joined as a maintainer, spending a good deal of my time at work on the project since then.

We currently have 5 active maintainers in the xterm.js team as well which I'd like to call out because the project has only come this far as a result of everyone's efforts.

Most nomads are straight, and the prompt was:

> Who is the average nomad?

While "nomads are disproportionately x, y, and z" would also be a great follow-up, "the average nomad" is separate and it's just as interesting to think about the archetype of 10,000 nomads put together!

I don't see why you would be angry at this.

After listening into their earnings call, their CEO really pushes aside quick profits (such as raising prices) and prefers long-term stability and keeping their existing clients happy. The investors wanted TSMC to raise chip prices and expand their operations.

I love to cook, and I make home-made meals from fresh ingredients regularly, and it does take a lot of time. I will often spend 3-5 hours on the weekend cooking meals for the family as well, but since I find it relaxing and fun, I don't feel like I'm "losing" that time. Well, usually. I do keep some frozen meals or other similar stuff around because I don't always have the time or sometimes don't feel like making something fancy.

On Wednesday, I made a stir-fry with boneless chicken breast , broccoli, poblano peppers, canned mandarin oranges, canned pineapple, garlic and ginger paste. It took a little more than an hour for this "quick" meal. I should have chopped a couple of onions, but I was getting lazy.

After reading your post, I'm realizing that I spend a _lot_ of time chopping vegetables. I have a food processor from 25+ years ago, but I can't find all the parts to it. I think it's time to find those, or just replace it.
Thirty years ago at my first job, a senior dev told me "2% of what we do is interesting. 98% is sort, select, sum."

(I think then that was more or less true, but the numbers in the industry as a whole have gotten a lot better in the past 30 years. And I've gotten better jobs.)

> wlroots was my choice, because I like the guys and worked with them on the project. Other libraries (most relevant probably libweston) are a bit more "fully featured" but also slightly less flexible.

Is that still the case today? I mean, I haven't really spent any considerable time researching the Wayland landscape, but I was under the impression that wlroots gained considerable momentum in recent years while weston is still just the reference compositor, but not really used in any well-known Wayland compositor.
Why not use more traditional commercial paper / US based short term loans / govt. bonds / etc. directly then? I mean you can rephrase it but you quickly end up with reinventing the wheel - an old, established, well-regulated, secured and guaranteed wheel.

The stereotype of check cashing places as loan-shark-esque is generally wrong - I recommend reading The Unbanking of America by Lisa Servon to get a real understanding of the industry.

For a poor person, a check-cashing place is generally the cheapest and most straightforward way to cash checks (and receive other basic financial services) with clear, reasonable pricing. If you're poor, acquiring the same services from a bank is not only vastly more expensive, it's also much less transparent in terms of how and when fees will be assessed.

Often this confusion stems from people who aren't that familiar thinking they're the same as payday loan places, which are just legal loan sharks and designed to trap people in an endless cycle of debt.

None of this is anything against postal banking, which I'm hugely supportive of.
