Thank you. Now I am fully convinced that "printed money" and "money printing" is a meaningless term that means absolutely nothing.

Before that I assumed that there was some logic behind the term but it is clear that there isn't.
4/15 bosses I had over the last 15 years could fit that profile
Those people need to be copying, otherwise the reinterpretation might not be working. The char data might not be correctly aligned, for example. Recently went through a big nightmare where a C++ codebase that had accreted on x86 was thought to be ported to another platform where alignment actually matters and there were all manner of rare low-level malfunctions stemming from the idea that you can just wantonly cast a char* to structured data.

Having been on the hiring side and interviewed plenty of juniors I've found there seems to be a general lack of "try" anymore. I remember when I started 10 years ago I felt like the average junior I was competing against was a very talented problem solver.

Perhaps I'm just being given bad candidates. The majority of them seem to come from bootcamps these days rather than Bachelors or Associates programs. They're trained in a single stack and without the formality of problem solving you learn in a degree program the average bootcamp developer seems to be too linearly tracked to really succeed at least in the mid-grade startup world I am in. They're capable of brain dumping cracking the coding interview, can solve very trivial (e.g. linear) problems, but when asked to think outside the box they seem unable to because it doesn't fit into any nice little box they learned at the bootcamp. I suppose this could also be a function of people trying to "break into" programming from a field that is completely unrelated expecting easy money and a comfortable job. I suspect it's a shell shock for them as much as it is for me the interviewer.

Bootcamps, in my opinion, had good intentions but ended up not only lowering the quality of developer but also increasing the pool of applicants. After getting burned by say 30% of your junior hires it makes sense you'd be more cautious. For every solid graduate from a program in IT or CS, there are 20 "graduates" of a 4 week, extremely expensive, and borderline worthless bootcamp program. Programming is quickly going the way real estate did in the early 00's. The experienced guys will continue to make money and the people trying to get into the industry make almost nothing. ABET accredits CS programs, perhaps there should be an accrediting body to stop all these fly by night money sinkholes we call bootcamps. Lord knows the only people making money on bootcamp education are the frauds that run them.
You're actually right.

MacBook Air M1: 49.9Wh | MacBook Pro 16" 2019: 100Wh

The 16" MacBook Pro is rumored to have double the performance CPU cores, and either double or 4x the GPU cores. So for tasks that are strictly GPU bound, battery life could be about half of the M1 Air.

Considering that this is the absolute worst case scenario battery life (assuming of course that they don't make the battery smaller), the new 16" Pro is looking pretty exciting.
I feel you. I haven't paid heed to a single recommendation Spotify has ever given me; Most of the bands I've discovered in the last several years were by way of Reddit or word of mouth.

I disagree that your reasoning is entirely sound. It's a bit of an elitist point of view I suppose; but fundamentally I don't think all customers are created equally in terms of importance. One could even in this day and age call some of the more important ones "influencer" or something similar.

While the general customer base might not be served by this feature, what if a subset of the customer base enjoys this feature to an extraordinary extent? Maybe it fixes a lot of problems they have with the service; and negates a lot of complaints they otherwise would have posted.

Would it still not be the correct choice to "clutter the UI" with this?

I don't think it's as easy of a choice like you're trying to make it.

But I could also be jaded by the fact that Spotify for years has trying to pull me into listening to all kinds of odd European folk music that I have no interest in what-so-ever.
But don't do this unless you have to, since a button is a hundred times more reliable and easier to use. (Buttons actually provide tactile feedback, for one....)
Yes I am aware of this tactic. Take a word that is a very severe accusation like "violence" and redefine it to mean something that is so much less severe that 99.9% of people would not consider it remotely the same thing. Then accuse someone using the word, knowing very well that 99.9% of people will take it to mean a very severe accusation, and when called out on it, hide behind the alternate definition that you made up so it's "true." That is not a good faith argument, and I should not be expected to treat it as such.

> Every dude who murders a trans woman bases his fear and rage on the exact same ignorance Netflix spreads through the chain of stand-up shows I did watch that meant I didn't need to bother with this one to know the deal.

And this is an opinion that I disagree with, but it least is stated in a way that isn't deceptive.
Serious question then, how does someone become a ‘developer’?
sizeof(char) must always be 1, regardless of how many bits or octets that represents. On such a platform, uint8_t does not exist.

Some additional comments:

- get a sense of the ebb and flow before doing anything that radically restructures your inbox. Also find out about your firm's document retention policies and practices.

- pick an organizing philosophy and stick with it for a month before revising (refactoring) it or ditching it.

- I organized my filters around a modified 7 habits of highly effective people approach: mail from above was urgent, mail from colleagues was important, mail from outside that set was not important unless I'd participated in the chain, and everything else was not urgent & not important and frequently ignored entirely.
One positive aspect of that is that an artist could effectively prevent the sharing of their work on social media by including nudes in the work.
That is because most of the “jobs” require just that skill or some other very limited skill.

I was asked to hand over the stuff that I was working on, when I left a job. It was interesting to find out the girl I was supposed to train, didn’t know even the absolute basic programming stuff. She had been in the company for five years and was well liked. She was doing just one specific thing all those years, and she was very good at it. She got raises every year, the company had a perverse interest in keeping her that way.

I have worked in a dozen places in my life. Though tall promises are made during interviews, not one of those companies gave a shit about employee growth etc. only way to do something interesting was to leave and find another job - rinse and repeat.

It is not just the employees fault their skills stagnate. Employers also contribute to it.
Wrong as we can see with x64's new rdrand which relies on a fast aesna, but is terribly broken.
I think Youtube Music does a decent job on recommendations but its android app is annoying. How does it still not have a horizontal screen mode?
I think for technically minded or abnormal users a dislike button would be valuable, but that's a minority of the population and I understand why a company would choose to focus on the larger market to the detriment of the enthusiasts. Props for taking the heat and trying to present this perspective.

I personally had these same complaints and acknowledged that I'm unusual and my needs are best served by my own hosted solution. I'd encourage people who are unhappy with major streaming services to roll their own if they truly feel strongly about it- I did and I'm happier for it.
What a ridicolous amount....aws is almost mocking the curl developers with such a shitty sum and a one-time payment as well.

Boris Johnson isn't doing it because it makes sense, but for political benefits. Who benefits? Who is making money?

10 years ago I thought nuclear was the clear answer - that we should do a moon-shot style massive project to develop a new generation of reactors and build them worldwide. I'm not against nuclear.

But there's an important political dimension also, and to talk as if it's decided on technological merits is to implicitly spread the BS.

I have a Brother MFC that has been working for ~10 years now. No problems using third party toner.

One thing I did notice, though, is that it will start complaining and bugging you about replacing the toner before it actually runs out. There's a well-known way to reset that check, though, allowing you to print until it actually runs out.

If you salt the output, wouldn't anything that collided before salting also collide after salting? Surely you would salt the input of the hash function? The effectiveness of that kind of depends on your hash function. SipHash tries to give you guarantees that your salt is effective and stays secret even if hashes (along with unhashed values) ever get exposed to the attacker
Assisted living is a much higher level of care than a retirement community, which I think is probably the sort of place the article means.

> and then if it is zero, we need an atomic memory_order_release decrement for the remote reference count.

Actually, we don't. We need a atomic load, but if the results of that load indicate that we're destroying the last reference to the object (which does need to be more complicated than just a extra remote reference; see [0] and [1]), we can just destroy the object as-is without actually doing a atomic store, because by definition there is no reference to the object through which another thread could inspect the remote refcount. (If there was, our reference wouldn't be the last one.)

Back in IDF boot-camp we used to sleep like 5 hours a night or less. So I had a thing with my bottom left eyelid starting to twitch randomly.

I went to the medic, which referred me to a psychiatrist, which told me not to worry about that.

A year and a half later it went away. Rarely, when I am exceptionally tired it will show up.

I wrote a blog post some twenty years ago (good luck finding it) but the basic point was I went and Googled "Martin Luther King" and the third item was hosted on Stormfront (neo Nazi hosting site - IIRR cos no one else would host the sort of stuff on it).

I surmised that some academic papers were linking to this and Google chose that as a positive recommendation.

I remember realising then that what we needed was not just a link but a standrdised way of conveying attributes on the link (including not recommended).

As everyone now infers from behaviour (time on page etc) but I still think there must be value in "this resource has this meaning to me and is important enough that i am labelling it"
I expect to be an outlier here, I also never use recommendation because I listen to the same stuff since 15+ years, and I couldn’t be happier :)

Elder Scrolls and Castlevania OSTs (Symphony of the Night and Super Castlevania mostly) represent at least 90% of what I listened to during the past decade. The other 10% is Shpongle and other soundtrack from games I enjoyed.
Not in this case, apparently, and definitely not the only company, not even in the auto industry.
You have to chuckle at someone calling the New York Times woke.

Semi related, but to anyone reading, is there a word for someone's "personal Overton window"? Like when someone's window is so far right that they call CNN communist propaganda?

I think aside from interpreting that prescription, he didn't live long enough to see what actually happened, which is that the power associated with the stupidity was overcome by sheer and overwhelming force.
I think it depends on how much context you have. For apps where I have written most of the code its usally easy to think it through and review some code paths. However the situation is vastly different if you run 90% unfamiliar code, like it often happens in larger organizations where everyone only contributed a tiny part of things. When you run millions of lines of code in production it's not reasonable to review everything in order being able to fix it - you need to use hints and tools to narrow down the source of the issue. That can be logs, metrics, debugging tools, profilers, etc.
> They might not work for you, but for millions of Spotify users they seem to work.

That is the most reasonable explanation. HN users are not the average user of Spotify.
This article neglects to understand the massive college-hire pipelines that top companies set up. It's not that companies aren't hiring junior developers, it's that they _only_ hire from their college recruiting pipeline for their entry level roles. It's become a common policy to not make "industry" hires at SWE-1; that's basically the college hire rung.

Tell you what, I would not want to be a brand new developer without university connections trying to get a role right now. If you start looking without top internships and a degree from a school with connections it seems like it'll be rough.
Excellent news. The more people see the lunacy of these "green" policies in CA, the less chance there is they will metastasize into the rest of the US, and the more chance there is that nuclear (the only really "green" option when it comes to base load) would see a revival. The technology is already there to build dramatically cheaper and safer reactors. The political will is being built up by taking a wrecking ball to CA's energy sector, and those who did it don't even realize what they're doing - their planning horizon does not extend beyond the next election.
I screen resumes for my team and pick up one or two juniors a year honestly it's hard to wade though the 20-30 identical resumes we get a week from bootcamp grads with the same copy and pasted example projects listed under their completed work

Now I've worked with some bootcampers who excelled and turned out to be fantastic developers so I'm not aginst the concept but you've got to differentiate yourself a bit

> Setting us up for a house price crash in ten to fifteen years, as the Boomers age into their years of disability and want to sell their houses so they can move into "assisted living" / "sheltered" housing.

I'm really not sure where you are getting your numbers. Only 4.5% of seniors live in assisted living facilities. Most people will never set foot in one -- they will live independently up until they die, possibly spending a few weeks in hospice if things drag out. With new tech it is even easier now to live on your own -- e.g. you can order things delivered, there is telemedicine, grocery delivery, meal delivery, house cleaning services, uber, etc. Moreover you can now get little motors to take you up stairs, there are all sorts of automated appliances. The days of a large share of seniors needing to live in assisted living are long gone.

I have a “consumer” Canon Pixma printer that has 12 different ink cartridges. The quality is absurdly good, and commercial printing has only recently caught up.
I should add, to be fair to NixOS and the team, that there are three main official documenation sections: Nix, nixpkgs, and NixOS:

https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/

https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/

https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/

Anyone looking into transitioning to NixOS should take a leisurely weekend and just read through all three of those first. Being at least familiar with all of what's there will make getting up and running a lot smoother.
I think your link is interesting, in that the group without the copper enzyme also benefited from red light exposure. The copper enzyme explanation seemed reasonable to me, but perhaps there’s better explanation for why people seem to benefit from red light exposure. Maybe the benefit from red light it multifaceted.
> Step 2 is doing a lot of work here. It's pretty 'draw the rest of the fucking owl'.

Not really. Most distros aren't fully set up from the moment you complete a base install. Similarly, all you need for a base install of NixOS is to enable (1) a desktop environment, (2) a text editor, (3) a web browser, and (4) probably NetworkManager. In practice, this is a matter of uncommenting three or four lines from the template that nixos-generate-config gives you. Then after the install, you go about making everything comfy, just like with any other distro.
Hashmaps that have string-like keys suitable for indexing a trie are a subset of all hashmaps.
As far as I am aware, the big issue with removing the GIL is the vast amount of C based packages that depend on the GIL.
Not just internal packages, but a lot of third party ones.

That means removing the GIL would all of a sudden break a lot of code, and require a lot of packages to be rewritten. Inevitably, some will not be rewritten, remain broken, and a schism in Python might form again.

Perhaps Python should try making message passing based concurrency better. It tends to lead to more robust code than shared memory concurrency. I could see how that might be too far a departure from what people expect though.
It's a combination of factors. First, as the other replies mentioned, there are preservatives and stabilizers in supermarket breads.

Also, any bread in a plastic bag won't go stale as quickly, but it can grow mold due to the presence of moisture, but factory bread contains things like calcium propionate that inhibit mold growth.

Bread without preservatives and kept out of a plastic bag will go stale in a short time (a couple of days maybe).
I thought it was a plasma panel.

Would have said CRT otherwise.
Write code. Create stuff. Schooling can only ever provide you a starting off point.
> absolutely love it when people working on a product tell their customers that they don't need a feature they're all asking for and that would clearly improve the experience, just because not everyone uses it all the time.

We need a name for this, personally I call it GNOME mentality but probably is bad name since most developers are not familiar with GNOME (though the file picker issue get on top HN a lot )
You do for pilots - its just a lot longer and more expensive
I guess you're alluding to KSC or Cape Canaveral? As far as I know they pipe their water in from a neighboring town. Do they actually have enough fresh water to support the launch cadence SpaceX is planning for?
> disabling Javascript gets you past the paywall

Well, this could also tell you just how few users disable Javascript. The numbers are so small, the Washington Post would rather let them read for free than update their paywall code and potentially convert them to subscribers.

Is this really the best way to study this? First of all you can do this only infrequently, you need special equipment to measure the gas at specific locations and you will fuel conspiracies about the gas and possibly cause panic if the gas is visible to those who are not informed.

Instead you could spend the money to build an accurate computer model and simulate hundreds of possibilities, different wind directions, traffic conditions etc.

I find the pleasure in mastering a roguelike to be quite similar to that found in the honeymoon phase of learning a new skill or exploring a new domain of knowledge. Addictive, fresh and empowering. Almost like experiencing the first peak of the Dunning-Kruger effect with each new game I find, until that curve drops and the game inevitably destroys me (damn you Caves of Qud).. Well, most of the time.

Anyway, if anyone is looking for any recommendations I really enjoyed Cataclysm-DDA (super cool) and Caves of Qud for the old school ASCII feel. Then there's Dead Cells, Noita and Hades for a more modern take.
Why is everyone pitchforking that it's not enough? It's a library that is free for everyone, nearly every company on the web uses it somewhere. Almost none of them donate anything. Someone at AWS went through the effort to make this donation, I think that should only be encouraged.
It's honestly really stressful using systems which do this. I have to worry about the signals I'm sending to the system all the time. Did I hover over that clickbait too long? Did I alt-tab while a song I liked was playing? Did I accidentally click like on something? Did I misclick onto the wrong song?

Sure I might enjoy some clickbaity content every once in a while, but that doesn't mean I want the system to show me more of it, even if that will lead to me watching more things.
