Thanks for the reference, this will make for some interesting reading.

Agreed, I think the problem is the agile industrial complex has settled on scrum training, so when your CTO buys into agile, that is what you get. The consultants and training programs are all the same orthodoxy. Further, whatever flavor they decide on at the top ends up being applied to a wide range of teams below, which otherwise would naturally have different project life cycle models...

A firm I was at not only had agile scrum firm-wide, but mandated we all have same length sprints ending on the same day of the week. This way we would all be "aligned". Also it meant it was impossible to book a conference room as they were 200% subscribed on sprintmas day by all teams... After 6 months they at least decided we could at least start/end on different days.
I have this exact preference as well, and my solution was this little utility app:

From the Adoptium FAQ:

> This is the project and brand name for the binaries that the Eclipse Foundation produces. You can think of these as the successor binaries to AdoptOpenJDK.

The current LTS versions are 8, 11 and 17. Supported platforms include arm32 (Linux), aarch64 (Linux & macOS), x64 (Windows, Alpine & Linux w/ glibc) and x86 (Linux).
The only way we have ever discovered of widely making more of anything is scaling processes and organisations that work. If you punish scale you punish success. This is true for manufacturing, agriculture and education and those feed into everything.
It should be lighter on CPU though, and avoid a FOUC.
Pen.el LSP server. Use any language model for documentation/refactoring
This is an LSP server for OpenAI's GPT-3/Codex or any language model, using emacs. It gives documentation and refactoring to any language including world languages and fictional ones. As an LSP server, it works for VSCode too.
> Does the server get the viewport size as part of the request?

It can, yes. The response header `Accept-CH: Viewport-Width` suggest to the client that future request should transmit a `Viewport-Width: 320` header. Chrome only as the other browsers consider it harmful.

It doesn’t solve the problem, though. Font availability and subpixel rendering varies from OS to OS and browser to browser.

I podcast elsewhere, and am never going to switch to Spotify for it, just let me turn it off!
The general condition of methemoglobinemia isn't as rare as this family's particular genetic condition, so the methylene blue treatment was already known. I'm not sure when they first discovered that methylene blue can treat methemoglobinemia - methylene blue was discovered in 1876, but it does all sorts of things.

Is this still true in the world of CI/CD? If you're following "best practices" and doing multiple deployments a day, how much will your performance suffer? I don't have any answers to that, though I suspect that it may be one of the reasons why Go is used so much for "cloud stuff".

I really shouldn't have posted this submission.

Ghost is a relatively big platform that I've always kept in consideration for projects. I was so shocked by the situation and the discovery that something similar happened in the past that I went "people need to know this!" disregarding how out of place it'd be to blast the thread here. Thankfully it was flagged quickly, but it shouldn't have been up to begin with.

I'm sorry.
Not sure where you got this from, but this is entirely incorrect.
Yeah for my new startup I decided to avoid javascript except where its absolutely necessary and then use css plus lots of server side python including template generation and system and database management. I was using spa+soa with node and angular, react and vue for years but decided to use django especially because it has a great security track record and changes very slowly and doesn't require tons of extra libraries outside of django.
I like circle, and Sean does a lot of great work, but I'll have to stick to more pedestrian code generation for now.

It might seem too picky to some, but I need to have good control over the inputs into my build processes. There are the obvious concerns regarding reproducibility and security which, again, maybe some don't care about. But there are also implications for distributed building and caching workflows. Circle doesn't practically drop in for C++ while it is allowed to do arbitrary I/O (even off the machine!) at build time.

It seems like it should be a solvable problem at the expense of restricting what can happen at compile time, at least as an opt-in feature.

The usual response is "well, don't do that kind of thing!", but at scale, manually maintaining that kind of design standard isn't practical. But I'm sure you all audit all the source that feeds into each one of your container base images.

As someone who taught kids like this I can't agree. I taught hundreds of kids real math, writing, and programming skills that I now use in my professional life as a highly paid software engineer. Some of those kids have reconnected with me as adults to tell me I made a difference in their lives and credit my teaching (which their parents paid thousands for) as a very meaningful part of their success.

You say that, but the EPA has been slowly tightening emission rules for wood burning stoves. Just this year the EPA is beginning to reduce the allowable soot emissions for stoves from 4.5g/h down to 2.0g/h. Old stoves are obviously a problem, but they’re getting measurably better with time.

The model I’m considering purchasing has an actual catalytic converter in it, just like a car, to ensure combustion is as complete as possible.
I found the content of the article interesting but am also fascinated by how this kind of clickbait gets published and produced in the first place.

I did a whois lookup for history101.com (partially because I was half wondering if this came from some kind of politically motivated bot farm) but it leads to https://www.novelty.media/ who unlike traditional newspapers seem to be upfront pitching themselves to advertisers specialists at fine tuning articles to keep a high value US audience to keep reading and sharing them.

I guess it's working since this made it to the HN front-page!
The problem I think is that if your dependent apis aren’t also consuming Optionals, and relying on type = null || type logic, then you end up constantly translating back and forth between the two endlessly, defeating any ergonomic gains.

The ideal state is that anything that isn’t Optional is guaranteed to be non-null. So when you go ahead and remove all nulls as early as possible, you can statically guarantee that remains true forever-more.

But if all your libraries just go ahead and drop this knowledge anyways, and when they return an object without meaning non-nullable, then you’re back to where you started.

Whereas in an ML, I know every library is already adhering to this, so something being not-optional actually means something. Bolting it into a language ad-hoc, you go from everything can be null to this weird tristate — a type might be nullable, or might not be nullable and if it’s in an optional, it definitely is nullable… so your best bet is just checking for null every time anyways

That sounds like a way to punish malicious committers rather than prevent malicious commits.
The "I'm done" and "Guess" buttons are confusing.

"I'm done" can be replaced with "Give up and see answer" (Yep, it's an horrible name, try to find something shorter.)

I don't have a good suggestion for "Guess". I tried writing multiple words in the text box. Perhaps you can use JavaScript to ban spaces in the test box.

Also, perhaps you can change the game, so it says it's a success when you guess 5 labels. People really like to win, and sometimes getting all the label is boring.
I would say people who are good at languages have an advantage, but that’s a wide definition.

Math is the most transferable language and anyone in the sciences has a solid math background.

The biggest prerequisite, though, is a love for computers.

I’ve been trying to teach my 16 year old nephew to code. He’s an excellent student, great at math, and has made marvelous strides in music (should be very transferable), but his computer literacy is shockingly low. The kid barely knows how to install a program on his laptop. As a result he hasn’t engaged with it like he did when I started showing him stuff on the piano, and has made no progress at all.
Thanks for the write up, just wanted to note that I read through all of this. I get what you're saying about the meta now, clearly I didn't fully understand why that was bad thing.

Speaking of meta though, I have to say, I still stand by my initial thought that an alternate rating mechanic is at least worth exploring, as the upvote/downvote feels like a system from an earlier era before anyone realized how large its social impact could be. I'd be interested to know what the ideal system that promotes a healthy convergence to the center (rather than one that increases polarization) would look like.

I can't deny the effects of great moderation/cultivation, that they are the most important part, but being a technologist I still want to see what happens when the variables are tweaked.
What’s funny is that I used to love listening to the Joe Rogan podcast and hate Spotify just as much, because I tried to listen to his podcast and somehow ended up listening to about TEN MINUTES of ads and the podcast NEVER started playing. I finally uninstalled Spotify and haven’t listened to his podcast since, sorry. It’s mind boggling that Spotify could drop the ball so hard, as ostensibly they were trying to funnel people like me into their platform, and whiffed in an absolutely astounding manner while also alienating people like you who already use Spotify.

Not really. Most boomers and are not rich at all. Go to your local food store and you will probably find plenty of older employees...it's not just 20-somethings who are stuck in crappy professions or in a rut. Many boomers did not save for retirement and face the same problems young people do.

Also there are plenty of 20 and 30-year-olds on Reddit (such as on investing and FIRE subs) and hacker news who have sizable investments in real estate and stocks. The post-2009 bull market is the biggest and longest ever ,surpassing even the 80s and 90s in terms of real returns. Plenty of young people have and are getting rich from that, plus also the rise of lucrative FAANG jobs and also online marketing, social media, etc. This is not representative of all young people obviously, but to say that young people are being denied wealth due to older generation hoarding it ,is wrong too. There are plenty of opportunities for young people to get rich.

Regarding luck, boomers did not have as many ways to become wealthy compared to young people today. Although homes were cheaper , mortgage rate were much higher, inflation was much higher, there was no employer healthcare, real stock and real estate returns were poorer, professional jobs did not pay as well, etc. Adjusted for inflation, college grads 40 years ago made less compared to grads today.Homeownership rates were not higher during the 60s, 70s, and 80s despite homes being cheaper, in part because mortgages were so expensive and wages were not that good.
That sounds overkill just for a glossy picture of my dog

I’ve said this in another comment here, but I see a lot of folks debating about the utility of a dislike button in terms of its improvement on recommendations, and I think that misses the point.

If enough users want the button, that seems like a good enough reason to have it, even if they don’t use it. They may enjoy having the ability to express their opinion, which is an entirely separate derived benefit from such a button’s influence on their recommendations.

It might even be a bit like the “Close door” button on an elevator. Sure, it’s rumored not to even do anything in some cases, but it’s widely available anyway because users appreciate feeling like they have agency over their circumstances (even if that feeling is built on a lie).

> A parallel problem I’m seeing is that much of the internet advice for juniors is written as if the world revolves around FAANG companies.

I see this sentiment on Reddit so much that at times I wonder how much of "everyone is rejecting juniors" can be attributed to juniors applying to only FAANG's and getting rejected.

Regarding the unreasonable salary expectations, I think that's just case of students seeing insane salaries in the Bay Area and thinking that it's reflective of the entire industry rather than a response to the insane cost of living in the bay area. A new-grad making $200k per year sounds insane on paper, until you realize that a studio apartment near the office is going to run you $4k/month

I think it is more complex than that. People can 100% care about the person in the street while still choosing not to help. They might believe that the person is insane and can’t be helped, they might believe that helping encourages the person to not self-help, or they simply prefer to spend their time/energy on people they love instead of strangers.

> A social network is a natural monopoly due to the network effect. It wouldn't make any sense to split it up.

This isn’t entirely accurate. Federated social networking is entirely feasible, and arguably the only reason it isn’t more widespread is because large non-federated social networks have an active interest in not federating.

Breaking up Facebook would make it possible for social-network “hub operators” to compete on the basis of moderation quality, administrative practices, and site quality.
The more uranium is used, the more it will increase in price, allocating more resources to exploring for new sources.

Increased uranium prices will not significantly affect energy cost, as fuel price is very small fraction of nuclear plant operation.

These days there are ways of getting uranium from sea water [1], basically making the supply practically limitless. This way is currently un-economical, but as current reserves are depleting, it will become viable option as well. (Along with researching for more reserves)

So yes, it was totally possible to decarbonise electricity production long ago.

You misread my post (or I wrote it poorly). I’m saying people should have some experience, even if it’s not tech experience, by the time they’re graduating school.
Some people don't check their mail either
> Lots of exclusively technical types don't understand why people are confused...

It's not that they don't understand, it's that non-technical people often proactively avoid carefully reading the few lines of relevant documentation. That's something a technical person can tell from the second the non-technical tries to ask a question.

> When monetary incentives and non-developer input inform product decisions, "it's in the docs" just doesn't cut it.

Obviously, you have the right to ask any question if you're paying for someone's time: you become a "client". Otherwise, yes please read the docs.

That's not really accurate for Windows. There's multiple forms of DPI scaling depending on what the application understands:

There's applications that don't understand it at all, in which case the system has the application render at 96 DPI and then scales it up. However, there is a an enhanced mode that was added partway through Windows 10's life which can adjust GDI+ drawing calls to render at the correct size for the target monitor. This can help a lot with making these applications render sharply.

There's applications that understand system-wide scaling. Applications in this category are told the scaling level of the primary monitor when they start up and will continue to render with that scaling even if the system's scaling level is changed or the application is moved to a monitor with a different scaling level set. When the scaling the application started with and the scaling of the monitor don't match, the OS will perform the remainder of the scaling.

Finally, there's applications that understand per-monitor scaling. These will not be scaled in any way by the OS. They receive notifications from the system about DPI changes so they can react to both being moved to different monitors and to the user changing the scaling settings. This was enhanced a little bit into Windows 10's life with a v2 that cleans up a handful of cases that weren't properly scaling.
