Not really. If you disagree, I dare you to burn your vaccination card and see how life is for you over the coming months.

There are many people like me who do not like seeing what is going on and are fully vaccinated. We have read enough history and have seen the hatred forming towards people divided on political and cultural lines, as the state pushes the envelope of acceptable oppression as it always does. Authoritarianism only happens when enough people can form a “reasonable” argument justifying it, usually out of fear or hatred of others, not rationally. Given the lack of acceptance of natural immunity, rationality seems not a full explanation.

Just because you think getting vaccinated is a good idea doesn’t mean you can ignore oppression around you towards those who are trying to defend their right to body autonomy. Besides, what if you are next?
Very dissatisfactory result - the buck should not have stopped with only him. This failure was on multiple people, from both Boeing and the FAA. The FAA was grossly negligent and has proven itself unreliable by this whole debacle. A national embarrassment.

Everything else being the same, it's better to make 300k than 175k/year. And not everything is the same, normally in those better paid jobs you have better Engineers, a lot of challenging problems, many nice perks, etc. What you don't normally have is flexibility to negotiate special conditions e.g. 4day work week. Also you don't get highly ethical companies, just average ones at that (and it might actually be better to donate the diff between 300k and 175k vs working in a slightly more ethical place for 175k).

So as far as general advice goes, it makes sense to recommend trying to get those FAANG jobs if you can.
You didn't really make an argument for why "brains seem to have parts" leads to "Chrome's omnibar makes sense". The reason Chrome's design is "good"--which I put in quotes, as I absolutely agree that it is "destructive"--is because people are lazy: it is the same reason why co-mingled recycling is "good" and why a world in which trash and recycling were the same bin would be even better, and why a world in which trash, recycling, your toilet, and YOUR OUTGOING MAILBOX were magically all a single slot would somehow be the best thing ever and UX designers would shit themselves with glee over how clever they are for training users that there is a single hole that everything should go into and it is the job of an army of people on the other side of the hole to make that work most of the time... except for the occasional letter that gets recycled and the occasional empty box of cereal that gets mailed back to the cereal company :/.

This is not what it is.

It's a regular insurance. Tesla isn't taking liability any more than Geico does.

When robotaxis happen, regardless of who makes them, the maker and/or operator will be liable for accidents.

There will be no big question.

Nothing else makes sense and probably nothing else could possibly be legal.

You can't say "you can go to sleep in a car but if it gets in an accident you'll pay for it".
I left tech at the university as soon as it started feeling like things were "getting old." And at that point I realized I should have left maybe 4 years earlier to get on with my career.

I think I will try to get back in when I am ready to retire, maybe a nice IT management position for a few years.

What you talk about the FAA doing thier own testing and validation is (unfortunately) almost impossible. Back in the 90s, a senior FAA official (I think a Director) had said something along the lines of “The FAA does not and cannot check everything, we just see that companies are doing their tests.” The FAA would require several times more manpower to be able to actually audit or test everything, and that is assuming they have the technical skills (which they haven’t had for highly complex systems and electronics for decades now).

I’m afraid I’m saying a lot of things from memory from the time I had written a report on the Max 8 accidents and an actor analysis. (I’d anyone is interested I could perhaps share it.) Most of this stuff came from the DoT report on the accident, the rest from reputable news articles.
Last time I checked a really good rule of thumb is that FAANG pays double the median salary for software engineers, no matter where in the world you check. There are however companies all over that spectrum so it isn't like there is a cliff between FAANG and the rest, but it is true that most developers would massively increase their salaries by joining a FAANG.
The US president’s compensation is far more than $400k per year including all the post employment benefits. Just the $200k+ per year annuity (inflation adjusted to boot) for the rest of their life is worth millions if they live more than ~6 years, and it only takes 4 years to earn it. Due to his young age, Obama easily got a few extra millions per year just in the value of the annuity.

Why would tales of expats skew negative? Expats tend to be better educated and come from more privileged segments of the populations. When an expat is complaining about how an engineer in Soviet union lives with his family in a 700sqft 1-bedroom and cannot afford a car, do you seriously think you are missing the counter-evidence from a better engineer living in Moscow suburbs with two cars? No, what you are actually missing is the evidence of a chemical factory worker living in a small town 25 miles from Moscow in a wooden cottage with no running water and wood stove for heat (that is a real person I personally knew ;)). The latter guy is not going to show up as an expat.

There's a great 80ies rock song by Nautilus (I can't find a translation good enough to post) that really captures the essence of living under late socialist central planning, both in economic and political sense... for the former, it's not that it's chaotic or particularly malicious, it's that it's so laughably, pointless-ly mismanaged and pitiful. My family comes from probably top 5% of Soviet population by QoL (from Moscow and with some very minor connections due to someone in the family being a high ranking and respected engineer at Moscow subway), not at all anti-Soviet, and yet I can totally attest to that both from family stories and personal experience (e.g. the flats inherited from socialist times, the indirect evidence like books that I used to read as a kid that my family "obtained" 5-10 years in advance because you couldn't just go and buy good books, or habits that my parents and grandparents still have like not ever throwing away anything, even if it's broken and useless "in case you need it for something" [implying you cannot just go and buy something], using the healthcare system inherited from the Soviet times, etc.). It's really kinda hard to convey... there was a blog post here about "how it feels to be poor" in the US, and the guy was complaining about his tiny 900sqft apartment... I literally laughed out loud.

Don't know much about Cuba, but there's no reason to believe it's any better. My favorite story about Cuba is a Canadian guy telling me he really likes Cuba, it's a great country, he visits all the time and it's really nice how any girl would sleep with you for a pack of cigarettes or a dinner ;)

The "support" for the regimes is mostly a combination of propaganda, not knowing any better, and lack of opportunity to actually change anything turning people towards so called "inner emigration" into cynical/self-serving indifference, going thru the motions to either ignore or even abuse the system.
Not the OP but fwiw I feel the same. Last I used WSL was probably 3 or 4 months ago, so very recently but before I had a chance to try graphical WSL. But tbh that hardly matters to me because I don't use many GUI applications.

The problem for me is that to use WSL, I still have to use Windows, which is odious to me for reasons that WSL can't ameliorate. Additionally every time you get set up on Windows you still have to deal with its deficiencies in getting to your desired WSL setup, namely deficient package management and terminal emulation solutions. (Windows Terminal is pretty good, and it's what I always go with for now.)

WSL will never help Windows with being slow or huge (20+ GB for an install, even without any applications? what the absolute fuck) or rude or unpredictable or opaque.

As for my toolchain: for people like me who use distros a bit off the beaten path, the fact that WSL is more or less incompatible with a real init system gets in the way, too. Nix support has also been spotty, coming and going and being blocked and unblocked at various times since WSL1.

Idk, dude. I actually like Linux on the desktop, Windows does a ton of things I don't like, and setting up a Windows machine seriously sucks. I don't think WSL is or wants to be for me.
I think there are many straightforward answers.
Try to get the $500k jobs. If that doesn't work and you don't want to grind LC for 6 months, go for $150-200k jobs like startups. If you are as good as you say you are, you could probably study/talk your way into a job or at least figure out what you need after applying to 100 startups.

Rap Is Slower Around Houston (2000)
LinkedIn to Shut Down Service in China, Citing ‘Challenging’ Environment
I don't know if it's right for everyone, but the way I did it was to practice a bunch of leetcode style questions and send out resumes go for job postings at big companies.

That was for my first tech job. Once I had that one advertised on LinkedIn (and some open source participation, and some talks at conferences - not sure what generated interest), I started getting a steady stream of unsolicited emails from recruiters. Next time I was ready to switch jobs I just responded to the ones from FAANG companies and went back to practicing leetcode.

You can probably also just reach out directly to recruiters at big companies, or ask someone you know who works at a big company to put you in touch with a recruiter or recommend you.
I'm not complaining, if you read my posts am saying the article is not representative of a majority of software engineers' experience. Using my career as an example. I even explicitly say that in the very comment you are replying to.

Not everyone works for FAANG.

Also, leet code is not relevant because the questions asked at that level are typically not algorithms. I passed the leet code stage in my career 10 years ago. Questions I get asked are typically around architecture, distributed systems, scaling, etc.

So what you are saying is someone who can answer the leet code questions easily (and has been able to for a decade) AND is an expert architect, should get paid less than someone who can only do leet code?
Hello, I’m the author of App Privacy Insights, an app which parses and presents the iOS 15 App Privacy Report. This app is built with SwiftUI and Core Data, and uses iTunes API to query app information.

I think you're assuming too much benevolence from Tesla here.

First of all, I think the way "FSD" is disclaimed (don't take your hands off the wheel, don't stop looking at the road) is going to mean that Tesla has a much easier time denying claims than a traditional insurance company.

If I'm, say, State Farm, and I'm insuring a Tesla that gets into an accident, I may not be able to prove that the driver was using "FSD" and/or whether they were holding the wheel, paying attention, etc.

Tesla, on the other hand, can get this data instantly and deny the claim based on very minor deviations from the "FSD" instructions.
This is just false - a number of universities and colleges use mandatory facebook groups for students notifications for example. The network effects of large internet companies have made avoiding them impractical.

If you're registered to vote in the state you are in, that process takes care of proving residency.

Do you really think people who laugh at Chapelle jokes go and assault someone because of it, is there any basis to such claims?

That Twitter thread attempts to link random acts of violence (picked in the year of major spike in violent crime) and tie it to an unrelated cause.

Denying the right to vote, a fundamental aspect of democracy, because someone has found themselves homeless (which in some ways represents a greater failure of our own society to provide a safety net for all citizens) is unbelievable.

But it's okay, because they just need to "fix their own problems first" as you put it in such a blasé fashion.

“We got them were we want them champ, let’s finish them in last round”
Yes! Those couple of seconds wait-time are a big bummer for that style of fast-feedback coding (for which there is the built-in `dotnet watch run` by the way).

Made me sad when I was playing around with generative art, where you would really want to see the result of your changes in a split-second.

You can check out ".NET Interactive Notebooks" in VSCode, that executes much faster, but it doesn't do this live watch.
That was fascinating. I guess problems of scarcity / economics mean we can't just launch a spherical shell of satellites into the 500ish AU orbit of the sun, not to mention the data retention requirements but man that would be even more awesome just to be able to synthesize an image at any point in the 100ly range... One can only dream I guess, but even just a single image of a single planet's surface would blow everyone's mind I think, so string of pearls it is! Please happen.
This seemed like the most interesting part to me:

> Extending the interval between vaccine doses could also mimic aspects of hybrid immunity.

Essentially they see some evidence that the reason hybrid immunity works well also includes a time between exposure factor, and not just a “I got exposed again” part. It really is a shame that trials are so resource intensive that we couldn’t try more intervals/doses.
Australia: NSW to Do Away with Quarantine for International Arrivals from Nov 1
You need only look at the makeup of every MBA, MEng, MS, and STEM PhD program. 50% European and 50% Asian, all foreigners (i.e. immigrated on a student visa). If there was no brain drain then you'd expect mostly US permanent residents/citizens.
I always wondered if there is some way to create a game where you program real life robots against each other?
Even in single threaded mode it’s fast. I think the main idea is that it creates an AST only a couple of times and then caches it so that the AST can be reused. Webpack on the other hand gets engulfed by its plugins which often do so multiple times.
Point of fairly idle curiosity about the presentation of the article: why do you put a trailing slash on your empty elements (img, link) in your code samples?

Some aren’t aware that the trailing slash is useless in the HTML syntax, simply being ignored by the parser and not doing anything. (Except for in inline SVG and MathML content, which switch the parser into a more XML-like mode where the trailing slash behaves as in XML.) I know you’re not in that category.

Some hold that the trailing slash should be encouraged because it reminds the reader it’s a void element.

I can imagine some recommending it for XML compatibility (which is related to the original purpose of the ignore-the-trailing-slash behaviour, though slightly inverted in direction), but I don’t think I’ve ever encountered anyone saying so.

I hold that in HTML syntax the trailing slash is mildly harmful, because I almost never see it applied consistently so that the document wasn’t valid XML syntax anyway (for example, your site’s source has a <link rel="preload" as="font" crossorigin href="/c/logo-font-5449c974.woff2">) and because it misleads people into thinking that it’s a way of closing elements.

So yeah, I’m curious, because it looks deliberate. Habit? Reason? :-)

(For those that don’t know about the two syntaxes for HTML: XML syntax for HTML is still a thing and probably always will be; load data:application/xhtml+xml,<html%20xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"/> in your browser as a starting point for a demonstration.)
Ask HN: Looking for clipboard app that saves all clips forever and has search
Is there an application (open source or commercial) that will save whatever I copy to the clipboard in a permanent store and then enable me to search items based on keywords. A simple implementation could be it dumps each item in a directory in a file. The file name could be based on the timestamp of when the copy happened.

Image search might be harder. But at least for text the search should be straightforward.

How hard would it be to write such an application? Basically you just need a way to dump each clip event to trigger generating a timestamp, and then saving it to a (configurable) location.

Why this application should exist. This would save me and many other people working in our times so much time. Instead of looking for things I saw a few days I could always search through my infinite clipboard.

I see some clipboard apps. What they lack is easy searchability.

If something like this exists please share.

This is the closest answer to the OP’s original question. Express is the trusty hammer we reach for in the Node world. Had they kept evolving it into a more Rails-like/Django-like tool, then Node would have that robust framework. They opted to keep it like Flask/Bottle, and so Node sort of got stunted on that front based on that decision.

Express only offered routing, middleware to plug-in things like Auth and templating. So yeah, we are very anemic in the Node world when it comes to anything that even resembles a Laravel.

You can raise capital so easily with any traction (seriously, if you have any credible paying customers at all YC will take you and that unlocks funding from everyone else). The cost of health insurance is negligible compared to the astronomical salaries of software developers.
The biggest draw is to not evaluate candidate based on Leetcode, that way you don't have to compete with these top companies and can therefore get quality talent for cheap. It is however much harder to evaluate candidate without leetcode, so you need to be really good at that or you'll end up with a mediocre workforce like most other companies that pays mediocre salaries.

For me, I write the trailing slash because it's easier for me to reason about mentally. It also means I don't have to context switch if I'm writing JSX or XML instead of HTML.
It's worth highlighting that this was the opposite device a decade ago when the large caps were IBM/MSFT/CISCO etc.

The marginal value of a good software engineer is very high when there is good cash flow. It's difficult to increase cash flow without engaging in some software activity. Organizations tend to find that growing a large software organization is counterproductive to effective development vs. growing a better software organization.
