Graphic design is shit, product design sucks, home interiors are all the same with chinese made single purpose kitchen tools, unrepairable gadgets surround you, iot apps last updated in 2016, complete assault on user-centric design, broken touchscreen displays in cars and feature creep driven software that will eventually become unusable. No one cares. Everything is fine. Nod along, pour a glass and sip some plastic bottle moonshine.

>Patients were randomized to either open-label placebo pills presented as “placebo pills made of an inert substance, like sugar pills, that have been shown in clinical studies to produce significant improvement in IBS symptoms through mind-body self-healing processes” or no-treatment controls with the same quality of interaction with providers.

I wonder what the results would have been with a less suggestive presentation.

This is how I feel about TheReportOfTheWeek, aka Reviewbrah. He reviews fast food items in his house or backyard in a single take and averages 100k-200k views per video (with some outliers). No fancy editing, no team of video assistants, just a genuinely charming guy reviewing cheap food in a nice suit in front of a fixed camera.
Would be great to have more real world benchmarks (in a climate chamber). To me any difference should show empirically. Does anyone have a good suggestion to "debug" performance/battery/thermal issue as a matter of trade-offs.

Some of the interesting facts that are not usually discussed in other grandiose plans for Mars terraforming:

- Mars is losing 100g of atmosphere every second to the solar winds, which is a significant quantity per year or decade. Creating a magnetic field for Mars is actually required for any kind of long-term plan.

- Mars' extremely low atmospheric pressure means that any liquid water will boil immediately on the surface. Even worse, this remains true even if releasing all of the gases trapped in Mars' ice caps.
Maybe it depends on the country, but afaik, at least in the EU every phone is rootable. Some manufacturers impose restrictions ( e.g. for Xiaomi you need an account with them and have a maximum number per day of bootloader unlocks, supposedly to fight against third parties mass selling their hardware with extra crap/mal ware), and some app vendors may refuse to work on your rooted phone ( e.g. some banks), but that's it.

Ah I remember when I thought like this. I was so young and naive. Good times.

Fact of the matter is, software is NOT like building a bridge, or any other engineering discipline, it's much, much more complex. We'll never achieve high reliability for anything but the simplest software (reactor control rooms come to mind). Accept the fact that software is hopelessly broken, and find tactics to deal with it.

I also became suspect of the behavior of the skip button, I sometimes skip songs of artists I really like and could observe that I did not get them recommended anymore until I explictly played a song of them. Of course this could be just random luck but it made me careful to skip my favorite songs and instead I open the playlist and select the next song.

Yes. High-quality games like Factorio or Machinarium are quite good fun. Also helps if a game is finite, not infinite. For example, while you can play Factorio endlessly, the rocket is the goal and it gets less fun once you've done all the things - which is good. You play it, you enjoy it, you move on. That kind of play is quite healthy.

I'm Irish, there still exists a lot of pride for potatoes here. I have a small allotment here as part of a communal garden and each spring there is probably more excitement about the potatoes crops than any other. People want to know what types you are planting, how early to put them down, tips for managing damage from a late frost etc. Not to mention it really is a productive crop and really can last all winter when stored correctly and you can be self sufficient for "spuds" from a relatively small sized plot.

>So I take it you did indeed not have a use for transferring individual videos to a different channel? I think "just" is a pretty reasonable word to use here, it is two well documented steps. Happy to help!

Given that my original comment described an actual, real, use case with the actual problem I faced, your take that I did not have a use would be wrong.

The solution in your first comment of moving the "channel" to a brand account is not acceptable. Therefore, the fact they were "just" two well documented steps is irrelevant because it's not the right solution. If I want to move a TV from one house to the other, I shouldn't have to transfer the house as well.

>Look, you're claiming that videos are obviously analogous to files, and should thus support the same operations that files do. But that's not the case, they're more complex objects.

At some point, they are stored somewhere, right? Database, object storage, filesystem: something on disk.

>For example, moving a video can't be unilateral. For reasons that should be pretty obvious, you have to have both the old and new owner consent to the transfer, which is going to be a fairly complex flow. There's no analogous concept in any filesystem I've ever seen.

I am the owner of both. Simple enough scenario in my case.

Are you using words like complex and obvious without really giving details because you're speaking knowingly of the internal challenges YouTube is having to move one video from one place to the other but can't go into details, or do you not know of the inner workings of YouTube?

Would you agree that the user experience of being unable to move a video from one place to another sucks, notwithstanding the existence (or inexistence) of technical challenges?

Would you agree that you start with a desired user experience and then solve the engineering challenges, not get a user experience that sucks and spend too much time telling the user why they're wrong and how it doesn't make sense to want to move one video from one place to the other, and that there are complexities for obvious reasons, and that they're not like files...
I guess developers should own the feature not just the implementation.

Unfortunately the impression is that people won’t use such systems
It needs more than that. I often hesitate to rank because my preference often varies by time and mood and setting. I might not dislike a song, but don't want it played when I want something mellow to fall asleep to, or when I'm happy or when I'm sad. Having a given song show up in one context might irritate me because it breaks the mood while I might love it another time.

A good recommendation system for music needs to take into account proximity in play order to other songs you've ranked when you rank it, and their tempo and genre, time of day, etc.
I have no idea where the idea that emulation means "software emulation" comes from. Emulation just means "to imitate another system". People aren't getting mad because they can't get one -- I don't want one. They get mad because they act like FPGAs are magic fairy dust, when really it's all code, just at different levels. They aren't fully simulating the chips down to the gate level -- that would be "no emulation", but would also violate copyright so that isn't how it works.

Using FPGA doesn't make the emulation fundamentally better -- there has been various bugs found on the SNES emulation of the Analogue. They get fixed of course.
Yeah, you're illustrating the example perfectly. You're triggered by the terms used, whereas I was drawing attention to the actual lived experience of thousands of people.

Has anyone actually measured this on a laptop?

My view is that this works for CPU heavy tasks, but not for low-frequency repeated background tasks like browser window drawing, where if you speed up your CPU you just burn energy to get a higher framerate, something you generally don't care about on powersave.

So optimally you'd want to clock up for "burst tasks" and keep freq low for "per-frame tasks". But I don't know of a scheduler that does that, or even how it could do it. But if you assume most of your battery loss will be to frame tasks, powersave makes sense.

I think alogrithms are great but feel really frustrated and helpless because it somehow became impossible to explicilty give it signals or tweak it. It's like living together with someone who always tries to guess your needs but you are not allowed to talk to them. That's just a broken system.
When you remove a song from one of the auto-generated playlists (Discover Weekly / Release Radar) the app requires you to specify a reason, “I don’t like this song/artist”. Isn’t this effectively a dislike button? Or is this input not used in playlist generation?
With the modern web there is no "rush back to idle". Browsers will burn your CPU until you turn off your browser, which in most cases is only when you turn your computer off.
> I knew junior engineers who could have code circles around way more senior

That's a good point, there's a lot of nuance to that, but when I hire junior devs I still think of them as an investment, where for the first X months I'll spend more time training them than I would spend doing all tasks that they take

> However, why do we concentrate on FAANG as a first employment opportunity?

I don't think I made this article FAANG-specific, in fact I've spent majority of my career in small companies and I always tell entry-level candidates to reach out directly to small companies because they might be open to hiring even if they don't advertise it

> looking for Junior Software engineer, I got around 700 open positions and searching for senior, I got about 900

Yeah, I tried a few searches like that too, and I was wondering why people find it so hard to land interviews if there's so many junior positions. So I started looking into that, I checked the first 100 or so results and a lot of them required 1-2y of professional experience, meaning the number of entry-level roles is smaller.

> Comparing Bootcamps with CS degree is also leaves a bad taste in my mouth

Yeah, that's a generalization on my side, of course CS grads will have much easier time finding their first job, but unless they come from a top school they still might have problems getting interviews these days. And with the higher demand for developers in general, I would imagine that the number of entry-level opportunities should be much higher, and it should be easy for both CS-grads and other people to land interviews, but it's not happening.

Assuming it is the word 'poof', a term, at least in my circles, which hasn't been in current use for at least thirty years I'm intrigued to know how YT deals with obscure slang in, a language with many fewer speakers.

Are mildly derogatory terms in Burmese (1/10th the speakers of English) treated in this way ? I'd be curious to know how an Anglo-centric enterprise such as YT can establish what semi-archaic derogatory terms there are in Burmese. I suspect the comment would be safe from deletion just as long as English speakers can't read it.
I dont agree with OP. In fact on the contrary, much of the backend software is becoming lot more reliable than it ever was before. Lately most of the back end dev is leveraging various cloud services like dynamodb, big table etc, which have north of 99.99% uptime. Back when I was at Yahoo!, reaching those SLIs was a monumental goal. But nowadays its expected.

Any microservice built leveraging these cloud services, is already far more reliable than building things from scratch. Obviously, there is lots of room to shoot oneself in the foot. But overall, I am far more optimistic of backend core services than what OP presents.
Yeah nobody cares about building fast reliable software. That must be why Rust and Ada are so unpopular at the moment.
While I agree with much of this, it also reeks of confirmation bias. It's very difficult to notice when software is reliable, but poor reliability can often (but not always) be quite apparent.
And to nobody's surprise, it turns out humans are different from each other. Learning is for me one of the highest forms of leisure. But I know not everyone feels that way.
I imagine the need for bog butter probably declined, in particular due to the advent of refrigerating things.

Or possibly Type V like Czech Temelín.
In Germany some less digestible Inulin rich roots were also commonly used before the potatoe became ubiquitous like the Jerusalem Artichoke (which also was imported like potatoes). Now they are mostly used to produce alcohol. Scorzonera are still quite popular.
I do workout regularly and I do go for walks. But like a diet, the effect is long term, not immediate.
> Learning is not a leisure activity.

I disagree with that. I agree with the rest of your comment, there's nothing wrong with turning your brain off for however long you want, but leisure doesn't have to mean "turning your brain off". I program for leisure because that's what I like to do.
Carbonara, though. Pasta, eggs, bacon, cheese and pepper. Pigs, cows and wheat came with the first farmers, some 6k years ago. Chicken around 2k years ago, but they could have used other eggs. Pepper much later, silk road trade. I imagine they could have had something like carbonara a long time ago.

It requires SDL. Does that mean there is some graphical element. Or is Sculpt text-only.
I think different categories of software require different mentality. It's ok for a user-facing innovative software to be built in the "move fast and break things" way. On the other hand, it is totally inappropriate for a filesystem or almost any firmware.

You need to strike the right balance for your use case between reliability and being able to deliver new things.

Ask HN: Why do we have only 32 bit and 64 bit OS?
These kinds of things do get used in laptops–the keyword you're looking for is "race to idle", as the processor quickly clocks up and then rushes back to a lower-frequency state or even goes back to sleep.

Assuming you are using a reasonable browser with a reasonable set of websites open, a browser should not really burn unbounded CPU in the background. Tabs that do are generally throttled, allowing the scheduler to burst their work and then have the processor go back to sleep.
