Only CEOs. Which are mostly stuck with politics. Founders tends to have it easier. But that is assuming they see it coming.
When my partner was pregnant, I found some of the snippets downright dangerous.

One time in particular, my partner was worried about abdominal seperation (something quite common during pregnancy), she was searching about how long it takes to heal.

The snippet answer said that it usually doesn't heal without surgery. She was really upset by this, until I pointed out that Google had sourced that answer from a private plastic surgery clinic. Our country's public health website said it usually heals within 8 weeks.

I don't think anyone was being malicious here, but using machine learning to source answers from website, and present them as fact, is surely a disaster waiting to happen? Especially when it comes to medical advice.

There's also times when the information is contextual, searching "can you drink during pregnancy" shows me the advice from the CDC, but that guidance is different in my country.

At the very least, Google turn off snippets for medical questions, or should only show answers extracted from government health bodies in the country the user is in.
If you haven't killed some production environment in your career, can you really call yourself a programmer? I kid of course, but I've been there, done that. It's lessons learned the hard way and I became a better developer because of it.

I’ve done a lot with Starlark, but my big beef is the lack of types. Cue aspires to be declarative which I never find myself reaching for, but maybe that’s just for lack of experience with the declarative category of tools.

A classic. It contains the best definition of system architecture that I've ever come across:

> Architecture is a hypothesis about the future that holds that subsequent change will be confined to that part of the design space encompassed by that architecture.
Exactly my thoughts as well. We've had test sandboxes for EV trucks with overhead wiring, have been talking about autonomous driving for over ten years now - yet nothing tangible and usable has come out of it except maybe autonomous lot parking and assists.
The seizure example is a nice example of where this feature is misleading. But overall, I have come to not trust it at all. I find it is flat out wrong more often than not. A feature like that is pretty much useless.
Network drive or any kind of NTFS reparse point such as a symlink (I suppose because that’d be a way around the no network drive rule). An unintended consequence of which is that it doesn’t back up iCloud or one drive files, which use reparse points to do the download on demand stuff. So instead of happily paying $60/year to back up single digit gigabytes, I pay more like ~$20/year to store blobs from a different backup client.
Well, one of the differences between the US and UK is the US is much larger, and the long-haul 18-wheeler routes are going to take longer than a weekend to drive and back. Going between, say, Chicago and NYC takes ~12 hours... not counting stops. And that's one way!
Intel transition from NAND to Chip.
I think the fact that those two countries are called out as an example suggests that monthly is not the norm; difference exists, but common discussion/comparisons tend to use hourly (as shown in the top table), and the majority (?) of countries do as well.

At the very, very least, it's not a uniquely American thing.
I was inclined to agree, but the questions seem to be as simple as "add 32 and 14" [1]. I doubt students failed to answer this question on the basis of what field the numbers belonged to :)

That said, the emphasis on rote memorization through multiplication tables has long been utterly useless. So, there is fault in the purpose of instruction as well. As an aside on this notion of rote learning, I recall some of my high school's top students (by GPA) could not solve a simple ODE, despite getting the highest score on the AP Calculus exams (granted, this doesn't mean much when such a score can be attained with a 70%)

After some thought on Larry Summers' hypothesis, there seems to be one major assumption that he's making that needn't be true - that the major culprit for high engineering and academic positions is aptitude. If this is the case, then he may well be correct, as it makes a lot of sense. But it is still a major assumption.
That means nothing.

Indeed, in fact the original line of thought was[1]:

I'd say Nim still satisfies this very well.

Depending on how you do it, long haul trucking is a worse job than McDonald's, if McDonald's is paying enough.

> The average truck driver salary in the USA is $61,843 per year or $31.71 per hour. Entry level positions start at $45,970 per year while most experienced workers make up to $85,000 per year.

McDonald's is approaching $20/hr around here, which is getting close to those entry-level positions, no special training needed, and you get to live at home with family instead of being OTR all the time.
The author didn't describe this as "dangerously misleading"—that was when Google took the list of "what not to do during a seizure", and provided them as instructions on what to do instead. The minimum wage graph was described as "it's merely annoying."
Yes, when you delete with bucket versioning on it will leave a record of the object deletion tombstone. The previous object versions are still there obviously.
I agree that it’s probably nicer than YAML, but that’s a low bar. I’m more interested in whether it’s nicer than something like Starlark (especially a hypothetical statically typed Starlark).
Thank you!

It's not 'user error' for a user to ask an unanticipated question; that's poor design.
I only rejected his out-of-the-blue implementation of something that already had very different plans around it. There is room for whoever doesn't disregard what the readme says:

"For code contributions, it's best to start out with modestly sized fixes and features and work your way up. There are so many different possible implementations of more major features – many of which would cause undesirable code or vision conflicts with OpenMW – that those should be talked over in advance with the existing developers before effort is spent on them."
I would say he is sharing the reward.

Anybody that has been dealing with deployments in critical systems has been in similar situations, specially being a vendor. When you are there it all depends on your risk appetite.
The observation is consistent with the theory of relativity.
To me, it looks like Intel is playing catch up, and trying every heroic hack like HBM that they can think of in order to be competitive with AMD.

It reminds me a lot of the last days of Netburst, with heroic hacks like huge (for the time) caches, high clock speeds, and then bumping up against TDP limits.
Intel seems more like Sun, they once produced competitive products but are now entering a period of stagnation and decline due to confusing product offerings and executive mismanagement. Most of their sales come from legacy entrenchment.
In a time where you can get sued by anyone and the age of trial by social media and biased news, sometimes not doing anything is the better self-serving option.
Exactly! There seemed to be a severe lack of any production control processes at this place. That's the fault of management and senior developers/architects. Contractors should never be given the keys to the kingdom like that. And if they are, then there should be some checks and balances to make sure they don't do something foolish like this. But I've worked at places like this where we coded "close to the wire" so to speak and it's just get the job done and who cares about quality. Management should absolutely get the blame when a screw-up happens.
This kind of thing is the best argument for your own bare metal hardware.

A couple fun things I haven't documented yet.

We were able to spork an SSH session using password auth. (That one went from Texas to Virginia via Starlink.)

Some folks on the discord sporked a Minecraft game. Quake didn't spork, probably because it uses UDP which doesn't spork yet.

We're going to keep adding fun/useful features, including a public gateway service so folks can make use of spork without people having to install the client first.
Haha the comments are so funny :) Everybody is right in this cacophony. Pandora’s box is open, and I bet a pint we’ll never find the true answer …
I'm not sure it's a good thing. But open-ended charges come up a lot. AWS, like the other big public cloud providers, doubtless have self-interested reasons for letting people run up the meter. But they're probably also hesitant to add cut-offs that could end up being footguns in a production context to bring down services in complex infrastructures.

People just playing around should be careful. There are ways to keep risk lower. But if absolute price caps are your priority you should probably be using a VPS of some sort.

It’s something I’ve been always struggling to accept. Be it sales, academic debates, court cases, or just dinner table conversations. Why does the outcome depend on the timing and specific choice of words used? Isn’t it a proof or irrationality of it all? Shouldn’t the outcome converge to the "best" one (optimal, true) the longer the process takes?
This defeats the purpose of a backup because they could delete your data at any time.
Children need to see people's faces to develop properly. Just because they got "used" to them doesn't mean it's appropriate to put them on their faces. Additionally, if you actually pay attention almost none of them wear the masks correctly or sanitize them like they should. It's a farce with very real negative consequences and essentially no positives.
My understanding is that it really depends on how you calculate pay. Trucking is often paid pr mile driven rather than pr hour 'worked'. So if you divide your total wage by the number of hours you are in or around your truck then hourly wage can come out much lower than McDonald's.
How much does that actually effect Tahoe? I Would assume that an alpine outflow is always taking the maximum amount of water that it can regardless of downstream usage. And that it only matters if alterations are made to outflows or if other new diversions are made.

Let me recommend two more features:

- universal human-assignable names

As long as you're replacing IPs, replace DNS, too. When you tell a friend about this great new site, make sure you can tell them with something closer to "pasciencia y fe" than "fe88-2533-a210-dead-b33f-3301-3412-4dc1"

- universal anycast

Big services will need scale and distribution; if it's built in early and well, that makes it easier to adopt.
Looking at the book's table of contents, I disagree. Browsers may resemble OSes by the size of the code base or by the amount of optimization involved, or by their importance for the modern world, but not by the types of technologies involved. I doubt the Browsers course will intersect a lot with OSes course.

EDIT: Reading you comment again I suspect you might have been joking :)
Here in Canada, truckers have an entry wage of about $18/h. Starbucks pays $15-16 and from what I’ve heard anecdotally, has excellent benefits and flexible hours, neither of which are guaranteed as a long-hauler.
The mistake was he tried negotiating with Jobs himself lol. I dunno, getting 50m in Apple stock would have been fine if the buyout had to be 50m. The deal would have been way more than 3x by now. Bravado at work here. Yes, this man has the same problem I suffer from (not in selling myself, I’m pretty good about shutting the fuck up in that regard), but in general, this gentleman suffers from ‘can not shut the fuck up’. I can commiserate.
It is not just a face mask when you stick it on small child. You realize that children need to see mouth movements and faces to develop properly right?
Being able to compile to C, C++, ObjC, and JavaScript natively (and LLVM using https://github.com/arnetheduck/nlvm ), along with an excellent FFI (including to and from Python) means you don't need to rewrite dependencies as you can use them directly. Nim is great at glue code - arguably better/easier than Python.

Along with general language characteristics such as being high level and productive like Python, but with intricate "bare metal" control when you want it, really does make it suitable for writing almost everything.
I am Polish. Poland reverted back to COVID-normal a lot earlier, and was later to implement lockdowns, than the UK.

For people on the fence about going back home, lockdowns were a major driver. Additionally, Poland has rejected vaccine mandates, whilst the UK seems on the cusp of implementing them, and requires them for re-entry to the UK.

For people who have experience living under totalitarianism, being forced by the Government to take a medical treatment (often for no purpose since many working-class people already survived COVID) is unacceptable.

The other big factor is that a lot of people who have worked in the UK for the last 5-10 years have now saved up enough money to buy a nice house in Poland. By contrast UK real estate remains continuously unaffordable due to the restrictions on development and continued population expansion from immigration (legal and otherwise).

These trends of de-migration would have played out slowly over the next 5 years but COVID rapidly accelerated them.

That is like equating Atari ST, Amiga 500 and Mac as the same thing only because all of them had a 68000.
Retail and food service management can be pretty lucrative. For an entry level position though I can't imagine this would be true.
What on Earth? This company just locks random people's phones as part of their testing, and nobody realised that was a problem until they did it to thousands at once?
Stories like this make me extremely hesitant to try AWS. I was about to try S3 for a static site I was working on this weekends but I think I am gonna stick with netlify or digital ocean instead after reading this.

There were ten comedy films in 2019? Is that your point? It's been a comedy desert as of late as far as movies go.

The trailer for Dave Chappelle's Sticks and Stones (2019) shows him walking in a literal desert. The top comedies of that year seem to all be stand up specials, does that really count?

Comedy only comes woven into dramas now.
Amazon ARM and Apple ARM are a class apart, and are not substitutable. Same ISA but wildly different architectural capabilities and limitations, a bit like Via x86 versus Intel x86 back in the day.
Agreed. I have always found that a long run left me tired and a bit sleepy for a while afterward.
True, but it says that the guy owns his own truck. Those are not inexpensive to pay for (purchase price, insurance, and maintenance). I can't imagine what it costs just to replace a few tires.
How did he not get that running a script to lock random phones would lock random phones?
Yes, this was mentioned as the preferred method in the article. As the article states, it's free for objects in the standard storage tier but will incur a Transition cost for other tiers. It's not hidden, but it's not exactly advertised as a way to empty a bucket.
And you use the Fair Credit Reporting Act to force them to validate the debt or cease collection activity. For small amounts they will not go through legal hoops.
The user has been "programmer_dude" for 6 years just on HN, there's no chance that they didn't learn about the dot.

I'm confused as to how they can be confused.

Even in my comma-as-separator country, our calculators have a dot. The only thing that could be confusing is encountering numbers with 3 decimals: 123,456 vs 123.456
I don't understand how people can defend this developer in the first place.

I could understand if they were about 16 years old and actually abused by their employer, but generating random numbers to test the locking of phones? Basic maths should tell you that the probability of matching some real phone number is actually quite high.

Moreover, what exactly were they testing? i.e. if they were testing nonexistent numbers, then how would they even know the phones were blocked in the end?
Its ALMOST like one of the most lucrative businesses in the world is optimizing extracting money from you rather than customer experience.
Yeah now he's starting to give me pinky and the brain vibes, like always getting so close and then fucking up ;o
You mean we don't have math competitions like the spelling bee for language. I'm not convinced that there is a lot of value in being a human calculator. Knowing how to do the math is important, being able to do it all in your head is not.
It's not about driving the truck. It's about camping in the truck for weeks shitting in a ditch and washing yourself with cold water.

I know someone who is a truck driver and recently retired. He saw the company he worked for replace the natives with Bulgarians and Romanians.
Disclaimer: I f***ing love AMD.

But... between mindshare, supply constraints, and OEMs being slow to make compelling products with AMD, it takes a long time to switch large numbers from Intel to AMD.

With AMD laptops, you'll struggle to find the ideal combination of display (resolution, quality, brightness), ports (Thunderbolt) and other attributes. They only got high-end discrete GPUs and 4K screens this year. And often not in the same machine. Thunderbolt is technically available for AMD platforms now, but still exceedingly rare.

For desktop, yes... I switched to AMD fifteen years ago and I haven't looked back. That's as someone who builds their own.

In the consumer space (outside DIY), desktops are like laptops. You need to find OEMs putting things together in the right configuration. Not to mention selling them at your local Best Buy for a mainstream consumer to come across it and pick it up. And not turn away because it's missing the "Intel Inside" sticker seared into their brain from decades of marketing.

Please don't write a compiler, that has nothing to do with JavaScript, in JavaScript. It needs correctness, safety and speed, none of which are JS (nor TS) strengths.

You can, but that's a prerogative of all Turing-complete languages.

There are much better languages fit for the purpose, which is the point of this comment thread.
Acectdotally, most of my wife's friends are teachers, mostly for private schools but a couple for public too, between grades 4 and 11, none less than for 15 years. Across the board they report declines in math and reading and just about everything else. Curiously some of them teach foreigners, so this is not just a U.S. phenomena.

When asked why they universally point the finger at phones. This affirms my confirmation bias but seems plausible as well.
arrrghhh this "find a niche" stuff again. what if I am a regular 9-5 engineer in a big company. where the hell am I finding those?

>If you don't want to spend time on a smartphone, don't spend time on a smartphone. I don't have a smartphone myself and I am not interested in getting one. But banning something because you don't like it is nothing short of totalitarian.

Show me where either of these comments say this please...

>Have you read the parent comment? Not the smartphone needs regulation but services applying behavioural psychology to foster use time which imply addiction risks.

You're missing the point. There's no difference in regulating the smartphone vs. the apps. My point still stands. Either way you're putting regulation in place for the few that are unable to handle themselves and punishing the people that have self control. It is not the role of a democratic government to inhibit personal choice and force morals on people. Unless, of course, you prefer the authoritarian style of government.
The deadline for generating a bunch of random phone numbers to block? The author would probably save some time by hard-coding some truly non-existent phone numbers instead of using a random number generator.
Yes, it managed to confuse me. Here's how...

1. I did not notice the M1 was being offered on rent. I assumed it was for sale at the listed price.

2. Since 58.31 € is an unrealistic price for an M1 machine (and since this is a European site) I concluded the site must be using a comma instead of a dot. 5831 € is a realistic price for a Mac afterall.

Unfortunately the site is using a dot for a dot despite being European and the M1 is being offered on rent.
Too me this is another example showing how much behind "software engineering" is behind most otherl engineering disciplines. Processes in other disciplines are build very much into the practice that these things don't happen because people die if a plane crashes or a bridge collapses. Also that somehow software gets away with absolving itself of any liability (i.e. the usual "this software is provided as is...") is quite remarkable.
