Not sure what OP is referring to, but Microsoft has multiple Visual Studio Code extensions (e.g. Remote SSH) that are closed-source and hard-coded not to work with any self-compiled versions of Visual Studio Code.
It's about stock price and bonuses, in public companies. The only metric that a board of directors can use is stockholder welfare. That's their primary fiduciary duty, according to law these days.

So, what to bonus the CEO on? Stock price appreciation. Stock price valuation loves growth. So even though a flat business throwing off 10% profit is a very nice business to be in, the only way you can increase stock price is to grow margin, which is really hard and attracts competition. Ergo, CEO is going to try to grow the company to boost the stock price. That's one reason dubious mergers are pursued, as it at least will goose revenue and profit. Wise investors might use return on equity or capital as well, but the market in general biases towards the revenue and profit metrics. Stock goes up, CEO gets their bonus.

For a private company, slow or flat growth with a nice profit margin is great, and without having to favor growth at all costs for pesky stockholders and analysts, you can pick and choose when a good opportunity comes along, and grow a bit anyway.
> We'll end up either in a post scarcity society like Star Trek or a cyberpunk dystopia with corporations making artificially scarce goods for the sake of the status quo. The latter is looking more and more likely...

The most likely outcome is a post-scarcity world for the owners of the companies and automation that make goods. We, and all of our descendants, would have starved to death long before that since we aren't needed anymore to generate goods or wealth.
The cinnamon is just one reason not to do that daily.

Funny how often people assume that if someone is alone then it’s because they are dirty or looks ugly/unfit.
1. I’ve always spent 1 year sitting next to people before befriending them. It became solid friendship.

2. Do train to be alone for Christmas. It happens to the best of us, human suffering is way more widespread than you would ever imagine.

3. But I regret not walking out of the campus and finding salsa/anything-classes, or just going out a lot. Don’t go too much to bars and don’t do much alcohol, but do organize a lot of parties, eatouts, picnics, hiking, cakes, birthdays, do a lot of gatherings between friends. Also, when you do this, vary the friends a little bit, it should never become a circle of 6 friends, it should always bring in and out a few people, so you constantly meet new ones. Because in the end the goal is also to find a girlfriend ;)

This is revolutionary ...
I want to echo this because I strongly believe this to be true. Sharing a challenging experience together is one of the strongest factors in setting up friendships. I've made friends with a 70-year old because we were standing in line in the cold and wanted to complain about the urgent care we were trying to visit.

Many of my closer work relationships have come from venting about aspects of the company we didn't like. And, echoing the other responders, many of my closest friends from college were those that I psetted with at 4am.

Advice to the OP: get involved with a club or activity that has challenging aspects (e.g. a service club or a sports club) rather than a shared interests club. Don't worry too much about not being too interested in "traditional CS" things - just be open to sharing and learning about your non overlapping interests.
If true, it's extremely depressing that it required a viral post on social media.
Use Grindr and go all with the way with numerous gentleman.
Yea I was just going to say, the only reason you think more fondly of Google's than Facebook's image is a clear example of one company having a far superior PR department than another.

It might be true at the very beginning when Google was simply a search engine that they truly were "doing no evil." It's also true at the very beginning of Facebook that they were truly trying to build a social network that made the world more open and connected by bringing grandparents closer to their grandkids thousands of miles apart.

It is often cost prohibitive to put the full text in the feed because of all the clients that neither handle the inbuilt TTL value, nor use http caching correctly. Large (in terms of bytes) RSS feeds are one of the key places where etags and conditional requests are useful but many clients just ignore all that and repeatedly request the whole feed.

This sounds like it couldn't possibly matter but it's actually quite easy for a full text RSS feed to be the vast majority of bandwidth for a site.
I wish there was more data on the reaction mechanism. It's unclear which way the equilibrium would shift at the high temperatures present on Venus, or if the solvent is an important part of the reaction/would be in liquid form on Venus (most solvents would not). But I agree that would be an awesome application.

Trading law for campaign cash is not illegal in the US, at least not in any meaningful way.

Nor is that sort of bribery objectionable to most US voters or news orgs - again, in any meaningful way.

True, mostly. As the other commenter noted, function calls can be squeezed through some rather macro-looking holes if you just push hard enough.

Don't get me wrong, Tcl metaprogramming is awful and gross and I don't recommend it, I was just being the stereotypical nitpick HN commenter for that moment since it CAN be done.
In India, people in a hurry, and some restaurants, add baking soda to chickpea dishes, like chana masala, to reduce that gassy effect, I've heard. Don't like to do it myself.
Soaking the chickpeas in warm water for a few hours before cooking, and adding enough Indian spices and masalas, for both taste and digestion, probably cuts the gassiness.

I think the way the docs introduce functional components (destructure the props argument right away) sets you up for success with TypeScript. The main ways to get started that they recommend (CodeSandbox, CRA, next.js) let you add typescript down the line with no hassle, so you don't loose out by starting without it. Seems better to teach people one thing at a time. React with TypeScript really doesn't look all that different and if you just drop what they teach you into an existing TS project, it will work ok.

An official "Using React with Typescript" doc that shows good patterns for typing props and state would be nice though.

I'm having trouble believing that people don't understand this: the criticism isn't that someone is decorating, but that this specific choice of decoration feels self-contradictory and stands out as unusual to many people.

If you want decorative rectangles to the sides of your windows, great, go for it! What's the specific value add of designing those decorative rectangles to look like spectacularly useless shutters, instead of any other decorative design that's not trying to look like something functional in a way that contradicts that suggested functionality?

Alternatively, if you want your decorations to look like shutters because you like the aesthetic of shutters, why would you choose for them to look like useless nonfunctional shutters instead of designing them to actually look like a usable shutter?

What's the reasoning behind someone who sits down to design a house and concludes "I want this to look like shutters, but I really want it to look like bad, useless shutters that could never work."?

Either make it look like a shutter, or don't, but it's baffling to me that so many people decide to hang out in the uncanny valley between those two options.

Also, any halfway decent math writers (including those writing for domains that use math, but are not strictly done by mathematicians) also define their terms or provide a context. If you're doing physics, the following is perfectly comprehensible (and is useless if you haven't studied at least a bit of physics):

x(t) = x_0 + v_0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

In a physics book, all of those terms would have been defined prior to that statement, but you wouldn't exclude that equation because it's so useful later on (to actually do calculations with, or to solve for the other elements).

If you take any arbitrary APL program or mathematical statement out of context, it's going to be mostly meaningless. I mean, I can tell you what that does above if I've taken algebra but haven't taken the first couple weeks of Physics 101, but I don't know what it means so it's not useful. That's not the fault of the equation and it shouldn't be discarded just because it needs context to fully understand (either context fully stated with it, or an expectation that you've already studied the topic and so a minimal context can be provided and you can fill in the gaps).

MacOS and Windows have figured out that showing a GUI ASAP satisfies the user. Even if in the background its still negotiating networks, initializing sub-systems, etc.

I'm not sure folks understand the comm arch in a Tesla. CAN probably still is the main way data are slogged around between ECUs (this info is five years old). CAN works by broadcasting data values at some periodic rate (1 PPS, 10 PPS, 100 PPS usually) and there is no 'publish/subscribe' except that all data are 'published' and any ECU can listen. What the other ECU does with the data, the originator doesn't know. If one of those ECUs listening is the 'gateway' then it can pluck off the main CAN bus anything it likes, and store it for as long as it likes, and upload whatever it wants. New GW FW can be OTA loaded to save and upload different types of data.

In Teslas, there are two main CAN busses: the regular one and the 'secure' one that does the brakes and other safety stuff. There is NO connection between the two; but there is a secured path where the gateway can listen & get data from the secure one. The point here is that vehicle safety CAN bus is likely unhackable remotely, as there simply is no RF path writing onto that bus. (all bets are off if you have the vehicle, physically). I believe all previous exploits have been fixed.

And one more thing: ECUs have some amount of on-board flash that is used during a crash/power loss scenario. The "dump important stuff to flash" CAN command causes the ECU to take an NMI-style interrupt and do it. Also, if the ECU's own power monitor notices the ECU is about to lose power, there is enough energy storage on board to operate for maybe a few hundred ms. The important stuff is saved.

Every ECU must have a way to OTA its code. E V E R Y O N E, including some door lock or whatever (essentially LIN to CAN gatewaying). There are no, as in ZERO, exceptions to this rule. (or, there weren't as of five years ago, ymmv)

> How about 16 yr olds? 15? 13? 10? 7? Should we draw a line for "dipping their toe anonymously in adult activities" somewhere [...]?

Age of consent differs across countries. So yes, different countries and jurisdictions already draw a line for various adult activities. They also disagree what those lines should be and where they should be drawn.

My employer uses runbox. I'm happy you're so unattached that you can go a month without any email (can't sign up anywhere, for example) but we'd miss incoming invoices, can't send invoices to our customers, can't deliver reports to customers (we do security audits so that's kinda important to be able to deliver using e.g. pgp), would miss requests for new assignments...

I'm fully in favor of not paying into the extortion and not going for a global tap system like cloudflare, but we do need some solution in at most a few days. In the Netherlands there is for example the Nawas (it's also a pun, referring to a laundry cleaning thing) that scrubs malicious traffic for ISPs. I don't know the details of how they're being attacked, but with typical reflector services it's easy to remove that traffic based on a source port. Any large Norwegian hosting company (they just need an uplink bigger than the DDoS, or work with whoever the traffic comes from at their peering points) could provide that service as well. Not saying this is trivial but there are options other than waiting.
Drawing with Light: How photos were made a century ago
First off, it's important to remember that this actually isn't a big deal unless you make it that. I think there's a lot of pressure on people to make "friends for life" at uni, and realistically you'll be making friends in all sorts of avenues for the rest of your life, so don't sweat it.

My advice would be to do the things which make you happy, and then you'll meet people who get along with you. Those things don't have to be connected to college. Look further afield.
An Oral History of Счастливы вместе, the Russian Remake of Married with Children
I got educated on something new today. Thank you.

It does shift my outlook, but not enough. Let’s say that the Greek structures were the “fake spoilers” of their day and we mistakenly took it as the pinnacle of engineering and craft. That doesn’t change the fact that marble lasts longer than wood, or that certain designs can objectively hold more weight from a heavy roof, or that some designs keep rain and snow out better than others.

From that perspective, I argue that “fake shutters” are less like Greek columns and more like a fisher-price hammer (especially when a nail needs to be hammered).
New Reddit (aka, Really Obnoxious Interface Reddit) uses that as well. Since Old Reddit is the only useable version of Reddit (IMHO), it's really annoying to see people make such extensive use of it as it gets butchered for Old Reddit users.
Maybe I'm not using the right terminology - definitely not an expert - but I think Tailwind is "utility based".

When I said side step issues with class-based natured of CSS, I meant there's really no way to leverage the cascading nature of CSS using tailwind. You don't even really write css in tailwind. Because of this you get code duplication, but your styling is super portable. This, I think, is the nature of using a utility based framework. You can literally copy and paste almost anything and it will probably work, because the specificity doesn't depend on any sort of class hierarchy or make any assumptions about the structure of your css classes.

They're basically inline styles but use class names that are designed to be more useful than just writing css inline. Basically a light amount of editorialization.

But like I said I don't really know, so if someone knows a better way to word what I'm trying to say please correct me. I think the tailwind creator said something like "the canonical way of writing 'modular' CSS just doesn't work" (I'm paraphrasing but something to this effect).
"providing better products or services" and "causing competitor companies to go out of business" are related, though, not two wholly separate ways of doing business. If you provide a better product or service at a better price point, you'll win more and more of the market for the product or service.

Zoning laws prevent stacking containers more than 2 high. FFS.

Zoning as practiced in the US may be the most pervasive, banal evil in the country. It kills our GDP[1], is a major driver of racial inequity[2], increases wealth inequality[3], and creates car-dependency which has horrible public health impacts[4].

Yet somehow nearly no one in America is aware of this or concerned about it. I wish I understood why that is.

Ask HN: How do you explain tech debt (to non-techs)?
Tech debt is often a taboo. Talking about it can be bad and arguing for addressing it can be worse.

But I'm not sure everyone talks about "tech debt" in the same way. I've seen people use it as excuses for "time on what I want to do" and definitely seen management refuse it for that reason. But I've also seen management refuse addressing it to the detriment of the product/project.

So what, actually, is it? And how do you explain it?
If it was a high leverage decision, you would have hoped one of the officials appointed to fix the situation would have already noticed and fixed it. So either they are completely incompetent or the decision didn't matter much.
Another profession where freelance is a common option is coding. So if going alone should always better, is the implication that all the employed electricians and coders are irrational or want to be exploited?
