I've not worked in VFX since '02, but I was both at Rhythm & Hues Studios through multiple VFX Oscars as well as an early 3D graphics researcher during the 80's. I have no idea which tools are still around.

For example, a film compositor I know that is now dead and was revolutionary, called Shake: it pioneered both off loading heavy compute tasks to the GPU (not just graphics, but what is called scientific computing now) and it hid the GCC Compiler inside itself and used a macro-transformed version of C as it's "scripting language" that was actually hot-loaded C++ dlls compiled on the fly. It was also the first "node based programming environment" with graphical nodes the end-users connect with splines to define the I/O between the nodes.

If you are seriously interested, find someone working in the industry today and ask them. That industry has been changing a lot. Since I left the VFX/Animation fields have been moving towards more framework-like production environments, similar to how the web uses frameworks. The issue with these frameworks is they define the tasks to be performed, and those tasks are simplistic and rigid - meaning the actual production work has eliminated in as many places as possible the requirement for an art degree. The VFX/Animation industries are driving production towards something approaching more and more the work of being a burger flipper. The processes are being standardized and reduced in complexity so the studios can hire non-artists, they can hire anyone and work them like an automobile assembly line. Twenty years ago this was starting, and that is when I left.
I always hate this response. "I don't have this problem, so no one else does either." This all depends on what tools you use on a daily basis. I have some data tools that have scaling problems and they're unique depending on whether you use Windows Server or Windows 10/11. It's one of the cons of Windows having such great backwards compatibility. Some tools just aren't updated in basic ways despite receiving plenty of updates.
Sorry don’t see any evidence here that young people aren’t buying Apple devices.

One of the things that distinguishes Apple is its focus.

Auxon | Senior Software Engineer | Full-Time | Remote (US & Canada) | https://www.auxon.io/jobs

Auxon is changing the way highly-automated cyber-physical systems are tested, verified, and validated. Through a combination of distributed-tracing, chaos engineering, and empirical verification we're shining bright lights on the weaknesses and vulnerabilities which cause robots to misbehave. When SkyNET™ finally takes over, be part of the team that will know exactly how to keep our Robot Overlords happy.

We're a growing Portland, OR based startup, looking for an exceptional Software Engineer with an end-user focus and opinionated hot takes on what makes for excellent testing & debugging experience (e.g. data visualization, CLIs, and TUIs). Ideal candidates love the idea of joining a small, dedicated senior team where correctness and quality matters.

Our stack is primarily Rust (both `std` and `no_std`). Professional Rust experience isn't a prerequisite, but we've found that being into something a little weird is helpful (e.g. your teammates draw from backgrounds in embedded C, Erlang, and Clojure).

Fully remote, early-employee stock options, excellent benefits (100% subsidized medical, dental, & vision coverage for you + dependents), and a highly collaborative work environment. Full details and to apply: https://auxon-corporation.breezy.hr/p/d9d0fab87fb5

TC39 Proposal for Array Grouping in JavaScript
The guy came up with git over a weekend. The same guy wrote an operating system and named it after himself. In-jokes and easter eggs are famous in software engineering.

Linus is the original author of two foundational pieces of software technology in use today. I think he can name things whatever he wants.

If you're offended by the terminology of plumbing and porcelain because you can only think of toilets, then I suggest you look around your bathroom and consider what the basins are made of, or the bidet, or some bathtubs.

It's a perfectly valid extension of the "plumbing" term meaning the underlying infrastructure, while porcelain is the way users interact with the system.

When I do "man git" the first two lines are:

NAME
git - the stupid content tracker

Further down in that manpage is:

We divide Git into high level ("porcelain") commands and low level ("plumbing") commands.

Fixed that for you: How can you possibly know that, if no person in the world had the MRNA vaccine more than 2 years ago?

And, claiming that the worst _possible_ effect of the vaccines are cold-like symptoms is outright deception. The numbers are a small minority, but there are bad possible effects like ITP and other immune reactions, myocarditis, and other clotting issues, which are happening to _some_ people. We have no way to predict this. Just as we have _zero_ way to predict how severe any individual's infection with COVID-19 will actually be.

It is this tendency to obviously outright lie that makes a lot of people who would not otherwise be "anti-vax" mistrust the current massive push to force everyone to take these new vaccines. Most particularly for those of us who have had the bad luck to have one of these rare reactions to a vaccine in the past. The world dismisses us, but "the minority" still exists, even if they are not you. Every time someone like you blows off these truths, they create more anti-vaxxers out of people who have had a bad reaction to a vaccine or know someone who has.

The issue is with lossy scaling. I also have a 4k monitor but you can clearly see a difference in clarity if you select anything other than 3840x2160 (1x, everything is tiny) or 1920x1080 (2x, everything is huge).

After my experience in public schools, college and then grad school, I plan to homeschool my children and will actively dissuade them from going to college. The value of those institutions is purely negative at this point in US history. Like most of our government.
Well, this guy helped found Soylent, a product for people who want to avoid eating actual food, so maybe he has similar ideas about trees, birds, and walks in the neighborhood.
From my experience there are a few engineers that are usually key to fixing such issues (not always the same people, depending on the failure). Handing-off work is more for day to day work like handeling a support ticket. So the key engineers need to work crazy hours when things like that happen. But that's OK, ideally these things are rare and people need to work crazy hours only in those rare situations. I'm super protective about my evening/weekend time but I wouldn't have any problem working the entire weekend like crazy when something like this happens. If it happens too often I will consider finding a better place to work.
The GOPs tactics seem increasingly like something you would see from a "banana republic"...
I agree, as long as the attempt at expertise is not at the expense of getting stuff done. I have met people who have a great grasp of foundational principles and it shows. I have met other people who take so long trying to understand something before they use it, they don't get their work done.

You are so right about the pursuit of excellence being important but the industry is still way too fragmented. If a Doctor said they don't really need to know stuff, they would work it out as they went along, they wouldn't work for long. In Software Engineering, we are still treated (and act!) like some basic trade where the risks are low enough not to care.

Sounds like a great time for the largest spending bill in history.
I think this discussion contrasts two opposite types of "fundamentals".

Some "fundamentals" sit at the base of a knowledge pyramid. If an OS developer doesn't know pointers, there's no easy fix for that. You want someone with years of experience building things on top of pointers.

But other "fundamentals" are more like things that are used very commonly and thus one expects that experts would be familiar with them, but they sit on top of knowledge pyramids. It's not hard for experts to pick them up.

I think this lens can help clarify a lot of these discussions!

If you're really, really good at C, you'll have realized that Rust doesn't add much to what you need to do. You're already doing what Rust does, you're just doing it manually without compiler support. Rust didn't create the issues associated with borrowing things, it merely surfaced them. They're always there, in any language you use, and since C is so manual, you better have figured that out if you plan on using it at a high level. I write mostly in Go, but I'm constantly tracking "ownership" issues in my language despite not having a "borrow checker", because the borrow checker doesn't create the issue.

Plus if you're using C at a high level you ought to be using a static analyzer anyhow, that may not impose the exact same restrictions on you as Rust, but should be imposing enough discipline on you that using Rust doesn't seem so foreign.
You don't think it's settled science that water is H2O?
It's just not that dire yet.

For one, the court hasn't ruled yet. This is purely LinkedIn's argument, and they're allowed to argue anything they want. They could argue that hiQ isn't allowed to access their service because the company name doesn't start with a capital letter if they wanted to. They wouldn't win, but they could make the argument.

Secondly, if you read the context of the case, this is not a situation a normal person is at all likely to find themselves in. hiQ was specifically sent a cease and desist, which is why "bypassing an IP block" is couched in "intentionally and knowingly". IANAL, but a follower of the law, and my layman's reading of that is that LinkedIn is intentionally scoping this to only target subjects that have previously been sent a cease and desist.

And finally, even if they did do that, it's unlikely to impact VPNs for streaming. I severely doubt that any first world country would extradite one of their citizens to the US to face charges for bypassing an IP block.

Within the US, I still doubt the charges would be used like that even if they could. I don't think this is something the FBI is going to spend resources on proactively tracking, so it would be up to Netflix et al to push the cases. I really strongly doubt they would do that. "Paying Netflix customer sued by Netflix for watching content he wasn't supposed to" is a really bad PR headline, and it's mainstream-adjacent enough to get picked up by major news networks. That's a really hard story to spin, and I strongly suspect the bad PR would cost much, much more than people try to avoid region-locks (who are likely to just pirate it if VPNs become CFAA-able).

Also the "Population Bomb" theory of the 1960s/1970s that was supposed to have led to massive famines even in developed countries by now. Although it is still worth noting that the world's population is still increasing even if many development nations are experiencing negative population growth.

And that is excluding API access.

Generally speaking I think it depends on the topic and time of day it is on HN front page. Since HN is mostly US specific so it starts at around GMT-4 during working hours. Yes. People surf HN more during works, that is why you see lower submission on weekends.

I am also suspicious of decline in page view on HN. Compared to pre 2020. At least the upvote number on front page and comments seems to be trending downwards.

And yes, I do wish HN could have more stats available

Using A = P(1 + rt) and setting A = 2P and t = 10 gives r = 1/10 or 10% -- where is my math wrong?
It's not assuming that moral values correlate with skill, it's assuming that if skill is evenly distributed (independent of moral values) then intentional selections of the highest skill from a larger pool will tend to be better than the same from a smaller pool.

I think the real bad assumption is that the sum of individual employee skills correlates with corporate success. The larger the company, the more corruption and economies of scale swamp skill. FAANG products consistently get worse for users as time goes on, and any skill becomes focused on exploiting scale, lobbying, and holes in regulation.

Your little company with skillful employees that build up a great reputation will eventually be purchased or regulated out of existence. Skill may be enough to overcome your competitor's monopoly advantages, but the gap between what your ethics are keeping you from doing and aren't keeping your competitor from doing put you at a double disadvantage.

Even worse, giving up makes you a multi-millionaire and allows you to join the monopolist club (or just retire, if you want.) Powering on until bankruptcy makes you an Uber driver.

> the article itself admits that plenty of professors at UF serve as expert witnesses, but this particular case is unique because UF professors want to testify against the State of Florida, which funds UF.

> obviously UF wouldn't want that.

This part is ridiculous. The "State of Florida" doesn't fund the UF, the Florida taxpayers do! And it's in the taxpayers' interest to get good, equitable laws - not whatever the lawmakers plop out for their own self-interest. The fact that there's a possibility that Florida lawmakers would retaliate against another public institution to the possible detriment of the taxpayers of Florida is the real scandal if this is true.
