> It is and will be yet another technology available to those who want to use it. Email is not an evolution of papermail, the internet is not an evolution of the telephone. It adds value, it does not displace the internet.

I disagree. The only thing most people get via papermail is important government/bank communications and bills. Lots of people forgo the use of a telephone and communicate exclusively via internet chat/calls.

There is a reason to be worried. Like those older technologies, VR/”metaverse" may render more classical paradigms of computing, communication and interaction obsolete - meaning, leave them either for legacy uses only, or make them only useful within a smaller circle of friends or family where the use of such classical methods can be pre-agreed and enforced.

Capacitor creator and co-founder of Ionic here (company that owns and works on Capacitor).

If you aren't familiar with Capacitor, it's a way for web devs to build cross-platform apps using standard web technology and any popular web stack. For example, you can build mobile apps using popular stacks like Next.js + Tailwind as in this example: https://github.com/mlynch/nextjs-tailwind-ionic-capacitor-st....

We've got some exciting things in the pipeline like a Project API for automating configuration (whitelabling/CI/etc), E2E testing, easier native HTTP features, resource generation (splash/icon/etc).

Happy to answer any questions about Capacitor!
If you look at future predictions they almost always make the same mistake: they're based on the technology available at the time they were made.
That's pretty common for TBDRs. The tile is rendered into a fixed size on chip buffer, and the driver has to split the tile into multiple passes to fit all of the render target data for nutty amounts of data coming out of the shader. PowerVR works the same way (completely unsurprisingly).

I recommend apply a lot, because you never know, but preface/make it clear with every one of them that you are a self-learner. The key point is that you don't show them you're insecure about it.

Finding niche areas such as Rust, Haskell, Clojure, Elixir, Julia, C/C++ would maximize your chances because the mainstream language jobs will be swarmed with formally educated candidates.
As an individual contributor, the review process was at least one day of productivity gone; people manager's time spent is even higher. What a tremendous waste of company resources to go through that once a month.

Maybe some sort of streamlined process could work, but I've always thrived on benign neglect, so I dunno. Could be handled in a monthly 1:1 meeting; hey tuorin, nice work this month; hey toast0, stop goofing off or you'll get a meets most. Etc. Faster feedback cycles is good if it's meaningful and actionable. When it's just hey I've got to fit you all to the corporate curve, meh, less often is better.
Ask HN: Why do developers blog on Medium while it's paywalled?
Unfortunately, there's so much good content on Medium that appears at the top of Google search as well, but non-subscribers are deprived of such content.

At the same time, I see lots of discussion here on HN about how many developers care for the free and open internet. How is it then, that many developers write and contribute to such paywall websites?

And it's not just Medium. Many websites are built on top of Medium and they too get paywalled.
I think you're generally on the right track.

Small correction: fibers (blocking or non-blocking) never used threads in any way. Fibers are "stackful coroutines", another concurrency primitive.

They're pretty hard to understand, and unfortunately I can't find a good explanation of "Ruby Fibers" that I can link to.
> The other approaches mentioned above tend to make the tradeoff the other way--the consumer pays marginal cost of copying, but less art gets produced than consumers would like.

This is what proponents of IP claim. Many even think it is so obvious that there is no need for evidence, but anyway, I'd be keen to see some evidence for the claim.

I can think of a handful of immaterial goods that are not under IP (e.g food recipes and financial innovations). What is common on those is that I am quite happy with the amount available of those immaterial goods (what comes to financial innovation, one might argue that there have been a bit too much of that at some point of our history)
Young people are leaving their jobs in record numbers and not going back
As with the collisions in the western Pacific several years ago, I don't see anyone addressing the overwhelming workload and lack of resources provided to the US Navy. I read much about those collisions, not such much about this fire, so the following is based mostly on the former.

In absolute terms, they are very well funded of course. But what I read over and over is that there isn't time for training, because the demand we put on them - the world is a very large place - is much higher. They are told to cut training and deploy. After the collisions, they decided that officers (at least some positions) were too overworked and discussed (maybe implemented) limiting their workweeks to 100 hours.

Think of any organization; when the choice is product or training, many managers will cut the latter, even at the obvious long-term cost. The pressure and immediate demand are too great. If someone is working over 100 hours per week, if they can get a break by cutting training, that actually seems like a valid choice - they need to function.
It's weird that this is just a side-effect of the way strtol works, but there's no way (that I can figure out) to get + or - involved.

FaceTime definitely hasn't connected me to anyone even once. I've never owned an Apple device and never plan to do so (unless as a curiosity). FaceTime doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. We need more interoperability, not less.
You are right. I just thinked of a pirated version of Adobe Photoshop I once run for years just by keeping the system time basically constant, without changing anything else. Inconsistencies in this "scheme" are easy to check, just create a few "cornermark" files with timestamps. At startup, scan for these files and check if their timestamps are in the past. Of course this can be easy to "hack" from a user perspective, which is why I told this a cat-and-mouse game :-)
This isn't skeumorphism, it's just fake.
There is a massive hit to entrepreneurship because of lack of blanket healthcare. As if it were not enough to risk everything on a bootstrapped business, I have to now risk pulling the short straw, getting hit by a car and going destitute? I don't think so.

How many people out there are doing the 9 to 6 because of that? I am one of them. I have a software business idea, but I either need to:

1. Save a ton of money to pay the ludicrous levels of private health insurance.

2. Get married to a city or federal employee, so I can be on their health insurance.

In my case, it will be #2, but it's a total coincidence that she is one of those.

In the meantime, those of means have plenty of cushion to fall on, trying and failing over and over, until they hit it. Most of us don't have the option of failing even once.
I don't think it's that programmers are, on average, less empathetic than "non-programmers/techies/whater."

In my experience, it's always been that people who are technically-minded, usually don't have the soft skills to make it look like they care -- without really getting emotionally involved at all.

Most people are just trying to go about their day and deal with their problems as they come up. Whether they be financial, emotional, inter-rational, mental, or what have you; everyone is primarily focused on themselves.

Most people will feign empathy and side-step such things with some tact, because their livelihoods and current level of comfort relies on other people liking (or atleast tolerating) them. Whereas programmers have a little bit more insulation -- a moat if you will -- for being tactless jackasses, because other people will still tolerate them (for the moment), so long as they ship that code and stay in their caves, away from real people.

The same is true about many BB IBankers: what's the point in being a decent human being? You're getting paid fat stacks to brown-nose. The best, most soul-less brown-nosers get rewarded by making MD/VP. Whether or not you have empathy is irrelevant to your compensation, i.e. your comfort and livelihood, i.e. your goals.

> “Private equity is an apprenticeship and relationship business, and you cannot apprentice by Zoom. You cannot learn by Zoom.”
What struck me when I read that comment is it sounds He is unwilling or unable to let the mechanisms of this type of business evolve.

In 2020 in 2021 companies who had an operating mode that could support remote work were less affected than those who physically could not support it as easily (food service for example). Some such as mine actually saw productivity gains and a cost savings (Office space expenses).

Everything has to adapt to a changing world, and business and finance is not excluded. I had a good fortune to change roles during the pandemic, the one that was not only fully remote but out of state. I interact more with people today than I did a year ago, and 90% of my team was hired after I was. If you hire people who can only learn physically shoulder to shoulder, you are making poor hiring or retention decisions.

> You cannot compare the buzz and energy of everyone being back in the office working together, in conference rooms and walking around hallways, to a hybrid or remote workforce,”

It’s likely I will forever interpret “buzz and energy“ as the desire to squeeze mythical levels of productivity out of every minute of every person’s day. It’s not about efficiency, it’s about squeezing people for everything You can get from them, even if it means burning them out.

Evolved or go extinct. The attitudes in that article sound like they were written by a dinosaur.
You comment reminds me of this article that I can't put my hands on, that explained that the generalization of washing machines actually increased work time in some situations, because with it came the expectation of wearing cleaner clothes.
Sure. You can trace branches to quantifiable roots, but you can’t trace readability. To me, readability means something different than what it means to the author of that article.
Yeah I guess part of my line of thinking was the the undefined behavior of C is a sort of complexity you may not get in Ada.

I actually love the language, and am kinda sad it doesn’t see much use anymore. I saw a job some weeks back that involved porting a bunch of Ada code on VAX to C#/Windows and I just didn’t have the heart to apply lmao.
Wasn't this known from day 1? COVID-19 vaccines were never going to give us sterilizing immunity. I still don't understand what's the long term plan in countries that are trying to reach 100% vaccination rate, but yeah, there's going to be boosters forever unless a new sterilizing vaccine is developed or countries decide to change their COVID policies at some point.
I used to work in a store with a credit card terminal that normally used the internet but was hooked up to a phone line as a backup. When the internet went out the line would back up because the dialing process was so slow, but at least we were still in business. Seems like this is probably still a reasonable backup measure for retailers to have in place, if you already have a phone line it doesn't cost you much.
It can be fun to look at high value addresses and see the quantities and transaction dates. Hard to say how many old ones are lost or if they are dormant long term holders.

There are two stories that come to mind, and I agree with your assessment.

1. In 2007 during the height of the financial market crash CNBC had a helicopter hovering over the northern VA house of a finance guy from one of the banks / insurers who was going belly up that had killed himself. The striking thing to me was how poor, aesthetically, the house was. Typical DC burbs McMansion trash. Plastic (vinyl) patio railing that was leaning here and there as it began to fail, landscaping that was obviously maintained by someone who had no concept of the original landscape design (bushes were either over or under trimmed). Windows that didn't match, but were rather selected from a catalog of pre-made designs haphazardly to fit a pre-drawn opening. Of course he killed himself when the money was taken, he had nothing of real value... if his living arrangements were any indication he spent all his money on worthless shit.

2. The story about the all glass Apple HQ injuring its employees because they couldn't subconsciously tell where the walls were as they walked around the building. They would incessantly walk into glass walls and break their noses, bruise their chins, etc. I wanna say I heard later that Apple silently had the building modified. If the ideology that built such an office building had to describe itself in a sentence, it would have to be "turning the collective eyes of the employees into the eye of Sauron, only without the dark lord's self awareness."
One has to wonder how much of military "tech" is simply fake. Until its use is demonstrated in war (which i absolutely do not advocate, and is known to affected by propaganda as well), all the incentives from weapons' manufacturers and buyers are to exaggerate features and effectiveness. The main victim is the gullible public, who funds the military-industrial complex with taxes.
Which part of that comment makes it sound great?

And if you think kids in factories were safer, you probably don't know much about how child work in factories functioned.
I respect this argument but I'm curious as to how the smallness of a language would be beneficial to a developer, if the goal is to be able to rapidly build applications which are still quite performant.

C, when run on the same exact machine as Java, is only a few x faster in the best case scenario to my understanding. And as complexity of the application grows, there is a chance that you don't manage your memory properly, something which a garbage collected language usually does well enough.

Couple in the rich libraries for both languages, I think I would still choose java unless I was writing an embedded system.
That reminds me, knowing how to set aside the past and reenter a market is a skill in itself. I first heard about it in 2012 but had no knowledge of risk/reward to act. Started dabbling in 2014, lost all gambling in 2015. Didn't make any money by trading too much in 2017. But through all these experiences I was able to make sure I didn't miss out after the 2020 halving. We are still so early, I don't know anyone else personally with a proper size position. Most humans stress about having too much or too little. But true zen is being able to say you're just right and early. We are only 1 decade into a future with true digital scarcity
That could be the sailor, but I would bet on the organization and leadership: In many organizations, bearing the bad news just creates enormous work and trouble for yourself, for your teammates, and rarely accomplishes anything.

Small time farmers in capitalist nations who did not serve a lord should have even more comfortable lives than peasants. According to this anti-capitalist narrative, it would be absolutely absurd for these people to abandon their their small farms and family to work in a crowded factory for longer hours and more dangerous conditions. And yet it happened anyways, suggesting that the life a a peasant wasn't as idyllic as the author seems to think it was.

I think it's a fairly well-understood causal inference problem to figure out how much effort (money) needs to be spent on other people for GDP growth from that one person to offset the money spent on them by society.

We just need someone to step up and collect the data.
I go through this very similar thought process every time I look at bitcoin. I don’t know how much I ever accumulated, it wasn’t much, but I was definitely tinkering with it very early on before it had any real value. I plugged coinbase into a checking account that I could easily dripped in 10 bucks a month since like 2012. But I didn’t do any of that, I just ignored it.

Fast forward to now and I see those as missed opportunities, but the reality is there’s no way I would’ve held until now. Or I would’ve lost it. Or something else.
Yes, I agree with the OP who noted the frequent warnings about doing humanities doctoral degrees without being payed in total to do it. However, higher education is full of all of these dark patterns where people get looped into something, and gaslit into accepting certain conditions under some promise that it's temporary, etc and so forth. Sometimes it is, but sometimes it's not.

The real scandal to me at some level is that the administration isn't just paying some livable wage with benefits, and so forth. If it's more expensive, pass those costs to the students and see if they pay for it. If not, don't string people into it as a career.

Politicians constantly call for there to be some sort of costs to universities in terms of return on investment, with demands that degrees be paid as a percent of future wages, etc. But often the problems are more straightforward, with universities burying the true costs on the supply side. It's very similar to the textile industry, or fishery industries, where you get a nice-looking affordable shirt, and all the horrors involved in its production are hidden from society. Add in administrative largesse and it all becomes frankly immoral. I suspect if universities just paid people as they should be paid, with benefits, at the faculty levels that are necessary, and charged a true price, people would respond in kind.

Higher education is a disaster at the moment. Sometimes we get news coverage of what matters, but often it gets wrapped up in tangential distracting political debates. Fraud, abuse, and corruption are the norm. It's not just the humanities either.
When I tutored computer science at the community college, I often felt like some of our students were constantly trying to trick me into writing code for them. Idk if other tutors often did that for them or what, but it was frustrating for me.

Avoiding getting sucked into touching their keyboards was what I had to do, too.
IMO this kind of thinking is narrow-minded. Americans seem very opposed to taxing wealth for some reason. I believe it's a fear of change mostly, or perhaps an irrationally strong belief in some narrow school of economic thought.

Even if you are fully indoctrinated though and are ideologically opposed to a wealth tax, perhaps you can recognize the insanity of capital gains tax, whereby Bezos (upon selling his shares) pays just 15%.

100 BTC is roughly 6M, 1000 is 60M. FTX.US has 35M depth moving the price 2% downward. Binance has 23M, Bitfinex 35M, Coinbase 15M.

So basically you could liquidate 1000 BTC in a market sell if you split it across some exchanges and cause a 2% move downward. More if you were a bit smarter about selling and not just straight dumping it.
