And now, in 2021, Google has inflicted their "clarity" on the rest of the world. I miss jobs from the 2000s, the jobs where you were paid to write software for a living.

You know, engineering! Given a task, or set of requirements, develop software on your computer, software which eventually runs on the customer's computer, where it's used to solve the customer's problem.

My most recent full time employment a year ago was at a great company. Healthy culture, some of the most talented coworkers I've ever had the pleasure to work along side.

Over the year I lasted there, I used for the first time: Docker, Golang, Kubernetes, Terraform, Gitlab, Saltstack, Prometheus, (and probably other middleware that my brain has GCd to free space). I was barely able to get anything done. At least, it always felt that way.

Maybe I'm just an idiot, I don't know. I'd accept it if true! What I do know is that I used to be able to build things for people, be compensated well for it, and get satisfaction from a customer liking what I've built. It was simple.

In this brave new world, with containers, pods and this and that and the other thing, where it can take months before one even understands enough primitives to do a "hello world".... how can anything ever get done?? How can anything inventive, creative, or experimental emerge from our industry when the develop/test/improve cycle has gone from minutes to weeks or months?

I don't know what the future looks like, but the present strikes me as unsustainable in the long run.

> Mirroring is different from what your parent comment talks about. Mirroring is simply about repeating, verbatim

well, that might be conversational mirroring, idk, but mirroring is a body language phenomenon, where one person crosses their arms, then the other does, one crosses legs, and the other one does, etc.

it's something people do naturally, unconsciously, and it indicates agreement.

then, it is suggested by salesman types, one should engage in a conscious (cynical) version of it where you mirror somebody on purpose, to make them think that you are in sync with them.

I love Vivaldi feature wise but something about its implementation absolutely wrecks performance and memory usage compared to traditional chromium based browsers. Even disabling most every option and interface doodad I could find with no extensions loaded results in noticeably slower browsing vs other browsers defaults and it carries over into the benchmark results as well, things like Speedometer 2.0 get significantly lower scores and total RAM usage during the test is much higher.
Is this also why you can’t install Monterey on a non-Apple SSD? I haven’t seen an article acknowledging this problem but others are experiencing it in various forums.

My 2013 Mac Pro had an SSD failure so I replaced it with a standard M.2 drive and an adapter. Can’t upgrade.

Most baby boomers (the ones getting all the blame) usually own one house, that they live in... even if the value goes up, they need a place to live in, and the high prices are pretty much everywhere, people actually want to live. The only ones profiting from baby boomers are their kids when they inherit the houses.

Politicians are probably getting paid of by companies investing in housing and buying up hundreds or thousands of houses, because the price increases make it more profitable than many other investments, and (unless there's some legislative action) makes the investment safer than most other high-profit ones (eg. cryptocurrencies).

And the little guy gets fucked in the end.
Exactly this. The amount of time, effort, labor, sourcing tools, parts, coupled with education, or making a costly mistake, etc... The warranty or repair person is actually cheaper if you're able to put a price on your time. They also do better work in most cases.

I just leave it to the professionals because it saves me money/time. I have no doubts I could do my own repair but from this vantage point it's just not a sound investment.
It’s an approach that would have appealed to Asimov’s Lord Dorwin, a dilettantish dignitary obsessed with identifying humanity’s original solar system. Rather than search for it himself, though, Dorwin relies on the findings of long-dead archeologists. When Salvor suggests that he do his own field work, Dorwin is incredulous: Why blunder about in far-flung solar systems when the old masters have covered the ground so much better than we could ever hope to?

In this case, surely Asimov better fills the role of "old master" than the anonymous screenwriters of various lasers-and-robots movies? Thus this conclusion somewhat undercuts the ostensible thesis of TFA.
This is very neat indeed. It could perhaps become an unofficial standard of sorts if enough developers adopt it...
Yeah, it seems like we agree :).
This looks interesting. I've been a globalization architect for ~5-6 years and have used many of the major TMS vendors (and developed my own for internal use).

I see you have support for ICU Message Format. What does the UI look like for a complex ICU string? A big issue I come across is that translators aren't typically technical enough to understand the syntax.

I've dreamed of a TMS that understands an incoming ICU Message Format and spits out a non-technical UI for translators to use. Then after translation it merges it all back together into a single ICU Message string.

You are arguing without any arguments.

1) I agree that some integration is intimately tied to how well the machines performs. I also referenced this in my comment. What I don't agree to is the SSD being soldered on. It uses the same PCIe lanes it would use if it was swappable ! As for the "stupid" approach, it really doesn't make much sense to tie the capability of the machine FUNCTIONING to a storage that you cannot change (and that is bound to break eventually from wear & tear, because it's an SSD).

2) The iPhone are a different story. It's a different requirement all together. You have to fit EVERYTHING in a couple of mm2 of surface. That's a very tough requirement, and everyone understands that you can't have the ability of swapping an SSD and having the portability that the iPhone offers at the same time. The same is simply not true for a professional laptop.

3) I sincerely don't see how an iBoot-inspired design would replace UEFI anytime soon. The latter is more powerful as far as I can tell (please correct me if I'm wrong).

4) The "support" plan you're describing is in my eyes extortion. If I can buy an SSD for 100€ on Amazon, and replace it down the line 5 years from now, it really doesn't compare to paying 200€ / year for an insurance, when all it covers is bringing your laptop to its original state. A swappable SSD can be expanded down the line when storage gets denser / cheaper.

All-in-all, I do agree and fully support a degree of integration that's backed by technical motives (i.e. Otherwise unattainable performance), but when the motives start turning into more lock-in and sell-up motives, that's where my support ends.

I genuinely do not understand how you could view this as a "good" thing. As for the 90% users who are not going to manually swap out SSDs, it would still be the same ! They won't have to touch them !

Could you tell us more about what kind of game you like? There are enough Linux-native games that you can find several in any genre.

The best Linux-native game I've played recently has been "Sunless Sea"[0]. It's basically an interactive novel with a fascinating subterranean setting.

But, Sunless Sea might be totally wrong for you -- it depends what you're looking for!

This is neat! I wonder if there would be value in having a repo for only GUI applications, equivalent to casks. I suppose it works best when the application doesn’t also auto-update, which many do.

It works OK.
What is the solution?

I've worked at big companies that are mired in process because they would rather spend more time crossing i's and dotting t's than risk breaking something. I can see why.

And I've worked at smaller companies where the clients are small and it's easy to fix things that break. Move fast and break things at a small scale maybe.

But how do you grow to be a big company and still operate like a small company? I can't seem to see an answer.

I was forced back into it after years of using GSuite and....it's just as clunky as I remember.

Science is done by clearly and logically addressing doubt. Sweeping doubt under the rug and showing prejudice in which evidence is presented is antithetical to the impetus of science (a disimpassioned search for unwavering truth). I'm surprised this is published in nature.

> proof of work on the other hand

Doesn't that have the same fault? People with the most money can prove the most work.
“Culture fit” is predicated on the type of culture an organization has. I’ve worked with some groups that genuinely respected and valued diversity of both identity and opinion.

In my experience it gets harder to do this as organizations grow and become less focused in their hiring strategy.

It really requires a high bar for every single hire. There’s a couple things I try to determine in every interview process:

* is this person comfortable in giving themselves an honest criticism of their own work? If they can’t comfortably find their own faults, they’re not likely to respect when others do it.

* can the person logically entertain an idea without emotionally committing to it? And if they have a bias, do they recognize it? Just with simple stuff: “I’m partial to [insert technology] because I have experience with it” is a great answer, and “[x technology] is what you need to do this” is a red flag.
Yup. I just got a M1 Max with the 32-core GPU, 64GB of RAM, etc. The only area I cheaped out, relatively speaking, was with storage. Where I kept it at 1TB. I sort of regret this now (despite having a 2TB SSD in my iMac, a 2TB SSD in my gaming PC, several 1TB external SSDs, and a NAS with 24TB all in my home), but after spending over $4300 with tax/Apple Care, I just couldn't stomach a $400 upsell. But I spent $4300 in the hopes that this will be a five year laptop. I think I'll be fine as far as storage goes, since so much of what I do is on clouds anyway, but I am already having minor "what if" pangs, since I can't upgrade the SSD.
We use it to settle pronunciation arguments.

Sometimes we find that we're both right when the word has multiple pronunciations. Those are the best.
How do you see that? Zillow uses local agents and their sellers to sell houses. There's no battle there. In fact, the sellers get more money from this transition because the artificial price increase positively impacts them.
Interesting UX.

Certainly more complex sites would need more complex controls. I have a love hate relationship with Webflow. On one hand I'm much faster coding HTML and CSS by hand, but Webflow handles the things I don't want to handle. Stuff like collections, pagination, forms, etc. Can I build all of those things? Sure, but it's a waste of my time if I can click a button and get a form up that sends me an email in less than 30 seconds.

There are so many things that Webflow does not do though. Stuff like excluding pages from an autogenerated sitemap (no idea how this isn't a feature), sending a follow up email when someone submits a form (I need to use Zapier to do this), gaited content that's user specific (something like memberstack, but better), more control over managing large numbers of pages. Like if I want to add a word to every page title instance of every page, I have to go into every single page's settings and update it. For a site with 100+ pages it's not feasible. I could list a dozen other missing features.

So do you see Typedream competing with Webflow, and getting into more complex controls, and even building some of the integrations you have listed as native features (which I'd personally love so I don't have to have 1000 subscriptions just to run a marketing site), or is the vision to stay simple, and target other use cases?
“Haters” ok. I feel like that is just a cheap deflection from legitimate criticism.
I think of those sorts of things as paradoxical people requirements.

To wit, only people interested in new languages spend lots of effort building new languages (and their associated ecosystems).

People who have been using an existing language for years, long enough to internalize the design decisions and flaws, have little incentive to stop using something they're an expert at, to build something new.

Ergo, the person you really want designing a language and ecosystem is someone who's used existing art enough to be an expert, then decides to give it all up, start from scratch, and do something harder.

There aren't many of those people.
In general I have far preferred the coworkers who have had an honest heated reaction instead of the ones who play passive/aggressive mind games to try and get their way.

It can be whatever angry word you want to call it, but not directed at you, and that's just fine with me.

A cool and collected discussion is preferred, of course.
Another question: what type of placeholders / tokens does this support? I see ICU Message Format, but what about `%d` or `%s` type placeholders
It wasn't flattened like in many consumer and business targeted email readers these days. Which was a sharp contrast with Google's other main communication product, Gmail, which flattened threads into conversations.

> Another way to make rent more affordable is to raise the tax rate on income generated from residential rentals to the point that people are not buying up all of the housing stock for the sake of investment alone.

Wouldn’t that just mean there would less rental opportunities because people wouldn’t rent out properties due to the increased tax burden?

Not really seeing how such a plan would work out since it would increase rents across the board from lack of supply and the higher taxes being passed along to renters.
The similarity seems more than skin deep though; the "Loop components" data model as it's described in the linked article sounds similar to the underlying data model in Notion.

Notion doesn't have the multi-cursor live coauthoring feature though; that's new.

Do you know if the Fluid Framework is built on top of CRDTs?
I think it should be obvious the sentiment expressed in antiwork is far from the mindset of those on HN. HN is specifically a community who mostly by choice spend their time in their career, and exploring concepts central to the skills which happen to be required to find success in their career. Modern stem is not for the uninterested. However it is important to understand that there is so much godamn meaningless and overtly superfluous work being done. The point of massive periods of invention and artificial evolution throughout human history I HAVE to believe have been centered around being able to “work” less. When people started using pulleys to build large works, I doubt the mindset was oh now I can build many more large works, as opposed to now I can accomplish building in far less time with far less effort. We create and innovate so that we may have recreational time. Yes for the HN community this is redundant, as a large number of us would like to be entrepreneurs or coding the day away for the inherent value that solving problems brings. But this is not necessarily a superior mindset to those whose recreation and leisure time does not inherently “produce”.
Aside from the jest above, there's plenty of games with native support in Linux.

- Half-Life 2 series has great support.

From what I've heard: Google docs had multi-user editing, but it wasn't real time. Periodically the document would upload, be synchronized with other copies, and then update on the clients. Wave's real time cursor, synchronization, and conflict resolution algorithms were integrated into docs.
