I think the way vscode is currently managed, it won't hold up to time if the trend continues. A competitor that strips the baggage might just kill it, even if there is a lot of user content by then.

Vim and Emacs are console editors for me. The most significant difference for me is sensible mouse support. I used Emacs just for LaTeX, otherwise I use mostly unhacked vim. It is very useful to be familiar with one of them, but nano is awesome too and I always mention it for new developers.

I believe vscode is successful because it is simple. Just like how JSON was successful compared to XML for simple applications. It isn't better than XML, but most applications are too simple to warrant XML features and resulting complexity.

For C# I prefer VS instead of vscode and I fear vscode tries to be both, a code editor with extended features vs a fully integrated IDE. For some language like JS vscode already has become an IDE with advantages and disadvantages and it is quite often very opinionated here.
It addresses the least privilege issue, and maybe package size (depending how intelligent your build tooling is).
What Ryzen laptop would you recommend with performance and battery life roughly equivalent to an M1 MacBook Air? A lot of people on HN obsess over benchmarks, but people buy laptops, not CPUs. I haven’t yet seen a product that’s competitive with the M1 MacBook Air in its niche (which to be fair isn’t really a niche - a laptop for what 90% of people use their laptops for).

I went to a similar process to work in the company that I always dreamed to work on:

- First interview, HR: 30 minutes

- Second round, Code test: 3 hours, I passed

- Third round: Interview with my possible manager (30 minutes), I passed. Then I was informed there were 2 more rounds (a system engineer interview, and a diversity manager). 1 hour each, fine. We can do it.

Then out of the blue, I get an email from another HR employee saying that they are testing a new hiring process and now I would have to go through a 2 x 90 minutes pair programming session, with two different engineers, then talk with one engineering manager, then the diversity one, then if everything went well, I would get a job offer (until this point, we didn't even talk about money).. So, basically I'm just giving up on that. It makes me actually sad, because I invested so much energy in the code test, understanding the product, reading actually part of the source code of the product, to come to the meeting with my possible manager as well prepared as possible..
In the end I had the impression that the hiring manager wanted me in the team, but the second HR person didn't really care about it. I was just one more task in his TODO list.

EDIT:

And actually my question to HN would be: Should I inform the hiring manager why I'm giving up on that?
This is surprisingly delightful! Something so simple as trying to match what I find aesthetically pleasing and what is a productive, bug friendly garden is a very fun task. Like an organic Factorio.

Just because a drone has a tracker does not mean that the company is obligated to give the location to the owner.
You did not purchase this service. Besides, giving you the drone's location indirectly means that their company is collecting drone information in real time, which is not permitted.

Not only attractive girls, but attractive guys too! The majority of my Genshin-playing friends are female, for what it's worth. I'm sure that's definitely helped them, as many similar games are solely marketed towards teen guys. Big gap in the market, and they took it.

> I drive a car that I have no idea if it will blow up, I drive over bridges that I have no idea if they will fall down, I eat food that might have E. coli on it, I bathe in water that might have Legionnaires and carcinogens, and I take vaccines that doctors tell me to take.

Sure, and in most cases it works out very well, until some new info about the car comes out, e.g. reports of it frequently exploding, some of the bridges frequently falling down etc. Article coming out by a reputable journal about how safety tests for the car were botched. The car uses some sort of new untested electric battery that wasn't tested for explosions at all.

> Yes, it is a disservice. The USA’s single greatest asset is trust within its society.

For me trust doesn't work like that. If something seems too good to be true, I lose trust. If negative things about something are censored I lose trust. I have trust when both good and bad things are talked about openly, data is transparent and can be validated.

> Everything can be tainted by money and greed. It is a useless platitude. If you want to maintain consistency in that kind of reasoning, it would be best to go live in the woods and farm your own food.

It's not useless. I need to know whether main motivation with vaccines is greater good or it is money. If it's greater good, then yes, maybe I am doing a disservice in my view. If it's money over society, then I'd believe I'm doing the right thing by spreading the information.
Friends have suggested much the same, yeah. It feels unlikely due to a few factors, but I'm very willing to chalk that up to naivete on my part.

(If nothing else, it's a convenient fiction that allows one to move on.)
> outside of just a camera in the sky

This sounds a little dismissive ... a camera in the sky is a tremendously useful tool.

There are of course the art application, the "make memories" application that can be perceived as nice but not that important.

But how about: search and rescue, automated land surveying, 3D reconstruction of buildings and landscape, understanding the impact of new architectural projects on the environment, etc ... ?

Combine the "just a camera in the sky" with ML and that's a lot of new applications (and therefore business opportunities).
From the developer perspective, I can certainly relate.

Real RS232 may sound nice, but in the last 15 years or so, I didn't come upon any problem that couldn't be solved by a $5 USB to RS232 converter. And those things don't need any more space in your pocket than a regular RS232 cable.
Wait, so the idea to close the gap is to lower the standards so you need less effort to score better?
There’s a lot of UI elements that are not in the set of html elements. Sometimes you need different behaviours.

Interested in opinions from other drone operators in picking a Mavic 3. I already have a Mavic 1, two Mavic 2s and a Mini 2. I photograph and film mostly tourism content. I'm interested in getting 50fps+ at 4K but with good stability in the wind (which I'm not sure the Air2S has).

There's a solid jump from the base to flymore - $800. I need the batteries, need filters, need the charger but don't care about the bag. Batteries are $420 for two. Charging hub is $90. Filters $180.

Cine is $5k. For the $2k jump, it gives more filters (never used higher than ND16), pro controller, SSD and ProRes. SSD would be handy, but I fly over the ocean a bit and frequently change microSDs to "bank" good footage I don't want to lose if the drone drops or hits a bird. I'd be keen to get the smart controller. Does ProRes give enough to justify the cost (editing and grading performance, etc)?

Currently leaning towards the base, filters, charging options, smart controller and then a few batteries. Alternatively, I already have two iPad minis I use now, so I could stick with the default controller and keep using those. The new RC Pro is US$1,200!

Thoughts?

While point #1 is of course valid, it is most useful for new code, or code with significant resources behind it to optimise it for lambda.

For people with an established codebase, not wanting to go all in on lambda/serverless, or wanting to use existing frameworks, the trade-off might be worth it.
They’re pretty lacking. <select> is a great example: no searching/filtering, no ability to have styled/multiline text in <option>s, nor anything that’s not plain text (so no SVG iconography for example).

People constantly have to reinvent the wheel to offer fairly basic functionality, so it’s good that there are libraries to handle the behaviour and accessibility side well while supporting whatever visual styles you want to make.

Thanks for that tip; obviously I was wondering about patents.

But I would like to see the idea implemented. For that to happen, somebody would have to pick it up and run with it. Like, somebody would have to pitch it to transport authorities; but I'm no salesman.

Also, the idea is fairly complex; it would probably involve lots of patents. It would be better for the idea to die in my brain, than for me to get a score of patents, none of which is ever implemented. That would be a waste of my time and trouble.

The contents of that book mention NDAs, which I hadn't really thought about; I could discuss these ideas with some suitable company under the terms of an NDA, I guess. Next problem is: how to find a "suitable company" to talk to.

Thanks again; I didn't know there were books on how to do a DIY patent.

I live in Ireland and although (((I))) might be more sensitive to it than you, I think it comes up quite a lot. A week or two ago The Irish Times (IT) was agog at Sally Rooney's decision not to allow her newest book to be published in Hebrew. The opinion pieces, letters pages, and of course Reddit were alive with praise for her "bold and courageous stance".

This kind of thing comes up every few weeks, at least it does if you read the IT who's editorial policies have a pretty clear slant on this - as is completely their right - even if I don't much like it.

This week the attention was on the Minister of Foreign Affairs and his dislike of Israel's recent classification of several NGOs as terrorist organizations.

It is possible to use the InvocationType "Event" [1] when invoking a Lambda. Then the API returns immediately, but you will never know if there was an error during the execution of the Lambda.

Interesting. I lived in Switzerland near Zurich from when I was 5 until 9 and could speak fluent Schwiizerdüütsch at the time. Unfortunately in the 30+ years since I seem to have forgotten it all. The last time I went skiing in Switzerland I couldn't understand anything on the radio.

Is there anywhere where one can read Swiss German news online because I'm wondering if it might be possible for me to reawaken those dormant memories?

I think most people are well aware the risk a company take for a hire, and therefore is a weird min-max process of increasing the minimum qualification of the applicant and then select on maximum.

People are just frustrated how that is implemented, how asymmetric the time-effort is, and how some of these practices are unjustified(incompetent). And because it's futile to actually complain about this to the company (or often, even while in the company) most people can only vent about it.

Sure, if a FAANG level company start the process by asking applicant to do a >hour test I think people would understand. But a Startup, mid-sized company who offer below-medium compensation ask you to solve a business/toy problem that takes more than a half-day in the first/early stage of hiring process there's actually some self-reflection to be done by the company too.

> deleting all of a website’s script-writable storage after seven days of Safari use without user interaction on the site.

So as long as you access the application once a week, you're safe. Or, alternatively:

> As mentioned, the seven-day cap on script-writable storage is gated on “after seven days of Safari use without user interaction on the site.” That is the case in Safari. Web applications added to the home screen are not part of Safari and thus have their own counter of days of use. Their days of use will match actual use of the web application which resets the timer. We do not expect the first-party in such a web application to have its website data deleted.

Still, horrible idea and horrible implementation, but I think it's known by know that Apple/Safari will always be hostile towards web apps as it cuts into their own App Store revenue.
You might say Brexit is a self inflicted wound, but it was sparked by that refugee crises.

You're right that proper border security doesn't solve the humanitarian and logistical crises. But I don't think that's a good argument for doing away with border controls all together. Your position seems to be that uncontrolled migration causes no harm, which seems a pretty extreme position to take.

Most of these countries have excellent social safety nets and public services which are now available to any migrants who achieve legal status. While contributing little in taxes back. If they don't get status they also don't pay any taxes.

I would argue the burden of proof is on you to establish that those migrants do no harm to the society rather than assuming they don't until proven otherwise.

Wokeness is a religion. As such that is fine but why pretend otherwise.
is that the idea, or is that how it's being framed? It could also be to raise the standards so that low-performing students in the class are held to a higher bar.
This is not a good-faith argument. If you cannot address disagreement without asserting that your interlocutors are glove-puppet, how are we to progress?

If you're going to argue from authority, then you have to be prepared to have the authority questioned. This isn't the USSR. We're allowed to say that your holy texts are nonsense.
Atomics and mutexes constrain memory reordering. Stores and loads while holding a mutex can't be reordered so that they happen outside the mutex lock (because there are compiler/cpu memory barriers in mutex lock/unlock).

Given that Rust's "shared xor mutable" is guarded with mutexes, atomics or other synchronization primitives, memory reordering can't violate Rust's memory safety guarantees (assuming the sync primitives are not buggy, of course).

But this does not guarantee that your program logic is correct if you are sloppy with memory ordering. If you do two atomic stores, they are not guaranteed to occur in that order if they use "relaxed" ordering.

This gets more complex if you're writing device drivers and communicating with peripheral devices using memory mapped i/o.

Well, same answer, actually. The elected politicians can't really interfere with personnel matters for either getting rid of people or hiring people, so no.

The idea is that people working for the city should be immune to changes among the elected officials, for better or worse. And this time it's for worse.

Students don't typically pick their high schools. They're sorted into one based on their address. Transfers are possible, within enrollment limits, and subject to a parent's willingness to go through the paperwork, but they're certainly not the norm.
Multi-purpose boards ranging from ~Nano-ITX to Flex-ATX in size. Typical features include dual power inputs, a bunch of ethernet ports, rs232 & rs485 ports, isolated gpios, analog inputs, wireless modem (3g/lte/5g), and more depending on the board. These are used for things such as hooking up on prem sensors and alarm systems, providing redundant internet / vpn connectivity for devices, remote management of devices that either don't have direct internet support at all or aren't actually secure enough to be exposed (or just can't allocate a public IP address and thus need a tunnel/vpn for management), etcetra.
