Once again Rust does not force you to handle errors, you can ignore errors in Rust and it will compile. I can't say for Haskell but I doubt there is a language that forces you to handle error.

let _ = openFile()

Error ignored, it does compile, it will probably ends badly.

Back around 1993 when my dad was also buying every CD in the damn world, he bought a giant Sony setup, amp, receiver, CD changer, dual tape deck...

It was all garbage after a few years. Funny enough, the 70's Marantz stuff my mom has all still works. Nothing like hearing the speakers 'pop' when it turns on, the bluish glow of the receiver, turning those knobs, and watching the meters jump around to the music.
Definitely. When I was a kid we had a Pioneer SX-1250 just like the one pictured in TFA. Compared to modern equipment (or even most stuff that was made only a decade later), it's hard to overstate the incredibly solid, high quality 'feel' of every switch, knob and button on the thing.

I know that sounds like overstatement and wishful memories of the good 'ol days, but it's not--that thing really was beautiful.

Great book! I went trough it to better understand Turing's paper. The annotations in it and remarks of Turing's bugs help clarify a bunch of stuff. I would bet that the original reviewers of the paper had no idea what Turing what writing about or where to lazy to check it and to find the things that Petzold notes. I still remember the chapter where turing's development of maths in the paper resembles Brouwer's intuitionism.
Side note: angle grinders are vastly underappreciated

Maybe it's because I didn't grow up (completely) on a farm, but between circular saw (regular blade), angle grinder, and circular saw (diamond blade) you can cut and shape just about everything with enough care.

TIFF also supports optional compression (usually LZW or Zip).
One thing that's concerned me about ebikes is helmets. I ride one that can pretty easily handle 25, and if a person is using an old helmet from preMIPs, or has been through a crash that's not going to offer enough protection at those speeds. You need snell, or dot or something certified for faster speeds.
It's still a net negative; there's no perpetual machine inside. Regen braking can only do so much. And if you're towing you're even in worse shape with battery life.
Are e-bikes bringing biking to the masses? At least here in the UK it seems that standard cycling is very common among ordinary people (and a basic bike can be bought for £50-£100). Whereas e-bikes are mainly owned by the relatively wealthy as they sell for upwards of £1000.

No, i do not. But i suggest having environments, that teach those technicians over time the basics and shove them towards searching for engineering knowledge for solutions and incooperate best practices.

I'm violently opposed to crunching those "self-thought" to death in no-code-marathons were they are expected to realize complex behaviour with declawed software-Lego-bricks.

Software is eating their world too.

I have heard these lines a thousand times by now.

Its different - we have processes that require hard "Real-time"-capable hard and software..

So.. Space X and all those other projects using hard real-time in the lower decks, are not software controlled devices?

Its different -we have physical processes we control at the end of day. So a amazon package logistic center is not a physical process? A self-driving car is not a physical process?

Its different, reliability is huge if the process ever fails. So Google and AWHs DevOps do not have that pressure?

Its exactly this. Just another, run-down department of CS. Run-down to save a few cents and now running into the limitations its No-Code solutions impose. Grinding good, untrained people to dust, because it wants to save money.
And thus ready for disruption.

No, but Agriculture does have top secret-cleared foreign service personnel (Foreign Agricultural Service and APHIS). They probably have at least a soft intelligence role for foreign markets and trade deals.
Capitalism often avoids real innovation and sticks to the safe path. I suspect we’d be technologically a lot farther along in important ways without it.
Again, the context is important: You need to look at the percentages retained in those funding rounds relative to what was happening at the time. Their low capital needs, which gained them leverage, and the following high return spawned a generation of bootstrapped software startups. And since the VC pot of money is finite, hardware startups (the domain of the article's author) became quite unfashionable by the standards of the 90s.
"Venture funds are big:

... The VCs running a $1 billion fund don't have the time to manage one thousand $1 million investments.

VCs collude:

...

I attended a recent talk by a VC luminary, who gloated over the state of the venture industry, after money for technology start-ups was scarce. Here's my summary of the VC's view:

"A year ago there was too much money available, so there was too much competition to fund good ideas. ... Valuations are reasonable and, with few rivals in each sector, new markets will develop--as they might not have with many rivals."

This is nonsense. ... I'm not talking about market size or market opportunity...; I'm talking about rates of innovation."

--

What's this called? What do economists call it?

Why isn't it obvious?

--

Attempt to restate problem:

Large investors prefer fewer, larger deals. Because of attention scarcity and transaction costs.

Today, we have excess idle capital under performing AND zillions of unfunded ideas, unending needful work not being done.

This applies to all investors. VCs, governments, megacorps, etc.

The genius of Y Combinator is reducing transaction costs, enabling more ideas to get funded efficiently.

How do we (society) do A LOT more of that? How do we make broad portfolios the norm?

--

Policy platform statement:

Lacking other ideas for how to connect capital with small to modest investments, I support wealth redistribution.

Radical repeated cashectomies and stifling regulations for the current 0.1%.

Radical laissez faire and near free capital (zero interest loans, grants, government largess) to seed small, young business development.

Ridiculous, audacious, ambitious moon shot programs. X-Prizes, stipulate that all funds must allocate some fraction to high risk high reward efforts, genius grants, a firehose of funding for academia, arts, culture, community building, whatever. Basically recreate the New Deal's CCC. Set some benchmark, like target funding of say 1% of GDP.

Naturally, I support UBI, universal health care, free childcare, jubilee style bankruptcy protections, and so forth. For the very pragmatic reason of unlocking human potential by reducing (removing) individual risk.
If we were just interested in bioprospecting for new antibiotics, sure, there's more phage genome out there than human. But there's a unique value in understanding how human antibiotic peptides work (or fail to work). Does expression of human antibiotic peptides decrease with age? Are they only expressed in certain tissues? There are important implications that we'll never uncover through non-human sequence mining. Additionally, human-derived peptides will probably have fewer side effects if used therapeutically, you never know what kind of immune response some random phage peptide will elicit.
Our culture likes to believe workers are free of state intervention, quotas like Soviet Russia.

But here we have yet another story of how the rich, protected by government, guide our agency.

America is a subtle con like that. The rich are protected by government, and then dictate economic agency and priority.

Effectively government has granted others the power to do what it cannot officially.

For a while there some folks (cant recall the name) had a IPv4 firewall system based on DOS, with a similar idea of being an "out of band" filter that was not part of the network being filtered.

Fact is, it's simple enough to do that with any OS and equally as hard to certify that the separations are actual and have no leaks.

Now they're writing whole server/response chains in eBPF and stuff same idea but inverted, perhaps.

What’s amazing to me is how this concept is either a “you get it or you don’t” thing.

Sure, it takes a little practice to learn how to turn feature requests into the underlying business problem, but, like, I work with so many people who still can’t even grasp this basic concept after many, many years.

I do minor history rewrites on my feature branches all the time.

1. Fix typo or other small nit.

2. `git add -p` to add only the small change.

3. `git commit -m fixer`

4. `git stash`

5. `git log --oneline main..` and copy the SHA of the commit I want to fix.

6. `git rebase -i SHA~`

7. In the text editor launched by `rebase`, move the "fixer" commit after the one I want to modify.

8. For the `fixer` commit, change "pick" to "fixup". Save and quit, allowing the rebase to complete.

9. `git stash pop`

This works most of the time, so long as the nit I want to fix isn't too far back in history. For those nits that aren't easy to fix with the workflow above, I just create an ordinary commit and leave it. It's annoying to have 5 "fixes lint error" commits in every feature branch, but it's fine to have them every once in a while.
more importantly, why does it take so long to load my email...
We (naivi.nl) indeed open-sourced NAP Framework about a year ago. Maybe it helps looking at it as a hybrid between a creative coding and game engine. But instead of making games you use it to interact the world around you, controlling many screens, lasers, speakers, servos etc. It is completely data-driven and ships with an editor, similar to a game-engine. But doesn't impose any sort of pipeline. It is not a creative-coding engine, we find that name to be limiting, as we use it for many other real-time, non-creative applications as well (medical for example):

I actually tried to explain that here:

Historically the thought "we have gotten the hang of this" has ended badly when dealing with spacecraft and rockets. The potential failure profile that we are in now is that there may be somethings that engineers accepted the risk that can lead to loss of mission, vehicle and life. See Apollo 1, Apollo 13, Challenger (after 25 shuttle missions) and Columbia (after a further 88).

Its great to see the "routine-ness" - but SpaceX needs to stay humble and stay focused. A accident now could cost everything they have done to this point.

-- edited to clarify potential failure mode.
I don't think it is for recruiting which is such a missed opportunity for them. I participated in two GSoC and interviewed with Google later. Somehow, they were the one which gave zero fuck to GSoC or anything else in the CV and just focused on their coding round for evaluation.

This is an obviously ridiculous take on a relatively clear idea: building complex systems using multiple development teams requires effective coordination, which implies not only development skill, but communication of technical plans.

If you're on the team assigned to develop the UI for the turbine monitoring of a hydroelectric power generating station, at some point you're going to need to be in a room with a bunch of other developers and engineers, and start working through some technical issues or begin planning how you're going to approach the problem. That will involve working through code while getting input, which will obviously involve speaking to the other humans in the room.

I know there's a tendency on HN to think that all developers are just like you, but a lot of developers aren't working on simple nonsense like the next to-do app or note-taking tool. Many developers are working on complex, real-time systems that require the coordination of dozens of teams of specialists over years. If you can't manage to communicate your approach to solving a particular problem to a room full of engineers and other developers, you're just not going to do well in that kind of environment.

I didn't say the relationship was temporary, or that is should be. I said any individual contract is temporary and extracting money is not the primary goal. The primary goal is advancing the overall mission.

If government would stop handing out contracts, SpaceX would try to go on as best they can anyway.

But of course as long as government is sharing in the goals SpaceX will use those.

I've recently shifted sharply toward the dash from the underscore. I find it more readable, and it doesn't require the shift key. However, I do find it useful to use underscores to create groups, e.g. test-001_2021-10-11.log. Including hours, minutes, seconds is still awkward.

Because people don't like getting nothing for something. If I'm at the point of asking for a raise, the value proposition I'm offering as an employee is that I can do the same work for more money - alternatively I can threaten to leave, if my demands are not met - in other words, extortion.

I managed to get a reasonable raise only once in my career, otherwise if you want a higher salary, you must change jobs unfortunately.

The mental framework managers suggest that employees should adapt - that if you create greater value for the company, you will receive greater pay - up to and behind the point other employers are willing to offer you - is just a negotiating tactic they use.

Ask HN: What do you think about the no-code movement?
Hi HN, maybe it's just the bubble I'm in but these days I see a lot of discussion around "no-code" and the "no-code" movement. There's also a bunch of new no-code apps being launched every day - https://www.producthunt.com/topics/no-code#order=trending.

Some seem to supplement developers (eg: retool) and some empower non-engineers to be able to build websites/apps/integrations without necessarily having a developer in the loop (eg: shopify/zapier/airtable).

What do you think about this movement? Clearly these apps/platforms enable non-developers to solve a bunch of problems which would otherwise need a software engineer. Is this a paradigm shift?

Some good points, but the focus seems to be on e-bikes vs. cars. I rarely see any opposition to e-bikes from drivers. The push-back mostly comes from regular cyclists and pedestrians, and those interactions are hardly addressed. Personally, I think putting e-bikes on paths already suffering from contention among cyclists and pedestrians is not something the stewards of those facilities should approve by default. If a particular path can support it, that's great. I wish more did. But I've also seen a bad situation become worse because of e-bikes on trails that were already at or over capacity. "Better than cars" isn't enough.
reminds me of my old roommate in college, we had to fit 5 guys in a two bedroom apartment. He found/stole/bought (not sure which) some old scaffolding. He painted it and then got some 2x6's and made two queen sized bunk bed frames. So we had two decent sized beds in each room. Then, the last guy was on the couch (he was only there for the summer then back to the dorm).

"you want to turn it into a file handle as soon as possible"

But no sooner.

For example, I've run into problems where I'm configuring program A server to talk to file location B... but I don't have access to file location B. But the client-side library for talking to the server tries to convert location B into a file handle and then freaks out because I can't access it. When I don't want to access it. I want that program to serve it.

If it was using simple "path" objects that didn't confirm that I have access to the path, everything would be hunky dory. But because it tried to convert it into a file handle unnecessarily, I get blocked.
