I think what we're seeing is what we've always seen. That is, we start at the lowest levels and continuously work towards a higher and higher level. Constantly making the development process more efficient. No-code solves a problem, but it's not a panacea.

The movement i'm most interested in as a backend developer is the no-software movement.

The idea that the entire process of developing and deploying services can take place in the browser. Why install an IDE when i can just code in a browser. Why install git when i can press a button in the browser and have it handled in the cloud. Why run the code locally when i can run it in the cloud and stream the output to the browser. Why install a bunch of software and configure everything to work on my machine, when it can all be handled in the cloud and interfaced via the browser.
Vaccinated kids spread the virus only if they are infected.

A vaccinated person is less likely to become infected at all, so even if vaccination did not reduce transmission in infected people, it would still reduce transmission in the whole population because fewer people were infected.
All storage is temporary. You just gotta wait long enough.
Google had to build an internal version control system as an alternative to git and perforce to support their monorepo.

Microsoft forked git and layered their own file system on top of it to support a centralized git workflow so that they could have a monorepo.
It's in their docs, but not on this page. If you're confused about what this is:

"Multipass is a mini-cloud on your workstation using native hypervisors of all the supported plaforms (Windows, macOS and Linux)"

(Which sounds a bit like docker desktop, just using VMs instead of containers)

Show HN: WaveTheVoice – immortalize your voice on the Solana blockchain
The first time I encountered something that called itself "no-code" was when the internet portal I worked for (Remember those?) decided to offer a "webpage builder" for its users. I didn't work on it, but just looking at the limited webpages you could build with it, how all of those were basically just our best practices, and how the amount of code needed to support the builder was just massive compared to the code it generated, it was pretty clear to me that my job security wasn't threatened.

Every single solution like this has an edge, a limitation, and when you reach that edge, the answer is always "well, you can edit the code directly if you know what you're doing..."

It's exactly as you say, every solution like this can do the already mapped parts of programming, but they are fundamentally incapable of being used for the unmapped parts, the woods, the edges, the limits.
I love stories like these. In college, I slept on a futon in a filthy studio apartment.

My desk was a piece of wood I put on the arms of a chair, while sitting on the edge of my futon.

It worked OK.

I don't lionize this state of being. My more comfortable peers had better grades and had more fun.
I live outside of Denver, and I find this concept to be extremely exciting at an architectural level.

That being said, it will be interesting to see how well the greenery in the "crack" will hold up to the extremely dry climate, as well as the extreme temperature swings in the area. I'm assuming they will use native species, which are amazingly hardy. Ponderosa pines and other tree species (Colorado Blue Spruce, etc) are known world-wide in the bonsai community for their extreme hardiness. I can drive 5 minutes west from my house and find excellent yamadori without walking more than 5 minutes from where I parked my car. Based on my experience with the extreme winds we get, especially on exposed, elevated building facades, I don't think anything other than native species will survive.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this, although it's not clear I'll be able to get into the building, lol.

Case-in-point, there are more than a few non-software engineering firms where the entire business is a series of mind-boggling amalgamations of Excel and VBA with a healthy dose of Matlab on the side. I'm talking full applications written in VBA with Excel as the interface. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same in non-quant finance.
How dictionaries work is this:

- words are created, or existing words bent, mainly by non-users of dictionaries.

- dictionaries cautiously track this process the benefit of dictionary users.
There's no scarcity for any NFTs because they are all trivially replicated. The only thing you ever have is entry on the blockchain that you own the NFT. That's as true for a NFT of a tweet or an NFT of a bored ape.
I agree this seems especially odd since Honda are Japanese and in Japan the driver sits on the right (as they do in the UK, Australia, NZ and some others). I doesn't make sense for them to skimp on driver-side protection in these markets.
Thanks. Although I do well in school, I've also never had any issues with self-directed learning and would probably prefer to go that route if possible. I suppose part of what I'm worried about is that I won't be able to see where the gaps are in my knowledge, and that I won't know when I've learned "enough" to realistically get employed.

For example, I know enough to create some solid Wordpress templates. I even created an online booking system for an RV rental company. But I suspect my rental system (no longer used) had some pretty big security holes, and I would often get lost if I had to modify code in existing plugins/templates made by others. So I'm sure I've got a fair bit to learn before I'd be able to contribute well in a team setting.

And of course I get worried that it will be difficult to demonstrate to a potential employer that I have the skills they want without a formal degree/certification. But I suppose that's where something like github profile is especially valuable?
Sometimes people say mean things to me. I guess the solution is to revoke everybody's ability to speak, because that could be used to hurt my feelings.

People keep complaining about harassment at work. I guess the solution is to revoke the ability to file complaints.

The results of elections will now be hidden, because knowing one person got more votes than another might hurt the losing party's feelings.
What do I think about no-code?

"Data" Driven Development (DDD), if you need a buzzword/acronym, is where I think about code and data in the same bucket (ie. Lisp). I can check a box to enabled something, type some text in a field to provide the i8n label and database field. Easy. Underneath somewhere, there's obviously still code, more complex code, to make all of this work.

Or, what do I think of the so-called "movement?"

As a single independent developer, I am in a bubble. I can't predict the future. I'd like to see powerful rapid development tools out there, but more and more I see a lot of locked up proprietary walled fortresses disguised as movements.
I think there's a reason this is such a recurrent theme that keeps coming up in different forms across the decades. Often people who are not developers have sensible ideas for apps/websites but do not have access to engineers who can implement them. This is especially true in enterprises.

For example the content team in a company like Doordash won't have access to engineers to help automate content creation.

But people in that team WILL have ideas around how they can automate their processes using a low-code/no-code tool.

Shameless plug - I am myself making one of these tools to help more folks DIY tools, flows & apps without making it themselves. We're here at https://getmason.io
$HOME/.local is the equivalent if /usr/local for per-user stuff.
I lilke the concept, but suspect it won't ever happen because the increased liability is too high.

If the self-driving tries, and it worsens the impact somehow, bigger lawsuit. If the self-driving fails to do so, bigger lawsuit.

And it might sound "insane" that a best attempt could result in worse liability than no attempt, but unfortunately there is a lot of legal precedent to back up the idea.

PS - Although legislation could make self-driving manufacturers immune from increased liability for these "best effort" systems.
Looks like it was addressed with different lengths being available, however looks like a proprietary connector.

Umm how?
You are assuming that the only black hat hackers are "trustworthy" Americans. There are a list of countries where selling on any of the collected data on the black market would either be condoned or actively pursued to maximise disruption. Would you be happy for a database of holidays to be sold to a crime ring to select their next best target for a burglary ?

Or more realistically, would you be happy for such state actors to identify PEPs (politically exposed person) who are potentially cheating on their partners and use this as leverage to drive through certain political decisions?

There is no such thing as a vulnerability that can only be abused by the good "guys"

Thanks for the reply! Certainly a step in the right direction but given the significance of the issue (and unknown response time from Intel) a warning should display whenever the vpro hardware is selected in the configurator. Because of this issue I have to carefully plan when to suspend my laptop -or- shut it down every time.

At this point I’d also be happy to buy a new non-vpro replacement from you but I don’t seem to be able to.

When is it appropriate to assume bad faith? I feel like just never assuming bad faith ever completely decouples people/organizations from the consequences of their actions.
Discovery Mode would be one of the killer apps of cloud gaming. Give a license to schools to allow students to stream any of the games on their cheap laptops. Yes, schools would still have to surmount the network load, or students couldn't stream from home, etc etc. Just imagine you're walking through a semi-historical 2020's America with anachronistic good internet.
I started out using $HOME/bin, but a fair amount of stuff assumes a /usr- or /usr/local-style folder structure when doing make install, so I've settled on using $HOME/usr/bin instead, so that programs can create $HOME/usr/include and $HOME/usr/share and whatever, without trampling on stuff in my home folder.

Can't remember the last time I had a problem arranging this. If using autotools, which covers 95+% of stuff, it's usually a question of something like "./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr".

(If I want to share stuff between users, /usr/local/ is of course a better place. macOS is a bit more restrictive, so I have a separate user for this, whose /usr folder is readable by everybody.)
This is kind of exactly my point in not owning the full stack with Serverless.

I'd be a bit nervous right now if I built my business / app on that.
You're right: funding is extremely founder-friendly right now.

From my perspective, though, the original article is talking about everyday engineers (the "technical team"). If you're an early, senior engineer at a startup, you might be offered 1% of the company. Over the early years of the company, you're often critical to the success and velocity of product development - usually just as critical as the technical cofounder. After four years, your company is acquired for $1B! Your 1% has been diluted to 0.75%, so you walk away with $7.5M. After long-term capital gains, you pocket a bit more than $6M. Objectively, you're now very wealthy - if you're still relatively young, this is enough money to buy a nice house, fund your retirement, and do some angel investing, even in the most expensive cities in the US.

Meanwhile, the technical cofounder walks away from the same story with $200M tax-free. That's dynastic wealth. Does the founder's additional year of work justify this difference? What about the partner from your primary VC, who's likely to personally take home tens of millions despite doing nothing more than investing other people's money and sitting in the occasional meeting?

This is the rosiest scenario - the engineer, founder, and VC all earn life-altering amounts of money. Things get much worse if you're a less senior engineer, you're hired after the first large round of funding, or (especially) the company's exit isn't as good. In all those situations, the founder and VC still get a life-altering windfall, while the senior engineer might barely get enough to retroactively bring their salary up to market rate.
There's plenty of different arguments that make different points to support the same conclusion.

Above, you compared "risk of death" to "risk of myocarditis" and noticed the latter is higher. But Dr. Fauci is comparing "risk of death and other non-fatal negative effects from covid" to "risk of myocarditis and other negative effects from vaccination", and that tips the scales the other way.
Not every site is the same. News sites in the US turn off their comments because it's too difficult to moderate in the current political environment.

Hacker News isn't a content site, but is mainly created for commenting. It is less political than the news sites which removed comments. It can also handle the moderation more easily than news sites partly because it has a very strong ugliness and usability filter.
I also enjoyed doing that, but had to make a DMG just for Steam because it straight-up refuses to run on a case sensitive FS (that's true on Windows, also, which I suspect is how we all got here). I think the most recent Steam versions either caught wind of my trickery or -- more likely -- run something from $HOME/Library/SomethingOrOther and thus the work-around it no longer works

When I got a new Mac, I just gave up and acquiesced to the case-retentive world :-(
Great question! We have a whole page about this here (https://hightouch.io/blog/hightouch-vs-census/).

But the TLDR is that Hightouch has more developer focused features (like a live debugger, alerting, version control with Git, and more here: https://hightouch.io/data-features/), a dedicated UI for business users to visually filter models (called Hightouch Audiences), more transparent pricing, as well as more integrations (70+) that are also deeper and customized for each tool.
Monorepo with microservices gives you the ability to scale and perform SRE-type maintenance at a granular level. Teams maintain responsibility for their service, but are more easily able to refactor, share code, pull dependencies like GraphQL schemas into the frontend, etc. across many services.
"Persistent Temp" should be /var/tmp. "Persistent Temp" is also an oxymoron.
> It seems to me that a lot of would-be conservative, career-driven tech workers are discovering that they can make more money flipping jpegs and meme coins than writing code for a big company.

To me it feels like selling snake oil. Things like NFTs do not seem to have any real value except to those who believe it has real value.

I do like your take on it that these engineers are exploring new outlets of engineering and that could have some positive externalities kind of like how car enthusiasts in the 50s' were able to build out incredible racing cars and racing series that improved engines quite dramatically

Gnuplot for graphs.

LaTeX PGF/TikZ for complicated diagrams.

Lines and boxes drawn with ASCII symbols (e.g., +, -, |, <, >, ^, v, /, \, ', `, etc.) using Emacs for very simple diagrams.

PGF/TikZ has considerable learning curve, so it may seem like a hassle in the initial days of learning to use it. But after mastering it once, one can unlock a lot of power and flexibility that comes with it. The PGF/TikZ manual at http://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base/doc/pgfmanual.pdf is really worth seeing. This manual, which is itself designed using PGF/TikZ, is a masterpiece!

“Genius” comes from genus meaning source/give birth/produce, a genius is a prolific source of original work. If you are only prolific, or only original, or neither, you may be a clever person or highly skilled, but a genius you are not.
Who do you think is setting up these neighbourhoods? A lot of times it's the industrial companies as well looking to diversify their investments.

But not always, let's not paint them with the same brush. Zoom out on the problem broader.

Why are industrial companies polluting land that they don't own? Well, because this was all established in an age when we considered pollution out of sight and out of mind. If it's not an oil barrel lying in a ditch, but some happy vapor going out into the atmosphere, who cares?

So the lack of government regulation of pollution on land not owned by the companies is the problem.

In 21st century sensibilities about externalities, an industrial plant should not be able to pollute land it doesn't own. And if there is no way to avoid that, the government should set it up as an isolation zone not zoned for residential, and force the company to price that into their economics.

By the way this is what the rest of the developed world does. The US, with it's obsession with profits, and deregulation, and "letting the free market" decide doesn't, and now has the worst correlation between health outcomes and socioeconomic class of any developed country.
Note that the spec is stricter for field-name than for field-value. Field names are ASCII, while field values are latin1 (or mime encoded but no one cares about mime encoding).

And yes I have seen bytes in both names and values in the wild (where bytes in names are invalid but need to be handled gracefully, while bytes in values are effectively valid latin1 if only for legacy reasons)

Looking at the bug you linked to, looks like this almost bit them too. Here's the final field-value behavior they landed on: https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/18375/

Yes, I used snap on server, I think the package was pdftk , worked great the only issue it might be is that is configured to only have access to the home folder.

Snap is a good solution if there is no alternative in the repositories or the one there is too old.
>Another issue is crash test dummy overfitting. For a long time, adult NHSTA and IIHS tests used a 1970s 50%-ile male dummy, which is 5'9" and 171lbs. Regulators called for a female dummy in 1980 but due to budget cutbacks during the Reagan era, initial plans were shelved and the NHSTA didn't put one in a car until 2003. The female dummy is a scaled down version of the male dummy, scaled down to 5%-ile 1970s height and weight (4'11", 108lbs; another model is 4'11", 97lbs). In frontal crash tests, when a female dummy is used, it's always a passenger (a 5%-ile woman is in the driver's seat in one NHSTA side crash test and the IIHS side crash test). For reference, in 2019, the average weight of a U.S. adult male was 198 lbs and the average weight of a U.S. adult female was 171 lbs.

Women are neglected in testing of every standard. Essentially they’re benchmarks of computer performance in human form, with the most hopeful data being used.

It’s much harder to account for women who have more variation such as hips, breasts, pregnancy status, corporate would rather rather tell you the best results with the cheapest and the best case results. The weight of the dummies, the height, and the lack of variation is both cost cutting, testing the most healthy models, and way to bypass the regulations with clever tricks that most people trust because there aren’t more data sources and it’s a lot of effort to learn more.

Most things that are tested are, especially pharmaceutical drugs. They use men’s dosages and at most change bu weight but ignore important factors that are women’s issues since it’s easier to neglect it lazily, then blame the patient’s biology rather than the doctor’s incompetence and lack of research, but the lack of information that drug companies give.

Paid drug trials are often signed up for by more risk taking males, and hormone cycles of women make drugs have more variation they’d rather sweep under the rug, you also see the difference in showdogs winners where a female dog’s hormone cycle like her period can destroy performance.

Another cost cutting example is the lack of long term effects, they use mice models rather than dogs because it’s cheaper and shows less long term effects, win/win for hiding these results until it’s discovered by real world usage.

Something encouraging though are computer physics simulations. Volvo has been at the forefront of safety, they’re the top rated, tested on women before regulations forced others to, making the safety belt and not patenting it, encouraging its usage due to their focus and morality. The results don’t surprise me.
This is absolutely fantastic news!

I love Svelte, and have been using it for a year or so now, but lack of community mindshare means that I've had to roll a lot of my own components.

That said, I think Netlify missed the boat on this one - happily using Netlify with Sveltekit, and it would have been great to have the competition in the PaaS space.
