"You want loyalty? Get a dog."

Seriously, employers who start with that "loyalty" thing... eeeuwhh... just run. Away. It's a business relationship, not family nor friends. The loyalty you'll get from an employer... doesn't exist. Why should they anticipate any from us?

BTW, that opening line above... I once quoted it directly to my manager during the 6-month assessment interview. Need I mention that my increase/bonus was a little lean that year. :O

I would be happy with a brief persistence of street names at a larger scale
when zooming in. IOW, when zooming, street names to persist at the larger,
zoomed in size for 400..800 ms or so, then shrinking to the typical size.
Don’t know if that is possible with whatever map layers are now in use.
Or a role model that can assure you that it's ok to say yes, and the truth that everyone fakes it until they make it.
Maybe that says something about JIRA?
Yes. People make themselves angry, people choose to take offense. The reasonable thing to do is not allow yourself to be provoked to upset or anger by someone else's communication. People you disagree with are easy to ignore, even if you find their opinions loathsome.
It's nothing to do with locked bootloaders or root access, the determining factor is simply whether you can run arbitrary code or not (like you can on Android for example). Bootloader locking and root user permissions are arbitrary system level concepts which are not relevant to that distinction.
There has never been a time, except for short periods, where the ruling class has had full access to what everyone has been saying or thinking. There has always been constraints on how much they can know about the populace. Distance, cost, manpower have all been age old constraints. A new technology usually makes it easy to monitor but then something else comes in the way to block it. I think Stasi are probably the only real-successful blanket monitoring.
Ben's videos are some of the most interesting content on Youtube. The build an 8-bit computer from scratch tutorial has been around this site a few times, as has the 6502 series. But what really gets interesting are these peripheral videos where he digs into a specific system or concept. His videos about how error correction works were a real eye-opener for me. It's the right level of zoomed in.

A little cringe... as someone who listens to geology podcasts, the idea of "hot spots" apparently doesn't hold much scientific scrutiny any more. This will probably take another decade to be phased out since everyone is taught in school Hawaii etc. are created by hot spots/mantle plumes.

The newer explanation is actually simpler and explained by plate tectonics... deep extensional faults in the middle of plates (generally at stress change boundaries, since the plates are stressed differently at opposite margins) is sufficient to get these island-forming magma extrusions.

EDIT - by request, my favorite geo podcast is Oliver Strimpel's Geology Bites.
Right, and Ruby has had Matz, Python had Guido and to a certain degree PHP had Rasmus. As soon as you have more than one captain in the ship, politics and drama seems unavoidable.
Also, better food

Also, easier to coordinate home and personal projects and matters incl healthcare.

But, no kids/etc vying for your attention

But, more reliable internet

But, easier work-life separation (for some people+companies)
> That would require there is a backlog of payloads which are just waiting for the price to be low enough.

Not only that, but they'd need to integrate with Starship and, right now, we aren't even sure which way the payload needs to go once the target orbit is achieved (it looks like it's sideways, while every other launcher releases the payload forward).
In my 23 year career, I’ve gone from having my own office room, to office room with a nice view, to shared with 1 other person, to a cubicle, then a bullpen.

We’re not going in the right direction.

If I wasn’t working remote, I’d have a worse office environment than when I was a 16-year-old kid doing IT for a mom-and-pop.
There’s an SNL skit here.
Kotlin's a solid enough choice. Jetbrains do have some quality issues with respect to the IDE plugin (which is being merged into the IDE) but hopefully they'll get there.
Ask HN: Are there any software or tech “monasteries”?

Yes and those executives (the European Commission) we don't actually vote for. And those are the ones with the most power.

I've always thought that was weird. I'd want to vote for them directly.

I don't mind the power transfer per se. Within Europe a lot of things make sense to do Europe-wide. In fact a lot of things are not done Europe-wide which I think would make a lot of sense to do so. Like transportation: A lot of countries have extra taxes like 'vignettes' for foreigners while others haven't. So if I go there I have to pay but they don't pay when they come to my country. Of course countries that see a lot of transit traffic should be paid but this should just be paid straight from the EU IMO. It's creating unnecessary barriers. There should also be an EU driving license instead of having to get it locally where you live at the time and losing categories which don't exist there. And why do we still have separate train systems and road rules? Mutualising traffic signs to minimise mistakes is something that could really save lives.

And social welfare, right now it's a total pain if you have worked in several EU countries. Pensions etc are fragmented like crazy and there's a lot of paperwork.

But instead they focus too much on merging the national markets to appease big business IMO. Instead of tackling the real issues for citizens.
https://archive.fo/f10KK There's some quotes.
I wouldn't say that's an issue, that's how programming is done in such systems. It's like noting that maintaining and managing state is an issue for imperative languages, and you wouldn't want to debug a program that's full of state changes and side effectful functions. Yes, it can be messy, but that doesn't preclude language constructs, compiler support, and best practices to help you write correct programs. Today's newest imperative programming languages try to smooth out the rough edges of old languages in this way.

The issue with reactive, declarative languages is they have not been given the same opportunity to optimize. We've devoted a lot of resources to making imperative programming more accommodating despite all of its warts, but with declarative programming so far we have decline to go through the same process.

Declarative reactive programming has proven to have a lot of potential. After all, if we call Excel a programming language (which it is), then reactive programmers far outnumber those of any other style. We should take that direction as far as it can go. Mine it for every good idea the same way imperative programming has been mined. Sure maybe JavaFX was a total disaster. But why can't its successor be better? Why exactly was it a disaster? What could potentially be done to improve that?
Ok but then where is the large-scale movement against auto updates? Stealing an update key would grant an attacker strictly more capabilities than stealing a chat backdoor key: They could still eavesdrop on all chats by patching the apps on-device, but they could also do anything else the device's OS allows them to. Nevertheless I have never read anything about the imminent risk of update compromise.
Stackoverflow makes me think I know C++.
As I understand it, hijacking the update backdoor already occurred with the solar winds hack.
Because they need demand to pay for the launches.
And this site’s audience doesn't even like talking about how hacks are performed, where caches are found, or even the marketplaces!
I'm in a job like that now. I'm not solving interesting problems, mostly just doing REST junk. And I end up waiting for code reviews[0] which occur long after I've completed my code.

I don't have a solution other than switching jobs. There are plenty out there, I know we're constantly interviewing[1].

0: I move on to other tasks, but that incomplete task lingers and takes up brain. That exacerbated the boredom.

1: Won't share a link, for obvious reasons.
I described your comment, not you. If you take it as a comment on your character, you might ask yourself why.

> What exactly did I say?

You said:

> Climate change is just a political tool to push an agenda which is not popular on its own.

> They dont want nuclear or solar panels on every house

> AOC has said we have about 10 years until humanity is extinct.

Where are the sources for those? Are they facts? Or do they read like propagandist misinformation?

You also edited your comment to take out the "marxist" jibe - why?
I suspect that doing it this way puts pressure on the core team members who don't subscribe to the behaviors moderate the people on the core team who are problems. But one can never know.
Here’s something I don’t understand:

Companies across the board the board seem to think they have every right to decide how to structure their employees lives. And almost universally they make a big show about listening to their employees and then afterwards show they don’t care one whit by demonstrating through their actions they either didn’t listen or don’t care. Then they rub salt in the wound with their carefully crafted corporate-speak press releases.

For any industry based on knowledge work, this behavior is just about as unprofessional as one can be; it’s insulting to their workforce and breeds malcontent.

On the other hand you have workplaces where honesty is both valued and respected on each side of the employer/employee divide. I suspect we hear little about such companies, and they keep on running.

When might the big dishonest companies realize the dishonesty is at the core of not just the WFH problem, but nearly all of the problems they face? Is it even possible?
Exact opposite in my circles, possibly because we inhabit different demographics.

Mine: parents with kids. Not one wants to return to wasting hours on commute, which is particularly egregious at Apple because many are not allowed to work on the bus because of the culture of paranoia and disclosure.
I don't see an issue with 1080 on 14", but having double pixel density (like retina) really makes using it a much better experience.
> Not only is this seen as perfectly fine, it's widely regarded as a security best practice.

It's not "perfectly fine"; but the alternative is millions of computers with known security vulnerabilities exploitable by anyone, which is far far worse than a potential backdoor used by large companies or governments.
Heat should help add atmosphere to some degree. Solid co2 could gasify and some frozen water could enter the atmosphere.

The question is rather what one needs to know, to be a good software engineer?

Formally, I guess if you learn Logic in your philosophy courses you know everything you need to do programming. Moreover if you know about Plato's Forms you basically know the basics about object oriented programming...

Software design on the other hand is something you can only learn by experience anyway... I had an software architecture course at university, which made only sense to me a couple of years later...
Oh yes, those anonymous-but-not processes are a killer. I recently dealt with that. If I didn't have equity I'd be goooone.
> Do they think updates from other companies make their phones self destruct?

Actually, it's the lack of updates from other companies making their phones self-destruct, as in they become unusable bricks. If the software is proprietary, you have no way of updating it yourself.

> Also comes across as really evasive to not say how many years of updates they guarantee.

It's "forever". The devices run FLOSS, which means that even if Purism disappears, they will still get updates from the Linux community. My 12+-year-old laptop runs latest Debian.

> Surely they could have started with an actual definition of what convergence means.

Sure, 'bring me some potatoes tomorrow'.

What will happen tomorrow?

But terrorist suspect 'A' communicating with arms supplier 'B' is far more significant than terrorist suspect 'A' communicating with arms supplier 'B' asking 'B' to bring some potatoes tomorrow.

The value can definitely be in the payload, when both parties believe they are using a secure channel, see 'Encrochat' and a couple of others like it. But most of the time the things you should really worry about are going to look like 'bring me some potatoes'.

Boots on the ground, enough people to follow up on the leads available today would help a lot, and a budget to go with it to make that sustainable. Not more tech toys.

Anyway, I've written enough about this subject by now.
You would probably be a shoo-in for a QA job.

Here is a page you would want to dig into as a start: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_testing

Please reach out to me if you're interested in learning more. I've had a lot of good results in this field, and have also helped/mentored several other people to break into the field.
I work for a tech company in the midwest with about 5000 employees at the particular office I am at and we are currently in a state where you can either work from home or go to the office. I'd wager about ~10% of people go to the office and that includes people that have jobs that absolutely require the tools or equipment at the office.

I should mention that the original plan was also this 2-3 days a week at the office, but has been put on hold indefinitely until something changes.
If I’m understanding correctly, languages like rust avoid that problem by throwing a compile error when a match statement doesn’t cover all possible cases.

Of course, a catch-all would then somewhat reintroduce the problem.
My house is vastly nicer than any workplace I've ever visited. Admittedly I was never a servant at a castle or museum or something cool like that.

There is some confusion between covid lockdown vs WFH. I live in a recreational state with great phone coverage and wifi everywhere, I must spend at least half my time at some comfy park or a table outdoors at a coffee shop or something similar. Certainly I spend a lot of working hours in my nice back yard.

The impression I've gotten is people are not getting locked down and chained to a desk for WFH, just get the work done, doesn't matter if I'm reading engineering datasheets at the local bar (before drinking...) or the tables at the local park, etc.

Slightly off-topic, but I’m curious if anyone’s had use for/good luck with deploying a large number of Pis and having them all network boot off the same image? I’ve looked into using this method for controlling projectors for theater shows, but it could also be a neat way to handle a cluster while you’re developing and testing a new image.
I think that's an uncharitable interpretation. If your remit is to deal with issues like this, but you find the structure is broken enough that you can't do what you see as your job, what do you do?

Going public may be against the point of the group, but it might also be the only way seen to fix the problem and address the problems that prevent your group from doing its job.

So you're left with the unenviable option of explicitly doing what your team is not supposed to do in order to try to fix the team so it can function in the future. The responsible thing to do at that point would be to resign, so someone else can come in and gain the benefits you fought for, and your prior breaking of the rules does not taint the team.

I think that's the charitable view. I don't know if it's correct, but I do think it's worth considering.
I wish more devices simply used RxTx (or COM/RS-232) so that the protocol was defined inside the character payload instead. Simplicity is worth sacrificing bandwidth for.

> We all know speed limit laws are less about public safety, and more about generating revenue for the state, at least in the US anyway.

That's absolutely not true. Sure, some stretches are just to generate revenue, but that you're not allowed to go 200km/h through a city is not for revenue generation. It's also not given by common sense - the fact that you need to set the limit 20 lower than what's save should be plenty of evidence.
If I ever have to solve something especially weird and use a stackoverflow result, I leave a comment above the weird code linking directly to the stackoverflow answer. And usually some extra context if the stackoverflow question isn't a perfect replica of our situation.
You could probably say that about most government programs though.

Hey! Are you aware of any non-ntfs filesystems that also maintain a USN style journal? upon which tools like Everything could be created?

I wonder why common linux filesystems like ext2/ext4 don't support this. After having used locate and all its friends (rlocate, plocate, lolcate-rs) - tools like Everything & WizTree on Windows feel like a breath of fresh air!
Absolutely. I'm going to have to confess to having a fetish for white noise, I have many 100's of terabytes of it, can't get enough of the stuff.

That is just sad. I wonder how many times each one of those 18M comments was viewed on average.
Always have to second guess what I say when asked what I like reading by other nontechnical people. It's fun, but awkward.
> Launch capacity as a whole was never really a big bottleneck and is also driven by demand and supply. But even cutting down cost didn’t really meaningfully increase demand, as Falcon showed.

I disagree. The excess payload and cheapness of Falcon 9 created a huge market for smallsats and microsats as secondary payloads. If you look at the _number_ (not mass) of operational payloads since Falcon 9 has come online, the numbers have been shooting up dramatically (and that is excluding Starlink). There's been a 5-fold increase in the number of smaller satellites being launched (excluding Starlink) since the last decade.

They still offer stuff like this in the mainframe machines, right? I recall that their z machines have full duplicate processor drawers idle and locked out so that if one dies, IBM can remotely activate the idle one to maintain service?

How is "what employees want" not relevant?

"What employees want" directly influences employee retention and hiring. In a hypothetical scenario, if an employee wants full remote work but Apple is not offering it but Google is then that then employee is going to go to Google to the detriment of Apple.
Okay. But https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/ has been around for years and gets its data directly from the firefighting teams working the fires.

Nassim Taleb has argued the same. Smaller organizations are more resilient and stronger, and bigger ones are more fragile. The idea of continental integration is a very dangerous one. One day, when we have a one world government, where will refugees flee to? Mars?

The EU's democratic deficit, and the fact that these regulations can be rolled out to most of the world's major economies without any proper debate or (likely) checks and balances, proves the dangers of political organizations that are bigger than "human sized". How do you even protest this? Any country is forced to listen to mass protests, but there's no such thing for the EU.
Alternative: They step down without an announcement, get replaced, somebody pieces it together and posts it on HN or reddit or something, and now you have all the same drama from announcing it publicly, plus all the added drama from the "secret step down".
> Just having the option of a change of scenery, even if one doesn’t make use of it every day or even once in a given week, makes a huge difference.

This, to me, is the crux of the matter. I can accept that there are days when I'm needed in the office, but for the vast majority of days when I'm not, having the ability to decide has incredible benefits for me, and the company doesn't miss out on anything.
As someone who uses the serverless framework to abstract this can anyone tell me why they don't like the API Gateway? I'm sure there are valid reasons, I've just not run into any issues wiring up my lambdas with the API Gateway (using serverless, I've never done it manually).
it makes sense when Eurocrats tell their citizens that this is imperative for containing "Trumpism" and they all slobber in agreement
I'd be fine with such policy. I don't want to ever work remote again. I used to think working from home would be more productive, but found it to be the exact opposite, between an endless supply of distractions, lack of face-to-face communication, overall drudgery of being stuck in your home all day, and having to think about meals (which is a surprisingly annoying change if you're used to just getting whatever's in the nearest cafeteria).
What did you when you got stuck on some small thing that wasn't obvious from the docs? Say some interaction between two concepts?

Nowadays I've always discovered that I'm not the first person to ask.
But who'll be paying for that trip? Does NASA have enough astronauts to crew a Mars base in addition to a Moon base? What private companies would want to do with Mars that can't be done on Earth? I'm all in for astronaut selection to be less rigorous (since I wasn't flying supersonic jets and earning a PhD when I was 18 - seriously, the bar is waaaaay too high) and would be delighted to be able to work that remotely, but I'd expect to be paid to go and have a return ticket already paid for.
