It is also good to remember that different programming languages have different features for enums. e.g. in some languages you cannot print the enum as string, and in some languages you cannot choose the underlying type of the enum.

Using an older Nixpkgs checkout might have a higher rate of success but if Nixpkgs never included the version you need in the first place that also doesn't work.

Yeah, but also keep in mind that uses the older version, plus older versions of all its transitive dependencies (from the same nixpkgs checkout). So, you could end up with multiple versions of glibc and other commonly-used libraries, but worse -- many known security vulnerabilities as well.

Another practical annoyance is that overriding attributes often does not work across a derivation. E.g. overriding the version attribute does not override the same version in the src attribute (which is used to download the sources) [1]. So, you may have to override the attribute in several places.

[1] Unless the derivation is defined in a non-canonical way: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/avoid-rec-expresions-in-nixpkg...

Template engines are already configurable and pluggable for quite a while.

The "problem" is that most of the third-party apps that want to provide templates end up using the default, so either you have to reimplement those or stick with the default engine.
When there were no 'real' (it was either affiliate spam with fake female members or just raunchy forums) free dating sites around in my country. A lot of people who could not afford the legit paid ones (they were pretty expensive) were also the people who were the most likely to stay alone; divorced, older, poor and without jobs. So I wrote a dating site from scratch (no 'scripts' for sale or open source at that time either) and ran it with my wife: 100% free while we moderated it to have 0 spammers, prostitutes, etc. Somehow it grew and somehow we manage to keep the ratio male/female close to 50/50. We ran it for 5 years basically full-time before handing it over to a relationship council agency who swore to keep it free. They did so far (well over 10 years).

This was meaningful because we managed to bring together 1000s and 1000s of people, we still get emails or hear via-via from people who met via the site, made a family, got children etc. We used to get wedding invitations, 100s of postcards and invites to see babies. It was a good feeling; even though it was very heavy work (24/7 basically and we couldn't afford to hire anyone), I would love to do something like this again, just cannot think what it would be.

America is _very_ big. Bigger than Europe even. That means that there are lots of different development patterns all across the country. While it is true that most places are car dependent, there are also cities where the majority of people who live there don't even own a car. I lived in Boston/Cambridge Massachusetts for 10 years and New York for 8, and I have never owned a car (or bike). Walking and taking the subway/metro are the most convenient modes of travel in those cities, and you get all the benefits of vibrance that comes with that. For the past 18 years, I've had about 2-3 big grocery stores and too many smaller shops and fruit stands to count within a 10 minute walking radius. The same goes for bars, restaurants, book stores, coffee shops, music/dancing venues, etc. All without even needing to get on the subway.
I'd also add for society it's a cost-benefit analysis. New houses require the usage of resources, they require workers to build the house, etc.

Idk if 50 years is long enough, 1,000 years is probably too long, but it's definitely something worth further investigation. It also depends on the climate and potential for disaster. 1,000 year homes in Florida with hurricanes? Probably not. Ohio? Yea that might make sense.

-edit-

To add I also enjoy and wish we took more advantages of past techniques to build homes in harmony with the environment. Easier to think of examples are things like painting a home white in the Mediterranean, or a-frame homes for snow to slide off, etc. versus how we just copy/paste generica American suburban homes that rely on materials moreso than smart design. It's like cities and towns. We already figured out how to do this in the best way hundreds of years ago (small towns in Europe) but we just keep not doing it in favor of bad design.

OpenJDK has the same goddamn license as the linux kernel. It is (yes, the open source codebase) developed by Oracle 98+% alone, and other vendors are just forks of this code base (including oracle jdk, which contains only trivial changes AND a paid support option, for those that need it)

You can hate Oracle as much as you want but their Java division is a surprisingly adapt and capable team, doing very great job at stewarding the language.
Oooo one I can answer!

I moved from Seattle -> Hong Kong, circa 2012, with a contracting job to an old team in Seattle. About 6-7 months in HK, the team said no more contractors or remote members, and I was effectively out of a job.

The original goal of moving to HK was to learn Cantonese (mother tongue) so I said maybe I should actually do my goal and started taking classes. That didn't work out so well. While I learned Cantonese, it's not at any useful left (can't even speak to 5 year olds for any meaningful length). I did get married instead! So it worked out.

If you're young with little responsibilities, I say do it.

"They" always say it's harder to do it while you're older. For me and everyone I know, this is 100% true. While always possible, a lot more care and planning needs to happen even with a significant other.

I get the impression that’s more of a lack of awareness of the higher-order consequences than direct value judgements.

I see that in a lot of other cases.
A great job many people overlook is corrections. Corrections facilities are like small towns and have a wide range of services and functions in the building.

They take anyone with a clear criminal history. Then you might work similar long hours for one or two years before being able to apply for a desk spot and you would have access to various training, step raises, and more.

I started working in corrections a few years ago and had to work 12-16 hours almost everyday for two years. Then I got a better position, then a year later an even better position, and now I just sit at a desk 8 hours or less and don't even feel like I have a job any more.

Sometimes this complexity can lead to nice loopholes. Some time ago I wrote a comment [0] which explained how we once tricked ourselves into a 1,500 km, 7 day train trip for 39 EUR:

> Deutsche Bahn had (and still has I think) a "Europe Special" where you could buy a ticket from any town in Germany to any town in Europe for 39 EUR flat. Our idea was to travel through Croatia for a few weeks, starting from Zagreb. Sure enough, bahn.de (the journey planer of Deutsche Bahn) offered us a ticket for a train ride of around 16 hours from our home town to Zagreb, through Austria and Slovenia. We would have had to change trains 2 times.

> Then things escalated.

> We discovered that we could book the same trip, for the same price, but with a different route, making a 500 km detour inside Germany over my parent's town. Then we discovered that bahn.de allowed us to specify a minimum time to change trains. We set it to 24 hours at my parent's town, letting us stay at my parents for a night. Then we found out that we could set an additional via option in such a way that we had to change trains in Ljubljana. We set the minimum time to change trains there to 24 hours. Then we found out that the ticket price was the same if we travelled not only to Zagreb, but to Split (at the coast), which required a change of trains in Zagreb. But we wanted to stay a few days in Zagreb, and the maximum minimum time to change trains on bahn.de was 24 hours. But thenw e discovered that (at least 5 years ago) all foreign tickets were valid for 30 days in Croatia. Effectively, this meant that we could stay in Zagreb for 30 days, and our ticket to Split was still valid.

> We got the ticket. After a week of visiting my parents (1 night stay), Ljubljana (1 night stay), and Zagreb (5 nights stay), we arrived in Split without problems. It was a 1,500 km, 7 day train trip for 39 EUR.

> The only minor problem we had was the German conductor in the first train after we visited my parents. He just stared at the monstrous ticket in disbelief and had to finally conclude that it was valid.

It seems unfortunate now, but I'd argue it was pretty reasonable at the time.

Unicode is the best attempt I know of to actually account for all of the various types of weirdness in every language on Earth. It's a huge and complex project, requiring a ton of resources at all levels, and generates a ton of confusion and edge cases, as we can see by various discussions in this whole comments section. Meanwhile, when all of the tech world was being built, computers were so slow and memory-constrained that it was considered quite reasonable to do things like represent years as 2 chars to save a little space. In a world like that, it seems like a bit much to ask anyone to spin up a project to properly account for every language in the world and figure out how to represent them and get the computers of the time to actually do it reasonably fast.

ASCII is a pretty ugly hack by any measure, but who could have made something actually better at the time? Not many individual projects could reasonably to more than try to tack on one or two other languages with more ugly hackery. Probably best to go with the English-only hack and kick the can down the road for a real solution.

I don't think anyone could have pulled together the resources to build Unicode until computers were effective and ubiquitous enough that people in all nations and cultures were clamoring to use them in their native languages, and computers would have to be fast and powerful enough to actually handle all the data and edge cases as well.
The pure marginal cost of fabrication of a modern chips is not that cheap when seen in the context of production capacity (and with high demand you tend to concentrate on high-end anyway), and certainly not cheap compared to software, otherwise you would have even less kind of dies than you have today for the various SKUs, and less recovery strategies for various fabrication defects, plus Intel wants to fab for others, and they do not lead the process anymore. Also if you look at their current list of SKUs, that's already completely insane. Do they really need further discrimination on top of that and will they be able to extract tons of value? I'm not so sure.

Thinking more about it maybe they simply want to keep roughly the same amount while doing less masks than usual because masks became crazy expensive. Would be interesting to look at some figures.
Boys love for cars begins at 2 and never ends.

EVs became a meme for revolutionizing the car industry in a way people perceive will be as profound as Karl Benz first car or Ford Model T.

So naturally boys of every age want to be part of this movement and pump their savings (as well as their clients savings) into EV companies, even though manufacturing is a terrible business.

Everything market related it's about meme power of the story and meme power of the product, perception is very much reality. As I said boys love for cars starts at 2 and never ends, unfortunately very few dream about building an artificial heart or defeating parkinson or alzheimers, curating diabetes, solving cancer etc.

It's not just regular people actually. Boys love for toys trascends IQ, Feynman and Von Neumann loved the process of building the most deadly toy know to mankind (nuclear weapons) , but they both died fairly early due to cancer, and they both knew that cancer or cardiovascular disease would have been the thing which would have gotten them (much like any other human), but still they didn't feel compelled to do something about it, they decided to employ their time building toys instead.

Cars, rockets, missiles, planes, bombs , they all fall under the same umbrella of toys.

with cars being #1

Eating farm animals requires you to grow 9 times as many crops to feed them as if you had just eaten the crops directly, since only about 9% of the food they eat is converted into edible flesh.

So even if you take this argument seriously, the insects and field animals are better off if you grow fewer crops, which you accomplish by directly eating the crops you grow, not feeding them to livestock.
Did you understood this expression? - "Even trees can only grow where the gardener lets them."

Trades have a huge barrier to entry too. You either go pay tens of thousands of dollars to the degree-mill equivalent of a trade school, or you hope exactly no one is trying to join a trade in your area and get lucky and get an apprenticeship.

Hello dear HN crowd,

I love when I stumble upon a developer war story in a random comment here on HN. I love it so much that I also wanted to share some of the stories I've collected over the years working in IT.

I came up with the idea to present the stories in a somewhat unusual way, in the style of the malicious self-help book. The book gives you advice on how to succeed in IT, from the interview phase to the management, by acting like an immoral, unscrupulous person.

The advice is based on experiences with some shady, weird people I met throughout my career. After every chapter, there's a short story about the person who was the chapter's inspiration. I've worked with those people, so everything is a first-hand experience!

This was my first attempt at doing something like this, so go easy on me! :)

One cool fact! I used entirely free and open-source software for the creation of this title. That's why I'll donate 10% of all the proceeds to my favorite free software projects!
I tried searching for meaning in Software projects I do at $job only to come to a realisation that I am essentially working to translate someone else's business need to a solution that makes them money and I get a part of it as salary. I don't think I will find the satisfaction I am looking for in that environment, and that is okay. Now, I treat the job as a job and strictly not work outside my "leased out time". I spend time at the wood shop making things that makes me happy and feel like the curious kid. There is something magical about putting in hours at making something and then feeling the tangible result with your hands. Perhaps something primate that gets triggered in my mind.

In short, the most meaningful work I ever did in my life so far was building the cradle and crib that my son sleeps in.
