44 here. I have actively started avoiding architect/product owner roles . Instead I'm consentrated on knowing the product (how it's used by the customers and admins), the tech stack, the code base and the devops pipeline as good as I can by doing a whole lot of feature building and bugfixing. Result is that the work is more rewarding than ever. Architect and PO come to me to discuss features. Admins come to me with weird bugs. I get to code a lot and think a lot. I hope I get to do this til I retire.
I love all the to-the-point "why?" questions. There are many other problems (like no actual product) with this repo, but hammering out all the tough answers upfront is a breath of fresh air.

I've visited over 4,000 github projects and my first question "what? why?" is often harder than it should be to answer from the readme and source.
"To anywhere" is a pretty broad claim, and no indication what that might entail. How does one save clippings to, say, Evernote?

What is the significance of the links under "Support Site"? Some of those might be considered programs you can integrate with (like OneNote)? If that's the case then I guess Evernote isn't supported?
They = energy producers and sellers.

They are surely under some control of Swedish government. Energy sector is largely regulated everywhere.
Credit cards are widespread (esp in places that bother with covid passes) and where I live something like 90% of payments are contactless. Takes about 5 seconds.

Cynic in me says - just disable cards for the unvacced at specific venues…
This is a trick. They will say it is mild and then suddenly they will try to spin everything into extreme fear ... and oppression.

Well known recipe.
Yes, and even if something is super annoying, it might be legal. For example they listened to music until 2-3 in the morning a lot of cases. Thumping reggaeton. And while it for sure wasn't over legal limit by decibel, the bass made my bed shake.
How does this even get published let alone at WSJ. It’s that cliched person in the office who is clueless of what IT does.
Flexible SSL is basically equivalent to visiting a totally insecure site over a VPN instead of directly. There's a few advantages to it. Off the top of my head:

1. It protects the privacy of the client still. Nobody can tell which page a given IP address is looking at on a site, since once the traffic is decrypted, it's no longer associated with the originator.

2. Most snooping and MITM attacks happen towards the client end of the connection, which this would protect from.

It's definitely not appropriate for sending sensitive data like credit card numbers, though.
From the Indian government’s point of view, taking preorders might be seen as kind of a snub, like, “Your approval is just a rubber stamp we will get eventually.”

The Best Way Not to Get Tenure (2016)
If anyone is interested in a visual walk-through of Polis' emergent dynamics, using a live example discussion from the UK, a few of us fans of the tool created a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVJE6GXqzsw&list=PLSL_F7Lwul...

(we'd intended to make more, but life got busy)

EDIT: There's an unofficial Polis User Group in a Discord channel. We used to run weekly open calls to help people learn, but for now we just have the Discord. Details: https://link.g0v.network/pug
WTF?! More than $1400 for a unknown brand keyboard made of plastic?
I feel like as a software engineer, in most of the western world, if you actually save money (and invest!), and don't make stupid financial decisions, you can probably retire by 50.
Last I heard they were still considered safe to use, if environmentally damaging, by scientific sources. Could you provide citations, so I might update my knowlege?

Similarly, my understanding was that soil depletion (caused by farming methods) and crops optimized purely for high yield (via breeding or otherwise) are problems causing nutrition drop in foods. And that neither are problems solved simply by going organic or GMO free.
In my experience Mg helps me relax and sleep better and Ca relieves the pain. I feel 10 years younger.
When you say "you can't", I assume you mean retire officially? I imagine that having a few million euros in the bank (or in different assets) would mean that work is optional.
I know it's a little off topic but why is this? Do you mean this is the case due to salaries or is there some other reason?
When you do inventory, check for everything that has an expiration. Domains, SSLs, 3rd party software licenses/services...anything that can cause an outage because something wasn't paid or expired.
I wish using the word "Melancholic" was more of a thing, rather than the pedestrian and, in my firm belief, incorrect, "Melancholy"

I was feeling Melancholic, not melancholy. I know Oxford disagrees and fuck them too. Melancholy already is a perfectly nice noun.
So, what is a physics-informed neural network?
The good ones are quite tiny and make out of a single piece of fiber, at least that's what they look like. All corners are round and there's a floor drain meaning you can make a splash and not worry about it. Their small size makes them ideal for hotel rooms and apartments alike where space is a premium. Since they are prefab you can also put them into the garden as standalone modules which some people prefer.
This is nothing special to India or "evil" countries that like to censor/surveil their interwebs. Also, Indian politicians care far more about grift than they do surveillance (though they do also like surveillance.) We're talking about a country where one party tried to buy an election by distributing free color televisions: https://www.google.com/search?q=india+free+color+tvs+electio...

Many countries (the US included) regulate/license even receive-only satellite devices.

It's not for surveillance or censorship reasons, it's for interference prevention reasons. If they didn't regulate ground stations, space would be a wild wild west of people beaming whatever frequencies, at whatever signal strengths, they wanted.

Bit of history/trivia: many cell phones used to not support GLONASS satellite fixes within US territories because first telecom companies "forgot" to file the necessary paperwork with the FCC to get GPS chips in phones licensed for GLONASS reception. Then when they did, the FCC sat on the paperwork for no particularly good reason.

Used to be you could enjoy a GPS/GLONASS/Galileo satellite position fix on a cross-atlantic flight and watch as your fix dropped to just GPS the second you crossed into US territory.

While "intimate" can mean be familiar or familial, "intimidate" is a much more common and threatening word; due to being so much more common I can imagine it would be easy to misread and get a very different feeling from what you had intended. "I am writing to intimidate you..." is definitely not a good message to send to your boss.

> No wonder text is so emotionless and people misread and get angry

Native speakers definitely struggle with this as well. There is a diffucult balance between being too succinct (curt, impolite) and excessively wordy (feels forced or contrived, muddles the message).

Personally, when I communicate st work, I tend to phrase things as questions- either as a standalone comment or as a preamble to my argument. That way, I am (hopefully) clear that I am trying to be inclusive, rather than divisive, and I think it makes people less likely to project emotion from their own assumptions into what I write.
True, the vary foundations of proper commerce are threatened!
Vacant housing is only a problem in constrained areas. The vast majority of the U.S. is not constrained. Your summer cabin in Montana isn't depriving anyone of a home, because it isn't driving up prices. Your unoccupied condo in Manhattan is depriving someone of a home, but I suspect that there are not so many of these.
There are lots of options apart from the standard salaried career. At the age of 39 I'd had enough for working for other people and started my own bootstrapped 1-man company, selling software products online. I am still at it 16 years later.
ha ha yeah literally my thought. Why I can't just catch the signal now. It's all come to starlink hand right? Why starlink need Indian Gov permission?.

On a side note. I'm living in India. Finally we see some promising speed from Jio and have good stable speed from Bharath Fibernet( 150 Mbps )
> But why is it a con though?

The product would work just fine without all the extra monetization, that's how it worked for the longest time. Nobody asked for savings trough selling their privacy, that was very much forced on us, and now they force the upsell to "enterpise privacy edition" as the solution to a problem they themselves introduced.

You shouldn’t take investment advice from random people on the internet unless that advice is incredibly bland and basic. HN does not have magic hunches.
Fun fact: the semicolon won't decline soon in France (and a few other countries I think): it's what we use instead of commas for CSV files!

However I never use it when writing anything, I'm not even sure what's its usage.
Fair, I actually did assume that it costs money to put some videos up on twitch.

In other ways, though, I'm not actually clear that they lock you in much. Such that I'm not sure how it is any less free than most any other alternative.

Consider, it is basically the idea to use the town hall to host a local event.
Heh, I noticed:^)

Privacy and other considerations aside, I'm not against Apple or their products, which are much better built than the vast majority of PCs out there, and of course cost as such, but one can't become a Mac user without being involved in the Apple ecosystem which surely means more consistency but also being more closed (the former being a natural byproduct of the latter).
If this article falsely praised Linux without any reference to information that proves the contrary where it applies I would be pissed off as well. As a Linux enthusiast (not fanboy) there's nothing worse than having people that I "converted" to Linux going back to Windows and telling me that I was lying when I told them that Linux was superior in this or that.

The article tells something that if true would surely make some noise, especially since two years later they acquired RedHat. I would expect a link to IBM telling us the same thing, and not an article that essentially links to other versions of itself.
The dinosaur statues made me go wtf as well: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-3253591...
> Nevertheless the goal is not to reduce infections but to reduce deaths and serious illness.

Whose goal? There is no shortage of people and organizations that are trying to force others to vaccinate “to prevent spread”. As your link shows the effectives of this is dubious.
I love the emacs philosophy. Doom emacs with evil mode is a gorgeous experience. However, once LSP and a few plugins are running it's just too slow to use. I hope one day we'll have a multi-threaded version of emacs that can compete with VSCode, JetBrains, and Xcode.
I usually have a minimum of 15-20 hours a week JUST with meetings. And I can't just tell people I refuse to go to these. And then I also have my own tasks to do.

I really have no clue how many people I see claim working 15 hrs total a week when that's already the absolute bare minimum for me.
The main way to enforce this is by restricting sale of the hardware. It's big and high tech, can't be smuggled into the country in meaningful quantities.
Yeah, it just repeats the Narrative in a giant post hoc. "Zillow uses ML models in some way; Zillow failed; QED, ML models are dangerous." Except the reporting by Bloomberg and insiders is that Zillow failed because they overrode the models predicting lower prices and bought like drunken sailors, and it's just a story of yet another marketmaker being run over by the market. So sad, too bad, largely irrelevant to the tech world, yet, it looks like it's entering the mythology of ML up there with Cambridge Analytica or the tank story - unkillable by mere facts or tardy reporting.
Starlink requires massive annual cap ex, is bandwidth limited per cell, and needs very expensive ground receivers. Jio is the most cost effective large-scale bandwidth provider ever created! They are on two different planets playing two different games.
Remind people that life is not fair, if you don't progress you'll be ran over, and that you should stick with your neighbours instead of betraying them - depending on which side you're on.

These forest people are as good as dead. Their neighbors are murdering them just so they can sell natural resources at bottom prices.

Those who turn the resources into much more valuable stuff couldn't give a flying fuck, but they tell their own countrymen that they do.

It's all rather funny. But such is life.
Which also makes me wonder, if it's not legal anyway... was the Ocarina of Time source not included in the major Nintendo leak from last year? A lot of other stuff from that era certainly was...
When you say "the government can't devalue it by printing more," that shows a pretty shallow understanding of economics.
Are you thinking there's only so much gold owned by the government, and each printed dollar represents a share of that gold? That hasn't been true for a long time. Are you thinking there's only so much money in the world, so we should never print more since that dilutes the pool? That's not correct either.
Economics isn't an easy subject, and I'm far from knowledgeable about it myself, but I do know that the sound bites favored by TV personalities are all about pushing political agendas, and not at all related to actual, you know, truth.

This is a cool fact!
Very rightous of the US. Getting to decide who does and doesn't get to self govern.
Mid-40s here. I've built up a skill stack that pays like lawyering, and went solo. 3 years so far, no regrets. I work about 24 hours a week. I make a lot more per hour than I did at Google, but less overall, and it's fine. I get to actually enjoy my life and I'm not going insane with stress. If I don't want to work, I don't work. Previously I'd take sabbaticals between significant job changes, and I find that I can't actually stay without work for more than 6 months. Not because I need money or whatever, but because I just can't sit on my ass and do nothing at all.

I'm in the US though. I'm aware European software people are pretty much wage slaves, and they don't have much of a choice but to work until they croak. But in the US if you are capable, and you play your cards right, and don't blow all your money on unnecessary bullshit, you can be financially independent by ~40 years old, after which you can downshift and enjoy life, if you let go of the idea that your total comp will always go up, or that you can make all the money in the world.

Move to the US maybe? There's a dearth of quality software engineers at the moment, and people move around a lot I hear.

Also protip: level designations such as Staff or Senior Staff or whatever aren't even comparable between similar companies within the same city. I largely ignore them. A senior SWE at e.g. Google can be paid much more than a director elsewhere (and be more capable than a director elsewhere, as well). Look at how much you're getting paid, and whether the work environment is decent - those are the only two things that really matter in a job.
The Spanish flu of 1918 killed ~675k people in the US [0] and the US population was 105M [1], so the Spanish flu killed off a bit more than 0.6% of the entire US population, or about 1 in 150 people. Despite massive improvements in sanitation and ability to distance from others, COVID has still killed a bit more than 0.2% of the entire US population in the past 2 years. These pandemics are comparable.

India is pretty sizable, and Starlink currently does not do any orbital routing, so you've got to be within a certain distance from a ground station so that the satellite has you and that ground station in view. I don't know what that distance is though --- maybe someone else can provide that.

If Sri Lanka also doesn't allow ground stations, that would make it pretty hard to cover southern India.

Even when there's orbital routing, there's likely capacity limits.

If Pakistan doesn't block ground stations, it may be a good solution for people in Jammu and Kashmir to get around the frequent government telecommunications shutdowns; assuming lax enforcement.
There are two validation engineers for every design engineer in the semiconductor industry. There are even fewer design architects. But they all need a computer engineering background. Design verification is just what’s in demand.
>> I want to work hard, and see meaningful progression: in salary, in impact, in respect.

You seem to have the mindset that you can receive some form of personal fulfillment from your career and that your employer is there to provide that to you in return for services rendered.

In the perverted corporate world in which most companies operate, it is in their best interest to keep you dissatisfied for as long as you expect that fulfillment or happiness can be achieved by working for them.

If you want salary, impact, and respect then you should probably continue on the management track but you'll have to accept that the impact and respect components are a fabrication.
Starlink cost is 499$ for equipment and 99$ per month? That is way too high for broadband prices in India. Fibre internet of 100 Mbps is about 18$. Mobile 4G is even cheaper.

If you've been doing it for most of your career, certainly. But a lot of people start their careers later or make dumb decisions with money for a chunk of the time, those things can totally push retirement well past 50.
Simply put, yes. The same effects could have been accomplished with extensive public transportation, subsidized to the point of being free for the same cost as the car and road subsidies. And with far greater positive effects on poverty, due to providing a smaller barrier of entry. Also likely far more free money and labor being diverted to more creative endeavors, due to the freedom from funding being forced to be allocated to a car for basic needs.
I think after you are 35 you don't want to see progression in salary but in life quality.

As someone in that age bracket, but not working in the big US tech bubble we often discuss on HN, I don't entirely agree. I have other commitments now that I didn't have in my 20s, things that can cost a lot more money, yet which have improved my quality of life greatly and are of immense value to me.

For a 35+ year old developer here in the UK, even a good one, if they're still working most as a hands-on employee they will probably have spent the majority of their career earning a salary that is above average by UK standards but less in TC than a new grad with zero experience would get at a FAANG in a US tech centre from day one. Almost no-one with that kind of role has been earning FU money here, and we're still doing better than most of the world outside the US. For a long time, if you wanted more you either went freelance or started your own "real" business.

Today that situation is changing, slowly. Upward pressure from the crazy amounts of money in the industry both in the US and increasingly in other places as well, combined with demand for decent developers outstripping supply, means salaries that were almost unthinkable even five years ago are starting to become viable and a whole scale of technical roles above "senior" is starting to appear at larger companies. We're still nowhere near US levels, but someone recently asked me whether I'd consider taking on what we might call a senior staff or principal level role at a UK-based tech company where I'd been consulting, and the kind of salary they were asking about was at least 3x where the salary ceiling was for most UK developers just a few years ago (which many of those developers would have hit well before the 10 year mark).

So while the argument above might work in parts of the industry in the US it's not necessarily the case in other parts of the world, where new options have been opening up for highly experienced developers in recent years that could break through a long-standing ceiling and make a huge difference financially.
I was thinking the same thing, but having travelled with my AeroPress for almost 7 years now I have to agree it's an amazing device.

Makes me wonder if Zillow wasn't planning to "tune" the models, surely they wouldn't want to publicly publish what they think things are worth and then offer 5% less. I wonder whether accurate estimates or making money from flipping would have dictated their decision-making...
I am not personally felt much about the situation. Your reasoning is always admirable.

I did what I did because I believe there needs someone who can be more open about certain things, so that they extend the range of discussion seen as normal here.

My statements also serve as a tool to expand the space for discussion for fellow HN visitors to feel more comfortable to express themselves.

Do I intentionally break some guidelines here? I personally don't think so. But I cannot deny the accusations according to the site rules. Because site rules are interpreted in that way, and my interpretation is slightly different.
Even a mid-sized sedan can handle that. A full-sized sedan could do it with room to spare.
Normally I would agree with this sentiment, but then look at the prices of artisans which hover between $50-$150 each, then consider the fact that every key on this keyboard was individually custom made. At ~87 keys in a $1400 kit, this is already a steal for resin-cast Alps keycaps.

https://youtu.be/VIRkCXVwoXk

https://youtu.be/LY2dbQ_M06g
It bothers you? Then don’t buy it. I doubt they’re making very much money on something like this - at these prices the volumes are obviously going to be small and the custom keycaps and machining for a short run are not cheap.

If someone is trying to get rich quick there are far more effective ways then selling a handful of keyboards to a few nerds with disposable income.
Let's not turn this into an exercise in moving goalposts and constructing strawmen, OK? I never expressed any disrespect of EMs, nor did I propose a flat organizational structure. You specifically mentioned going up to Vice President of Engineering level, which is quite different than a line EM, and I responded to that. Your absurd invocation of communism aside, that's way over on the old-fashioned authoritarian/hierarchical end of the organizational spectrum.
I'm not super sure but you probably could've used one instead of the comma in your last sentence. I think people just use other symbols instead: comma, dash and period.
I think it would actually be better not to have the carousel at all, but paginated with like, 5-10 per page?
tl:dr; Guns don't kill people, AS/400s rob people... or something.
