Ask HN: How do you archive old/abandoned code changes?
I find myself wanting to keep bits of changes around, that I may in fact never want. But some have useful bits of logic in them, or snippets that I may need in the future, or may want to incorporate in other areas at some point in the future.

And, of course, as soon as I delete these types of bits of code (after getting tired of seeing them lying around), I'll find myself wishing I had kept them someplace.

Yes, I could go back and look at backups. But do you have a better way? And how do you organize them?

Examples: Save in git branches? Save as patch commits?
The article directly contradicts your comment, stating that ill-gotten gains were repaid in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars of fines.

Perhaps the government is lying about this, but at that point, you're just believing a conspiracy.

It's not nearly the problem now it was ~6 years ago when I was stuck with 8TB in a single file at a small startup.

I look around now and you a right. It's really no big deal to move a few terabytes of data around but it sure was a mess back then and I'm once bitten, twice shy.
OSHA is a federal agency.

Tesla leads the nation in OSHA violations. From the linked article: "data collected by Forbes shows that Tesla has accumulated more than three times the number of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) violations that its top 10 competitors amassed from 2014-2018."

And indeed, the data shows that with 75% of reported safety violations, Tesla not just leads the nation in violations, it has more than 3x the safety violations of every other US auto maker combined.
If you do read it, try to spot the point where the authorship switches. It's believed that at some point after the original author's death, a later cleric decided to expand the original work. The change in writing style is extremely apparent.
This is a really interesting answer. Not a lot of people wish they had more debt.

When new graduates are saddled with debt, a lot of them feel like they have to take the highest-paying job that's on offer, and that ends up greatly narrowing their life direction. Don't you think that debt would have had similar effects on you?
The CEO of JPM between 2008 and 2016 (the time period in question) is the same CEO that is in charge today.
That does seem like a somewhat obvious solution to built a relatively simple pooler / more efficient listener in. Anyone working on something like this? Merge with an existing solution?

sure, the scales of various industries can be very different, but that doesn't imply that economies of scale (or other economies, like scope) will necessarily dictate winner-take-all dynamics in any of them.
My team is full of lifers (everyone but me and the friend I got hired have been here >8 years), and only one person of the 12 of us left this year. My fiancee's company is in the process of losing the entire mobile team (Android/iOS, ~8 team members, lost 5 this year), but it's a dumpster fire with low wages, so them going down in flames isn't necessarily related to a broader movement.
At our age (50) I think it's time to trim the fat where you can. Drop all the bloated software and hardware that you don't need. You may not have control over your workplace but you can simplify your own digital life.

I have recently been dropping software, subscriptions, containers and hardware like a good one. I have realised a lot of this stuff is just a giant waste of time. And time is more precious than ever now.
You can find it not useful personally but still leave a positive comment for the creator who is sharing something they made with the community. "Subsidize what you want more of, tax what you want less of". If you want people to share their creations, be more encouraging/positive. If you don't want people to share their creations, be more critical/negative.

Yeah, I actually like the existing Wikipedia design, but I like what the author has done here - I see it more as a minor UI evolution, with some additional conveniences.

I like it!
It is really annoying to be shown the new site so I just use mobile apps to read it now.
Someone in an HN comment already said this and they suggested reading it with a companion book, so I collected one.

> You’re attacking a straw man. Conservatives aren’t and don’t purport to be anarcho-libertarians.

It's not uncommon for prominent GOP politicians to portray themselves this way. And I've seen similar declarations from rank and file GOP members.

It's a motte and bailey fallacy: when progressives want some new regulation, conservatives declare that they're the party of the government not intruding into your business, of the government being hands off. When they want some new regulation, or to maintain a currently intrusive one, then suddenly they're the faction of balance after all.
Sounds like a wholesaler/retailer arrangement.

Public reading of alleged confidential Facebook and Irish DPC documents (noyb)
> A large Rust project uses unsafe only because its authors don't care enough.

This is not true. That might account for some aspects of why there are some uses of 'unsafe', but it is not true of all uses of 'unsafe'.

The existence of 'unsafe' is itself the clearest demonstration of why you're wrong on this point. Its existence is a practical trade off that acknowledges it is sometimes necessary to use 'unsafe' to accomplish some goal, and that there is a long tail of such uses. Too long to feasibly build and enumerate every such case into the language. The goals might be rooted in functionality or performance or possibly other things.
The fact they used a 35m radio telescope as the receiver station here, and transmission powers way over legal limits for normal LoRa-like applications is a pretty good hint. You lose a crazy amount of signal with moonbounce, the effort is always easier to put into different methods instead. AFAIK it's only non-experimental use predates human-made satellites (US military, as a further channel to reach far-away war ships even if terrestrial propagation conditions are bad). If you can't use satellites, and can't have a receiver station within a few thousand miles of your transmitter, then it maybe is sort-of an option, but that's not really a situation you have anymore.

Amateur radio operators still do it, and with purpose-made codecs and really slow speeds it's not that out of reach (i.e. at least for those you don't need a radio telescope dish), but that's just because it's an interesting challenge.

Did he ever use S.N.'s crypto signature? IMHO that's the only good proof.
Yes...formaldehyde exposure is a big issue in the US. Not many know of it. I bought a new construction house, so it has new carpet, paint, cabinets, wood flooring etc has an off gas effect. I honestly it's criminal to allow builders to build like this, or material to be manufactured like this. That "new car" smell, that smell when you open up new furniture made of plywood (the glue contains formaldehyde) .

There are threshold laws in the US and Europe. There are laws from OSHA that regulate where you work - but no laws that regular where you sleep! It's all driven by money, of course...material with lower formaldehyde cost more to manufacture. Just walk into a Sherwin Williams and compare their paint. The highest ones are eco friendly "Low VOC" (volatile organic compound) - so industry definitely knows about it.

The numbers in my house were effectively off the charts and OSHA would be closing down your employer if you had this exposure at work.

Remediation for this is essentially allow to off gas, keep windows open. Off gassing also is impacted by humidity, so may be low during winter but high in the summer or when it rains.

Air filter DOES NOT fix this. The amount of air moved by a HVAC is peanuts compared to just opening windows for a few minutes.

I was pleasantly stunned when I recently re-read Foundation - after reading them in junior high school, some 25 years ago. I actually remembered most of the characters (note, there's pretty much a protagonist per chapter and the original trilogy spans... 10? thousand years).

On a different note - Hurki Murakami's non-fictional account of the Tokyo subway gas attack "Underground" is a harrowing, but rewarding read. And while tragic, "Norwegian Wood" is lighter, and also great (I actually think his best book among those I've read is "South of the Border" - in a similar sense that "The great Gatsby" is good (unsurprising as Murakami translated Scott Fitzgerald).

> There's big money in this sort of backend data analytics..

Which is kind of weird, when you think about it. Why is this information valuable to companies? And why is it so valuable that so many companies can make money selling effectively the same information?

It makes sense why government agencies, particularly the police would place a value on this information. But they also have so many ways of obtaining this data that they can't be willing to pay much for yet another source of location data.

2nd public reading of alleged confidential Facebook and Irish DPC documents
Here's my recommendations without any particular order and just books ive read recently and havent sorted into the library.

Factfullness by Hans rosling: The world is awesome, stop focusing on some tiny negatives that are being mispresented by the media.

Martian, Artemis, and Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir: Contemporary top scifi author

Starship Troopers by Robert A Heinlein: The movie was awesome, until you read the book and see the movie as an abomination.

Pheonix and Unicorn Projects by Gene Kim: Devops > ITIL.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius: Stoicism, how to be a good leader, how to live life.

How to win friends and influence people by Dale Carnegie: Everyone should be forced to read this multiple times. I really need to re-read.

Lying by Sam Harris: Seriously don't lie. You'll find things get better unexpectedly.

12 rules for life by Jordan Peterson: Here comes the downvotes.
Down the bottom there is a link to the desktop version of the site.
Isn't the main reason that making from scratch is less labour-intensive than repairing because of mass production?

With medieval production methods, I would bet that making from scratch is significantly more labour-intensive than repairing.
The goal there is to minimise the time spent waiting for the other shoe to drop.

After all, if you know layoffs are happening, and your boss schedules a confidential one-on-one meeting with you tomorrow, how well are you going to sleep tonight?

And what of the people who aren't getting fired - you can't really reassure them their jobs are safe before you've told the people whose jobs aren't safe. So you'll be keeping them in limbo too.

Of course, no amount of careful management is going to make people enjoy getting fired (except perhaps a generous voluntary early retirement package)
Please never ever use system-ui in your CSS.

A classic article about why: https://infinnie.github.io/blog/2017/systemui.html

In this particular case, it totally ruined the fonts of Wikipedia for East-Asian (CJK) Windows users.

Just in case the article itself isn't convincing enough, below is a list of some websites that have tried "system-ui" and then reverted it semi-immediately:

Facebook/bootstrap, GitHub, Twitter, Stack Overflow...
In that case you don't have a customer, you have to dog-food it. Most of the time when agile references a customer, customer feedback, and customer interaction it's actually the customer contracting the work. That is a different context than a startup or video game developer or others because there is a clear customer stakeholder who can provide feedback and validation from the start.

This gets to part of the problem in all these discussions. The context that the Agile Manifesto was written in was not in creating Facebook or Google, but in creating software for a defined customer who held a stake in the outcome (had invested capital, along with wanting/needing the results). Once written, something like your Google Docs replacement can get a customer stakeholder, but they won't have it at the start unless you line up early users (and even then, they probably aren't invested).
A better phrasing would be "you don't get what you don't pay for". The mere fact that you've paid does not guarantee that you receive anything of comparable value in return.

When it comes to open source and other community-based projects, it's true that you shouldn't expect much in the way of personalized service or attention to your particular needs or issues if you're not paying for it. Fortunately, just making a copy of some software (even really good software) doesn't cost much at all, so it's not unreasonable that you're getting that much for free. Improving the software requires an investment from someone, though, one way or another.
Instead of worrying about the banks he should have been worried about the moral fabric of the country. At least since the bailouts 2008 there is a (mostly justified) perception that the system is rigged in favor of the wealthy. This has made a lot of people very cynical and has allowed a ton of conspiracy theories to rise. If this trend continues there will be a point when people will vote in a dictator.

It’s already a big problem that politics attracts more and more crazy people and reasonable people are staying away.
Honestly, I'm not concerned if it "great resignation" really happened. My boss heard the news and I was able to leverage an offer to get a 50% salary increase.

This worked out well for me. The negative side-effect is that I am getting ghosted a lot on linked-in as my salary is high for the area and recruiters just stop responding when they hear what offer I would consider.

However, my next move is going to be to a tech company which will enable another 50% jump hopefully.
There's no need to gate-keep software development. People do it for all different purposes.

The downside of reading The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear is that the third book isn't written yet, and no one seems to know exactly when it's going to appear (if ever). That is, unless something has changed very recently regarding this.
From what I can read on that page, they created a small volume of space with specific materials and found physical signatures consistent with what an albcubierre drive would look like. This is just the first foray into what could be a long and fruitful scientific discussion... or CERN could send their experts and show that the experimentation was just mistaken (more likely).

Compared to other Audiogram tools I've used, this is really easy. Processing time is a bit long, but I did test it with a 2 hour podcast.

I have a couple feature suggestions that I think would be really helpful to podcast producers. Our show has mp3 chapters, and we also include matching time codes in our show notes. If you could read one (or both) of those you could suggest segments for users to clip out.

It would also be great if you could read a RSS feed and use that as an input in addition to uploading single files.
Equally, I don't like it when websites try to guess what kind of browser I'm in and force me into the mobile experience when I have a window take up half the screen on a 1080p monitor, ... so I guess there's really no easy win for this :(
That's exactly what they did. The article says $172m disgorgement (how much the CFTC thinks they profited from this), $311m restitution (the amount the CFTC thinks JPM harmed others but didn't capture), and $436m civil penalty ("naughty boy" fine).
I don't understand this type of response. "I know my reasoning is faulty, but I believe it anyway..."
I've been doing it for about 8 years. The best part for me is the research. Going through old maps and topographies and aerial photographs is good fun for me.

The hardest part is getting permissions from land owners, many of whom have no idea what you're trying to do and are therefore rightly suspicious. But I'm fairly outgoing and friendly in nature so that hasn't been too difficult.

As others have mentioned, if you're in the US, you're unlikely to find very old things like European and Asian hobbyists are able to, but finding 150 year old coins and war relics is satisfying enough for me.
IIRC Google One support can help with everything Google related, and you get it as a part of some subscriptions like Google Drive.
I mean, I don't think it's generational at all, there are plenty of libraries on Github that are meant to be fun and silly [1] [2] [3] [4].

It goes to show that even stuff that I would consider rock solid (such as man pages) can be surprisingly brittle if one person can make a change over a tweet.

Some comments on the SO thread seem to imply that it shouldn't have been removed but I don't think this was a "good" easter egg. The joke is good, but it should have been harder to trigger (in my opinion).
ARM Thumb is similar in design, and the wiki says that ARM licensed SuperH patents to implement it.

Of several Busybox binaries for ARM, the v7m version is the smallest, and is (AFAIK) Thumb-only.

One thing not considered in TFA is the idea of drilling a hole and then using nuclear explosions to pulverize the surrounding rock to effectively increase the size of the hole. This might also punch through the last (how many?) meters of rock that are too hot to drill through. I still doubt it would work, and if it did that might be really bad too.

I don't understand the distinction you're trying to make. The past alternative was to hire UX testers, do focus groups, and have alpha/beta testers. It's obviously advantageous for companies to instead push this work onto the users, and the cost function they choose of course doesn't take into account what are now externalities.

They lost me at "We all strive to be more productive".

Do we? It seems to me that many of us reach a point in our careers when we can maintain a high level of productivity (defined using whatever personal metric we choose (personal metric chosen over any external metric on the basis of our being seasoned professionals who can manage our own work)) for a long period. Sometimes at our cost.

Productivity isn't my issue. Stepping away often is. It's far too easy to devote most of a week of long days to fixing bugs and adding features and tell one's self that a few hours of downtime Friday and Saturday will be enough to spend part of Sunday working on the critical customer demo Monday.

Which went very well, thanks for asking! But how well it went isn't the point. My level of fatigue is the point.

Instead of 5 why's, I offer why nots: Why not step back and take the extra day? Why not give yourself permission to rest (at least a bit) more so that you can sustain this level of quality and quantity for longer?

Why not indeed....
It was ordered directly from the Walmart website and arrived in an Amazon package with zero mention of the Walmart "seller". The Amazon product was listed by an actual brand.

IMO it was a clear case of someone doing arbitrage across ecom platforms. As a first time Walmart+ customer it certainly tarnishes my desire to ever order from there again.

In simplistic terms, maybe yes. I'm on the side of labor in this (in any) market so I don't intend to undercut the purpose of your comment...

... however. This depends on where the inflation is in the market and the way you intend to use your wages. "Inflation" is a number that we use to indicate much more complex and varied market trends.
