The greatest thing about Notepad is that it runs and displays a blinking cursor ready for typing in much less than a second for a new document. On my Windows 11 machine it appears to be around 200 msec. I've tried setting my text file handler to other text editors but nothing else comes close to this speed of utility. I'm very glad they are not messing with that.

Overall, I'm very pleased with my Windows 11. Everything is just slightly, but enough, better to make it a good upgrade. That said, I read somewhere that Microsoft intends it to be mostly for new computers. It's not a big loss for a Windows 10 user to stay on 10. It's more of a nicety to upgrade. It's better looking but functionally not much different afaik
I’m running EKS in us-west-2. My pods use a role ARN and identity token file to get temporary credentials via STS. STS can’t return credentials right now. So my EKS cluster is “down” in the sense that I can’t bring up new pods. I only noticed because an auto-scaling event failed.
I have a lots of experience with Django, and a few months experience with Laravel.
I think Django is good at pure backend solutions. When you're not doing the frontend in Django itself but instead doing a separate SPA. Also the admin is a great tool as an internal CMS. Django rest framework is awesome too.

Laravel is a real "full stack" framework, it has a very powerful templating system (one of the best I've seen!) where you can do components instead of just includes. It has a powerful assets bundling pipeline, great integration with alpine, Vue, inertia and the super awesome livewire.

Laravel documentation is TOP.

As I'm not a fan of the SPA approach and still like frontend and building applications, I much prefer Laravel nowadays.

en.m. is NOT a seperate resource from en.. It is the SAME resource because it has the SAME content and because editing the content on EITHER changes the content on the other. It is a different PRESENTATION of the content, which should be served at the same URL. This is WHY HTTP has such headers as Vary and Accept.

If en.m. is asking for the mobile version, then en. is asking for the desktop version, yes? So why does en. redirect to en.m. on mobile?
Maybe YouTube fills that niche. However comments section on any song is utter trash. Maybe music can be anti social as the article said...
SoundCloud and Spotify both have social networking features. SoundCloud especially you could see as akin to Flickr, where users shared content (but don't do their creating/editing)
The majority of people cannot be trusted to save for hard times, much less vacation. White collar freelancers with market power are not a model that is generally applicable to the broader white or blue collar population.

This also reeks of “unlimited PTO” which effectively results in individuals taking less vacation and other comparable benefits.

I was using it to mean actual data rather than anecdotes.

The subject of programmer productivity is both much-studied and discussed and very hard to define, measure, and compare. The studies that do have some empirical evidence seem to show that team dynamics and individual programmer personalities have the most dramatic effects, compared to things like programming language, tests, style guides, etc. It's not that consistent styles and automated testing are bad ideas, it's that they don't clearly make a big dent in team productivity in cases where one or a few incompetent (or merely slow) programmers, or one jerk, can derail everyone's productivity.

This I why I emphasized demonstrating a commitment to the team and showing some contributions before criticizing the environment and trying to propose changes. If you want the project to grind to a halt tell your new co-workers they are doing everything wrong. No automated test suite is going to fix that problem.
How to recover when your Facebook account is hacked

The sellable product that Big Tech sells is aggregating and ranking billions of pages of content somebody else produced, so when you type a few characters into a search box, the most relevant results show up in few milliseconds. The ability to do that turns out to be more valuable than the actual content being read if measured by a typical ARPU of Big Tech vs ARPU of News co.

One of the problems of course is that Big Tech then does not actually sell this valuable product but chooses to monetize it with ads instead, which did democratize access to information, but also incentivized creation of huge quantities of low quality information and misinformation (again mostly for the purpose of monetization with ads). Whether we are better off as a society is another question.

This is some great advice:

My wife and I have five wonderful children and something she told me when the kids were all single-digit ages has stuck with me to this day. One day my wife comes up to me and she says, “You’re losing our kids by being the same dad to all five. You think there is a “right way to be a dad”, but in reality, you have to realize all five need a different dad.”

I made that change and it had remarkable effects. It then took me a year or two to realize that the same mentality applies to being a manager and leader. Learning how to be a different type of leader, one who is the leader that each of your employees needs, not some recipe you have in your head, is something that takes a lot of investment, but definitely pays off.
Sure. I may be showing my money privilege. I would pay, but that doesn't mean it's the best price. Just an example.

The trend of discovering biological purposes for what were once termed 'junk' DNA (which these RNA are transcribed from) continues.

In addition to the improved understanding of our physical nature, it will be exciting to see what applications are developed for targeting or tricking-out these novel cellular components for pharmaceutical and biotechnological purposes. They are sure to be significant, if our experience with the RNA tech employed in the modeRNA and Pfizer vaccines are any indication.

Personally, as someone who finished his biochemistry degree 2 decades ago (and has mostly worked on the software side of things since), I'm excited for what we'll be able to do with fuller understanding of this molecular machinery, and plan to pivot back into biotech over the next decade.
I was under the impression that RPI chose "stock" Broadcom SoCs for their boards that, but the main problem with Broadcom is that they won't speak to you unless you have a substantial enough order?
Oh, I believe there will be an effort to address the problem. I just don't think it will be effective because it doesn't address the root cause. It is just another shift in the consumerist mindset that doesn't work: EG pay someone (the government) make it go away.

All the consumer warnings in the world won't solve the problem.

> We know how important Notepad is to so many of your daily workflows…

Perhaps the single funniest line ever penned by Microsoft.

Cannot imagine any “Windows Insiders in the Dev Channel” who use, let alone rely on, Notepad for any serious work.

Regarding your comment on component reuse via grouping, it would be cool to be able to select a set of connected nodes and call that a “functional group” which you name and also specify named inputs and outputs to it which get wired to specific inputs or outputs on nodes in the group. Then have the name you gave it be one of the node types you can build with on the “add mode” list.
Or maybe when I posted this initially there were 5 comments, all but one having a moan about the UI.

Nope, must be paid shills.
I use Notepad almost daily to "strip" formatting before pasting content. I hope they don't ever change that ability.
I’ve been using elementary OS (Pantheon) and I like so much about it, yet still often find it feeling a bit limited as a daily driver for software development work.

I’d like to try Gnome 40+ with one more distro hop, but if that doesn’t stick, then I’m likely to head back to KDE Plasma (Manjaro) since that’s been the best Linux experience I’ve had so far. Sane defaults, yet still easily customizable wherever I felt the need to.
Totally agree, although $1 is too much. But $0.25 sounds about right.

To be honest, just give me the price you charge advertisers to advertise to me and let me read it with no advertisements. I'd be immensely satisfied with that solution, but no way in hell am I paying $15-$30/month for every single separately affiliated site. It's ridiculous honestly when they're otherwise perfectly happy to serve me ads instead for a fraction of that price.
Thats just a single inbox and no aliasses, right?
Can you name one? OpenBSD-affiliated projects like OpenSSH are the only ones I know of that do fully separate releases where one is just for one OS, and the other is the “portable” one

Isn't this the MO of vimeo? Target higher quality content, and allow pay-per-hosting to avoid ads?
I heard good things about PCengines APU products (e.g. see here https://teklager.se/en/products/routers/apu3d4-open-source-r... I'm not affiliated). You essentially run openwrt or pfsense on your own hardware. Alternatively, many people are now putting pfsense/opnsense on their own hardware. In particular thin-clients are very capable and some can be easily be retrofitted with multiple ethernet ports (however, prices have gone up significantly for some of these over the last year). The one thing you need to be careful with is wifi hardware compatibility.

An interview is decided in the first several seconds. First impressions are a real thing. Most interviewers will decide based on how you look, act, and talk whether you are going to pass the interview, and they will confirmation bias you into their predetermined decision. Of course with an amazing interview performance you can switch a predetermined no into a yes, and with a very poor interview you can turn a predetermined yes into a no. Why do you think the first question most interviewers ask is something vague and useless like "tell me about yourself"? That question is the real interview.

There is also the reality that when companies need to fill a role, and when first start interviewing they will set the bar way too high and reject some perfectly qualified candidates. After the interview process has dragged on for some time they will eventually decide that enough is enough and will hire the next candidate that shows basic competence (or just hire someone's friend).

BTW, one solution to this I recall being suggested by Eric Schmidt is to use a hiring committee among other things
I don't think most visits to documentation involve reading the summary; they're either looking for a specific detail (which they can find via the index) or for a common snippet that can be expressed in an example.

If I'm using `re` and I check the documentation 20 times over the course of the week, I'll probably read the summary on my first visit, and then on each of the 19 subsequent visits I'll be looking for granular function details or patterns that I can copy. I think it makes sense to put the most frequently-used stuff at the top. The summary will probably be denser and harder to skim than the examples anyway.

I suppose it really depends though. What you want is to get a bit of everything before the break, so that the user can see a couple intro sentences, a few examples, the index (ideally in a sidebar), and the beginning of the overview before they even have to scroll.

p.s. Do you think one of us should make another Ask HN post and see if anybody has contact with him? The site is kind of big these days, and I doubt anybody would vote it up unless they recognized the name, but it could be worth a shot. I don't even know what I'd ask or say if we did find him though. Probably thanks for the memories, and wanting to know what he's up to these days.
Personally I think it'd be tough to listen to a bunch of moms and tweens singing for 15s trying to go viral ;0

Could be cool to see some simple generative music like pick a genre, a beat, hum a melody and ML composes something.

Just to play devils advocate - email isn't a great example. In the end, it's become a very centralized service. The protocols allow for decentralization, but these days a very large chunk of email ends up just being data movements in Google's databases and storage systems.

I could go on (the internet itself is moving largely to centralized servers in one of a handful of providers) but the point is - centralization seems to always win out. Can you name a handful of services which started out decentralized and by and large stayed that way? Here are ones which didnt:

Banking, stock trading, email, the internet (defined as computers connected together over tcp/ip), podcasting, blogging, music, gambling, video...

Centralization tends to enable scale, dispute resolution, trust, ability to change. There are downsides to it, but it seems they are easily outweighed according to customers and history.
That's one way to look at it. When you put a bunch of smart people together on a team they all tend to think they're right and they can get very passionate, even when they don't have any data or measurements to back up their opinions. A little humility and time spent adapting to the environment, team, and code base can go a long way.

Anecdotally my experience is that most programmers react to almost all code they didn't write as if it was crap. The more code they have to read and understand the more likely they are to complain about the quality of the code and the overall design of the system. Imagine someone looking at a photo of your house and telling you a hundred things wrong with it, without stepping foot inside or spending some time living there.
Yep. I was a Gnome user until the transition to Gnome 3. I found a new home with KDE Plasma and haven't looked back since.
I think the big problem here is that 2-3 years is almost no time at all. With 2-3 years, basically everyone will wait for the next book in the Game of Thrones series to come out of costing money.

Covid has been nearly 2 years, and for many of us it feels both like yesterday and also like forever ago, for example.

And then you'll have people that want to watch the movie of something, so they're willing to pay the video company for instant access, but the movie is based off a script someone wrote, or a book someone wrote, and that book is at least 2 years old.

RR Martin would make zero dollars from Game of Thrones, for example.
For your needs.
It says they need to have a policy. It doesn't say what the policy has to be, what the punishments are for breaching it, what exceptions could be allowed, who signs off on the policy etc. It also only applies for larger organisations. That's a long way from "it's illegal for your company to contact you out of hours".
Yes this is very important. If possible (and people have already said this is hard), having an interview you don't care about shortly before one you do care about is a great way to warm up. Especially if it's been a while. Some time ago, I switched careers and did a bunch of temporally close interviews. Once I got going, overall I was performing as good as I could, because I'd lost a lot of the anxiety and was practiced and comfortable. Now, if I do a one-of, I'm nervous, and I'm trying to explain myself out loud for the first time, it comes out much worse.
You might be interested in Pure Text. It’s in the Windows App Store and let’s you do the same using a shortcut key.
If you did that some clever person would set up their PiHole so that their device just always worked, and then you couldn't send them ads and surveil them. They'd tell their friends and then everyone would just use their local devices locally. Totally irresponsible what you're suggesting.
Kinda hard to believe after they were blasted for that very situation during/after the S3 outage way back.

If that's the case, it's 100% a feature. They want as little public proof of an outage after it's over and to put the burden on customers completely to prove they violated SLAs.
As far as I know the current SoCs are special-made for RPi, but even when it was a stock part they didn't sell to other companies that wanted to make SBCs with them - some tried.

> (but still inconsitently scale the font sizes so you have to zoom in and out to read different parts)

Once you start with the hack of giving non-mobile-compatible pages a larger viewport in order to not break layouts that react allergic when being squeezed into 300-something pixels, what else do you want to do?

Not scaling font sizes at all just gives you either tiny text (if you zoom out to fit the large viewport onto the small mobile screen) or loads of scrolling around if you display the page at 100 % zoom level instead.

And scaling up all text means you end up approximatively just where you started before you started resizing the viewport. It might not be absolutely exactly the same layout breakage as when squeezing an old page directly into the 300 or so pixels available on a mobile phone in portrait mode, but it will be pretty similar.

So that only leaves trying to scale up only the main body of text (which normally isn't that sensitive with regards to scaling up the font size and therefore increasing its size requirements) and leaving alone smaller bits of text like menus, the page navigation etc., which are more likely to be size-constrained and start causing layout breakage if increased by an extraordinary amount.
> also adding support for multi-level undo

To think that this feature is "new"...

I know notepad is supposed to be as simple as possible, a very fast default and always available text editor. But single undo is for me the single reason I always install notepad++ if I plan to use the computer in the future, or use Wordpad if not.
I'm surprised Spotify has never really expanded their social features, it seems like such an obvious thing to do and could give them an advantage (it already does a little)... but I guess it's an expensive advantage they don't need. It might have kept me around a bit longer.
