So your 3D artist friend got a 1-pound-heavier machine with a plastic build that still gets beat in a single-core CPU benchmark, and he payed extra for that privilege. Let me know how it goes when he drops it.

Not to mention the unusable trackpad and keyboard, and the lack of video camera. Or even the fact that this machine gets super hot and loud, while an air doesn't even have fans.

While I'd like that to be true, I'm skeptical of that outcome from streaming normalization alone.

> "We need work" is a social fact, nothing more, and it's only true as much as it's believed to be true.

Nonsense.

Most men derive purpose in life from work (ie. providing) - this is basic psychology. Even male millionaires start new companies so they have something to do with their time.

Women have entered the workplace, but they're mostly driven by insecurity, not purpose. As one woman programmer told me, "You want to be world-class. I want to sit in my garden patio."

Also, give the fruity prose a break, this is HN, not Lapham's Quarterly.
> downplaying the risk they pose is dangerous

Over-amplifying the risk is dangerous. Wales, according to [1] has had well over 94% MMR vaccination since 2012. The herd immunity threshold for measles is >95%, which is very unique to measles since it's so much more contagious, but to blame anti-vaxxers for that incomplete vaccinated status seems like a likely wrong conclusion. Getting a 100% willing population to 100% vaccination status is _hard_. I see anti-anti-vaxxers everywhere, what I don't see is any evidence or solutions coming from that group, just people whining that "the others" are causing problems.

Likewise, my usual UPS delivery driver seems to take pride in his work and I've noticed and appreciate it. The longer I work in tech, the more I get the itch to quit and work as a handyman or something for a few years.

Yup, this sounds about right.

Agreed. But Clang+LLVM and Visual Studio Code show that discarding this philosophy can lead to a successful project anyway.
Well you can actually build something yourself. Sure, someone else built e.g. the code editor you‘re using, but if you come up with an algorithm yourself, you did, by definition, build it yourself.
The first 10-15 years I worked my ass off. The last 10 I've taken it easy so I'm behind on all the new tech. The problem is now I want to work hard again but my skills are out of date. Despite the "unbelievably Strong" job market I'm finding it hard to get roles.

With Python installed everywhere I often question the logic behind writing long or non-trivial shell scripts.

It always seems so brittle since the output of a command line tool can change (unless it's frozen in some standard) and relies way too much on regex and assumptions about what the data returned will look like. I much prefer to keep bash around only for interactive commands and ad-hoc one-liners.
I had a very nasty depression. Extreme mood swings. From very low up to neutral and back. (I never had manic episodes) Up and down, up and down... It was maddening. And extreme rumination. I discoverd acetylcysteine by accident. I didn't know it could help with depression. I felt its effects within an hour. I immediately went on the internet and searched for "acetylcysteine and depression". That is how I found above article. The internet is full of articles about the efficacy of NAC in relation to psychiatry. I used it for about 6 months. 3 * 600 mg daily.
I can’t make this comment without seeming condescending, but please understand me when I say that I don’t intend it that way.

You’re having an emotional reaction to a brand and a product, and this is not ideal.

I struggle to deal with people who are emotional about brands, both love and hate because I find that there’s no room for objectivity or discussion. There are circumstances where interacting with a brand can be wholly toxic (Oracle) or largely good (Linux, if you can call it a brand). But when you only respond in an emotional way it prevents an intellectually curious discussion.

Stop thinking of these as “Apple” computers and instead look at them as.. computers.

It makes the trade offs a lot more obvious when you remove the emotive element.

This hits the nail on the head. I'm at the bottom of our management tier so I am still expected to do some programming. I feel schizophrenic at times because the mindset required for management and programming are very different. The demands are also very different.

I joke that if I only do programming in the 15 minutes between emails/team messages/calls/meetings/etc. The reality is that if I can't solve the problem in 15 minutes then I have to delegate it. Anything else is my ego getting in the way of getting the problem solved.
Me too. All the shadowy conspiracy theories seem way too complicated, but a simple screwup and the desire to bury it out of embarrassment seems so completely in line with every organization I've ever worked in.

For those of you who aren't familiar, the Secret Service team had been working hard in the year prior to the assassination, and decided to blow off some steam by going out drinking the night before the parade. Because they were all quite hungover, they assigned a relatively new team member, who hadn't gone out drinking with them, to hold the brand new AR-15 they had just been assigned. After the first shot was fired, that agent stood up and began to aim the AR-15, and was immediately knocked back down by the car lurching forward. The theory is that he accidentally squeezed off a round at that moment, which by chance struck Kennedy in the head and killed him.

Supporting evidence:

- The type of bullet that hit Kennedy's head was a frangible one, which is designed to explode upon impact, whereas Oswald's ammunition was non-frangible.

- The third shell found at the book depository was in a different place, and was bent. It could have been used as a chamber plug to keep the chamber safe from dirt and moisture.

- A ballistic expert determined that the fatal shot was most likely to have come from the left rear seat of the Secret Service followup car.

I hate this thing as much as the rest of HN but I think you are thinking too far.

CSAM is just a tool that matches image hashes. It can't make accusations. Matching hashes is not illegal, even having pictures of abused children is not illegal, no prosecutor will take your case if it is the only thing you have. At most it will turn you into a witness. If there is an investigation, it can turn you into a suspect, but suspicion is not an accusation. I mean, if your car is parked next to the place a crime happened, you can be suspected, but it doesn't mean you are going to jail because of where you parked your car.

If, for some reason, you get wrongly accused because the system recorded a match and nothing else, it is not a problem of the tool, it is the much bigger problem of justice not working, blame your shithole country if it happens, not Apple.

I am not saying that false accusations don't happen, but saying that police has no other job than to prosecute is a bit much. Police asked me questions a few times, once for a car that caught fire not far away from where I was, once for a missing person, and once they didn't tell me the reason. Was I suspected? Maybe, I was at the "wrong place" after all, but yet, I never heard from them again. If prosecution was their only goal, I would have been in jail now.
Not saying you're right or wrong but please provide supporting evidence for the claims you've made. It sounds very armchair espionage to me...
Amazing apple let this slip past. Seems pretty obvious why this is bad design, easy to exploit, etc. so maybe it was intentional and already being used by us when the NSO group caught wind through “back channels” and hopped on the gravy train.

Vincent Bugliosi's book on the assassination is highly recommended. It destroys the conspiracy narrative. It's so impressively thorough.
Well, we know the virus existed in the lab in Wuhan. If we don't have any evidence of it existing elsewhere, maybe the simplest explanation is the correct one.

The bigger issue people have is that discussion has been so heavily censored in areas like the US where censorship is not the norm, or at least not desired. This throws fuel on the fire of censorship debate.

Scanning quickly, it seems that the "75 years" is based on calculating "this is how many pages of documents that have been requested" and "this is the minimum production rate we can sustain [for this individual FOIA request, noting that there are ~400 other FOIA requests also pending]". The FOIA request apparently consists of 329k pages, and the production rate is 500 pages/month, and dividing the two numbers indicates the "55 year" rate that was originally suggested. I didn't continue to see where the numbers for the 75 year revision comes from, but that gives you the general picture.

I’ll argue this in good faith. Let’s take your preconditions as fact for the purposes of this discussion - employers are either “wealthy sociopaths” or agents of the same.

You may find the options they offer to be unacceptable, but what if they didn’t exist? What options available to you if that were the case are not available to you because they do exist?

As far as I can see our current system is beneficial, if only because it allows people additional choices of how to live their lives.
This article gives a great rundown of various UI layer approaches, the problems with each, and how the subsequent ones solved them. I hadn’t seen react-query or its listed alternatives before, so thanks!

The one thing I’m not clear on is how this is much different from the “single global store” approach. It looks like that’s what this approach uses, and the main difference is in the “store API.” In other words, usage from components is nearly identical, and it’s the mechanics of the store itself that is changed. There’s a layer of focused queries between the store and components that hides the access (and maybe update?) mechanics from the widgets. So instead of

getFromStore(“books”, bookId) // pseudocode, I am not a Redux user

you instead use

useBookQuery(bookId) // which includes some nice things like { isLoading, error }

It doesn’t seem to resolve the need to handle the following bullet point found in the store drawbacks, it “just” pushes it into a group of queries (and presumably updates).

> we now have to deal with a completely new concept, the Store, and care about a bunch of new things, such as designing and maintaining Store structure, appropriately updating data in the Store, data normalization, […]

Is this separation the point? Or am I missing something else? Keeping the store access mechanics separated from the widgets that use them makes sense to me, especially when it has built-in loading/error notifications. I was going to say that “widget driven development” doesn’t really point to what this achieves by making that separation, but I may be coming around to the term with those other considerations.

I suggest emphasizing the loading/error mechanics more strongly at the end of the article. React is doing a lot of work with Suspense to improve their ability to give UI feedback in those states, and it looks like this approach simplifies the data side of that.

I don't think that was the author's message at all.

Rather, I think that this post is about balance, and about being emotionally present. He's saying that it should be a constant struggle to balance off things that you care about, because that shows you care. The only way to avoid the struggle is to cease caring, and that means you push something out of your mind that you really should be paying attention to because it's uncomfortable.

I've got plenty of stories about a dad who went the other way - full time househusband, gave up his career entirely soon after my sister and I were born - but they're a bit too personal to share on HN. It's not all roses and sunshine on that side either, though.
Something on the order of 1e4 children aged 0–9 have died from Covid-19 so far, worldwide.

They face ~3 orders of magnitude less risk than elderly people (of whom ~1e7 have died so far), but it is still nontrivial and much higher than the risks from vaccination.

Small kids also spread Covid effectively. There have been a bunch of places with high vaccination rates where there were outbreaks in daycares.

> It has been said [the vaccine] reduces spread, but this is not what you observe

This is what you observe. There have been a large number of studies published examining the effects of vaccination rate on community spread showing that the reproductive number of the virus (at least the original and alpha/delta strains) is significantly depressed by vaccination.

With omicron, vaccine effectiveness vs. initial infection / mild disease is much worse than with previous Covid variants (though it seems that protection vs. severe disease / death is still robust), so we can expect to see significant spread in highly vaccinated areas, but still less and slower than among an unvaccinated population.

Wow. Talk about a great way to fuel a conspiracy theory. Why could they possibly want to wait 75 years to release data on covid? Surely other nations are going to release independent data on the findings?

I found I was getting 6-8k requests a second when returning a random number from Go http endpoint and the same with rendering a simple template on a small VPS.

As a generalization: Video, going back to before the digital era, refers to images recorded on magnetic videotapes, such as VHS or Betamax. This is in contrast with film, which is images recorded using light sensitive silver halide crystals. Video tapes are viewed by scanning the magnetic strips and displaying on a monitor with scan lines. Films are viewed by shining a light through the developed film and displaying the whole image on a reflective screen.
Of course there are other jobs. I've never touched a web developer role, never touched JavaScript, never touched anything that generated html. There is plenty of software in the world. I came out of the Army 8 years ago and the sequence of roles I've done that didn't involve web dev include:

- Algorithmic trading implementation for a boutique hedge fund

- Ground processing for satellite imagery

- Tasking and orchestration of geointelligence product generation suites

- CI/CD pipeline and dev environment internal tooling and automation

- Platform engineering

- Unclassified to classified data scanning and transfer service

- Kubernetes cluster buildout and maintenance automation

All of these involved or still involve distributed systems sending requests and responses across a network, usually using http, but not once have I had to be concerned with executing code in a browser.
> CSAM is just a tool that matches image hashes. It can't make accusations

who validates the source content of the hashes? what stops the government from adding one tiny bitty hash that they know is uniquely present in let's say, assange's phone?
I agree with this, but “work” is an utterly terrible word to use to describe it.
Very interesting, thanks!

Tangential, but I definitely disagree w/ the blog post about the value of multiple cursors vs just macros and rectangle edits, tho. Multiple cursors are just so much easier to work with and get right. You're editing blind when recording a macro, which is tricky, and if you mess up, you have to start over again from zero.
> When I look at a new feature I just think that I will make it shitty or get called out on not doing things the "right" way.

You will likely get called out whichever way you make the decision by people tunnel visioning on one side of the coin. Getting called out doesn't mean the decision was wrong. Your goal should not be that no one calls you out. Rather it should be to be able to say: Yeah I took that drawback into account.

> CTO of a company that is growing like crazy.

Well if the company is growing like crazy then you must be doing a lot of things right?
If someome is pointing a gun at you, it's probably too late to do anything. There should probably be cameras and motion detectors monitoring the perimeter in order to provide early warning.
If your prod environment is hundreds of terabytes then making good dev environments is even more crucial and you can’t run things locally.

If you’re running hundreds of terabytes then the systems in place to shard that data must be well tested.

Migrations must happen on similarly sized data, along with various distributed transaction guarantees because I doubt you’re going to be using dedicated-attached storage for that. And if you do then testing multipath needs to be part of your testing too.

Is it expensive? Yes. But that’s what working with that amount of data costs.

Or is this a strawman intended to stump me, because I have dealt with such “data requirements” before and when they saw the sticker price of doing things properly suddenly those hundreds of terabytes weren’t as “required” anymore.

The last point would be amazing, imo. It's unfortunate that, because of history, commands accept and parse arbitrary strings as input instead of formally specifying it like a function signature + docblock. If I could rewrite the universe, commands would use a central API for specifying the names, data types, descriptions, etc. for all the input they take. In our timeline, maybe some file format could be standardized that describes the particular inputs and options a command takes, and e.g. shells would hook into it. Kind of like header files, but distributed either in a community repository or by each of the tools themselves.
