I'm certainly not a fan of Go, but I suspect generics will result in the language and ecosystem getting better. I'm not personally a fan of the go generics syntax because I find braces and parentheses to be visually similar, but I'm sure that would go away if I used it more.

I'd go for Rust tbh. I think it's a much more coherent language.

I am inferring from your message that some other freelance devs are less conscience-driven than you are. Perhaps that's not what you intended to imply with your statement "my conscience wont allow me..."

If that was your intention though, imagine if another freelance dev has performed justifiable calculations that determine their 3 hours of work should be billed at 2.5x your 3 hour rate. How could they possibly compete with you?

What if the deliverable was the same? What if the other devs just billed on deliverable instead of hours with strong renegotiation clauses? Would that be more acceptable to you than playing games with the hours just to get passed bean counters?

Control-f "child," "children," "pregnancy" -- nothing.

We should think carefully about the tools various cultures use to deal with sex. Ultimately, sex is about children, humans are a species that reproduces sexually. Even if there's no chance of pregnancy, the chemicals and emotions involved are premised on the possibility of pregnancy.

> The first seems to be present in more liberal, hippie-esque communities I’ve been in. In some circles, all the men seem to be satisfied, and all the women seem to have a lot of sex with a lot of people. I’m extremely curious about what are the causal factors of these types of groups. They seem to have solved the problem.

One of the basic functions of a culture or civilization is to reproduce itself through multiple generations. These communities do not last over long periods of time.

Haven't you heard? It's the year of the Linux desktop :)

In all seriousness, until about a year ago when I got a discount on a Macbook and changed to that, I had been running Linux for about a decade across different laptops, and feel that since ~2017 the desktop experience has improved substantially. I bought a new laptop in 2017, installed Ubuntu on it...and that was it. I spent exactly zero minutes installing drivers or mucking with configurations, multiple monitors with HDMI audio worked out of the box, and "going to sleep upon the lid closing" just worked. Granted, I'm a bit of a Linux veteran at this so maybe there were a lot of things I was tweaking that I just don't remember since I do them so often, but I do not think that was the case, since I got my wife (who is not a software engineer) using Ubuntu as well for awhile.

I think part of what made it better was using AMD hardware for everything. The drivers are just included with the kernel, and they work great out of the box, at least for me.

I realize that telling everyone to shop for a computer based on the drivers that will be available isn't exactly a great sales pitch for Linux for the average consumer, but I suspect if you frequent HN you probably have a reasonable ability to differentiate video cards and whatnot.
Nice. Dead simple, costs less than two lattes, might save me from forgetting to throw my phone/AirPods on the charger while working (a regular occurrence...), I've got a watch on the way, I'm sure it'll help a lot with reminding me to charge it too. I got a copy!

I suppose it can't connect with AirPods while they're hanging out in the case?
Perhaps having career bureaucrats isn't exactly the best thing, either. Many people complain about the lack of term limits for congress but most don't seem to have a problem with the byzantine bureaucracy that practically necessitates having these career bureaucrats, who are often the ones implementing _real_ policy. (I.e. the administrative state).
A cool feature of Shamir Secret Sharing Scheme is that it has information-theoretic security[1], just like one-time pads.

In a exaggerated 100-out-of-1000 scheme, even if you steal 99 out of the 100 required shares, you still have zero information. You are better off trying to brute force the value from scratch than trying to use the 99 shares you have.

It's also very simple to implement, making it my favorite algorithm.

> but Windows is considerably better on laptops.

I'll concede that if you're talking about the trackpad, Linux is disappointingly bad compared to Windows. It's really really shaky, scrolls up and down with a shockingly massive jitter. You start to wonder if the trackpad itself is malfunctioning. Sadly, the same trackpad works so much better on Windows.

This is mainly about the pointer / trackpad drivers to be fair, but it's still a freestanding issue that has the potential to really bug someone using Linux on a laptop. It gets so bad I have to carry around a mouse.

Birth control is what holds the whole thing together, that's the implied part that's not usually mentioned. I grant that IQ 145 people can get together and subconsciously arrange an equitable polycule childcare system, and they don't realize why that would be a problem for anyone else. Moving away from exceptional cases, you have what are more or less roomates, and they manage to stay roomates through birth control.

If you're wondering, "what happens to people that have a good gut feeling for fairness, but who aren't smart enough to subconsciously work out how 5 people are going to take care of a child, and who want kids," then the answer is, they are the vast majority of the population and they're not going to fit the non-monogamous system unless massive inequality (see bronze age) forces them there.
If you can get your work done in 10% of the time, great for you! Unless this lack of productivity is due to a lack of motivation that translates across disciplines in your life. Or if it's because you're running away from your work.

If it is due to a lack of motivation, I would recommend WOOP, a science-based way to increase motivation and help people achieve their goals. Meditation, sleep, and exercise are all helpful too of course, as is cognitive-based therapy.

But again, if you're just cruising through your job as a means to an end and you enjoy goofing off on the clock, then I genuinely think all the more power to you. Just make sure that whether you are productive or not is an intentional decision.

In what way should that solve the basic issue? Because women supposedly would be giving out more "sex favors", so their power would be lessened?
> That place speaks to a lot of the fear, frustration, and disappointment that, anecdotally, plague many women's dating lives.

Of course dating is difficult for women. But it's also difficult for men, and that doesn't excuse misogyny.

The obvious conclusion is that there are large groups of both men and women who have very unhealthy and sexist ideas about the opposite gender. How many women on that sub have actually talked to real men about these ideas? "If you wouldn't date a drug addict, don't date a man who watches porn"? Seriously?

Communities like FemaleDatingStrategy are just as bad as incel or MGTOW communities — just a place for sad people to outpour their bitterness and sexism into an echo chamber. Except places like FDS pretend to be feminist, so they get a pass. But they really, really shouldn't, and I hope one day society will see that.
Doing the comparison between South Korea and USA, restricting firearm access look to be increasing suicide rate. Of course this is not true, just an extreme outlier, the point is that cultural differences have a much stronger impact than access to a particular method.
> and "going to sleep upon the lid closing" just worked.

And "not going to sleep upon the lid closing" just works, too! I tried this when I hooked my laptop up to the TV. Closing the lid did nothing. It only went to sleep when you closed it and unplugged the HDMI. I really really liked that, despite it being a tiny detail.
Just to throw my hat in the ring, Currently CTO /founding engineer of health tech company that runs a Rails backend that serves about 150QPS.

I hear over and over that rails doesn’t “scale”.

Performance wise, we have never had a problem scaling rails itself. The issues were always at the database level. Most slow endpoints (1.5s+) are 10% Ruby, 90% Postgres.

Even if Ruby was magically infinitely fast, these endpoints would go from 1.5s -> 1.35s.

Optimizing data infrastructure gets 10x returns compared to the application code.

Maintenance wise, it’s a bit harder, Rails loves to put everything in the global namespace. This comes down to your team being conscious of properly namespacing different logical parts of your app.
I don't see anything that chess.com does better than Lichess except for having more players on the site. Aside from time to start game, which is usually a difference of only a couple seconds unless at high Elo, Lichess is equally good or better in all aspects. I'm not saying Lichess has better puzzles or other such things, but it is 100% equally good, while being free.

>That's not really comparable, these are trivial exploits that can probably be targeted with a 100-line program, or less.

I feel like it would be newsworthy if they were trivial, or we'd see more of them. Today there was a story on malware on Pinephone, a device almost nobody has that didn't cost any money to anyone. If they were trivial, it would be utilized more and we wouldn't need to care about the wayland issues as much since the alternative is worst.

I tried wayland just because of this thread, and I got 2 crashes within minutes.

Part of the problem is that 'the company' accepts this 90% downtime, but managers running standups are paid to maximize productive output of their staff.

So you'd be lying to your managers with the end goal of behaving as the company expects you to.

This kind of internal tension is normal in lots of organizational structures. It's better if no one has to lie but it isn't (in my opinion) a disaster or anything.
The problem is that the framing of male lust as a fixed constraint to be satisfied screens off a lot of hypotheses. For example:

* Maybe societal beauty standards are causing people to have unrealistically high expectations, thus shrinking the dating pool and making it harder to satisfy everyone.

* Maybe the average male lust has been artificially increased by something (porn? waifu gacha games?) and needs to be brought back down.

* Maybe female lust has been artificially suppressed by something (I’ll refrain from speculating on what), and matching will work out if it’s brought back up.
Whereas men have simply been killed in droves. Are you sure women had the worse part throughout history, or do you just not care about the fate of men?
Just curious, but what career did you switch to? Also, congrats on finding more happiness :)
In practice though, 15–30 year-old single women get much more romantic attention than e.g. 45–60 year-old single women do. Some older women miss the kind of attention they used to get when they were younger (while some are indifferent, and some are relieved).

Many young men feel rejected/alienated. By age 35 or 40 men have often figured their life out (figured out what they want, found a partner, become more effective at approaching people, whatever).

I haven’t heard any men in their 30s or 40s mention that they aren’t being chased around by eager suitors the way they used to be. And I haven’t heard any women in their 20s complain that they can’t get a date however hard they try.

OkCupid is one of those dating sites that have a high bar to entry (you need to invest a lot of time in just creating your profile), so that people who are there are looking for serious relationships.

If you did the same analysis for Tinder you would probably see that guys 35+ do message girls under 21 years old A LOT, but that isn't meant to last, both sides are typically just looking for casual sex.

I love being able to bike around, whip out a fold up bluetooth keyboard & small phone mount, & hack away whenever I feel like it. Most rides I don't do anything. But being able to, whenever inspiration strikes, start coding is amazing. My phone has superb DPI, and it's well positioned at eye level, closer to my face than a laptop screen; I hardly lose any capability with this ultra-easy-packing on-the-go setup.

The biggest problem is that I haven't figured out how to remap caps-lock to control/escape on Android, but I'm hoping someday to have a real Linux/FreeDesktop phone.

Also see yesterday's article from replit[1], on different code editors. It talks a lot about who uses code editors & how much happier their mobile users are with some editors over others. Do you learn dev topics on your mobile? Wouldn't you like those learnings to be more interactive, not just static blog posts & articles? Things you can experiment with? Sounds great to me. Ok, so we'll need mobile capable editors. Or perhaps it's just that your family just can't afford a PC for you. It feels like your experience of not having tried implies that you think we shouldn't care, that this is irrelevant; I'd challenge us to keep an open mind. To think of the possibilities & uses broadly. To be welcoming & excited.

Ask HN: Upgrade from Windows 10 to Linux instead of Windows 11?
Hi HN,

Should I upgrade my development and business workstation from Windows 10 to Linux (instead of upgrading to Windows 11)?

I'm extremely intimidated in taking the leap. I'm very familiar with Linux without a UI, and feel very comfortable with managing linux servers. I setup and run a cluster of RHEL servers for a private-cloud OpenStack deployment (kvm hypervisor). Familiar with apache web servers, and I run my own Asterisk PBX phone system, and have in the past done my own email server. Networking, iptables, etc.

But I've never used Linux in a desktop UI environment. Ever. Always been an MS Windows guy. But Windows 11?

I think my biggest fear are driver issues and having to convert a ton of files over to new formats for things I use to run my business. (Lots of MS Excel files for example). I use Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook, Excel) and Microsoft Visual Studio (F# Development) heavily. Excel is my biggest worry. And fighting with driver issues.

I'm familiar mostly with RHEL (CentOS, and I guess now "Rocky Linux").

Anyone here convert from Windows to Linux? What kind of issues did you run into? Should I do it?

Perhaps most importantly: Which Linux distro should I choose, and which desktop environment?

-AMD Ryzen Threadripper 2950X 16-Core 3.50 GHz

-Aorus X399 XTreme EATX TR4

-128GB RAM

-NVIDEO GeForce RTX 2080 (Gigabyte)

I'm saying that if you're trying to understand dynamics of power and sex and your conclusion is that the big issues are men are traumatized because nobody liked them as teens and older women ask for too much, you're so far off the mark from the real world that there's no point in trying to explain the disconnect. My comment wasn't to educate anyone, just a beacon for anyone else who is disheartened by the collective psyche of the folks who post about women on HN.

None of this is disputing the broad gendered trends in "sexual value" (ew) by the way - aging is social hell for women as far as I can tell.

Ok, maybe a better way to say it is that having teams independently develop services is a good way to reduce the coordination tax if you have high coordination costs. If your environment doesn't have that problem I guess this doesn't apply.

Coordination between engineers was a frequent activity everywhere I've been regardless of how well built the systems were. For example: a new requirement for the customers signing up in a given country to have features X, Y, and Z enabled. In a large organization there are probably a few teams that will be involved that make that happen. The question is how to coordinate them.

Many companies try to solve it with top-down decision making, prioritizing certainty but hampering productivity (some teams have to wait) and strictly limiting risky innovation (nothing can be done without approval).

Independent teams (each developing independent services and acting without top-down approval) is a different way to coordinate development that values productivity (keeping everyone unblocked) and innovation (finding better ways of doing things).

> You have to invest a bit in tooling and recommended patterns to keep things from going crazy, but you kind of need to do that either way.

Aha, here's a difference. If we're talking about the same things, common tools and patterns don't need to be enforced. Independent teams can pursue very different patterns without needing to agree with each other. This is a big advantage if you don't like being told what to do by people who are pretty remote to the problem you're solving. Different people react differently to that. Netflix teams tended to be staffed with very experienced and skilled people (no junior or mid level positions) so there wasn't much value in one engineer dictating architecture, patterns, or tooling to another. Nearly all tooling was opt-in, and the good tools were the de facto standards. But if you came up with a better tool or pattern, you had the freedom to try it out. This is how independence fostered innovation, and why microservices were useful in such an environment.
It is a limitation, i4 is an upper limit what you can put in it, and a 300kw i4 will vibrate itself to pieces in prolonged use.
