Electron is amazing for developers; less so for the end users.

You get faster iteration and more features at the cost of humongous system resource usage. Running several Electron applications, each with their own slightly-outdated Chrome engine, is terrible for battery life and available system resources, but you do get fully-featured applications in no time.

If your users run 32GiB of RAM and at least 8 cores, then Electron should probably be the obvious choice of platform. For most applications, though, I don't think this approach is necessary or even a good idea.
I liked the Gom Jabar Scene, the pain box part that is, a little bit better in David Lynch's adoption. Jessica's despair about this whole thing was done better by Villeneuve, if you ask me.

If they pull of at least one more book, or even two, this will be on par with LotR if not a tad better. If the team can keep the level, that is.

I did like the original Dune movie a lot, one of the most under-valued films.
Don't work in FAANG but have worked (and work) for semi-global and global tech companies: it's always the case that new hires 2 years later get a higher starting salary than most of the seasoned staff.

I don't understand why tech companies keep doing this but it's a constant in my life, you get hired with a pretty decent salary, 2 years down the line and with a lot more subject matter knowledge and your salary is now lower than the new hire on the same level as you. It just creates churn, my previous employer was so guilty of this that employees started an anonymous spreadsheet for people to input: current level, years in the company, current salary. With that we concluded that it was a general practice that new people were being paid more than experienced ones, it got to a point where the company had to give raises across the board to level up salaries, I got a retroactive 15% raise after I had put my notice already.

It is a shitshow, it alienates and punishes people like me, that really don't enjoy jumping jobs every 2 years just to get a raise, I like to get expertise until I become comfortable with my work environment and subject matter knowledge, that's when I'm most productive.
Yet the word was coined. It didn’t exist before. Then it was coined. Sure the made up BS that is meritocracy existed before. Which is the main point. It’s a BS status quo term for something that does not exist.
oh ok so yeah, I'm hoping people can continue to write the standard Win32 apps. They can be quite quick. The OP gave me the impression that Win32 was gone. Who cares about the Metro or whatever they have now look. Yuck.

Hi, I'm a real English person, from England (not from London) . I totally agree about all of this, and all of the sentiments expressed by Salvatore.
We say that "English is easy to learn, but hard to master" and I often wonder how people in the world manage to learn it and speak with confidence when using it, they have my admiration and respect.

I have an opposite (but complimentary) perspective to Salvatore, since I spent a few years living in Europe as the only English person amongst my colleagues and friends.

At the start of this period, I quickly learned that no one could understand me. My pleasantries and greetings were met with confusion no matter how slowly I spoke, even to American colleagues. I realised that the English language I had learned was only applicable to the immediate area where I had grown up. This is true of most regions in the UK, you can travel 20 miles from any location on a map in Britain and find the local people speaking in different and sometimes incomprehensible dialects and accents, or using strange words to describe people (like "duckie" or "hen").

I quickly learned to modulate my accent, speak slower and more deliberately.

In later life I moved back to the area from where I grew up and, although people could easily understand me, they often asked me where I came from (since my modulated accent was unfamiliar to them).

Now I have "two modes", one is my incomprehensible native drawl, and the other is much easier to understand and clearer but requires me to concentrate much more.

The difference between these two modes (for me) is that it is much easier to be jovial and extroverted in my native drawl. Whereas I'm much more professional and uptight when using my modulated language, even in social settings.

I now grimace, and even translate, when English colleagues are speaking to non-native English speakers and make zero attempt to improve their use of the language. I wonder how they interact with people when on holiday, do they just shout louder and point at things? How embarrassing.
Dealing with Needlephobia Using Machine Learning
> There's one negative side effect I've noticed - I feel less smart than before. I'm not sure if it's a real thing or not, but I feel I can't fully express myself in English. I consider myself quite a fluent speaker, but my vocabulary is still quite limited compared to my native language. It's enough for 99% of the conversation I have, but whenever I say or think something, I have this feeling that I lack words to precisely express what I want.

I've got the very same problem. The frustration at the lack of precision of my communication is what kills me.

I suspect it's perception only and caused by the fact that my native language has more expressive grammar that allows entire "She would have gone" sentence be expressed as a single word - a conjugated verb - and include 100% of the information of the one in English.

Also 15 years ago (that’s 2004) the UIs weren’t that different and were no longer the beige UIs of the 90s we’re discussing here. As for using super early windows being easier than modern day I disagree if they were only doing the exact same things I don’t see how it’s harder today. The thing is people use their PCs for a ton more stuff today than they did during say windows 3.1
Oh ok thats good. The OP gave me the opposite impression. Other than the boutique software companies that specialize in a few Mac apps, I don't see as much Cocoa anymore and thats a shame.
I'm a US native and have worked many years overseas. When I'm back in the US, people tell me that my speech has the distinctive character of someone who is accustomed to speaking with non-native speakers. I think the main differences are more careful enunciation and more carefully structured utterances.
I don't know about world changing but it's saved me hundreds of hours. I use it to help read academic papers, put formatting on things like markdown and subtitles, and creative writing. A lot of the things that take it 15 seconds to do take me 2 minute and drain me mentally for about 15 mins.

If anything, it's being used in force for social media marketing, where you're trying to say "buy this thing" in different ways every day.
"I still miss the crisp lines and clear affordances of actual buttons and other elements of that time..."

If you go into System Preferences > Accessibility > Display and turn "Increase contrast" on, it adds clear lines around almost everything, which is the closest I've found to that. I tried it for a while, but I found it too harsh in the end. It would be nice to have a setting which was inbetween the two extremes.

Ask HN: Is 'Code Kingdoms' Ok?

Apparently they teach kids to code via minecraft and roblox. Anyone used it? Is it ok / a scam / worthwhile? Tx!
For classic backend server software, for years I found the best way in was to look at the database schema, to understand those relationships, and then to see how the software itself was segmented (or not) in its relationship with the different parts of the database. If it was easy to understand the segments, and their relationship to the database, then I could assume that the software had good module interfaces with clean separation, but if every module was a mix using data from the same database tables, then I assumed I was dealing with a problematic code base that lacked good clean interfaces.

When dealing with frontend code, my attitude remained the same, but instead of looking at the database, I'm typically looking at the API. The goal is to see how data flows through the app. That is certainly one way, for understanding the code. This used to be easier, with classic RESTful APIs, I find this approach is a bit more difficult when using GraphQL.

Also, just to state the obvious, run the unit tests. If the code base lacks good test coverage, ask if you can start there, writing more tests -- that will give you a purpose and a structured way of diving into the code. I also suggest that you deliberately break things, and then see which tests fail -- if a test fails and you weren't expecting it to fail, then you just discovered a linkage in the code that you didn't think would be there.
vi-style editing is fast only if one can touch-type. If not, it is not faster. Its plus is the consistency of keybindings across platforms, but even then on international keyboard layouts it is not ideal (or just bad) and requires a lot of customization which may be highly non-trivial in vim modes for various IDEs.

So if one already uses vim, then sure vim-mode in IDE is nice to have, but if not, I suggest not to bother.

The main reason to make a search engine Browser is because browsers, and specially Chrome are very aggressive against search engine extentions (chrome insists in warning users their search engine changed). Also, search engines pay a fat share of revenue to browser vendors in "default search engine" partnerships.
All joking aside (hah, hah) if they insisted on hearing a joke, I'd probably tell this one just to keep things moving along:

An electrical engineer, a mechanical engineer, and a Microsoft software engineer were in a car driving to a conference together. Going down a hill, the brakes went out and the car crashed into a tree at the bottom. Luckily no one was hurt, so they get out and start trying to figure out what happened. The mechanical engineer says "I think a brake line was over-pressured and burst, letting all the brake fluid out and that's what caused the brakes to fail." The electrical engineer thinks for a minute and says "No, it was probably a short-circuit in the anti-lock braking system." The Microsoft guy doesn't say anything for a minute, so one of them asks him what he thinks. He says "I don't know, but let's push the car back to the top of the hill and try again."
I work in the south, still I doubt whether anyone says "beer" with the same "ee" sounds as in "één" or "been", right?

"What annoys me most about Dutch are the stupid doubling of consonants and removing of vowel rules. Why is it boom/bomen, bom/bommen? Just remove both rules and write boom/boomen, bom/bomen.", Yeah, for sure, I feel like we need a reset and just remove all the stupidness for the next generation, too much time in school is wasted on this bs. Oh, while we are at it, lets teach them to say 121 as "honderd-twintig-één" (like the English) so we don't have to teach them to first pronounce the first digit, then the last, then the middle. I never thought much about how stupid this is until I got kids.

I think that was a good ask. I automatically adapted my vocabulary to match my wife's as English isn't her native language (I tend to do that subconsciously in general irrespective of language or who I am speaking to). Over the years, we (again subconsciously) developed more constructs using this limited vocabulary mixed with words/phrases from her native language - so now we almost have our own dialect. However, since then her interactions with other highly proficient English speakers has increased and now she feels that my adjustments were actually a hindrance towards her English proficiency. I try to counter that by saying that this fluency of communication, as impure as it might be, has contributed to our relationship but I know that she has a valid point.
I think the bigger problem is "preparing to hatch." Rocks don't hatch. It would have to still be alive to hatch.

I agree but I can't help feeling like this anecdote kind of reinforces my first point. I don't believe we should be quite so speed limit obsessed. I think we should be able to keep our eyes on the road and all drive to the capabilities of our vehicles under the conditions. German autobahns have demonstrated this can work (if you have a decent road system).

We shouldn't be getting tired from checking the spedometer, we should be getting tired from driving, and when we are tired we should be stopping.
> But in some places, fossils do in fact form, as evidenced by the fact that we have fossils.

Yes :) But you realise you are accepting what you are told to say that?

Are there any other possibilities though, to explain what we see as fossils? Is it possible that these photos are faked, or that the fossils themselves are faked? Or that they are real skeletons, but the story around them is wrong? Eg perhaps the fish was placed on the wall last year, and that is the mark it left.

I think it is clear that there are other possibilities. I think I can also make a case for them being more plausible than the story.

Regardless, we will not gain knowledge by accepting what we are told unconditionally - we should be personally verifying. Unless we have personally verified something, we cannot say "I know". We can I can say "I read" or "I believe" or "it is my hypothesis that". But it is not possible to truthfully say "I know".
So you receive two clear and (at least to me as a non native speaker) straight emails aboit being not compliant. Looks like you changed the title after the first one to something that also was non compliant.

I actually can't see any reason to side with you on this matter. This is so clear cut. The mails, the documentation and the fact that Google warned in both cases. You already compounded two strikes and now complain about the third.
As someone who has worked for years on a UI consuming such information: it's bloody difficult. Each language has its own weirdnesses, you almost always have to build the code to figure out the cross references, and what's correct to the compiler is often non-intuitive to the user. Prime example: C++ code mixing macros and templates. There isn't even a good definition of what the definition is!

What is the central message of "zero fucks given"?

I have seen it, and am unmoved.

I am not at all surprised there seems to be a high correlation with phraseology involving testicles/genitalia and the message of having more important things to attend to.

Much more interesting is the variance in terms of how some of these turns of phrase are associated with (the speaker|something else in the world|some situation in the world) as subject.

I'd go on, but I'd have to deposit 25 fucks for the next five minutes, and I'm fresh out.

Yes, but I think the point is that trying to record a standardised version of something that has not yet been codified through that process is going to inevitably be somewhat approximate at best.

Latin was never a static language, the changes from the empire to the new latin of the church were substantial. I know too little about it, but the study of how latin affected the languages around the empire is still active today when studying old texts and trying to place them in a context. A similar effect can be seen by english culture today.

There's a setting to "show shapes of toolbar buttons" or whatever it's called in English. It adds 1px faint grey lines around them. I turned it on the day I got my M1 mac.

I think the title is fine but they are right I will be seeing this article shared on Facebook in a day or so and people will assume they mean it was preserved as an organism not turned into a rock. I knew what they meant from the title and I’m sure so will most intellectually inclined individuals but there is a huge market of people who eat up pop sci (or their titles at least) articles and it perpetuates fake science even if the article isn’t actually doing that.

It’s basically like those articles that say “scientist proves existence of higher dimensions” where everyone who tends to read scientific literature figures they mean “has solved some physics equation using 4 dimensions instead of 3” but the majority who see it only through popsci articles and groups think the scientist has found physical evidence of another universe.
Can't wait to find out. The current state is missery.
You didn’t, but millions of people when they see the headline on social media. Still don’t think it’s a bad title though, just would be nice if we could guarantee people read the actual articles when we know most don’t.
> The egg would have been buried, sat for a long time to fossilize (>10K years), and over a much longer period that sediment turned to rock. Why must the fossil, which is a rock by this point, change its shape?

Do you really believe that an egg can sit in mud for 10,000 years and not degrade?

> The formation preserves dinosaur bones and eggs, and fossil plants

It sounds like we have a genuine slice of pre-history. If they had said that they had preserved an insect being eaten by a chick being eaten by a dinosaur - ie 3-in-1 - would you believe that too? At what point do you try to establish your understanding with information that aligns to your experience?

>> it would still be so much less dense than the matter around it
> You do not understand what fossilization means. By this time the original materials of the egg have been replaced by minerals, preserving the form, but not the original density.

An egg is mainly fluid, right? From what you say, you seem to think that the fluid would a/ stay in the egg for 10,000 years and then b/ be converted to solid stone. Is this really a plausible argument?

You provide an example of how much trust there is in the purported authoritative sources, even though they are impossible to believe.

If I said to you I had a 20 year old egg, that I had preserved on my bookcase, that it still had liquid in it - you would think we a fool or a liar. But a 10,000 year old egg in mud? No problem!
There is a reason that in construction, the architect and the structural engineer are separate roles. From what I've seen in software dev, it cannot be considered engineering until a similar division is normalized, mandated and legally required. It's easy to shove things into production, too easy.
If you don't take the norm, you're essentially not making a "measurement" and then QM is linear and simple. It's also non-predictive of reality :)

Probably because they are established intelligence iconography. It goes further than that though, lightning bolts and crows are also common and all have specific meaning. Now the original imagery may have been chosen because it was chosen by geeks but its used nowadays because it has meaning.
