- Re WiFi: it's not specific to Framework, and are just bugs in Intel's Linux driver. See bug (and workaround and patches) in my report https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214693 as well as forum discussion https://community.frame.work/t/using-the-ax210-with-linux-on...

- Re battery: Yup, battery life during sleep sucks, it seems like this is mostly an Intel 11th gen issue as S3 sleep went away and folks on Dell, Lenovo, etc., 11th gen hardware have similar issues.

- Re Fan: it does seem to like to ramp up a bit too much even when components are not really that hot yet.

- Re USB-C: have not used that, so cannot comment

- Re build quality: yes, it is a bit flimsier than I would like (though have definitely used laptops that are way worse), but it is also lighter than competitors that are less so. I am mostly okay with that trade-off, others may not be.

As you say, the company has been responsive and helpful on the community forums in a way the big players never have been, and the BIOS updates are fixing genuine issues and complaints with real release notes. It's not all great for sure, but there's lots of things that are a lot better than competitors.
I liked the article, but I think you really need to be concious of the terrible performances of uuidv4. ULID is better but not perfect either.
My goto article on the subject is https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/sequential-uuid-generato...
And remember, if an article has a question in its title, the answer is always: "No."
> I’m hearing US citizens have become “practically ungovernable.”

The OP article, IMHO, smells a bit like misinformation. There are interests (especially in the US) which want to see a never-ending stream outsourcing to "low-cost centers". Stuff like the article provides fodder for that point of view by painting a false picture that americans can't measure up.
We don't use Low or No Code solutions at work, but I wish we did. There's tons of automations we could do, however, because everything has to be a proper app with a proper deployment, etc, its a big job. I hope that Low/No Code solutions make it easier for a wide range of people to automate their jobs. I expect this will be accelerated with the next generation being more tech savvy.

We're already seeing similar parallel in Finance with End User Computing[0] where non-developers (traders, etc) are using tools like Python, Jupyter, etc as part of their jobs.

I don't ever see it replacing developers though. Maybe if your entire job is workflow automation, sure, but developers will focus on solutions that are difficult to do with Low/No Code tools.

It's definitely 'a' future, in that there's no good reason why it would go away. It'll get better and better, but there'll always be something it can't do well.

For me, the key to a no-code solution is that it provides an escape hatch into code when necessary. If I have that, the no-code stuff is actually really nice.
Seriously: try to focus on the content of the article instead of on the delivery, that would be much more productive.
Blacklisting BitWarden in the clipboard manager. If I copied from another app, it's four extra keystrokes to paste and delete: Cmd+V -> Cmd+Shift+V -> Cmd+Delete -> Esc.
Huge amounts of analysis and data-recording happen with people juggling spreadsheets, because they are easier for 'business/finance' people to learn how to use them vs. coding and databases.

I think there is huge potential for improved spreadsheets, either with generic things such as greater scalability/ability to schedule reports or with inbuilt capability for common tasks for specific industries.
I agree the one interaction is not enough to embargo the whole project. If it works for you, great! I even find the work they’re doing with rust technically interesting. However, the damn thing just not working AND that interaction (not me in screenshot) really put me over the edge after a night of trying and failing to get my app to build + run.
Leetcode is basically an IQ test in disguise (since the actual IQ tests are illegal in the US). And yes, it helps to hire people with high IQ, although you still need to evaluate their real-life knowledge and experience.
The problem is that 'team fit' can often be a synomymn for 'someone like me'.

If there are particular attributes that you want to hire for, those should be in the job/person spec and candidates should be assessed against them.
I've always found this fight for search choice on iOS to be bad for Apple. If they had to give a choice for search engine on setup or make it easy to switch the default, 99.99% of people would still choose Google and Apple would lose $BB. I agree that Google results have gotten worse over the last 5 years or so but we have to remember that they aren't optimizing for usefulness, they are optimizing for profit.
I don't have mine plugged into anything while it's sleeping.

The only thing I can think of could be if the port pieces, which are essentially form-fitted dongles plugged into USB-C ports in the laptop, are causing the problem even if nothing is plugged into them?
At the point of initial candidate filtration (competence, qualification) that doesn’t matter. Not at all. Save the signal bits for after qualification against a baseline is affirmed. That is the only way to move past bias and be objective.
Testing on ~~Chrome~~ Firefox would save you from accidentally using Chrome-only features, but that's only part of the problem, caniuse.com kinda works better for that as you get data about other browsers too.

Hm … not the internet at large but weren’t there cases of a subway system or other dense area in the US suddenly having no cell service during a protest? I remember reading stories about this.
Not very easily: the capital expenditure required to build, say, an aluminum smelter (which is how Iceland converts excess geothermal into cash) is orders of magnitude more than some crypto rigs.
I have always found it problematic that on mobile safari you cannot change search providers. They have a small list to choose from (bing, yahoo, duckduckgo, google). but no way to add anything else. You have to jailbreak the device just to add a different search provider. This seems anticompetitive IMO.

You can't. Humans are lazy and working within constraints requires discipline and effort. Waste expands to fill the available space. The only thing that made old software efficient is that it wouldn't run if it wasn't efficient enough. And BTW there was crappy old software that made your computer chug back then too, it just looks better now because computers have gotten so much faster that apps can be a lot sloppier before users notice.
You can still create a FAQ. Discord is a great way to know what are the frequently asked questions.
Agree with that, in that rewriting should include deciding which notes are worth just leaving as is, so that what you rewrite reflects what is still relevant and that will usually as you say be a very small percentage of the whole.

Rewriting to me also seems to reduce the need to refer back to the notes even further, because it effectively acts as a revision also for the notes I decide are not worth summarising, and the few bits that might still be beneficial gets carried along in the rewritten summaries.
I wana see the speed run on this.

I've got it down to 3mins if I rush orientation followed by position. I'm convinced this can be pushed further if you have the coordination to combine it.

[edit] 2:30 combined with some exciting drama at the end

[edit] 1:40 combining pitch & yaw & forward-thrust, followed by roll while accel/decel (because doesn't affect approach), finally eyeballing Y and Z and monitoring X reading for reverse thrust (because eyes suck at distance estimation)

[edit] 1:30 with a ~50% chance of becoming a space station projectile, am I hired?

[edit] 1:24 with a 90% chance of becoming tomato puree

[edit]

Found this 00:23 seconds, but they seem to be able to accelerate and decelerate much faster than I can, maybe I need to tweak key repeat and delay times to achieve this.

I don't use Airbnb much, but last time I tried to it was highly recommended to upload a profile photo and they required me to upload a pic of my id. The impression I got was that hosts were looking at the profile picture and choosing who to accept as a guest.

Maybe my experience was rare or I misunderstood the situation. But this seemed way more conducive to racism than full names.
Support (native) in DBs and in libraries is currently the only disadvantage I have found using ULIDs for a while now. But adding a single library to generate ULIDs (front & back end) seems to be good enough for now.
That's right. There is some more coverage also here (a different hacker news...): https://amp.thehackernews.com/thn/2022/01/researchers-uncove...
This is done at a satellite level nowadays rather than fixed-wing aircraft. Microsoft/Bing did this as well and ended up spinning off their aerial collection division for that same reason, not too long after this article was published.

There's just not a huge demand for higher quality imagery by the general public, and those industries who do need higher quality/georeferenced imagery are willing to pay for it.
Actually, making it illegal - while not a panacea - is actually quite useful.
QA writing unit tests for devs is not “traditional” - it’s a signal to leave the place ASAP.

As an engineer, you’re expected to write, review, and test code. We simply shuffle responsibilities such that you usually test other engineers’ code and not your own (there is some discretion involved - for very small changes we often write or tweak the test ourselves)
I still think no one has fully crack the low code / no code tools on the Web. You cant have a No Code solution that doesn't offer Low Code function. And you cant have a Low Code solution that you cant expand to Full Stack Code.

Think of it like Game Engine, where you could make games with editors, and then you add some code, all the way to some AA Games ( May be not AAA ).

May be a better example for the Web would be something like Yahoo Pipes.
The questions you are asking are fundamental to the legal system - they are not specific to antitrust laws.

All cases must have standing (a damaged party) and must demonstrate damage.

This is first year law stuff. Without these requirements, anyone could sue anyone for all sorts of made up baloney - and the suits themselves would be the punitive.
Nobody really cares if a train is on-time. They care about the consequences of being late wherever it is they have to go. If transportation is generally unreliable across an entire country, then appointment times will be lax, nobody will be fired for being a few minutes late, your date won't decide they don't like you, etc. It's all about the surrounding expectations and how other people will treat you because of them. If Western European countries also had a culture of no hard timelines and schedules only being suggestions, then people who lived there wouldn't get stressed over a late train.
Yes, but this is my point.

> ...for example my somewhat simple app uses ~120MB

> But only ~5MB is the actual tauri/rust process, the rest is WebView2.

So, if 60MB is a large download, surely a simple app using 120MB of ram is pretty outrageous too?

> There is no reason why hello world UI should be 60MB.

Absolutely, but you can't have everything. Fast. Small. Doesn't use any memory. Easy to develop for. Free. Consistent cross platform behaviour.

You can't have them all.

So... the question isn't "is 60MB ok?"

The question is: What do you care about the most? Is it really the download size?

It's not the download size for me.
Startup ONE fitted a battery in a Model S that can delivery 752miles autonomy
Right, I have to agree. Automatic cars are a good example.
As a foreigner, reading German is tricky enough without having to bother with the gender police (on either side of that argument), the text was clear to me, which is what matters.
Mines operate 24/7 with 12 hour shifts. Many build and run their own infrastructure, including power plants.
That way they can charge you to get on the list!

China has screwed up a lot with the messaging behind their regulations on tech companies, but the spirit of promoting competition from them was good.

Competitive markets are more important than free markets for positive societal outcomes.
"Dust Circular Display Top"

Wow
I would say that 75% of applications companies build for themselves could be replaced with a spreadsheet.
Relational Databases are essentially no-code replacements for b-trees. I have worked in several companies where the managers could not do any coding, but could wipe out an SQL query to get some data point they needed. Heck building an UI that generates SQL queries for you based on some DB schema isn't even that hard. Relational databases removed the need for most b-tree and binary-streams manipulation coders in the 90s yet the demand for all types of coders (even b-tree and binary-streams coding!) only increased

As tools evolve programmers get exponentially more productive, but they will still be coding. They might be coding different things though because what we do today can now be done by a tool

People point UI work will be replaced, I actually highly doubt that, unless there is an standardisation of UI-toolkit like we used to have in the windows 98 days (which seems incredibly unlikely). Remember Delphi and Visual Basic? Sure there was code in there, but very rarely did you need actually need to write UI-code like animating a text box around, most of it was business logic code

If anything the UI landscape is changing to be more custom for each app instead of consolidating. I expect UI coding will look very different in the future though, more focused on unique user interactions and animations instead of API calls and Form glue code
Product Manager here.

This is about customer obsession, relentlessly following the needs of our audience. I know the engineers are always complaining that without vegetables we'll create significant tech debt but there's no time for that right now. Maybe next quarter. The customer wants desert and the customer should get it.

While I admit this current strategy does not directly lead to a health business, we're aiming for scale right now and scale up is what we're gonna do. Did I mention that "stick things in the outlets" is coming next quarter?
Number one quality for remote working
Sounds like a frustrated open source maintainer who has had to handhold users and perhaps isn't terribly good at it.

Does that speak to technical competence of the project? Not sure. This seems pretty mild compared to Linus Torvalds' infamous excoriations.

That said, I would hope the maintainers and devs would spend time reviewing issues to become familiar with the feedback, at a minimum.

I for one want a faster Electron, and Rust sounds like a great way to get there.
I have the 14 pro and it is spookily quiet. Even when being at full load. Though perhaps after many years of dust accumulation this may change over the air.
However I watched some tests of the M1 max on YouTube and it does seems like this one can get noisy
As someone that does interviewing, I am not looking for one specific “right” answer. Acknowledging the time constraint and pressure of an interview, I find it acceptable to get non-optimal solutions. As long as they’re able to come up with a reasonable solution and can recognize it as being non-optimal, and offer ideas for how to optimize it outside of an interview setting.

I’m not sure how common this way of thinking is, but I wanted to point it out since many of the comments here make it sound like only the best answer will do.
And once you've built it, you have to have the aluminum ore shipped to you, and get the processed aluminum shipped to the world market.

A BTC mine fits into a few shipping containers, needs no in-out logistics, and can easily be transported around as needed
Well, some places are making education illegal so that is problematic too. I think the way you get rid of racism is always just via exposure. It is easy to hate group X when you don't know any X or are never in contact with them. People are always afraid of the unknown and they fill in the blanks in the worst possible way when there is no data.
HTML and CSS are probably the best tools for styling, layout and accessibility. Compared to other UI platforms though, their built-in controls are missing, limited, and inconsistent between browsers. See https://open-ui.org/ for an example of what controls could be improved and added.
This sounds really solid on paper. High resolution, high refresh OLED panels and convenient inside-out tracking paired with the high performance of the PS5 at a yet-to-be-announced mass-market price.

The only drawback in my view is the single remaining USB-C cable.

Perhaps the successor of the excellent PS Vita will one day be a pair of standalone VR or AR glasses to compete with the evil Meta empire. ;-)
It has been almost 4 decades.

China now emits almost twice as much greenhouse gas as the United States.

What Sagan predicted 40 years ago came true. “Even if the United States and Russia…”

We’ve essentially squandered half a century.
One of my first bullies (around 7-9 yo, I think?) was my “best friend” at the time. As an adult I suspect he just singled me out and I wouldn’t have known any better. Social pressure may have contributed there too. He would grow his fingernails out, sharpen them to points, and dig them into my hands until I bled on the playground.

I vehemently support homeschool. The homeschooled adults I met in both college and in professional work are some of the best able to actually deal with reality. They’re not perfect and can be downright unaware, but that’s going to be true of anything. The bullying out there overrides any benefits.
Tangentially related: I watched YouTube videos where some dude builds stuff* in his garage using various tools and substances, and I can't help but wonder, where can I learn this thing?

To paraphrase: How/where do I start, as software engineer, to learn hardware, but not necessarily "computer" hardware?

*Not only limited to woodworking, they also build contraptions of some sort.
I don't think you're talking about the same thing the person I replied to is.
I'm sitting at my desk using emacs in a terminal, running tests using "^X^E" via 'make', and seeing the results beside my code -- literally exactly like I did in 1987. It was "Gosling Emacs" then, and "cc" on a shared VAX-11/780 instead of Rust, Python, Nix, on a 16-core Xeon, etc.

Still the most productive programming environment that I know of.
> disable secure boot, then the battery doesn’t get drained anymore when the lid is closed

Do you have a link to further elaboration and testing on this? Seems strange, and searching the forums is a bit difficult since the two terms get mentioned together a lot.
I always do first interviews with cameras off, partially for this reason. Not only does it remove opportunity for bias, but it lets both of us focus on what is relevant to the discussion.

I wouldn't go as far as what you're suggesting though, because verbal communication skills, etc, are a relevant skill for the job.
You mean like the ignition system which is over 20,000 volts?

Moving parts that can chop off digits, deglove limbs, descalp, break limbs when clothing is caught and wrapped into them?

Hydraulic hoses with enough pressure that a leak can cause injection injuries, which can be fatal?

Pressurized coolant systems well over boiling that can severely burn a significant portion of the skin on your torso if opened, because many car companies use caps that completely release at a certain point, allowing them to blow off and gallons of coolant to come out?

You won't find high voltage anywhere on an EV except in the battery pack until the vehicle is switched on and the drivetrain computer closes the high voltage contactor inside the battery pack. Ie: you could literally jam two steak knives in to the HV connector on an EV battery pack and lick them, and the only thing that would happen is that you'd cut your tongue.

Every EV has very clear instructions and procedures for how to physically lock out the HV system for service. On many, it's a physical plug you pull.

God, I wish HNers would not talk about subjects they know nothing about.
Surely there is no escape from solipsism but since it's all-encompassing then how much actual value does it provide?

I mean, we can annotate every observation and every thought ever with "for all we know it could be just an illusion" and live as if we were constantly being tricked by a deceitful daemon Descartes-style but why should we do it, what is there to gain?

I could agree that monism / strict materialism is as baseless as any other view but I think its terseness deserves a bit more respect than being called "comical", if only for the sake of its elegance.

It's trivial to provide a longer description / a more complicated model of reality that will have as much explanatory power as a simpler one.
It's much more challenging to find a shorter / simpler one that will work just as well.

Yes, I am aware that my assumption that challenging things are somehow more commendable than non-challenging things is completely baseless too :)
Yep, this was the limiting factor in doing anything.

Not being able to get information, and not having anyone to communicate to about problems (as in stackexchange now.. where you're able to ask a specific problem, and someone from the other side of the globe can answer in a matter of minutes).

Also, hadware was really limiting... which i kinda wish was still a fact for web developers, but we're too far for that, sadly.
This has reminded me of the movie American Factory (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9351980/).
This is a discussion about hiring practices being under scrutiny because people are forcing an unnecessary kind of screen into them that doesn’t help a company.

This process lacks inspiration. Even following a company’s “false positives are worse than false negatives so we don’t care that experienced people can’t pass” logic, leetcoding doesn’t help with that. So a third unknown process needs to be done instead.

The simple reality is that there is alot to build, in this sector. People can slave away preparing themselves for a lower paying job with higher requirements, and that has nothing to do with whether this sector pays alot now or 10x more in the future. The market is saying what to do. Hiring practices are hampering the market efficiency. Full stop.
That honestly sounds like an awful strategy to attract talent. Surely you believe there’s a correlation between going to the best schools and toughest companies and being somewhat productive? To ignore all those sígnals to avoid some bias is throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Let’s try the experiment. Two startups short on cash. One hires your way and one does not. Which one do you think is more likely to survive?
Like what for example?
Another explanation which I found useful: https://www.gridbugs.org/wave-function-collapse/
My impression is that it's like the secure enclaves on various chips that already exist.
