Case in point: about 12 minutes ago my laptop informed me the battery is low. It was at 10%. It's now at 9% so I will probably still get over 1h with it.

Edit: I went a total of 64 minutes after hitting 10%. Unfortunately the whole OS crashed at that point. I have been having issues with running 2 network extensions simultaneously, and I have a feeling the crash was more related to that than to running out of battery.

It took 10s after I plugged it into the mains for it to respond to the power button. Had this been a regular hibernate instead of a crash, I would have expected to be back at a fully usable desktop in less than 30s total. Unfortunately it took about 1 minute to fully boot and reopen all apps, which all things considered is not bad at all.
Honestly this doesn't seem that bad to me. These sorts of 'do everything' admin positions are common in the small to medium non-IT business.
> Notice that this is true of anything that relieves the highway congestion in any way whatsoever.

Is that true if we charge an appropriate price for road use? Isn't that what we do to manage availability of every other scarce resource to ensure it is being used optimally?

If you increase the price of using the road at the busiest times then eventually you will arrive at a price that maintains the optimum flow rate. You may need to adjust the price occasionally to track shifts in inflation and population, it has equity issues, and (like most sustainable solutions) it is politically difficult. But I don't understand what would cause it to stop working. In the places it has been implemented (e.g. Singapore, London, Stockholm) it is generally unpopular at first and then extremely popular after a year or so. And administering it should become cheaper as technology improves which may make it feasible for smaller cities as well.

> If the population was stable, and you built a road which is sufficient now, it'll probably stay sufficient as long as the population remains stable, because who is building enough new housing to move the needle on traffic in a city that isn't growing?

Even in metro areas that have stable populations, heavily subsidizing transportation infrastructure (whether transit or highways) between the city and the suburbs often has the effect of slowly shifting the current metro population outward to those suburbs. By subsidizing suburban commuters you are making living in the suburbs more attractive than it would be otherwise. As you make it more attractive, more people who currently live in the city will rationally choose to move to the suburbs.

I'm not saying it's a bad idea to build more lanes, just that on it's own it is not a sustainable approach. As long as rent/land prices are largely set by the market and roadways are free or heavily subsidized then it's not surprising that people take advantage of that and you end up with a shortage of road space.

This still seems off. If you wanted a deep understanding, you'd go for academic books about algorithms and data structures, then go try the leetcode problems without the coaching advice.

Coaching for an interview format doesn't solve real world problems which is why people are annoyed about these interviews.

The Holmes verdict sends a mixed message to investors
Sure, but that’s just a single facet of optimization, and I think it could be argued that just requiring developers to take a closer look at their usage could in many cases free up enough memory to cancel out intentional increases memory usage, meaning in many cases memory usage is nearly unchanged while other facets of performance are improved. It’s still an overall win.
The whole section on serial number IDs is a bit FUDy in my opinion, especially this:

> If you suddenly have a million people who want to buy things on your store, you can't ask them to wait because your sequence generator can't number their order line items fast enough. And because a sequence must store each number to disk before giving it out, your entire system is bottle-necked by the speed of rewriting a number on one SSD or hard disk — no matter how many servers you have.

There’s maybe a handful of apps in the world that see so much traffic that this would be a problem. Unless you expect to reach Amazon-scale anytime soon, or need distributed ID generation (like generating them in mobile apps or SPAs), just starting with a simple BIGSERIAL (or rather, BIGINT GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY as the state of the art is) will be good enough to get started.

You can always add complexity to your app later. Taking it away once added is much more difficult.
Same experience with Raycast and Enpass.

Additionally you can configure apps to be ignored for the clipboard history feature.
> organised crime isn't even seen as crime, and the people perpetrating it aren't seen as criminals

Do you speak of your own first-hand experience, or you got the impression from some material you read? I don't think they are that different from how Mafia is perceived.

Regarding Whataboutism --- I find the accusation really low-effort. My point has never been "The West has/had organised crime so what's the problem with the East having it?"; rather, I am pointing out how you seem to think "The West is superior just because and the East should appreciate being patronisied by the West", while the West had also experienced many of the issues you described. Of course Japan has its problems, but I'd argue it would be up to the Japanese people to figure out what they are and how to solve them.
I actually indicated that renting the 'full home' then my comments would not apply. I was specifically referring to 'a room'.

It doesn't matter what legislation is in place, I'm speaking rhetorically about what is appropriate or not.

Again: Having a guest in a room in your home is different than a strict commercial transaction.

We have 'Female Only' gyms - which are commercial. We have 'Safe Spaces' on campus, which is public property.

Private individuals can chose who they want in their bedrooms.

It gets less fuzzy beyond that.

> you can't get network effects without first achieving that critical mass of users more or less on your product's own merits

No one said VS Code and Discord had no merits at all.

Discord's core users were gamers. People who can afford to run much more demanding software for fun. People who don't care about accessibility mostly. It's free like I mentioned. It competes with Slack mostly. Slack has the same problems mostly. And 1 of Slack's merits on its way to critical mass was compatibility with other apps.

VS Code's early merits were it was faster than Atom and free unlike Sublime Text.

> Discord has like 200M+ MAUs, so of course "lots" of users complain about it.

A large fraction in my experience. "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."[1]

> I was just calling out the fact that most consumer software these days is abusive, so we have to be careful to speak about abuse in relative terms.

> Whoever really believes that people who haven't paid their bills since 1999 would magically start paying in 2022 is quite naive.

That belief is irrelevant. It's completely different to the article's statement that the population refuses to pay it, when a mechanism for them to pay it has not existed since 1999.
>President Tokayev says that he is the chairman of security council from now, instead of Nazarbayev

This is a huge deal. Conventional wisdom was that Nazarbayev, an unchallenged strongman for almost 30 years, only gave up the day-to-day duties of running the country to a younger sycophant but retained the ability to make "higher-order" decisions via his chairmanship of the security council - one of the models which Putin might follow as well, since he cannot ever simply retire.

This either means Nazarbayev doesn't want to be associated with the fall of Tokayev and will attempt to feign conflict with him to retain power in case shit goes south, or perhaps Tokayev just used the situation to perform a "forced retirement" coup against Nazarbayev.
>No, this is exactly backwards: engineering software is much much harder than engineering a large airplane. The latter is bounded by laws of physics, which acts as a global coordinator between parts and teams. There are no global constraints in software engineering and therefore coordinating modules and teams are very difficult. We have to come up with a set of constraints to achieve these goals, but the search space for the correct constraints is almost infinite. Enforcing these constraints is another issue.

Your joking or highly highly misguided. Very few corporations have the ability to manufacture/designs planes. Tons of software engineering firms exist that hire coders out of bootcamp. Global constraints makes problems harder. Why? because these constraints are extremely hard to figure out. They can be modeled with differential equations but much of the constraints can only be determined through building an actual model and experimenting with them.

>This is a false equivalence. Coding bootcamps are akin to learning to assemble parts --- nothing like engineering software.

This is a true equivalence. Let me explain to you. THERE are many people who can't "engineer" software after they come out of a bootcamp. BUT there are tons of people who come out of a bootcamp and CAN engineer software. That's why people say you don't even need to go to school to learn how to program. You don't even need to go to school to learn how to "ENGINEER" it's easy.

Now for engineering a plane? I can assure you. An aerospace engineer can't EVEN engineer a 747 OUT OF UNIVERSITY; it's that hard. It's also fundamentally impossible for a plane engineering bootcamp to even exist due to the sheer challenge of it.

You have a misguided notion of how hard software engineering is. Software Engineering is Ironically the easiest "engineering" discipline out there yet one of the highest paid.
Probably implemented in client side JS, which somehow makes this far less creepy to me.

Honestly, the reason is really boring and it probably won't be fixed.

When an economy reaches stagnation/saturation people still want to play the capital accumulation game. So they start accumulating money and land that they never intend to use. Money is needed as a medium of exchange for the division of labor. Shelter is a basic need so people absolutely need land.

Because this is an accumulation game, owning more just means you demand more. If the interest rate (or gains from land or whatever financial asset) were 3% then some people end up unemployed because they cannot clear this artificial profitability gate. Employers want to hire whole individuals for as long as possible (ideally a 60 hour week). This means some people go without a job because 2 people working 60 hours can do the job of 3 people (on paper). People (especially the youth) are scared of ending up long term unemployed, so they skill up. They now have to compete with their peers for an artificially limited number of jobs. If they win the competition then they win big. If they lose, they lose big. The government must (they have no choice) intervene. Predictably, there must be an expansion of welfare. Remember how 2 people are doing the jobs of 3? Well, that means a small portion of that extra 1/3 will go to the person that ended up unemployed. It's extremely counterproductive but that is just how things are.

So now you have two options. Play the game, suffer, win and pay welfare for others or never play and get paid welfare (it's not like they want you as their competition anyway).

I have to put emphasis on the fact that the welfare is just a symptom to avoid a rise in extremism. If you get rid of it without treating the symptom then expect to see lots of angry people on the street who have nothing better to do than hate you.
It's probably checked on the client.

Price doesn't matter, profit does. And mining difficulty automatically adjusts to price so that the profit (also from transaction fees) tends to zero (whether from the top or from the bottom). I've seen the average Opex estimated at 60%, but that was some years ago...

(Also, an expectation of prices being higher than they "should" would mean that one has to consider an incoming crash and the whole operation should probably start getting wound down, so as not to be left holding the bag with now (almost) worthless cryptocurrencies and mining rigs. In that sense, yeah, you're probably better off staying closer to home, which I'll assume to be one of those "high consumer power price" countries.)
Hi Schickling.

Denjell here from the founding team of Tauri. Thanks for reaching out directly, and I just wanted to state for the HN record, that we are going to be having a board discussion surrounding the unpleasant event raised here, and will make a public statement very soon.

That said, on a personal note, I am quite sorry this happened. We do support and uphold our Code of Conduct, and this is not an appropriate response and the community tone we want to nurture.
You memorize, regurgitate and participate in the agile masquerade. Creativity is shunned. Tried architectures/patterns are what is expected.

I feel like there is plenty of room for creativity in the high level solution and working with the customer/user. But it makes sense that when you get down to the nitty gritty, established patterns should be used. Without a doubt other engineers will come after you to work on the code, and the last thing they want to see is a super creative implementation that only you understand.

You might see a similar thing in architecture. A bridge architect might draw up a beautiful, flowing bridge...but at the end of the day the engineers will use the same techniques to make it structurally sound. So...maybe you might like software architecture more?

IOW, it turns out that it is really hard to test for the high-level skills that actually produce results, no one has really cracked how to do it, and "Leetcode", despite their marketing, has also failed to figure out how to really build a useful test set.
The TPM is a step in that direction but still misses a couple of puzzle pieces to truly control your machine. For example it may sign the boot measurements but has no introspection into what runs on the machine afterwards.

I wish we'd put half as much money and effort into fighting obesity as we do fighting COVID, or myriad other things. It's not like it's less dangerous; I'd rather get COVID than diabetes. That's not to minimize the dangers of COVID, I just think we severely underrate the danger of diabetes.

We're paying people to get vaccinated. Why not pay people to lose weight, or pay for something more indirect like joining a recreational sports league? Being at a healthy weight is like a semi-effective vaccine against an incredible range of illnesses from heart disease to infectious agents like COVID.

I also wish we would start requiring cigarette-like warnings on some foods. High sugar foods should absolutely require a label like "eating a diet high in sugar increases the risk of diabetes, which doubles the risk of heart attack and stroke, and can even result in limbs being amputated". There should probably be something similar for foods that are high in calories but low in nutrients like your typical pizza.

Or perhaps it would be better to provide an easier to digest version of the nutrition facts. Maybe something graphic, like 3 pie charts. Each food gets rated on how much of your daily fruits/vegetables, protein, and "junk food budget" it consumes, and that gets shown to consumers as a pie chart for each.

Obesity is hard to fight once it sets in, so I think it's important to make the information accessible to children so that they can make healthy choices too. A child isn't likely to read the nutrition facts, but they could probably be taught that things that have this pie chart filled up and the others empty is not a healthy food.
Thunderbird does this too.

If you create a custom SSL CA, you can add that CA to your ios devices and simulators, and they will trust your backend served with an SSL certificate issued by your custom CA, no app modifications needed. (On modern Android, this does not work out of the box - it requires the custom SSL CA fingerprints to be added to a network configuration file embedded in the app - but you could always use gradle flavors and only add it to your debug/development builds)
I wouldn't lump The Pragmatic Programmer together with Clean Code. Bob Martin is notoriously dogmatic about just about everything he says.
