> The work of Ruth Schwartz Cowan demonstrates this dynamic in the arrival of appliances like microwaves, washing machines and refrigerators in the first half of the 20th century... Cowan showed that these technologies did not necessarily result in a net reduction of women’s housework hours. Instead, the new electrical machines were often replacing the paid labor of domestic workers. American families in the early 20th century, even economically “uncomfortable” ones, often maintained day workers or live-in workers as a regular supply of labor.

In the U.S., only a minority of families ever employed domestic workers on a regular basis. Most people did not employ domestic workers. Domestic workers, for example, did not generally employ domestic workers.

Electrical appliances did decrease the amount of labor required to run a house. That's why families today, who work more hours on average, can run a house without employing domestic laborers.
My experience is that devs generally lack the desire and expertise to read and interpret legal texts. According to GDPR isn't not their job either. Each company needs to employ or hire a Data Protection Officer (DPO) who is responsible for keeping track of data protection regulations and ensuring they are applied company-wide.

IMHO, as long as devs weren't trained on cookie law, they are not morally responsible.
This is absolutely true for Google (or companies of similar scale), where it is
1. hard and slow to just fire someone
2. The production of a good (average?) vs. great programmer doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things (due to massive scale, and robust quality control systems).

A process where you optimize for avoiding false positives makes sense.

Most companies are not Google though, and if they are <50 employee - it's absolutely the opposite.
1. It's fast to fire people
2. Missing out on a great programmer for an average one makes a huge difference!

So, it follows that they should optimize for avoiding false negatives (rejecting a great candidate), without worrying too much if they got a bad apple snuck in.

But now we’ll be able to reach herd immunity. Very mild and highly transmissible. This is the best possible outcome.
You still can’t really conclude that it is due to Java somehow.

Also, if jetbrains would finally use a non-deprecated GC and a slightly more GC-friendly max heap setting, intellij would have much better latency. (You can try this out yourselves, just go with G1GC and increase heap size for a good improvement. But the best experience would come from ZGC but it is only available in a newer runtime than the bundled 11)
I found some great resources here for other languages, too, including even FreeBasic:

There are also a lot of frameworks out there which may be useful without a tutorial. For example Valkyrie for the Free Pascal Compiler, which integrates Lua and was used to create DoomRL.

Hilariously not in many cases. One of my old jobs introduced leetcode, particularly trees for interviewing. Nobody currently there could solve those.

But a new engineer was assigned to handle interviewing and it was all about a couple of leetcode problems he found on the internet.
Based on what we see in other viruses, the practical evolutionary upper limit on R0 for respiratory viruses appears to be about 18.

Preliminary data on the Omicron variant indicates an R0 value in the 7 - 10 range. So SARS-CoV-2 might still have a little more room to evolve even higher contagiousness.

This sounds similar to octopus senescence.

Senescence is not a disease or a result of disease, although diseases can also be a symptom of it. Both males and females go through a senescent stage before dying-the males after mating, the females while brooding eggs and after the eggs hatch.

Yes. Or, assuming the old mechanism still works, using *Configure Language to boot into BASIC by default every time the machine starts.

My guess is that the RISC OS version of BBC BASIC will also have slightly better compatibility with things like old printed program listings than BBC BASIC for Linux, so may be a better choice for the full nostalgia hit.
The things you mention are no fun either (`node-gyp` in particular), but the Java issues I encountered were far beyond run-of-the-mill runtime linking and interop issues you describe. The details are lost to time and a bit fuzzy but I recall the primary issue being competing CDI implementations stepping on each other when we tried to use JSF with a recent version of Spring... and because most everything in the Java ecosystem was doing some opaque Aspect4J magic it was nigh-impossible to debug.
2 years ago I did an internal transfer in my company. It's up to each team how they want to handle it, but some teams set up a full interview similar to what external candidates go through. Out of 2 interviews, I failed one and passed one.

I've long come to terms with how much randomness plays in the interview game.

In the context of conquering "the land" from East to West, I think the articles sentiments are spot on. The conclusion that Americans would settle long term is open to debate. The frontier discussed in the article is a physical one, conquered by hard labor and sweat. And while Americans did succeed and enjoy (physically) lighter days now, the author failed to predict we'd find a new frontier, a digital one. The hard labor is now done in the mind, even if we spend too much time binging Rick & Morty.

Ask HN: Who wants to help promote RSS?
I would like to create a group that promotes RSS.

Regularly on HN we see threads about the apparent demise of the feed file as a technology and how sad it is. Despite the answers to those threads showing that RSS/Atom is not dead at all, what is clear is that it is not in a great spot. Less sites support it, percent-wise a smaller amount of internet users knows what it is and how it might be of use, browsers dropped their integrations.

I have a plan on how to counteract this. It includes getting people together who feel that this technology is elemental for the open web and should be preserved. It then vaguely continues like this (not necessarily sorted by feasibility):

1. Open PRs for browsers with provided-by-us code to integrate RSS again, with UI elements that make existing feeds visible and supports subscribing via a feed reader

2. Run a site that can be used for this, that takes a "I want to subscribe to a feed"-request and presents RSS readers to do so.

3. Implement default feeds for CMS that are missing them.

4. Implement easy to use libraries for programming languages that might miss them.

5. Create a website that explains why this is important, that hosts or links to the specifications and that contains additional documentation.

It's nothing I can do on my own, but I really think that if some people come together, that we could have a real influence on this development. Even if the browser integration step fails (which might be likely) there are alternative ways forward. And I'm sure there will be many more ideas on what could be done.

Notice the pattern
> I get that you need to have some dependencies. But if you go build Linux From Scratch, you get a total of 68 packages, most of which are part of the GNU project and come from common authors.

Well to be clear, i'm talking about the dozens of applications primarily that make "my workstation". All the crap and varying duplicated versions, all of it.

Much of my dependencies aren't JavaScript or Rust based, and there are still dozens if not hundreds of dependencies. Is Nix at fault for letting me too easily install things? Maybe each individual app needs to have less dependencies? My workstation is built on leagues of other dependencies, is my workstation less secure because of it? Probably. Would installing less things be more safe? Sure... but throwing away my computer would be too.

The problem isn't the count imo. The problem is how we vet them. To not only judge a library/app, but to automate a way to bubble up this vetting. To let consumers know that the one package/library/etc they chose to use increased their risk by a significant amount. To know when a package updates that it is no longer secure, as it is owned by a different author. etc.

In summary: It's easy for me to install packages on my OS. Most OSs in fact. Making it more difficult to install wouldn't help me make safer choices.

It's only "leftist gatekeeeping" if you're wedded to the idiosyncratic notion that anarchism is not a form of socialism.

From the language you use, I suspect you are a USAian; the term "leftist" seems to be used mainly as a term USAians use to express their contempt for socialism. In most of the world, "socialism" is not a bad word. But the term "leftist" is often used by authoritarians to describe the "terrorists" they're using the army to suppress.

I worked in a retirement home and sometimes witnessed the inverse: a husband or wife dies (more often a husband) and the surviving spouse feels liberated and rejuvenated as if decades of weight have been lifted, and they spring to life making new friends and appear generally more happy and healthy.

It’s still a processes — there’s a period of grief and adjustment but I’ve seen it happen a few times.
They own their own house. They could easily afford to have children. They could easily find well paid work outside of big cities, set up their own business. They didn't need higher education to get a well paid job. They didn't need to work nights and weekends for 15 years straight on side projects just to get by (like I did). They have more friends and their friendships are stronger too because they don't have to keep moving countries/cities to find jobs that pay enough (and with the right tax regime) to support a basic lifestyle. They didn't have to change jobs all the time to keep up with inflation. Their jobs were meaningful and useful to society (not some financial schemes). They're part of their community. They are less stressed. They feel free to express their views with their friends and colleagues. They felt that they could trust the government for most of their lives. Taxes were lower since inflation has since pushed everyone into higher tax brackets and the taxes actually went to useful projects, not into the pockets of big corporate executives and financiers.

Nowadays, every worker is subsidizing corporations; subsidizing their own slavery within the corporate system - Sometimes unwittingly, sometimes against their will because in many countries, retirement contributions are compulsory and deducted from incomes; this money is 'invested' into corporate stocks and straight into the pockets of big executives who get huge bonuses thanks to the rising stock prices; driven by all the big pension funds propping up stock prices using workers' money which was taken out of their salaries without their explicit consent.
IIRC, they went with async/await because it could be implemented through desugaring in the compiler using a technique similar to what they had implemented a few months earlier with IEnumerable. That is to say, the team was thinking about desugaring at the time the need for asynchronous functions arose and they were not thinking about CSP. Remember that C# was in production at the time and they needed something that would not potentially upset the world.
It at least is the end of managing the pandemic. Whether you want to or not, there is no locking down against this version.
Since this thread contains a lot of comments about Java's ergnomics and speed of innovation, it might be interesting what has changed in the last years:

It is pretty impressive how Java keeps up to date over decades! I think in the long run it is very wise to be conservative over new language features. For example the work von "green threads" (project Loom) is a really good, fundamental approach with backwards compatiblity and there are some voices on the web thinking that such an approach is more clever then introducing "async" to the language (C#, Python, etc). I really appreciate how careful the engineering is and how they don't shy away from putting years into some topics.

You're missing the fact you can catch it over and over. My wife is currently battling Omicron after we both had covid at the start of last year. Fully vaccinated and boosted three weeks ago, caught it anyway. With an infected population this massive mutations happen fast enough to cause a new wave before the old one burns out.

This is not a GDPR fine, that (as of now - there's some push to change that in the future) can't be passed by France and would have to go through Ireland's regulating agency (since Ireland is the country chosen by Google) which has been not particularly willing to enforce GDPR against the major multinationals.
I have a feeling we are gonna want more things to worry about. Done with the pandemic? Let’s latch on to something to make sure 1) You have no kids 2) We keep increasing the power of the government measures 3) Equality meaning we stoop to the lowest level, not bring up the baseline 4) Keep eroding the standard of living.

I guess it depends on a few things:

- how long the immunity gained from having recovered from Omicron lasts

- how well that immunity protects against other current (and future) variants of covid

- what kind of new strains of covid appears in next several months / years that may replace Omicron

- how many people we are able to get vaccinated globally

- advances in new and better vaccines becoming available (complete with antiviral pills etc)

And probably quite a few other factors that weren't on top of my layman head...
It's been over ever since the vaccines became widely available. After vaccination many of us went back to normal and haven't looked back. Huge bureaucracies just take a long time to change course and some simply refuse to recognize that it's endemic for whatever reasons.

No I wouldn't. The pipeline to big tech is quite broken. The only way I got in was through acquisition. Now that I'm in, I've been able to be a top performer and get promoted every 1-2 years. New hires are usually really bright, but they lack practical abilities to do anything the job requires.

The technical interview is broken and has been for a long time. I'm sad that as a society we accept leetcode or unrelated system design questions as a means to measure proficiency.

The standard continues to rise in certain companies and lowers in others.

I don’t know. Anecdotal but I know a lot of people who had prior strains (many even vaccinated) who have gotten it. The numbers are so high that natural immunity from previous strains/vaccines seems to be very low.

If delta or OG Covid didn’t do much about omicron, I don’t think we can assume omicron will do much about some future variant.
