Are we just assuming that everything I didn’t list is also just magically gone? I wasn’t.

Or to clarify, my list was mostly (but not entirely) a unique combination of things that distinguish the Macintosh. I can run Emacs anywhere, and every platform more or less has a set of PIM applications like the ones that come preinstalled on Mac OS X, but there’s a core set of features that makes my experience doing stuff I could in theory be doing on other platforms better.

This sounds exactly like what someone might have said about early IBM mainframes.
The correct spelling for the plural form is 'reais' (the 'l' from the singular form 'real' becomes an 'i').

I think I've never heard anybody pronounce 'reais' without the sound of s at the end, are you sure she doesn't say it? It's probably something like hey-eyes (hey-eye-shh for cariocas)

You're doing the same mistake, looking at the issue through numbers.

Let's say I am a power user, and I have 10 friends. I rave about a service because it serves me so well, my friends follow my lead, and now the service sees 9% users on Mac an 91% on Windows. A Linux power-user does the same, and now the service has 4.5% users on Linux, 4.5% on Mac, and 91% on Windows. Our friends then "recruit" their friends, and so on and so forth until the numbers are overwhelmingly pro-Windows - but the chains didn't start there.

Scenario 2: a Windows friend tells me a service is great, he's seen it on this video and blablabla. I check and it's just for Windows. Not only will I not sign up, I will probably badmouth it whenever the subject comes up. So chances are that at least some of our common friends will follow my lead and not sign up, even just because "what if I buy a Mac tomorrow? Their laptops are so nice, I just can't afford it right now but once I get a new job..."

You can't see these stories in a spreadsheet, because virality and clout are undocumented, so to speak, but they are often the difference between a healthy growing business and a dying MBA-driven shell of a company.

"Rod" might work as a suitable nickname, since it's also used for names like Roderick (which sounds eerily similar to Rodrigo now that I think about it).
> But if lives (number of lives) matter, and we're unwilling to ban the sale of cigarettes to save lives (which is, lets be honest, not a very impactful thing on normal life of normal people, especially if you do it the new zeland way, by a cutoff year), we basically let all those people die, and we don't care.

I don't know if you can compare smoking to covid, smoking related diseases take years and more likely decades to be deadly.

But in saying that, one way to look at this is via economics. When you are born, you have a potential life expectancy and a potential to earn society money (taxes). Smokers quite often die younger overall and not reaching their value to society, however this is general with many other diseases. Obviously reducing preventable forms of deaths such as those from smoking are to the benefit of society. Whenever you hear that smoking costs the "country" $X billions a year, that is not only the direct costs but also the indirect costs.

I believe in Australia the direct healthcare costs of treating smoking related illness was pegged at some number around 110 million a year, which is substantially different to the promoted cost of billions.

The difference with Covid is that it is an anomaly, perfectly healthy individuals have an increase chance of dying, as well as those who do have other health factors. This number maybe small but it has a large impact on the economy on society in general. Not only is a persons economic value reduced by the direct costs to society are increased.

An example of this, might be, you build a hospital knowing that X amount of smokers will die a year as well as other illnesses. You can calculate this, and work out what type of hospital you need to build. But what you cannot do very easily is calculate an additional 5 million people a year dying over an immediate time. It also takes considerable time to build hospitals, and years to train doctors, as such it is difficult to ramp up quickly to deal with anomalies. Then you must also consider the amount of productivity which is lost when a person is sick, this is also a factor which is calculated in regards to society, and then the publics spending, fear etc.

You can also look at the cost increases in the supply chain, which will affect the economy for years to come. Smokers for example are unlikely to influence the price of wood, but covid has.

So while we should take a pro-active stance against smoking (and when I was smoking I used to say the same), the pandemic is a real-time disaster which cannot be dealt with over 20 years like smoking. People will continue to die from smoking for decades even if you banned it today, but people will die today and potentially from related issues for decades from covid. The effects of covid are immediate, substantial and impactful to society not only right now but likely for some time.

I don't know but I've stopped reading the article after 5 paragraphs because of this (and also some other reasons...)
Ask HN: Do Google recruiters keep contacting you?
I've had monthly or sometimes bi-monhtly emails and even text messages to my personal phone number from recruiters at Google about open roles over the last 9 months and it's annoying af. I would never be hired there for many reasons nor do I want to interview with them. Is this just for developer sentiment to get an idea of what devs out there are thinking of their brand? What's your experience been with Google recruiters randomly reaching out?

They seem extra thirsty.
I torrent everything and then buy BR's of small movies that I loved. I don't know any other way to support indie-ish film makers. It's not like a band where you can listen to them on Spotify (which is basically like pirating it, given the pay structure for the band there) and then buy a teeshirt or whatever from their website. I honestly don't know if it actually helps anything at all, but I don't have a lot of other ideas about how to let companies know what sorts of things I think they should be making.
The reasoning is that if preventing attrition was so valuable, then it would have shown up via better profits for various businesses over the many previous decades, especially publicly listed ones since their financials are public.

I am sure some businesses got it wrong, and some businesses got it right. And it probably even varies within businesses based on specific roles.

For example, it very well may be rational for a grocery store to let cashiers go if the cost of acquiring and training a new one is low enough that it lets the store compete with other grocery stores since they are operating on razor thin margins. On the other hand, people with specialized tasks in the store such as a butcher or baker or manager might have a better case for keeping them from leaving.
Yes, but I imagine traditional compiler optimisations like inlining, unrolling, etc. are easier to apply to serial code.

Secure enclaves aren't necessarily a bad idea but SGX always seemed like a bad design.

This follows a long term trend of decoupling between the consumer electronics and the computer industry.

For instance CD-ROM and DVD drives were ubiquitous for personal computers but Blu-Ray never really caught on. For a long time Windows came with DVD players but Blu-Ray was always a third-party option.

Today there is a divergence between video codecs used for consumer electronics (HEVC) and computers (AV1, etc.) Some of it is fighting over royalties, some of it is the industries having different visions.
"Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.'
"but they ultimately owe all of that back to the society that gave them those skills."

They owe it to the retired, who are the ones who gave them their skills and passed on the capital legacy they maintained. And we have a process that handles that. It's called a "pension system".

The "owe it back to society" bit is already captured by the pension system. You don't get to spend it again.
Wirefraud could be 20 years in federal prison. This guy is worse than a rapist?

Wire fraud that destroys someone's life savings (i.e. on the Madoff scale) can be arguably put in the same ball park as a sexual assault, in terms of net damage inflicted. Plus wire fraud has the potential to inflict damage on large numbers of people. So that's probably what the maximum penalty is motivated by. (Whether the maximum applies in this case is a separate matter).

Being attacked by hackers, then getting scared, playing along, paying out blackmailers, then going to federal prison?

What you're allegedly paid for as a CSO, or chief-anything of a large publicly traded company (and at a level astronomically higher than that of your rank-and-file muscle workers who you won't even dignify as "employees") is your awareness of the law (or at least the minimal sense to ask a lawyer), and your ability to not shit your pants in these situations -- but to act rationally.

"Can't do the time, don't do the C-level".
> (most people I know wouldn’t make it through a shift working on a refinery turnaround in PPE on the gulf coast in September).

I think this can be applied to a lot of successful professions; they require commitment and, in the case of software engineering, a level of talent. You can't just go to a college or bootcamp and earn tons of money if you don't have the knack, if it doesn't click with you.

The issue here is survivorship bias; the people that earn a lot of money end up talking about, or getting reported on how they make their money, but the 95% earners below that don't get the mention because their jobs and earnings are average and unremarkable.

I mean part of me wants to reach out to a FAANG or hip startup and look for opportunities to see how much I could in theory earn there. But I don't think it would be a match because I don't have the sigma male leetcode grindset.
Possibly :)

I've asked repeatedly for access to financials and to get more insight into my parents' retirement accounts and have met resistance, which is frustrating as I may have financial burden for their care coming up soon.

Going Windows only for games nowadays seem short sighted, given the rise of SteamOS, incoming SteamDeck and the rumored Steam Console,

Basically with increased Proton compatibility and ease of use from SteamOS... installing Linux instead of Windows sounds like a viable option for gaming.

I don't even like Linux all that much myself, and am considering at least trying Steam OS on my PC once I get my SteamDeck.
Agree, "Shitty" is a very broad and relative term.
There are a lot of difficult questions posed here on HN but this is not one of them: unequivocally, you should publish the code.

It is better for science, it will be better for you and it will be better for people who want to play with your code.

Publishing is a form of advertising what you did, and helping others reproduce it makes it go viral and is a testament to how much they care. It can only help your career.

You’ll definitely get people who nitpick the code. This won’t hurt and it may even help in its own way.
dang now that's a selling point!
In addition to ads and upsells, many of the free games come with timed rewards (hourly, daily, etc) that you have to hop on to claim. Creates addictive behavior.

I want to say Brawl Stars falls in that category.

I’m sure there are some good free games out there, but for the most part the dangerous patterns I’ve seen in game design happen in free games.

Why would anyone EVER do this. That has to be the most insecure and possibly catastrophic possible way to verify information.
I mean, to some extent, _that is what happens with the flu_. Every year, the flu strains hospital systems, and has for decades. Every year, vulnerable people require a flu vaccine (and really, everyone should be getting one).

While I think Gates is being rather optimistic here, it's not a completely out-there idea; with high levels of vaccination and prior infection, most covid cases would be expected to be relatively mild (very highly vaccinated countries, and countries with a very high rate of prior infection like South Africa, are seeing this now to some extent; Omicron just isn't converting to severe hospitalization cases at the same rate as prior variants).
This is more along the lines of my “vintage”.

Thanks kind of feel left out when folk here start remembering their c64 and Ataris and whatnot!

My first computer was a celeron 500MHz with windows 98 (maybe there was a 300MHz with win 3.1 but I never got it working)

So, this blog is nostalgia! Winamp and the Linux clone!? DDR2!? Back in my day we had some other thing that I don’t remember the name (sdram?), we ruled the city because with winrar we could use the T1 of the university to download stuff, then split it in 4 3.5” 1.44Mb floppy disks to install on our computers!

Oh, and CD-R changed the game forever! And usb… it took a while and a few dongles (parallel to usd, serial to usb, ps2 to usb) and hunting down the proper .inf file, but it was glorious!

That’s my kind of nostalgia :)

What a great question. You've come to the right community.

My main concern would be to make sure there are no passwords or secret keys in the data, not how it looks.

You'll open yourself up for comments. They may be positive or negative. You'll only know how it pans out afterwards.

Is the code something that you'll want to improve on for further research? If so publish it on github. It opens the way for others to contribute and improve the code.
Be sure to include a short readme that you welcome PRs for code cleanup, etc. That way you can turn comments criticizing your code into a request for collaboration. It'll really separates helpful people from drive by commenters.
If that's really what HR is supposed to be doing (upkeep of human teams, with nuance)... I have never worked at a place where they even act like they think it is, let alone succeed at doing it. Are there really HR's out there who are different?

I have worked for managers who act like they think it is their role, and even succeed at doing it. As well as managers who don't.
I wonder if maintaining a list of things would only increase impostor syndrome - it's not about recording your accomplishments, I think, it's about how you feel about them. Is it something that took maximum effort, or do you feel like you were just at the right place at the right time?
Reuters headline on Dec 7,1941:

"Ships sink at Pearl Harbour amid Japan tensions"

Here's my suggestion when reading / thinking / discussing these matters: consider what the people in question actually think and want. Close to 100% of what I read on this topic, "NATO's expansion", "Russia's sphere of influence", etc treats the people in question as inanimate objects that are there for the US and Russia to play with.

NATO did not expand - free people chose to join an organization because they believed it would be better for them. And it was. Perhaps in the future they will choose differently, you can just ask.

Being close to Russia has been a catastrophy for all the places that were under its influnce and they're slowly realizing that and moving away. The closer you were to Russia, the harder this is.
This is pretty common in a lot of ToS, if you use their stuff (especially for free) they want to be able to use you on their nascar page of logos, or in their pitch decks. I don't really see what's wrong with that?

The problem is that many people aren't replacing their defined benefit pension with savings. They're replacing it with nothing.

That said, defined benefit pensions were always designed around the idea that you'd be staying in the same place for maybe decades. Federal government pensions are perhaps the most obvious example but it applied to many companies as well. And that just doesn't represent typical behavior--especially among professional workers--these days.
> The raid comes after President Biden and US authorities have pressured Russian President Vladimir Putin repeatedly over the summer to crack down on the Russian underground cybercrime ecosystem, which harbors many of today’s top ransomware crews.

Oof. After that call Putin must've forgot to tell the FSB to not lift a finger for a while, because you just know his American colleagues will jump at the chance to credit this to themselves.

Predictably, it's happening.
I think we agree. I wasn’t clear enough, but I wrote the underscores in “its population _is_ more criminal” to implicitly contrast it with “its population _behaves_ more criminal”. It certainly does the latter, but that doesn’t imply the former.

Simplifying things, the USA tends to think that all people who _do_ crimes _are_ criminals and, hence, should be locked up in order to decrease the amount of crime, while other countries think circumstances may have made them perform crimes, and changing circumstances may be the best way to decrease crime because it’s cheaper and/or leads to a happier population.

(In general, I think (again simplifying things), the USA prefers sending in the cavalry to save the day over doing things to prevent the need for a cavalry. You see that in infrastructure maintenance, reactions to natural disasters, and in the way it does diplomacy in the middle east, too. California is somewhat of an exception there. It invests heavily preparing for the big one)

Hell, maybe even it would be okay to have lack of money become a worry in their life- potentially would help them understand a significant portion of their electorate better. So many of them are out of touch as it is in regards to financial security, the prices we pay for things, etc.

I can understand the disgusted sentiment, but this article read like an angry Twitter rant. I'd very much like to read the original article from the Irish Times, but it appears to be behind a paywall. When I searched for alternatives, I was only able to turn up articles with the same title as this one, none of which had a hint of reputability to me.

I fear that the worst case for paywalls is coming to fruition, where the best that will be available for free are articles about articles. If anybody knows of somewhere that I can learn more about this matter, please sound off.
Can confirm.

I personally look at any paper without code with great suspicion. The reviewers certainly did not try to reproduce your results, and I have no guarantee that a paper without code has enough information for me to reproduce.

I always go for the papers with code provided.
