One reason is people changing jobs more ;) On large, old codebases, it basically results in lava flow development. The difference with the regular code rot that could be prevented/reversed with refactoring, more time spent on code quality, best practices etc. is that it's self-reinforcing and perpetuating, with metaphorical layers of code rot on top protecting those lower and shifting the trade-off between cleaning up and adding one more even further towards the latter ;) Old layers solidify and new ones flow on top of them (layers being metaphorical, not "architectural")

In a large complex system, say something written lovingly with best practices by a guy who has left 3 years ago, needs to be modified. The new dev doesn't have a good mental model of this code, or maybe has no model because it's the first time anyone still on the team is looking at it in depth. Even with best intentions, they tend to work "around" the old code with less modifications than the original developer would have made to properly integrate the change; instead they put stuff on the "outside"... aside from additional code rot/clunkiness, this also results in fragile dependencies that are even harder to untangle and clean up, and perpetuates the cycle.

I think building the stuff YOU (or your company) need for free, and offering paid support to build stuff other need is exactly how open source should work. If no one has interest in paying the paid support, I guess there is no business opportunity, and it's better to focus on something else.
I deleted my LinkedIn account some time ago because every contact it generated was useless spam and people I have never heard of asking to be in my "professional network". If I ever want to move, I don't need LinkedIn; people in the relevant competing companies to mine know who I am. People just starting out don't have that luxury and may feel that they have to put up with it.
That is too much data to parse for a simple website scrape.

I do think Common Crawl has a lot of potential for people to use instead of scraping, but I think its for larger projects. It gave me the idea to look at the links to ID if they are a business or non-business website
Indeed. In general, you have more bargaining power when you unite all of your coworkers in one union. But it may be strategically wise to begin with a department where mutual understanding among coworkers is high; once you've got the union up and running, you can help coworkers organize and join.
The benefit is that it triggers investigations. All investigations of crimes start without proof - otherwise there'd be no need for an investigation.

In this case an investigation has happened and the evidence all points in the same direction. Putting China to one side, the actionable outcome of this should be shutting down NIAID and canning or prosecuting Fauci.

> electrical load of the financial institution

A few thoughts on that:

- How many people make use of "the financial institution"? That is everyday and real purchases, banking system, stock market, industry etc.

- How many people make use of Bitcoin? What if you compare the number of transactions per hour of Bitcoin vs. the number of transactions in "classic" finance? (that includes all the things mentioned above)

- The site only shows Bitcoin (BTC) energy consumption, which is scary enough by itself, what if you add all the other coins out there?

- Take a look at the total power consumption of the whole world, and the percentage of Bitcoin. Now add the question: How many people actually use Bitcoin vs. how many people worldwide use electricity.

While I can't provide a good source on the energy cost of the financial system, I did look for comparisons. Right now ccaf.io shows Bitcoin estimated consumption for 2022 @ 123.15 TWh with a worst case estimate of 309.23 TWh.

Let's compare that:

- In 2012 the whole country of Sweden had a total energy consumption of 136 TWh [1]

- In 2014, the whole industry sector of Germany had a total energy consumption of 244,4 TWh [2]

OpenFare does open the door to an alternative non-FOSS strategy for funding for small software libraries.

Commercial payment plans defined in code can be managed programmatically. Which means that small payment obligations can be managed at scale. Consequently, trivial software dependencies could raise meaningful capital from micropayments.

See: https://github.com/openfare/openfare#micropriced-commercial-...

However, software for a fee is not FOSS.

How much evidence are you going to demand before considering that perhaps they actually aren't treated fairly, by any reasonable definition of the word? You're largely refusing to engage with the actual topic at hand and instead squabbling over "shibboleths". Do you have an preferred way to discuss this, because I do think there's a legitimate concern here.
Respect. This is so awesome.
Sure. But you’re not obliged to respond or take on the offer.
If I am ever rich enough to engage in philanthropy for open source projects, I’ll let an admittedly petty pet peeve drive some of my decisions about which projects to shower cash onto: If you define your acronyms and tell me up front what tf your project does without making me google it, I’ll support you.
I don't feel like this page really does SvelteKit justice. SvelteKit is kind of like Next.js but taken to the next level. I know people using less mainstream frameworks tend to be a bit overzealous in their advocacy, but I've been using SvelteKit a bunch and I love it more than any framework I've ever used:

- All the component/JS/CSS/HTML/endpoint plumbing is taken care of and optimized for you with no configuration. Including code-splitting per route! You can get up and running in seconds.

- Can use the same JS/TS on the front and backends. This was always my issue with Django and Rails.

- Server-rendered for performance and SEO with client-side hydration of components.

- Optional client-side routing for performance.

- Filesystem-based routes are so easy to use and maintain. Want to make a new route? Just make a new file in the /routes folder! Want to modify an existing route but don't know where to look? Just look at the url and it's the same as the folder structure! It's always annoying to have to hunt around to find code.

- Pre-rendering aka static page generation per route! This means you can run a static marketing site and the dynamic app off the same stack. This is something I've always run into and never felt like I had a good experience with.

- I don't know how they did it but the dev experience is blazing fast with instant hot module reloading.

- Deploy to any static, serverless, or server host. You can make your own "adapter" for any platforms that aren't already supported.

- Built on Svelte so super fast, tiny builds, really helpful interactive documentation, and amazing "batteries-included" developer experience. And it's mostly just the HTML/JS/CSS you already know!

Here's more info from the Svelte blog: https://svelte.dev/blog/whats-the-deal-with-sveltekit

And an early demo from one of the creators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSfdtmcZ4d0

SvelteKit is still in beta and changing by the day but it's going to be awesome when they hit 1.0 and have all the kinks worked out.

I'm so excited about it that I'm going to release my standard SaaS stack for SvelteKit: https://sveltesaas.com
> You've contributed nothing of worth, not even a specific criticism of Crystal, let alone anything worth knowing about Ruby.

There is nothing in the text about Crystal. Why should I talk about Crystal?

> Where is your repo showing your experience in Crystal? Or Ruby for that matter.

I don't have too. That's not about Crystal, but about ruby :)

That's not about me and my code, not either about your little unknown rubygems, but the desire from people like to you to recommend Crystal as "drop-in" replacement for ruby, which is not.. Typical "I'm vegan" comment when people are talking about barbecue.

What kind of math can help a programmer in their career?

There are some fields that can make use of math, like computer graphics, machine learning and data science. Most of it being linear algebra. But although they interest me, I don't work in these fields. For actual, paid, work, I don't remember using math beyond middle school level (ex: solving linear equations), and even that is uncommon.

If you want to learn some math, maybe try playing with shaders (see: https://www.shadertoy.com/ ) or more generally, 3D graphics. There is lots of math in here, but that's awesome looking math, and you can actually see the results.

Define "work". It's a layer in your overall plan. You should be able to apply it selectively and tweak as appropriate.

If an internal resource is exfiltrating information somehow, the goal is to uncover that activity.
Retention budget is a tiny tiny fraction of overall payroll. They would rather you up and leave after 1 year to 18 months. I wonder what will we do when it stops being a job seekers market though.
Right yeah, or something less like "pay $40 to opt out" either before or after purchase, and more like "earn $0.002/day by selling your usage data". I guess the overall worth of the data is lowered by there being less of it, but whatever.
I think technology like this should force us to rethink how we do stuff at a fundamental level. Does the concept of treating "storage hardware" and "compute hardware" even make sense in this world?

We should probably start rethinking everything we do from the OS layer to the way we write applications and exchange data. Truly performant non-volatile RAM would be (will be?) a revolution that rivals some of the earliest groundbreaking work in computer science.
Parcel has been around for awhile, and the project currently has a lot of activity - I've made the call to migrate an old create-react-app project to Parcel 2 and in general it is going well.

The nice thing about Parcel is that it is intentionally low-config with relatively intuitive defaults, which tells me that it wouldn't be terribly difficult to move to a different bundler in the future. Webpack has gotten better, but you can quickly end up with a _lot_ of Webpack-specific config that makes future migrations hard.

That said, optimizing for future migrations shouldn't generally be your #1 priority - I also like Parcel's speed, and new things like ParcelCSS just validate that further.

My personal pet peeve is when recruiters talk about the qualifications and tech stack at length but completely leave out what the product / company is.

I know there are a lot of devs out there, particularly junior and intermediates, who are looking to work with their favourite tools or something they've not worked with before. But after 25 years in the industry, having worked with several "stacks" and programming languages and worked through many popular paradigm shifts, I care far more about what I'm building than I do what tools I'm using to build it.

So yeah, I ignore those recruiters.
Nobody says the case is invalid.

This is not Whataboutism. Have you carefully read the link you posted?

> Whataboutism - ... attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging hypocrisy

> Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another or the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform.

Nobody is claiming the prosecution is "engaging in the same behavior", nor that the prosecution is "claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform".

The claim is that there is a bigger fish out there, and people are pointing out, that the bigger fish would be a better expense of the taxpayer money. Perhaps they even consider scenario of dropping Facebook case right now and starting cases against Google and Apple to be more beneficial than following through with it.
> When you're annotation a resource it's best to also store a copy

Do you know if there's any precedent re: people getting upset about that copy? If I annotate an article that was originally served with ads, or behind a paywall, I'll probably not include that stuff in my copy. If people then start linking to my copy instead of the original, I could imagine that feathers would be ruffled.
To confirm, RDS does support in place major version upgrade for postgres.
I'm sure that's also part of it.
I have been offered 2 contract positions without linked-in profiles
So my answer it is not necessary.
I mostly use linked-in to post articles of interest to me in the various groups as a way to promote open source code repos from authors who publish their software as well as their findings
It is my hope that by posting such articles/work I will encourage more authors to publish their code so we can all grow together
There's an old photographer's adage, one my of my teachers shared with me a long time ago. "The best camera is the one you have on you."
Others have listed some useful stats and market share info so I will stick to my experience.

Currently working at a company that offers online pre employment testing. We integrate with a lot of applicant tracking systems. Our entire backend is written in dotnetcore. A lot of our partners are also using dotnetcore. There is no way I would classify it as a dead-end job. It definitely is not used as much at the big FAANG but there are plenty of small to medium size companies that rely on the MS dev stack.
How dare you. Also accurate.
If they can fill their roles with acceptable candidates without reading individual profiles, what's their incentive to do so?

Do you want a new job enough to be inconvenienced by recruiters? If not, then this system seems to be working perfectly.
Azure? Maybe. I have my doubts with all things cloud in 2022.

MS "development stack" (assuming .NET/C#/VS2022/AspNetCore)? Never.

You can safely disregard this recruiter's advice. Presumably, it's based on some bullshit statistical survey or other meaningless waste of time.

If you were to use HN submission statistics to determine which tech stack would be the best fit your business or career, you are probably going to fail really badly.

I've been doing pure Microsoft/.NET/C# tech stack for ~8 years now at a small startup. We solve complicated problems for other businesses. The simpler our operations are, the more $$$ we can make. You better believe that if there was some tech stack that provided a better TCO, especially in a B2B setting, we would have already been on top of it years ago. Some of the paths bandied about in popular hacker culture today didn't even exist when we started this product.

If you want popular/shiny/fun, listen to your recruiter and the broader tech community. I don't even mean this pejoratively. Some people have enough money and just want to do work that feels fun and exciting. C#/.NET is fun & exciting to me, but I can see how it's not "shiny" enough for many.
Oracle, Postgres, MySql, mSql, sqlite all make weird behaviour in different situation. You pick your poison.

In addition to the traffic analysis mentioned in another reply, there are ways data can be leaked from Tor. One example from the crime documentary "Hunting Warhead": a white hat hacker managed to locate a darknet server running a forum software by setting his avatar image to a file hosted on a domain he controlled. The forum software retrieved the age via a regular internet route, exposing the actual host IP.

For maximum privacy, Tor should be used with software designed for Tor from the start.
For the original question, I'd just say to put 'n/a' or similar in the LinkedIn field, or whatever gets you past that box but indicates that you don't participate in LinkedIn. If that alone causes your application to be rejected, you probably don't want to go through that channel anyway.
Sorry to hear that. You may also want to ask r/korea in Reddit, it has some weirdos but many people there would have some experience with Korean visa.
It's endemic on HN because it's endemic on the internet because it's endemic to humans. There's no "lately" about this.

The question is, what do we do about it? Posting even worse comments, like the GP, is obviously not helping.
Brian Krebs regularly publishes articles in which he reveals people's private data. I don't think that's okay either, but Brian is often celebrated for it and will continue to do so.
I used to enjoy reading krebsonsecurity.com, but since I realized that he is blatantly vigilante with these articles, I avoid the site. His argumentation is that he would only doxx criminals. However, this is not true, a few years ago he doxxed the developer of a large German imageboard and many volunteers of the imageboard, who wanted to remain anonymous for good reason. The criticized software of the developer had nothing to do with the imageboard and the developer also communicated that with Brian, but he didn't care about all that. The main thing was to sell the story well for him.

Brian Krebs, if you read this: a hearty "fuck you" from me for this action! You started something, that in the end destroyed one of the last places on the Internet, where one could still talk undisturbed. In my opinion, you are the biggest scum of all.
It wasn't obvious to me that you had read that paragraph.
How the hell do they run these operations or have this amount of gear safely in a favela?

When I did a full-on tourist experience of Rio, the guides were adamant that we not even go near any favela, as we'd immediately be robbed or worse. My understanding was that the crime in those areas was so astronomically high that nothing even resembling IT infrastructure could exist, as it would immediately be confiscated by the cartels operating there.

I'm glad that's not the case, but I wish the article had more information about how these people were able to operate safely.
I'm familiar with what it does (conceptually), but what I want to know is: Is it composable? Eg if I have a query and I want to add an additional filter to it, or I have a select that I want to turn into an update, is it straightforward? SQL syntax tends to make this kind of query generation difficult (though obviously not impossible).

A UTF-16 "subset" of Unicode doesn't exist. all UTF-* encodings are just that: encodings. They can all represent the entire Unicode character set. (Except for UTF-7, which never was an official standard).

What you're referring to is UCS-2 [0], which is UTF-16 without support for the high surrogates that make up the rest of the Unicode character set. But to imply that UTF-16 is a subset of Unicode is just not true.

Maybe I am being cynical here, but one advantage of AWS is that when it goes down, the whole online world looks like it is on fire.

So if you have a database on AWS, and AWS goes down, you likely don't even need to tell your CEO that AWS is down, they already probably know that from the news or because their favorite website/app is also down.

However, if PlanetScale goes down, likely everything else appears to be working except yours.
