The older I get the more I see it has not been about programming for most tasks for quite a long time. In the early 80s it was a bit more (but not even much more); at that time as well I spent most of my time debugging and changing behaviour slightly (but in a lot of pages) instead of just cranking out huge bags of code.

Substack needs to fix their serif font (Spectral). It is the worst offender. Everytime I see a substack post, it is with this typeface with extremely loose fitting. Substack has one and only one job - to present text to their audience and it is unbelievable to me that they messed up it. They need to hire a typographer to advise or just use Source Serif Pro for free. Spectral typeface needs to be nuked from the planet.

Here is an example: https://joeposnanski.substack.com/p/football-101-no-51-walte...

You don't have to image the damage such a claim makes: Colorado's Mesa County clerk and record, Tina Peters, seems to have allowed someone to enter a secure room and at least take a copy of voting machine software and data.

A sizeable fraction of CO Republicans now believe the 2020 election (but only the Presidential voting!) is screwed up, even though a Qanon type broke the security, and nobody seems to have found any irregularities in the leaked data.

I'll caution against mentioning the Tina Peters incident on twitter: you'll draw trolls and bots, and some of the trolls have very specific inside information and views.
Left Postman a long time ago after all the stupid decisions. Never looked back. gRPC is a nice addition to Postman though. In contrary to what advocates of gRPC thinks, this kind of development is the key thing to bring gRPC to the wide audience. The lack of test tools for non-developers has been an obvious problem with gRPC. Most people should probably still not use gRPC since it is in most cases useless and causes a lot of problems.

Well, me they've lost, I'm ad blocked to the hilt. But back in the day when tracking became pervasive the only thing that all that presumably smart coding did was irritate me, especially because I never saw a single ad that really appealed to me. This may well be because I'm weird, but even then: that's what tracking is for right, to personalize the experience.
Honestly, Deere has been coasting on their reputation for 5 or so years. In another 5 years, I feel much of the brand loyalty will be gone if they continue this BS.
All of what you just said is true and yet at the same time utterly pointless to this conversation :| so no I do not get the point.

Yes to talk to the platform you need to use the platform ABI, whatever that may be. OS devs obviously can force people use these ABIs to talk to the platform, otherwise it is literally impossible to talk to the platform. That's true on Linux as well btw, if I want native Desktop notifications across Desktop Environments I need to use the freedesktop standard (based on D-Bus).

I can ignore that, same way I can create a pseudo "notification" with the old Windows API instead of the proper WinRT APIs (heck, even Microsoft Teams does), but that's irrelevant because it's not what we're talking about.

This discussion started from a post on Swift <-> C++ interoperability. Swift has a stable ABI. C++ could directly implement that ABI, but Apple does not have the power to enforce that.

So what point are you trying to get across to me?

I wouldn't expect this to happen. It's like hoping software will shift back to writing C++.

LinkedIn Recruiter [0] is backed by a mature algorithm that recognizes these patterns. The application quite literally recommends the optimal candidates to poach. It also guesses who's profiles are out of date (e.g. if news breaks that company A lays off 20% of sales staff, then current sales people from A are more likely to be suggested for some company B's recruiting funnel).

FYI+IMO: Both Ruby and Scala have excellent ways to reduce these issues that occur at the language level, and make it easier to both read and write. I don't know either way if that means you should extend languages to handle it, but at least it's definitively possible to write the language that way from the beginning.

Otherwise yup, agree with you; ML for problematic boilerplate isn't the right approach, but other code generators and linters are really good and get you most of the way there.
For folks here I strongly recommend installing the appdaemon integration and just writing python scripts. The downside is there is a good bit of learning curve and time investment just to get the hello world going (turn on a light at sunset?).

Once you are there, you can write shared libraries, abstract away whatever you want, have legit tests, and just do anything you would normally want in your coding environment (vscode, auto-formatters, source control, etc). Obviously not the right recommendation for a consumer system, but if you are like me and feel more comfortable with a programming language, it's the way to go.
Suffers from the same issue for me, f12 can ruin the game...

Edit: I realized that comes off more harsh than I intended. I'm super pumped someone made something and put it out there but, if I were selfish and there was a game exactly how I wanted it, then it wouldn't be able to be ruined by f12.

I know the amount of effort increases dramatically to make that happen though. Regardless, good job.
Ask HN: How to Deal with AlphaCode Anxiety?
ML code generation systems like GitHub Copilot and now AlphaCode are impressive. Part of me finds them super interesting and exciting, including everything else that's happening in the larger deep learning/language models space.

However, a different part of me gets hit with a wave of anxiety whenever these advancements make the news. I've been coding since teenage days and will graduate in a few months. I have a job lined up and am thrilled about working there. Now it feels like I'm running against a clock until the career I am working very hard for will automate itself away.

Are my feelings reasonable? How do you deal with this? Do you feel threatened?
Because the perfect hedge for a debt is to own precisely your liability for that debt. Dollar stablecoins aren't redeemable as bonds, they're redeemable (sometimes, not for tether) as dollars. Using bonds/loans introduces risk and makes the books look 1:1 (mature bonds may pay the full liabilities -- assuming the issuer doesn't default), but actually it turns out to be unregulated fractional reserve banking as people buy these bonds at a discount.

I'm not impugning fractional reserve banking per se here, just the idea that a stable coin backed by bonds is the same as a stable coin backed by the asset it represents.
It was down for me too (in Brazil). But it is back now! :)
If the majority of people receiving the vaccine are new to the vaccine and from 5-25 years, then you won't see any correlation between vaccination rates and death rates.

Haha, I'd think only people who were never in a car as a child wouldn't know that. An adult might not mess with them enough to suss out that behavior, but kids loooove playing with seat belts.

It could have been, but it wasn't. See, if I had opted out of this junk, which I wasn't because it was enabled without my consent I would not have experienced that particular problem (but others would have) and I would have been able to save myself a couple of hours of debugging.

So yes, it wasn't limited to Telemetry, but no I had not seen the bug in practice until that very moment.
Mainly it's the ability to absorb energy and punishment. Many materials have an elastic range, where if you deform it within that range, it will return to its original shape. Of those, a lot of materials, including many metals, are relatively brittle - once you push it past its "elastic limit" it just breaks. There are ways to make steel more like that too, but in general steel doesn't break at that point, it "yields" or deforms permanently (inelastically). You can keep on deforming it (and in fact it actually gets slightly stronger while you're doing that, which is an interesting feature) and it goes way way beyond what you would think possible before it finally breaks. So as a result it can absorb tons of energy, which makes it interesting for strength applications. The steel frame of a building in an earthquake for 30 seconds is absorbing tons of energy while hopefully not collapsing, or even in the worst case it at least allows a bunch of extra time for at least some of the occupants to escape. Or a steel-framed car that crashes into a pole - the steel crumples, absorbs energy, and slows the car somewhat more gradually in the process. If the frame were a brittle material it might just shatter on impact.

I think it is so they can "hide" small outages that don't rise to the level of making the news sites so they can look better. A lot of sites do this sort of thing these days.
Fraud implies intent.
Correct. SLAs aren't calculated off status pages, there are far better ways of calculating it (running a query over responses, for example). Most modern SLAs are customer initiated anyways, so the customer is writing in to request this rather than automatically calculating them. The status page doesn't need to show anything for a customer to provide logs indicating a QoS less than that promised in the SLA.

I don't think it's politics (maybe AWS's is, but GCP wasn't IMO), it's really a function of "in large scale software systems things are constantly failing in all sorts of ways, and it's really hard to output a meaningful automated signal that things are broken. Sure you can set up pingdom type health checks on every endpoint, but even then you're not necessarily guaranteeing that things are working properly.

while I am 100% in the "more practical effects please" camp, I would also wager that criticism of the state of CGI in films today is in large part a matter of survivorship bias: we are only noticing the bad CGI, and not appreciating just how much more happens to be CGI. Case in point, no one has probably seen even half as many real animals in a film in the past ten years as we think we have.

Your follow-up caused me naught but a deep hopelessness for the state of activism, something I have participated in for over a decade. As I said to the other commenter:

Not a lawyer, but my understanding of this issue is that it constitutes fraud if and only if the status page is a contractually- or legally-binding warrant as to the status of their services.

>why is it legal in the tech industry?

Tech has a history of abusing legal gray areas or else simply ignoring laws it finds inconvenient, enabled by toothless and sluggish enforcement, and using profits from lawbreaking to fund lobbying campaigns to retro-actively make things legal. For recent examples see Uber, Airbnb, Clearview, et al.
Well, here a recommendation have been the same as "You must do this".

Only the legislation does not support using that wording, so recommendation was chosen.
Um, you kept defending your use of the word, rather than abandoning it in the face of multiple people showing you used it incorrectly. I returned to the website today to a new-to-me question from you asking for a definition, so I gave it. You've been antagonistic and personal to me rather than admit that nepotism means family and close friends, not "everyone I know," and it has hurt your core thesis since--again--multiple people read your posted definitions and noted that they did not support your use of the word.

It's so weird that you're unwilling to see this, or how it's undermining your primary point, but you do you.

Would we still have these new drugs without capitalism? There still needs to be incentive and capitalism is the best model we have for that. It's the government that needs to implement policies however to make them more available for everyone. Humans can't be relied upon to develop novel solutions for the good of everyone -- there has to be something in it for them. That's just how they operate unfortunately. Long-term solutions require the right incentives.
One of my favorite things about OSX are the standardized menus... which includes a search field in the "Help" menu. Searching for things there will show you where the menu is - it's a wonderful tool for both discovery and future optimization. And it's in every application.

I only wish it applied to more places. E.g. it searches help files, but they're basically always worthless, and it doesn't search non-menu things (settings, in-window toolbars, etc). Intellij has a nice cmd-shift-A which does most of this ("search everywhere" iirc), and I use it absolutely endlessly.

Yeah, building for Grafana Cloud has big dev benefits too. We can iterate quickly, run live experiments, and build a more complicated stack (e.g. for ML tasks). We're going to be integrating more and more with the rest of Grafana too. All of this is much easier to do in one place.

This blog post covers the various techniques to sync clocks in general (NTP, GPS clocks / TrueTime, Timestamp Oracle, HLC, etc). CockroachDB uses HLC (hybrid logical clocks), which is the same clock sync mechanism as YugabyteDB uses (and Apache Kudu as well).
