What people are obsessed with is the idea that someone's "good at" something as an inherent trait, as opposed to skill being learnable and, therefore, transferable. «Shakespeare was "good at" writing, therefore he must have the "good at writing" trait from birth», as opposed to «Shakespeare was a skilled author, so, while he had some amount of innate talent, he learned to write at some point, got progressively better at writing over time, and what we have is the end result of a learning process» which is the much more sensible interpretation. I'm old-fashioned enough to think there probably is such a thing as general intelligence, but g doesn't mean you're born knowing how to write a three-act play with believable character development and enough sex jokes to keep everyone amused. Ramifying whatever raw talent you have into an actual skill takes training.
> and I refuse to knowingly install a game that features one

Yes, and that's the decision you have available to you. I would make the same decision, but I still think the developers are smart to put those kernel level anti-cheat schemes in their games. I don't do much multiplayer gaming anyway, but when I have, rampant cheating entirely ruins the experience.
That is the "sanewashed" viewpoint. The original message of r/antiwork was that nobody should have to work to live a comfortable life in modern society, and their needs should be provided by others who do.
Impressive article, well done, especially given the writer not speaking Japanese. Google translate of older documents is not very good.

If you live anywhere in the Tokyo metro area owning a car is silly. I had a friend they paid near $800 a month to park because he liked to drive outside of Tokyo once a month. I looked at him and said "you can rent cars in Japan, correct?"
As far as I can tell, this is just a slightly more sophisticated version of the Luhn check digit used to verify credit card numbers.
> While I can see some of the objections, it seems reasonable that a temporary restriction of freedom like that gets documented.

Any temporary restriction will become permanent. They always tell people it is going to be "temporary" and "there will be protections put in place". All it does is normalise such restrictions and then when anyone objects to people will say "Well it been in place now for a while, it is normal, most people are fine with it, you must have something to hide".

The same thing is done time and time again and nobody becomes any the wiser.
It is waiting its turn on my table btw.
> Me and all my peer engineering directors got down-leveled to entry-level titles within a month.

Wow, they demoted you post-hire!? Yeah, I'd immediately start interviewing elsewhere.
At a previous employer I had people that we just hire be our +1 and shadow the interview process, if they wanted to of course.

They really appreciated this since it showed them that there was no hidden conspiracy in the process, we were giving everbody that applied the same opportunities to be accepted, and we showed then that throughout the process we were actually trying to find a fit for a person within the company instead of trying to find reasons to reject them. This also gave the new candidate the chance to aks the new hire questions related to their own interview process and first impressions in the company and eased the tension a bit.

If they wanted to carry on and participate in interviewing the next session we would let them lead the challenge, with me shadowing, to gain confidence and experience, and later on, if they still wanted to carry on, they would be fully qualified to do interviews just like other members of their team (unless of course they really weren't capable, but that never happened).

So I would say the approach really matters when discussing things like this. For us it was a positive.
The spirit of the rule isn't that you can't point out when the article addresses the exact questions that the parent is asking:

> Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."

My comment sole focus is not that parent didn't read the article. Instead, I chose to answer the comment's question with the answers from the article.

> Useless and extra snarky.

Making a top comment based on an article headline, with no knowledge of what is actually discussed is what's useless and against the HN discussion spirit where we usually try to foster meaningful conversations.
You should use a dns blackhole (pihole type approach) as well as browser privacy extensions anyway.

Techcrunch has a redirect to guce.advertising.com, which is blackholed... so I can't read their content directly whether it's on hn or not. If I specifically want to read it, archive.is has it without ads. That means they get punished either way by losing hits, which is the only pressure they care about.

The mods had made this explicit: they are anti-Capitalist, and that is their mission. The unironic tolerance for Socialism/Communism in popular discussion is disturbing. EDIT: read the faq if you don't want to believe me, it's all there.
Though, yes, if uncertainty rises, market makers will quote wider spreads, which results in huge implied vols when you try to buy options (particularly not at the money).
This is mildly interesting but I'm not sure why its so high on HN, is it because people don't often write about such experiences with companies like this?

Good thing it's the third paragraph of the link provided then.

> Wrong. Bugs exist whenever you know about them, or not.

> Do you know how many of these 400 bug reports were actually platform-specific? 3. Literally only 3 things were problems that came out just on Linux. The rest of them were affecting everyone - the thing is, the Linux community is exceptionally well trained in reporting bugs. That is just the open-source way. This 5.8% of players found 38% of all the bugs that affected everyone. Just like having your own 700-person strong QA team. That was not 38% extra work for me, that was just free QA!
> As an aside I'm pretty sure my RCX IR towers use serial, not USB.

> In Wayland the data of the clipboard stays in the app where it was "added" to the clipboard and only transit between the application where it was copied to the app where it is pasted when pasted.

Back to the future...

This was how the Amiga clipboard functionality worked (at that point it was because it saved memory), though you could push the data into separate clipboard storage if necessary (e.g. if an application was about to close while a clip was active, or because an application requested a paste).
I'm not OP but I'm using the same. Setting up file and network sharing using Tailscales DNS service is trivial.

I think it adds some interesting new context, particularly around denial of origin and proclamation of homogeneity. E. G. It has always meant what I think it means. There is also the connotation of ignorance and post-hoc justification.

Maybe this fits under the umbrella of reformism, but is not synonymous.
> Lego did extensive research and found that girls preferred to play with the characters rather than build sets.

I barely roleplayed with Lego, I was all about building (first by following the exact instructions, then by ignoring them and trying to figure it out on my own, and finally by building my own stuff based on my own imagination). When I became about 11 or 12 I finally got, via a friend, into roleplaying, with Lego (I got bored of the other 3 purposes). He used the lego in the garden and made entire plays with stories, and I joined in, and we co-interacted a lot. I didn't even know you could roleplay like that!

His parents and me, we kinda didn't like each other (they were quite hardcore Christian, while my parents were more loose Christians who let me decide for myself and I was atheist from elementary school because even at age 5 or 6 I asked questions with answers which I found inconsistent in [the] religion and ended up seeing it as just a story). Eventually that difference between us ended our friendship. I look back fondly to my past friendships.
Computing the Cubicle: Design for the High-Tech Office, 1970&#x2013;1990
I 100% agree that I am not interested in establishing new relationships with payment systems other than Apple's. Absolutely true.

BUT two things:

1. I already have relationships with some payment systems other than Apple's which I trust. Not many, but some. I mean, Amazon happens to be big enough that they are immune from this requirement, even for digital purchases, but there are plenty of other companies I would happily pay directly and trust as much as Apple.

2. This messaging requirement is just petty. It makes Apple look small and childish. It should embarrass them that this ever saw the light of day.
Apple's 30% charge isn't for payment methods. I hate that this meme has persisted through the Epic case and the Netherlands regulations.

Apple charges the seller 30% (well 27% but w/e) as a sales commission for being able to sell digital goods through any means on their platform. Harping for allowing alternative payment methods is the wrong angle if you don't want to pay 30%.

It's not about the payment methods! If you can force Apple to drop their commission then IAP would be a 3% charge and nobody would really care.

They actually did. They went to actual schools - with standard programs all fellow students had to go through. Einstein specifically went to mass produced education and lived in twentieth century.

> No person prior to the twentieth century had the schooling that you have and yet schooling has now monopolized the legitimization of competence and learning.

Compulsory schooling did not started in twentieth century. It existed since 18th century. Austria has it since 1774.
> should be provided by others who do.

No, I don't think this is accurate. They wanted to abolish work for everyone, not for a select few.
You understand only one of two things are going to happen here:

Either the Netherlands government ignores the fact that the spirit of their law was completely ignored and allows Apple to set the precedent of subverting the demands of lawmakers and regulators for Google to follow.

Or the Netherlands pass a new laws in retaliation to target this.

Telling users to just use phones by the other member of the mobile duolopoly doesn't address anything here. If Apple can get away with this, Google will follow.
It's possible, but I don't consider it plausible at my current level of understanding.

My null hypothesis is that there are some really loud people on the internet who like to talk loudly about their unpopular ideas. And they're unaware of how deeply unpopular those ideas are until their little corner of the internet suddenly gets mainstream public attention.
You contradict your own point. Even that adage accepts that the upper bound on the amount of experience you have is based on the time you spend. You can have 1 year's worth in 1 year, or 1 year's worth in 10. But you can't get 10 years' worth in 1 year.

I think experience is vastly overused in hiring; it's a classic example of picking the easy thing to measure over something meaningful. But experience really does matter. Living with a code base for an extended period teaches you about consequences that just aren't obvious.
>> which they have with their move to the new subreddit

> /r/WorkReform exists already.

Yes, they noted that
I've worked with countless engineers who've had 10+ years under their belt that were outperformed and outthought by engineers with half the experience. People with low skill levels and a lot experience exist. The opposite does as well.

I'm not surprised that a large corp uses reductive and rigid leveling methods to, it happens at scale.
X11 is just a protocol too. There's no shared codebase used by all implementations of X11 either.

But the reason for that misconception is presumably that what most users would customise with X was replacing the WM - there was little demand for lots of different X servers other than for very specific needs or different platforms.

Meanwhile with Wayland, we need a compositor to replace every X wm people still care about.

For me, that's the big blocker - as long as there's no drop-in replacement for bspwm, it's a hassle for me to move over and none of the "benefits" of Wayland matter to me.

(EDIT: In fact, because of how Wayland shifts responsibilities, Wayland has led to more code being shared between compositors via projects like wlroots because the burden to implement a Wayland compositor is far higher than to implement a window manager for X, and more people care about window management functionality than the low level server functionality; eventually I believe and hope we'll end up with a couple of dominant compositors with a common set of extensions supported for all the "missing" X functionality, including a wm extension, and we'll be back at pretty much parity with X)
> that would be unequivocally a good thing.

Why? Work is a net positive in people's lives.
To me this is just the classic HN experience. If anything I hope there is some motivated founder that sees this problem and the post-pandemic lack of conference/user group talks with TED production values and starts innovating on the concept.

I used to love the 4chan-style contrarian attitude until, in high school people I knew were killed in Iraq. Then I started to realize that those kinds of nihilist attitudes have real-world consequences. Since then, that attitude has become mainstream (or perhaps just my awareness of it) and following has been a constant trail of death and misery. I can't not take it seriously anymore when my friends and loved ones are dying and turning on each other.
While I’m generally cautious that “Years of Experience” isn’t a great reason to downlevel, I also wouldn’t expect someone to be a “Senior” after graduating (even with a PhD, and even if it were in Computer Science or a closely related field) in ~2 years either.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshcsimmons doesn’t mention graduation year and seems to try to pass off the UC Irvine time as professional experience rather than academic, but other social profiles like Quora say “Graduated 2019” after doing a PhD in Music Composition & Music Technology.

I’m sorry to hear Shopify wasn’t the experience you wanted.
From my point of view SSR is still frontend, maybe not the kind of workflow the author was expecting, but still is producing HTML, CS and eventually some JS down to the browser.

>Journalist are protected under "press freedom"

Journalist is NOT a protected Job-Title (aka everyone can be it...and yes Assange too), and most journalist would tell you that Assange was more journalist then most so called professionals. And again "press-freedom" is not a World-Right/Law but different from country to country..and non existent in others.

Not often have i seen such a uneducated and childish worldview as yours...it's nearly comical.
What do you want to know?

I think r/wallstreetbets is still a fantastic place and more or less true to its purpose of finding interesting and novel trades.

Much of the discussion has expanded, to discord (600K users, the limit) as well as the daily reddit talks (Think clubhouse but for reddit).

The daily thread is still fantastic for a very quick list of interesting topics, which you can jump into and have a conversation with anyone.

There still remains a decent sense of camraderie, but there are definitely fewer recognizable names amongst the volume of comments. More time being invested into handing out unique flairs will help with this

Weekday meme restrictions over the past week has largely undone all the damage to the main feed and brought back a larger array of high quality discussion.

Predictions add an interesting dimension to the subreddit where all users can participate regardless of personal wealth.

---

So overall, I'd say it's going very well. There seems to be a significant amount of misconceptions both in the general population, as well as even our regular users, but as long as we continue to do the right thing and protect discussion quality, people will slowly but surely see the light.
Why does no social medium try to tailor against gentrification? It doesn't have to be always exponetial growth, it's fun in the beginning but then entropy takes over. Communities with mechanisms to ensure they keep hovering around a midpoint are sustainable.
Valve vetting is also about the controls being usable for the Steam Deck, not just the fact that it runs.

I don't doubt the author, but this specific statement seems off to me in a general sense.

Sure, you can get rusty with a specific set of tools, but picking them up at a later stage should not be too much of a hassle. _Should_ is the keyword here.

Do others feel this way? Am I misinterpreting this?

It sounds like you know more about how these work than I do so I'll assume it can happen. It's a risk to consider for sure. I obviously don't want this to happen to me, but I'll still take this major inconvenience that a few individuals might suffer from over cheaters in game that everyone playing the game suffers from. I'm talking cheating in multiplayer games to be clear.

> In the second case, I got the sense that leadership didn't really grasp how costly the context switching was for us due to not having much collective experience working in mobile (not to mention the rude awakening of having to deal with iOS dev dependencies).

This is something I’m dealing with in my current job. I would love to hear how people have been successful at conveying this to leadership.
I would imagine that your team picking WP or Drupal and attempting to shoehorn in your use case had more to do with your projects failing than PHP itself.

I see that happen a lot in the wild, and not just with PHP.

I bet you could have picked a python/node/c#/go CMS with a similar outcome.
So my thinking is the origin story of the sub is definitely organic. However, it is an easy win for a bad actor to push the narrative that a handful of loud voices are shouting about for their own interests.

Yep! And it's getting more and more - technically cell phones are computers, but at the same time so are Tv's and such!

So, it's more of the same, computer use is dwindling and so is general computer literacy. e.g. Ask what a file is, or a directory and majority of iphone users have no idea! Permissions too!

I find it so exciting, I read about this a while back, e.g. 2015, for user experiences and literacy and back then were reports that the entry curve for computers has been removed via cell phones (iphones, androids, e.g. general smartphones.) that daily computing difficulties do not present themselves as they used too (and they still exist.) from virus, malware, to sorting files, organization, search, and general software competency like excel and such.

But ask about social media apps and how they work - and there you go (which, ironically suffer the same issues on purpose, how do you sort information, organize new content or higher fruitful content, etc.)

There's also the fun part of addiction and dopamine feedback loops, but I'm getting a bit off the track here. :)
