This "article" looks at a problem and tries to guess what the causes are. This without actually checking if those guesses are correct, or knowing too much about why the US is so much more troublesome than anywhere else.

e.g. it completely skips over the reliance on chassis to do anything on a US terminal. Anywhere else in the world and the terminal setup is quite different. Another issue is that most other places in the world work 24/7, unlike US terminals. This is coupled with a really strong but strange union (preventing any changes) on the US terminal side, while trucks are more or less abused.

It complains about things (globalization) that on its own aren't bad. What's bad is that various governments did nothing to prevent that only a few benefitted from that globalization in e.g. US/Northern Europe.

Then it points towards some law that's a US law and not global. It's a bit strange to ignore China->Europe trade.
You say that you choose ZFS if you don't want to worry about data loss. My experience is the opposite of yours. The only time I experienced filesystem corruption (other than hardware failure) was when I upgraded to Ubuntu 21.10 on a ZFS installation. Ubuntu 21.10 released with a known bug in the ZFS implementation that caused filesystem corruption. I was disappointed to say the least.
Is your Lua code standalone? i.e is the interpreter part of the application size?
I mostly worked in IBM research but once spent a few months on assignment in a product developed group in the mid 1990s. At the weekly group meeting, each developer would mention throw many lines of code had been reused. Turned out that there was a big monetary incentive to reuse code so developers would randomly include enormous libraries to pad out their numbers!
Clickbait. Again.
Not for free.

It just feels free because you already paid with your time to learn the conventions. :)

I think that -- even at that age -- the whole project would merely have rendered me more cynical than I was even then. Some smart girl had decided to accuse me of plagiarism for a Halloween-themed story assignment I had turned in (it was "too original").

In junior-high, I had convinced the band conductor to devote 20 minutes (in sacrifice to the sehr verehrter Herr James Swearingen) to a reading of a composition I had written for that ensemble. Hearing someone whose name or face I didn't know whistle one of the trite themes I contrived instilled in me an aeternal question mark: was that mocking or camaraderie?

Later, as an undergraduate, I awoke to hear some vandals (one of which was claimed to be the offspring of Frank Zappa -- as if that that put him on the order of a C.P.E Bach) demur to hurl paint on my door because he heard my sting quartet at workshop ("no dude, he's cool, did you hear...").

One may as well convince others of your worth by means of buying companies (a ls Musk) or by hurling interstellar bottles into space, only to suffer the heat-death.

The saddest, most devastating thought that has ever occurred to me is that despite Voyager's drift, the genius of J.S. Bach will ultimately be erased.
What are your thoughts about when the wives of the EA developers came together and sued EA?

At the moment, if someone attaches a Airtag on my car and I have an iPhone it will notify me someone is tracking me. If I have an another phone however I don't receive that warning. Apple's put a product out there that benefits them while decreasing the safety of people who don't use their products. An open protocol at least would prevent this.
We can go back much further in time and find the same lamentations:

'The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.' -Socrates

how would you describe it?
It can even be different in the same team. It's about who wins the bully lottery just like in school. Some will go through school totally oblivious to the fact that some people gets so bullied that they decide to end their lives a few years down the road.

Once I came in to work in the evening, I had forgotten to bring my phone with me. There I find one of my coworkers crying his heart out because the women treat him like shit. I had not noticed a thing until then. They thought he was sent there to optimize them away and was making his life hell. He had sold his appartment and moved to our little town to work but couldn't take it and moved back again.
I think it depends on personal mental models. I found rust easier to get to grips with because it was more straightforward for the way I thought, whereas with Go I struggled with a lot of things that felt funky to me.

I fully agree that Go is a simpler language up front though at the syntax level.
Better to check in on Google Maps rather than Foursquare so you keep your history when the small companies pivot away or abandon the service. It is bizarre to me that Foursquare didn’t keep it going though
If it's just software, you could always cheat; Apple II emulators exist - you could have exactly that, if you want. (Granted, with worse boot time and hardware integration)
> Because it is such an applied field, of course you want actual numbers

That's why you're an engineer and not a mathematician ;)

Because, no, _I_ do not want numbers if I can avoid them. Proofing that something has one (and exactly one) solution is (for example) way more interesting than actually computing the result - this is that boring that even computers can do (some of) the work for us.
You still to do extra legwork to extract the info.

Seems the author hasn't even played with zfs than small experiments. Compression works very well for logs and even compresses /var/lib/docker to about half which usually becomes quite huge as you keep using containers.

Saying to be cautious of using zfs because some day there will be an in-tree file system to replace zfs is absolute nonsense.

What happened with btrfs? People waited for a decade and still no wide deployment.

And no one wants to use zfs-fuse. Everyone says the performance is a joke but yet, it's not mentioned in there.

Word of advice, try zfs than read this article.

I wasn't suggesting anyone should "just be quiet", in fact, I'm happy this person was able to express themselves and their situation openly on LinkedIn.

My point was simply this wasn't a very pragmatic approach to handling the situation. Some employers may not like to see this type of content on their professional profile and it may hurt their career.

It still seems to indicate that the amount of COVID is decreasing in some of the areas with less restrictions and increasing on areas with the most.
He said he DOESN'T make 250k. He said he and his non-programmer gf make much less than that combined.

And yet they're still doing just fine.

My post has numbers. So does his. They're earnest attempts to show that the numbers can and do work.

You on the other hand, are spitting out one exaggeration after another in bad faith. No, you don't need to move to rural Nebraska to find cheap rent. No, not all tech workers are lazy. Some of them settle for that shitty commute which you call a dealbreaker. Take a hard look at your attitude.
Nice picture, but what are you saying with it?

The image you linked were made by a weather monitoring satelite. It was optimised to capture a wide are of the globe. This is clearly not the type of lens you would use to surveil military activity. It is not even the right modality to capture radar signals.

Not all scientific work requires funding as huge as building a lab. You do not always need pricey reagents and equipment. What is required is 1) time 2) covering biological needs. Given modern productivity, the time required to cover biological needs is small, something like 2-4 hours/day. If I could work just this little time, I will have enough free time for scientific work and I will not need to depend on grants.
I don't get this. From what I've heard, in the US, you don't need an excuse to fire anyone. Why bother documenting an excuse then?

Nice to see Slackware still going strong.

Like many around these parts, Slackware was my second Linux distribution, after I decided that Red Hat 5.2 was too mainstream for me.

One of my favourite things about Slackware was the installer that showed a couple of paragraphs of trivia about what packages were getting installed. I learned so much about the people that made these amazing things possible. (Larry Wall! John Ousterhout! Roland McGrath! Ulrich Drepper!)
Literally use it for 5 minutes and you’ll understand.

1. Excellent watch list functionality including showing pre-market change separately from regular hours change.

2. Automatic alerts when any stock hits a new 52 week high or low as well a 5 or 10% move in either direction

3. Ability to trade starting at 4 AM which is at least 3 hours earlier than almost every other brokerage. This allows for earlier trades on big news.

4. Best mobile charts including the ability to show candlesticks with numerous indicators at many timescales. You’re not stuck with the bare Robinhood charts.

5. Excellent market information section showing top movers, highest volume, upcoming earnings, breaking news

6. Detailed information on large inflows and outflows for every stock

I have many more but I’ll start there because the charts and watch list alone make it easily better than the competition.
Stories have two sides, someone on blind posted the following, and no one's challenged it so presumably it's true:

I don't know if it's the same in the US but here, in the UK, there is a similar issue except that there is also a sub-domain of partially skilled tradesman fighting over the scraps and this group is growing fast because of the surge in demand.

If you want someone on the job tomorrow morning you can still find people. You will very likely regret it though.
Python might actually need to be sacked and blacklisted from the industry.
As one anecdotal point (and I’ve referenced it here before) but my iPhone was once stolen. I tracked it with Find My and, once located, called the sheriffs department of the jurisdiction.

Based on what they told me they sent two deputies to the house and politely (yet firmly) “requested” the phone back. It actually went exactly the way you would expect - we have probable cause to search the entire house for grand theft. Just give it back.

I went to the Sherrifs department an hour later and picked it up.

Good use of resources? Probably not. Faith in public servants for me? Absolutely. Hopefully a scary lesson learned for an offender or two on a path of criminality? I hope so.
it's clearly a lie!

Due to EMTALA, hospitals are legally required to care for any patient who arrives in unstable condition regardless of vaccination status. But I would encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated as it reduces the risk of hospitalization.

It’s absolutely a useful metric. I have managed many developers who insist their low LOC is in no way indicative of their productivity. They’ll say others are padding their code with comments, or writing bloated inefficient code, or that they themselves were tackling very tough problems that result in small (but tricky) fixes. Yes, we’ve all encountered that killer deadlock or memory leak deep in the runtime that takes three weeks to debug and then it’s a 2-line fix. But some people pretend that’s how all their work is, when in reality they take a week to fix a css misalignment, or take a week to refactor some simple python script and add one new command-line argument, and they average 50 LOC or whatever.
Does anyone know what the communication architecture of administrations looks like? I perceive it as a web of directly communicating people/departments, kind of like Microservices communicating via REST APIs.

You mean you're actually seeing 90% GC overhead and are not looking to improve on that? (like by tuning the GC or changing your implementation). GC impact on normal behaving applications should be less than a few percent, so you're not comparing Rust and Java, but Rust and badly written/tuned Java - which doesn't say anything about the maximum attainable performance.

I actually read most books like this! Red text on black background. It's especially nice in the evening: light above 580 nm doesn't appreciably activate ipRGCs, so melatonin sythesis isn't inhibited. And if the device had an OLED screen, its battery can last for days.

I wish GPUs had programmable scanout "hooks", so that you could run a bit of hard-realtime code to modify colors as they went out. As it stands, you can either twiddle the colorspace knobs (limited control, can't do perceptual color->grayscale), or you can get the system compositor to run a color conversion pixel shader to modify the display buffer. The latter is infinitely customizeable, but eats into frame budget, bandwidth, and runs the risk of not finishing in time for scanout.

(Now I'm wondering if something like this has been added to more recent GPUs, or if it's been there all along and I didn't realize it. Time to do some research.)

I remember being told a lot when I was younger how good it was to get into trades, how well they pay and how easy it was to get into. I might be an edge case, but I tried getting into both trade jobs and dev and found the latter far easier (I didn't go to university, or even finish my A-levels). I'm no hotshot programmer either, I've done a few hobby projects but nothing that'd blow your mind. As for pay, its hard to say for sure but I'm doing alright for myself and my prospects are only looking better. I have friends who are in trades (all around the same age), some are paid more and some less than me so it doesnt appear to be that much different.

Don't have any particular problem with trade jobs either, but they seem to be a bit overhyped and no more worthy of respect than anything else

The supply chain disruption has been US and UK specific, and has very obvious causes specific to those countries - no one else is really having issues.
This problem _is_ a result of central planning. Government backed loans have over inflated the price of degrees and created an oversupply of graduates with little attention paid to the skills employers actually want. In a free market kids would have to finance their careers with bank loans, and I can guarantee they would not lend you 6 figures to study Fine Arts.
It’s not that simple, the flakiness is from the internal services we’ve been mandated to use as part of the build process
There are plenty of other examples one can reach for.

Go would lose in performace benchmarks that make heavy use of generics or SIMD code in .NET, because:

1) We all know the current state of generics in Go

2) Currently most of the SIMD support in Go is basically "write your own Assembly code in hex", because many of the opcodes aren't even supported by the Go assembler

Then there are other factors like since .NET 6 there is the possibility to use a JIT cache with PGO, and there is only so much a single AOT compilation can bring into the picture, specially since Go tooling isn't that big into making use of PGO data.

Or the fact that .NET was designed to support languages like C++, so there are enough knobs to turn if one really wants to go full speed.

Naturaly because hating Microsoft and their technologies is fashionable, few bother to actually learn the extent of ecosystems like .NET actually offer in detail.
K-means is a nice approximation but not very precise in this context. Averaged driving time and fuel usage probably played a role in determining a warehouse's location.
This article speaks more specifically about how Western European politics have changed, not "the world", and not very much about how American politics changed, either. And I think this is indicative:

> In the years after 2008, the political Ice Age which had followed the collapse of the Berlin Wall began, steadily, to thaw.

This ignores that the process of transitioning towards hyper-politics has been going on for quite some time in the U.S. from Gingrich's hyper-partisan speakership in the '90s to the War on Terror (remember that?) throughout the '00s, not to mention the brief spark of the anti-globalization movement in the late '90s during the WTO protests, there was a lot going on before the great recession. The End of History ended on 9/11, far before 2008, and certainly before 2016!

Ask HN: Too old to be a front end developer?
I’m 27 (almost 28) years old and have heard the horror stories about ageism in hiring especially in the Bay Area where I am located.

I am self taught and have a a few years of experience under my belt working a well known non-FAANG company but mainly doing front end work with some relatively light weight backend tasks sprinkled in from time to time.

I enjoy the work I do, but am wondering if it will still be a valuable set of skills once I start getting into my late 30s or if I need to start developing serious backend chops to stay relevant.

I’m sure it’s not like this everywhere but I have mostly observed younger people working in more fro tend related roles, so I’m wondering if anyone has felt like they needed to switch focuses with age eventually
You keep posting a 2 year old msft blog post which is out of date. The benchmark project page they link to points to this for the most recent results: https://www.nexthink.com/blog/comparing-grpc-performance/
