It’s unclear what tenure means. Usually it means time at a company not time in industry. But performance ratings also matter and the type of company matters. It would be best to see this normalized by years in industry, company size (revenue or market cap), and ideally with performance ratings accounted for in some way.
I also strongly disagree with the author. They're probably referring to things like Gnome and Unity and PopOS. The thing is, these are opinionated options in addition to everything else you can do with Linux, rather than replacements that restrict your options. You've also got things like NixOS, which is definitely going in the opposite direction, allowing you basically infinite customization.
Oof, that sounds like a lot of work.

Simplicity is a virtue but sometimes the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
Show HN: Hacking C++ to support Structure of Arrays
Using my very primitive abilities with template metaprogramming, I put together a structure of arrays (SOA) class for C++.

The point of SOA is that it can be cache friendlier.

I don't think so. Based on this article, Netflix is also forcing pixels on their screen to be color black -- and I want them to be green.
I use final cut to edit videos. Two things I haven't figured out how to do is to automatically that I would love an automatic solution to:

1. Cross fade the audio between clips, without crossfading the video, if the sound is available past the cut point. I think its pretty much 90% of the time that I would want something like that.

2. I have clips from a gopro that had a selfie stick that made a loud clicky sound from rattling that peaks above regular audio. Some way to lower the volume on that clicky noise without having to manually go through and do it for each click.
The creators of the Raspberry Pi had a good take on this:

Sort of how Iridium made tons of money? I'm skeptical of it being a cash cow since for almost everyone LTE makes more sense (technologically, not necessarily any specific plan..). There aren't THAT many people living in the woods...
I actually wish the book had been more about it… the post launch part of that book was honestly the least interesting writing I’ve ever read from Andy Weir.

I also still can’t get over using a hand cranked winch instead of using the entire ship as a capstan while performing a barbecue roll. (Hopefully that a winch is involved is not too much of a spoiler for anyone)
Driving a cabover would seem to not help in those situations, somewhat obviously.

A cabover has better close up visibility, not distance.
> But the lion’s share of the directorate’s work is envisioning the technologies that are generations ahead of what we have today.

No need to assume people are out of their minds or even critical. I am curious about how it's done on a technical level, with the old local ad system in mind (which I thought was a brilliant solution to Internet commerce and privacy). I've supported and contributed to Mozilla since before Firefox.
Unless there's been new information in the past few weeks I haven't seen, one of the strongest theories about Omicron is that it's a hop back from rats that had been infected with Alpha.

Cyberattacks are different then sending a warship or dropping a bomb though. They are harder to attribute and anyone knowledgeable and willing to the spend the time can carry them out. There have long been cyberattacks by criminals on companies in other countries, but attacks by individuals on governments are also possible as we now see. It seems likely others will emulate this and there is no obvious way to stop it from happening. It may be illegal but you have to find the person responsible first. Current cyberdefenses obviously are porous. Warfare used to be the domain of the state mainly because only the state had the capabilities (and some corporations have had and used similar capabilites, like oil companies with their own private armies). An individual could travel somewhere and start throwing bombs but the amount of damage they could do was small. Instead of a DDoS attack this guy could have decided to brick all computers in North Korea. I don't see a way these kinds of attacks can be stopped and they seem likely to cause a lot of havoc in the world. Basically, imagine ransomware with a political motive behind it launched by individuals with a goal of destruction rather than Bitcoin. It's actually kind of surprising there haven't already been many instances of it, or maybe there have.
Yeah like when you use a browser no where did you literally cause & consent to loading and running stuff.

False analogy.

Ironic that people use this line of reasoning to defend ad blockers (I'm responsible for whatever software I run) but then use the opposite argument when they don't like what the software does.
To make things even worse I also recently (v. 9.11.0) found Postman process hanging on in my memory after I close it. This behavior isn't bad on its own, the problem is that after few days (of not using the app at all) it ended up eating 10% of my CPU time.
Since killing the process manually after using the app isn't the experience I want to have when dealing with simple tool I ended up testing some alternatives.
Why not? Porn drove much of the storage technology and video codec technology forward we use today. Electronic trading drives much of the networking technology the world runs on today. As much as it is mostly scamming and haxx, there is some genuinely interesting computer science research happening around Byzantine fault tolerance and distributed systems in the blockchain space. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t legitimately moving the needle forward in tech we will all use eventually.

These are not even close to being the same, and you moving the conversation. Or, you're using words in a manner that the rest of us are not following.

Again, maybe saying something like 50% of American consumer computing or something, but the blanket statement as written and unqualified is just wrong.
Unreadable on mobile. Unreadable in reader mode on mobile. That takes talent. But not the kind of talent we can celebrate. They wrapped the whole wall of text in a PRE tag, which is user hostile and a poor way to use HTML. We solved this back in the early 1990s.

What I do: Fight it by being part of the solution rather than contributing to the problem by continuing to use these platforms. This is obvious, but the only thing that makes it the “primary” means of communication is the people using it. Don’t be one of those people, and tell your friends the preferred way to get in touch with you. If they are really your friends they will roll with it.

The pricing is sometimes based on negotiations which consider the cost of alternative sources of power, the operating cost of the plants, and refurbishments and maintenance it will need over the course of the contract term.
> >99% survive covid just fine

That's not a good survival rate, though the number sounds big.

> it's much more serious (whole percentage death rates), but that's because they're teetering on the brink already, and covid (or any number of respiratory diseases, really) can push them over the edge. our mitigations should focus on the aged and unhealthy, not everyone (especially not children).

The people at risk are not nearly all "teetering on the brink", nor have they died at this astounding rate from other causes. We could save their lives.

People are dying; and we can save them, and we could have saved many more. Blood is on the hands of the those who stood in the way.
Oh, absolutely. So many more important things follow a power law distribution and not a normal distribution.
Yes, yes! Your comment actually clarifies my point. I'm not saying money touched by the government gets evil magic attached to it that corrupts everything. I'm saying government money is allocated badly and corruptly by default. Except, America does a much better job, why?

In America these privately owned universities use their own money to hire the best people. Private money does an infinitely better job of selecting the best people than government money.

Then the government notes the historical success of these private institutions and sends funding their way, which the excellent individuals they chose can use to create excellent research. This system has made America produce orders of magnitude better science than the rest of the world put together.

My point is that the question of how the government can best direct money has already been solved. Let the private sphere decide who is the best.

I hated it and rallied against it for so long and couldn't understand why anyone liked it and then I learned this was a thing and it all suddenly made sense.
What I find problematic with websites like this is that the whole thing is based on an implicit assumption that there is a universal "good" and "evil" (probably from an anglophone westerner point of view), with no regard for personal, regional, and cultural differences.

Things are never that simple, and that assumption reeks of hubris.
The article isn't demanding that services be personalized. It's just saying that if they are going to personalize things, the user should have control over it, and not some obscure algorithm. It's like if you walked into Target and everything on the main floor was orange juice and socks because you happened to buy OJ and socks on your last visit. And every time you went back to Target, the shelves would be completely rearranged based upon your previous purchases. That's great if you buy the same 3 or 4 things every time. But then one day you go in there looking for a jumper for a nephew, and there's no discrete boys' section because it doesn't fit your single childless demographic. Just rows and rows of orange juice, and also apple juice which you hate, but it 94% matches your predicted preferences.

That's a great question. For "live" stuff, it seems to me that Pheonix brings so much joy and simplicity, I'd happy pay for memory and hopefully scale in a sustainable way. This is all theoretical until we get a successful app, but it's good to see the future paths :)

Yeah and I hate pirating. Don't get me wrong, I do it, but only because Disney+ isn't available in Cyprus while I'm traveling or what have you. I make triple what would put me in the 1% in Canada. I can easily afford to pay for content. It's only UX issue for me, not a resource constraint. I'm happy to fund creators, but please just make things easy, transparent, reliable, and high quality.

I can't count the number of times I've tried to pay for something legitimately only to have to resort to piracy because of one flaw or another. Disney (and similar) should be hosting weekly Ask HN posts to fix their cyber issues they're so obvious.
I can relate with what you wrote. I felt ilitirit tyring to be mean telling throwaway22032 who they are and what thier motives are without knowing them, probably to make themselves feel superior. It's a very junior high kind of show. And it's always usually wrong to ascribe motivations to someone you don't know.

So the above makes it really easy for me to ignore and discount ilitirit. But still it can hurt and illitirit knows that. That's the game and often I don't want to play either.
trans-ocean ships enabled the Age of Expansion (1500s) and were directly responsible for transporting gold from the Spanish New World back to Europe, by the ton. The question "what if there were no ships instead of lots of ships" is so far from the actual implementation of movement of goods and military power, that it is simply some kind of thought exercise.
As a absolute non-expert, the cancer deaths I have heard about seem to often include surgically removing the solid tumor but perishing due to metastasis - so in that regard, wouldn't a combination of surgery followed up by car-t be a reasonably reliable way of ensuring that the cancer gets actually eliminated?

That's a reasonable question. I don't know. As a ::before content some readers might issue a verbal hiccup, but they're generally never used in inline text; they're isolated in a div tag of their own as graphical elements, the way an SVG graphic would be. I'm struggling to think of a case where they'd ever need to be read out loud, but if there was you could add aria tags. It's usually used inside a header or float that isn't meant to be printed or read aloud.
I've always found the "include the old console in the new console" strategy for backward compatibility a really smart implementation idea.

Why? You either have it or you don't. Teach them to be relatable, the answer to “the price of a gallon of milk” or what most people earn a year, to pretend like “they got a deal on rent” when around their struggling friends. But there is literally no need to waste your time in that rat race out of pride, only out of necessity.

Its just not worth it from a time and lifestyle perspective.

Historical Funding Rates: A Study, with Implications for UXD’s Insurance Fund
No. That was absolutely not the original comment...

The comment which was being replied to talked about the garbage disposal eating the hand. It is possible in any situation to invent other branching scenarios based upon word play off the original intent.

Just look at what started it:

> I'd like to put my hand in the disposal and turn it on
so I can catch the lemon seed that's stuck down there
and pull it out.

I wouldn't do that, there isn't enough space in there for
your hand, a lemon seed is really small, and you will
probably lose one or more of your fingers.

That has nothing to do with glass being in the sink, dropping things on your foot, or any other made up scenario.
A downed power line is minor compared to Hurricane Sandy or the Great Texas Freeze. Who demonstrated resiliency during that time? The ones with Powerwalls and microgrids powered by gas/alternate storage systems kept the lights on in many places. The lesson is that reliance on a centralized grid can quickly turn into a big problem. Distributed and localized energy generation and storage is where the incentives should be placed.
The post describes it without saying it: arrogance.
Encrypted layers already exist in the current stack: MACsec for Ethernet or WPA et al for Wireless or 3G/4G since day one and so on for each option in the network/interface layer, IPsec for the network layer, TLS for transport layer, and after that you're in the application layer which can choose it's encryption.

The friction with getting the lower layers encrypted hasn't been lack of option to do so in the current stack it's convincing everyone to throw out their middlebox setups to allow the encrypted protocols universally. Well that and encryption is more expensive (both performance and implementation cost) so the less you can get away with the easier it is to convince people to do. If that were easy to get people to change the middleboxes then we wouldn't be in this situation in the first place.

This is one of the main reasons why everything is over HTTPS these days: it was the lowest layer universally deployed net new protocol that was encrypted from day 1 and didn't have to worry about ossification as much. It's far easier to just use that as the new base transport layer and ignore the problem, doing so with new encrypted protocols over UDP when the functionality you're trying to replace in your protocol is at the TCP level.
Given the low resolution and thus lack of detail, it's as close to an F16 Cranked Arrow shape as it is to a Draken IMO... And the size of an F-16 and Draken are very similar, so if the size estimates are wrong, it could as easily be an F-16 XL...
I feel like the implication is that people prevent you from customizing stuff for ego reasons, but isn't it a lot of code and testing to implement the personalization UI?

But thinking about it more, I suppose the answer is to let the users write their own clients. Netflix should have a JSON API that's a list of all the programs, and each record should contain a link to video file. They don't do that because of DRM and they specifically want to prevent you from writing a program that saves the downloaded bytes to disk. So I guess there is no way to achieve their business goals (make sure you pay $20/month forever to watch stuff, and make sure the "rights holders" get to sell you the same thing multiple times) without doing more work, which they simply chose not to do because they don't have to.

Going one level deeper, I guess that video streaming is a weird market. You could have the worst software and the best content and probably win. So you can't compete with Netflix by making a video streaming service that has more UI features. I guess what this means is that copyright is deterring innovation. I think I've heard that one before. Sigh!
