This is another half-ass attempt to preempt someone saying something pointed and true by subtly tweaking their intent until it's possible to try and interpret it—or rather: deliberately misinterpret it—as saying something that it isn't. Join your friend. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30265930> This kind of defense mechanism gets old.

Beauty has nothing to do with the criticism here. (You seem to have missed, for example, the "and unnecessary" part of the comment; people put in work to make things look this bad.) And "as long as the information is clear" is not a bar that most of the kinds of slides that are under attack can pass. That's in fact the entire point of the criticism.

Somehow other industries outside semi (involving really successful companies filled with technical people who also don't prioritize aesthetics) are able to put together something for people to read by simply... writing shit down (you know: something that actually does involve reading), instead of relying on dodgy PowerPoint slides (that of course don't involve reading so much—but do often involve suffering).

Besides that, the statement that "Semiconductor industry is almost all B2B" is a combination of nonsense (i.e., wrong) and irrelevant. The majority of the semiconductor industry where this kind of material plagues the average worker's day is employee2employer.
I've read that people ride more dangerously, and are tested by car drivers less carefully, when wearing a cycle helmet. Perhaps there's a similar effect here -- I think we do tend to rely on safety equipment and ignore due diligence.

"Normal" people are slowly but surely starting to care about encryption. They hear about it from people participating in self-referential bubbles like HN and then they start wondering. This is my experience.
To answer the question asked, yes it’s real.

The answer to the question not asked (based on this accounts posting history) is that if you want to learn to deal with it and your life successfully, you should see a therapist specializing in adhd. Many people are scared of therapy because it seems like an admission you’re broken or that their issues “aren’t that bad”. It’s not like that. Think of it like going to the gym to improve, not to a mechanic to be fixed.

See the comment from davzie, it can be a unique advantage for you and how you approach life and work.

But yes, it is very real and plenty of people have a specific set of characteristics and behaviors that are unique and associated with one another. That’s generally what disorders like that are. Some social media (esp TikTok I’ve found) tend to push a narrative and are often full of factually incorrect people trying to be “relatable” for likes/views. It’s good you’ve been diagnosed, hopefully by someone with true knowledge on the matter. There are tons of resources available online and offline that you can reference. Again, a therapist can be a great resource. They talk to lots of people who experience the same thing as you, and can provide insight into what works for others (eg to get through long video/content like another question you asked here). The solution is not always medication, but you shouldn’t be scared of it regardless.
Or more consizely, no matter where you go, the person most able to make you feel like shit will be there...

I have nowhere called them end-to-end encrypted Backups, that's a straw man.

> Regarding the security theater, the backups encrypted with your password are far more vulnerable to being compromised than any of the popular e2e encryption protocols.

How, so?
Are you aiming weak passwords? (One is provided for you ("security key"), however you can opt into a custom one that is not directly used for encryption ("security passphrase"))?
Or are you referring to PFS, which isn't a property of all popular e2e protocols either, and "far" would be quite a stretch.

How does all that disprove that Element uses true e2ee?

A long time ago I saw a rather good behind the scenes of Aladdin.

I was quite surprised to see that after writing the script they had stand-in actors do the entire script, which they then did animatics (storyboards times to the recorded audio) to, after which they edited the story. Only then did final actors record. Then redo animatics and editing before doing final animation.

Imagine my surprise watching the documentary on Hayao Miyazaki, where he has a 100 animators working on final animation, while he is still storyboarding, undecided on the ending of the movie and hasn’t even casted the voice actors!
Yes?

It's a false dichotomy, we have the full English language at our disposal, so we can describe the nuances of the situation. I know the situation you're referencing, and it's frustrating to see the argument boil down to some kind of lexical 'gotcha!'.

The problem with "every string is Unicode" is if you want to represent things that look like unicode but aren't really guaranteed to be unicode. This includes filenames on Windows (WTF-18 aka arbitrary WCHAR sequences) and Linux (arbitrary byte sequences) that are interpreted as UTF-16 / UTF-8 for display purposes but limiting yourself to valid UTF-16 / UTF-8 means that you cannot represent all paths that you might come across.
Sorry, I coudn't parse most of that, perhaps you can include an example?
That's a pain. My VW stereo is similar, but it has a "Maximum start-up volume" setting which gets around this.

Nice game and execution!

Can't thank you enough for letting me arrange the letters before I use them for a solution. No idea how others feel here, but for that's the difference between "this is fun" and "this is so incredibly hard I will stop at the first puzzle". One can argue that this is a different kind of difficulty level, keeping your 'used' letters in your head.

One small nitpick: Sometimes I was doubleclicking a (correct) letter and it was moving towards the red dot, but just before it locked in, it came back and I had to drag it there. I was playing this on a very slow machine though.

With that logic, everything is capped by the network speed.

Hmm? How so? Surely this depends on the strength of your password.

>Businesses generally aren't looking for perfect code.

Mostly you don't want that, but there are a few industries where its jackpot. For instance building some state control engine for rockets etc. Also Haskell does not force you to write perfect code, but forces you to write code that is considering all the possible outcomes, so even if you handwave some stuff it will be pretty clear to everyone reading you handwaved some stuff.
The problem is pretty much never the bandwidth. It is nearly always the boneheaded way nearly static content is generated.

ADHD is a thing. Every brain is different.

Think about it like this: depression is real. Everyone can feel a bit "depressed" sometimes or grieve after experiencing emotional hardships, but that doesn't mean depression isn't real.

Also much like depression doesn't simply manifest in being sad all the time, ADHD doesn't simply manifest in being distracted all the time. I've heard ADHD described as an inability to control what your brain focuses on rather than a lack of focus, but it can vary between persons.

As to whether you in particular actually "have ADHD" (i.e. meet the formal diagnostic criteria of the DSM condition by that name) that's between you and your therapist to decide.
Not sure how many people had players and media capable of audio-book length in the 90s.. They used to come on compact cassttes, multiple of them..

Consuming media in the 90s is more about watching flow tv, reading books and magazines and listening to music on physical media.
You're absolutely right, I just sort of assumed it would be easily available.

Nothing specific, I wanted an overview of the whole thing. I guess the question I'm asking myself is "What would I need to know if I wanted to setup a fab from the ground up?" Which materials are used and where they come from, the different types of companies that would need to be involved and why (e.g. ASML) and so on.

But honestly, I don't really know much. So an intro to semiconductor manufacturing that could be read by a plain old software engineer would also be great.

> People that specialize in mental health, psychiatry and brain research have concluded that ADHD is a diagnosable mental disorder. I'm glad they're doing that instead of trying to write books on rust or go.

Except the problem with the mental health industry is famously that the 'specialists' don't actually listen to the patients/clients/etc., and operate on wildly inaccurate and outdated views that ultimately end up harming those they are "treating".

Yes, ADHD is real, but "because a bunch of psychiatrists said so" is very much not the reason. And the specific way in which they describe it generally has almost nothing to do with what ADHD really is or how it's experienced by those who have it.
> If anything else like us existed and it was possible to exist like us for a long period they'd have filled every planet before we ever evolved

Yeah because you know exactly what alien civilization would have done right? Because that's what you would do, as a human. We are talking about aliens and we don't know what they would be like so assuming that they would think like us is just stupid.
I would say one just plays, and builds things in pre-existing frameworks (Software Developer)... And Software Engineer, makes new things or new frameworks from scratch. Both are capable of programming though, it's the level at which they operate. As for the title themselves to HR, I don't think it really matters they think you can create "The Next Facebook" in 5 minutes.
I'd recommend giving https://gekk.info/articles/adhd.html a read, and seeing whether that sounds like something you can identify with. I've found it invaluable, personally, to answer this question for myself.
> and the number of rendered grapheme clusters

This is also rarely useful unless you are working with a monospace font where all grapheme clusters have the same width, which is probably none if you support double-width characters. More likely what you are interested in is the display length with a particular font or column count with a monospace font.
Whilst I agree equity % alone doesn't give you a picture of the value of those options, what it does communicate is whether it's the kind of company that actually gives out meaningful equity, which is useful information.

OsmAnd and also Organic Maps are great, I have them installed and use them regularly, specially for non-commercial walks, like parks, etc. But Google Maps has much more information on restaurants, bars, shops, hospitals, post offices, pharmacies, hotels, carshops, etc... And the reviews are also priceless when browsing restaurants. Also navigation wise, knowing speed limits, current traffic (I know, I know, the paradox of data sharing), toll-free roads, searching for exact addresses are much much better on Google Maps. For me, of course!
Having worked on similar software in the past, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the actual reason. Especially since the microphone indicator is a relatively new addition to the system, they might just have never realized that they're not closing the device properly and now that it becomes obvious, it might not be so trivial to fix the code.
It is real. I was diagnosed late (30s), and have been on medication for about a month now and the difference is staggering:

* My mind is silent without stimulus. I no longer desperately crave to cram every living second with input, I am OK with sitting down and doing nothing for a while.

* I now live up to my own standards: if I think that I should do something, I am way more likely to do it (tidying, running errands, making phone calls etc).

* Sloppiness and "I'll do that later"-isms are severely reduced, I tend to finish what I start.

* I no longer interject or interrupt people with tangential trivia when an idea pops into my head.

* I can listen to other people for longer, even if I find the subject boring.

For the first time in my life, I am able to function like other people without having to rely on innate ability and motivation to do basic tasks.

The solution to every issue isn’t medication, and many people deal with adhd without medication. In fact, adhd meds are some of the hardest to get due to laws restricting their distribution (in us at least).

That sounds like a situation where you copy what other people do without a good reason to do so.
I don't know much about the situation in Texas but where I live (Australia) the typical situation - it differs from one state to another - is that you have a semi-deregulated market but with ceilings on rates "to avoid price gouging".

This means that it is basically illegal to provide a capacity for backup power that is only used intermittently. This is because the backup power needs to be priced high to justify having it sitting there all year doing mostly nothing.

Having banned a market solution, governments then stepped in to overcome the "market failure" by running and funding their own backup power supplies.

I really miss how you could assign drive names to disks too, so you might have some reference to a file on a particular disk and it would prompt you to insert that specific disk (into any convenient floppy drive) and if you got the wrong disk it would know and ask you again.

Otoh I don't miss all the swapping between the 5 floppies that SAS C compiler came on before I finally got my hands on a humongous 40 megabyte hard drive.

Also remember how the drives would click every second to check if you had actually inserted anything and how there was some freeware anticlick program on one of the Fish disks that reconfigured to somehow work without the annoying clicky noise. (Or you could just feed it a disk). Fun times.

Well, you're conflating two things there - a unified filesystem starting at /, and the pattern of organization that puts all runnable binaries into one location.

The filesystem, on unix-like systems, is a namespace that contains every resource on the system (everything is a file). / is the root of the namespace. There is no good reason for a particular physical disk used to store some data to be at the root of the namespace; it's an implementation detail, and maybe not even the correct implementation detail. You might want to back a particularly weighty location with a larger disk, or a faster disk, or you might even want to run your system entirely off NFS. The filesystem abstracts all that away from applications. You can arrange your data physically however you like, and with a few lines in fstab, only the lowest levels of the OS need to know about it. You can also change all this on the fly. Contrast with Windows, where running out of space on disk C - THE disk, decided at installation and forever unchangeable - is a catastrophe, and there's no way of moving a weighty program to another disk without "reinstalling" it.
For me at least: I cannot go for a run or do sports with a smartphone attached to my arm or in my pocket. It's just too uncomfortable.
