> I need to not use public npm.

In a previous iteration everything was designed to be self-hosted, but decided to focus on npm support because it made things much simpler. I'll be re-exposing the self-hosting, and private npm options as demand dictates.

> There is a way to control to what version auto updates?

Internally it supports some rich update rules. It is possible to generate apps that are pegged to a specific version (e.g. 1.0.7), or that will only update build updates (e.g. 1.0.), or minor updates (e.g. 1.). By default they don't update to pre-releases (e.g. 1.0.1-alpha.1), but this is configurable by the user.

I haven't documented this yet because I want to avoid confusion at the beginning as much as possible. There are dozens of variations that could be supported, but I'm trying to hit the 90% use case out of the box first...

> I need to avoid that the client app auto updates to the wrong version, before the server and the database are updated.

You could just bake that into your client (detect the server version). Alternatively, just wait until the server is updated before you publish the client update. This could be triggered in CI as well.
>to do something destructive

is growing corn a destructive activity on net? If it is, then we shouldn't just be cutting subsidies, we should be banning it outright. As it relates to this discussion (ie. "are republicans hypocrites because they're anti individual welfare but pro agricultural welfare"), we can safely assume that republicans don't think that and therefore aren't hypocrites. This is not to say whether growing corn is actually destructive or not, only that the republican view is at least self-consistent.

I think maybe your and my experiences have been very different. I think in some software industries networking expertise is not highly valued or important, but in all of the jobs I've had, actually understanding networking has been a super valuable skill.

I admit that in general I've never been The Network Expert, but I've had to wear the hat a few times and learn very quickly to get things done. In every situation where I've had to learn networking things quickly to get things done, I've later looked back and realized I had completely misunderstood or not known about a much better common networking concept/thing/implementation which would have been a better solution than the one I implemented.

Just having an earlier and more broad exposure to how networks work, and knowing about the details of a few (any!) areas of networking, would have been super valuable to me across each of the 4 companies I've worked for.

An example of true exponentials in real life: the maximum load force a capstan can support is literally exponentially greater than the holding force applied to the opposite end.
From the article:

> That said, I do not think there is much evidence that misinformation has become more widespread, that this increase in misinformation is due to technological change, or that it is at the root of the political trends liberals are most angry about.

I don't know if misinformation is at the root of the political trends liberals are most angry about, not least because it really depends on the author's definition of "liberal", a word that appears to have only pejorative meaning for most people now.

But it definitely is interesting to consider whether for example QAnon has spread more quickly than the conspiracy theories that led to the First World War, not least because QAnon hasn't yet started a war. Give it time.
I have a small apiary currently, so I understand the work and costs to a degree.

As a retirement "job", it could provide supplemental income. That's my goal.

If I'm not doing that, then what am I doing? I hate my job and don't see anything better. At least I could be physical rather than squander my health like my job requires now. Maybe make some money to cover hobby expenses, or use the land to save money by growing stuff for myself. Otherwise, I might as well sit in front of a TV in some suburban house while eating myself to death.
> It's not, as some people allege, that the government is particularly bad at things; the government is roughly as competent as any large corporation when it comes down to task execution. I've consulted both to private sector corps and the government, and the fundamental challenges are largely the same. Yes, government compensation structures (heavy on pensions) do tend to attract people in different phases of their careers and lives than, say, equity-heavy packages at a startup. But there's not much evidence linking this to performance.

I generally agree with the overall gist that large organizations are basically incapable of achieving excellent results.

However, having worked as an employee for both large corps and government, I see two or three attributes that cut against government being effective.

1. Private industry is mission oriented whereas government is process-oriented. Government bureaucracies value adherence to process above all, regardless of what they create or impede. It's all process all the way down. Even when large, ossified firms make process a centerpiece of management, they still ultimately are attempting to pursue a mission.

2. The government's culture is homogenous and based on a mythos about "serving something bigger than yourself," whereas each firm in industry tends to have some more concrete aspirational statement.

3. Government always has many more people on the critical path who can seriously impede work, because they're hard to get rid of or move out of the way, whereas private companies would have no problem firing such people.

On the whole, I think even the largest monopoly firms would tend to be at least a few degrees more efficient than government just for missional focus and the ability to remove bad performers. If a competitive firm were to be as (in)efficient as government, it would die.

However, communication, internal politics and management are major challenges for any organization at scale. It really is a difference of degrees, not orders of magnitude.
Why are other grains better for society? If Iowa, Illinois, and Nebraska farmed Rye instead, we'd be putting Rye based ethanol in our gas instead.
In the case of pretending to be someone else, I'd say this is the very definition of gross misconduct.
Appreciate the insight, that's really good to know! It's one of those things that's been bugging me every once in a while when I think back to it.

Also, does today's update apply to GovCloud regions as well or just Commercial for now?

Did you look at the portfolio? It's linked in my profile. Over 40 repos (single-source), dozens of articles (also single-source), etc.

It would be mighty hard to fake, and even a quick shufti will tell you that. My code and my writing has a very distinctive style.

It was -quite literally- the equivalent of a little kid, sticking their fingers in their ears, singing "lalalalaaaaaa-I-can't-hear-yoooouuu-lalalalaaaaaa."

Sadly, the StackOverflow Story will be going the way of the dodo, soon, so I'll have to rebuild it, manually. Pain in the ass. Since I'm no longer bothering to look for work, it won't be a priority.
>Having looked at a few games' source code, are there really any complex games with pretty code?

Games don't have the same maintenance requirements as a web application. They are made, shipped, played, and forgotten. So code cleanliness is generally an afterthought. And honestly, most indie game developers are not great programmers. But making a great game has very little to do with programming nowadays. The tooling has come so far that many hit indie games are now built using "no-code" solutions like Unreal Blueprints. And advertising that you hand coded the entire game in C with immaculate coding standards wont make it any more fun.
We're going to the beach? I thought we were talking about reading books.
If you’re < 50% then your space planner will probably stop allocating you a permanent desk in the office. For many people electing a WFH option that’s the big change, but a “Work Site” change can trigger all sorts of other effects, tax implications and visa implications (on H-1 and similar).
> Just look at keyboard-gate to prove that, by design, Apple doesn't care about user productivity. I personally have a work issued 2019 16-inch MBP and it drives me insane.

One instance, which they fixed. Shall we enumerate the issues with the rest of the brands?

Interestingly your rage is what made that take so long in the first place. Engineers like to claim the sky is falling because their keyboard feels weird. How can anyone take someone like that seriously?

> Before this laptop, I'd never had to make sure my AC was turned on before I took Zoom meetings. With this thing, if the ambient temperature is over about 25 C, the CPU throttles to 1GHz and I get about 2 frames per second.

They aren't, though.

The number of "apps" which attempt to mimic a native application like Photopea are miniscule, as are the number of purely static HTML based sites. Most of the web combines both paradigms in ways that aren't easily separable.
I took a couple of sales training courses. One was an intro course for non-sales staff, and the other was for B2B selling with a longer sales cycle. Both very much helped with the social interaction side of selling, and the second one was very useful for structuring marketing approach and material.

Nope. Was hoping this article enumerated a few, and made some sort of compelling argument to the contrary, but it didn't.

EVE is kinda different than most other MMORPGS, I guess that's why it's hard to compare.

I mean, of course it shares certain elements, but it's not a lot of RPG (except parts of the character progression) and just not "fantasy + walking around" makes it a non-starter for a huge part of the classical MMO player base.

> I wonder what you all are using for EFS?

Quick and easy way to store the user uploads of a CMS like Drupal. Deploy the application itself via either Beanstalk, EKS/ECS or on an EC2 server, point the database to RDS and mount the sites/xxx/files directory from EFS.
My fave section on this is “Birthdays I’ve Been To”
My startup that was successful was bootstrapped by us founders, so it just seems like a lack of network, I apply through different programs but I think a more personal touch seems neccessary if "friends and family" rounds are not possible.

Some people have said they found git more intuitive and easier; its not something objective.

> That said, size of manual doesn't seem compelling. The men page for ls, as an example, would make that seem a very tough command to use.

Sure; it's just indicative of complexity, and therefore, ease-of-use.
A lot of off topic advice in this thread. OP was interested in Employability:

>I'd like to ask you for advice on how to make the most out of the time during my studies, so that I won't have trouble with employment.

So the absolute best advice is to get into Internships early and often during your time in University. It's the most foolproof way to be employed by the time you finish. You will have the most important skill employers look for in this field. EXPERIENCE. You could stack 3-4 internships by the time you finish and if you are doing one when you graduate and you weren't horrible it's almost certain your current employer will hire you full time and if not you already have a stout CV to shop to other employers.

TLDR: Get an Internship ASAP!
FYI, the word “illegal” doesn’t appear in the article.

I’m not super familiar with all the intricacies of firearms law in Canada, but nothing there looks like it would be illegal to own there. A few are “restricted”.
Quite an insightful comment!
"it depends on the type of lifestyle you're willing to have"

Not just oneself, but entire nations. Scarcity of resources have historically been a major cause of wars. I don't see the world coming to a consensus on lifestyle any time soon.
I think that's what the GP means by centralized control becoming worse. That is, information is less centralized now, and the sources that used to be at the center are now complaining about the issue.
Right in the screenshot I see a rockbox bug. The analogue clock shows a quarter to eight, the digital clock shows 20:43.
That is merely being explicit about what is implicit otherwise. When you are being explicit, there is at least the possibility that these declarations could be scoped - and, in many languages, this is something you can do.
Was it necessary to say "of course it looks sooo ugly" before delivering your feedback? This sort of phrasing isn't constructive, and taints the rest of your message.

When I was younger, I thought it was enough that I was speaking the truth, even if I phrased things harshly. I'd think to myself "they should listen to what I have to say, because I'm correct. If they don't like how I phrased it, that's their problem." Unfortunately, humans aren't robots. If you're going to deliver harsh feedback, it's important to do it in a way where the other person is likely to accept the message you're trying to communicate. Otherwise, you may as well have not sent any message at all.
But Berlusconi's (finivest/mediaset) ownership of Il Giornale and 3 of 7 TV channels makes that all a little less relevant due to political manipulation, doesn't it?

Absolutely. I'd have also thought it was criminal fraud. My comment was meant to be about the general case of firing people in the UK.
I've done this.

I had to add sleep calls because the client had a simple resource consumption monitor that would complain if anything used more than 80% of the machine's CPU. Arguably a stupid policy; arguably simple enough to work.

Some time later, the client wanted the script to finish faster...so the sleep calls were deleted, and they changed their resource monitor.
On the other hand ... What's wrong, if your wealth distilled to the limits of abstraction dies with you?

The F-word (I'll spare your virgin eyes), or even the letter F, is not capable of conveying hostility on it's own, so there is no sense in omitting it.
I think it is more useful to describe the situations where:

- accusing someone of lying has no restraining impact on the person or the lie, and indeed where it might have a magnifying effect

or

- the lie is being shared by someone who has been lied to and does not know it; they aren't a liar but they are misinformers.

Calling the "Covid hasn't even been isolated" misinformation a lie, for example, requires knowing that the teller is aware they are lying. They could simply be credulous.
>I genuinely don't understand why anyone would work here or put up with this.

While the special instructions incidents were horrific, particularly to someone like me who wants to do the right thing and their brain seizes up with such insanity, they were eventually resolved.

Finally they instituted a policy where instructions were reviewed by a group of senior account managers every 90 days. Whomever wrote them had to justify them, or they were simply deleted. That actually turned out to be a great process as many out of date instructions were auto deleted without anyone doing anything.

As for the job, it was actually a great job. The support team was amazing, supportive, it paid great, and the company weathered a lot of economic downturns easily. If anything the special instructions incident demonstrated how even a great organization can go bonkers insane.
Hm, I’m not sure where you got the idea that HN was primarily about discussing articles, because that is in no way true.
> The big question is whether it is closer to the 0 or closer to the 18.

And to be sure, there is no one-size-fits-all answer. What the number is probably depends on the task at hand--though I would argue that (all other things being equal) it's probably closer to 0 than 18 for any job.
+1 for Fastmail "just works". It's a bargain, has great UX, and all the features I could think of.
Was she rewarded for any of that additional effectiveness?

Given how workplaces seem to be structured and how little time you will spend in q job, I don't see a reason to be anything but technologically effective (and only so far as I am learning something), as it will be my interviewing skills that get me to the next level at another company.
I wonder would people want to bundle their subscriptions. For example you could bundle them so they synergize with each other and the same time reduce cost for consumer e.g. News bundle(NYT, WSJ etc.), Gaming bundle(WoW, PCGamer, chess.com), Entertainment bundle(Spotify, Netfix, Disney+) etc.
> One of the most effective engineers I worked with spent her first month here very intentionally taking every single one of her new co-workers out to coffee

I've heard of companies assigning people to walks. The idea is you go for a 20 minute walk with a random person (until you've gone with everyone), and you're supposed to talk about your job and how its going etc etc. You're also getting a break from the office, some fresh air, and some physical activity.
The competitor solitaired.com is doing over 6 millions views a month and has similar ads. My guess is they could be making over 150,000 a month from ads.
This is astonishingly illegal.

What needs to happen is for someone who has a report to make to contact the state attorney general and say "because this company is profiting from child pornography with no reporting mechanism, they have lost their safe harbor protection, and are complicit."

Companies like this need to be taught at the metaphorical end of a rifle.

I can agree with doing away with or changing the subsidies, but the rest of your comment, unilaterally declaring meat to be bad, corn syrup to be universally bad, and for some reason declaring that "organic" whatever that means today, makes something better somehow, is just a bunch of today's talking points.
Because game code is "throw away" = don't assume you are making a sequel = there's no reason to make it maintainable. You write it as fast as you can to fulfil the requirements. Stuff like unit/system tests are a waste of time because it's cheaper to hire people to manually press buttons.

Yes I know this sounds bad - but that's how the games industry works. And is one of the reasons I left.

Note that if you are working in engine code, then you want all the automated tests, proper architecture, etc.
> Yes, it was magical and unbounded, but it didn't represent reality at all. You couldn't really 'share', nothing went viral, nothing had societal impact.

Memes could easily go viral on big decentralized platforms like Usenet, even in the early days. And their real-world impact increased gradually over the 1990s and 2000s, before reaching current levels with the mainstream adoption of smart mobile phones for Internet access, and big social media sites "pivoting" to take advantage of such.
Way back when I read The Hydrogen Economy, the author claimed something like 4 calorie investment for every calorie we pulled out of the ground for ethanol. I think is more a criticism of the Nixon era green revolution, when large scale chemical fertilizers came into use, since these are largely petro chemical products.

As a student, you have a sort of hidden super power! As a student, you are able to reach out and ask people for all sorts of help, advice, resources and have them usually want to help you out.

In my experience (YMMV), most people like/want to help out go-getter students. As a student you might reach out to a professor who's work you find interesting to do a collaboration, or for support if your personal project is aligned with their research. You can reach out to companies or individuals for sponsorship for various student activities, etc.

My advice would be to put yourself out there as much as you can while you are a student, since your student status combined with the right attitude can open many doors that are harder to open post-graduation.
