I don't think that's necessarily true, in fact I think what happens more often is the idea of a 4 day work week is dismissed by people such as yourself as it doesn't equally apply to everyone. A 5 day work week as is common now doesn't work for hospitality staff, for example. Does that mean that we should all work 4pm-3am Saturday shifts because that's when nightclub staff work? Of course not. do we argue that because patients in hospitals require 24/7 care that we all take up 4on-4off 12 hour shifts?

The argument for the 4 day workweek is that _many_ jobs would be performed just as efficiently as if they were 5 days per week, so they might as well be. If there was a compelling argument that hospital patients required 16 hours of care per day rather than 24, you can bet people would be suggesting dropping doctor and nurse shifts to 4x8 or 5x8 rather than 4x12 or whatever insanity they're doing right now.
This is me. And honestly, as a full stack web dev who skews front-end, I've never felt this strong urge mentioned in TFA.
No plots and statistics (well, maybe, but I've not used them if there are there). But DBeaver is nice to browse a database.

For SQLite databases, I use sqlitebrowser.

Both tools are open source.
Thanks. I was looking at a quick youtube review and it seems they hadn't figured this out yet.
Most 16 year olds are physically adults. They don't have the experience and wisdom/common-sense of older adults, but at some point you have to let people develop that.
Seems like an odd convention they are using. A pile of header files rather than using polymorphism and creating a class to handle everything. Lots of if else's.

Might have to jump in a little further to see if there's a good reason for this.
You can Google the ROE change. It's public information if you don't believe me.

ROE doesn't apply to drones, it applies to troops on the ground. Drones are usually acting in a couple capacities (this is not dogma, just my experience)

1. Intel gathering

2. Troop support

3. intelligence resources

Intelligence resources, and all things State Department, would fly cleanly outside of DOD mandates or procedures. To my knowledge, they have their own set of criteria that was very different from what I had to abide by.
The article mentions MS-DOS 6.3 as the latest standalone version, but I can't find anything about it anywhere.

PC-DOS had a 6.3, but as far as I know, MS-DOS only went to 6.22 before going to 7 (which was not shipped standalone).
No kidding. I did concrete for a single summer. Software engineering barely counts as work compared to that.
Here in Russia, tobacco advertising has been completely banned since 2013 (in all forms), and if you look at the statistics, the market has since shrinked from 346 bln cigarettes/year in 2013 to 240 bln in 2020. But I'm not sure how much of the difference is attributable to the ban, because apparently there was already a trend for a decrease in cigarette consumption between 2010 and 2013, also in the meantime the government has been increasing the tobacco tariffs every year. Additionally vaping has been on the rise lately, especially among teens/young adults, it's not included in the statistics.
Thank you for asking. I am avoiding being specific because of doxxing concerns. Suffice it to say, there's subreddits with that term in it, and that word appears all over Reddit.

It doesn't really matter because I don't care enough about Reddit anymore. There's better communities for freedom of speech where you will not get blocked or banned when you don't express the same exact opinions in lock-step with everybody else. Reddit can have their corporate advertising friendly safe space.
Did this behavior start with the coda of Office Space or has it always been a thing?

A big aspect of Marxism is that labor has been alienated from their production in the age of industrialization, so I’d say it’s been a thing for a while.
In a perfect world, such a patent would be used to ensure nobody does this.
building a public cloud is more or less a rebuild of any infrastructure you currently have. it would be just unwise for a company to build their private cloud with the same trade offs as public cloud.

so while there’s the ideal state of running amazon on a large multi tenant cloud, there was absolutely no safe and reasonable path to making that happen by extending the existing infra. it would’ve also hampered aws by forcing them to focus way too large way too early.
That sounds a bit harsh. Did OP break their moral compass, or did they just give the wrong person the benefit of the doubt?
I for one will continue to use it… it took me a while to hit the sweet spot of note taking v. note organizing.

For me the right mix was essentially replacing my physical Bullet Journal with Roam. The big value add for me is that I can see my todos in the context of their creation. I often create a task directly within my notes for a meeting. I can tag it inline to link to a specific day/month it, and then later on find the context of the task (the meeting notes). That’s a big help because I’m not always great at writing down details on the “why” of a task - so seeing the back link to the context that created the task is awesome.
There exist automatic wheel spoking machines, typically used for mass produced bikes. If I buy a new bike the first thing I do is check the spoke tension because for sure it will be a huge mess. The next is to check the fork bearings because those will usually be too tight (you can feel the individual balls) or too loose (a clicking sound when you hold the front brake and rock the bike back and forth). The joke here is that when you buy a bike it's more work than building one yourself because you first have to take it apart again. That's obviously not true but I've seen some pretty bad stuff come out of factories (brand names too...).

One recent weird thing on a brand new bike was a set of spokes that had the inside and the outside exchanged leading to all of the spokes rubbing gaps in each other. I still wonder what the story was about that one, it makes absolutely no sense at all that an error like that would be made in a mass produced bike and no sane bike mechanic would spoke a wheel like that.
On the other hand being a mechanic is a very high skill trade.
INTERAC now lets you set up auto deposit - simply go to your bank’s online banking portal and register your email and from then on any incoming transactions go to whatever account you chose. Very handy! No more “security questions”

They’re also rolling out support for phone numbers as identifiers in addition to email addresses but my bank doesn’t seem to support sending to phone numbers (or registering mine as auto deposit) yet.

That has been my journey. Each one improves on the other.

The big downfall of roam, I suspect, will be that the thing they've created is reproducible by others.

It's a great tool though. I just don't think there is mote around it. The next thing will incorporate its advances.
This isn't some theoretical thing. Countries with sane laws around this see far lower recidivism rates, today.

No, it's not that bad. Not at all.

There is some truth in that, but think of the incredible value just in your smart phone. It's a:
- weather forecaster
- GPS
- phone
- news source
- email client
- gigantic resource library
- pedometer
- entertainment provider. Music, videos, etc.
- and on and on.

All this in a little device owned by even people of modest means. It's a miracle!

Social media lets you stay in touch with friends and relatives. You can make connections that would be impossible just a few years ago.

Our lives are so much better. Sure, there is some trash, too. But rise above that, open your eyes to all the good. It's a wonderful time to be alive.
Yes, free beer usually "wins" the party.
In France, since 1991 tobacco advertising is banned and still we have 30% of people smoking everyday. It is also taxed at 80% and forbidden in public places

> They had a ton of spare resources that they only needed once in a while and figured out a way to make use of them.

Not actually the case. AWS was a completely independent stack (from hardware on up) - we couldn't use it internally for quite some time (years); and even then, only in a limited fashion (e.g. only S3 for some time)
I am in my early 40s and have been a software engineer my entire career. Lately, I can't bring myself to care about this or that new framework, but I have spent hundreds of hours watching electrician videos on YouTube and have been joking with my wife that I'm going to quit my job and become an apprentice electrician.

So, yeah. This resonates.

But recently I watched a video where a guy had to do his ten millionth ceiling fan install and he had some particular trouble getting to where he needed to be in the customer's attic and he was filthy and hot and probably bored by this stupid task he'd done a million times and in that moment I realized I was idealizing and over-extrapolating from the excitement of learning a new skill.

Learning to wire my own house was fun and interesting. I don't want to do it every day for strangers.
I agree with what you're saying completely and have said so on HN in the past. It's my opinion that Rust won't break through the embedded world until the toolchains are there and I don't see an incentive for the vendors to do that work in the first place.
> I’ve wondered in the past if it biases language design towards compiler-writing.

Yeah this a "well know" problem.

In fact, you will ALWAYS bias the language for what is your ACTUAL first "major" project.

However, I think that "make langs" is in itself a very good thing to be able to do in any lang, even if is high-level, business oriented (a lot of work is alike!) and is only when you wanna to mimic the C-abi or marry with C/C++ (like full integrate LLVM) where things will go sideways (and I bet: Is more a fault of C here, than "making compilers")
That is a good point that it is not like many other factors that affect evolution. I think there could be an evolutionary impact if the high cost of resources for one tribe, in tribe versus tribe competition, or a family, in family versus family competition, put the tribe or family at a disadvantage.
Interesting. I've had this happen even with good materials and I totally agree that compromising on materials makes no sense. Even so, it doesn't hurt to check things periodically so they don't sneak up on you.

I recently re-spoked my s-pedelec because I didn't like the spoke brand and nipples used, that thing is too heavy and too fast to take any chances with.

A local grocery store put a one-way gate at the entrance recently. It makes a really annoying beep when people approach it from the wrong direction that's audible across the whole store. I asked a cashier about it and she said a group had come in a few times, grabbed a bunch of meat and then ran out the door.

What I thought was interesting was that they ran past the alcohol section to get to the steaks. I would have thought alcohol was both more fungible and more durable. There must be some finely-tuned specialized meat fencing operation or something.
You don't see them medevac-ing the enemies, so they are not neutral.

A big reason for medevac is to free soilders from caring for the wounded, so they can continue firing weapons at you.

Neutral seems like a crazy idea to me. It's a critical part of the offense.

> When ambitious people can't be stakeholders in the economy due to NIMBY gatekeepers, they resort to less socially-acceptable means of getting ahead and making it big

I don't ever remember thinking of drug dealers at any school I went to as "ambitious". Some drug _users_, yes, but they never stole stuff to fund their drug habit. It was more like recreational, responsible alcohol for them. And now that we all have careers it's pretty clear who was actually ambitious and who wasted their parents' money.
if you have the right company setup, headcount, and culture then you can absolutely build a world where teams can be allowed to force “perfection” over time, even with amazing levels of automation.

i think the interesting thing is that while you’d think that is the ideal everyone should strive for, the reality is that’s inapplicable or detrimental to run most businesses that way.
I'm not excluding you from the discussion in the slightest. You've made assertions and I've engaged with those assertions. Because, despite whatever little wisdom I've gained from age, I'm still curious and interested in learning from different perspectives.

You've ignored the majority of what I've said, including everything about how age is not a bright dividing line between the wise and the foolish.

Evidently you want to keep believing what you believe. So, go ahead and do that. I really can't stop you and don't wish to.

I hear you. Sorry you think its a shallow view! but I thank you for your thoughts. I have done some plumbing of my own - I can personally verify that I never felt comfortable - always contorted!

Managers/foremen etc are asses the world over. I was really addressing the work. And I thought I picked a pretty unpleasant example in dirty toilets!

I contrast the work you do with work I have done. I was making a moral point.

I have worked in financial and other institutions. I really see no value in what I have contributed. If I achieved something, its that the shareholders of those institutions were happier in being able to squeeze a bit more life-force for themselves from others. I helped the fat cats get a little fatter.

BTW - I think you wreck your body sitting in front of a machine all day. I accept that coding is not as overtly dangerous though!
There is a big difference between 'not overtensioned' vs 'slack'. Obviously the latter is going to get you in trouble. But simply don't overdo it, err on the side of caution and don't try to go for maximum tension before things break unless you really know what you are doing. Because they will break if you are not 100% certain that you are still under the limit.

I think the big difference between your use case and mine is simply that I don't have the luxury of rebuilding my wheels every three weeks but they have to last for years. I'm sure that if you treat them as disposables that you can get much closer to the limit, but the bike shop where I worked built ordinary bikes for ordinary people, and then long term reliability is far more important than to squeeze the last little bit of stiffness out of a wheel, though I can see that even in that case there might be some gain from being able to do that.

Keep in mind that this was - and in many places still is - a pretty low tech affair and broken spokes on a bike through normal use on a properly maintained bike in principle should not happen. Usually that indicates that either something got abused, badly mounted or left without maintenance for too long.
It's just that a slippery slope can be constructed for any problem. The ability to universally construct a slippery slope results in absurd conclusions. Either no changes can be effected(a universal maintenance of the status quo), or slippery slopes are an invalid method at making conclusions. That's why they are categorically uninteresting.

I'll use this conversation as an example to demonstrate the absurdity. If you accept someone's argument on one topic then you may find yourself agreeing with other things they say including some terrible conclusions. Therefore, it's better to never accept anyone's argument. There are much better ways to discern whether to accept or reject an argument.
> The economy of the late 70s was a nightmare.

And that was Carter's fault? I think you give him to much blame (or credit depending on your point of view).

the idea that one person can have such rapid effects seems to me to be one of the most pernicious in politics.

The causes of many of those late 70s problems were much earlier than Carter's presidency, And the oil crisis was largely over by then anyway.
>> I know there are many benefits to self-hosting, but I’ve wondered in the past if it biases language design towards compiler-writing

Well I've been waiting for ANY language to embrace 2d, 3d, and 4d vectors as basic types (probably the wrong word). They map perfectly to modern vector registers in SIMD hardware and they are fundamental to all forms of graphics, from text rendering to 3d games, to CAD and any type of physical simulation software. It just seems like language designers figure "anyone can create a type like that with our generic building blocks" and somehow, if we're lucky the compiler will figure out and generate optimal code for it. Oh never mind that different code bases will call these fundamental data types different thing - Vec3, vec3, vector, and have different implemntations, making modules non-reusable across projects...

Yes, language designers and compiler writers are usually very smart people but they do have biases and blind spots just like everyone else. It think Rust is turning out so good because they really spent like 10 years getting it "right".
The lengths they went through were mind-boggling to me until he mentioned he has 9 figures sitting in a public wallet. Then it made a lot of sense. At first I thought he had maybe a few hundred thousand, partly because he was happy to accept the free help from a stranger.

Ask HN: Vulnerability Research in 2032?
Hi HN,

I've always been curious about bug hunting. Finding vulns. I have some foundational knowledge like fuzzing, basic web security and reading assembly, but I am also aware of all the improvements in software and web security and there are so many new tech stacks, languages and platforms these days. Where does one begin? Is it worth learning how to find memory safety vulns given how C and friends are dying (and when they are alive things like CFG and appguard make it impossible to exploit them)?

Are there any modern books or sites you recommend? Should I be leaning some language (rust/go?) or stack (k8s?) as a prerequisite?
You just wrote, "We were not sure about the extent of the damage". So yes, you did need to pay someone that.
Still doesn’t explain it. I guess it would take a book to get through exactly what is happening.
Haha nice one!

The real vaccination campaign with alternate motives. Nobody who got a shot there wasn't vaccinated. That they also carried out surveillance was regrettable, because it did create a negative narrative, but the vaccines weren't fake.
One way to fix this urge is to leave the field and work as a plumber, electrician or in factory. Unless you have enough money to do it as a hobby most people will quickly see that this is not as great as you may think. While in school I used to work in construction and factories in the summer months. I quickly realized that an engineer job is much nicer and paid way better.

But I have to admit that as a mechanical engineer now working in software I really miss touching the result of my work. Nothing better than designing something, building it and then being able to touch and see it.

Yes thanks for clarifying. The federated nature lets communities set their own moderation rules. Like all federated social media, you should join one that has rules aligning with your expectations, or you can create your own instance. Few instances seem to exist currently which is why I plan to spin one up in anticipation of further Reddit crackdown as well as the need of more variety.
There's probably something to be said for human editorial in ranking sources. There are a finite number of actual news sources with actual reporting, and it occurs to me that your once your automated filter detects possible crap quality, it could kick it up to a human for review and subsequent permanent deranking.

This is one of Google's problems: they are monomaniacal about algorithmic ranking. And that's got them very far on the open web, where the number of sources is too wide and varied for human review. But while news has the appearance of being a wide domain, the majority of what's out there is regurgitated content on sites that could safely be branded with a permanent mark of distrust.

Meanwhile metrics like # of ads could incorrectly derank sites that are just run under a poor business model, but do employ good journalists / analysts / whatever.

Good luck!

Interesting divide on the writing style here.

My first exposure to programming was a book my dad gave me called The Little Schemer, and I absolutely loved it. It's like discovery fiction without the fiction. It just asks a question and then immediately answers it; mostly composed of code with minimal explanation. It feels like a very natural progression of being exposed to something new, getting familiar with it, and starting to explore all the nuances.

I can imagine TFA re-written without the dumb story being really good. It makes use of spaced repetition, and it does a good job of introducing one piece of information at a time. But I agree; the story part of it is stupid.
MAC addresses are link-local, not global.

Your device and my device could have the same MAC address and everything works fine until we find ourselves on the same L2 network. And there's practical limits to how large a single L2 network can be, and it's way smaller than 48 bits of space.
Then you have to explain why CP/M running on 8 bit hardware was so much better than DOS on 16 bit.
