I'm pretty sure btrfs would detect these issues as well. It has certainly saved me before thanks to checksumming.
TL;DR

Math is actually very simple. If you are not vaccinated and you are concerned about getting infected (as you should be) then stay the heck away from others. There is no way around this.

Society can't babysit adults indefinitely. Vaccines are available for everyone. Take it or leave it. Also Paxlovid is very potent antiviral against SARS-Cov-2 (at least on paper) so that is an alternative by now (not sure if available yet on NZ but it will come).

It may be though necessary to set limits on available care and triage base on vaccination status when these personal choices start to endanger health care for other people. It is hard and not welcomed choice but again, why should minority dictate life and death of others?
So you get promoted, then have to do that job at a lower salary than the position should get you.

Once you get the raise at the review cycle, is this also back paid for the time you were under paid for the role ?
Curious to see what percentage are willing to go back at all.
I say the following not knowing anything about appget internals.

I hope I could find proper words to express the sour feelings when there's not enough credit given. It's always easy to dismiss something as: "gee, thats the obvious way to do it, there's nothing unique about it". Novel ideas always turn out to be obvious once they are implemented. The foundations of knowledge are based on the same principle. Standing on the shoulders of giants. The contrary, not giving credit, is just the nasty opposite. Appearing taller, by standing on your shoulders.
Surveillance capitalism has gone way beyond the craziest fever dreams of 1990s shortwave radio conspiracy wackos.

The thing they never would have predicted was that nobody had to round everyone up into camps or abduct them in the night. People would willingly rush to instrument themselves and give away all their privacy for convenience and cute emojis, and when a story like this came out they’d shrug.

A while back a friend and I had just read something about all those nuclear tests in the 50s and 60s. He asked what “the fuck were they thinking?” thing we are doing today. I immediately answered: total surveillance with no regulation or oversight.

As I’ve said before: we just (in my opinion) had an attempted fascist coup. The next one won’t be so incompetent and will have a far smarter and slicker demagogue behind it.
That has always been Microsoft strategy: offer lot of different tools and options for people to create applications. React native for windows is just another option Microsoft developed.

As a result you never know what to bet on and spend way too much time evaluating different technologies. And there is very little coherence between applications. That seems to work for them but as a dev it’s really frustrating to never feel there is a clear direction moving forward.

If they actually start using their own tools that’s already an improvement compared to let’s say, Blazor. React native for windows is also used by the XBox application in windows.
I completely agree (on the staying power). This is the only variant that's gripped me as much as the original.

I used to own a GSM modem. It could in principle be hooked-up to a microphone and speaker to make voice calls; I used it only for SMS. It accepted AT commands from a serial port. You had to put a SIM in it.

Apart from all the funky web-interfaces (with their security defects), isn't that basically what this GoIP-1 device is? Like, you can use it to send SMS; but it's not free, it's charged to the SIM account, right?

So if you're stupid enough to put the web interface for this thing on the big, bad internet, then strangers can use your SIM card to send "free" text messages. But much the same would happen if you left your phone on a park bench.
The actual start was some time before that:

Pair programming easily achieves the >2x speed boost though. The driver focuses on the technical details of writing high-quality code, implementation, proper variable naming and so on whilst the navigator keeps track of the overall task, provides extra short-term memory, spots silly mistakes/typos, focuses on business logic etc. So instead of one programmer juggling too much and stalling, getting bored/frustrated, losing confidence, taking shortcuts to try to keep up and making a mess, you have two programmers in a state of flow producing high-quality work.

As a side-effect, you also get great shared knowledge of the code base.
Old Reddit was awful and I always used alternative UIs for it.

New Reddit’s design was a great improvement if it weren't for the fact that its developers were and still are absolutely clueless. That paired with a user-hostile management made Reddit even worse.

But the redesign itself was not the issue, it was the implementation.
Solar roof tile shingles are a real technology. And unlike Telsa Solar, which mostly buys it's cells from China, market leaders (in terms of technology) like Meyer-Burgers will present similar products this year. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2021/07/29/meyer-burger-plans-to... those will be able to be installed by any roofer and are compliant with German safety standards and are much more robust then Tesla Solars models.
Marketing department egos get inflated to incredible, lofty levels when a redesign is planned and launched. It’s something quite amazing to behold. It causes work for many departments, updating logos, redesigning websites etc. Then unless it completely backfired it’s deemed a success and millions of dollars well-spent.
When I read a New Yorker article about Google, I was surprised to learn that Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat do a lot of pair-programming. Excerpt from: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/12/10/the-friendship...

>“You need to find someone that you’re gonna pair-program with who’s compatible with your way of thinking, so that the two of you together are a complementary force,” Jeff said. [...]

> Windows 11 settings rewritten in React Native

The article title:

> React Native for Windows is helping Settings improve more quickly

From near the start of the article:

> In this blog post, we discuss how and why Microsoft is using React Native for Windows to deliver the Your Microsoft Account page in Windows 11 Settings.

This isn’t the entire Settings app, but rather one specific page that used to only be available online, but now they want it available in the Settings app too:

> Enabling you to manage your account information directly from the Windows 11 Settings is one of the key goals for the new Your Microsoft Account page. Before Windows 11, your only option for managing these settings was to visit the account.microsoft.com website (“AMC”). The team wanted to have a consistent set of functionality and user experience between the native and web versions and considered several options to accomplish this […]

The reasoning behind their choosing React Native does not apply for anything else in the Settings app in any way, so I don’t think you can expect to see anything else using React Native any time soon.
It’s still calories in vs calories out. What changed is that our understanding of what determines calories in and calories out has become more nuanced. For instance, your examples
NFS vs. iSCSI for Accessing VM Data
Thank you to the moderation team for keeping HN a pleasant, educational corner of the internet.
NFS vs iSCSI is a relevant topic for configuring a shared datastore to store VM data and other files. How is data shared using each protocol? Which protocol is more secure? What about iSCSI vs NFS performance? This blog post answers these questions and covers other aspects of using NFS and iSCSI in VMware vSphere.
Honestly, the only thing I want out of control panel is for it to stop moving my cheese.
Yes. In the past turbines were very inefficient. Much higher compression ratio and thus efficiency nowadays. But piston engines have also improved.
One problem with jets is that they don't scale down so well because of clearance issues.

Also they might need a secondary system to take energy from the hot exhaust gases. GE has proposed supercritical CO2 cycles for that. Could get total efficiency close to diesel, maintenance windows might be more frequent though.

This thread tells how you can run some jet engines on gasoline, though some pumps need to take that into account since it doesn't lubricate as well as kerosene.

Me too. I never left school. I shipped my first commercial product in 1978 at the age of 11, launched my first company at age 14, and sold my first company at age 19.

Here I am 44 years later with zero years of experience because I keep adding more years of college and university. I am not exactly the brightest crayon in the box, but I found college "easy" because I had years of professional discipline meeting deadlines.

This idea of counting experience only after you left college is absolute nonsense.

And too add, I never actually graduated from the UK equivalent of high school, which drives HR people nuts, especially when they find out that the CTO of the company they are acquiring is a high school dropout.
So I read the article and I understand the reason why they wanted to use React Native for this specific part of the application. At the same time, I can't help but wonder about their priorities when they are rewriting parts of the new app while there are still configuration options in Windows which require you to go to the old Control Panel.
>>> Since we are employing two programmers to do work on the same keyboard at the same time, the output of pair programming must be greater than 2x the output of a single programmer to make sense.

Not at all. Two programmers working on the same project at the same time is already slower than one programmer working twice as long because these two have to communicate. And during pair programming, the communication is sped up.

In my experience, pair programming is really fun and helpful for some parts of my work, for example brainstorming solution ideas or finding bugs.

Are large personalities not “unique”, and followed for the uniqueness of their character?

In related news, since Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22557, installing with Microsoft account is mandatory[1]. If you preferred local account, well, you know how Microsoft respects your preferences.

> Because books are not (yet) generally authored by sociopaths working at social media companies, altering what you see to maximise "engagement".

You're making the same mistake that OP is; conflating screens and social media. How is watching one hour of Line of Duty/Better Call Saul a day worse than reading 3-4 hours of any of the hundreds of nonsense romance novels that are published every year. Also, if you think that book publishing is exempt from the abusive marketing/psychology tactics, you're sorely mistaken.

Facebook still has an user count who's market limit approaches the human population, has lost users for the first time just last month and is still the largest social network, despite being said dead for 5+ years now. Facebook-the-company (Meta, I guess) also still has Instagram, which does not look like it's loosing out against TikTok, and WhatsApp+Facebook Messenger, which together have an enormous market share in the messenger market.

I don't think there's really a need for panic, yet.

>The output of pair programming must be greater than 2x the output of a single programmer to make sense.

IME it does. Most of coding is identifying problems and two sets of eyes lets you hone in on the problems quicker.

With design, two sets of eyes spots things that you will otherwise miss.

Programming isnt chopping wood. If you're experience with it is that you're bashing out code like you're on a factory production line then something has gone wrong.

>While pair programming might achieve some goals as a pedagogical tool, there are more time and cost efficient ways to share knowledge between team members.

I've never seen this happen once. If somebody managed to write docs that correctly anticipated every potential question I'd be very surprised.
>> I don't think I could truly "disconnect" knowing that work is potentially piling up in the background and waiting for me when I get back.

Knowing you've got work waiting when you want it / need to make money is a blessing, not a curse. Having to worry about it piling up sucks. But basically it means both options are available to you: (1) take extended time off, or (2) get approval, because you're necessary enough that the work will still be waiting for you when you get back.

There's also (3) pick up jobs while you're traveling - teaching English, bartending, working for a nonprofit that will cover your housing, or something more creative. That's how most of the long-term travelers I know did it.

The only basic requirement is being sick enough of everything here to take the first step off the ledge. When I left my job and left America, I had $15k in the bank, way more than the OP, but it was still scary and I was giving up a $60k job to do it. Hands down the only good decision I ever made in my life, that gave me a real sense of who I was. I would never have gotten to that knowledge, no matter how much more I made staying in the US; I would have just become more of a slave to the dollar, less and less inclined to seek new experiences (like I'm afraid I'm becoming now).
It sounded to me like an ex-employer successfully sold an ex-employees linode account.
IMHO, pair programming is a useful thing, but not for the reasons it's usually sold on.

It is a really good oboarding vehicle. Pair an Experienced Dev and a new hire, and let the former guide the latter through the codebase. It also works great for implementing changes involving very complex parts of the codebase, usually the kind that interact with many different subsystems, which can get really tricky toget a good grasp on.
No but you can pirate it easily. Pirating ms products is always morally right.
This is the biggest thing I have seen with pairing when it works. People are less likely to disrupt a pair, but they'll happily bother a single person. Enough of those happen a week, and the pair gets 20+ hours of coding vs the two singles only getting six each.

Not exactly a great attitude, but it’s how I came across the post.
Wow. I've been hanging out here for 15 years.
I've deleted my twitter and reddit accounts. I have discord open but i barely read it, same with matrix which I use mostly with my fiancee. In games I disable chats often. I do use mastodon, but not as excessively as I used twitter. I also made this HN account recently because I felt that I need to talk to someone sometimes.

It certainly has made me happier to cut as much social media as possible out of my life.

I don't want to go full offline for many days or weeks (nor could, because of work). Many things I like are connected to internet and tech, and I don't mind it that much. Just need to remember to have breaks every now and then.
Pretty cunning, I bet whoever thought that one up got a raise (in the next review cycle).
All optimized stellarator designs are periodic, so only one period (with correct boundary mapping) needs to be simulated. But yeah, it's a much larger search space.

I am using it in a commercial IoT project where the MCU flash is split into 2 parts: usual program area and a file system to store persistent and temporary data like ota. The main purpose is flash usage leveling which especially critical on MCU-internal flash, and as a bonus, it's just neat to have a real filesystem where you can work with FILE*. In about 2 years in the field - no issues.
sure. usually more common in places where workers have low self confidence and don't think they could do better. if only they knew what opportunities were out there
Those aren't really the settings they're talking about. Whoever submitted this to HN messed up while editorializing the title.

They're talking about the settings associated with your "Microsoft account". Since it's a web "service", there is of course a web page from which you can manage that account. But they wanted to (also) let you do it from within the Windows control panel. That page of the control panel -- and only that page -- has been implemented in React Native.

Obviously this doesn't involve "rewriting" anything, since this is something that didn't previously exist.

Pretty sure this is something specific to “modern” places. I’m on vacation for a few days in the middle of nowhere Alaska and most of these questions are easier to answer for this spot than where I live.

A few are harder “After the rain runs off your roof, where does it go?” (What’s rain? It’s -30f here…). Also the invasive species questions (Do any of them survive?)

Having founded and worked at quite a few start-ups, start-ups should aim for one specialist for every half-dozen generalists, preferably even lower than that. It's not a hard and fast rule, and pretty flexible, but if you have a single generalist and lots of specialists in a start-up, you are in trouble.
Finally! I can't wait to have the Settings UI as slow as Microsoft Teams!
Tbf, I think what he wants to do is basically the Amazon/AWS and Google/Waymo pivot where they basically use their massive piles of cash and engineering talent pipeline to try to capture the Next Big Market. And with a PE ratio based on growth that they'll struggle to achieve that roll of the dice might even be the best (or least worst) option.

Problem is they're just so unfocused and goofy about it. To the extent that VR immersive experiences become big (which is likely not as big as Zuck thinks), it's more likely to be dominated by a company with a culture based around immersive worldbuilding and storytelling, not a company culture based around advertiser metadata and surfacing stuff people click on. And rebranding itself as a metaverse whilst all it has to show the average user is a website which has been around in essentially the same format for 15 years underlines that.

I've read this several times before, and every time I do it hurts just as much.

Every time I read of another person who built something useful, so much so that it gets recognised by big-corp X, and being called in by Google or Microsoft, promised the recognition (and pay) they deserve, then having the rug pulled at light-speed from under them, I take it personally.

I'm amazed, every time I read "The Day AppGet Died" at the restraint shown, which makes it hurt that little bit more.

Keivan should probably be a (multi) millionaire now, sitting comfortably with his family doing whatever it is they enjoy doing. Instead, someone at Microsoft used this as a way to get themselves a promotion.

Don't be fooled by the lipstick, Microsoft has never stopped being EEEvil.
At my place (not software), they ask me to perform the job at the next level, in order to prove that I can do it, before promoting me. They also require that at least 2 years are spent at each level. And during Corona they didn't promote anybody, meaning everybody`s career slid back by up to an extra year, depending on where u were in the cycle.

I would've much preferred if they had promoted ppl and done salary increases later.
I don't want to sound negative, that's all nice and good, but since it's about the "Microsoft" (=online) and not Windows (=local) account (although I think they try to blur the line pushing the former in all possible ways), it shouldn't matter what language it's written in - it could be just web page embedded in any widget. And from this point of view, it makes sense to use a web-related framework - not because of it being cross-platform (kind of, I believe only Windows and macOS are supported, for Linux you need something like Proton).
Unfortunately LittleFS is very slow on large (multi-GB) storage like SD cards.
Also SD cards are managed flash, so you don't need to do wear leveling in the FS.
