Totally agree.

There are also these ridiculous dynamics to the system that a new incompetent manager can burn a department to the ground and then get another promotion for rebuilding the department to 25% of what it was before they burned it down.

What is missing is a type of null hypothesis to judge the manager against. Would the department actually be better off if we paid them to watch Netflix?

This is probably something deep in human nature though when it comes to money and business because it is almost the definition of Keynes animal spirits. A spontaneous urge to action rather than inaction. We just don't like the idea of inaction when it comes to business and money.

I'm not sure what you mean, the success stories that you called biased are also true. Your point wasn't about "truth", it was about being representative of the normal outcome. This story of people getting $10 million working at Google isn't a normal outcome, just like selling your startup for $100 million isn't a normal outcome.
You are right of course, but a lot of things in this world are named for the things that they will become, not the things that they are. If I was a Tesla client I would make sure what they mean by it before I took a nap in the driver's seat.
People are trying to say, “I worked for/earned what I have.” I think it’s as simple as that.

> only through sheer dumb luck of loving computers

It's not healthy to frame it this way in your mind. It almost sounds like you're ashamed of how easy it was for you to escape your circumstances. Remember that the good times don't actually last forever, and you might reach a ceiling in your career that other people in other professions don't have to deal with.

Also, being a software engineer isn't the only profession that pays well. It just so happens that due to modernity, it's extremely accessible.
Pageless is great, except for the loss of footnotes. Why not fix that and have the best of both worlds?
Its best to assume that Apple just wants everyone to use a single external monitor with their notebooks. Anytime you go beyond that, bad things start to happen.

I had a 2017 MacBook Pro and two 27 inch 4k monitors. I connected these through a variety of different dongles and configurations but always had a similar issue - after being in use for a while, no matter what I was doing, the system started to thermal throttle to the point of becoming unusable.

After many hours of hair pulling I discovered that using display scaling was the issue. Apparently using anything beyond the "default for display" option was taxing the GPU, which causes heat, which then heats the rest of the system to the point of it throttling the CPU. When I finally realized this I moved to using an eGPU. So basically something like 700 bucks for a Razer Core eGPU and AMD video card to function as a dock. Oh and cherry on top is the Razer Core's NIC doesn't work in macOS, Razer knows this and isn't planning on fixing it.

I was really excited about the M1 systems but I absolutely do not want to go through the hell of figuring out how to get two displays working. Particularly considering that I can't just sidestep the issue by using my eGPU since those aren't supported.
Thank you. I appreciate it :-)

It seems we've all come across so much (unhelpful) sarcasm on the web that whenever we see certain phrases or grammatical constructs, we are unconsciously preconditioned to think the intent is negative -- even when it isn't.

On my end, I'll try to be more mindful about my phrasing next time.
Yup. Grammar is the same just with some different vocabulary (mainly because of loanwords from other languages that got inserted because of history).
I'll switch as soon as High DPI ultrawide is a thing.

I know there's the LG 5Kx2K monitor, but MacOS can't drive it at 6880x2880 which is the scaling option I'd want - It's less pixels in total than a Pro Display XDR, but I guess their logic is "if (width > 6k) { don't allow }"
Thank you, would love to get your feedback and thoughts on what we should add.
The analogy is not perfect by any means, but lets look at a regular computer monitor.

Is the area/space in front of it the same (state) as the area behind the monitor?

With respect to "is there a monitor in this place" they are not that different.

But in front of the monitor is obviously different from behind the monitor. Whatever the monitor shows is only visible from the front.
Likewise, what you did in your life, what you leave behind is only accessible after (admittedly also during) your life, but not before your birth.

Does the monitor project those things out of nothing? It won't work by magic, there is no creatio ex nihilo at work. Instead it has input connectors for power and display on the back. When viewed from the front it is easy to forget them, but they are mandatory to see anything. These connectors are like your pre-birth, your parents, your family history, their manners, their culture, the broader circumstances of your birth and life-to-come. These pre-birth things are the inputs that get transformed by you in your life into the things you project into your after-life.
If wages stay strong, and there is no subsidy for childcare, those parents aren't coming back to the workforce. They'll stay home and raise their kids, as they'll have no other choice. Point me at a your average childcare facility, and I can have those employees hired away to better jobs (less responsibility) paying more within the day, even if your skills are only early childcare education or similar (average pay is $11/hour for this work, which isn't sustainable in the current macro, my local Target is paying $17-24/hr for retail). It's a market failure, demonstrating the US doesn't value parent workers who require this service.

The population isn't getting younger due to the rapidly declining total fertility rate, so you're going to experience a labor "squeeze", having a bunch of folks leaving the labor force and a smaller working population having their wages rapidly pushed up. Immigration will remain a challenge due to the political climate not being supportive of it.

For your average worker, it's a net benefit as long as the surging wages last (and inflation subsides as interest rates rise, which will also push asset prices down), even more so if organizing efforts across the country continue.

i read an interview with a developer who worked with Peter Molyneux at bullfrog etc. and he said that Peter would go into interviews and when he liked the suggestion of the interviewer then he would say that that was exactly how it would work in the game! So after he came back from a press circus he would present the developers with complete different ideas to implement than what they were doing before.

I'm very happy to have read this because now, finally, I understand what Molyneux was all about. At the very least a Marketing genius (among other things).
> because there is such a big economic incentive to abuse such free service.

On my free personal blog, I have nothing for sale, and nobody discovers it in spite of the ones that do read it enjoying it.

I'd personally lean towards using english spelling for some of these, which for example pinyin (chinese in latin alphabet) also adopted. It's pretty established already and would be easier to adopt by foreigners.

- ch (č) instead of cx

Additionally, you might correct the unfortunate use of i, y and j in slavic languages:

- j instead of gx or dž or dzh. It's already well established how to pronounce 'jamaica' worldwide
- y instead of the slavic j. There is no need for i and y to represent the same vowel
- ye instead of ě
- ty instead of ť
- dy instead of ď
- ny instead of ň

If you’re cleaning foeces off the side of someone else’s room toilet you’re working class. I’m not sure why the author thinks it’s obvious that “her grandparents owned a hotel” means she’s not, like the quote above doesn’t count for anything.
Using a CalDigit right now to power two monitors on an M1 Macbook Pro. It doesn't go above 60hz (my monitors are 165hz) but I'm still happy with it. Has an ethernet port too, which is great.
I'm still working on the difficulty levels. I think recognising factors of either the target number or nearby numbers is key.
Seems like enough people have the same confusion that it might be a worthwhile exercise to evaluate whether you are effectively communicating what you believe yourself to be.
Please do not group password rotation and special character restriction. One strengthens, the other weakens security. The only reason I can think that rotation would be a bad idea (aside from frustration, which is another very critical issue) is if users are not using strong passwords on each iteration.

The solution is for a standard to emerge that incorporates rotation and (optionally random) password generation used across sites. No more fucking "Login with Google".
There was a period of time where the TS3+ was completely unavailable. Our IT people were saying that the manufacturer couldn't get parts to build them. :( I was lucky enough to get one before that happened and can say it works great. I'm using a SUW49DA from Viotek. The only issue I have is that something keeps waking the monitor up overnight but not sending a video signal. This eventually causes the monitor to shutdown and stop waking up until it's physically power cycled ( i.e. unplug/replugin). Otherwise, it's been great.
Good for you? Not everyone lives where jobs are plentiful. There are a lot of reasons a perfectly competent person may struggle to find a new job if they lose their current one. There are plenty of reasons a person may not be able to float for even a month between getting fired and getting a new job. It's nice that it's easy for you, but that doesn't mean everyone else is just lazy or incompetent because it's not easy for them.
It is talked about, but maybe not to the extent that it could be. For obvious historic reasons, race and class are highly correlated. I think this causes certain class issues to disguise as race issues and vice versa. To be clear, both kinds of discrimination exist, both are terrible. But people are sometimes bad at separating correlated variables intuitively. And, how do I put it, the social sciences don’t have the reputation to always use the most statistically sound methods.
> regular password rotation has not been a recommendation for over 5 years

It's just that it was a strident recommendation for 10 years prior to that, perhaps because many systems didn't support long passphrases but it was drummed into enough heads that it is now "conventional wisdom" especially in many business and government "enterprise" shops.

Even my latest employer, an academic institution with security folks who know better, still forces a passphrase change every other year.
I'll say it again: I'm not saying that we can use past lack of nuclear war to predict future lack of nuclear war. All I'm saying is that each year's probability is not independent, meaning the model of a probability of no nuclear war which geometrically goes to 0 is not accurate.
I’ve had zero issues using two 27” LG 5K monitors with my M1 Max (personal) or M1 Pro (work). Expensive setup for sure, but it just works and the amount of pixels is just glorious.
IMO, 1440p is too low of a pixel density for productivity. My first 1440p monitor was 10 years ago. If only 2160p ultrawides weren't prohibitively expensive.
Smuggling is an option.
When I was doing some canvassing for the election in 2016, I was able to use my limited Czech to speak with some Polish speakers. My grandfathers, one who spoke Czech, the other Slovene, both at a native level (they were raised bilingually in their ancestral language plus English) were able to understand each other. My father was able to leverage his Czech (another bilingual kid) to understand Polish and Slovene and he had a fairly easy time learning Russian.
A marxist class analysis clears this issue up pretty well, as its based on the relationship to labor and capital. The example interviewee would be working class based on their relationship to capital. Grandparents that own a hotel (assuming its not a large chain) would be petite bourgeoisie, as they own a small amount of capital, but must work to make it productive and are therefore still a kind of working class. The accountant father is still working class, as he must work for a living, but would be considered Private Managerial Class, as they are rewarded well for their skills within capital.
Scenario: Your device has a keylogger. It already happened that e.g. android device makers were overly aggressive in debug logging almost everything, including everything you type or paste on the clipboard.

Leaking a password on your side is an unknown unknown, so password rotation is not a bad practice on its own for a security conscious person: It limits a leak in time.

Mandatory password rotation is a whole different kettle of fish, as it pushes users to lower password quality. Infosec policy was required to balance 2 conflicting needs, and the past has thougt us we balanced wrong.
This is just a very particular case of calling a function with such arguments that the result will depend on the order of evaluation for the arguments.

Or at all. This is actually a fairly common problem among certain types of research scientists who think software engineering is "peasant work".

I remember a friend of mine working at a research organization where several researchers lost months of work due to an unscheduled server reboot. Turns out when you log into ephemeral containers and pretend they are VMs, things go poof.
Spending too much time in my house. Especially during cold months I realized there were days where I probably did less than 1000 steps around the house. The forced movement to and from work was adding to something and in my case it's the weak will to simply schedule a walk or do some exercise. Back to the office and I waste 2 hours on commute daily but I'm in a better physical shape.

This is a callous viewpoint. My heart goes out to the Russian citizens living in an effective dictatorship.

Genuinely asking, as someone who frames my own circumstances similarly, what would you say is a healthy way to frame things?
I don't think we ever will or even should ditch paper formats. It will always have its place in legal or any other industry that relies on formal documenting.

My selfish reason: take the most popular paper format - PDF. A PDF created thirty years ago, is viewable today and will be preserved intact and viewable thirty years from now. I won't be able to say the same about a Coda or Notion doc. With all that dynamic blocks pulling data from all over the internet, I don't even think it's possible.

That wouldn’t really work for me. The physical separation (and different display angle that brings) and ability to set different wallpapers per workspace per monitor are important and can’t be reproduced with a window manager.

> Maybe that's the difference?

The difference is that free drivers don't have access to changing the GPU frequency in newer cards. Newer means anything above NV110, that is, 900-series.
Sounds like a pain. I have a regular Hyundai Elantra and get significantly more than 300 miles of range on a tank, winter or not. And I live in the mountains in Canada, where there's some roads that don't have a gas station for 150 miles, never mind charging stations...

Numerically, sure, because of the sheer numbers of Russian speakers, but Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Croats and Bosniaks (among others) might beg to differ.
Whos hiring, on hackernews has given me the best replies, I think because its slightly personal when you email and say i came from hn. It got me a few interviews from which I got several offers, one of which I took.

Applying on places like angellist/SO jobs etc gave me little in the way of success.
Similar journey, but I went from two down to one 27" 4k. I found that I was getting distracted by all the extra open windows and time spent arranging them. Maybe it is just because I'm getting older, but I've found the key (for me) to productivity is getting back to doing just one thing at a time. It has taken a lot of discipline and a little bit of creativity to achieve this, but I think my productivity has improved.

What Should You Do?

There’s a simple checklist of improvements you can make to keep your passwords forever secret:

If you aren’t already, start using a password manager.
Use the password manager to generate strong, unique passwords for every account.
Review old accounts that contain personal, proprietary, or financial information and update their passwords using the password manager.
Never share personal facts, like your pet’s name, when required. Instead, replace a real fact with random text that you store in your password manager for later access.
Enable two-factor authentication wherever available.

I can't argue with any of this! But there are obstacles on the path to this utopia. Password managers are becoming more and more usable for average folks, though I've seen some confusion in some of my non-tech friends/family, esp when integrated into browsers. There's also the question of market penetration. Is your grandma going to use a password manager?

Other trends I've seen:

Passwordless auth tying into WebAuthN. If a site can tie into a method secured by the OS, all the better. I'm not sure the uptake, but have seen some presentations/comments about it being a far superior UX. Also, seen some startups built (and raising $$$) around just this.

Known, trusted bigcos like Facebook (ya, I know, but they are trusted by lots of non tech folks) and Google. This has some upsides because they can secure accounts really well, and also keep on top of new security reqs like MFA. But there're plenty of HN stories about being locked out of these IdPs, so this may be a bit of a scary delegation for some.

Passwordless auth tied to email. This is great for low value, infrequently used accounts because often 'send me creds via email' is the default path anyway, usually via 'forgot password' flows.
This is true, but British social class is much more complicated than that.

To add another data point for anyone looking for help- I connected two Displayport monitors to my M1 macbook with a Plugable Displaylink hub. The hub I chose also has 2 HDMI ports if I ever got new monitors, plus 6 USB-A ports, an ethernet port and an audio jack.

What it doesn't do, is power your laptop. I don't believe any Displaylink hub can do that.

$159 and Plugable has other port configurations to choose from as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08B6CZ29Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

Here's a reply to a comment from a few weeks ago, when someone asked the same thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30024805
Different students are... different.

Some goof off all day at school instead of doing any work- should they be able to then not take the work home and do it there and still get the same grade as the students who don't goof off and get their work done in class?

Should all students be required to spend the same amount of time at school doing school work when some would prefer to do their work at home?

At what grade level is it appropriate to allow students to manage their own schedules and where they do their school work? Elementary? Junior high? High school? College?

One size does not fit all.
