While it's easy to write a small piece of code, it's much harder to craft a coherent system of some kind to do anything non-trivial.
Does that mean we need some test or professional credential to serve as a "gate" between small and large?
I think that the only thing that helps here is experience. And a piece of paper doesn't really help with that.

I also think that good developers are able to be self-deprecating. Just because we muse over not working or writing bad code, we don't want to deliver a bad product or project -- usually the user doesn't see the code.
So, I'm fine with being a bit less "professional", if my users are happy with my work product and it makes me seem more approachable and human.
Stanford chemist develop ‘infrared vision’ for cancer immunotherapy (2019)
This is standard for all Engineering disciplines except software. It’s really not that foreign of a concept.
Drink lots of black coffee. It helps quench the hunger pains, making it easier to go without any other calorie intake e.g. from morning to lunch.

I be recommend espresso or instant coffee for this though, as it tends to have less acids and is thus gentler on a fasting stomach.

This is what I do :)
The 80/20 rule lives on; you deliver 80% of the value at 20% of the cost.
I was thinking why the heck is this review submitted and even upvoted on HN. It is another Alder Lake CPU. So What?

But once you mentioned it is a $143 part and a cheaper version goes for $122 this suddenly is news worthy. You are getting the latest Intel uArch for only $122. This is looking like a very good chip for low end machine especially Office work. And suggest may be Raptor Lake could really deliver 10-15% IPC. Enough of differentiation for next gen.

Another important note is Intel doing it with Intel 7nm . Which suggest their 7nm node yield must be doing exceptionally well. And their 4nm must be on track to market at 2H 2022.

I only wish I have money to invest.
I think they mean the policy that many blood donation places adhere to that there is a waiting period after the last time a male/male relationship has sex (I think for red cross it is like 3 months) before specifically men who have sex with men can donate.

Personally I understand from a medical perspective why this could be a concern and I dont think it is inherently meant to be homophobic

Any man who has had sex with another man used to be unable to give blood in the US, due to federal regulations, because of the risk of HIV. The current regulation states: “Defer for 3 months from the most recent sexual contact, a man who has had sex with another man during the past 3 months.”

I am surprised this isn't illegal, especially since they are forcing you to do this to keep playing a game you already bought.
I do feel sorry for him, and I think you are being too forgiving to the trolls here.

This was not a mere "ruined reputation", but rather a persistent, coordinated mobbing assault big enough that not even a professional PR firm could do anything.

Did he cheat? Likely yes. Did he deserve being banned from marathons? Sounds like it. But did he deserve "the pressure, attention, emailing, even trolling" that he got? No, he did not.

If I were in his position, I would have also tried to sue.
CICO. Put in the work and you'll see the results.
You only have so much willpower. Move temptations out-of-sight, out-of-house, and your willpower will have a better chance of seeing you through the day.

Aside from that, prayer and fasting. With God all things are possible!

Write down everything you’re going to eat for the day in the morning.

I’ve used logging to great effect for weight loss, but I found it cumbersome to open my phone and log the calories every time I ate. Eventually I started logging my meals before I ate them just to get it out of the way. This led me to pre-logging the whole day. That made it much easier to time my meals and snacks so I wouldn’t get hungry and could stay under my calorie goal
I do agree the profession is trivialized and infantilized, but licensing is not the answer. There are plenty of shitty doctors and builders too.

We don't need licensing and crazy security standards to build the 10000th SaaS app. It doesn't matter if it breaks or falls down or is built by a clown.

There are a few rare places where software actually needs to be very reliable, like say NASA or medical equipment or self-driving cars. Those places typically already have a very different culture and practices.

The trivialization of software comes from the VC/investor class imo. They want to desperately push this idea that everyone can code because it means a continuous supply of cheap labor. Pushing back on that idea is called "gatekeeping". Devs get mindfucked into devaluing themselves, and even if they realize this, they are competing in a pool of others who are similarly mindfucked.

I wish software devs would stop ceding power so easily. The typical arrangement is that you don't decide what to work on, don't decide how long it will take, don't have much say over the organizational structure etc. You don't have to passively accept shitty interviews, the obligation to make your code public, the complete decoupling of decision making from execution etc.
Jetpens is where I first bought a Lamy Safari 10 years ago, and it still works perfectly.

Highly recommend Jetpens for pens, ink, paper and more (and the Lamy is a great first fountain pen).
That wasn't really the point I was making.

I was making the point that goods which practically affect one's appearance in reality affect more than just one's appearance due to the nature of human personality.
Cereal for breakfast is not that popular in most parts of the world. Also, outside the US, cereals are not so heavily fortified.
You know that Russian and Chinese media have English versions, and Google Translate and similar can be used to translate the original versions? The absolutely publish complete bullshit.
Regarding licensing, having a degree from a good university with good grades is already a pretty good "license".
Cool. Another feature that Firefox won't support. Same with the WebSerial API and others. I sort of understand their reasoning that they want to make a web browser and not an application platform, but that's where the web is shifting to ... or rather has already for a long time. And people wonder why every new tech/browser is based on Chromium all the time. Well, this is one of the many reasons.
I think you’re right. My experiences in the Danish enterprise sector has been that banking and medical are very serious. But that can’t be taken as a universal truth.

I also think it depends on how you define quality. In terms of medical my qualification criteria is based around a 0 deaths or 0 failure rate over a lifetime, not so much what it was build with. Some people would likely disagree with that.
Yep, the almost absurd level of anthropomorphism is borderline brobdingnagian. It's like he's living in his own insufferable version of charlotte's web.
any unhealthy side effects of only eating one meal a day? what if that meal is 1800+ calories?

Likelihood is best used as a tool for predicting the average outcome of many events, based on data from many past events.

This person either supports Putin, or not; there is no probably about it, and no way to meaningfully apply probability to figure out his individual motives; he would have to be interviewed.

For example, maybe he feels that the widespread ostracism of Russia and Russians is unfair, and just wants to support the morale of his compatriots.
The lead one at least is untrue, assuming you are talking about adding it to gasoline. They knew it was dangerous at the time, just business reasons overrode the scientists who complained, and other scientists were on the payroll and so lied.

Another interesting parallel is that they actually had a better alternative to addihg lead at the time, but the industry vetoed it because it was also a fuel in its own right and threatened their monopoly.
"It's hard to understand, and i've never needed to use it myself in my daily work - must be only useful for academia" - a very commonly held belief.
Making CO2 is an expensive process and our body does it on an at-need basis. Flooding the air with oxygen will do nothing.

My suggestion is something that helped personally, and is something like a psychological trick so your mileage may vary. I don't mention my weight loss/exercise routine/diet to anyone. The effect I think this has is that I don't prematurely rob myself of the dopamine hit for working out by simply talking about it. Anyway I can draw a line in my fitness history where I started doing this and I've been much more successful since.
I often wonder how good that coating is for consumers. I'd be surprised if it doesn't leach into the produce.
It may surprise you to know that there's a similar culture that revolves around skins. That's why people buy them and trade them.

I don't know a lot about it and it isn't as clearly visible as sneaker culture but I know it exists, because I used to play that game and there were people in various discords and steam chats who were obsessed with skins to the point it was all they could talk about.
It's also why software can be built far faster and better while other engineering disciplines struggle to build a bridge or plane. The more red tape means only the largest of orgs can operate it because the politics involved guarantee they're the ones that get to make the rules for everyone.
I’m happy to see things like this. My ISP used to ask for a picture of my docsis modem sticker because people kept making mistakes entering in the MAC address.

Unfortunately, the csr was just keying them in and keyed mine in wrong so I was without internet for a few days.

Something to automatically pick it out would be a lot better.
Drink coffee in the morning. It will suppress your appetite.
ZXing is/was solid. I used it for Android, then moved to (suggested) Google’s ml-kit offering around a year ago.

ZXing is pretty much abandoned now. It was anyway “kind of” from Google.
Amphetamines and home cooking / simple calories in calories out.

Amphetamine recommendation will probably get some hate, but it’s genuinely prescribed for people having issues with obesity. They also make life much nicer within moderation.

Oh yeah… absolutely NO soda with high fructose corn syrup. Seriously. Diet Dr. Pepper & Mtn Dew Spark Zero are great if you need the soda drink feel.

A single 16oz bottle of most soda’s are 110% the daily sugars portion, & HFCS is essentially the worst of all sugars for your health.

Stove cooked popcorn is great if you are the type to need to continuously snack, use coconut oil & buy Flavacol (popcorn salt) & it tastes amazing, ultra low calorie, & very filling.

(Note: this comment not brought to you by amphetamines, though it may seem :P )
The obvious; that I should not hire them for a given senior development position.

It’s remarkable to me how many people do fail. I get that there’s pressure, but a huge part of being a senior dev is overcoming that to lead.
According to Zhou, there is caution among researchers in China, too. “During [US President] Trump’s time, we were a bit hesitant to collaborate with my former colleagues at US national labs, not for our concern, but for how this might affect their jobs,” he says.
That something is standard is not an argument that it is good or beneficial. In 1300 it was standard to teach literacy and Latin at the same time and the vernacular was mostly an afterthought. If you want to say that more people programming is bad and they need to be stopped explain why.
Next: Programmers with Imperial Conditioning.
I am actually at a loss at who the M1 Ultra is aimed for.
I hope even author of this article would agree that it's stupid to require licence for building a simple browser game.

Yet it feels that building essential life- saving machines running on windows XP with internet access should be a crime.

I think if anything we need regulation on the industry-level so that e.g. plane controllers won't be running on operating system which can restart and update without users consent.

It would make prefect sense to require certain level of certification to work on code in some selected industries.
The founder has expressed interest in developing a Windows and Linux version once they're out of beta and "once they can afford to hire 20 more engineers". Linux would probably come first: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28803789

I think focusing on macOS first is a good move. macOS users are currently stuck between a lagging-behind-standards Safari and a memory-consuming Chrome (not sure how Firefox performs), and there is more of a market for paid software (which is Kagi's business model).
I thought the reporting on the near-nuclear incident gave a good contrast, as I first read it in the Telegraph[tele], then checked it in the Guardian[graun], had a look at Reuters (not sure what the link was), then looked at Russia Today[RT]. The main difference I found was that the western media was more alarmist and buried the lede[1] that the fire wasn't actually going to lead to a nuclear accident. Russia Today's reporting was much calmer and put things like that nearer the top (going by my recollection).

For example, the Guardian's headline:

> World ‘narrowly averted a nuclear catastrophe’, says US envoy to UN after Russia attack on Ukraine atomic plant - as it happened

Whereas Russia Today's headline and first line are:

> Ukraine accuses Russia of ‘shelling’ nuclear plant

> A fire broke out on Friday morning in a training building adjacent to the six-reactor Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), which local Ukrainian authorities have blamed on shelling by Russian troops.

The Telegraph has this quote a way down the page[2]:

> "For the moment, we know that all these dangers (that there had been concern about) haven't materialised but that the fire was contained to an administration building."

I was genuinely shocked and worried when I read the Telegraph, until I saw the bit about the building, and then I see that RT is making that the important part of their reporting.

I'm not picking a side here, nor trying to dismiss genuine worries (I still think the fire was too close for comfort), however, I think it's interesting to see the ways the same events are reported on, and it's something I think should be allowed, at the very least to counter accusations of censorship in aid of propaganda.

[1] that phrase implies intention, I can't confirm that, of course.

[2] I know it's a "live blog" page but that wouldn't stop them putting the info in the summary at the top, nor dialling down the scary language.

While I agree with the sentiment and some elements of your argument, I'm wondering how you draw the line at democracy and authoritarianism being the determining factor for this conflict. Every nation has skeletons in its closet regarding human rights violations and war crimes regardless of governing structure, so such a relation amounts to a non-sequitur. While saying this does not excuse their actions, the Russian government has not engaged in anything particularly new or unprecedented on the global stage, even in recent times.

The United States has at various points in recent history established shaky if not false pretexts for invading countries. It has tortured and indefinitely detained foreign civilians. It has run a domestic surveillance state since at least WWII. It continues to erode the public and private rights of its own citizens via unconstitutional legislation, executive orders, or secret spy programs under the guise of national security. If this is democracy, I fail to see a difference in type from brutality administered by an authoritarian government. Only the degree.

Yes, Americans won't likely be regularly sent to Guantanamo for publicly speaking out against the government (unless it's Edward Snowden).While such a difference is necessary for a functional (in the classic sense) liberal democracy, alone it is not sufficient. There are other rights that remain undefended and regularly violated.

With all that said, where in the world would you think it's appropriate to build and sell cutting-edge technologies?
I will say what worked for me ( lost 30 Kgs ( 66 Lbs ) in ~6 months ) sorted by what I think it is easier and more effective:

1. Eat slowly, as slowly as you can, the feeling of being full takes a while to reach your brain ( I know this is not the scientific correct definition but gives the idea ), the slower you eat the less you eat.

2. Drink a lot, something I noticed is that sometimes I want to eat something but the reality is that I want to drink and I'm just eating to get the liquids out of the food, when you want to eat first drink a glass of water and wait 1 minute to see if you still want to eat.

3. Brush your teeth 5 minutes after you eat anything, I myself find washing my teeth a chore and I want to do as less as possible, brushing my teeth after lunch stops me from eating snacks after lunch because I don't want to dirty my teeth and wash them again.

4. Have a food journal, use an app to log everything you eat, before you eat it. It is important that is before because in this way you know how many calories you are going to eat, and sometimes that number is higher than what you expected, at least on me this usually has the effect that I choose to eat less of what I was going to eat or I will eat something else entirely.

5. Eat breakfast as late as you can, and dinner as early as you can. This is called intermittent fasting and works, but it requires quite a willpower.

6. This one is the one I find the hardest but also the most effective: Limit the amount of sweets you eat, I know it is hard as hell and when you see a sweet you already start salivating ( or at least I do ), but say to yourself: "today I will eat maximum 250kcal of sweets ( that is usually 1 croissant max )" or if you are more advanced you can swap today for "this week"

7. This one doesn't really apply to me because in my country we have the culture of cooking, but from what I heard around it helps in countries where cooking at home is uncommon: Cook your food from scratch, don't buy a ready meal, cook it yourself, in this way you have full control of what goes in that meal and you know what goes in it, it will save you from eating unnecessary sugars and conservants.

Handling personal data, health data, or financial data, could be criteria used in licensing.

Codes would exist for safely handling them, just like building codes for safely building a structure.

And no the code wouldn’t include functional vs object oriented programming, just as a building code wouldn’t specify the building’s paint colour.
As I've said elsewhere, I do not drive, fly, eat meat or have kids. My laptop is a 8 years, my phone is a repairable FP3 which has had several parts replaced over the last 3 years. And yes, I rescued two greyhounds from a cruel fate, and I feed them kibble (reconstituted / recovered meat). I have zero problem with the latter, and still call myself am environmentalist.
There are fields where software development practices are regulated by standards (i.e. medical devices). I don’t see the need to regulate all areas. Moreover, anyone can complete a few tutorials and do something useful for society using software: a website, a mobile app, etc. Why would we forego these benefits?

There are situations where mitigating risks is absolutely necessary (again, healthcare is a good example), but in most cases, it’s best to let individuals decide how to best deal with those risks, taking into account their domains and resources to determine how to best produce value.
You had me until Firefox.
I treat myself during walks / exercise by only listening to new music (album releases / new music playlists) during them. It motivates me to get out and be more active.

have you ever tried installing tensorflow with gpu support? to be more explicit, pip does a really bad job with versioning binary dependencies.
The most complex systems in the world are software. The automation behind software is staggering, absolutely mind-blowing. The amount of lives that depend on software in one way or another - from traffic lights to medical equipment would shock most people.

All this without licenses.

Ethical code? You mean laws?

How would you enforce this? Wipe compilers from one’s computer? Interpreters? Remove shells?
ah, but the wood smoke is full of carcinogens, we're better off not eating!
Generally one does not start learning chemical engineering in one's garage with what's to hand.

But people can and do start learning on their bedroom computers, and it's to be encouraged. Such self-taught people can make very valuable contributions, especially when they engage with the wider community. Locking them and their output out "because engineering" is likely to be massively counterproductive.

Like as not, software is different.
Intermitted fasting works on the principle that if you eat 1800kcal in one sitting you are going to puke. I can easily eat even 3000-4000kcal in 1 day, but in one meal going over 1500kcal is very hard.

Edit: Yes I'm wrong I should have said "if you eat 1800kcal of clean food", I forgot the existence of fast food because it is not something common in my country
Drop alcohol consumption. Less sugar. Less of everything.

Start moving more. Throw in some simple body weight exercises (push ups, sit ups burpees). Most people can drop 1kg a week by being mindful.

There are very unsafe compounds that make you loose weight quickly. Unfortunately they can cause death easily.
I just got a new MacBook after using Windows, and am trying to do things the "Mac" way, before I attempt to customize it too much. I kinda like Safari, although it has weird bugs (e.g.: if you use tab groups, it will randomly navigate back and forth). So I like the idea of a better version of Safari. The killer feature is the support of WebExtensions (ad blocker!)

One thing that is really important to me is bookmark sync. It would be really great if you could implement Firefox sync (the source is available, I'm not sure if there are license problems in using it from a third party browser. In any case, if your extension model is powerful enough, somebody could write an open source extension to do it). This is the one feature for which I could imagine buying a pro version.

Another thing that I think would be cool is a tab filter. Press a hotkey, get a list of all tabs. Then press "hacker" and it highlights all tabs with hacker(news), and ⌘-w to close them. Or you could move all tabs with "office" to a new window. Or maybe you find a clever UI to select and close all old, not recently used tabs. This would be great to clean up all the old tabs that accumulate.
Apart from taking forever for your body to get used to it.. Not really. Also once you're an appropriate weight and decide to start changing your diet back to "normal".. You're very likely to fuck it up and end up fat again.

To be honest dieting is only good if you're trying to get to a "goal weight" and you're capable of maintaining a weight. If you're not and that's what got you fat to begin with.. You need a holistic lifestyle change.
