Oh, interesting. But if the DAG requirement still stands, then it can still be converted into forward-only branches. Why not force that work into the bytecode compiler (or macro assembler) and simplify the kernel logic?
Have you used the Lightning Network?
I find this is true for me, but I ultimately don't work for a FAANG because the money isn't that important to me and there are many things about FAANG companies I don't like. However I don't think this generalizes well for people who do aggressively pursue careers at FAANG companies.

My experience has been that most of the people I know that work for FAANG are extremely TC conscious, that's a large part of why they work at a FAANG in the first place and the source of a non-trivial amount of their self worth. If you look around the comments on Blind (a biased source for sure, but certainly a non-zero part of the community) you'll find plenty of people where TC is all that matters.

I interviewed at FB a few years ago and one thing that surprised me when I asked "what's your favorite thing about working here?" I got the same answer from everyone I talked to: the compensation/benefits. I thought for sure the answers would involve working on hard problems at scale, having incredible amounts of data etc. However without fail every interviewer immediately pointed out their comp and other perks as their primary motivator for working there.

In general I would say that people that make a lot of money, make a lot of money because making a lot of money is important to them.

Assuming that this is a real effect, it seems that the causality could be in either direction: perhaps atrophy in the brain contributes to pain, or perhaps constant pain causes the pain-related regions of the brain to atrophy.
Looks interesting. Might be worth looking at the Emacs Org Mode support for TODO lists[1]. Just as a reference for how someone else dealt with TODOs in a text format, but with a pretty complete feature set.

This is the No True Hipster fallacy all over again. I am firmly on the left and I know damn well which cultural cluster “wokeism” refers to. And so do you. Saying it doesn’t exist is a transparent gaslighting tactic.
The pixel density of a 4K+ monitor makes all the difference, however. Text is much nicer to read.
Genuinely curious: why would you want to access the DOM with wasm? Can't we finally let html be for documents and wasm be for applications? The pain of shoe-horning applications into the DOM is not going to end because wasm has access to it. This also seems like a classic way to have the entire industry misunderstand a technology, misapply it, and again, continue the pain of building applications on top of html with JavaScript/wasm.

Sorry for that rant, but I went into panic mode when I saw your question.

It reminds me of how everyone misunderstood smalltalk/OOP because they saw on it in terms of the existing paradigm. The misunderstanding pretty much cut us off from the real benefits of the idea because we got distracted writing classes and abstractions instead of passing around code with data across the network.

Maybe I'm off base here but my fear is that people see wasm new/cool/shiney and use it instead of JavaScript, and in the ensuing hype we lose the most valuable aspects of the technology (as partially demonstrated by Spin).

They really aren’t. The store of value is the use case. Now you may not have confidence that the social contract for that value will persist. I personally don’t have a high degree of confidence. But to continue to ignore that this itself isn’t the value add is obtuse to the realities of political turmoil.

> Most 4k monitors are 24 inches

Where are you getting this? I was looking at monitors recently and it's impossible to find ANY 24" 4K monitors. Most of them are 27", which at that screen size you really need scaling. My LG 27" 4K recently went out so I downgraded to my older 1440p 27" monitor. I'm not using scaling anymore, but the text doesn't have that buttery smooth look...
If you love this style and want something intentionally ridiculous check out the various writings at https://www.mcsweeneys.net/
Which shows that there's really no desire on either side to actually address the problem, just to bandaid over it enough so that the status quo can continue.
Changed to that from https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb3JlY3Vyc2l2ZS5.... Thanks!

Odds are you have heard of the Agile Manifesto, but it is a good reminder to re-read it, as most people drift away from its principles as they develop their own processes:

https://agilemanifesto.org/

As far as extending it beyond software... why? It is specific to the problems encountered in software. It was also a product of its time, as a reaction to where the industry had gone with waterfall processes. Does it truly make sense to expand to other areas?

Ask HN: Did Apple intentionally leave a door open for Jailbreaking?
.. and should every company do this?

Do you think Apple intentionally left a door open for jailbreaking iOS in the early days? Or in other words: Did Apple realize the potential jailbreaking had to catalyze innovation in this very new product category?

Apple had this new product and some sort of vision for it, but why limit yourself to your own company and a set of employees when you could leverage the creativity of any developer in the world?

In the early versions of iOS Apple did copy a lot of features from the jailbreaking community. One might argue that sooner or later Apple would have come up with these features anyway, but the community might have fast-tracked the development of the OS and the capabilities of this new device.

Do you drink water out of every faucet?

You just need it for the one faucet in the kitchen you'd be drinking water out of.

Would that completely eliminate all your lead consumption? No, when you are brushing I'm sure you swallow some water, etc, but it would eliminate at least 90% of it.
People will find a way to interpret anything with gender as offensive. Like people complain about the default voice of assistants like Siri being female, saying that female was picked because people want women to be subservient to them. But if you made those assistants male voiced by default, it could still be spun as being misogynist with a reason like: people think men are more intelligent and therefore want a man to answer their questions.

Seems that Apple realized that they can't win with either of those as the default, so now the default voice is one that's intended to be ambiguous.
There's still room for ambiguity or disagreement, though. Just from the top-level: Does "biological sex" refer to chromosomal sex or to anatomical sex? By either definition most (all?) individuals will be closer to the norm for one or the other. But in a handful of cases, including the one that you linked to, an individual will be male by one definition and female by the other. I don't see a particular reason to favor one definition over the other when talking about biological sex.
How about the sound of children playing outside? The sound of a baseball popping into a well-worn leather mitt still exists, but is becoming awfully rare. It ain't tech, but it's a byproduct of tech.
This is Democratic Party in USA. Headlines look great but if you look into it, the subsidies for electric vehicles exclude Tesla, first Covid bill bailed out the mob pension funds from Italian Job. Problem is it takes a while to notice this, so a lot of europeans love Democrats.
The LS swap is the equivalent of gutting a classic computer or piece of stereo equipment and jamming in a Raspberry Pi. Occasionally it's an improvement, sometimes the original parts were too far gone, but a lot of the time it's just lazy vandalism.
The state of Washington is an interesting case. They had annual inspections and then somebody ran the numbers and found that so few cars were being flagged, that it was an enormous waste of resources. They got rid of their inspection requirement.

More programs should be run like that. Set a goal, create a program, then periodically evaluate if the goal is still the same and if the program is effective.
I don't mean this as a gotcha, but you don't have to see culture war crap! It's a lesson I personally learned this lesson much later in life than I should have. If "Inclusive Coding Bot on GitHub" doesn't sound like a topic you want to talk about, it's 100% okay to not click into the comments section. (It's not even on the front page anymore - these kinds of posts tend not to last long there.)

As above, if it did sound like a topic you want to talk about, I think you should reflect on why that is and why people who aren't "moralizing frenzy-bots" might nevertheless want to talk about how they don't like it. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I've seen a lot of people say "I can't believe we're arguing about this nonsense" with the strong expectation that the result shouldn't be no conversation but a conversation where everyone agrees.
I think the "vitriol" is perfectly valid.

Vague statements of "it will get better in the future" are non-binding and leave lots of wiggle room.

Let's be honest, the monitor does like two things that Apple claims justify the inclusion of the A13 (and the whopping 64 internal memory): the camera and sound.

Everyone who has used the product turns on the camera and instantly knows its garbage. Either Apple somehow got caught unaware or they thought it was good enough.
Same here, but it happens when it wears off. If i just don't use it, there's no pain.
I use this https://github.com/erichs/composure which seems to do more.

> It is true that Communism, being inherently unworkable

Not really. And 'Communism' is an abstract philosophy, the Soviet Union was an actually workable system. And if you can survive from 1917 to 1990 you can survive a lot of stuff.

> would have collapsed eventually anyways.

Anything collapses 'eventually' but there is no inherent reason the Soviet Union would have had to stop existing for 100s of years.

> But to suggest that the West had nothing to do with it is contrary to history and contrary to what the leaders of the USSR frequently complained about.

Sure the Soviet Union was not alone on a planet. And of course the Soviet leadership action were about problems in their country but it emphatically was not the inability fight the US military.

> Yes, those treaties acknowledge that the USSR lost.

Please point out how they acknowledge that.
You entirely miss the topic.

Const generics, what C++ calls non-type template parameters, is a recent and fundamental complexification of Rust. Libraries using them, as always and ever for all features and all libraries can be simple, but a person coding a library that would benefit from the feature is in no way insulated from it. Async/await, similarly. There is no end to those. They add complexity, but solve real problems. Novices can be shielded, but professionals cannot be, because the features are exactly those needed by the professionals.

Clipboard Health | clipboardhealth.com | all roles (esp. Engineering Manager) | Full Time | Remote |

Short-staffed facilities hurt patients, hospitals, and caregivers. Clipboard Health matches healthcare professionals to open shifts so that patients get the care they need. We do this through transparently sharing open shifts to deep pools of talent, instant validation of credentials, and instant payments to remove the administrative burden and wait times of staffing.

We're a talent marketplace that is helping to solve the crisis of short-staffed healthcare facilities.

Clipboard Health doubled our engineering team in Q1, and we're looking for technical leaders to help us execute on our product strategy, to serve more healthcare professionals and facilities, faster.

We are working on a modern stack with great tooling, and we're tackling cool, hard problems in pursuit of a meaningful mission.

In a hypergrowth company (post Series B, 25x rev growth in last 18 months), great team leads get promoted to EM, and great EMs lead larger teams doing more important work.

When they talk about "GPS" jamming, do they also mean Europe's Galileo, Chinese BeiDou and Russian GLONASS as well? Do they jam their own navigation systems or do they risk upsetting the Chinese by jamming theirs?
Genealogists are really excited about the 1950 census, because a slew of new questions were included. A blogger I follow lists what to expect:

https://climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/p/1950-census.html

One of the more interesting optional annotations: Enumerators could note if they thought the respondent was lying, and write down what they thought the truth was! (https://climbingmyfamilytree.blogspot.com/2020/01/extra-nota...)

As others have pointed out, FamilySearch will be indexing the records and making them available for free. It's a massive effort involving hundreds of thousands of volunteers plus a large investment in technology and other resources:

https://www.familysearch.org/en/info/1950-census-details

By comparison, Ancestry (now owned by Blackstone Inc.) will charge money to access these public records ... and this comes on heels of jacking up subscription prices across the board, up to 25% (https://www.ancestry.com/corporate/blog/were-increasing-our-...)

MyHeritage is also indexing 1950 records, but these will be paywalled like Ancestry.
Considering the number of people out there making enormous salaries doing jobs on computers, spending 10+ hours a day looking at their screen, 1800€ does not sound insane at all.

Same thing applies to any tool of any trade. I work with surgeons, and you would be amazed how unfathomably expensive all their instruments are.

(Though to be fair I do all my work on a pair of 100€ monitors.)
This reviewer has three "cons".

(1) stand too low; (2) screen is glossy; (3) speakers have too much bass for video conferences.

(1) and (2) are addressed by the options Apple provides, so they are really complaints about the price (and those options are pricy!).

(3) seems pretty minor (notice the author also has the speakers in the "pros" column) and can maybe be addressed with a basic equalizer of some some.

In other words, all three cons are actually tradeoffs, which exist for all options (these are an individual call we all need to make).
I think you're being downvoted because your tone is a bit hostile, so I'll bump you up because I think you make a good point.

I love functional idioms as well, but you have to know the cost of those idioms in a non-functional language. The first thing I did when I had to learn go was determine if I could use functional idioms (map, fold, etc.) and did some research and testing and found that, no, functional idioms are a really bad idea in go. It just isn't meant to be used that way.

For the record, I had to learn go because the team I joined used it.
The issue isn't clever jokes or pranks - like most people on HN, I know the history too of course it's all great.

The problem is that companies started doing it by rote as a way to promote themselves with teh hackerz. That's lame and boring. It had gotten lame and boring years before I made that post in 2014. How much lamer and boringer is it now? exercise for the reader.

The nicest thing about running HN is that we have only one thing to optimize for: curiosity (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...). Curiosity doesn't go well with predictability and repetition (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...). Therefore we downweight predictable and repetitive things when we notice them. Simple, no? and by the same principle, genuinely unpredictable things are just as welcome as they ever were.

Same goes for jokes. The only problem with jokes is that people tend to overestimate how funny theirs are, as scott_s pointed out years ago in his classic statement on the topic: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289.
