Don't put words in my mouth. You probably think yourself clever, having trapped me with a "gotem". Actually, you kinda just made yourself look foolish. You have demonstrated a clear lack of understanding in how the justice system works.

I'll educate you.

Prosecutors have to bring charges to hold people accountable. If the prosecutor doesn't bring charges or does a poor job presenting their case, criminals aren't held accountable.

If a prosecutor brings charges and secure a conviction, the judge needs to provide an appropriate sentence. It used to be the case that judges had a lot of discretion as to how to sentence an offender. Now sentencing is tightly controlled by state law and sentencing guideline commissions, which are GENERALLY soft on crime (in the name of "equity").

State law and/or sentencing commissions ultimately decide what the maximum punishment for a crime can be.

So in short, you're wrong about Chesa Boudin. If ANY ONE of the above three entities fails to hold criminal accountable, the entire system fails to hold criminals accountable. In Chesa Boudin's case, he's failing at least as much as every other component.
Well, HN became big enough that it's worth trying to game it with ads. But HN does a pretty good job of removing (or at least hiding) them by flagging and downvoting, so I'm not sure that it's proof of jumping the shark.

Congressional members (House and Senate) earn $174k/year, which is rather less than leadership of comparable scope is paid in private industry.

Of course, having powerful people who control trillions of spending be not be very well paid themselves above the table has...myriad exciting ways to go wrong.

As a taxpayer I'd rather government leadership paid extremely well and heavily fund GSA audits to ensure strong oversight (and jail time) for those that abuse the position. Fun fact: GSA saves taxpayers $10 for every $1 spent.
Mozilla has to make statistical assumptions about their users, and statistically any random person's DNS will be set to resolve using their ISP. Mozilla may see this as predatory (ISPs in general are not exactly great companies who care for their customers), and so from their perspective comparing "Average DNS use" to "We vetted a company & trust them & we feel good making this decision for our users" sounds worth doing. There may be some latent assumptions about "well power users will just turn this off like they do everything we build" which would also support the action taken.

With that defense in mind, it's still a shitty thing to do to your users. I don't like it, but 99% of the world doesn't even understand what the change means.

>> It can take pilots up to 30 seconds to reorient themselves, a long time while behind the stick of a jet aircraft.

Their is an old chopper pilot saying: the faster the aircraft the slower the pilot. You think 30 seconds is a long time in a fighter jet at 30,000 feet? Try 30 seconds when trying to land helicopter on the deck of a pitching ship. A 747 flies at basically the same speed as a fighter (~mach 0.8), in many cases actually faster. Nobody talks about those pilots having to think quickly. The time to make decisions is a function of how close you are to the ground, not how fast you are moving.

It'd be cool to be able to dynamically deploy new configuration options without deploying new device code, or remove bad configurations. Looks like that could be possible but it would depend on your app to supply the configuration.

I agree with this (and that manager sounds awful). But want to note that having a successful remote/async team has a few prerequisites:

(1) Skilled, engaged contributors.
Most high touch management processes (frequent 1-1s, agile ceremonies) exist in order to motivate, guide, and create accountability for mediocre/disengaged employees. High performers can execute successfully in a process vacuum (in fact, they often do their best work with maximal freedom), but unfortunately not all teams are composed exclusively of high performers.

(2) Team members need to have shared values and a baseline level of trust and respect for each other. If they don't trust each other, disagree about technical approaches, or there are power struggles within the team, frequent meetings are often necessary to resolve disagreements that can otherwise spiral and bog everyone down.

How do agencies with FAANG clients keep staff from leaving for FAANGs?
I'm an engineer at an agency in the Midwest. We have a FAANG as a client. I like my current company, but since I'm always assigned to projects for the FAANG, which I enjoy — and since FAANGs of course pay their employees very well — I decided to apply for and was offered a job there. (Contractually our clients can't "poach" us, but we're free to apply wherever.)

As I say my good-byes, when other employees learn where I'm going they sound very interested in applying, themselves. I feel a little bad about starting some kind of exodus, since the agency has treated me well. My boss didn't really even counter-offer since he admitted that the agency can't hope to compete with FAANGs.

This makes me curious — how do agencies/consultancies prevent this from happening?

Of course some employees will prefer agencies for various reasons, but the benefits and pay of big tech companies are really appealing, and far beyond what most agencies could afford.

Are executives aware that this is a risk when they win a contract with a FAANG?

> the only explanation is that GoDaddy knew I had searched it and so bought it pre-emptively

They've been known to do this in the past (or at least so I've heard), and yes getting a domain purchased within an hour is unlikely, but with millions of domains out there, this would happen by chance eventually.

It could also be a compromised chrome extension and not necessarily GoDaddy doing it.
I’m a civil libertarian. Hideous though it may be, Nazis should be allowed to march through Jewish neighborhoods.

But that’s different from Nazis going around on a subway screaming racial insults at passengers.

For many passengers that would make the subway unusable.

Remember this thread is ultimately about “why public transit is better than people having cars.”

Antisocial behavior is a disadvantage of public transit, and in some cases makes it unusable.

I think keeping this conversation focused around public transit is a good idea.
> There are a huge number of mostly non-JS-specific problems that monorepo tooling eventually needs to solve: distributed build artifact and test result caching, distributed action execution, sandboxing, resource management and queuing, observability, and integration with other CI tools to name a few.

Turborepo author/founder here....

I agree. I built Turborepo because existing tools weren’t meeting our needs.

To solve these problems and still be flexible, many existing build tools end up with lots of configuration bloat. We’re trying to avoid that. We want to reimagine the developer experience of monorepo tooling and make it accessible for everyone.
TVs are terrible for handling audio. Either internally or via ARC/eARC. Not only in terms of codecs but also sync, surround, etc.

You best bet is buying a dedicated HT receiver and plugging your video sources into it (ATV, Nvidia, BluRay, etc).

It's worth noting the ATV does not have HDMI audio passthrough and the latest version has a ton of issues with Atmos:

As far as I'm aware, the MiG-25 is not a surface-to-air missile. There were no MiG-25s in Vietnam either.

The SR-71 was fast enough to avoid surface-to-air missiles, but it was much too slow to avoid the air-to-air missiles carried by a MiG-25.

I think framework-specific stuff like that is better handled by higher-level tooling, typically something that's just embedding Mutagen. DDEV, for example, adds that type of functionality for PHP-based projects, while embedding Mutagen underneath.

The goal with Mutagen itself is (ideally) to be invisible - only providing synchronization and forwarding. Even Mutagen Compose (being just tweaked version of Docker Compose) probably falls too low in the stack to know anything about the specific frameworks being used atop it.

That being said, I think this is something that Compose wants to address, and that Mutagen Compose could inherit once it's added to the Compose Spec and implemented into Docker Compose. Things like profile specifications in Compose files are designed to encapsulate these types of operations (among other things).
I don’t really care, but it’s a bit childish. At least it’s not mentioned anywhere else when you’re using it.
Abstract the hardware platform from the OS and applications. You know, like pretty much every operating system except linux on arm. Everyone complains about having to install drivers on windows, but having a driver ABI is largely how one can expect 10+ years of OS updates without any particular engineering work. The OS and applications get updated and as long as they maintain the driver API the graphics drivers, network drivers, etc all continue to work. Once in a while you have to go back and revisit this stuff, but drivers themselves are rarely sources of exploits because they exist below all the userspace interaction shielded by the kernel, and on the HW side tend to be little more than shims to forward data/packets/etc from the HW to the OS.

The problem is so deep, even I don't understand it. All I can say is that when we can get Republicans to stop denying climate change, and work with Democrats on the issue, they will figure out how to solve it very quickly.

---

I went to a debate between a well-established Republican, Randy Hunt, (who was rumored to replace Senator Warren if she was picked for VP,) and a first-time running Democrat.

The Democrat's response to climate change was to just put solar panels all over the place. He had no knowledge about how we need to store energy for when the sun goes down; no knowledge about how there's more sunlight in the summer, but we need more energy in the winter, ect, ect.

Randy spoke about working with MIT for energy storage, and promoted a local project to build the USA's largest offshore windfarm.

Even though I'm a D, I voted for Randy. When the D's supporters knocked on my door, I told them straight up that I live in a carbon neutral home, drive two electric cars, and that Randy (the R) understood how to battle climate change much more than their candidate.

But even worse, a year later I met some of the D's friends. They had no clue about how renewable energy works, and couldn't comprehend why I'd vote against a D. I tried to point out why you just can't put solar panels everywhere, but their eyes glazed over.

Former Fed for 10 years. Loved working for the Federal Government. I made 100k+ as a software engineer.

I left Federal Service in February 22 because the private sector doubled my salary.

My work is much easier in the private sector and I work a lot less. I’m getting paid double. I have a team now I can rely on. I didn’t have this in Gov.

Many Gov IT positions will go unfilled for months. I had one organization offer me 25k, fully remote to work there and I declined. Why? The amount of work is insane for a individual developer.

This idea that we shouldn’t pay people because they work in Government is insane. Peoples mistrust of government, but really it’s misguided.
I would call it almost, but not quite native. There are some things MS internal apps can do, but that WinUI 3 can't. (Until recently, creating additional Windows, but also things like blurred transparency.)

I think a real native solution would be shipped with the system, and get an updated theme and feel with an OS update. But the last version that did this was Win32/Uxtheme and to some extent WPF. Metro/UWP formally did this, but it encourages you to hardcode a lot of styles, so you have to update your app when a new Windows version comes out. But I think MS has moved away from shipping the UI library with the system.

The real native UI is what MS uses internally, and for a lot of products that is DirectUI. It is used in Explorer, the start menu used it for some time in Win10, I think the control center also used it. But also MSN messenger used it, and Office, too. Spiritually it is similar to WinUI 3 I think: implemented in native code, drawing "windowless", and using some kind of XAML.

No one is stopping anyone from using their chair. The issue is when they leave it unattended in a community center for years and expect the volunteers there to fix it for free, and then get mad when the volunteers throw it out because it started to break and rot and they have no money to fix it and it's actively harming people who sit in it.

If someone really wants to use that chair they could very easily go and locate the broken chair in the junkyard again. But nobody actually wants to do that because when you press them, they admit they're just being nostalgic and actually it's got lots of protruding rusty nails and they'll get poked if they pick it up again.
While we're initially focused on JavaScript and TypeScript codebases, you can already use Turborepo with any language as long as you define tasks through `package.json` scripts and use npm/pnpm/yarn workspaces. Turborepo is written in Go and uses `turbo` to build `turbo` in its own monorepo[1].

We're discussing more native support for other languages. It would likely be a commitment to a small subset of popular languages (e.g. Rust, Go, C++, Python) while still maintaining our goal of nearly zero configuration.
