I believe the 70% stat is from the census, and it would % of households. So it is possible that it reflects a higher % of kids not leaving the nest and renting something, but I also don't think its fully compatible with the narrative that Canadians are being squeezed out of housing (by foreigners) if the home ownership rate is higher than at any other time in history.

Nvidia drivers turned me away from Linux completely.

I dont remember exactly but i think it was Fedora 25 or 26 (or around there) where they removed some symbols because some fucking moron thought "they arent used by anything" so they pushed them to torvalds linux repo. And the changed got accepted.

You know what used them? Nvidia drivers.

So after a couple of hours fixing that, which at one point started involving rebuilding the kernel and other things that a normal user shouldnt have to EVER do, i just said fuck it, and installed Windows. That laptop is still running decently as a browser/media player at my folks

Now im just using a Mac as a day to day pc, and a windows laptop for gaming.

Even if i deal with Linux at work on servers, and with containers and stuff, i'll never go back to linux.
Very well. Nuts and Bolts 2 is now entering active development.
> 250 MHz in 1993 is insanity, considering that was the 33 MHz 486 era.

I think the 250 MHz ones appeared later on, in subsequent revisions. Still, one of the promises of RISC was that, since the logic was much simpler, you could jack up clock rates further than it was possible with CISC designs.
This would be a great option. The first run script could easily do that too.

If you wanted to make some users really happy, support a hook script in the same way.

The beautiful thing about censorship, is, it's hard to detect, because those censored must find side channels to announce they've been harmed. The private companies doing the censoring don't publish stats. Your advice, so far, is quite similar to "start your own social network." Do you have anything actionable I can use to make the world a better place?
The OP specifically mentioned "upper classes". It is a fact that the lower classes (lowest quantile) are underrepresented, and the higher classes (highest quantile) are overrepresented [0].

Is this the same mechanism/geometry of the BattleTech Marauder?

I worked on a project that had similar issues.

I think what saved us was the unlimited license we had negotiated for the database server we were using (which wasn’t bad technology), expired and then the company was going to charge us through the nose for any new servers.

That triggered a rearchitecture of our system, into micro services that made sense for the kinds of queries, volume, and load we were dealing with. We did have a lot of data, but many of the queries could be satisfied by a key value store, for example, which didn’t require the same amount of hardware resources.

The original project did lead us to products our customers wanted to buy. Then we just had to change the architecture to fit those actual products.
Luckily my company doesn't have much prescription about commit process, so its up to each team to determine what works for them and we've been pushing for small atomic commits (probably what you'd term micro-commits).

The idea is that each commit should be small enough to fit in one "page" of PR review, with source lines and test line diffs <150 each, and everything should be one integrated and independent change with unit tests all passing and deployable to prod, etc. Honestly, I can't see a downside to this, other than maybe taking a while to internalize this process and to properly decompose commits.

Have you considered advocating for a change of company standards? Sometimes thats a sisyphean task, but if the only argument against it is "that's how it's always been done" it might be a worthwhile endeavor.

At my previous job we ran a bare metal cluster at Hetzner, and monitoring the hardware was quite an intensive task. Always monitoring hard drives network bottlenecks, CPU usage, etc. This was before K8s, so it might not be comparable to today.

Would you say bare metal cost a lot of extra monitoring/maintenance, or is this something you did on the cloud hardware as well anyway? Do you run virtualization on the Hetzner machines?
Sort of but I think you are confusing concepts. Here we have a number spat out of an experiment that is compared to a number from theory. In that case it is fair to use a percentage as a comparison: "My best guess from my experiment is x and theory says y ... x compared to y is z%" "I've used a percentage because it is ubiquitous and easily understood".

However, the experiment should have some uncertainty in it that might be quantised unless it is being performed by $DEITY. We'll also note here that percentages, whilst great for simple number magnitude comparisons are easily the most abused "statistic tool".

What we really want is an estimate of error for x (your measure by experiment). You might be able to quantify your errors in such a way that you can write it down in terms of stand deviations about a mean or perhaps not.

Let's look at an example: Using a steel rule, mark a point. The rule is about 1mm thick. Most people will pin the rule with their dominant hand and sight the mark with their dominant eye. What could possibly go wrong?

Your hand naturally works about 30cm/1' laterally from your head. You probably don't know which is your dominant eye which adds or takes around 15cm/6". So when you naively mark a point with a steel rule you are probably at least 45 degrees out on a 1mm thick rule which is something like 0.5mm. So you soon learn to position your eye over the work but which eye? Most people do have a dominant eye for sighting. Point at something. Close one eye and sight at that thing, then close the other eye and sight at the thing with the other eye. The eye that does not make your finger apparently move is your dominant eye - it is the one that you naturally use to aim/sight with.

That 0.5mm doesn't sound much but that is enough to make a woodwork joint look crap. Once you combine it with the thickness of a pencil strike and other factors, you start to appreciate that carpentry can be tricky.

Now let's do some physics where the measures are really minute and you can't simply move your head 6" to limit your errors. Now we are really going to have to do some science.

The principles are the same though: understand your limitations as best you can and then compensate.
The unlimited access to the digital library is nice, even though you need to pay extra. I don't think for example IEEE offers a similar benefit.
Appeal to percentages is always funny to me. If you get killed by a faulty tire exploding, you can take solace in that it doesn't happen that often. Maybe number of humans is a really good metric.

I used to have issues with conflicting library versions.

But this was to do with Software I was working on requiring legacy versions. I found that docker got rid of this.

Every now and again something would happen and I'd have to fix something after an update but it was very stable. I'm finding administering a Windows network is much the same. Microsoft just released an update that nuked my SMBv1 shares. So I had to fall back to SFTP. I probably should have been using that all along as it allows for a much more secure network.
> Question: What is the equivalent way to do this today?

I don't think there is an equivalent, because as I explained here, the very noticeable, very significant gains in almost every aspect that even simple hardware upgrades brought haven't been a thing for a long time: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30951533

It's not just that back then an "extremely expensive supercomputer" workstation effectively enabled you to do a lot of things that we take for absolutely granted nowadays in the first place. When not having such a beast meant essentially not being able to do any serious CAD (whether mechanical or electrical engineering), large scale software engineering, number crunching, anything related to graphics/visuals...

It's also that super mundane tasks like writing a letter, editing an image, or even just booting your computer received a significant, immediately noticeable boost for comparably plain seeming hardware upgrades like a 33MHz higher clock or a bit more L1 cache.

For the developer working on the change, or for the reviewer + everyone that comes after them looking at your commit (which can include your future self)?

We tend to discount everyone else's time but our own.

Might also be worth thinking about long term asymptotic effort vs marginal effort at a particular point in time--typically, the more often you do something (decomposing a commit into multiple independent parts, in this instance), the easier and less time-consuming it becomes.

Typical unhelpful answer: it depends on the company. I worked at a place with 100k+ employees but where everything was strongly team based, with distributed authority, and it would have been very weird to have a new centrally hired person forced on a team. Otoh I suspect there are much more homogeneous or process driven places where it's cool for someone to just show up and say "I'm the new X" and start doing their job. Like in the military as an extreme example. Really depends.

A lot of people don’t like public transit for several major reasons:

1. It takes a lot longer to get to your destination even accounting for traffic.

2. The potential for harassment based on your gender or race.

3. The potential for sexual assault.

4. The potential for violence.

Unfortunately, Western society at large is not collective and conformist like the one in Japan, which would heavily mitigate 2 out of the 4 problems stated above. Even then, Japan has a huge problem with harassment and sexual assault when it comes to female passengers.
> None of this and other differences disqualifies it as an alternative.

So your friend is in the market to buy a house and tells you about an issue with a particular realtor they are having, and you say...

"I got a great alternative, you can buy a piece of land, rezone it, get permits, go chop down your own wood, build your own house with your bare hands..."

They say to you, I hate my realtor... I don't hate my job. What you're suggesting as an alternative is more like saying that building your own car is an alternative to buying one. They aren't in the same league, and so while it makes sense for people to resell or offer Nextcloud as an option for self-hosted solutions or security, it makes no sense to try to say they are an alternative to Dropbox.

> The differences just mean you don't prefer that particular alternative the same way as if you didn't like the color scheme, or more realistically say the need to make a microsoft account for onedrive, or the way google probably scans the contents of google drive etc.

The differences doesn't mean that I don't like it, in fact I self host a lot of my own solutions. I'm just saying they don't really compare or compete.

Sure, if you want to purchase an array of servers that are distributed across multiple regions and setup a Ceph cluster to distribute storage in a resilient manner then go ahead. By all means do it, but to act like that somehow compares to purchasing a service that already does this is just misleading. After that person spends tens of thousands of dollars to replicate what Dropbox does, then they can finally have an alternative that they never thought of before paying $12/mo. for Dropbox.

> the "better" superweapon would be about precision and speed of destruction...

Taking that idea to its extreme (and while we're discussing an article about potentially exotic physics) a superweapon (or superpower) could be simply "teleportation".

If you could trigger the creation of two ends of a wormhole to appear at arbitrary points in space (without needing any equipment at either point), you could teleport remote photons from your enemy's territory into your research station, which would effectively give you an invisible spy camera that can view anywhere on Earth in real time, allowing you to track all the military hardware and personnel that the enemy has.

An attack would involve (re)moving a few grams of electronics or neurons from the target, and would be almost invisible and unstoppable.

Even if the wormhole had to be "sent" using something like a portal gun, that would still dramatically change the dynamics of the battlefield.
Ask HN: Founder-friendly guide to equity grants / options packages?
Can someone please recommend a good up-to-date guide on creating options pools (ESOP) / options packages that are written from the founder's perspective.

How many options to offer (relevant 2022 also), good vesting schedules etc.

Most of the guides are written from employee's perspectives, and have the tone that assumes the company is out to screw over its employees, so "ask for more because you will receive less".

I just don't want to perform mental gymnastics where I am reading some advice and then divide it by N because the advice is anti-company, and I am, well, the company, and then I end up as essentially that kind of adversarial asshole.

AWS lambda has a bunch of python specific optimisations that make python the best candidate for lambdas, and solve cold-start and other issues you'd normally face with python. (Azure has similar for C#).

I wonder if calling it python enables some of these, while allowing you to actually implement it in something efficient, like C.

Most of the people crying foul over the blind real estate bids have no idea about auction theory and what those assumptions are, and who is favored by the ways in which those assumptions do not hold, and how much.

> The link above assumes the highest bidder knows the price of the underbidder, which is silly

The first price auction and second price auction types are understood to be sealed bid. The English auction is open: bidders can bid more than once and see other bids.

In the second price auction, the underbidder's price is revealed when the auction ends, not during the bidding; the highest bidder pays that price.
It’s a lazy slogan that gets us nowhere. I live in NYC and we’ve built three brand new subway stations in the last fifty years.

It’s not just a matter of people’s preferences for cars, it’s not possible to build a non car city anymore due to pathologies that have nothing to do with “car culture”.

The number one issue is that we’ve allowed too many people and interest groups to effectively bring any major project to a halt. This is not some inherent feature of democracy either, you can have a democracy where the majority gets to do things. We just don’t have one of those in the US, or Canada it sounds like.

> a cover for something else

What are you accusing me of? I am literally just a technology professional who likes to compare notes about important aspects of my career with other professionals. It's not a cover for anything else. I am just one individual trying to stay informed and so are the people I have met through these channels. I can't imagine for what "something else" an autobiographical blog post might cover.

>It would be nice to talk to the generations you mentioned. Not sure you did

I am a third generation software developer, as it happens, so I have more-than-average familiar with the history of the information technology industry (to say nothing of the history I've read). Of course, there is a LOT of ground I haven't covered, and of which I remain ignorant. This is one of the many reasons I like articles such as these, autobiographical works and conversations with other technology workers.

> Workplace was a lot worse in the 50s, from working hours to safety

Not in every way and while, yes, we've seen improvements—so what? Are we done? There's still much unnecessary suffering. I don't think we're done. Ours is an industry of innovation, of development. Why should employee relations stagnate? Why should working conditions stagnate? And, in some cases, get worse?

> Still, people had liberties, could create friendships and gather and talk openly and free. These days

These days, we alter our language to evade censorship algorithms from private for-profit corporations who've enclosed the public forum. We create mere token "friendships" in undemocratic virtual reality, or undemocratic workplaces — where a friendship is terminated when employment is terminated: at the whim of a boss. It's the legalistic corralling of human behavior by undemocratic software media that's "killing free speech," and "forcing agendas" written in code. Read some Kafka, for crying out loud. To go online is to "stand before the law" as much as in any analog bureaucracy of which I've read an account — including Solzhenitsyn's!

The "atomizing [of] society" comes from a hollowing out of our social institutions by television, by the commercialization of public space and of free time. Read Putnam's "Bowling Alone" for the details.

"Friction between races, sexes, classes and everything" has always been here, but now that the internet's letting us peer into one-another's lives, we're noticing it. And we're going to have to resolve it. We can't sweep it under the rug for another generation.

> With one hand they complain, with the other they cause the situation

Famously: we didn't start the fire. ;)

> there is no honesty there

I don't know who you're talking about, but probably not the author of this post, and probably not me. Again, I am just a 3rd generation software engineer trying to make it in the industry just like my parents and grandparents, except conditions have changed and what worked for them isn't working any more.

Thanks for the opportunity to exchange perspectives.
I still don't get why this question seems to be almost political.

Cheating works for me, because the addiction is not directly to the game but to the sense of accomplishment that I derive from the game, and often the anticipation too. Cheating removes that accomplishment and allows me to lose interest in a game way faster.
