It's good to note that it depends largely on the company you're looking at.

I work for a very large organization (~£6bil in revenue, £700mil in profit last year) and we suffer from the "mud" problem - nothing about our technology stack is particularly special, it's just a hodgepodge of many different technologies that struggle to work together. That's not entirely fair - I work within a very unique solution inside of this firm, but I'm in a very unique position and I'm sad to say that it took a silly amount of hard work just to be able to not work on legacy applications.

That being said, the companies you mention (Netflix, Github) work completely differently - they were designed with tech in mind! They probably are much more lean in a technological sense, and don't suffer from enterprise architectural issues that large legacy firms do.

I suspect that this inability to move has singlehandedly killed more than one company, though I haven't studied the market to the point that I could really name any. The real kudos has to be given to large companies that existed before the internet and were able to move away from their slow-to-adapt, horribly inefficient legacy systems.
If farmers can't profitably farm they sell the land off to other interests or go bankrupt. People are not choosing to go into farming....at all. thus a bankrupt farm will sit fallow, be bought by some golf course development, or be turned into a "nature preserve", reducing capacity. The dots are not hard to connect.
Doing nothing and relaxing in a tropical paradise sounds great until everyone else gets the same idea and wants to do the same and moves there. Then, your island is no longer self sufficient, and the only jobs locals are qualified for are low-skill services for foreign tourists.

This is not possible because objects (including cats) in freefall do not experience the sensation of acceleration.

I think he said what he meant. But, I think you meant "I know you linked a wiki that explains the film is based on a memoir in the first line, but you've already exposed yourself to the 'It was a book first!' attack, and I don't want to have to turn in my 'Ackchyually Guy,' membership card." Since we're speculating.

A more charitable reading would be that you simply meant, "Yes, that movie is based on a book by one of those marines." Maybe with some added opinion on whether you enjoyed it or found it equally as enlightening.
95% of the ratings I leave aren't 5 stars, so that number triggers my fake-reviews alarm. I'm generally far more suspicious of a 4.9 rating than a 4.2.
the same is true of java - less so in newer versions, but older versions the stdlib was pretty slim and low-level and there was a massive amount of library code written to wrap around it.

it still doesn't devolve to the javascript phenomenon of one-file (or one-function) libraries and so on. Dozens of libraries, sure, hundreds, maybe, but nobody actually has thousands of dependencies like you do on node.

Apparently "number of repos maintained" is a KPI so there's some gamesmanship there. Maybe it's also being used as a caching thing, smaller files might be more cacheable if you don't minify?

More generally though this may be the result of that "enterprise culture" that is sometimes looked down on in other situations, that at least stuff is getting bundled into appropriate packages for distribution vs just chucking every single file into a node package.

Did you know how a news paper used to choose what articles it wanted to run?

Do you know how a TV channel decides to schedule stories?

Humans, its all humans. Looking at the metrics, and steering stuff that feeds that metric.

Content filters are dumb and easy to understand. seriously, open up a fresh account at FB, instagram, twitter or tiktok.

First it'll try and get a list of people you already know. Don't give it that.

Then it'll give you a bunch of super popular but click baity influencers to follow. why? because they are the things that drive attention.

if you follow those defaults, you'll get a view of whats shallow and popular: spam, tits, dicks and money.

If you find a subject leader, for example a independent tool maker, cook, pattern maker, builder, then most of your feed will be full of those subjects, save for about 10% random shit thats there to expand your subject range (mostly tits, dicks, spam or money)

What you'll see is stuff related to what you like and stare at.

And thats the problem, they are dumb mirrors. Thats why you don't let kids play with them. Thats why you don't let people with eating disorders go on them, thats why mental health needs to be more accessible, because some times holding up a mirror to your dark desires is corrosive.

Could filter designers do more? fuck yeah, be we also have to be aware that filters are a great whipping boy for other more powerful things.
I'm not sure what to make of this - Today there were a lot of news reports stating (more or less) the same headline (varies from "Magic mushroom compound performs as well as antidepressant in small study" to "Magic mushroom compound ‘rewires the brain for people with depression’" (https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/magic-mush...) but when you head to the actual study at (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2032994) their conclusion states ....

"On the basis of the change in depression scores on the QIDS-SR-16 at week 6, this trial did not show a significant difference in antidepressant effects between psilocybin and escitalopram in a selected group of patients. Secondary outcomes generally favored psilocybin over escitalopram, but the analyses of these outcomes lacked correction for multiple comparisons."

So (shrug)
You may have been scammed, or you may have simply purchased from a home business that sells on multiple channels. Lots of Etsy sellers are also eBay sellers and also Amazon Handmade sellers. If you've already shipped your inventory to Amazon's warehouse, it can be cheaper and easier to have Amazon fulfill the orders regardless of what channel they come in on.
Ask HN: Is there a video game dev alternative to HN?
That mirrors the collective expertise and lower noise ratio that exists here. Subreddits like /r/gamedev are mostly novice posts and people venting. gamedev.net mostly exists for posting questions. VFX/game art subreddits are really cool, though mostly exist to show off. It's good all of these places exist, and I'm not complaining about them. It's just that it splits the community into individual secs and there's little crossover (that I can tell).

There are many disciplines that coalesce together to create a video game, and there are around 300,000 people working in the field. Where is the central meeting point?
However, there's literally no incentive for the owners and investors to protect that initial plot. Etsy is so big, that it won't ever fail overnight. As long as it's profitable for a few years and everyone gets a fat check out of it, they are happy. This will always happen. Never trust cult brands to stay loyal to the niche market that made them successful to begin with.
I hate when a program tells me what I have to do. I always think "damn it program, if you know what to do, just do it already. I say what to do, and you do it".

For example when terraform tells me to run "terraform init", as if actually typing the letters on the keyboard had any benefit...

I always dread the "two truths and a lie" game, usually performed in front of a large group of people you don't know. It's the ultimate trap. Either come up with two things that sound impressive to strangers, or risk being seen as a bore. Plus you'll never beat Todd who went before you and is literally the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the World. Fuck you Todd.

This is not historically accurate. Insurance through employers came out of the federally mandated price controls during WW2, and was later solidified by massive tax breaks for corporations for providing said insurance (under the eager endorsement by unions among others). Changing the system would require changing the tax incentive. Changing the deduction to apply to individuals could be a path forward.

> So the actual effect of this is just to force people to buy their shipping labels through etsy directly. I presume etsy gets a bulk discount and keeps the difference.

Yes. A lot of ecommerce companies (Etsy, Amazon, eBay, Shopify, etc) have a labels side-business that works in this way. Volume-based discounts from carriers.
"Calling it the "Putin price hike," Psaki said she expected to see "a large difference" between headline inflation and "core" CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices.

Economists say the annual inflation rate could be close to 8.5 percent, the highest seen since late 1981.

According to the median forecast of analysts, monthly CPI growth will accelerate to 1.2 percent compared to February when the gain was 0.8 percent rate, while core CPI will remain unchanged at 0.5 percent.,,

So its energy and food then I guess based off of this statement alone.
I live and work in countries with good social security nets and less overtly dystopian work conditions (not perfect of course). I still agree with his advice. Work is a game we play for money. No more real than a choreographed dance. Companies do not really care for you, that should not need stating. Your coworkers might, and if the ones you're friendly with are high up or influential, things might seem like a family. It's actually an in-group.

Don't waste your time trying to be collectivist in an inherently individualistic system. You need to play the game by its rules if you want any results. And less stress.
Wouldn't that make it awkward to combine help with any other option? I guess that's an edge case, but still...
Monopoly is not this case.

This is case of extreme complexity, which could not handled by one country, even by so big country.

In reality, all G7 economies involved in semiconductor produce, and they also use lot of resources of other countries - this is how reality look.

When somebody will create General AI, capable to substitute scientist, but to be strict, when this somebody will have thousands or maybe 100s thousands of such artificial scientists, this somebody will have opportunity to make his own semiconductor monopoly, but not earlier.

> Last I checked, pretty much the entire rest of the OECD was between 40% and 70% of US per-capita spending on healthcare.

Per capita numbers can be misleading on healthcare as health is labor intensive, so countries with higher wages will have higher per capita costs with otherwise similar systems.

OTOH, the US spends the second highest share of GDP on healthcare, globally, behind Tuvalu, and about a time and half the GDP share of the second highest large, developed state (Germany). [0]

Wow! I'd never even heard of an AT-1! It seemed like everybody around where I lived at the time was either selling the AE-1, the AE-1 Program, or the A-1. Now I see on Wikipedia there was not only the AT-1 that you had, but also an AV-1 and an AL-1. They all had the same bodies and lens mounts but slightly different features. I never knew!
Big farms use crazy automated machines that almost (or do) drive themselves. Maximizing output allows them to set the market price because to generate so much compared to any other grower (like OPEC with oil).
I have been trying to google this concept of confusion for years. Finally, an article where someone has had the same thought as me about the consistency.

I avoid etsy for this reason. I want original work. Its in etsys interest to stamp this out.

They are not another ebay and shouldn't want to be.
So, let me get this straight:

* It's been deleted for a week already, they estimate they might need two more weeks. Three in total.

* They claim to have "extensive backups", and hundreds of engineers working on it.

What? How? This simply doesn't go together. Why would restoring from backup take three weeks?

Either their backups aren't complete, or they need new software written for the restore, or something else doesn't add up.

I haven't administered their software yet, but what I've learned from the sidelines, at least Jira doesn't seem to be rocket science. A database, an application server (maybe a few instances for larger sites), a bit of config, some caches. This really shouldn't take three weeks to restore.

Yeah, I forgot I was on HN. I keep forgetting how many people here have extreme difficulty detecting subtle sarcasm. Even a casual perusal of my comments would have uncovered that I have a, probably unhealthy, distrust of most things government.
The fee increase does not "literally" only harm the sellers. Fee increases are necessarily passed on to buyers (as are all expenses; buyers are the only source of funds moving in the marketplace), so if you feel that a fee increase is a harm, it's also harming the buyers. However, the fee increase does not only harm anyone. The increased funds going to Etsy will be spent, and some of that money will be spent on growing the number of buyers on their platform, which puts money back into sellers' pockets. Potentially growing their business by even greater than the 1.5% the fee is going up. After the increase, Etsy still has the lowest fees of any major marketplace -- cheaper then eBay, cheaper than Amazon Handmade, etc.

Believe me I have my share of problems with Blue and have made countless jokes but whether it is a vanity project or not.

They are launching humans to sub-orbital space. They have working Ox-rich engine and such an engine has never before been built in the US. They are not SpaceX level but such a project is quite a complex under-taking.

They are a contractor for ULA and the whole military is depending on them. This is pretty serious business.

Impressions from a first-time Mac user
... for prior licensees. IIRC, they stopped selling new licenses last year.
"Of course it's higher, what you're sacrificing is career growth. Early on in your career thats usually not the right move."

I heard that a lot early in my career, having started out in startups. To some extent it's true for the first ~4 years: you gain a lot more background knowledge, problem solving ability, and confidence by wearing lots of hats and owning lots of problems end-to-end.

But I think you have to be realistic about how experience transfers. FAANG-level companies typically discount basically all experience in startups and small businesses they haven't heard of. You might be a senior developer in a small startup, but you'll get downleveled to an L3 new grad level at a FAANG. And you'll make more money, so they figure you'll take it. Or you might be a C-suite founder and (assuming you still have your technical chops) end up as a L6 eng manager (again, probably with better comp, assuming your founder stock isn't going up).

I've never once seen a Director hired from the outside without a.) coming from a Director position at a peer company, eg. Facebook -> Google or b.) having enough money that they don't need to work ever again. By far most Directors at FAANGs are promoted from within after delivering a big win for the company; the next largest category is founders whose startup is acquired; following that are Directors jumping from a peer company; and finally there are former founders and executives that are retired or hanging out as an EIR at a VC firm waiting for their next gig.

And it certainly doesn't justify talking about it as if it were a moral failure to not treat DSP with respect.

Society benefits when the mercenary and competitive urges of high achievers are channeled rather than opposed. That's the secret behind the success of modern market economies, and the alternatives are clearly worse for everyone in a society, including the poor.

Even the Nordic so-called "socialist" countries are actually market economies, with private ownership of the means of production, and they channel the results of capitalism rather than opposing it. They channel it into a somewhat larger safety net than the USA has, but fundamentally they are doing the same thing, because they know that's the only approach that really brings prosperity to a society.

This not a zero-sum game either. Underutilized talent now has more opportunities to be recognized and contribute than ever before. One person's success does not prevent another person's success. We are not just dividing up a pie -- we are growing the pie too. Who is closing off other's opportunities by pursuing their own success?

I will say that back when Bugzilla was it, JIRA rocked. It was amazing the new power you had and the functionality it provided.

We self-hostd JIRA from 2008ish to 2014ish. (memory is fading on exact dates) By the time we decided to stop using JIRA, we fracking hated JIRA and would never return.

Since then, GitHub Issues, Trello, Clubhouse (neé Shortcut) all provide less friction in day to day use. As an Enterprise, I do believe Shortcut is your best bet.

> It's been around longer than Jakarta

Not really, Jakarta came from Java EE, which came from J2EE, which was released early 2000. Spring is from 2003 and started essentially as a framework for J2EE.

> and influenced it a lot.

It goes both ways.

Spring for instance started calling code "configuration" and wanted us to put it in huge amounts of XML. Java EE started with using annotations for bean definition and injection. Spring was initially against this idea, arguing configuration should be external and not embedded in the code. Citing that you would otherwise needed to recompile your code in order to change configuration.

Many years later Spring projects barely use those huge XML files anymore and its all autowire.

10 years is also (very roughly) the historical average doubling time for an investment in the s&p 500. one way to look at that is for every $1 you didn't save at age 25 while building experience at a "scrappy" startup, you need to save $2 at age 35 just to break even on retirement. that's probably not infeasible; you don't have to double your salary to double your savings. but it's a significant amount of drag you need to overcome for the "trade comp for career growth" advice to work out.

Sure, but if the Ukraine-conflict sanctions have the desired longer-term impact, that impact would serve as a deterrent if they're thinking about invading Finland a few years down the line.

> Fun aside, I think -h/--help is nowadays the most widespread and accepted version in Linux/Unix-Land

The most notable exception (to me) among modern tooling is the `aws` cli, which parses help as a subcommand. And if you try `--help` it just gives you an `Unkown option` response.

I'm mildly amused by the need to reserve a little bit of brain-space for the ways to ask cli tooling for help
