No it isn't.

Also, aren't you German (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31001842)? Would you agree that the lesson of Nazi Germany is Germans have no grounds to criticize any human rights abuses anywhere in the world ever again?

Why are you criticizing the US for human rights abuses? Aren't you a hypocrite?

Shouldn't we be talking about the Holocaust, right now? After all, what China's doing here pales in comparison to that atrocity. They're only imprisoning one million, while Germany murdered six million.
In the bad old days we bought our own servers and rented rack space in a datacenter they took care of all the hardware management, we looked after the software.

Completely wrong. When covid hit and the lock downs started, oil demand took a nose dive, and shortly afterward producers reduced output because of the lack of demand. The reduction in demand was more than the entire oil production of the united states: 15m barrels per day.

During the recovery, consumer demand increased at a faster rate than the production increase... leading to rising prices. It continues to be higher than world production. Right now, demand is back to pre-pandemic levels, but production is still a few million barrels (per day) short.

You can see that clearly in the first chart on this page:

I really like a lot of what the IndieWeb community has come up with. There is a big focus on building things yourself within that community which means a lot of the members of the community are very dev-heavy. https://micro.blog seems to be the public-facing, easy-to-use platform that adopts most of the IndieWeb technology but for a non-tech crowd--very different community that you might also enjoy perusing.
I don't have that much Perl experience, but I was positively impressed with Python CGI scripts. And with statically linked things like C/C++/Go. Haven't tried Rust in production yet.

Plus I still use one service in production which was written in C++ in 2009. It's statically linked and as such the binary survived 3 major OS upgrades unmodified. Around 2015 I put it behind Nginx just to be sure with all the OpenSSL issues being discovered. It was designed to be multi-threaded to fully take advantage of a dual-core Athlon with 2GB RAM. Oh wow is that one blazing fast on today's hardware.

Mind explaining what this means? Did they want content generation for posts? Or did they actually just want someone to post what they had on file? Or did they just want advertising help?

My family has small businesses and I've thought about helping others, but the asks seem too all over the place.
I think it’s an apt metaphor. If you lived in a big city in the 2010s, you’ve probably read years worth of headlines about low inflation, all while experiencing a rapidly inflating cost of living.

CPI is like climate news, not weather news, and should be understood as much.
From the FAQ:

>"Each of these have different scenarios where their use makes the most sense, for example TLS-ALPN-01 might make sense in cases where HTTPS is not used and the requestor does not have access to dynamically update DNS records."

I'm confused by TLS-ALPN-01. I understand the idea of using certs for domain verification but if there is no TLS in use how does the client verify this after the cert has been issued exactly?
Interestingly I was able to retrace the walk two decades later (we had emigrated to another country in the meantime) and while the "vibe" matched, the details were quite different from what I thought I remembered (this is an old town in south Germany where things don't change that quickly so it wasn't redevelopment).

But it was possible, with a bit of head scratching, to walk the route just from memory.
I just finished adding AV1 support to Pion WebRTC. What AV1 is able to do is pretty amazing! I spent a lot of my time with H264 because of legacy devices/hardware acceleration. Seeing the jump in quality + reduction in bandwidth usage it is going to be hard to go back.
All of the non-Web GUI development jobs I see are for either military applications or medical devices.

Thats fine, where is your Nürnberg Trials equivalent? Which of your politicians have been hanged or gone to jail?

The biggest thing for me is no surprise bills. Sure, it's pretty unlikely that a t2.small instance and its associated storage and network subscriptions are going to produce a $1000 bill one day, but there's literally no way to set a hard cap on billing so clearly Amazon thinks it might be possible.

Of course they support it. From their point of view, China is showing them how to deal with domestic separatist religious movements. All they need is for the Chinese to point to the Hui Muslims and they will be more than fine with it - they may even have endorse it.
Not only risk aversion - they were really early in digitizing their baseline services, so many of them have quite old mainframes by now. It's difficult, expensive, and, as you said, risky, to change old code that the whole organization is operating against.

In my experience this plays out on multiple timescales. When you get older you start to have entire decades of life boiled down to the factual knowledge you gained plus a handful of episodic memories.

It's a good reminder to write shit down and take lots of mundane pictures. You don't realize until it's too late though.
The commonality of the smartphone shifted the trajectory of consumer tech away from hardware to software. That's step 1 on the route to boring tech, because that software sits atop iOS and Android. You have to play by their rules, and that includes designing to their standards, not yours.

At the same time, hardware vendors stopped taking risks in developing their own consumer products. It was easier to slap Android on an MP3 player or a watch or a TV instead of developing your own UI and interaction patterns.
To expand on this a bit, when you mailed an attachment on AOL, it would upload and be hosted on their servers. So when you forwarded that email to someone, the download was just a pointer to the original location on their servers. Warez groups would recruit people for positions likw uploaders with strong connections who would just send tons of mail with attachments (to themselves I think). Then the progz/bots, called Mass Mailers (MMers) would sit in a private chat and wait for commands.

Sending the `/list` command in chat would result in one or more emails with lists of software, usually split up to reduce file size. If I were looking for PhotoShop, I might see something like:

[400] PhotoShop 4.0 (cracked by Foo) 1/4

[401] PhotoShop 4.0 (cracked by Foo) 2/4

[402] PhotoShop 4.0 (cracked by Foo) 3/4

[403] PhotoShop 4.0 (cracked by Foo) 4/4

I'd then send `/send 400-403` in the chat and in a few minutes I'd have four forwarded emails containing a portion of an archive. You'd do this for a bunch of stuff and then when going to bed, let AOL's download manager download everything overnight. AOL did more for the WaReZ scene than anyone else in the mid-to-late 90s.
The cost isn't gone. It's just included. Fact is, at scale, it's still cheaper to do it yourself. You just need to reach the scale it's worth paying people to do the managing.
I'm interested in trying this. There are a few things about it that appeal to me more than the other options. Plus, I like the idea of another browser option.

However, I find it weird that in order to get on the waitlist, I have to install the Duck mobile app. That seems like an unnecessary complication. And it also excludes people who don't have an iPhone. (I'm not sure if there's a Duck browser for Android.)

If it somehow incorporates Apple Pay, I will switch. That is the killer feature that keeps me on Safari.
It's perfectly reasonable. If only some people are allowed to commit crimes, you're not punishing crimes, you're just punishing an underclass. Justice must be blind, or it's just tribalism.

I don't really care about ProMotion on my phone, if I could steal any of the Pro features it'd be the zoom lens and lidar. Unfortunately two parts that take up a lot more room than ProMotion does.

I don't think there's a winning way to do that, in order to add the "Pro" features you have to make a battery tradeoff, and then instead of reviewers saying "Battery life isn't great, but at least it's cheaper" you'll get a whole bunch of "IPHONE PRO MINI COSTS SO MUCH AND BATTERY STILL SUCKS?!?"

Most jobs aren't sexy. This website focuses on Silicon Valley darlings and FAANGs and unicorn startups, but that's a minority of the available software jobs. There are a lot of good programming jobs available everywhere from banks to intellectual property protection to Domino's.

It can be frustrating working in companies that treat IT as a cost center, but there's still a lot of money to be made there. (And as a bonus, the interviews are ridiculously low-pressure compared to Google.)
Nonsense. 8.5% is literally slightly hotter than the expected 8.4%. From yesterday's Axios:

> Details: Analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the release to show 8.4% inflation over the last year. That would be the highest inflation rate since December 1981. The rate was 7.9% for the year that ended in February.

From this morning (6am) Morning Brew:

> Good morning. Today’s consumer price index reading is expected to show that March prices surged 8.4% over last year. You know who’s not contributing to inflation? The Brew. Today, we’re launching a revamped referral program with cheaper “prices” on swag items…that were already free to begin with.

So the NEWS of the release is that it was 8.5% instead of 8.4%. That's why they pointed it out. Everything else was already priced in by markets.
Even those are not in international waters, so I don't see how this makes any difference.
> The monitor was an MSI Optix MAG321CQR (32", 1440p, 144hz). The text on it was blurry and pixellated as hell.

I've used a ton of third party 27" 2560x1440 monitors with Macs and they've all been fine. In fact I'm using one to write this post.

It sounds like either the monitor was running at a resolution below 2560x1440 or you don't like how macOS does text antialiasing – macOS favors on-screen letterforms more closely matching their printed versions while Windows will distort characters to forcibly snap them into the pixel grid.

The other possibility is that you're just feeling the lowered DPI that results from stretching 2560x1440 to 32". macOS definitely has a preference for moderate-to-high DPI, and stretching 2560x1440 to that large of a physical size probably pulls the DPI below the threshold.

Maybe, but then they're confounding goals. My company isn't web scale, but we still kubernetes-all-the-things, we run two Kubernetes clusters, soon three. One on premise in a "rando datacenter" running both boring old processing pipelines and fancy schmancy machine learning pipelines. And a Kubernetes deployment on GKE in the cloud, that runs a boring old Ruby on Rails + Postgres platform with some satellite microservices, some written in Rust. We're in the boring old sector of real estate maintenance and inspection, but we do it by flying fancy schmancy drones around building 3D models using 100MP photo's and LiDAR scans.

DevOps, DevSecOps, Kubernetes, SRE's, they're all buzzwords because they're powerful ideas that will enable you to run a modern IT company effectively. Whether that company is web scale 100% YoY growth, or "simple" manufacturing automation. If you're going in comparing it to terraforming mars, then you're not opening your mind to what's possible on earth with a little bit of learning new stuff.
I recently took an old-school "voxel" algorithm and munged some NASA moon terrain data to try to create a game.

I really have enjoyed learning about the Moon's geography just from flying around the terrain, picking locations for "lunar bases" and such. Fascinating cracks and valleys, grooves, a straight mountain range — in general things I was not expecting on a planetoid without water/erosion.

It really is stark how different the far side of the Moon is from the near side. Insanely pock-marked with so many craters.... I assumed there was an Earth component to that in the same way the Earth has locked the Moon into an orbit/rotation that is always facing us.

I'm become very keen to learn more about the Moon now.
it may seem weird but your should get visit an endocrinologist and get your bloodwork done or at least visit your doctor. depression is not just a state of mind, and certainly not something you should just power through. one of things that depression takes is your enjoyment out of stuff you used to like.

> Gadgets are a snoozfest. Programming languages and frameworks seem to be running in circles.

3d printing, arduino, nodemcu, rust? I'd say we are at the golden age of gadgets. The stuff we can create today seems limitless.

I still cannot get over how much I like programming microcontrollers with rust. I took it as a hobby and ended up with some real products.

I have some lora modems in my desk that I'm constantly eyeing and I cannot wait for some free time to start playing with those.
I think that empathy is something we should all try to cultivate more of, and I try to do this myself (much to the derisive contempt of some people who do indeed think you should just assume the worst based on the smallest possible evidence).

However, while we definitely need more empathy, the world is also full of stupidity, and there's a point in everything where you need to be able to stop putting your energy into fighting the stupid. There's a point where you have to say "no, wait, these people are not actually arguing in good faith, i've explained to them over and over again why they are wrong, why the evidence of the last N years shows them to be wrong, and they have no answer to this, and just keep repeating the same falsehoods. I'm done".

Now, if you're not at that point with the people you engage with about this, great, keep aiming for empathy and understanding. But if you are, move on.

There's a company I collaborated with once who had an epiphany when they realized they had been putting way too much energy into trying to prevent people ripping off their software. They changed direction and focused on ignoring the people who did that, and instead tried to provide the best possible customer service and support they could to people who had paid them. Things got better for everyone. I think there's a general lesson here about where best to direct one's energies.
The weird (scary?) point will be when we figure out how to subtly present adversarial information to the brain that will be coded in a way that collides with some target information to induce false recognition/ memories.
So you're not interested in tech but in tech no one else has.
There’s this luthier I watch on the YouTubes who bought a whole old-growth mahogany bedroom set with the intention of turning it into guitars.

You can’t import any “new” old-growth wood so they have to repurpose existing wood if that’s what they want to use.

Same with The Tree, they are hunting down anything built out of it to make new guitars.
Also, the lawyer can skim-read the technical documentation, and even if they don't really understand it, they can reassure themselves that if there were any legal issues in it they would have noticed them. By contrast, few lawyers can read code, so they can't give themselves the same reassurance with respect to it.
Yeah, this is a dick move for sure. I had no idea the camera was locked down like this. Just plug in a better quality USB camera and you've bypassed the whole protection. Pointless.
> There's a checkbox in system prefs for that, you don't need any crazy logitech junk!

But that option also reverses the touchpad scroll direction. You can't have the touchpad scroll inverted like on a touch screen and the mouse wheel scrolling normally (without third-party software), which seems crazy to me.
Are you arguing for a command economy? Doing it with prices is the best possible way, because it empowers distributed decision-making.
Not the case; I work at a bank and we have widescale adoption of Kubernetes and cloud products (in fact most of the major banks do at this point)

If you happen to be looking for a DevOps or SRE role, check a large banks job boards, you'll be surprised how many open roles are available.
They wanted to have a well-cared for FB page for either 500$ upfront or monthly, I'd presume.
Disclaimer: I own a boring consultancy.

Boring, however, is contextual. We have flex hours. We have unlimited PTO (and frequent reminders to take personal time - I already know the data related to offering unlim PTO and how often people then take PTO, thank you very much). We make over $1 million in revenue a year with 6 people and no plans to have exponential growth, coupled with high margins so that we aren't rugpulled by a rainy day (and to take appropriate profits of course). My employees report high levels of job satisfaction and happiness.

Our focus? Maintaining boring legacy software for low-risk clients. We also do some greenfield work, but we like the stability that comes with working on older cash cow software.

The jobs are out there. We're just not super flashy about it.

EDIT: I appreciate everyone who commented :) if this wasn't a burner I'd totally reach out to some of you!
Don't dismiss this idea too quickly. My son left a floundering startup that was jumping from one trendy tech stack to another. For stuff that wasn't their core IP. And a simple MySQL database would have worked perfectly.
With their browser based on Safari and their search engine using Google’s index, DDG just feels like a rebranding exercise. It would be nice to get some real competition.

I recently started a hobby project because I was bored and built an Everything clone with Qt for Python as it doesn't run on linux and I was very surprised how straight forward and performant it is. Despite dealing with a lot of tabular data and Python it seems as fast as C++. Can't claim to understand the magic under the hood but it's very solid.
There's nothing inherently wrong with a having lists like that to serve as a starting point to see what exists for your own research, the bigger issue is that it claims to be curated when it's more like a wiki.

It feels as if their project was ill-defined and grew too quickly, and they're not really sure exactly what it's supposed to be yet.
