I imagine the point would be that pg writes many controversial things - with some of which the author explicitly disagrees - but this is one thing on which they do not disagree.

Let's suppose, for the sake of argument, that Newton once wrote, "The sky would be most accurately described as applesauce." (The absurdity is there to suggest that you would not agree. Take something more mild but still controversial and I don't see how it's different.)

> I don't agree with everything that Newton said but F=ma.
I kind of get what you mean, but the common practice is to spell it as Vlang, which other languages that are referred to by short names do too. Like Go, becomes Golang as oppose to Go-lang. But, we all have our preferences. Who knows, it might catch on to refer to it as V-Lang. It's your prerogative to do as you like, and it was great that you created the article and are into programming.
> If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If you define sound as a wave of air (or any other medium) particles then yes.

If you define sound as something a person had heard then no.
My response was under the assumption that when parents don't let their kids try something, it is almost always because the parent thinks it is too dangerous for them. By saying we should let them try stuff parents don't think they are ready for, it sounded to me like they were saying "ignore the danger" or that the danger is not as great as parents think. If they weren't saying that, then the comment seemed meaningless to me... basically the equivalent of saying, "make sure your kids eat the proper amount of food". It is a tautology, without any prescriptive advice.

I doubt many parents are just stopping their kids from trying things simply because they don't think they will succeed... it is always because non succeeding would have some negative consequence that is not worth the risk (e.g. the kid could get badly hurt, create a huge mess, destroy valuable property, etc).
True - I think we can agree, though, that the bank robbers are not entitled to the money for their efforts.
The whole point of the series is teaching the necessary skills for understanding, writing and maintaining something from scratch, like an engine if need be, but also something like SDL too.

Like it or not, this is interesting to a lot of people. Plus, someone has to maintain and contribute to those libraries like SDL. This is where you learn to.

Plus if you want to see libraries being used there are countless other Youtube channels doing it. This one is just daring to be a bit different.

About the elitism accusations, I frankly don’t see it, and I believe you are strongly projecting your own insecurities here. There is even a semi-official “port” that uses SDL2, done by an audience member.

Accusations of the community being “anti-library” are unfounded, especially considering Casey’s first notable work was in a company that would sell high performance libraries for games (RAD Tools).
They still don't support DP MST, so you have to use multiple TB ports or use a monitor that supports TB daisy-chaining.
I could definitely believe it was deep telemetry as the intended message recipient did have proximity to the unexpected 'match' earlier in the day. I am 99% sure they hadn't swapped contacts though, so it wouldn't be as easy as a matched contact connection.

Interesting idea about the mapping of numbers to letters, oh how I miss 800-call-sal advertisements.
I guess I don't understand the question. Plenty of open-source projects charge money for a license. And even closed-source / non-free games have pirates. The availability of the soucre code does not determine a business model, the licensing does.

There's a cost of acquiring and training staff – the nuance of performing any job takes time and effort to learn.

Hiring a few new employees and training them is easy for an employer to do, but being forced to suddenly rehire your entire workforce is daunting. Any business would suffer dramatically if forced into this situation.
So what is the plan for EVs there if the infrastructure can't handle it?
> If code is law

That's the point. It isn't, except in some fantasy world that does not exist.

Let me put it this way: if you don’t think you could tell a judge this without getting laughed at, while you’re wearing an orange jumpsuit and ankle bracelets and chains, it’s probably not real.
I completely disagree.

There have been complaints after complaints about people being locked out of accounts, and there are no easy ways to recover - often no way at all.

To say that the paid support you're paying for can't help you access the service you're paying for, that's a bit rich.

> Restoring your access to a locked account is simply less important than ensuring strangers can't "restore" access to your account.

That's a false dichotomy. If you can pay, say, $200, and get 30 minutes with a tech who has access to your email and can go through a manual, interactive process to verify you are who you say you are - for example, if you can prove you hold the credit card that's been used to pay for Google One for the past couple of years - well, these "strangers" are going to have to work REALLY hard to "restore" their access to your account. Probably well more than $200 and more than it costs to install a keylogger and sniff your password anyway.
What's the worst, are companies that behave as if they were above spam, e.g. Google (but far from being the sole offender) who send mail spam (e.g. every term of service update for a given product) without even providing a link to unsuscribe from these mails.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if none of those options would actually fix "locked out of your Google account".
Weird. Spend winters California , and one year I had a slow leak in my tire.

I could fill it every 4 days and be fine, so I did just that. I found one broken air compressor hose, which I mentioned to the station owner. He ordered a replacement immediately.

Our of maybe 50 uses, while travelling all over California, staying in a dozen different places, it seems to me that your reports are inaccurate.

(I prefer to fix my car at home, with mechanics I know.)

Is this about socialists, democrats, or the American left? I don't believe that restricting home construction is a tenant of socialism, the democrats nor the left. This entire article is just a rambling, semi-coherent attack against a "socialist" straw man it creates.

Additionally, the bad faith interpretation of what Noam Chomsky said regarding Cambodia is just lazy. This is not worthy of HN, especially not the front page.
Then there's the additions made by the Mainboard manufacturers like Asus.

For example, the manual of the Pro WS X570-ACE states that:

In any case, if you connect a keyboard, mouse or USB hub to them, they'll work.
Well yeah. Neither does a thief want to live in a world where they must return the goods and be held accountable. Traditionally we don't weigh their desires very heavily in those decisions.

I'm an absolute fiend for screen real estate, and I'm not excusing this. It's a reason I didn't jump onto the M1 bandwagon myself when the first models came out.

But I don't see it as nearly reaching the level of being a "fucking travesty", in an era of affordable giant 4K monitors.

At any rate, I'm certainly glad newer models fix this.
The block size used isn't specified, and that has a significant impact on performance. The exact model drives used aren't specified, but elsewhere in the comments someone references the Crucial X8.

"Lessor" is a person who leases a property. The author probably confused it with "lesser".

Unless there's a correlation between leasing and programming... hmmmm.
I suspect you may be focusing on work because it's the most urgent symptom, but this really sounds like depression. I apologize if I'm making unwarranted assumptions, but if I'm not this, perspective could be pretty useful.

I have ADHD which makes engaging in tasks you're unenthusiastic about excruciatingly difficult, and my position recently changed so my strengths are no longer utilized and my weak spots are where I need to produce most consistently. It all seems to be based on a dopamine deficiency, and 80% of people with ADHD have comorbid anxiety and depression, so I deal with depression a lot. But I'm one of those people who always seems calm, upbeat and together interpersonally even when I'm struggling with absolute basic tasks. That's convenient in some ways, but it's tough when you really need the help because you need to explicitly ask at a time where it's most difficult to do that.

And work is ALWAYS the place that suffers first/most. I love my long-time coworkers and they love having me there. I hate letting them down and I'm sure I can be incredibly frustrating to work with... which of course makes the whole thing worse. These things tend to operate in feedback loops.

The lists of signs or red flags you tend to see on the net aren't definitions for depression or lists of prerequisites— they're annoyingly nebulous, incomplete collections of hints. For example— you won't always see smoke pouring out of a window if a building is on fire, and smoke pouring out of a window doesn't automatically mean the building is on fire, what you see might not even be smoke, but it's a pretty strong hint. You won't always see fire trucks outside, and they might be there because someone is having a medical emergency, but it's a pretty good hint. Like that. Also, therapists are only human and can miss the forest for trees— you should plainly ask them for help evaluating yourself for depression.

It could be that you just need a solid break, but if you burn through two weeks of vacation and return to work with the same emotional block, you'll be adding some new toxic emotional patterns to your existing ones. Taking several more reputable online questionnaires for these sorts of things can actually prove quite useful. They led me to enlist a neuropsychologist to evaluate me for ADHD and that's really helped me out.
Hi Georgyo! :)

I was jumping on here to say the same thing - we shared these guidelines with new folks regularly, and they helped us avoid some mistakes along the way. We've iterated on them of course, but it was wonderful to have a sane starting place
That price is too high, my friend.
There's a thread with Felker on the postfix-users mailing list whingeing that water is wet and Wietse or Viktor threatening to do conditional compilation if MUSL is present from April 2020, that sounds sort of like this:

Wietse:
> Congratulations! You just gave a new definition of security theatre:
> using an unauthenticated channel to distribute trust anchors.

Felker:
It's not security theater because nobody's claiming it's secure.
Rather it's a fairly weak form of hardening that increases the
required capabilities an attacker needs to exploit a known-insecure
system.

It's brain rot caused by too much systemd!
Yes, there is some potential there... though I am pretty sure the other parties had not swapped contact info yet as they were new and only just met.

> If you could reinvent the state so that it is predictable, testable, and not subject to human corruption then I’d say it’s a good thing!

I think you misunderstand my points. All the things you stated are simply not things we can achieve as absolutes in society or the physical world. The current rules of blockchains and smart contracts deal in absolutes, and when they can't they defer to oracles (which interface with the real world, so they have all the problems you stated). The real world is full of nuances, judgment calls and edge-cases which is why we have people who can adjudicate them. The points I listed in the parent comment are just a small fraction of the real world problems that would creep up in the first day of implementing this sort of system.

From here on this is more opinion/political:

If the discussion was about making laws more aligned with those points then the last place to start would be with crypto-tokens that have no real world impact (besides using a bunch of compute/resources). The place to start IMO would be to start removing exceptions from laws/taxes that don't make sense anymore, get the legal code down to a manageable size, introduce better accountability to our democracy and so many other steps. Starting with the tokens is destructive because it focuses energy at the wrong end of the problem and has clearly just led to most destructive parts of society (thieves, criminals, grifters, scammers, MLMs, etc.) to profit. It also makes people who see the obvious problems with it (I count myself among them) unwilling to participate so there is less force behind it even if it (against all odds) was a good idea.

I think it's also clear that a proper system to solve these issues would not be based on the current technical platforms being built since those are incapable on a fundamental level to answer questions like the ones I asked.
Here's a dictionary[1] from 1708 defining "To REGULATE" as:

> to govern, direct, or guide; to frame or square; to determine or decide.

There are also entries for "REGULATION" (the Act of regulating) and "REGULATOR" (a Person that regulates or directs).

Here's another dictionary[2] from 1768 defining "To REGULATE" as:

> To adjust by rule or method. To direct.

A plain reading of the US Constitution[3] paying close attention to the use of "regulate" plainly contradicts this interpretation of the word.

What fraud? This was a proper and orderly transaction... fraud requires deception. If there's any fraud here, it's on the part of anyone who claimed this wouldn't inevitably happen according to the rules they concocted.
Hard disagree here. There's a lot of differences between science and theology. There is nothing divine or holy about potential past civilizations.

absurd thing to say with such confidence
I have a fixed rate mortgage and an all electric house, including an electric vehicle. That electricity is ~95% from hydropower.

The only real inflation I've seen is in food (which is a trivial part of my budget), electronics, and "house services" like electricians or plumbers, which I 99% DIY anyway.
At the very least alien telescopes can detect the change in composition of our atmosphere as a result of industrialization. We could do this using today's technology, so for any civilization with the ability to actually travel between solar systems it is childs play and they would easily have continuous monitoring of all nearby solar systems looking for abrupt changes in the atmosphere.
This is bizarre and example of how I don't understand the crypto world at all. Shouldn't a stable coin that is manifestly no longer stable be worthless? Is it known whether the hacker managed to translate their coins into something else before the price crashed, or did they also lose most of what they captured?
I have flown in two of these planes. Absolutely fascinating and it's sad they are no longer being produced.
There are also various businesses that sell mailboxes (with a regular address, unlike P.O. boxes that are more limited) and these are business addresses. I hadn't thought of that advantage before. I also have a residential addresss where I live but having moved a number times without forwarding and not using it for anything but a few heavier packages I only get the large weekly circular and maybe one other ad from a local business per week.

Interesting idea to do two passes and build a merge list ahead of time. I am not sure if there's enough memory to build up such a list but it's worth a try.

Edit: I tried, and OOM'd by the OS. Apparently 64GB of RAM isn't enough to key off the unique column.

Why is a correct response better than an incorrect one? Everything's subjective, but I'm pretty comfortable with faster is better, all else being equal.
Because complex social structures tend to be innovations and inventions similar to those in the physical realm. It thus stands to reason that a 'social evolution' has taken place over the millennia, and there's ample evidence of that progress in the world around you. No one says prehistoric humans were individually simpletons, just that societally they were far simpler (as in strictly less advanced).
I think this is one of those things where its a question of what you're optimizing for. I don't like boxing solutions into `10x` or `1x` or whatever. I think this misses the entire point. It also assumes that single software engineers can make or break a project or company, and this is rarely the real case, even if it feels like it is.

I think an often missed piece in the formula is systematic incentives. At a company, this really means culture and process. If you have a culture and process of incentivizing novel solutions and so called `10x` behaviors, you'll have lots of `10x` developers, systems tend to produce the outputs that you foster. If you have proper incentives for high throughput, you will get it. No one engineer is "born" better than the other, like stated in the article, but a culture that fosters making good choices as a whole will see results align. This is how you can 10x your teams, regardless of individuals.

I think another way to look at is this: you're likely not the Yankees, you're the Oakland A's. Don't optimize for knockouts, optimize for runs[0].

But you'd rather quit over ruin your work history, in current position and next ones.
Why would it come at the expense of long-term profits? The EU has given a legal mandate to USB-IF, you literally are not legally allowed to use anyone else's connection standards. What "profit loss" could possibly occur under a literal government-mandated monopoly requirement?

Display standards aren't quite there yet but HDMI is effectively a monopoly in the living-room space and most people use them for mass-market (low-end) monitors that are the most common. Effectively it might as well be a mandate, especially when DisplayPort comes with much shorter cable lengths/etc that require equipment reconfiguration.
I notice this whenever I've been job hunting. All of the sudden I need to pick up for every "Unknown Caller" in the hopes that it's to set up an interview!
That's why you need to have it in gas stations because for in the short term future I can't see downtown having an abundance of chargers.

I'd much rather come into a situation where they were both already aware of, and entirely honest about the current shit-show status of the project -- than a situation where everyone thinks what they're doing is great and bleeding edge but when you actually take a good look at their assets, as it were... not only are they manifestly and visibly unwashed -- but no one seems to notice the stink.
>Again, what solutions?

The solution is to git gud.

There certainly was actionable advice in the couple of his videos I've seen (I haven't watched many, he's a wandering talker). But the underlying theme is about development process and frame of mind. Just adopting a list of techniques would miss the "greater than the sum of it's parts" value.
We have a small team (8 devs) and we've focused a ton of energy on developer experience and ergonomics to reduce the cost of contribution and code reviews, and facilitate interaction with other stakeholders.

I'm confident at this point that we've doubled productivity, which would make our "Head of" a 10x engineer :)
I believe those points can also be applicable for speaking also, especially in interviews where you are expected to give canned responses in a STAR format.
The amount of code necessary would be pretty significant, even the software used by CPAs is somewhat complex and changes every year. But yes, software could do all of this - especially if the tax code were not intentionally convoluted in order to satisfy greedy lobbyists

It doesn't so much matter if you like the current state of affairs; it is what it is. If paid Google support could easily reset accounts (or, really, reset accounts at all), the accounts of paid support subscribers would regularly get taken over. Try to design an account recovery program for a service with, say, more than 10,000 clients to see why.

Think through what you'd hope Google would be able to do here. How do they authorize the request to unlock the account? Now imagine a well-funded adversary that knows exactly how Google's processes work (probably because they continuously pay for accounts and have them reset, to track what Google's doing). What's the reliable signal Google can use here, one the majority of their users actually have access to, that they can quickly execute on?

There are companies that have relatively quick Account Recovery processes through customer support. But those companies either aren't worth defrauding, or are regularly but quietly defrauded.
Given that they would have had to begin their journey a long time ago, better to at least know they exist before they get here.
I'd be judicious about who you tell. Some will view it as an opportunity to take on new things, others will view it with dismay and start slacking.
