I really appreciate how Factorio developers communicate with their users for both telling the problems they encounter, how they solved, why done some things and not done others, and listen to them to improve the game. If Satisfactory developers are doing the same, props to them.

I'm happy how small development teams like those do such a great job and how the users mostly do the the same to them.
The state is free if you make under a certain amount which was the case for me. I ended up just paying the $15 rather than re-entering anything.
Have you considered that, especially immediately after the election, one side of the political spectrum was propagating much more misinformation than the other?
> Many places in the US have state and local income taxes, so for some people, the IRS is only one of two or three agencies that they fill out tax forms for.

(1) In many of those cases, state/local filing requires very small additional paperwork plus same-year federal forms.

(2) In many of those cases, the same thing the IRS could do for federal forms could be done by state/local tax authorities for their own forms.

So, solving the federal case both solves most of the problem and provides a template for solving most of the rest of the problem.
Not broadly true in my opinion. To give an example from the financial services industry:

* Satellite provider or analytics firm sells "car counts" for retail stores

* Financial institution is intrigued; this must correlate with sales, right?

* But..why don't we just buy credit card transaction data and foot traffic data from clearing houses and GPS trace providers?

I often liken satellite imagery to salt. It's great to finish a dish, but should never be consumed alone. If you don't believe the foot traffic data or credit card transaction data you're buying, you can use satellite data to check it or refine the model. But that's a niche within a niche.

The other issue I pointed out in that article is customer savvy--if you're a quant fund sophisticated enough to make use of an arcane data feed, you're very likely sophisticated enough to generate that feed yourself from raw data. And if you do it yourself, it's suddenly part of a "proprietary" solution. So you'd rather just buy images and do the heavy lifting that pay a premium to buy a data feed that doesn't quite solve your problem by itself.
still same question, do you have an example? and an example of the first would still be good

This is based on something I read quite a few years ago, but IIRC, as a hands-on partner in Motorola (in its early days, he was its sole circuit designer) he led it into being an early adopter of transistors and other semiconductor devices. (If this is the basis for the quoted passage in the article then it is arguably misleading, but using transistors to make compact electronic devices required innovations in circuit design, and, in general, turning new technology into useful products requires vision and innovation.)
Meghan Murphy was banned from Twitter for deliberately misgendering trans people.

They do charge for state taxes. It’s like 15 bucks per return with not that much up sell. I’ve used them when I had simpler taxes and liked them over other common preparers
> Agile is assuredly garbage but having every development company use the exact same process and terminology is too valuable to give up.

But...Agile doesn't involve that. Even when the same words are used, they don't have the same meaning, often, and the substantive processes even within vaguely Scrum-ish methodologies vary widely.

LED headlight arrays are far more effective at eliminating spill over than HID or halogen lights. My parents have a 2019 Acura RDX and the lighting on it is very precise and much lower than the previous cars they or I have owned. Being able to see farther at night significantly reduces the amount of accidents.

If oncoming headlights bother you then the move to LED should be embraced. Nothing like getting swatted with a HID projector lamp.

LED arrays are also a lot more compact, so features like self leveling will hopefully be more likely to spread to more models instead of being purely a luxury feature, further reducing the amount of overspill in oncoming headlights.
I'm not sure I've ever seen "literal mindedness" argued like this in recent works? Do you have any papers or books you could point to where an archeologist or historian argues this?

Most of the recent academic work I'm familiar with tends to emphasize the opposite case, tempered by the fact that ancient religion and culture tend to be very alien. Take, for instance, popular reviews by Irving Finkel in his "Noah" book, or Ed Barnhart's work on the Moche, etc.

Yeah. It's the main pain point of Julia. For me, it's not really a problem since for interactive use, I mainly use a repl which stays open for hours, and for production use cases, you can make a system image (which essentially caches all the compilation ahead of time).

Also, this is a major focus of current Julia development.

This is actually a good point.

We should be fighting against the standardization of the industry because it allows more competition for wages.

On the other hand, damn near every company seems to only want to hire 'senior' developers who can deliver working software in spite of process, which I assume is somehow related to all the nonobvious process skills being commoditized.

But significant interview prep hurts the primary job of the interviewer, which is to evaluate whether candidates would work well within the team/org - I don't mind if candidates do preparation or not, but the point isn't to try to find people who game the process, the point is to find out if a candidate is likely to be successful in the role. The problem is oftentimes it turns out that a lot of candidates who focus too heavily on preparation fail to demonstrate the qualities needed to be successful.

I don't give a particularly hard interview, candidates and interviewers who pair with me are all pretty happy with the session & almost always leave relaxed, which is usually targeted towards a certain set of leadership traits (and occasionally I'll do coding screens as well although I've been put on those less in general). My interview feedback also has generally been corroborated by other interviewers in debriefs as well, so it's not like it's in crazy land.

Not quite. Apple requires app developers to opt into Mac distribution. The non-zero cost of doing so on top of testing costs for a new platform (testers may have iPads but not Macs) in addition to fear of the new ability to access the sandbox directly (the horror if players were allowed to edit-in 100,000 gems instead of buying them with IAP) killed a large amount of potential Mac support.
Ask HN: Why doesn't Wikipedia redirect from mobile links to desktop?
If you're on a non-mobile device, this link:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon

will open in mobile format. But getting the user agent is trivial, and so wiki should be able to easily redirect to this on a non-mobile device:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon

But they don't, and since they're one of the most-visited sites in the world, I assume there's some really good reason why they don't bother. Anybody know why that might be? Is there some sort of esoteric security thing that sites have to worry about? Do they just not want to have to do the work of serving one page and then immediately switching to the other? Or is it something else entirely?

One bright spot in all this pay-to-file-taxes game is the "Cash App Taxes" [0]. It is just great and seamless to file taxes for free even for a bit complex taxes such as RSU, Stocks, Virtual currency sales etc. Usually what I do is just progress on TurboTax until the end so I could calculate my estimated refund and then go ahead and file using Cash App Taxes and it just saved me $150 this year.

I sell satellite imagery. I want more people to start application companies, and less people to start data feed companies. "Preaching" is the most scalable way to try to convince people to change tack.

Ask HN: Switching from Java Back end dev to systems programming dev?
Hello all,

Curious how hard it is to move from a generic web backend engineering job to a systems programming job.

I am currently a junior with 1.5 YOE. I took a few cs classes in C++ and have messed around on GitHub with C and Rust.

I enjoyed the extra challenge of memory management and thinking more of performance / memory safety. While I want to try and program an emulator or some sort of systems project (recommendations welcome / textbooks to read welcome) before I definitely decide to move into that area, I was curious how hard it is.

I’m sure companies aren’t thrilled to hire juniors with no systems or embedded experience. Would it be better to move to a company with low-level programming teams as a Java dev and then transfer to those teams? (Current employer does basically no low level work anywhere on any team)

Same. The language they use for that feature (on both apps) is extremely misleading, if not just straight up false. They clearly want you to believe that you are guaranteed a ride when you schedule ahead.
This is so true. I've been on teams that did 100x work with like 3 engineers. I've also been on teams that do near 0x work with over 10.

What I can confidently state is that you must work the people and then the process to improve anything.

We need to stop adopting things just because other teams use them or because they are an "industry norm".

If we just truly kept true to the original agile manifesto, there would be amazing results everywhere.

Sadly most EMs have the training of a scrum master and never want to work to actually improve their process/discipline. The solution of getting rid of everything is a sound one because at least you can focus on the core agile ideas that make shipping software successful.

> sophistication is driven by specialization

Sophisticated technology is driven that way for sure, Sophisticated culture, I would argue, does not have those preconditions.
I have never seen a ton of value in the exact number of story points, but they are a good way to have the "30 minute debate" that the author decries. If a task is so unclearly written that the team can't get a rough idea of the complexity in a reasonable amount of time, then it's a signal that the story can't be done or that something needs to change; more knowledge sharing, clearer success criteria for the story/task, etc. I get that the meeting is annoying, but not doing the discussion is just going to hide other problems. The longer you hide problems, the more severe they come. Having no idea what the "done" condition is in any of your tickets is tech debt just like long dev cycle times or code that breaks production every time someone touches it; at the project level instead of the code level.

If the only problem is deciding between a 1 or a 2 though, I'd just remove "1" from the list of options.
It's pretty fascinating to comprehend how different Europe's land mass is from a couple thousand years ago. Imagining the current world with shore lines as different as that is pretty hard to Fathom.

It puts the climate change narrative in perspective a bit. In someways, the change we are experiencing isn't as unprecedented as some people perceive. In other ways, if we are going to be on a highly accelerated version of something like the event in the story than we are going to be in for a hell of a ride.
> Whatever Agile was

Has it changed? The Manifesto[1] is still there, unmodified, to provide thoughts on what you need to consider if you are going to run a software project without managers.

> Fuck user stories, fuck sprints, fuck Jira, and fuck product management

That does not sound like Aglie, especially given that you specifically call out managers, which are incongruent with Agile. The top-down organization where process flows down from management at the top to the developers at the bottom that you speak of is what is colloquially known as 'Waterfall'. This 'Waterfall' organization structure is what many believe the Manifesto was written to counteract, so it is interesting that you’re now calling it Agile.

Emulators run great on it. You can run vscode server in the VM and use it via chrome. You can get desktop grade experience with chrome including developers tool.

It has potential to replace my main device with android 13 making it easier to use KVM without hacks.

This year was a nightmare for me. The UI wouldn't save state, going through the same steps would lead me to different results ("Your state was e-filed!","Your state isn't accepting e-file."), and there was an alleged error but it would never tell or show me what the error was. Customer service was just as confused as I was and the "Get virtual assistance" button eventually disappeared for me. I ended up giving up and going to a local CPA to get it done for me. I don't think I'll be using HR Block next year after being a customer for over 5 years.
I’ve been feeling a similar sentiment. This sprint some higher up agile coach or whatever their title is has been observing our team and making sure we follow the agile law to a T at the cost of real work efficiency.
It's only obsolete when it hampers your productivity.

If what bothers you with your current computer is something that would be provably solved with a newer one (battery life, heavy CPU/GPU tasks...), then it's time for a replacement. I've also quickly replaced computers I hated keyboards or screens on.

Some things related to modern environment can not be helped though (no matter how fast your computer, docker-based dev envs will be slow to start up, where slow is contrasted with instantaneous).

When running a company and looking to replace computing equipment, a number of other variables come into play (due to amortising costs and such).
