There's no good answer here to a question with so little context. What you should be doing, in a company we don't know anything about, could vary wildly.

I've been writing software professional for over 20 years, in all kinds of different industries. I've had to handle thousands of lines of specs, with entire teams of manual testers trying to check them. Worked at places where all requirements were executable, leading to automated test suites that were easily 10 times bigger than production code. Other places just hope that the existing code was added for a reason, and at best keep old working tickets. And in other places, we've had no tracking whatsoever, and no tests. I can't say that anyone was wrong.

Ultimately all practices are there to make sure that you produce code that fits the purpose. If your code is an API with hundreds of thousands of implementers, which run billions of dollars a month through it, and you have thousands of developers messing with said API, the controls that you'll need to make sure the code fits purpose is going to be completely different than what you are going to need if, say, you are working on an indie video game with 5 people.

Having to long terms requirements tracking can be very valuable too! A big part of documentation, executable or not, is that it has to be kept up to date, and be valuable: It's a pretty bad feeling to have to deal with tens of thousands of lines of code to support a feature nobody is actually using. Reading documentation that is so out of date that you will end up with the completely wrong idea, and lose more time than if you had spent the same time reading a newspaper. Every control, every process, has its costs along with its advantages, and the right tradeoff for you could have absolutely nothing to do with the right tradeoff somewhere else. I've seen plenty of problems over the years precisely because someone with responsibility changes organizations to a place that is very different, and attempts to follow the procedures that made a lot of sense in the other organization, but are just not well fit for their new destination.

So really, if your new small team is using completely different practices than your previous place, which was Enterprise enough to use any IBM Rational product, I would spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out why your team is doing what they do, make sure that other people agree that the problems that you think you are having are the same other people in the team are seeing, and only then start trying to solve them. Because really, even in a small team, the procedures that might make sense for someone offering a public API, vs someone making a mobile application that is trying to gain traction in a market would be completely different.
Who cares if the evidence is / was weak? They were censored for misinformation not because the evidence is weak. By that logic your post should be censored since your evidence that it was censored for being weak is in fact weak evidence.

We are not talking about the head of the FBI. If the head of the CDC said something like this you may be have a better comparison. Even if the CDC said something like this it wouldn't impact health so it probably shouldn't even count as harmful content.
The often brilliant SMBC recently, on liberal education:
https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/liberal-education

I post this because I'm so very tired of this particular conversation about higher education, and I really wonder if we could maybe get back to the original thing we were trying to do with colleges, wherein we promoted our general humanity and allowed people to be better, richer (in the "broth of humanity", as opposed to the dollars) versions of themselves in a better, richer society, and sort of step back from this notion of "that book of poetry you just read isn't going to translate to additional income later, so why'd you do it" that seems to be the only way we engage with any of this lately.

I know, I'm shouting into the void, and there's a bunch of real world stuff and broken things here, but my god, I'm just so, so tired of a conversation that just really feels like people complaining that the canvas on which that work of art was painted costs much, much more than just painting the wall white and doesn't seem to offer any actual practical benefit.
> ARM introduced Thumb-2, with a mix of 2-byte and 4-byte instructions, in 2003. PowerPC and RISC-V also [...]

x86 is still the weirdo. Both Thumb-2 and the RISC-V C extension (I don't know about PowerPC) have only 2-byte and 4-byte instructions, aligned to 2 bytes; x86 instructions can vary from 1 to 15 bytes, with no alignment requirement.
I worked at a startup that pivoted away from this product so have the same question. We found that people wouldn’t pay for our product that showed financial projections based on current data.

I would be really interested to hear how this product is different - maybe there’s a different monetization strategy or a different marketing strategy?
The way I explain this super simply to people is absolute value.

To most people, it just means that when you take the absolute value of a negative number it becomes positive, and the absolute value of a positive number stays positive.

Now there is more to it, but how you might think of absolute value instead is as a distance function, particularly how far away from zero you are on a number line.

This is way over simplified, but an example of how there can be a little more buried beneath the surface.
The huge number of people who end up working in roles totally unrelated to their degree should be evidence enough something is wrong.
> Are there any email apps that can be trusted with our data, even if they're not free?

I explicitly said I'm not looking for just _free_ options.
We use JIRA along with zypher test plugin which allows you to associate one or more test cases (aka list of steps) with your JIRA ticket. And tracks progress for each test case. Devs create the tickets and our QA creates the test cases. Docs and requirements come from all different departments and in all kinds of different formats so we just include those as links or attachments in the JIRA tickets.
> correct word now is probably capitalised "Black", that was offensive just a few decades ago.

Genuinely asking: is that correct? I had thought the "correct" way was something between Afro-American and Person of Colour/PoC, apparently I was living in the past. I'm asking because I'm not from the States.
> wow is this some kinda hostile all-blame culture or something where everyone is out for themselves?

But what if that's an accurate understanding of the company culture? There are surely people who thrive in these sorts of environments, even if you (and I) are not among them. Are you suggesting that these people are mostly men?
Why are Google and Microsoft enabling a small number of people with the power to dictate our language?

What is WebTransport and can it replace WebSockets?
My understanding is that the human body is so complicated and so individual that very few things can be systemized like that unfortunately. Maybe if there are biomarkers to indicate specific people should have specific ratios??? I don't know.
If you construct a chicken coop would you keep it open to predation?
100% agree. I've also run across many cases where no-one bothered to even attempt any benchmarks or load tests on anything (either old or new solutions), compared latency, optimize anything, etc.

Sometimes making 10+ million dollar decisions off that gut feel with literally zero data on what is actually going on.

It rarely works out well, but hey, have to leave that opening for competition somehow I guess?

And I'm not talking about 'why didn't they spend 6 months optimizing that one call which would save them $50 type stuff'. I mean literally zero idea what is going on, what actual performance issues are, etc.
Different model, but I just (about 2 days ago) setup my Pi 4B using this, and was done in about an hour:

Sure, but HN doesn't. I'm trying to understand why I see so many comments using underscores when only asterisks work.
Zulu is just a build of the OpenJDK. You can also download Adoptium (another build of the OpenJDK) for macOS ARM.
> You also have not enabled many of the modes that you install which will be a not fun experience for the newbies you are targeting.
That is unintentional, I will review the packages I have missed.

> Use-package could actually help a lot in your backend generation code I think (ie because consistent data model).
Theoretically yes, but that would require some restructuring in the backend. It is a goal though, at least as an option next to no configuration macro and Setup.

> evil-collection would be a good add as well as quite a few evil quality of life items.
Will look into this, I don't use Evil so it is hard for me to judge.
You aren't being kind, you're being a bully with a thin veneer of social piety. Your standard of behavior leads directly to tyranny of the most demanding and intolerant minority and you aren't even brave enough to own it as your own.

The CC licenses should probably be adjusted to make a DMCA attempt a permanent revocation of license. That way DMCAs can flow in the opposite direction and people can learn things.

I don't believe Dall-E 2 incorporates GANs at all, but I haven't read the paper in detail. GANs were the best text-to-image models maybe a year ago but lately diffusion techniques are taking over.
As others have said, Doom seems faster than Spacemacs, especially at startup. Doom has lighter weight config, but it's also less opinionated. I've been using Doom for a while now, and the only thing I missed was Spacemacs' keybindings. Those can be recreated in Doom though[0].

The argument that "most kids don't need to go to college" is the same argument that British intellectuals were making at the end of the 19th and early 20th century, except replace "college" with "high school." The main reason that the United States became the dominant superpower of the early-mid 20th century and eclipsed its European peers was that many more kids in the United States had been going to high school for a long time. So "most kids don't need to go to college" seems historically shortsighted.

That being said, I do question whether the not-inconsiderable amount of money we're spending on tertiary education is actually well-spent. For one, it's incredibly unequal - rich public and private universities (which disproportionately cater to the children of the wealthy) soak up far more than their fair share of funding. Universities also spend huge amounts of money on non-academic items - fancy buildings, gyms, sports teams, huge administrative staffs, etc. This spending is partially facilitated by the insanity that is student debt.

I don't think educating fewer people is a good long-term strategy, but I think if we want to educate more people we need to take a long hard look at how tertiary education works in the US.

Edit: for those looking for a citation for attributing the U.S. dominance in the 20th century to education, see Piketty, Capital and Ideology, 517-522. Note that by the dawn of the 20th century German GDP per capita per-job was 60-70% of that of the US; that figure was 80-90% in the UK. I'm not saying two world wars didn't contribute, but the US was already ahead before they began.
Do you have a backend? If so it might be easy to just use that. Big frameworks like Django provide an auto generated admin UI for your DB tables so that would satisfy your requirement of having a UI to edit things without making raw queries to the DB.

I explicitly cited G7 cities to highlight that the quality of life in these cities far exceeds LA’s sprawl. This isn’t a discussion about trade offs. It’s one about parking lots and three-story condos crowding out planning.

I made one point that women (apparently) apply less to something with X language even if the language describes them. Then I made a completely separate, personal experience anecdote of how I feel when I'm exposed to that language because of what it tells me about the culture. I didn't link my personal experience to that of a gendered experience representative of anything broadly, you did.
Yes, but less product is less profit, and they do want to sell you ads, AMP or not!

So yes, it is a loss for Google.
Yeah, the East Cut is definitely not an example of real estate taking their cues from Google, but Google taking their cues from the real-estate sector. San Francisco's realtor-defined neighborhoods have always been a little off from the colloquially described one.
> Proper english grammar

That there is such a thing as “proper english grammar” is itself inherently contentious and political. DFW's review of Authority and American Usage unpacks this a bit, if I recall. It's hard to find online because it's still under copyright, but I found this: https://web.ics.purdue.edu/~drkelly/DFWAuthorityAndAmericanU...
Yes. Speaking for the US, if your personal goals include having things like PTO and health insurance you're going to want the degree. Most white collar jobs are off limits without a degree in something, even if entirely unrelated to the job itself.

Not that there aren't other paths, or non-degree-gatekept jobs with those things. But they are harder and fewer and becoming increasingly so.

Programming is one of the few prestigious, highly paid jobs left that doesn't have a pretty hard req on having a degree to get into. That's why I do it. But yes I've also run into all the things you mention.
I cannot comment on the differences, all I can say that I chose Eglot because it is more in line with my understanding of an ideomatic Emacs package, and it is available via GNU ELPA.
I built a version that takes your PDF, prints it, chutes it into a scanner, and uploads it to S3. The realism is unmatched.
I think you get your opinions of rural Americans from fiction, because I've lived among rural people most of my life and met only one or two people who think that way, about the same frequency as people in cities. Art imitates life when that doesn't get in the way of emotional drama.

Neat, a few of these accepted proposals were the topic of my Master's thesis a couple years ago: https://github.com/jacobmischka/uwm-masters-thesis

Exciting to see a major release, though admittedly it seems a little arbitrary if there aren't any breaking changes (and very problematic if there are?).
This is really interesting but they’re using a network of bots already - even if you put a spinner that makes them wait a couple seconds the scrapers would just make more parallel requests no?
Personally I think it'll be great.

It'll cause people to replace perfectly reasonable text with accidentally offensive text, just to make the squiggly line go away.
It feels insane to me that this is still even being asked today. It was no less salient a question over a decade ago, when I was reevaluating the worth I got from my newly received degree.
I'm wondering why there is a statement from LinkedIn, but nothing from Hiq Labs? I don't mind giving companies an opportunity to defend themselves when an article is written about them, but I'd expect the author of the article to get counter statements from other parties.
>3. I still get imposter syndrome because I can barely solve leetcode questions in interviews and feel like I'm missing something. Would a degree resolve that issue? No idea. But fact or fiction there is a part of me that believes it would've at least give me a bit more confidence in my abilities.

It likely wouldn't. What would help you with solving leetcode questions is just grinding leetcode questions. Taking an algorithm class years ago wouldn't help beyond your first attempt at the problems.

That said for all the other reasons you listed, getting a college degree is usually a good idea.
If they were hiding videos from black activists would you feel the same way?
Disclosure: i graduated from a trade school, and promptly got a handful of certifications for heavy diesel mechanical maintenance.

The trades have always been there, but i suspect the reason boomers steered their kids to college was twofold. One, they watched tradecraft in the fifties slowly kill their parents before OSHA was really a thing, and second, boomers lost touch with just how predatory colleges became as they went from general educational institutions to undergrad paper-mills grinding graduate students into dust and milking student athelete slave labor for fame and cash.

If youre thinking of the trades, we need you. We need electricians, HVAC, and mechanics. We need welders, nurses, ironworkers, and plumbers. we need linemen, boilermakers, and radiologists. most importantly WE NEED YOU. check around your local city for community colleges and trade techs, and try to stick with the public ones where youll spend a couple of years alongside old-timers and professionals. Read up on the unions in your region and join up where youll be PAID to work alongside skilled journeymen instead of service a lifetime of debt for the privilege of learning basket weaving.

Tradecraft isnt golden gate bridge levels of dangerous anymore. for example my shops had an 11 year run with no lost time accidents. Theres hard, rewarding work waiting for you that respects your intelligence and gives ample changes for advancement, and it pays a living wage.

I switched away from apple laptops because of the butterfly keyboard and removal of the F-keys in favor of the touch bar.

Realistically speaking, you’d still need to enforce breaches of whatever license you choose but most open-source projects don’t have the resources to pursue those cases.

Maybe there’s a case for a consortium of open-source projects that can pool its resources and serve as an insurance policy to fight back against license violations or malicious/stupid DMCA takedowns.
I don't see how underlining words like "brown bag", "landlord" and "master" are for the better in any sense.

This is virtue signaling - a no cost action meant to make you feel like you are helping people without actually helping people.
Meet one of the most powerful DRY gems, dry-schema!

dry-schema is an extremely powerful and validation engine for Ruby applications and as it's a *built-in validation solution for Hanami projects*, it'is important to get familiar with it.

In this Youtube screencast I describe the main features and mention the importance of this gem in Hanami applications. Check it out!
Yeah, I agree with you in points #1 and #2 but point #3 in my opinion is only a matter of practice.
not that I completely agree with it, but many proponents of college would say its more about learning how to think not what you learn.
There is indeed something deep going on here.

When our communication tools nudge us in a direction, they change who we are.

This is a profound change when scaled to the society as a whole and when the way we communicate is dominated by the tools we use. Our tools are an extension of ourselves.

It's for this reason that it's a very scary direction we are going with all tools - smart phones, home automation, email software, brain-computer interface, etc - that are extensions of ourselves but agents of companies acting not on behalf of the end user but on the behalf of their own interests.

Tools that are an extension of ourselves need to be the agent only of ourselves. We, as individuals, require that to keep our own personhood.

It sound dramatic to say, but our essence of being is what's at stake here.
Related: in the official specification of the game the pieces ("tetrominoes") are drawn from a bag to prevent the possibility of an unfavorable sequence of pieces that force you to lose the game.

IIRC early implementations of the game did not always behave like that.

> You might have heard of the result that you can play forever with bag randomizer, Hold and 3 previews (a similar setup even works with 0 previews). However, the opposite is true, if you play with a randomizer that can generate all piece sequences (e.g. memoryless randomizer).

JavaScript being garbage-collected, having a rather complex runtime, not having proper integers etc... makes it a rather unfortunate compile target. Yes you can do it and it is done but js idiosyncrasies leak into the source langues pretty easily.
It sounds more like what you are saying is you want instruments orbiting around the L2 lagrange point of the Jupiter-Sun system. Do I understand you right?

At first I was confused because the “geo” in geosycnronous means that the orbit is centered around the Earth. But you are talking about Jupiter, so I thought maybe you mean a “jovisyncronous” orbit? One orbiting around the Jupiter with the same orbital period the Jupiter rotates with. But then you also say opposite the sun, and that orbit would be on the opposite side from the Sun only some of the time (because Jupiter is not tidaly locked with the Sun). So my best guess now is that you mean L2.

What kind of measurement would you want to do there? And how would you get the results back to Earth?
