The problem is we are not seeing this "As they get older they will transition" that usually happens.

What we are seeing, is that the transition out of the idealistic world view, is happening at a much later age. That is already happening with Gen Y or Millennials, and especially those in Tech. People who are over 40s still have these simplistic world view.

I dont know what it is about Tech. But it is especially problematic in tech.
That’s because DDG uses Bing search results. So its unsurprising to see DDG and Bing manipulating search results.

Google is able to do the exact same thing and can manipulate, downrank and censor search results. So they are no different.
> remote job doing architecture mostly solo

In my experience, architecture is the much less solo than dev work. Everything you do as an architect impacts a lot of people (usually multiple teams, managers), so there has to be a ton of communication behind your work. Senior architects are not unlike managers and often spend most of their days in meetings.
There's a substantial qualitative difference between what gets through Youtube's and Facebook's filter, versus what gets past Twitter. They're not even practicing the current state of the art, as practiced by their peers.
Occasionally? Recently (maybe the last 6 months) I have been seeing a huge amount of spam getting through (comparatively - maybe 10 a day make it to my inbox). Previously I rarely saw any.
I don't understand your complaint. Are you regularly finding bugs in the runtime and in the core libraries? If you compiled to byte code how would that makes anything easier?

Or you're just annoyed that stacks includes Java frames? In CIDER you can make it only display frames from your own code or only Clojure frames. Then you don't need to see Java frames.. and it'll look equivalent to being compiled to bytecode...
> Theft? Something if equal value should be taken from you.

What if the theft was "random and arbitrary", as most thefts are? Why does soemthing of equal value need to be taken in the case of a theft, but when it comes to racism, a figure of over $100m is justified? This makes absolutely no sense.
They stated in writing this is free. There was nothing about it going away after 14 years. It’s understandable if the product ceases to exist. But besides technicalities, the product is obviously still Alive.

If we aren’t to except the service for free, then should we assume everything Google says is a lie? What am I to expect when Google says something concrete

This is not like other killed products where a promise of free serbice was stated. And the product isn’t being killed off just upgraded.
May I express how annoying it is in the 21st century to read such a long prose in Twitter format? Feels like the UX is worse than paper newspaper.
In terms of security these technologies are (mostly) strictly worse than SGX, and there hasn't been nearly enough security research done on them. Also, the physical attack vectors remain (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.04575). A small but interesting counterexample is x86 TSC: with SGX the MSR is modifiable by ring 0, with AMD SEV-SNP it is protected from the hypervisor. The real value of these newer technologies is not increased security, but rather increased usability. (Also, small sidenote: TDX relies on SGX.)

I think the biggest contribution that cloud providers can bring to the table in the mid-term is mitigation of the physical attack vector. This would involve inserting themselves as a second root of trust in attestations (SEV has explicit support for this), which would mean that a real world attack would require collusion of multiple parties (pick 2 of Hardware vendor, Cloud provider, Software vendor).
Try doing the exercise yourself to be convinced. Check out zillow/redfin/etc for properties and then do the planning to buy and rent it. Consider all costs. Look at equivalent rents in that area. Can you make any profit? Probably not.

Source: been doing this spreadsheet exercise for more than a decade. Have never found a property I could buy and rent out at a profit.

The creators of twitter, facebook were children who created a Frankenstein. They had no understanding of human nature. They have amplified good and more so evil. The mistake that people make is thinking that human nature is good by default
"Manufacturing consent" was written in 1988. Did Russia's campaign against the truth was already happening?

When I was growing up, certainly before even RT existed, it was common knowledge that journalist will cover the events according to their own (or bosses) interests. IME (not russian, but also not american), the idea of objective reporting is the anomaly.
If you spend some time on Twitter and Reddit before the war you will see it everywhere.
It’s human nature to place everything in the world around us into categories. Think about your daily life and consider how much of it is built on the idea that ‘This’ is different from ‘That’. Social connections are no different and we could not feasibly ever have a 100% flat society, as inevitably we will categorize our contacts and hierarchies will emerge.

On some level I think this is inherently biological; maybe it all stems from the need to differentiate ‘good for existence’ (e.g. food) from ‘might kill me’ and all creatures do it.
Pretty sure WSLg is also on Win 10 no?
I was replying to

"I think Rust is a good position in the sense that the language and community has a track record and culture of going and solving problems instead of sitting on them forever. I agree that many challenges of kernel development are going to end up strengthening and evolving Rust as a language."

So I picked some ongoing language examples where this isn't quite true.
There is absolutely no sense in which antabuse "cures alcoholism", I really can't think of a worse way to put that. All it does is cause a violent physical reaction when alcohol is consumed.

Alcoholism is an umbrella term for 2 co-occurring disorders, one physical and one mental. On the physical side, alcohol produces an allergy which manifests as an intense physical craving for more alcohol - craving in the sense of a physiological need, which the alcoholic experiences on equal footing as a need for food, water or oxygen. The mental side of things (often referred to in AA as a spiritual ailment) is a sort of compulsive disorder in which the alcoholic becomes absolutely obsessed with proving to himself and others that he can "drink normally". The obsession is why the first drink is taken and the allergy is why it will never be enough.

Now, the allergy is relieved immediately by removing the allergen, say by going to rehab or drying out at home, but as anyone who has spent any time at all around one of us knows, this purely physical "sobriety" is usually short lived if the mental obsession is left untreated. The proposition of antabuse is basically identical. Everyone I've ever known who took antabuse simply stopped X days ahead of a relapse. It is completely useless.

As for whether or not it alleviates anxiety in rodents, I will leave that to the people who are studying it.

Yes, I think that’s an appropriate comment.

Why is them that we consider kings? Because our social imaginary [1] now is that of technocracy. Whoever can create technology and achieve money with technology is who’s worthy.

And why do we need kings? I don’t think there is consensus in this response but psychoanalysis and philosophy [2] have said a lot about this.

Wrong. He could probably borrow $43bn against Tesla shares in a few weeks at the most. He doesn't have to sell any Tesla shares.
> I’m sorry you had such bad experience but you were working with the wrong people (feels like toxic even).

It's the tool itself and it's imposed workflow of blocking work and gaining absolute power in demanding changes, that causes the working environment to become toxic. Nobody would ever do that in a meeting "I'm blocking this work now until my demands have been met". That would be incredibly hostile, but with this tool it becomes normal.
> There's an almost religious adherence to broken product management practices. Endless sprints, endless user stories, obsession with "velocity", constant meetings and status updates..

It's caused by non-technical people invading our field and taking over many of the managerial positions. They can't pretty much contribute anything software-related and often have poor grasp on what's going on - so the only thing left for them to do is to be the "process police" and pester people about estimates, ceremonies etc. It's the only way they can "contribute", so they insist it's vital, as otherwise it would be completely transparent that they're a third wheel.
The idea that an AI engineer for self driving could be trivially retasked to content moderation is fairly laughable as well.

That's not to say there aren't overlapping skill sets, but the AI tech involved is quite distinct (although there is overlap, I believe some of the latest perception research is trying to adapt transformers from NLP to replace CNNs). Many of my colleagues are AI/ML engineers working on the self driving problems (perception, prediction, planning) and they're all super smart, but they'd still take a while to get up to speed in another area.

I have no idea why a serious business would hire a non-NLP specialised engineer to solve content moderation (they'd maybe hire someone who was interested in changing sub-field, but not to build out the backbone of their teams).
I totally get the appeal of land taxes and restriction of land-use regulation at the local level, and by and large they seem like a reasonable approach to poor resource allocation and unequal ownership opportunities. One thing I've not seen addressed, though, is the apparent disincentive to improve communities in meaningful ways.

For instance, say I live in a very expensive city and I can no longer afford the land tax. I decide to move to a less expensive city and set up roots there. This new city is crummier: the city government is inefficient, there are fewer amenities available, and local institutions are poorly organized and executed.

I spend some time petitioning the local government to make reforms, I work with local groups to improve city amenities, and I vote for policies to revive local institutions. As I do this, the city becomes much nicer. However, it also becomes more attractive for other folks from the expensive city who can afford to buy up local property and drive up the value/taxes of my land. If this goes on, I'll once again be in a situation where I can't afford to live in my home because others want to live there too.

Say if, after moving to my cheaper city, I had instead decided to keep the city as crummy as possible while meeting my own needs. I drive a car, so I vote against bike lanes. I don't have young kids, so I lobby against school levies. I don't swim, so I vote against a public pool. This is objectively worse for the city as a whole, but if I want to be able to afford to live in a city that meets my needs these are the actions I should take.

There are always going to be tradeoffs between the opportunities of people who live in places and those who want to live in those places. Stringent local regulations weigh heavily in favor of those who currently live in places, and this is widely recognized (e.g. the term NIMBY is widely known). Land taxes and deregulated local zoning seem to weigh heavily in the opposite direction, but I rarely see this addressed or acknowledged. Moreover, land taxes in particular seem like they actively disincentivize pro-social or civically minded policies for existing residents (whereas local regulations allow communities to improve themselves without being priced out through other means).

If I'm missing some context here let me know, but it's one of my main critiques when these proposals pop up that I've never seen satisfactorily addressed.
America’s housing supply will grow. A policy that it grows only by sprawl is a policy of cruelty to everyone today and in the future who thrives best in an urban environment and isn’t super-rich.

Urban environments can’t be stamped onto cornfields; they only occur when sparser environments become expensive. I don’t think there’s a right to live in any arbitrary expensive town. I do think there’s a right to have the expensive-town-to-city pipeline running somewhere at more than a trickle, so that urbanism is not impossible to access.
Well, this is exactly what would be argued about in a shareholder lawsuit if this deal falls through and the stock is back to $30.

In that case I would be terrified as a board member, I've basically lost about $15bn of shareholder value for my shareholders.
I think it was only available on some particular Insider builds of Windows 10, not the general releases. Cynical take is obviously that they discontinued support precisely to entice developers to migrate to Windows 11.

Surely this will filter out ~50% of people who are good but don’t have any public code?

I have a family and as such no free time for coding so I haven’t written any code I can legally show anyone else in more than a decade. But everyone who has employed me is more than happy with my work. Not to mention code is only half of why you would want to employ any developer.
The sign has that design because it used to mean the end of the speed limit - you'll also hear it referred to as "deristricted" although that hasn't been accurate for many years. Rather than spend a vast amount of money replacing the signs and potentially also missing some and resulting in driver confusion, the National Speed Limit was introduced.
Some years ago there were some guys who implemented FIDO2 on an iPhone (Krypt.co, now bought by Akamai).

Sure, people could steal your phone at the same time they steal your laptop. But it's still somewhat less likely, since the phone isn't designed to be plugged in 24/7 in your laptop's USB port, unlike the YubiKey Nano, for example.
> Anecdotally, I know people who buy single family homes and rent them for profit. My 3 bed, 2 bath single-family home has a $3,000/monthly mortgage, I could easily rent it for more than $3,500 (closer to $4,000). Take out 10% for maintenance fees, and I net $200 a month.

In other words, you could not make a profit.

You need to consider all costs, not just mortgage. Taxes, insurance, maintenance, repairs, downtime (when it sits empty between renters).

If your mortgage is $3000 and you can only rent it for less than $4000, you can't make a profit.

I go through this math often while daydreaming of renting my house and retiring somewhere cheaper. There isn't any scenario I can come up with where it would actually be profitable.

> They had no understanding of human nature.

I find it impossible to believe that anyone who runs a social media site at any scale doesn't learn the truth, very quickly.

The whole "we just didn't know" explanation is such line of crap. Once you have a few thousand (maybe even few hundred) social users you will learn that some humans are psychopaths. This knowledge is unavoidable.

I would also like to point out that I disagree with lumping it all in as "human nature." When not brainwashed, humans are generally pretty agreeable, but we do have a significant number of psychopaths among us.

I don't buy the naivete explanation for a second, and no one else should either. That story only serves to hide the real explanations which are likely much more interesting.
Also, moving things to the GPU may be good for throughput but bad for latency depending on the workload, since offloading to GPU has a cost and data exchanges too.
How is kagi more private? It requires an account to use, and it’s going to be a paid service. So it always has a strong user ID associated with every query. Whether it is not stored and not processed cannot be verified. It’s the same story about trust.

The problem is false positives. Graham's experience of combating spam involved writing a Bayesian filter for his mailbox. That's fine. Somebody misses a message and one of the two parties feels bad, but they eventually either catch up or get over it. You can't "leave" that platform.

Twitter, on the other hand, is pretty sensitive to false positives, and the vernacular is so unique that naive Bayesian filtering would destroy a lot of communities with their own vocabularies and languages. If messages start arbitrarily dropping on it, its users won't stick around.

Sure, you could absolutely knock out spam. It wouldn't be that hard. Because fighting spam isn't the hard part. It's dodging the problem of firing on innocent people that the spam is using as body shields that's the hard part.

They already get incredible volumes of criticism for what little false positives they already have. Imagine if it was normal to be put in a time-out box by a Bayesian filter that wasn't tailored for your community!

Combating spam is something that has very few possible upsides for twitter, and a catastrophic failure case. Right now, spam mostly tends to effect larger accounts, who are going to stay on the platform anyway, because it's where the people are. What little spam small accounts see is manageable, and they won't leave because of it because it's so insignificant. If suddenly they couldn't send messages to others at random and without warning? Why would they stick around, then?
Now I am the Java guy, impressive.

The "please don't offend this language I have intertwined with my own identity with" attitude in modern times is so tragic.

I have always been, and will be, plenty of things, and if it makes you feel good to call me Java guy, when someone criticizes your beloved Rust, please do.
To be honest as a developer I might have thought twice about certain roles had I seen their code base ahead of time!

Nothing cured my imposter syndrome (self taught, no degree) like walking into a startup and seeing PhDs fail to follow just about everything I'd ever learned was best practice and was doing without thinking in my own projects.
Wasn’t Snap not effected by it because of them having a diff ad focus than FB?

Is Google not affected by this? I can see how they aren’t outside Youtube.

Pinterest and LinkedIn missing. LinkedIn is a massive revenue source (and possible profit puppy)

No matter, $13B seems like a ton. Seems too much.
Tasks List with Time Tracking
Last person I hired to work with me in my previous job I walked them through the entire code base, architecture and CI setup. This gave the hire a chance to best understand day to day work and me a chance to know which parts they understood immediately and which they would need to learn. Works perfectly for me.
Xanax is about the worst choice for this because the half life is so short. Most often people receive ativan or librium for the taper you describe.
These kinds of articles always seem to get a lot of comments, and so many hiring processes seem to miss the mark.

If the criteria that you use for engineering hires has nearly 0 overlap with the criteria that you use for engineering promotions, then I'd assert that your company is suffering from some serious cognitive dissonance.

This article describes a hiring process that is probably a lot more useful than what I've typically witnessed at the FAANG's, provided the results can be quantified.

> Review also shouldn't be causing ego antagonisms.

Yeah but the tool itself is antagonistic, because it imposes a workflow of open source, a workflow that also is antagonistic with clear and absolute power. So using that tool suddenly brings that antagonism and power into a team which is supposed to be 100% collaborative, and it also only does it periodically and with random and different people in power. It's not hard to see how that becomes somewhat complicated.
I hear this "oh but we're so smart, remember how many regular people there are!" thing often on HN. I'm reasonably sure the person you are imagining is not average, they are sometimes called the lowest common denominator. Even my old highschool friend who delivers pizzas hates smart TVs and can tell good UX from bad. My other one, and his wife, both non-technical computer haters in non-tech fields, have covered this topic and said they miss when things weren't so "smart", and would rather be in charge of buying a playstation/Roku/whatever to control their TV.

Big businesses chronically underestimate consumers, don't try to teach them anything, and don't give them options for fear of confusing them. They forget everyone who works for them and their partners or makes the things they consume are also the consumers they abuse.

Ask HN: Hybrid App Framework
I'm looking to build an app that runs on a desktop (Windows) and mobile (Android).

It a simple app and I'm looking to manage it with a single set of code. I'm open to suggestions but I'm thinking of HTML, CSS, and vanilla JS.

Im really confused about which framework to use. I'm going hybrid because I need access to the filesystem and some other native things. I have limited experience with Cordova, but it looks like no one uses this anymore in favour of react or flutter. What's the best one to go for now?
Genuinely curious,

When you state you are a "millennial on the left", In the context of US / Americans, does left here means Democrats, or does left here means left on the political spectrum. Or at least left in the US political spectrum. ( Since left in US and left in UK are largely if not completely different )

Because I have seen a lot of "NATO skepticism on the American left". I dont even think the word skepticism is correct. They literally wanted to cancel NATO.

Wouldn't your view, in this case be more aligned as what is called centre-left? Especially in the context of US. Because if an outsider were to judge the US Left purely from Internet / Social Media / TV / Mass Media, than being pro-NATO ( so to speak ) is very much a right wing or non left wing view.

Most people who have “rejected” Twitter did not do so because of Twitter issues but wanting micro blogging sort of social platform.

Most rejected the overall concept. The amt of users that stil want something similar but not Twitter AND who will be appeased by whatever alt Twitter is made is an even smaller number.

It is ethically questionable but on the other hand you would want to know that your son is dead and retrieve a body to perform funeral rites. As it is now, Russian army doesn't care about their casualties and do not even try to retrieve their fallen comrades. Probably to minimise protests against this pointless war at home.
