Yes, and we're talking about whether it's an actual problem.

First of all, the vast majority of people live blocks, if not miles, from bodegas or their equivalent. Why are these people special?

Note that they could have bodegas - they're just not willing to pay what it costs to have bodegas in those neighborhoods and they're unwilling to move, despite having the means to do so. (Of course, you can interpret Doordash as a way to buy a substitute for nearby bodegas. In which case, they've paid to solve the problem in a way that is acceptable to them. Where do you get off saying otherwise?)

Yes, some of them are complaining. So what? That's all that they're willing to do, despite having the ability to do more. Their actions tell us that this really isn't a big problem for them.

I never care more about someone else's problems than they do.

Feel free to do otherwise.
It seems that they have very little incentive to take risks/deviate from the common path. Why help an outlier patient, when even if their unusual treatment doesn't do any harm, it could be wrongfully associated with some random bad outcome?

With the system set up like this, game theory basically guarantees we end up with the state as OP describes.
There's no need to politicize this off completely unrelated tangent. The whole industry is under stress. It won't change. They will just hire foreign workers to deal with shortages.
I wandered into the comments to find or write the correct "before times" bit, and I think this covers everything I would've mentioned.

I'll add that looking back, EXT seemed to be a bit ahead of its time. Its data/table view rivals AG Grid [0] of today. If we could've just standardized on a table view by now, but alas.

Every software project is a trash fire. Incompetence can definitely make a more severe trash fire, but the vast majority of the time, it'll just be due to constrained resources. There's never enough time to get anything truly "right."

Your teams will get better than in college, but the software..

When you accept it, you can start to focus on controlling the trash fires in tactical ways - it's a big part of the job.

If you take to time to make software to your standards, all the companies with lower standards will crush you.

You can also "retire to startups", meaning go pick the most interesting company to work with and not worry about their ability to pay you or even their long-term viability. If the work interests you and the people will be good to work with, you don't need anything else.

It looks like Apple generated more revenue from wearables (AirPods and Apple Watch) than what it generated from selling Macs.
Even if we ignore the legal distinction here, you seem to be arguing that it is fine to abandon this principle in this particular case. You've even framed this as "[T]he left is making a big mistake here, defending a company town in the 21st century." It's almost like the rules are set so that the left can never win. When the right's actions blatantly violate the principle of free speech, rather than accept the newly shared common ground with the left and actually defend the principle, it is spun as a bad thing.

A lot of us are saying we need to increase the pay of nurses, but we also believe that medical care is too expensive. So, where is all that money going? There are a lot of flippant answers but they never seem to lead anywhere actionable.
The real irony is that you are not really familiar with @Dril, and the dry sarcasm went a-wooshin' past you, but you still had you run your mouth about something you thought you had a handle on.
Is that a feature or a bug? The world may never know.
I've been a sysadmin (now, devops, SRE, whatever) for over 15 years now, so when you say:

> No one is telling all programmers they they need to learn about every programming language

I cringe a little.

There are about 25 different DSL's in my head from configuring various desired state configuration systems or services which use DSLs, there's countless config file formats ranging for ZONE files to TOML to YAML to HCL and on and on and on.

Makefiles, Dockerfiles, Ninja files, Jenkinsfiles etc;etc;etc;etc;

DevOps of Yore had to know bash and perl, then it was Ruby, then python, now Go. The treadmill continues, it's _necessary_ to learn those things because you _must_ interact with those things.

That's before we get into special languages like AWK which had significant prominence when I was beginning life as a sysadmin too.

Nobody is forcing programmers to know every language, but honestly, there's a lot that sysadmins had to learn, and with the rise of DevOps, developers are the SysAdmins of tomorrow: so you have to know what we knew.
That’s the definition of the “Peter Principle”. Just because you are good at your profession doesn’t mean that you are good at management.

Ask HN: What's your estimate for the real inflation number?
I keep seeing references from official sources about inflation being at 8.5% YoY. Yet every person I speak to tells me a similar story that their typical grocery run went from $100 to $200 (or more)

Why are we struggling to just say inflation is 100%? I can't find a single item that I normally buy that isn't double the price it was last year.

Also the official numbers don't really mean anything for the general population. I would say that most people have a couple items in their life that they normally HAVE to buy that have quadrupled in price - whatever that may be - seems to have an effect of making them lose an additional $5,000 to $10,000 per year. Not sure how the gas prices are going to affect this.

Why are the officials refusing to just say it? We can't fix things if we hide under "good looking" numbers.

At first I thought it was me buying Tillamook cheese (for example) until I bought the store brand last week and realized it was the same damn price.

My only guess is the government switched pricing things at Safeway to pricing expired cheese and eggs at Dollar General or something.
I would say its more based on companies than industry. If the company is not profitable, has <6mo runway(startup) than it most likely will be one to avoid.

Big companies that make money, google, apple, etc will be fine. For medium sized companies if you involved in a unit that makes the company money or run core infrastructure you should also be fine. For smallish companies if they survive you better hope you are single point of failure and if you left things would be in a bad state.
I am a software engineer and do not consider myself a code monkey. Do not speak for all of us.
There's even more in here beyond the headline about nurse satisfaction.

USA healthcare pretty broken, and sliding into catastrophe. Nurse dissatisfaction is just the tip of the iceberg, or the canary in the coalmine.

> Eighty-four percent of emergency room nurses and 96% of intensive care or critical care nurses have a 4:1 ratio, which is double the optimal target of 2:1.

> Thirty-six percent of nurses said they've seen patients with acute health conditions walk out of the ER because of the wait times for an inpatient bed. And 37% said that surgeries had to be rescheduled because of bed shortages.
I want a whitelisting system for email where:

* If you're whitelisted you get through or I can manually whitelist you.

* If you're not whitelisted, I send a bounceback response stating that I'll look at your email for $X where X is set by me ( e.g. $0.25 or $1, but I decide). No guarantee of refund, but I have the option of refunding. For me, if you wasted my time, I won't refund. However, if you're a legit human that isn't marketing to me, then I would refund.

Then, I just adjust the price until spam disappears or I'm willing to look at your spam at that price.

So, I haven't applied to MIT (lol). But some schools I applied to did ask what major I'd like to do. It could be that MIT doesn't accept applicants who want to do CS who haven't taken some level of CS fundamentals before.

My school wasn't that mean. I think the programming II class was the weed class, and I think the deciding factor was that the projects just took a lot more time than homework you're likely to get in other 100 level courses. I had no CS background but with enough time I got through the homework. Not everyone had the time or the interest.
I think life is too short to waste it maintaining automated tests on an internal frontend.
I jumped into the comments here to post exactly what you did. Let's hope TMftF remains fiction.
Security at the time was an afterthought, when I was in high school on OS 9 they whitelisted what programs could open on student accounts, but if you created a custom "Open X" button in the AppleWorks toolbar it would first show you an error that you weren't allowed to open it, and then open it anyway.

The check for whether a program was on the whitelist used the executable's 4-character "creator code", so you could also change that to an allowed code in ResEdit and make anything you want open without argument straight from Finder.

I used to use "RASM" which was the remote access status monitor, and was enabled for all counts by default.

It's definitely a bit of a problem that it takes as much research to command as it does... but I don't believe it's so grand.

The distribution provided policies offer some sane defaults, smaller shops like this are less likely to be writing in-house software breaking the mold.

When they do run into a problem though it's bigger, because unless their people have been doing enterprise-y things, they don't really get the necessary exposure
It's probably somewhere in the middle. Frankly, your stakes haven't been very high. I promise you'll notice a difference once you're doing work where money is on the line.

> I go to a state school not really known for CS, although we have a huge CS undergraduate body.

This is a big part of it. If CS isn't a strength at your university, why would you expect your classmates to be highly interested/capable on average? Lots of people are in the field purely for the money. Hell, lots of people are in the field thinking they'll hire a team of engineers to implement some master plan and IPO their way to riches.

> I thought that when I got to Amazon, things would be different: highly motivated people working on exceptional software. But the webapp I was working on (internal) was poorly held together...

Back to my original point, you were an intern. You certainly were not working on critical systems at aws. Things will get different real fast once you're working somewhere long-term on systems directly affecting the bottom line. With so little experience, its a bit early to assess the industry as a whole.

Learn as much as you can. If you keep pushing, you'll end up where you belong. If you decide to mail it in and collect a paycheck, you'll be stuck with other people who are also mailing it in.

Throwing away the commit and doing it again can easily go wrong. It is easy to commit unintended changes by mistake.

The interactive rebase is a completely normal operation and intended for exactly this situation. It is also much easier to craft more than one commit, and last minute fixes of spelling errors and such things.
> Does it become toxic micro particles in our waters, bodies?

I think the answer to that question lays somewhere between maybe and probably.

I'm curious, what made you bring up the point ? Is micro-particle poisoning a common concern for you. Or perhaps it was it the context of micro-particles being used in the aforementioned products which have short ownership-periods ?

I'm not trying to dismiss your concern, I'm just curious why bring it up now.

On the topic of shortly-owned-products, I for one have a dislike for cheap plastic beach toys. For example, the retailer Dollar Tree sells plastic sand buckets that break at an amount of force easily exerted by a child. At the beach where I vacation, you can peer into any trashcan and find broken sand toys and foam boogie boards which only break after one day of use.
I have training similar to a WFR that I got in Argentina. I wanted to certify as an EMT in California because why not? It's 160 hours of classes plus 24 hours or practical or something like that for the national exam and then it's the state requirements. Private training is around 2000 dollars. Ok I'm cool with that.

There's no way to get a certification with online learning or with any kind of in person time schedule compatible with my job... ok... maybe I can get time off? I have to re-get all sorts of immunizations I already have and re-do medical checks that I already had to get for my green card, like a year ago... ok... that's a lot more time off. Oh, they drug check me! well... I guess even I would work on healthcare more for vocational reasons I'm not doing it while I'm in California. It's just too much of a hassle and with the staff shortages I feel I'm just being taken advantage off.

In Nevada it's only take the course, pass the exam and you can already go on an ambulance, so are most other states.
I think there's something to comparing education (especially when delivered remotely) to YouTube. There's a huge variance between the teaching skills of teachers, just as there is variance between how entertaining YouTubers are. The difference is, the best teachers get paid the same as average ones, while nobody knows the name of an average creator.

I wrote briefly about the topic in a blog post, titled "Professors as Creators". It explores the idea briefly, and how treating teachers as "creators" could add value not just to remote learning, but to in-person lessons as well. https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/professors-as-creators-h...
The principle was abandoned a long time ago. I'd love to see a renewed commitment to the principle, but not on an ad hoc basis, case by case, only when it serves someone's interests. An ad hoc call for free speech is not a call for free speech at all.

Edit in response to below: The courts will enforce the law without any input from us. We can only wait and see what they do, if anything. So I'm not discussing that, I'm discussing the hypocrisy in advocating for the principle only when it suits you.

Second edit: It's possible that people simply have different interpretations of the principle, but if that was the case, I'd expect to see a lot more objections to schools that force mandatory ideology on their students, failing them if they disagree; more objections to Canada and European countries when they punish people for their expression; and fewer concerns about Musk taking over Twitter.

What I see instead is people who only call for free speech to defend speech they agree with. Which, as I said before, isn't free speech at all.

Large companies have rounds of layoffs to trim the fat during the good times. This goes into overdrive during bad times.
Currently, because MS and Google more or less have a duopoly on email. They don't trust you not to send spam, and they will make it as hard as possible for you to prove that you're not a spammer. Ostensibly this is so they can protect their users. More cynically, I suspect they're quite happy about this.

Historically, because we are - for whatever reason - unwilling or unable to deal with spammers. I mean the people sending the spam and profiting from it. There are virtually no repercussions for spamming millions of people with garbage on a daily basis. Every cent you make is profit.

Putting spammers in prison would make it a lot easier to go back to hosting our own mail servers.

Also, don't forget that the laws of physics also weigh heavily on the minds of most engineering disciplines. Stuff has density, strength, thermal and kinetic properties that reflect omnipresent constraints on most decisions.
Mine is an HTI-19 320 x 240 resolution one that was $233 on Amazon. It's not cheap, but I've certainly saved more than that in electricity from problems it identified in the 2.5 years since I bought it. It works just fine.

An infrared camera is great for tracking down and fixing insulation problems in your house, if you own a home. And fixing insulation issues really brings down your heating/cooling bills.

If you don't own a home the value proposition is a lot worse, but $200 or so still isn't bad for something that amounts to a fun toy.

EDIT: Sorry, it was $380 before Amazon points. I should have clicked into the invoice.
Lepton v5.0 – Firefox's 100 options and unopinionated custom theme
- Option

As a first anniversary update, an option system is introduced.

Everything can be configured with 100+ options and changes to a unopinionated theme.

- Customize

To enhance customization, we changed the folder structure and updated the installation script.

If there are any changes: Run `git stash` and `git stash pop` before and after `git pull`.
If there are `user-overrides.js`, `userChrome-overrides.css`, and `userContent-overrides.css` files, proceed with override

- Developement

The Pure CSS file has been changed to SCSS.
Therefore, it becomes more structured, and the compatibility response has become easier.

Developer documents have been added to facilitate development, and discussions have been activated.
"... poor processes, along with inefficient operational workflows and administrative burden are key drivers of frustration and burnout among ..." [insert job here]

This is pretty much universal in my experience. As a dev, it always seems to boil down to these. It's amazing how the business doesn't know their processes, can't document them accurately, or simply don't care to analyze and document them. Garbage requirements become a garbage system.
Twitter workers freaking out over Elon Musk in internal Slack messages
This is the best explanation I’ve seen yet of what Deutsch was getting at. I think he actually has a good point. The problem with misapplications of Bayesian probability is that they tend to produce a bogus sense of progress while eliding the interesting questions. For example take the hypothetical statement: “The news that a supercomputer has defeated the reigning Go champion has increased the probability that machines are capable of consciousness.” The form of this statement completely obscures the interesting question, which is: What is the causal connection between being good at Go and consciousness. There is an unspoken theory that the two are connected, but the statement offers no evidence for it, and hence is meaningless.

Yeah, I just don't get the “if I stab you, but you actually deserved it, you aren't actually harmed by it.”

Whether or not that's how you view harm, that's not the understanding of harm that is operative in law. Justification is a separate consideration from harm there, even if you conflate them together.

I'm not concerned about people reading the whole story and having a bad impression. I'm concerned about people deliberately cherry-picking a part of the sentence to quote out of context just to stir up outrage. Outrage can be monetized extremely well on social media and, sadly, some people will follow this financial incentive no matter how unethical.

I've already seen an unflattering partial quote of one of my HN comments end up in a newspaper once, so I'm a bit careful about that. But it would be very difficult to write a funny and juicy story in such a way that it is "evil quote safe", which is why I decided against it.
Yes I learned that some time ago and found it pretty funny so I kept it.
