Looks interesting, but does it offer any unique features that set it apart from other such languages like JSON, XML, etc.? I see that matrix example, but is it any different from an array? (I couldn't tell from reading the docs.)
That’s just because Oxide hasn’t paid to post their jobs there.
These tend to be better than the alternative but let me warn you: people know what you actually mean and it'll be treated almost as negatively over time.

I didn't look at all of these but this one stuck out:

> I told you so

> As per my prediction, this outcome does not come as a surprise.

Don't say this. It's just as bad and really negative. It's not even passive aggressive. It's just aggressive.
I love not carrying around a dongle for my new macbook pro. I can’t believe they removed those in the first place. Its a pro model.
Yes; that's correct. There's a change of language register to "corporate workplace" but no change of meaning or intent.

I can still tell you're being an asshole even if you write in business English, so can others who read it, and no-one is giving bonus marks for "professionalism".
That's mostly because people in good circumstances are usually reluctant to attribute much of it to luck.

It's so much more fun to pretend that everything good that's happened to you, you earned and deserved, rather than a lot of it just being random noise that compounded in the fortunate direction.

Nano takes care of this, just like it disables line buffering (ICANON) and signal keys (ISIG).
I really would want to develop everything from scratch and not use preexisting libraries. But Pascal seems interesting. But a concerning thing would be an active community and active open-source projects. I'll take a closer look at pascal.
I was equally confused, and found: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/architecture/cloud-n...

It says:
Feature flags are built upon conditional logic that control visibility of functionality for users at run time. In modern cloud-native systems, it's common to deploy new features into production early, but test them with a limited audience. As confidence increases, the feature can be incrementally rolled out to wider audiences.

Looks like this supports an advanced form of, let's be generous, integration testing.

Other uses mentioned by the article:
Restrict premium functionality to specific customer groups willing to pay higher subscription fees.
Stabilize a system by quickly deactivating a problem feature, avoiding the risks of a rollback or immediate hotfix.
Disable an optional feature with high resource consumption during peak usage periods.
Conduct experimental feature releases to small user segments to validate feasibility and popularity.

All of this sounds to me like an urge to release before something is technologically mature. (note, not functionally mature, that's just A/B testing).

Sometimes I wonder that if you need these things, are you really sure about anything you're doing at all? I don't mean the individual developer, I mean the software industry at large.

Imagine a civil engineer saying:
yeah we're gonna build a new bridge here, and we're gonna let in only like 10 cars a minute, just to see if it holds. Then later, as we get more confidence, we can open it up more.

or

We're gonna add a way to temporarily block this off ramp from the highway to the city. If it gets too busy we can just block the off ramp, and everything will be fine.

I feel that most of the reasons mentioned above, except for A/B testing, are kind of bogus. Maybe somebody with more experience can share a counter view.
That's a pretty big assumption that the developer gets to choose their tooling and APIs. A lot of times you don't have the choice and just have to use what the other 99% of the codebase is using, even if it's terribly documented.

It's not really disingenuous if you look at it from another perspective that you really are a team. It's generally productive to try to position things from the same side of the table rather than opposing sides of the table. It's cooperation instead of competition. In your example you're not attacking someone else's suggestion, you're evaluating your teams current path, you're removing ego which removes defensiveness.
What happened? Never had issues with basic AirPods. Works for me on the iPhone, iPad, MacBook and on a Windows PC with basically zero configuration.
> That instruction is a flaw in the experiment. It's always impossible to tell, for any given sequence, whether it was produced by a fair die. There's nothing an experimental subject can do to make the impossible more impossible.

I don't think it's a flawed instruction -- i.e., I believe most participants will read it as intended, and it will produce interesting results. I read it as follows:

"Suppose we show a person your sequence and a sequence generated via an actual random number generator. Minimize the average probability that that person correctly guesses which sequence was generated by a human, across all possible real random sequences."

I guess most other people would read it that way, even it is not formally correct from a statistical perspective. And I believe it gets at what they're trying to measure.
Have you used it and found an actual issue with the problem? If you randomly remember 1 time a month to plug it in when you go to lunch its effectively a non-issue. Consider it was well thought out.
Thanks. Apple Park of course wasn’t a consumer product, and Apple Watch has only been modestly successful (and isn’t particularly beautiful or useful in my opinion). I read half the article and didn’t see anything about the design of the Apple Watch being compromised. It mostly discussed how Apple did not follow Ive’s preferred marketing approach. of course, he could’ve been right that it would’ve been more popular if they had marketed it as he recommended.

What did you find impressive about him?

Jony Ive was Steve Jobs’ extension. Steve needed Ive at Apple but Cook didn’t really need him because Apple fast became something entirely different since the introduction of iPhone. In my view, Apple will always be in its best form guided by engineers. I think there was a period (a couple of years since Jobs’ passing) where Apple was playing “What-would-Steve-do?” and I am so glad the executives leapfrogged that mentality of chasing after an icon’s shadow.
I’m currently interviewing for jobs in Israel and their “straight talk” habit is honestly number one problem for me.

People never schedule meetings, they just ask for your phone number and call whether it’s appropriate for them. They interrupt you in the meetings, tell your solution is bad.

It may sound refreshing on paper, but honestly you feel treated like a low-skilled worker in a laundry or a kitchen. I’m not a Westerner, but I do come from a background of working with an English company and the difference in respect to boundaries and time is night and day.
I was (pleasantly) surprised to see that the analogous website for Mexico, where you buy government-issued bonds called Cetes, is significantly less confusing to use. That is not at all what I expect when comparing government websites between my native Mexico and the US! (Paying taxes is another example of something with much, much better UI/UX in Mexico, but there probably are not many other examples.)

Also, the refunds for Cetes when you go over the limit take a few days, not 8 to 10 weeks.
What would stop an entity creating many other entities to sway voting outcomes? This would be referred to as a Sybil attack.

I think you would need something like a web of trust (each entity is responsible for the actors they vouch for). Otherwise, some kind of proof of how many users they represent.
Sorry, I meant "... $1,000 per year". $6K × 12 months × (1.5÷100) = $1,080
It's akin to an elementary school craft project as well. "When in doubt, use more glue stick." UI design ends up being cutting out more and more interesting shapes from construction paper.

I hope this is a joke. This sort of corporate garbage language is a scourge.

I've not heard of the "PDI" concept before this, but I believe the same thing can be achieved by simply adapting to your audience.

The problem is actually knowing your audience (as individuals) well enough to assess how they will interpret your words.

Can you assume that all Saudi's, for instance, will react well to the somewhat cloying language suggested by the OP's post? I think not. But if you don't personally know the audience it's also tricky to know what each culture's acceptably polite "default" is.

I've gotten myself into some etiquette faux-pas in the past by using sarcasm and irreverent humor around Chinese colleagues. My previous experience with Chinese folks had been limited to grad school and I had just (wrongly) assumed that such communication was OK as the default.
This is one of my bigger use cases for Matrix. Having a consistent UI with complete history for IRC is pretty great.

Although it also helps that Matrix being relatively close to Discord in terms of basic feature set made it possible for me to convince friends to use it as a Discord backup and for more private conversations. With IRC they would've probably shrugged it off as another "Linux nerd" thing.
I get it, its not an investment that Buffett typically makes. And he really shouldn't as it goes against his wise principal of not investing in things he doesn't fully understand. If you see his historical investments, they were generally boring high cashflow industries.

> But you don't get twice the tech value by doubling your amount of coin owned.

I think holding bitcoin is more of an investment in the underlying technology. If it is useful, presumably the demand will rise for it. It's like owning a stock that has most of its value in its intellectual property. For instance, Disney has a P/E (price earnings ratio) of 38, significantly higher than the typical firm. This is due to Disney's intellectual property. Disney will be able to produce and profit from Marvel movies for years along with their extensive catalog. When an investor buys Disney stock, a big chunk of what they're paying for is the technology (in this case intellectual property)
Bluetooth on desktop OSes has been extremely hit or miss with me.

On Windows, none of my headsets or controllers would automatically connect, most of the time requiring me to pair them manually every time.

On Mac, pairing would generally stay remembered but I'd typically need to manually select the device I want to connect to in the Bluetooth menu.

On Linux, prior to Pipewire, I had to close all of my audio apps to connect Bluetooth headphones. Now with Pipewire, the connection is so "sticky" that I have to turn off Bluetooth on my desktop if I want to use it on any of my other devices, since it always steals the connection.

That is very unfortunate.

I have been looking into Zig since you and a few other people have suggested it. It is looking more promising the more I look into it. It looks like a pretty robust language with an active community.
It was a time where two-way communication were over great distance, very expensive, lack of openness and long delays.

There's a surprising amount of malware out there that still actually captures keyboard input and nothing else. It's easier and more reliable to implement, especially in a malware context, and is usually plenty enough to extract what the operator wants (usually usernames and passwords for online banking). When additional context is collected it's often in the form of window titles. A lot of tools now gather screenshots and even better on-click screenshots, which defeat this type of on-screen keyboard device and is the main reason it's fallen out of use.

And yes, there is malware that collects unencrypted traffic, but that is _appreciably_ more complex to design and implement than simple keylogging. There's also malware which pulls credentials directly out of the web browser memory, although improved protections on cross-process memory access are making this much harder to do on real operating systems. Both of these are better methods, but they are harder and operating systems are intentionally implementing measure to defeat them. For mostly historic reasons straightforward keylogging remains easy and reliable on modern computers.

I’m also very glad that Ive is gone and I think iOS 7 was a disaster that gave up an enormous UI/UX lead.

His value existed solely when his extremes were moderated by someone like Steve Jobs.

When handed the reigns, Ive ran roughshod over what made Apple — and his own work — worthwhile. He prioritized form over function, and ego over empathy.
Once you stop reading HN comments, your opinion of humanity should improve.
Could he have made $850 with that 20k the meantime?
Usability is a sub-discipline of user experience, which is a sub-discipline of... wait for it.. design.

Design, from designare - to mark out, to prepare the plans for, especially to plan the form and structure of

Usability is just one area of emphasis for design. Apple simply included too few elements of usability in their efforts.
Hats off. Great interface and i enjoyed making a few simple beats which is probably a very small part what the system is capable of. Thank you
there are indeed keyloggers that do this, but it wasn't common in the early 2000s when most of these on-screen keyboard setups were implemented.
I thought the various studies in Israel showed pretty dramatic effect at preventing death with mRNA vaccines.

Maybe the headline was mostly clickbait?
But it's not really compatible with the GCC IFUNC scheme ... PTL entries will be permanently remapped to the most appropriate code on the CPU where the function is first called, and never thereafter remapped. So you end up with a coin toss whether you get the optimized function or not.

Personally I don't find the e-cores on my alder lake CPU to be of any value. They're more of a hazard than a benefit.
I agree with you on all points. The Apple Watch is an especially significant universally appealing product for people who can both afford it and a monthly data plan. For me the killer feature is being able to leave my cell phone at home and still get messages, calls, and see email headers. I don't know about the rest of you here, but I struggle a bit separating my human-ness from technology. Not having the temptation of looking at a cell phone when I am running errands and hanging out with friends - but still be in communication - is really good for me. Yeah, if I had more will power and self control then the Apple Watch wouldn't be as valuable to me.
This is a classic "sounds easy but is actually a bit tricky" situation. What if you have 1m LoC and 5k feature flags covering features over a 6-12 month development cycle? What if you have a combination of "serverless" cloud stuff and long-running server apps? What about feature toggles on the client side, or in your GraphQL layer? What if you have applications multiple programming languages? Etc etc.

As with a lot of things in programming, returns to scale actually go negative after a certain size.
The flat design introduced with iOS 7 absolutely has been disastrous for the obviousness of the UI.

Interesting, is it Amazon as in AWS that make heavy use on Python then? If so I'm curious is this for specific areas within AWS? I always imagined AWS to be lots of systems programming languages.
I am 48 and while I still like “programming”, I saw the writing on the wall about four years ago and knew I didn’t want to deal with the leetcode monkey dance shit show that would be required to transition to BigTech from enterprise/corp dev.

I also knew I wanted to make more money. I did a slight pivot. But for all intents and purposes, I’m still a “developer” just with a fancier title.

I’m not sure what to say to this. It’s a perspective that I find difficult to understand. The closest I’ve managed to get is “sometimes people struggle to cope with disappointment and not getting what they want”. The resulting resentment and anger at an entire group… that’s still alien to me. It’s sad to hear about, though, because it seems like the kind of feeling that tears apart a person inside.

As Western social media apps leave Russia, Snap’s Zenly hangs on
Thank you for the general explanation of the state of the art, which makes a lot of sense if one thinks about it.

But it doesn't really refute the kind of snapshot-in-time voodoo that government websites tend to build out and then never change because if doing so were to cause a problem, then someone could get blamed. I've never seen such a UI contraption in the "private" sector of banking. Not that they don't have their own obtuse slow moving corporate bullshit like snake oil "2FA" with varying requirements, it's just less bad.

FWIW related to this topic does anyone know the details of how the IRS website just decides to spit out "Permission Denied" when trying to obtain an EIN? I think it's an Akamai? message, probably due to some user surveillance garbage, but haven't investigated further. Even coming from my own naive residential IP with surveillance-friendly Chromium I still got it. I figured I'd wait a few days and try again, but same thing. It worked fine from a vanilla iPhone on the cell connection, but unfortunately I ended up doing that too late and missed the window to lock in April's rate.
Obvious distortions exist, the ones you noted, plus minimum wage and so forth.

However, discussion to this point notwithstanding, I still believe it's the most exemplary mechanic of supply and demand today.
I'm sorry but all these are pointless waffle that don't serve any purpose or achieve the goal.

For example...

A whole bunch of them are just a longer version of making yourself sound like an utter twat, e.g. "I told you so" vs "As per my prediction, this outcome does not come as a surprise." .... to the listener both equal "you're a twat".

Then a whole bunch of others just open scope for further problems, e.g. "that meeting sounds like a waste of time" -> "waffle...I would be happy to read the minutes" ..... cue colleague coming back to you asking why you have not read the minutes / for your opinion on the minutes.

Finally, as others have commented, it's all very Americanised and would likely not work in "no BS" cultures elsewhere in the world.
The English word, used in the way we picked up from American cultural expression like TV, movies and music. The meaning is the same but the sensitivity to it is different. To us Samuel L Jackson characters are colourful and funny, not rude or abrasive, perhaps that was lost in translation.

Prudential’s Big Tech Bet Went Sour
Thanks! I read the link but not sure how to apply it here, can anyone provide an example for my scenario above?

How do I get a safe evaluation of my solo SaaS? How does my new company buying the SaaS with money or shares work when the company is starting with zero money in it? How much can I look to save/make by doing this and what risk is there of HMRC disagreeing? Is it really stupid to transfer the SaaS without any 'sell' value?

This area seems like a really big deal to me and I can imagine some accountants not doing it correctly.
It should not surprise you that Apple has hubris and strong opinions about how their products should be used. You see this in everything from the design to the features they support (and disable). This certainly existed in the Jobs era and it still exists in the Cook era, and they’re not “design features” in the sense that it’s only about appearance. The allegation of the previous post was that the charging port was purely a design feature rather than a product-experience one. And further that it’s a “botch” rather than an intentional feature that may actually be achieving a useful goal that the post author just doesn’t assign value to. To be a “botch” would imply that people dislike the device and it’s a sales failure.
Given the high bankruptcy rate of newer businesses, I'm not even sure how insurance could be feasible unless the policies cost millions per year. Which is a non-starter obviously.
