> Anyone who wants access to Apple's base of high-value mobile users.

This high-value user is getting increasingly tired of Apple's shit and is actively looking for an alternative. Their stewardship of the App Store is increasingly abysmal. Their promotion of subscription pricing over other business models is anti-consumer. And "it just works" is increasingly a punchline (try using Time Machine in 2022).

Apple still has two advantages though: excellent hardware and a focus on privacy. The former was at-risk in the 2016-2020 keyboard era, but they have course-corrected somewhat. The latter seems increasingly at risk with moves like the recent CSAM kerfuffle.

Apple's once small but excellent stable of third party software has grown increasingly unpalatable. There are many more apps, sure, but when it seems like 9/10 are either outright scams or subscription services for things as simple as calculators and notes apps it's hard for me to look at their marketplace with anything other than disgust.

>it wouldn't make sense to talk about its pressure -

If I have a pressure gauge that reads the same thing regardless of my knowledge how is pressure meaningless? The tool that reads pressure gives me an accurate pressure number regardless of what I know or don't know. This number is correct.

Your argument is basically saying that the pressure gauge becomes wrong once you have more knowledge of the system. No it doesn't. The pressure gauge is still giving you a number defined as "pressure."

The gas in that cylinder is at a specific microstate within the macrostate defined as pressure.

I've said as much on other threads. Employers are playing a longer game, and thinking about the salaries of the person who replaces you. So go ahead, move to Colombia but save up.

When there's zero friction and in fact a couple years successful track record involved in managing W2 staff in any country, the salary for new hires will reflect that.

No company will ignore this, because the potential savings are just monumental and there is no stigma attached.
I disagree with all the points in the article with the exception of lifetimes which i do find cumbersome at times due to the way they have to be propagated which makes refactoring to references awkward.

I think the larger standard library of a language like Go is appealing but Rust is a community effort and doesn't have Google scale resources to maintain a large standard library.

I particularly abhor Go style uppercase for public visibility and much prefer Rust's explicit syntax. In addition, i find Rust's module system very enjoyable and prefer it to any other language i have used once i got familiar with it.

I've done some work-cation. Like instead of 1week off I'll take 2 and work the second. If I'm in a different time zone, I've felt even more productive. Work with out distraction for a few hours show up for a meeting or answer slack when people start working. My mood might even be better because I'm doing something cool on vacation before or after work.

Snap is nearly its IPO price. SNAP's last quarter revenue was down from 4 straight quarters of growth.

FB, NVDA, AMD, AMZN, GM, GOOGL, etc. are all up orders of magnitude from IPO.

It's a fair argument to say that the market is being corrected, and that SNAP is not on a trajectory similar to it's peers (FB, TWTR).

> You are literally arguing in favor of the idea that “it’s ok to discriminate against anyone who isn’t protected”.

No, I’m literally not.

In fact, I’m pointing out that even in law (in the US Constitutional system) it is expressly not unconditionally the case for government, as all government discrimination must pass the rational basis test.

For private parties, discrimination is presumptively legal (aside from protected classes applicable to certain private activities), because (at least, this is one way of looking at it) there is no limited set of “proper purposes” private individuals may pursue, therefore the private equivalent of the rational basis test would be a nullity. It can’t all be improper, because pretty much all substantive decision-making involves some form of discrimination. Choosing to buy Coke vs. Pepsi is private discrimination on some basis. As to when particular legal private discrimination is proper, people will have all sorts of opinions. When there is sufficient consensus that a particular kind of discrimination is sufficiently bad in a particular domain to warrant public intervention (ideally, in democratic principal, though of course real government doesn’t necessarily quite follow the ideal), it will become a protected class.

Is “lookism”, but for when attractiveness is a bona fide job qualification, something that should be treated as a basis protected against discrimination in hiring? Maybe, maybe not.

Should we go farther, and establish that in private industry, as is the case in much government employment, we go beyond the concept of protected classes (without also protecting those) and create a legal requirement that hiring and promotion, etc., is done strictly on bases grounded in documented job requirements and duties, with a legal right to challenge and overturn any such decision for failing that even if no protected class discrimination is involved?

Or, perhaps, falling short of a legal mandate, should we expect private employers to adopt that as their own rule, with a private (but suitably independent of management) appeal forum?

Or is the point just to grouse about “discrimination”?
Interesting. The cost of free() could be an advantage for Java in some situations because it can GC without pauses in a separate thread.
This makes sense, to a degree. But at the extreme, the speaker should absolutely take care to avoid being overbearing, condescending, patronizing, etc. Many delusional people think, "I am saying/doing this for YOUR own good", so simply believing that you have the other person's interest is not enough.

Or rather, in order to TRULY have someone else's interest in mind, you have to incorporate things like condescension as in-scope requirements for your communication. Otherwise, even good advice delivered in a straightforward but condescending manner, won't get through (which means, the person won't benefit, which means you the speaker failed to achieve the thing that would help advance their interest due to your poor communication).
Slightly tangential to this post, but related to the series.

Have you had any pushback from the sources you've been scraping with actions? I can't imagine how lightly hitting GitHub from this action is a problem, but a few of the other scrapers you've discussed are hitting resources in ways we've definitely seen website operators get upset about before.

I ask because I've been playing with a couple of scrapers for info I'm interested in, but I'm a little reluctant to toggle the repo visibility switch. Partly, because I don't want the grief and selfishly because I don't want the source to disappear.

"After all - remote but stuck in one time zone for working hours isn’t really a huge win. It’s dangling a carrot."

that's a pretty realistic approach in my opinion. My company has people in India and Europe and it sucks royally to set up meetings with them. Either they have to work at night or the US people have to. If I had to decide, I would mandate at least a 4 hour overlap in working times.
> When checking references for a job applicant, employers may be reluctant or prohibited from saying anything negative, so leave or send a message that says, “Get back to me if you highly recommend this applicant as super great.” If they don’t reply take that as a negative.

Big disagree here, that's not fair at all to the applicant. Some people are just terrible referees and it's hard to know that as the applicant until someone lets you down. Some people mean to reply but forget, some people are too busy to answer and don't get back to you, some people just don't want to even though they think you'd be an excellent candidate. On top of that, with people moving around so much it can be hard to nail down recent contact details.

If somewhere I'm applying to work can't get a hold of someone, I'd very much expect them to reach back out to me in order to resolve the issue, if they can't do me that courtesy then I guess I'll be working somewhere else.
https://maya.land/blogroll.opml is also one the best examples I've seen.
I think even that is probably an over-estimation. I suspect most folks can work productively (as in, being intensely focused on an activity) only for 2-4 hours a day, and the rest of the time is just "fluff" (which may or may not be necessary for staying productive). From that perspective, regular 9-5 in an office really "steals" our time, because we can't use it on more productive things.
Certainly people will continue to enjoy living in specific cities and near to things. I don't dispute that. I dispute that real estate will rise in real terms nationally.

Now that the constraint of working in a specific location is gone, yes, people will migrate to areas for desirability of living, not because they're forced to for work. However, price is an aspect of desirability. It's very hard to imagine how the Bay Area could maintain residential real estate pricing if all big tech went full remote. People like SF, but not enough to pay such a spread over arguably equivalently nice places that are much cheaper.

So yes, HCOL -> LCOL drives LCOL to be more expensive.

Also the reason cities existed in the past was because people needed to gather together to work/exchange goods. With remote work/internet that goes away, aside from education/leisure.

You seem to be implying Amsterdam exists because people like it, and not because it was a job center. I can assure you there were very few people hundreds of years ago picking cities primarily for leisure. The need to densify/build vertically lessens when there's no concentration of a downtown for work.

I'm kinda of curious how this works if you are remote:

"Most of you should expect to gather in person every quarter for about a week at a time. Some roles, especially senior roles, will be expected to gather more often. We’ll do our best to define windows when most large team off-sites will occur and give you plenty of notice so you can make it work with personal and family plans."

Is this like just plan to be in the SF office during normal 9-5 work hours for a week every 13 weeks or is this like plan on a week long 24-7 corporate retreat away from your family every 13 weeks.

If its the former, then that seems sort of like hybrid work just 1 week per 13 week versus 2-3 day per 5 day where you should probably stick to within 1-2 hour commute of your local AirBNB office.

If its the latter then that seems like it might be a non-starter for people with families.
I am happy for you if you can play a FAANG salary against another offer, and many on HN can, but for the vast majority of tech employees _and_ employers, those numbers are nothing like a baseline.
Even docker desktop runs the same way i.e they are running docker on a linux VM. It's hidden from the user but that linux VM can be accessed.

For improving performance, you can enable some of the newer experimental features in latest docker (Virtualization Framework and VirtioFS). The combination works really well except for databases [1] due to the way FS sync is handled. To fix that a setting need to be changed in the linux VM that docker uses. [2]. Hopefully docker will make that a default setting in the future.

Just how high class of job do you think commercial airline pilot is, exactly?
Porn provides a counterfeit of love and human intimacy. Love is designed to give you joy and pleasure but also to elevate you and make you better through working to improve a relationship by making your partner happy. To have someone to serve while also being served in turn as you sacrifice together to work for mutual goals.
While also providing posterity, which also adds to your happiness as well as require fulfilling work.

Porn provides an illusion of love with no work and no lasting happiness or satisfaction. It's highly addictive. It harms everyone involved, you and especially the women. Turning them into objects instead of people with needs that are being violated by being remotely consumed by the viewers. Making you less capable of true love by rewiring your brain to expect the counterfeit.

You can't really get a marriage to blossom while addicted to porn, you just can't.

Men can build women up or take from them (even remotely) and by doing so tear them down. Women don't like being objectified.
The thing to do with those large concerns is to post something interesting about them in their own right—not change a different thread to that subject. If they're as important as you say, there must be plenty of interesting things to discuss.

If this unit is shown to be durable, I imagine it's the kind of thing a lifeboat would have as part of its equipment. Low power means low volume of drinkable water (as energy is needed to separate ions from seawater, by the laws of entropy), so that's really unavoidable with this system.

Literally nobody is productive for 9 hours straight. You end up doing low-value make-work projects because in a culture that values "time in seat" the work expands to fill the available time.

> In the meantime, we build out the renewable generating capacity.

We're already dipping into times of negative electric power cost in places with high renewable penetration... and a whole lot of the rest of the day where storage is needed, and a whole lot of usages that are not electric yet which will increase demand.

Yes, more renewable build out is necessary and helpful. But it won't get us low enough in carbon intensity soon enough alone.
Yes, it is redirect on write.
> ... from a programmer's perspective, I would love to see a mix of compile-time lifetime analysis, Automatic Reference Counting (like in the lobster programming language), and manual memory management (marked as unsafe) for when extreme performance is needed.

Surprisingly, such a thing is actually possible. We can use borrow-checker-like static analysis layered on top of shared mutability (such as RC). It involves selectively making certain sub-graphs ("regions") immutable, thus getting the borrow checker's zero-cost memory safety, without the architectural restrictions the borrow checker normally imposes.

The core insight is that a borrow checker doesn't need every object to be completely affine, all it needs is some notion of what objects are reachable from what others.

This has recently been prototyped in the research languages from Forty2 ("capsules") [0] and from Milano, Turcotti, Myers [1].

Pony's "iso" [2] has shown that it can work remarkably well in production, and Vale [3] is making it work with single ownership.

In my (biased!) opinion, it's one of the most promising areas in language research. If we can get the speed and safety benefits of Rust while being more ergonomic and intuitive, I'd consider that a big step forward for the field. An exciting time to be in language design!

> I definitely saw people calling that they are going to work from home, but saw very little work to be done that day. Which probably means that people used that as excuse, as they had some business to do outside work, and they did not want to take PTO.

Remote manager here. This is definitely a huge problem with people new to remote work.

I actually don't care at all if people are doing something else during the day and getting their work done at night or whatever they want to do. However, a significant number of people really struggle to get work done at all when they first go remote and lack a repeatable schedule and the feeling of social pressure to be working like their peers. It takes a lot of coaching and mentoring to get these people back on track with their remote-ready peers.

Many other people have no problems working remote, though. IMO, the key to success of a remote team is to coach and mentor all new remote workers very intensely in the first months or year, but then also to be willing to remove people from the team if they just can't get work done remotely. You absolutely don't want a few bad apples to ruin remote work for everyone else.
> When you are stuck, explain your problem to others. Often simply laying out a problem will present a solution.

This is true, except the to others part isn't really necessary. It works just as well if you try to reformulate the problem for yourself.

Many times, just trying to think of a good way to ask something on StackOverflow priduces a solution.

It even works when trying to write a good search query on Google.
The issue is that the REALITY was the plane was going very nose up at low speed. That is THE situation that gets you into a stall / spin situation.

Close to the ground in the pattern most folks in the US are taught to be very careful about this. Ie, when you are low and slow, don't go for a big pitch up or a steep bank. There isn't time to recover.

That said, I've got NO clue about 777's, so maybe a 25 degree pitch up on takeoff / go around is normal. Hard to imagine aerodynamically that working.
