> At a certain, relatively early point, that difficulty rapidly exceeds the costs of scroll-and-scanning.

"Relatively early" is an unquantifiable statement, but regardless, that point is very far away from Go's design & generally accepted style, so this statement isn't really relevant to the conversation.

Regardless, scrolling exists by necessity, because some things simply can't fit on a single screen. It's still clearly always better to not scroll than scroll, assuming you aren't packing things in super tightly - I shouldn't have to provide evidence for this, but the fact that people don't just randomly clip text so they can add scrollboxes everywhere should be sufficient.

This is all a distraction from my last statement in my previous comment:

> Seeing context is always better than not seeing context, assuming equal readability. Go's verbosity is both less readable and less dense than that of other, better-designed languages.
Hare is C without macros and with added namespaces. Oh, and tagged unions.

With just that, I'd say it's a win in my book. Not mentioning actual, useful strings.
Well Secret isn't exactly the broader ecosystem, it uses the EVM (as most smart contract platforms do these days) but isn't Ethereum Mainnet. So you'd have to bridge more from there. Of course you could bridge into Ethereum or other chains directly with something like WXMR as well. Everything is getting bridged these days, there's going to be 1000 bridges soon. Users should be aware of the risks!

That said Secret is interesting. Another thing to note though in terms of privacy is that Secret token transactions aren't anonymous afaik, despite the name suggesting otherwise. Only the smart contracts are. It's an interesting design choice, there are probably arguments pro and contra both.

You have to assume this type of bait and switch when companies like Apple, Microsoft and Google have spent so much money on their flagship campuses, that will have to be torn down and rebuilt as they were custom designed by architects in neomodernist styles as proxy corporate peens =/
I fully agree, though this is highly team-specific. I've been on teams where I'm delighted to socialize with my coworkers for an hour most days, but I've also been on teams where I desperately needed 'me' time.
Interesting approach, I'm taking notes!

Something I'm currently doing for my CV application[0] is auto-generating variables for every table/column name in my SQLite DB. As I'm using a dynamically typed language, it's normally easy to mess up with a typo when getting a valuable out of a query result. But when I use the auto-generated variables I'll know I messed up during compile time. That also means my SQLite schema is always my source of truth. Maybe there are better ways to do it, but I find it really useful so far!

Thanks. I agree that Zig is more complex than advertised. By the way, good job on Hare’s documentation, pretty impressive for an early-stage language.
Ely, Nevada, because it has what many consider the best train museum in the world.

My point is that the question is somewhat like asking what the best python library is. Best...for what? Do you have kids? Do you like outdoor activities like hiking or surfing? Do you like seeing musicals? Are you really into train museums?

The technology industry in general is one with some of the most empowered workers in the economy. The incredible imbalance in labour supply-and-demand means that salaries and benefits are sky high, work conditions tend to be quite favourable, and employees have a ton of options in selecting employers that have positive work environments.

And yet there are some who seem to think that tech workers are continuously under attack from heartless corporations looking to maximize profits at all costs, even at the expense of workers.

Absolutely, if you're working in, I dunno, service or manufacturing industries where labour supply is high and anti-union efforts have resulted in a rollback of labour rights, there is every reason to be concerned.

But in tech? I genuinely have no idea where this perception comes from or how it can be justified given the current structure of the labour market.
Considering the landscape of spam, phishing, and malicious actors poking around what's your alternative solution to how firewall rules (and category lists generated and maintained by companies like Palo Alto) are currently applied? The IT side of things has limited tools (and budget) with which to control and secure the internal environment.

IMO there's also a failure of government here to both ensure an open internet and to come down on people abusing the system. A related example might be the phone spam calls everyone in the US gets - it's an administrative, legal, and regulatory problem, not a technical one.

My context may be a bit skewed though since I'm a sysadmin turned cybersecurity and I've seen the large numbers of people clicking on the absolute stupidest things. Given the "average" computer use that IT has to deal with I'm much more sympathetic to their plight.

Yes, of course. But I don't see any circumstances under which returning the carbon in plastics to the atmosphere contributes to that goal.

Youtube has definitely been running sentiment analysis and down ranking any critical comments. Go to any music video and read the comments, it’s like everyone was given a lobotomy.

It’s scary tech censorship. I would take the wild go f yourself days of YouTube comments over this v1 matrix toxic positivity world any day.
They’ve had a TON. But they have zero credibility.
I agree — I find this more exciting and approachable than the name implies!

It’s striking how much sense this makes to me: you interact in social networks like mail servers interact with each other. How did this concept take this long! (I know it’s not NEW new but still… fairly new)

Suddenly, due to the distributed nature, it doesn’t need to be expensive to have your own server to be part of it, like how running a mail server can be cheap. But if you don’t want to care about that, just sign up on an existing server like most do! In either case, it’s cheaper because it’s not centralized and because it’s cheaper it doesn’t need ads for funding and because it doesn’t need ads it doesn’t need to keep distracting you with an ever changing feed and pulling in “suggestions” (read: AI noise)

So, there is really not that much to it!

Like mail servers or chat servers (remember XMPP?), but now social network servers.

And now Mastodon has an official app too, besides an approachable web interface. And thanks to the ActivityPub standard, anyone can write a server, or client app. I think it’s pretty revolutionizing with the voice now put in our hands rather than in a corporation’s.

Definitely deserving of something more fun than “Fediverse” which sounds geeky and alienating.
> I understand it may be more difficult for certain people

If you can understand that, then you should understand that certain people will make rational decisions to minimize their difficulty. Remote work positions are more available now, and such people will likely naturally gravitate towards them. Consequently, non-remote positions will be disproportionally more able-bodied, which is exactly the point of the Apple employee statement.
I meant "wrong" in a moral or philosophical point of view, not in the illegal meaning.
My partner relies completely on navigation assistants, but they didn't exist when I learned to drive, and I never bothered to adopt them. What's funny is that I feel just as stressed out trying to drive with the navigator as my partner does without it! I am so used to having a high-level sense of the route, and knowing the scale of the turns and the roads involved, that I feel confused and disoriented if I try to just blindly follow the directions. I'm not very good at blindly following, either - I can't relate the distances given to a real-world sense of scale, so I frequently miss turns. Really funny how different the mental strategies used to solve the same problem can be.

I replayed Secret of Monkey Island this weekend and was really struck by what a ramshackle, distorted place Melee Island is. It is an accurate cartoon caricature of slapdash architecture on sinking ground.

Here's the very first place Guybrush is controllable in:

Lots of straight lines, but no two buildings are in the same perspective. It's cartoon cubism, filtered through a 640x480 grid. Maurice Noble's work with Chuck Jones looms large over the backgrounds but so does the realities of what cheap shacks slapped together by pirates on constantly-sinking ground would look like.

I suspect the "Chuck Jones" art style of DOTT he's referring to is the character design. Which was so Jones-influenced that I recall hearing that when Lucasfilm had a chance to show it to Chuck, he did the most flattering thing possible: he tried to hire the animators to work at the new studio he was opening up.
Lessons learned from the CBRS spectrum experiment
> isn't this something that certificate transparency should help solve?

No. CT is meant to help find illegitimate server certificate issuance by participating CAs, but it cannot help the user-agent get past illegitimate server certs.

Besides, the whole point here is to make the user-agent fail to load the page, therefore the network operator's firewall's CA would not participate in CT (nor be a CAB member), and the network operator does not just not mind that the illegitimate server certificate is noticed, they want it noticed.
> She became increasingly alarmed when she saw, from her seat three rows back, that the veins in Brown's neck were bulging.

The bulging neck veins here would have been concerning for jugular venous distension, which occurs when the right side of the heart can’t empty properly (so blood backs up in the venous circulation), in this case because of an increased pressure in the pulmonary circulation caused by the pulmonary embolism.
To be fair, I put down the money knowing that I might lose it and not receive anything. I ordered mine at the start of 2019, I do not have my hopes up.

Companies being paranoid about "losing control of employees" seems overblown. People (at these tech cos anyway) (on average) are very responsible as individuals and motivated to work and grow their careers.

It not obvious what carrot or stick motivates people to deliver. But there has to be a way to achieve what the team|org|company wants even with remote workers. As a company - clearly specify and quantify goals, regularly share metrics of progress, provide better tools for working and focus on the long-term.
The one important use of the UA string is being able to tell whether it's a computer or a mobile device, to use different templates to render your pages. The new "client hints" botched that because while yes, there is "CH-UA-Mobile" that gives you a straight yes/no answer with no guesswork involved, you have to ask for it first — you can't get it on the first request, which very much defeats its purpose.

And don't suggest me to use the same markup for both desktop and mobile with adaptive styles. More often than not this ends up being equally terrible on both kinds of devices.
You're still welcome to ping people on Slack during lunch and see how they like that. More often than not though, I think you'll find that they're going to respond to you once they're back on the clock. It's fine if you're a friendly person, but I think you underestimate how much social pressure is involved in talking to people during their lunch break. The only reason I really engage in conversation while eating lunch is because the alternative of "I'd rather just enjoy my food and save the work talk for work time" is a faux pas.
Partly, yes. I left that company and started my own. That's brought its own set of troubles, but it has at least given me a chance to regain my love for programming.

Looking back, I did really enjoy trying to fix the organisational issues that caused my burnout. So I was going through this constant cycle of

- Get frustrated by something when programming
- Realise there's an issue in process / workflow
- Get excited to fix that issue
- Come up with an idea
- Get shut down because I'm not paid enough to have those kinds of ideas
- Go back to programming, even more frustrated

I've since realised that I actually never fit the developer role in a company that well. I was good at it, but always got drawn towards creating tooling, CI pipelines, running the retros - the meta-changes and process improvements. In previous jobs that was fine because they were a lot more agile. There wasn't as much that needed fixing, and they were happy to let me fix the issues that did exist.

I felt no meaning to my work because I was motivated by improving things, whether they were in my job description or not. I could have a minimal impact by writing some code, or a huge impact by helping everyone else write code more efficiently, but I wasn't allowed to do the latter.

Anyway yeah long story short I'm currently pivoting my career towards the managerial/coaching/processes side. Something like "Software Development Coach" rather than just "Software Developer". I'm excited for the future again, and excited to help other people that are dealing with similar issues :)

Managers have a place, but business owners need to realise that they are an expensive and inefficient solution, and should only be deployed as a last resort.
Ironically, they're talking about American style "chips". I know, I assumed otherwise too.
Uranium 235 can decay by splitting into two smaller nuclei and releasing some free neutrons. Frequently those smaller nuclei are themselves radioactive. Uranium has a very long half life, on the order of billions of years, so the natural rate of decay is very low. This makes it relatively safe, since there is not too much radiation produced per second. Many of the product nuclei that can be formed have a much shorter half life. So they emit more radiation, though on the plus side they don't last as long. In nature, these smaller nuclei are still formed, but at a very low rate. In a nuclear reactor, the uranium is bombarded with a large number of neutrons, and it has a chance of splitting whenever a neutron hits it. So there's a high rate of decay, and as a result, once the fuel has been in the reactor for a while, it contains a large amount of those fission products. That's what makes the waste more dangerous: it has isotopes in it that decay faster and therefore emit more radiation per second than pure uranium.
That's besides the point parent tried to make.
So, Hy allows "to freely mix imperative, functional, and object-oriented styles of programming."

I wonder: 1/ Shall we mix multiple paradigms of programming in the same project? 2/ Should we adopt a single programming language that supports multiple programming paradigms and utilise single paradigm for each given project, for the sake of minimizing the skill set required to the development team and – not necessarily –the learning curve?
It's called "invisible reweaving" in the US. It used to be a routine service offered by dry cleaners, and a few places still offer it. Clothing is so cheap today it's rarely worth the trouble.
>and a supermajority of Americans believe that the choice should be between patient and doctor.

If you asked Americans how many support abortion at 39 weeks, how big do you think that percentage would really be? I would guess single digits. So then that means we have to draw the line somewhere (12 weeks? 24 weeks? Somewhere else?), which means most people actually do support some form of abortion regulation, does it not?
I've never gotten burned out because I had a lot of work to do. Those are the good times.

Mostly I've gotten burned out because I couldn't bring myself to care and because I was bored.
Spend less. Earn more. Invest the difference.

"Earn more" sounds callous, but it is actually advice. You aren't stuck in the same job/career forever. Look for ways to move up. Some of them will take work and time to develop. Take the time and do the work.
The "cut back on spending" type suggestions are part of the solution, but can also sound a little condescending to people who are truly poor. As if money just appears in your bank account if you can only muster the right amount of will power? Should you give up eating? Find an abandoned house to squat in? If you can only save $50 a month, how long does it take for you to save up for college, a working car, or a more stable place to live?
Also, the fact that all of these partners are depicted on the edge/fringe, with a big gap in the center, might be a little too accurate.
This project compliments the stage0 project (featured on the HN front page earlier today) which builds a C compiler using an assembler that is bootstrapped from hex. However, those bootstraps require an existing kernel. You are required to provide your own. I decided, as a challenge, to build a tiny purpose-built x86 32-bit kernel which can run the stage0-posix shells and compilers all the way
to the M2-Planet compiler, which is a subset of C. I learned (after starting) that they plan on writing a bootstrap kernel themselves, so I hope this helps in some way. It took three months of very tedious and error-prone work because I avoided, on principle, using an assembler except to check the encoding of individual opcodes. (All jump offsets were hand calculated.) Please see github.com/ironmeld/builder-hex0 for it's history.
Is there a reason this device is special? imo their larger eReaders are more interesting.
Even more than that. Most of the Silicon Valley employees of Apple do not work in either the Spaceship or any of the Infinite Loop locations. There are dozens of buildings around Cupertino and Sunnyvale (many quite large) that house Apple employees. If you just drive down Deanza Blvd you will see Apple sign after Apple sign pointing out those builds (and that is just one street).
I'm sorry, but am I misunderstanding something or do you think the alt-right had the power in California to pass draconian laws on their own. These draconian laws were passed by the same people that run the state now.
I use a client, so have a local IMAP backup, and regularly back this up to my NAS.

That's not really my worry, though. What scares me about being heavily invested in blah@gmail.com or blah@notmydomain.com is lockout from services. As long as I have my own domain then I can just switch out the DNS and I'll still be able to get into whatever web service I signed up to using my email address.
Hi senior engineer here, I enjoy being with my co-workers and you can definitely make people understand you need your time in an office setting. This sounds like a communication issue that a lot of devs have but that's squarely our failing not other people in our orgs.
