I don't know how old the author is, but past 50 I've never felt more
enthusiastic, optimistic and excited by tech.

Things are so spectacularly f-cked-up that there's almost nowhere to
look without seeing massive opportunities for improvement.

Things will either get better, which gives me hope and many openings
to contribute, or they'll keep getting more broken, and I'll be
thoroughly entertained while I stuff my face with popcorn.

Either way, it's great to live in "interesting times".

I'm at 2.8x and no sir, I don't like it. At least I got 2.75% on my mortgage. Though I have a feeling we're heading back to 2008ish levels of job insecurity so maybe I'll end up homeless after all.
"...he described scientists and mathematicians as the most dangerous people on the planet, because they carelessly put destructive technological power in the hands of politicians."

This is indeed true. There's another side however, in that scientists and mathematicians have also put creative technological power in the hands of ordinary people. Perhaps a more nuanced view is that authoritarian states controlled by politicians are the most dangerous systems of all.

I do that somewhat often, for sites that don't reveal shipping charges and other components of the "final price" until the end. Sometimes at that point I'll change my mind. Never been charged, fortunately, but I have worried about the possibility.

Part of me wonders if this could be an intentional strategy at big orgs.

Step 1: Organization holds endless multi-hour meetings about intractable organizational issues.

Step 2: Stakeholders go to a bar to drink heavily and commissarate.

Step 3: Uninhibited stakeholders decide on a way to ignore the inscrutable organizational issues and Just Do It.

Step 4: Organization pats itself on the back for another successful round of all-day meetings.

Sort of a variation on the classic "beatings will continue until morale improves" strategy.
That tweet is a job advertisement. It's an advertisement for a job.
Putting it in these terms, what I'm trying to say is something like:

geography → economy → old empire

geography → economy → current day politics

The biggest caveat to this is that the importance of geography is conditioned by technology, and technology changes over time. So a more detailed model could be something like:

geography + current tech → agriculture/commerce/industry/military → economy/culture → politics

See how the dominant powers changed with the shift from bronze to iron or with the development of open ocean navigation.

Basically yeah.
Traveling around the Balkans, the old political divisions are absolutely striking.

The longer the rule of the Ottoman empire, the less developed the region tends to be. With the exception of Istanbul proper, of course, it was the main beneficiary of all the plunder.

Edit: I am writing this from a vacation in Slovenia, which is basically a Slavic-speaking Austria, with the exceptions of cities like Koper and Piran, which look like a Slavic-speaking Italy.
i think thats a false equivalency. First of all I see them as people, I just see them as people who dont care about my personhood. Second of all, my value judgement of the right is based on the actions they take against my personhood, whereas their value judgement of me is based on.... who I am? who I love? the clothes I wear?
> Many companies posted record growth and profits over the pandemic, but still give out paltry 3-5% raises every year.

A few disconnected points:

As we're seeing, some of that growth was temporary. Between inflation and growth, record profits is expected from any company not in decline. Allocating profits from growth to more growth is a reasonable choice. There's no reason for wages to track profits. Wages are driven by the labor market; profits just act as a wage ceiling.

Ask HN: Waking up after a Tech-Coma. What to do?
I mostly program on the side and basically every eight years or so I find the tech I comfortably use out-of-date. I 'surface' to find a completely new world of platforms and technology and try to pick a new one to learn. The advice I get is mostly based on big commercial projects and the latest fancy tech.

Current example:
Web: I use AngularJS and can very quickly achieve what I want. I love its capability to run without a server from a local file. I cannot stand node.

Migration Decision: So far I believe I will migrate to Vue.js.

App & Server: I use Google App Engine Standard, but the tools are getting worse and worse. I work on a shared Java codebase with Android Java, APIs on Cloud Endpoints work instantly. Google now pushes Kotlin on the app, I missed platform changes for 4 years.

Migration Decision: I am ready to abandon it all and go Flutter on the clients and Spring Boot on App Engine as the server. Or is that a good idea? Flutter is moving too fast. Whatever I do will likely be out of date in a year....

And there are many other platforms (Firebase Realtime, Firebase Auth, SQL server) that have had iterations, were acquired and have had so many iterations it's impossible to catch up 'after a tech coma'.

Anyone have a good idea how to deal with this? It's almost as if you review and update detailed Architecture Decision Records....

Yup. I've often seen Chesterson's Fence trotted out as an argument to never change anything. Or at least place onerous burden of proof on the new change to prove itself.

However, some times the circumstances that gave rise to the fence are gone! You still need to do the work to show that this is true, or at least some best effort. But if after a cursory check there is no compelling reason, retorting "ah but there may still be some use, go search the wisdom of the ancients further" is a terrible response. That is how you calcify debt and become unable to adapt to changing circumstances.

There is a balance between preserving out of an abundance of caution and tearing it all down because it was inconvenient or "new is better."

We already have plenty of innate status quo bias. We don't need to heap more on top without good reason.

I was the same way. Interviews were very intimidating. Imposter syndrome didn't help. It took time for me to figure out the power dynamic in this process, and to learn that, as a candidate, I have more power than I previously assumed.

And the crazy thing is, knowing that power dynamic means you can, likely, command more compensation.
Does anyone remember when we had Net Neutrality?
At my first job, I was young, maybe 21 we had a guy come in for an interview. I was not even on the interview panel but the guy had a funny mustache and the person running the interview started bringing random people in to ask him questions but also to low key laugh at his mustache. The company itself was a clown show and management treated employees like garbage so I guess it was the sort of culture that was encouraged. I did not really think about it at the time as I was young and oblivious but now that I am older I occasionally think back to that and feel bad for the interviewee and really regret allowing myself to be involved in that.
Remember when tech companies did one thing and one thing well?
I might join a union of all software engineers in order to help junior engineers keep from getting completely burned out or horribly exploited, but I wouldn't join a union of elite FAANG engineers. I'm pretty sure the $250-$500k we can command is the most we can reasonably expect companies to be able to pay, since there's a ton of competition among them to hire us already

Otherwise, someone would've collected some VC money, hired the best of the best code monkeys for $1M+ each, and taken over some tech niche by now
The problem with your comments isn't "narrative", just that they're shallow and sensational. We're trying to avoid that sort of discussion here. On HN, we want curious conversation. In order to have that, comments need to be more thoughtful. If you read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, you'll get the idea.

I think you'll find that there's room for many views to be expressed on HN as long as they follow the site guidelines. We have guidelines/rules because this is a specific sort of website: we're trying to be one kind of forum and not another. You can call that 'censorship' if you like, but from my perspective that's a bit of a stretch—it's not really 'censorship' that, when playing chess, you're not allowed to tackle the bishop. It's just that chess and football are different games.

Composting in the yard, if done correctly, is aerobic. In a landfill it will be anaerobic, generating more methane.
There are many issues here. First is all the crypto that coinbase must hold in order to facilitate trades. If they do not have the inventory, they must source elsewhere. Second is customer funds (cash) which is what they need to facilitate a fiat exchange for crypto for their markets. I'm not exactly sure how their operations work but in a regular stock brokerage, these are segregated from their own cash although in 2010 an incident was shown that even segregated customer funds are not so segregated.

The risk here is always the same. Liquidity in terms of cash. I dont believe there is any regulation stopping coinbase from using or investing customer cash
or anything preventing them from acting as a hedgefund (leveraging that cash) to make investments using customer funds. The real risk is there. If they are using crypto as collateral to make investments that are tanking in value, while crypto is tanking in value, they'll be forced to post more collateral in the form of cash or be forced liquidated to take a loss. Insolvency leads to bankrupcy.

i don't use twitter that much so i don't know if this type of multi-tweet message is common place on the platform or not. especially for conveying important information in any sort of manner that should be taken seriously.

i recently experienced a ~20 tweet "story" that was explaining a pretty serious and important shift in the posting parties operations. it was the first time i recall ever having encountered this sort of "tweet" and, at least to me, it did not seem like an ideal or effective means of communication.

i get that they want to reach their audience and that's what i feel like twitter is good, well, probably the best at. the whole intent of the platform had always been geared toward sending short, articulate messages. a substance-filled, important message like this one and the one i had to read before no doubt took a few "practice runs in the mirror", so to speak. i read both of these messages from the comfort of my desktop PC using nitter. as difficult as that was, i can't imagine having view it using a phone.

regardless of the topic of the message, my thoughts are, if you have something to say, say it in a single tweet with a link to an officially hosted post or webpage. any more than that, especially on any sort of usual basis, is not only inconvenient for both parties involved, but confusing, unprofessional, and, in a lot of cases, like you said, quite off-putting.

Is that the only way? What if we grow grains that need 50% less water? This article is mind numbingly preachy and ignores that technology can and always has been at the forefront of human progress. Yes, if we wake up one day in 30 years and find that we have made 0 technological progress then we will need 50% more grain.

The only potential benefit there was for security, specifically because of your security-based product and the async nature of its processing. And even that was just relying on the ephemeral nature of lambdas instead of other security constructs or simply resetting instances of a monolith to accomplish exactly the same thing.

> So, yeah having a relationship with a lawyer in the same way you have a favorite dentist is worth it.

> costs me 375 usd an hour

> budget a small percentage of your income on this every year

What you are saying is that for those with enough disposable income to throw 375 per hour at minor annoyances, going straight to that nuclear option is often preferable to settling for a cheaper secondary or backup option. This is the "simply buy Twitter if the way it's run annoys you so much" of legal advice.

This doesn't apply to 99.999% of people on this planet. It is "worth it" in the sense that $800 / oz gold plated caviar is better food than McDonalds. If the median American decided to "find out if [your] lawyer is any good" by hiring them for a 1 hour task, they have already spent more than 1% of their yearly income. In a single hour.

> As I understand it, billions of people wouldn't be using the API; a few compiler authors would.

Yes, but billions of people may suffer the consequences of the WASM design doing something stupid and then the few compiler authors having to semi-successfully deal with it. That may be stressing, assuming that you care about such things as your brain child being an improvement (not a regression) on what came before.

England and France in 1154 are practically different nations with very different cultures compared to England and France in 2022, not to mention nine centuries' worth of evolving relations between those two.

Any pattern can resemble each other when they are approximated on large enough scales because then all differences would be wiped out. Geopolitical boundaries do often survive in some forms throughout history, as we can see some resemblances of the divisions in Medieval France vs. modern French departments. However this is the product of mainly geographical divisions (terrain such as rivers, mountains, plateaus, etc.) and in Brittany's case, an ethnic culture historically unique relative to the rest of France.
No, but medical bills in the US can essentially be unbounded if insurance denies your claim. You pay 12k in insurance. That doesn’t mean you don’t pay anything beyond that number. People literally sock away millions of dollars for elderly care with the expectation that they won’t leave a dime to their kids.

I really don't like these "favorite x" questions. Aren't interviewers just asking something like "tell me about a language you use and why it's relevant to this interview"? Why not ask questions more directly?

I saw on reddit recently (some database related subreddit) someone say "tell me your favorite type of join" as their favorite interview question.

My interview for my current role started with a mild disagreement about some aspects of the structure of the interview that caught me off guard - so I thought I had no chance.... :-)
> I frequently ask at least one or two questions that I really don't expect anybody to know the answer to.

Just to expand on this: It seems really optimal, in terms of extracting information, if the candidate can answer about half the questions (maximal entropy, if you will).

If the questions are too easy and the candidate nails them all, you're wasting time. If the questions are too hard and the candidate fails them all, you're wasting time. You want to quickly get to the limit of the candidate's knowledge, and spend some time there.

This is particularly true if you aim to cover several areas of interest quickly.
I got a Lytro ILLUM to test before they began selling it in Spain years ago. Seemed like an interesting toy, specially the depth map that was unusual for that time (now there are cellphones capturing depth maps with different techniques).

If I check my NAS there's the dump of the SD card I used that day, but I wouldn't know how to open those files or process them, as I guess the software is not available anymore and I don't know if anybody has hacked the file format.
I'm going to get a few details wrong, but mutual funds and ETFs go to creative legal efforts to prevent this. Funds are usually independent entities that pay the fund house for management and marketing services. If the fund house goes under, it doesn't hold the assets in its funds, so fundholders aren't screwed.
