I'm not sure we're disagreeing here? As I understand it, some people have a certain kind of distractable brain and there's an underlying brain chemistry implicated here which isn't something you develop in adulthood.

However, having this brain chemistry doesn't necessarily mean a person suffers impairments in daily life: impairments are highly situational.

I suppose - to the extent that the DSM-5 requires a fair level of impariment for someone to be diagnosed with ADHD - that it's technically correct to say people can develop this in adulthood: there it passes from a syndrome to an disorder. (Personally I feel it's kind of absurd not to have a name for the syndrome if it occurs in the absence of impariment due to life circumstances! Perhaps this will be "fixed" one day as psychology slowly becomes more quantitative.)

Thanks for the book suggestion!

“Surprise and delight” is just the PR line, the point is having more control over the marketing and positioning of a product on launch. We could debate whether that’s worth the R&D inefficiency, but Apple hasn’t exactly failed by deferring to their marketing folks over the years.
I don't know, isn't this kind of demonstrating a chain saw by chopping up a carrot, seems like it would be somewhat easier for the presenter since they don't need to get an actual log, but at the expense of really misleading the audience.

Front-running means a very specific thing: a broker/dealer trading ahead of a client order they are supposed to honestly facilitate. It is rightly illegal.

Trading fast based on "slightly obfuscated" public domain information is categorically not any kind of front-running. It is as far as I can see just a pure execution arbitrage.
Can you elaborate? I hear this line of thinking a lot, but never explained fully. In particular, what about being in same office helps with unproductive ICs? E. G. you mention tickets - it's not by being in the office that I will notice tickets aging or not being tackled efficiently. Fully recognizing the slacking instinct, I don't see being in office addressing it effectively. You don't stare at any given person's screen 8hrs a day.

(other issues such as social and emotional preferences are also valid but I feel separate and may hash out either way).
It’s not just about their ambitions but also about their ability. It seems so far that they are barely capable of winning against a much smaller force.
If you’re a backend dev, with solid HTML/CSS and HTTP/REST fundamentals then I recommend you default to using htmx plus server side templates for HTML rendering and interactivity, plus a well documented, simple CSS framework that gives you out of the box components like bootstrap/bulma/semantic.

React/web components etc. is when you need advanced/bespoke UI widgets. If you can afford KISS then they only introduce complexity and cost.

I had great experiences with DayZ when it was still an Arma mod. The standalone was very disappointing. On the other hand, the dev of the original mod was the lead on the standalone (for a while) so buying it made me feel like I was contributing more directly to him.

Part of the reason I liked the mod so much was because of how unpolished it felt, the ui sort of stapled on top of the Arma ui, everything a little janky and you're plunged into a hostile zombie world. Funny how something unpolished can feel more appropriate.
> Given the longevity and frequent re-evolution of Feudal systems throughout history it's worth considering whether Feudalism is the default economic system.

Why do we have laws that punish robbery and murder? Because it may be the easiest path to solve a perceived urgent need (and it comes at the expense of others). It takes much more self-control and effort to "pull oneself by the bootstraps".

So, at least some forms of advancing one's position while harming others' is codified in most laws. These laws protect what we, as a society, consider valuable. Like property, and not being murdered.

So, too, is Feudalism a quick and easy fix to maintain the status quo of leadership, but it comes in a way that harms society.

I myself am a "single source for authentication/authorization" and i dont think it is stupid at all.

It is just hard to tell it to a machine. So i am ok to use a token for that.

The trouble for me are the instances, that want to certify, that i am me. I dont need them, but they are there. The middleman, who wants to have a say, to allow or deny.

I have no problem to tell a token, that it is me. I am pretty happy to self-certify myself.

if you have a large enough sum of money (i.e., $50m USD ) you can stay invested all the time and withdraw a small sum of money each year like $300k

With $50m if your portfolio averages 4% a year you would be clearing $2m then pulling out $300k for 1.7 gain. You only pay tax on the income withdrawn
> Why is it (typically) not a problem is Europe?

Unions are bad in France. There is a strike every other day + they are far from being fair rather than being greedy. So Europe is not an exception here. Here is a recent strike in Germany: https://www.dw.com/en/germany-security-workers-go-on-strike-...

Unions can be good if you have two rational parties negotiating reasonably. A greedy employer, and an unreasonable/powerful union and you suddenly unleash hell.

> And why is a union leader who abuses the power not removed from that position? It's not benefiting the union members.

He is benefiting the members in the short-term. And many of your employees can't see past that or read an accounting statement.

> In the end, looking at this in black or white (including your statement) is part of the problem. Unions are neither universally good, nor are they universally bad.

I'm not looking at it in either color. What I am saying is that Unions do not solve the power dynamic problem; and thus can't be the answer for either employees or employers.
I just got a job in the EU by watching on my desired commute path for new company signs I hadn't noticed before, then researching them. I found a startup in an industry that interested me, made an effort to network my way into the eyes of the CEO, and then made myself available when he had work available.

The whole process took 9 months.

The front door of companies is always locked due to the unintended consequences of trying to scale up HR and recruiting. Hang out by the side door, and an insider will let you in. (Remember that "bad recruiting" is a problem insiders are trying to solve, just as you are.)

Technology would do little good if humans don't care about the local ecosystem at all. This repeats again and again and seems we won't learn. Having people living on the ground who are interested in long term local sustainability, not motivated to exploit the land, is usually the best option.
I kind of enjoyed watching it and at the same time I don't think it's a good movie. It's so overly dramatic, the conflict between the characters is super vague, and the most annoying thing is the language they use - a lot of the time the characters talk to each other with metaphors and generic cliches to the point where they aren't saying anything. But the thing is that everyone in the room works in finance, they have no reason to be super generic and non-technical (apart from making the movie more accessible).

I imagine that people who work in finance would like it even less than I did.
It was a reference to what actually happens, and improves the business as a result.

What does it mean we have detached from reality? That valuations are not what they should be? What exactly should they be then? Who should be deciding these things?

No. I do not think he's implying it is a bad thing by itself. Instead he explicitly says that those are the people who try to solve their problems at expense of others.
Yeah maybe you're right, I just remember all those hello world examples with advanced design patterns and how that gets people all excited to overengineer and overcomplicate everything.

Your argument that bison is not an old Latin word and they weren't used interchangeably is somewhat weakened by this ancient Roman source, writing almost 400 years before the end of the western empire, that says they were used interchangeably.

How are you supposed to “engage” with Google search once you’ve downvoted all the spammy ad-ridden garbage and actually get useful results on the first non-ad link?
Except...

Whilst I acknowledge that the M1 macs are pretty good, Intel power pcs on everyone else's desks that work just fine for the standard Microsoft Office workload. Intel are not miles behind, they are just not ahead. In the world of Enterprise Applications x86s compatibility with legacy code is going to be important to many large organisations.

Meanwhile Apple with probably pull support for Rosetta2 in a couple of years (like last time), but Photoshop and Logic will keep working and the most users won't care.

So whilst Intel have not innovated at the speed us techies would have liked, x86 is here to stay in the non-apple world.

Fullstack dev here with more experience in front-end.

I struggle too. I'll tried a lot of different things (ex : puppeteer vs cypress, react vs angular2), and I end up having my own preference.

I'll try to answer some of your questions :

- Should I use SPA ? Slower initial page loading time, but faster to load more pages. Good if typical user stay long on website and navigate multiple pages.

- Es6 import ? Use them when you can, better IDE support than require.

- Build tool ? Start with webpack, oldest tool, with more chance to find answer to your questions on stackoverflow. Although I have little experience on the others (Rollup, etc), so maybe there is one that is simpler to start with.

- React or Vue ? Idk, haven't used view, both are popular and similar, take one you prefer the syntax ?

- Something simpler ? Well, there is too much choice... Vanilla js, another cool library, low code or no code like wordpress...

- SSR ? Less API to build. Faster initial page loading. Roughly. There is quite a lot of library out there with SSR, and it is elvolving quite fast. The future is probably a mix of server and client side rendering.

- npm vs yarn ? I recently played with npm workspaces, and yarn had a feature I needed, otherwise I think sticking to npm is fine. Historically yarn became popular because it introduced .lock file before npm. Npm has since catch up.

- Css compiler ? Minifying, or compiling sass ? You can start without it. Also starter like "create react app" already do these optimizations for you.

- Typescript ? Use it ! Only exception would be your code is too simple to take advantage of typing.
The term "muscle memory" is apt. I've been typing shell commands for 40+ years now. VIM commands for the last 30. They are as natural as brushing one's teeth. I learned them when young and never forgot.
> That's because you are using a linear graph instead of a logarithmic graph.

The macrotrends.net graph linked by fny is logarithmic (by default, though there's a "Log Scale" checkbox to turn it off). It's also inflation-adjusted by default, which I think is a little unfair.
"...geographical limits... was what filtered out the toxicity we observe now"

I don't doubt that that was true. I could amplify my reasons for why I reckon it's so but here that wouldn't contribute much more than I've already said.

I was brought up in a reasonably but not strictly socially conservative town of some 12,000 or so with seemingly few social problems that was about 70 miles from a large urban center of some millions.

Certainly, back then, there were no drug issues other than perhaps alcohol and that wasn't obvious to me. In hindsight, it was a halcyon time and place in which to grow up and I'm so glad that that was my childhood and teenage experience.

No doubt, there were those whose experience wasn't typical but they were never prominent in that they were the subject of common discussion. (Incidentally, I'd never heard the term 'nazi sympathizer' until years after I'd left the town.)

From my experience, the never-ending and increasing loads of information, much of which isn't positive, that people are now exposed to is most of the problem
- and it doesn't matter much from where it comes or what it's about.

My early years have taught me that there's a type of threshold effect at work here. People can cope tollerably well with a certain level of negative information after which their defenses break down (as I see it, humans have only limited capacity to process 'bad' information before they begin to suffer emotionally).

I've little practical idea how we go about resolving this problem in our 'over-connected' societies. Speaking for myself, I've almost completely given up watching TV or listening to radio news and I'd not be seen dead anywhere near social media.

These avoidance habits work for me and stop me from becoming despondent. Unfortunately, I've observed that for many the worse the news is the more addictive their attention becomes.

Ask HN: What are some fantastic books in other topics that use programming?
I am of the opinion that you learn more when you actually use the language that you are trying to learn. Not only that, it gives you new perspectives and provides newer ways to think.

I am not talking about books that teaches you the API and frameworks and tells you how to accomplish something in the real-world, like a React or Django book.

I am looking for suggestions of books where programming (not framework/standard library API calling) is used to accomplish something.

Any language is fine. Any MOOC or playlist is fine, too.

Some examples:

1. Nature of Code

2. Classic Computer Science Problems in Python

3. Math Adventures with Python

4. Realm of Racket

5. Digital Signal Processing in Python by Allen Downey

The purpose of Web browsers is to render HTML. Javascript was an afterthought, to make pages dynamic and allow DOM manipulation. It could be Lua, it could be Python.

As such I would start learning frontend web development with HTML. You can have web development without JS, but you can't have web development without HTML.
I'd love to better understand how crashes start / propagate. A lot of the discussion seems to talk in slightly binary terms - "bear" vs "bull", "crash" as an on/off state, etc. But if we think inflation and reduced stimulus are going to cause a downturn in the stock market, I assume different sectors / types of companies will get impacted at different times? I'd love to see some theories/discussion of how that might play out. Timing dips might be super hard, but predicting how they play out, once they're underway, might be less difficult

From my utterly uninformed position, the Bradley looks like the future to me.

Why? Because look at that dumb little gun on the thing. Nobody shows up to War with a dumb little gun like that, unless they've got some really freaky tricks hidden up their sleeve. If somebody shows up in a tank, you know their plan -- they are going to use their giant gun to shoot at things. Probably other tanks. But the Bradley? Not a tank, no tank gun, so who knows what it is going to do?
“New feature: rubygems now supports ownership scopes using a hyphen separator”
In 2022 the bandwidth requirement is actually easily doable with some compression of the sent data. But an architecture that uses prediction (cool kids seem to call this 'rollback networking' nowadays) has other benefits, like zero latency for player input.
The expense of others is a point that works both ways. You could equally say that someone who insists on being remote because it's better for their family life is preventing/slowing down the return to office, and that's at the expense of people who prefer to be in the office.

But I wouldn't put it that way because I don't think it makes for a productive conversation - office or remote, people like what they like and they have their reasons for it.
It still does the job quite well, naturally I took advantage of being able to expand it to 8 GB and replacing the HDD with a SSD one.

And despite my Linux vs Windows posts, it is actually Linux based, and was bought that way, also a proof that even that didn't help when regarding some common Linux Desktop themes.

Anyway, it has served me well during my travels, like you I am used to take it everywhere.

When it finally dies, it is going to be quite hard to find a good replacement that takes over similar responsibility.
> I doubt they decided independently on a back to office date in the same ~1 month timeframe

Given the reason for office closures was covid, I'd guess that companies in the same geographical area would make similar decisions about when it was appropriate to return to office work. It would be more surprising to me if large companies with similar decision-making throughout the pandemic, in the same geographical area, had drastically different timelines.
At 7 I was typing programs from the book of around 100 basic examples on Atari 800xl and making derivatives. It would help if someone told me back than what a subroutine is.
