Taking the age factor out, I have seen time and again senior level devs that have outdated knowledge and are, alas, not functioning as senior devs any more. This is not just in frameworks, but also in design and methodology. Once they reached a certain level they got lazy and decided they were good enough to stop learning every day.
If 80% is your code, and you're the one making architectural decisions about it, it's not surprising you're much faster at it.

Being a 10x developer is not about commits, or 0 defects short term. Situational knowledge can also blind you to your actual prowess.

How are you elevating the rest of the team? How easy is it for someone to touch on and improce your code?

If you feel and act as your team is incompetent, they either are incompetent, or will become incompetent.
hi, please don't say "russia/Ukraine", it encourages the false equivalency between an international pariah state engaging in a genocide, and the country the genocide is being perpetrated against

Ukraine is not under sanction, and the only things preventing it from providing more food to the world are russia's genocide against Ukrainians, farmers included, russia's blockade of Ukraine, and russia's theft of Ukrainian grain

indeed, the sanctions of the world against russia and belarus, too, are purely a predictable result of their actions, which they nonetheless choose to perpetrate to this very moment, and thus they bear the entire brunt of the consequences

thanks
Ask HN: What are some of your hobbies and leisurely activities?
I'm trying to incorporate more ways to get more rest and recovery/recharge into my daily life. What are some hobbies and leisurely activities that you do regularly that help you get through the day/week etc?

It could be anything from sports/exercise, music/art/craft, games/puzzles, to talking with a friend, watching a comedy, etc. Anything relatively self-imposed is fair game.

And it would be super helpful for me if you could share some details on how you think the activity helps you rest/recharge etc.

Thanks so much in advance!

What changes wrt policy, threat models etc between one answer or the other? We already know they're both realistic scenarios and ought to be acting accordingly.
Note that the second crew to drown included the inventor of the submarine, H. L. Hunley himself. And they still tried a third time...

He's listed on wikipedia's page for inventors killed by their own inventions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_inventors_killed_by_th...

(Also they named the submarine after him after he was killed by it. Kind of morbid.)

You set that bar too low.

Republicans support a variety of policies -- different ones support different policies, but they include:

Limiting abortion.

Decreasing illegal immigration.

Increased access to firearms.

Lower taxes, especially on incomes.

The elimination of Section 230 protections for large tech platforms.

An increase in domestic energy production, with an eye towards energy self-sufficiency.

A decrease in H1 visas.

Increased school choice, through a combination of charter schools, school vouchers, and home-schooling support.

Increased policing, especially the enforcement of misdemeanor theft, vandalism, trespass, and destruction of property.

Increased enforcement of drug laws, especially pertaining to methamphetamines, heroin, and fentanyl.

A decrease in cooperation with China.

You may oppose some or all of these policy positions, but you can't reasonably claim that they aren't policy positions. I tried to give you a smattering from across different types of policy, rather than just things in the news recently.

Shouldn't need saying, but this is not my list of policy goals. I have opinions, but they're not relevant to a discussion of whether the Republican party has or has not got a platform.
I did similar experiments longbtine ago, but wasn't satisfied with results. Still, I believe this idea has great future if done right.

One principle I was experimenting with was "related events should create related sounds." A particular case is hierarchical events, like parent-child operations or requests, that should create "hierarchical sounds" that are octaves apart. For example, the parent request produces note A4, so its child request should be A5. Some cleverness needed to express different types of requests with different, but related sounds. Errors should be clearly audible too.

Real life applications need to work with huge amounts of data: so you could hear a lot in a few seconds. I recommend you to watch a movie about a airplane company investigating a crash by listening to recorded noises: a professional listener gets to hear a lot of insights, and gets subsequently killed for that (forgot the movie name).

Also, think of a huge file with logs: requests, errors, and all sorts of garbage in it. A few millions of records. How do you hear it in 1 minute and get something useful out of it?

Another association is dial-up modems from the 90s: those would take minutes to connect to the internet, "logging" their progress to speakers, and with some experience, you could distinguish diffrent stages of connection or errors.
First, "no linux support" is disingenuous. Second, with a Framework you can replace a USB-c port with a 1TB expansion card, or with an Ethernet port, or whatever is in stock. Those who bought the first model can now upgrade to a next-gen processor and/or reinforced lid, without throwing the whole laptop away. While System76 has surprisingly lower prices than I expected, it does not appear to have similar features--you still have to replace the entire system whenever your Pangolin becomes obsolete in 3 years. Framework was always more about sustainability. They didn't anticipate the demand for Linux/FOSS stuff, but they're adjusting for that. Hopefully some future motherboard will have Coreboot, and I can buy that motherboard and pop it in my laptop.
I'm using HTMX with Flask through revamping a site previously with server side page rendering + AJAX. It is excellent.

Some of the more contrived AJAX to update parts of a page is being replaced by HTMX, some page loads are being replaced. It is working very smoothly and at a vastly higher speed (also, incremental) than redoing everything with React, the other option tabled. I'll certainly be using it more.

Hello,

Congrats on putting this service together.

Was reading some of the free articles on my phone (iOS/Safari) and I noticed that I’m unable to select, this lookup, words.

Is there any reason why you’ve disabled text selection on the main body of the articles?

If it is to stop people from copying it won’t help.

Anyway, it seriously degrades the UX that one cannot use the native phone features such as lookup. Especially when reading articles of this type.

What Will Work–and What Won’t–In the Sprint for Fast Delivery
Work somewhere with really, really smart people.

When I joined Stripe in 2017, I couldn't get over the number of people I worked with who were smarter, better engineers than myself. It was new to me. It was hard at times (impostor syndrome, feeling like an idiot, etc), but mostly super fun – and of course, incredibly humbling. Humility is really important to me, and it sounds like it is to you, too – you can gain it, along with a sense of camraderie, with the right team.

Switching jobs is normal, healthy, and not a betrayal – you've put in great work at this company and it will outlast you. It's time to look for something new.

Don't just say yes to the first company that comes your way – say "no" to a variety of them and when you feel really excited about the people you interview with, lean in and spend time getting to know them before signing.

If you've never worked at a "fancy silicon valley company" before, don't feel afraid about applying to them. At Stripe, we hired people with backgrounds like yours all the time, alongside folks with fancy Harvard/MIT/Google/etc backgrounds.

Don't worry, you're not anything special in the grand scheme of things :) find a company with lots of engineers better than you and you'll find a lot of joy.

As an aside, what you describe of your current role sounds straight out of the eng ladder for Stripe's "Staff Software Engineer" level. You can read more about that style of work in Will Larson's book if you want more like that, or join an earlier-stage company with a heavy-hitting team.

If you'd like to chat further, my email is in my profile, happy to set up a Zoom.

You do have a valid point, but phantom braking is most definitely an issue, and can most definitely cause a crash that would not have happened otherwise. Any system that gets spooked and hauls on the anchors for no reason, even once, is not fit for purpose IMO (and it's happened to me in 2 different VAG cars in the last 6 months, fortunately with no other cars nearby both times).

Facing the same problem.

When I first read about this laptop, I immediately jumped to preorder it but found that they aren't sold to people like me. The same happened again when I read this article. Your comment reminded me why I still have one.

The thing is that I'm also starting to reconsider buying one now. I know they're small and barely able to keep up with their local markets, but competitors are starting to notice. I as a non-american would much rather buy from a international competitor who doesn't treat me like a lesser citizen if they can match Framework's level of openness and modularity. Once I buy into their ecosystem, I doubt I'll reconsider framework again. I imagine a significant portion of framework's underserved international market in this position.

I truly wish all the success to the framework team. I just hope, for their sake, that they manage to address international demand before they lose it to their competitors.
TCP does not support non-TCP protocols efficiently (since any type of tunneling or encapsulation necessarily enforces at least some TCP semantics on whatever is being tunneled).

> I know that it must receive things in-order

TCP? No, it can handle dropped, duplicated and even reordered packets, but doing so is problematic for many applications (either due to real-time requirements or adverse network conditions that a given TCP implementation doesn‘t handle well).
Huh? Murder and fraud have tons of weird edge cases!

Most jurisdictions even have 3+ different definitions for murder alone (not to mention manslaughter) and a bunch of specialist lawyers to figure it out, and a bunch more lawyers to argue about technicalities!
> We had the chance...

One of my theories it happened the way it did is that the US at that time was far weaker and spent from the Cold War than it let on. That it was fiscally more of a close a call as WW2 prevailing fiscal standards were, and the US simply did not have it within itself to financially support another rebuilding like it did with Germany and Japan. The US possibly also expected that if Russia integrated with Europe, the US would underwrite most of the check, the NATO alliance would absorb the benefits, dissolve, turn around and economically compete with the US after the US just exhausted itself from the extended effort.

Please ELI5 because I'm not following your anecdote. For your "90%" figure to make sense to me, you'd have to be able to draw the line connecting the dots that explains how 10% of the Ukrainian population can coerce however many remain in Ukraine to join that 10% and put up sufficiently organized resistance to stall Russian forces. The widespread expectation at the beginning was that too few Ukrainians would put up a fight (your "90%") and it was time to cede all of Ukraine like Crimea was ceded and move on.

How do we get from that expectation to the reality on the ground where the titular second most powerful military in the world was supposed to steamroller through Kyiv in a few days but is now bogged down in a conflict it now admits to its own citizens might be a long slog, on only 10% popular support of Ukrainians? I find it more plausible that 90% of those at the border might have this attitude, but that is still a minority fraction of the total population remaining in the country. Perhaps 90% of those fleeing are predisposed to just wanting it to all be over no matter who rules them?

And why would these people trust Putin's word that he wouldn't implement a modern Holodomor if they just let him have Ukraine, even as he's shipping grain away from Ukraine by the metric thousand-ton right now? And what would they feel if the rest of the world turned their backs on Ukraine in such a scenario because 90% "just want this war to be over - even if Putin 'wins'" and Ukraine is definitely a part of the Russian Federation instead of a currently-recognized sovereign state, and strategic nuclear weapons are instantly in play in that scenario to wrest control of Ukraine-the-Russian-Federation-territory from Russia?

Once Ukraine is under a vengeful narcissist's thumb with the other thumb on the nuclear trigger, just what exactly do you think will happen, Slavic brotherhood rainbows and unicorns? If that 90% ever existed in reality at all, then it lost its chance at any kind of "just want this war to be over" in the first week or two.
Unironically, my friends who ran up their credit cards to buy Bitcoin during the last recession are rich and secure now because of it. They thank me for turning them onto it.

Unfortunately for me, I followed conventional advice. I saved a cash emergency fund and only allocated ~20% of my investment budget to Bitcoin. The cash inflated away and I have orders of magnitude less Bitcoin than my friends.
Any plans on adding a touchscreen option in the future ?
I almost bought one earlier this year but really wanted a convertible. So I bought the new X13 yoga gen2 instead, which I am quite happy with for now (works well with Ubuntu). I use it rarely in tablet mode though and could probably live without this feature but I absolutely love having a touchscreen on my notebook.

> we did not have Vec because we were no-std + stable so we literally had to use arrays

It's true that Vec isn't available in a no-std context, but I don't think it follows that arrays are the only other option - see heapless for one example: https://github.com/japaric/heapless

I also agree with some of the ancestors: the post seems to say that the Rust language couldn't handle arrays with more than 32 elements, and (as someone who's written a fair bit of no-std Rust, before const generic) that doesn't seem right. At first, it did seem awkward to me as well that some macros weren't defined for >32 element arrays, but in practice I haven't found it to be a significant limitation.

Was there a particular scenario where it wasn't feasible to wrap a >32 element array in your own type and implement Default on it?
The article points out why AA is not a salient contrast metric, but also not true—in the design page, you have very limited control, and then after leaving the design page, the color you selected are changed and used differently (i.e. the highlight).

Since there are many dimensions of intelligence, the above is very underspecified.

Once you disabuse yourself of the fallacy that there is a single dimension of intelligence, it opens up a whole new world of possible mindsets. This allows you to rethink your goals and even your metrics for fulfillment. Perhaps it is more rewarding to think of how you complement others, for example, in terms of capabilities, personality types, and life experience.
Just because it will probably be worse now doesn't mean it wasn't bad then. Then I lost my house and struggled to scrape through financially. We learned from that experience and are better prepared to weather this round. It may be a blessing for many that 2008 was so recent, and this recession has trumpeted its approach for a while: maybe they've used the time to prepare.
Schools don't teach macro languages is probably the biggest problem.

Before YAML or Dockerfiles, it was the way to declare state and reduce complexity for sysadmins. Basically, any time you had data that needed multiple projections (eg. hosts to forward and reverse zonefiles), you reached for m4. The same went for unwieldy configs (apache, sendmail, etc.).

Culturally, macro languages seem to be just learned ad-hoc, ie. how many here have had a class in m4 or TeX?
Yet another reminder that you should never pay blackmailers.

I never understood this. Why don't companies offer international keyboards in their online american store? It should be especially easy for framework to do this since they already customize their offers/sell kits.
The saying is, a competent prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich.
Many (most?) came with printed manuals that described all their functions and how the controls work. Though, that wouldn't usually teach general concepts of subtractive synthesis or the like. Honestly I'll wager that most synth musicians learned by experimenting with the synth for hours on end, just as I did when I was learning. I mean HOURS and HOURS. Synthesizers are not actually that complicated, and once you understand the fundamental pieces, you find that basically all synths just have some combination of those fundamental pieces. You can either find out that foundational stuff by observation or getting lucky with a synth manual that lays it all out for you, or knowing someone that is already knowledgeable with that stuff.

The thing that's interesting to me, is that this guy's company was imeem, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imeem, which was sold to MySpace for reportedly less than $1 million in 2009.

I know nothing about the company, but they seemed to have a decent go at it, founded in 2003. At the end of the day, though, I just can't imagine their business model succeeding, Great Recession or not.

Sure, perhaps they could have pivoted into basically something completely different, but at that point, if they were a 5-year old company, how much value would they really have been able to salvage? Given he talks about high burn rate and one of his bullet points is "Renegotiate all of your contracts with the music industry.", my guess is that their model was just fundamentally unprofitable given how much they were paying for licenses.

You'll hear lots of stories and theories about what companies could have done to save themselves, but recessions also serve a very important function of really sussing out who was selling dollars for 90 cents, and honestly that's what it sounded like his company was doing.
Just playing devil's advocate here for a second, but, if you were accused of such a thing, you knew you hadn't done it, and you knew that the newspaper offering to run your comments along with their story was part of a plot to smear you with baseless attacks, would you give them a comment for them to run knowing they would only use it if they could make you look more guilty?

I'm not saying this is what happened in Musk's case. Maybe he is guilty -- wouldn't be the first rich guy (or just, the first guy) caught doing something like this. Just saying, Musk became Enemy No 1 of the left and then almost immediately, a sexual-deviancy charge appears from long ago and is being obviously aggressively pushed across all platforms, and it'd be irresponsible not to wonder, given how often the left gets caught using this exact tactic.
