Really amazing. I also learned to program on a Z80 clone. Now i use a laptop with 4 cores from which only 1 is usable due to thermal throtling. Teams is eating 1 from my 16 GB of RAM and 7 GB are occupied by Outlook (400MB) Excel (400MB) Edge (400MB) Acrobat (200MB) and the Windows 10 ( rest till 7 GB).

On Linux i use the same programs as 10 years ago and while the functionality has not been greatly increased, they need 4 times the amount of libraries compared to 10 years ago to function.
Amazing.
Indeed, Dalí would absolutely be minting NFTs if he were alive today.

At least for me, the fact that BT is decades old and most ppl still have issues with it is enough to think that is just a hot pile of garbage.

Obviously manufacturers haven't been eradicating useful screen ratios for no reason, I've just never seen anyone publicly admit to being the cause. Would you also like to take the blame for glossy screens, chicklet keyboards, and non-replaceable batteries?
I'd be really curious on that breakdown of comment/posting volume. Reddit has a lot of lurkers.

So what's new here? Slow-ish night trains are very common in Russia. I've used them more times than I care to count. They're a good fit for traveling between St Petersburg and Moscow. Sure, even the most luxurious class РЖД offers doesn't come close to this, but other than that...
> Got a failure and need to get past it for now? No problem: bump the date for a week or something. Now at least two people are aware that it exists (author+reviewer)... and one is in the git history for that line.

That sounds like an awful strategy, one that needlessly creates problems and revision history noise and team distractions.

Is it awful if a comment leads your CICD pipeline to break? Now imagine having your CICD pipeline break because of a TODO item.

Just create a ticket in your ticket queue and get rid of that TODO.

Every time one makes the point that Bitcoin has no real utility, someone says 'Lightning network'. Does anyone know if it's getting any adoption?
> easily lost, forgeable, destroyed, manipulated, unrecognized.

How are NFTs, or any crypto assets, better in that regard?

The independance from a centralized auth (house auction, bank, law court) is rather moot, because that's what you need to have to investigate, solve and guarantee dispute resolutions (lost, stolen, forged, impersonated assets, unfaithful transactions, illegal transactions, etc.).

Moreover, cryptos exchanges today _do_ act as few centralized points of control.

You still can lose NFTs, lose control on them. You can still have your own artwork being minted by someone else, even against your own will (and to control against that abuse, you will need some sort of central authority somewhere).

You can still forge or impersonate artists.

You can manipulate people on their actual value versus the value of the thing they represent (that is, owning an NFT on an artwork today provides no guarantee of owning any right on the artwork itself).

And that's not even taking into account the energy burnt into it.

I mostly agree, there's a huge amount of crap that shouldn't exist.

However I doubt it will be like the 30s. Back then it was really slow to transmit the information of who needs what stuff, and which firm is looking for people. With modern communications the shock should be less.

The bluetooth specification is such that there are exactly zero compliant implementations of it. Bluetooth LTE is a damn sight better than Bluetooth 4.0, in this regard, but the specification is still literally longer than War & Peace. This guarantees that people will always hit some bug or broken use case, no matter the device that they're using, sooner or later.

Indeed a date in a TODO is irrelevant, and more importantly revision control systems already track the date when the TODO was added and updated.

That order was issues during the battle of stalingrad. Not a step back. Basically they had a rear guard tasked with shooting anybody running the wrong direction.

Enemy at the Gates was of course a dramatized version of the situation. But basically the notion of shipping in fresh meat across the Volga to replenish troops lost in the city was very real. And running the wrong way was lethal. And in terms of casualties this probably was one of the largest battles ever with extreme losses on the Russian side.

The TLDR summary here is that the compiler allows you to hook into ("instrument") function calls and run custom logic of your choosing on function enter/leave. From that point on, you could use that mechanism to log how your program executes ("tracing").
You can do it now again if you're feeling risky...
Your experience is the same as mine x several.

This has happened to me in I think almost every company I've worked at. The person at the top really has no business being there and has produced a terribly bad system. Often they think very highly of themselves and have 0 self reflection. They'll be called into meetings as a subject matter expert on things they have no clue about.

The speed thing is also a clue often these dev rattled code out at a high pace without self reflecting on the code either.

Code being perfect and bug free is highly unlikely. I've worked with some very talented devs and there code always had something wrong with it. The type of dev that the OP fit into would argue about something being a bug to make it seem like their code is perfect. So rather than a bug all their bug would become new features. A perfect cop out when something they write is less than perfect.

Doing 79% of the story points is a big red flag. You're hogging all the work when you do this and not letting anyone else in the team learn about what it is your building. It's a bad PO / SM that doesn't notice that one person in a team of 10 is doing almost all the work.

FYI this never ended well for the devs I've seen like this in the past. Either through M & A or change or leadership something will happen that knocks them off the top and their ego will take a massive beating once the new top dev comes in and takes over.

> otherwise why would you pay extra for a hotel night on a train from a city that you live in

Because if you stayed at home, you have to wake up early and deal with the airport to fly on the airline. This way, you can take your time, make use of the journey for some work or relaxation and arrive fresh in the morning.
> If you are asking about my psychometric profile, I scored 94 on the test we use.

So you're confirming that these "psychometric profiles" can be summarized as a number. Which means it's very easy to automatically apply a filter (reject any candidate with a score lower than 80), and even if there is no automated filter in place, you understand that people with access to this number will immediately be biased because of it? ("I have to review this candidate, but he fared 70 at the psychometric test, where every other candidate fared 90 or more...", and then obviously, during the interview, and after, the reviewer will be biased by that number.)
>With markets it's all about narrative.

As is with pyramidal schemes, which most of crypto are.
maybe this depends on the game and players. I have seen a lot of MtG folks take pleasure in having a carefully curated deck with some cards that are more rare and coveted than others, and even hold onto these cards years later when they aren't playing any more because they have some sentimental value to them. if supply were unlimited then every player would just have every card in the game.

it is like WoW loot where some items are rare and others are not. if all items in the game were of equal supply and scarcity, there would be no rare or coveted items. you could trade a bronze dagger for a legendary mythril great sword or whatever. after 100 loot drops from grinding you'd have 100 different items of equal rarity rather than say 95 worthless items and 5 rare items.

i guess that is a valid type of game but it seems different than most trading card games and loot based games.

Does HIV spread in the same manner as COVID? No, literally not even remotely similar.

Does HIV already have treatments/prophylaxis available that can extremely reduce the chance you get HIV or spread it, unlike COVID? Yes.

So do you have any actual reasoning, or are you just concern trolling that since it happened for a completely different situation, this would be “forced” on us.

Yes, his version of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition was amazing. I first heard of it several years ago when I was reading Uwe Tellkamp's The Tower: Tales From a Lost Country which was about growing up in East Germany in the 1970s and 1980s. The main character is obsessed with the record, which was made available through the East German state music publisher "Amiga" (maybe being based on a Russian work made it more palatable to the authorities). Anyway, I tracked down a copy myself and really enjoyed it. I was familiar with Vangelis but not Tomita before that.

Justine here. I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying it! A lot of what I do for fun in my spare time is read old code, since I want to understand the hopes and dreams of each generation, and then find some way to capture the essence of that dream using the advantages of modern tools. For example, https://justine.lol/sectorlisp2/ was a really nice blog post that recreates the idea of LISP as it existed around 1960, except much smaller and beautifully polished since we now have better tools than punch cards. I'm obviously much younger than the original LISP hackers, but I put a lot of effort into understanding and faithfully recreating their ideas. I even colorized the LISP 1.5 listing for my blog https://justine.lol/sectorlisp/ while I was reading it, since you really get to know people when you read their code. In any case, you can expect some more content from me in the upcoming weeks.

JetBrains is doing quite well with InteliJ monoculture.
> following their rules for what is and isn't allowed seems fair

It depends on how you look at it. That is literally the deal, yes, but it's a poor deal for developers of free apps.

We make Android's platform more valuable, for free, and in return we have to constantly rewrite our apps because of poorly-thought out policies that keep changing.

The suspicion is that many of these changes are unnecessary and a result of Google's notorious "promotion-driven development".

I think the most annoying aspect of it is that Android changes so often and so fast that they can't even keep their own documentation in sync.

Bitcoin is possibly the most important bit of engineering since the Manhattan Project.

You may not have any interest in fixing the world but some people do.

Bitcoin takes energy. You can't use that energy for two things at once. You can't mine Bitcoin and Ethereum at the same time. The market for mining one squeezes out the other. A blockchain is only as secure as the game theory backing it.
It's more the principle of the thing–if I wanted to steal code from Google their "no source code on laptops" policy wouldn't stop me at all. And given that I don't actually want to steal code the policy sucks, so the real question is what the benefit is here by treating me like a criminal.
There are always archive links. It’s a good idea to read the whole article before condemning it.

Point of information: "boomer" usually refers to people born in the US postwar baby boom, so by definition boomers will not remember that era directly.

But yes, nationalism can drive people to insane extremes. It was a huge mistake for Japan to attack the US and bring them into WW2, and it was a huge mistake for Russia to attempt to take Kyiv and bring Europe into its war with Ukraine.

Straw man argument. I was not commenting on those things, and you know it.

Clearly the original article is both condescending and arrogant. And elitist.

> "oh, you think this stuff is new? it's been documented a thousand times before, don't bother".

I didn't say that. There's value in writing it again. I don't pretend that my blog post are pushing the envelope of knowledge either, but maybe I'll explain it in a way that fits better with how some reader will better absorb it.

Anyway: I am familiar with you from the past, and how even your friends have described you as someone who likes to live life at the edge of trolling. I sense that this is what's happening now, so I will not engage further.

I wish you good day.
Not sure, their traffic stats page isn't super informative. It just has a breakdown of old reddit / new reddit / mobile web / official app. 3rd party apps are not counted.
> I used to create a lot of TODOs in the code to track things but some developers just do not prefer this way.

Requiring TODO items to be created and tracked in an issue tracking system instead of sprinkling comments in source code is a no-brainer, quite honestly.

Issue/bug tracking systems were explicitly created to help teams track pending work. It makes no sense at all to misuse code comments to do the exact same job that's already done by any ticketing system.

Complaining that TODO/FIXIT comments are forgotten when any team workflow is based on constantly reviewing pending tickets and assigning them to team members is something that's hard, if not outright impossible, to justify.
A note on the site: the automatic switch between “before” and “after” graphics is a bit jarring for me on mobile. I don’t get time to read the graphic before it switches. At first I didn’t even realize what happened and thought it was a layout glitch.
Why would someone mine a crypto with less dollar value when they could mine a crypto with a higher dollar value, bearing in mind they're going to sell it immediately?

Blockchains are like Highlander. There can only be one. The more people mine one, the less miners are available for others. Satoshi already proved this.
Ask HN: What are modern architecture patterns for desktop applications?
I built a web based prototype for an application using a Docker microservices architecture:
postgreSQL, redis, traefik, etc. - the regular stuff - which works great.
Now, the application's usecase is actually better suited in a offline environment with a standalone executable,
and I'm struggling to make this transition.

(How does the app work?
Think of the application as a file indexing system: you specify a folder on your local hard drive and the program will analyze the files (might take up to 30 minutes) and store metadata for it in a search-optimized datastructure.)

From what I understand most applications also separate frontend and backend layers and let the processes communicate via message passing
over some form of channel and protocol. The solutions I found include Unix Sockets with gRPC (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/grpc/interprocess?view=aspnetcore-6.0), local HTTP Servers with a REST API or gRPC, even
JSON over stdin/stdout (https://github.com/xi-editor/xi-editor).
Solutions for datastorage include custom file formats, sqlite databases or bundled mongodb instances into the main application.

I figured out the backend part with analysis running multithreaded and writing into a sqlite database.
For the IPC I spawn a gRPC Server which clients connect to over HTTP/2.
That way I compile a platform agnostic backend and platform specific frontends.
It all works okish but I feel like it's unnecessarily complicated and there could be a common strategy I am missing.

*TL;DR: What are modern architectures for desktop applications equivalent to a microservice architecture with backend/frontend separation, message queueing, pub/sub, authentication, ...?*

To add another statistic, I'm seeing 3500 uniques from old reddit and nearly 15k from new reddit (plus 3000 mobile web and nearly 90k from "Reddit Apps") last month; the subreddit has ~1.5m subscribers and is heavily image based.
The proliferation of speed bumps is also a noise problem. Living on a relatively busy street, it's very clear that they increase traffic noise significantly. Some vehicles/loads clatter as they go over the bump, some drivers brake/accelerate aggressively. A constant speed engine/road noise would be much less irritating. Especially in the early hours of the morning.

If speeding is a problem, cameras would be a better solution. But that would cost more...

That competes pretty well with many bank transfer methods, especially international, which still take many days and cost sometimes $20+.
