That title and that album cover: a woman wearing bikini and low-light glasses for snow, with the sun on the back and broken floating ice. A prediction of climate change from 1980?
I meant that the logic implies that https://github.io is shady because it uses the ccTLD of British Indian Ocean Territory despite being unrelated.

Of course you should cross reference the authenticity of any URL you are about to execute as a shell script. No one is saying not to.

But your point seems to agree with mine: it’s only as shady as it is unfamiliar. The answer shouldn’t be to come up with a URL that lowers your guard. Instead, users should get familiar.
I am certainly not aware, any chance you could share a few?
"This feeling of loneliness got quantified when the commit number came up. The problem is people just accept whatever I say. I used to get challenged in some of my decisions, which I always appreciated since I could create better solutions. Nowadays people just accept whatever I say as the best way.

It feels like I don't have peers."

This chunk here is consistent across fields. It means that you are the big fish in this pond.

Some people like that. Some people hate it. It looks like you're in the latter camp, and that means that you want to look for a job elsewhere, in an organization which is bigger in one specific metric: the number of people who can teach and mentor you.

Ascertaining that metric is very difficult.

You should also be aware that if you find such a group, you may not like it as much as you think you will. Humans have a lot invested in status, and your status will decrease significantly if you move to a group where you are merely better than average, or perhaps a little below average. New job energy may mask that for some months.
The webserver will rarely be your bottleneck. Your application or database will be long before the webserver is.
are we doing CORS? Adding headers? If it is just a one-off fetch, I'd probably long-hand it. If I intended to be fetching from many endpoints, I'd probably write a tiny little abstraction. I'm not exactly keen on loading a 30kb lib (gzipped) so that I can write (maybe) fewer lines for data fetching. Especially considering jQuery's async requests don't conform to the fetch standard. (They reject on 404s)
Seriously, I can always tell a Hans Zimmer score without even having preknowledge that a film had hired him. Big, orchestral, boring score that repeats the same motifs he's been using for the last 50 years? Dude has one act.
Iunno, I really don’t do anything to the apple tree other than trim branches (which I sell or give away to bbqers depending on my mood). Every couple years it yields a huge crop (and some years gets completely defoliated by disease, but I’m lazy and just let nature take its course).

People love non-commercial applewood.
yeah, we could possibly engage some of that latent capacity.
- aggressively trim unnecessary expenses like media subscriptions, the "extra coffee", immaterial luxury goods. you don't have to live like a monk, but all of us could easily trim our fun spending by 20-50%.

- have 6-12 months of emergency cash that can sustain you if your main source of income fails. something will always happen, whether it's an appliance or car that breaks down, or an unexpected medical expense. slush funds are good.

- 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. make stuff last the extra mile, if you can. stretching electronics and clothes .... fixing electronics (when realistic) instead of buying the new shiny thing ...

- don't sell stocks. if anything; if you're fortunate enough to truly have extra cash, buy that stock at rock-bottom prices you've been eyeballing for a while. buy low, sell high.

- if you have dependents, be extra conservative with your cash. you will need each other.

- this too, shall pass.
I’ve seen a single jQuery developer be replace by a team of 20 angular developers a couple times now.
The jQuery was far more productive
Thank you. A last thought... yours is a most excellent problem to have!

While the original CFAA goes back to 1986 it was amended a few times and IIRC the broad expansion happened in 2008.
Get a quote. Get multiple quotes. Several times in my life the dealer had APRs of < 1% APR, which was better then available elsewhere.
Dear dang,

A Karen is no more an inappropriate slur than many other useful words and phrases that are negative, such as goody-two-shoes, busybody, bully, crank, etc.

I don’t see how it helps to ban negative words.
jQuery is still around because it's hard to get rid of. Think of all those WordPress websites that use themes, which have jQuery in it. Who is brave enough to remove jQuery?
Right, but you don't want anyone in the world to have access to your home computer and printer, right?

You're talking about a different problem: How can I extend the concept of my "home network" to the devices that I use and trust regardless of where I am? I'd argue that this is something that suggests that VPN functionality should get built into gateway devices.

Regardless, I don't want scammers in Malaysia port-scanning my 10 year old printer that's never going to get a security update.
A 10x difference in productivity between super efficient developers and shitty ones isn't as rare as you think.
Perhaps not that that much. Swift’s arrays are refcounted. And you can’t store an array on the stack. Classes are refcounted too, but you could avoid them. It also has a bit of a runtime, and you don’t know when it will take locks or allocate (though there is work to tag functions so they can’t do either).
I feel so identified with your feelings and came up with the same plan: Focus on helping others grow. Next year I'm moving on my company to a new team which is focused on improving tools, processes and the developer experience overall. Time will tell if the plan turns into a solution.

Hope the best for you and your mental health in all of this :)
> I think you're an above average developer working at a below average company.

This. I'd conjecture that this has led to OP becoming overconfident.

I also think that OP should not be a manager. If one dev is doing 70% of the work then that's either bad hiring practices or micromanagement where other team members are not trusted to deliver complex projects.
Also worth noting: not all ARMs have a balloon payment. For example, I bought most of my farm on a 20yr ARM with a 20yr amortization. As interest rates rise I will have higher payments, but there’s no moment when the music stops and the rest of the principle immediately comes due.
According to Wikipedia:

> New Horizons has been called "the fastest spacecraft ever launched" because it left Earth at 16.26 kilometers per second [...] However, it is not the fastest spacecraft to leave the Solar System. As of January 2018, this record is held by Voyager 1, traveling at 16.985 km/s relative to the Sun. Voyager 1 attained greater hyperbolic excess velocity than New Horizons due to gravity assists by Jupiter and Saturn. When New Horizons reaches the distance of 100 AU, it will be travelling at about 13 km/s, around 4 km/s slower than Voyager 1 at that distance.
Consumer grade filters have nicer fans that let them push move more air with less noise. I have multiple in my house and it's amazing how quiet they are.

Never say never. If you have great credit, you can get some awesome manufacturer incentives.

- I got a 0% APR loan on a new Ford via Ford Motor Finance in 2016 and didn't even have to put much cash down.

- I got a 0% APR loan on a new Hyundai Palisade in 2021 (yes, even after COVID!) by paying for almost half the car in cash as a down payment.

No other finance channel would have ever offered me 0% APR.
> What nobody understands is that this is not happening strictly because of the war or the drought, but because of the fragility of the global food system, which simply cannot bear any shocks.

Your logic seems strange: "he didn't die because of a car crash, he died because his car didn't resist being smashed into a tree"

Sure, any system could be made more or less fragile, and you could argue that making it less fragile would have lessened the impact, but you can't say that "this is not happening because of the war" - of course it is
It's a polyglot world for IAC, and even standing before both tools in their current state I can imagine other axes of consideration that might rank as highly as the specific characteristics of the language. In our case we adopted TF several years back and being able to use a different language probably isn't going to be enough benefit to justify migrating all our things. I think in many cases people will adopt the tool that gives them the most confidence that it will do what they need, and deal with whatever language it uses.
oh that sounds interesting! :o honestly, the same idea might have traction now since I know so many artists who are desperate to get away from social media and make their own site, but would like "some" kind of discoverability.

>The worst part is I am sensing within myself this frustration that everyone else appears to move so slowly. The thought of "great, one more thing I got to fix" is coming up too frequently.

I see this as a point of opportunity for you because you have some part in this and just need to figure out what it is. Based on what you are saying, the key might be found somewhere between when you do what comes easy for you in terms of getting work done - and - doing what is very hard/unpleasant for you but would produce more work in others. You are exercising control with a high level of expertise and this could be exercised differently.

An example I could give is the case of a tech help forum I co-moderate. If I want more help from the community and to see increased participation with ideas and suggestions, I have to let the unanswered question just sit there. If another moderator takes it upon themselves to efficiently get things solved and jumps in and answers it, then others don't see a need.

I'm not sure how this translates, but it might mean that the next big challenge for you is found in choosing to NOT doing something rather than doing it. Like, being available to others during that time, rather than actually doing it, could be a strategic step. This would increase interaction, help you see the effort made by others regardless of their productivity, and man - we all benefit when someone competent is not constantly busy. I love asking questions but hate to interrupt others. Open office hours the way professors do it, or something like that.
That is a good point about typedefs, and I would hate to be using 'ADD 1, a, b TO x ROUNDED' instead of 1 + a + b + round(x). I'll also have to check out F#.
Are you imagining that a security researcher trying to get money from a bug bounty program would be considered extortion? Unless said hypothetical researcher says "pay me or I sell the exploit to the highest bidder", I don't believe the situation you are worried about could exist.

Is there a reason to give each host a subnet in that scenario? You don't need to do that just to let a host grab 50 IPs.

Actually, if you want to avoid renumbering, don't you want to have that whole block of servers share a subnet?
100%. Growing up my parents were hardcore gardeners (arguably smalltime farmers) with about 2 acres of farmland and an additional 2 acres of fruit trees. We'd eat pretty heavily out of the garden from the late spring through the fall, and would have potatoes, apples, canned/frozen goods through much of the winter... but it was an enormous amount of work. In the spring and summer basically any time that it was viable to work in the garden on the weekends or in the evenings, we were out working in the garden.
Triggering world war 3 would also help reduce the population which could reduce co2 emissions and food requirements. Killing a few birds with one stone.
Yup! That next bridge 100 feet farther north looks even worse too, lol. Don't think you're supposed to be able to see the deck like that.

From what I remember, that set of bridges has had problems with chunks coming off and hitting people as they drive on the highway. A chunk of concrete at 70mph is absolutely lethal.
I hear you on writing out explanations taking even longer than grokking the material yourself. But hopefully the path you describe will already help me find an angle to get into the material even if you never get around to it (would love to read such a series though).

I have only done Huffman encoding/decoding in "toy" contexts, although I do think I understand the theory. Also I was not fully aware that ANS and FSE aren't quite the same thing, I thought the latter was "just" the finite-state machine formulation of the concepts described by the former. Perhaps trying to make sense of FSE first will be an easier entrypoint.

Thanks for taking the time to write out all of that advice, it's really appreciated!

What is your goal? Have to make hay while the sun shines, if you perform so we’ll see if you can find another opportunity to realize that gap you’re in? If that’s not fruitful, try and try again and at the end of the day, find resolve in knowing you’re doing what you can and, while you have that going wrt opportunities, give your thoughts and time to things around you that do inspire you and provide some degree of fulfillment. As someone in the field as a moderately tenured, and currently unemployed, “software engineer”: it is hard to unplug but god is it so necessary for being present and being able to see what else is going on you can nurture&enjoy. I’m a bit scared, given the macro picture rn, about being unemployed. But, at the end of the day, we are all in this ocean of chaos with 86400 seconds to allocate everyday however we choose. Bit of a lengthy rant, but feels good to capture some thoughts I’ve been having honestly, and hope you are most excellent!!! At least it’s almost the weekend haha.

It's a bit startling how quickly it seems to be advancing, though: this 2005 article is saying girls were becoming pubescent "between 9 and 10, roughly a year early". It's only taken a couple decades for that to have turned into "...mostly of girls who were developing breasts at 7 or 8 years old" and "as early as 6 and 7"
Lived through the first dot-com crash, the 2008 crash, and now this.

The current reality, today, is nowhere near either one -- speculative bubble tech has crashed, but the rest of the market is around February 2021 prices. The S&P500 is only just now entering "correction" territory.

The only thing similar is that we have a ton of drama from people claiming that the end is near. But in 2008, the financial system really was close to systemic collapse. Banks were having runs and being rescued by the FDIC. Money market accounts were dropping below a dollar. That was crazy. Seeing Terra break the buck is...not the same.

Yes, inflation is high and that's concerning, but what's fundamentally driving a lot of the panic are the "high" interest rates (i.e. rates that haven't been "this high" since...spring of 2020). This too shall pass. Parts of the market that were wildly irrational will gain sanity, or they will go away. Fake wealth will be lost. It will be painful for the few who dove head-first into the froth, but to me, right now, this doesn't look like a moment for panic. For contrast, I was genuinely freaked out by what was happening in 2008.
Certik audits are a joke and should not be used in any way to validate a project. Certik takes money from anon developers, so there is no recourse in case the site rugs.

There is no requirement that the code running on the site is the actual code that was audited. Projects have displayed a 'Audited by Certik' stamp of approval and then later rugged.

This just sounds like another example of Price’s Law. Seems like you’ve climbed the ladder of competency at your organization, and now there’s nowhere else to go.

I’ll leave you with this quote from Garry Tan:

“At every job you should either learn or earn. Either is fine. Both is best. But if it's neither, quit” [1]

Sounds like you might need more on the side of learning here. Good luck.

I just wanted to say I loved your post and I think this is a very hard thing to articulate in our culture. Because you're absolutely right about the social impacts of many forms of negativity. But "negativity" seems too broad of a term for the thing we need to avoid. But then, what is the more precise alternative? I guess "mindless negativity" is something closer, at least.
Plain JavaScript replaced it. jQuery provided useful things at its time, indeed, but JS has been somewhat improved at least and learned the tricks, even improved upon them. JS is still somewhat ugly, but I will give it at least that much. Now one does not really need jQuery any longer for most things, which were done with it. I personally find plain JS API and fetch to be cleaner than jQuery stuff even. People still use jQuery it out of habbit or, because it would be a lot of work to get rid of it everywhere.
Ask HN: Is there a DALL-E effect in place?
I follow Dall-e generated imagery on Twitter and Reddit in awe. But now every time I see an image with a caption I try to find the little imperfections it usually has only to realize many seconds later that it's a real photo. Most photos now stop me to question if they real. Random photos never took that much time before, now they do.

Are you also doing this?

P.S. Photoshop happened gradually, and it takes lot of effort to do it correctly, same goes for Photorealistic 3d renders. They are indistinguishable when done perfectly which is not that often. Therefore I think it's very different from photoshop or realistic 3d renders.
Unemployment is low because companies have had access to really cheap money, and have been hiring people in an attempt to grow their business.

This is the point of low interest rates, but it has caused inflation, and it has caused a potential "bomb" now that rates are hiking.

Those employees were hired in the hopes of fulfilling tasks which were also being fueled by cheap money. When the money dries up (which it has), it's only a matter of time before those jobs get cut.
This is thermodynamically inevitable, at least, according to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wealth,_Virtual_Wealth_and_Deb...

Storing wealth for later is one of the hardest things to do. It is an unsolved problem, even after thousands of years. Capitalism has a strong claim to hint at a workable solution: it formulates a process in which savings can be converted into capital, capital being the lever to increase productivity, thus increasing wealth. Funnily enough, the accountants responded by starting to depreciate the capital assets, bringing it back full circle. It also necessitates capital being deployed productively. And that too is apparently not that easy either, as the current meltdown is showing.
We have an economy that uses food for vehicular fuel.

We've also politicized a baby formula shortage. Hang onto your hats.
> It was a time bomb. Cars are easier to seize than houses. Given the present shortages, re-selling them at close to the loan balance shouldn't be an issue.

Will there still be vehicle shortages if a significant number of cars are seized for resale and potentially a significant number of would be buyers are not able to obtain loans?

This.

I remember the 2008 crash and it was panic. Banks collapsing, large layoffs, hiring freezes, and a quick downturn.

Hell the pandemic downturn in spring 2020 felt worse than this. Unemployment went way up, banks were pulling back, people were being laid off. That was an artificial crash with a fairly defined end time. A normal crash does not have that.

Whatever this is, not a crash. Or at least yet.
Why don't back end engineers report to front end engineers?
As a backend service engineer, I feel it is my contractual duty to assist the frontend developer, in order that their frontend needs are met in a reliable, efficient manner. That the data models and request structures are designed for the kinds of operations that the frontend needs for common user actions.

(Or substitute another backend developer for frontend developer, in the case of deep backend-to-backend services.)

It would seem logical, therefore, that most backend teams should treat the frontend developer as their customer client. Because the frontend dev will know best what is required to build and what is required not to build. Yet no software firm in my experience ever organizes the work this way. Why?

Is it frontend's stigma as a "less technical" role, an assumption which is patently false?

Is it the administrative incentive to insert ever more middlemen and middlewomen in between the core parties? Surely there are other places to stick people, perhaps above to over-manage the frontend team. But why the incredible disconnect between frontend and backend teams? Who often report to distant chains of command.
