Ah, wasn't aware of that. Last time I was in Australia was about 10 years back, so my perception could very well be wrong.
> Outside of North America, EVERYTHING happens on WhatsApp.

I've never installed WhatsApp on my phone. If someone wants to communicate with me, it's either a phone call or Telegram. If the ability to converse is less important than installing Telegram, then apparently they didn't really need to talk to me.

For context, I'm a software developer. Other than the Jetbrains IDEs everything on my desktop is open source, and I've got no more than half a dozen apps installed on my Android device. I can almost get away without touching the the phone on weekends, save for the camera.
Right, these are more akin to sports, but burn the same mental energy as programming.

“Always go left” satisfies the first (a discrete decision) but not the second ([decision] is based upon an input having a continuous range). If the decision is preordained, it may be interesting but not relevant to the problem at hand.

I managed to work as a contractor during 2003, after that the market became better. I guess that's the tendency - employment opportunities are going to be kind of short lived.

If you didn't manage to get into a job that is business critical, then I wouldn't count on a steady job. they like to get rid of the workforce in layoff rounds. For me that was very depressing, in the end i was laid off in another of these layoff rounds.

But still there is demand for getting stuff done, and places will be more inclined to hire people specifically for a set of tasks, on a contract basis.

I still hope it is not going to get that bad; I didn't have a wife and three kids to feed back then, also I was some twenty years younger. In any event: my advice would be to keep your savings and refrain from taking up any new loans...
The whole US / EU safe harbour provisions issue is because the EU is not satisfied that in the United States you don’t in fact have a justice system that can stop the government… that there are insufficient powers to stop certain parts of the government like the the NSA, CIA, DEA, FBI counter terrorism groups etc… who are granted extraordinary powers to do questionable shit like sucking up as much internet data as possible without a warrant in the name off “efficiency” using such flimsy reasoning as “it’s only a search for legal purposes when we run a database query on a US citizens data later” and “we’re legally allowed to do anything we like with the data of anyone who isn’t a US citizen… so these EU guys can fuck off” (or the appropriate US lawyer speak equivalent)
So what's everyone's take on restarting servers every now and then?

I think that it might be something that you do occasionally (say, once a month or so) for each of your boxes, regardless of whether it's a HA system or not.

Though perhaps I can only say that because the HA systems/components (like API nodes or nodes serving files) won't really see much downtime due to clustering, whereas the non-HA systems/components (monoliths, databases, load balancers) that i've worked with have been small enough for it to be okay to do restarts in the middle of the night (or just weekends or whatever) with very little impact to anyone, even without clustering at the DB level/switchovers.

I mean, surely you do need to update the servers themselves, set aside a bit of time for checking that everything will be okay and don't try to patch a running kernel most of the time, right? I'd personally also want to restart even hypervisor or container host nodes occasionally to avoid weirdness (i've had Docker networks stop working after lots of uptime) and to make sure that restarts will result in everything actually starting back up afterwards successfully.

Then again, most of this probably doesn't apply to the PaaS folk out there, or the serverless crowd.
Galvanic is two dissimilar metals, usually with an electrolyte like wet soil or water. One metal will corrode far faster than the other e.g. zinc sacrificial anode will corrode to protect iron.

Corrosion due to electric currents is different. A few Volts in reverse and you could make iron the anode to corrode and protect a zinc cathode (Cathode and Anode depend on current direction, e.g. they swap when charging a battery).

Two parts made of the same metal can be can be corroded with an electrolyte between them, with low AC or DC voltage driving differences.
> Copyrights and parents provide assurances that spending large sums of money (millions/billions) to create new technology won’t be in vain. There are issues with both (too long copyright, patent trolls, obvious patents) but they are better than not having any protections.

That is th biggest lie of intellectual property.

Just having a patent or copyright on something does NOT guarantee income. The assurance is a perpetuated myth.

Either are only good if you can find someone willing to pay for licences.

In many cases, reality has proven that economic actors find it preferable to spend resources to avoid having to pay for licences. See all of the duplicate work in IT an patent proliferation in pharma.

Many many patents only ever had an impact on the world after they expired.
Encrypted copies for some isolated data is a good solution, but for a user record when you want to login a user, will not work. Then you would need to fetch the data from another datacenter anyway, increasing costs, latency, and operational complexity.

Specialty tools that fit vehicles you don't have. Specialty tools for operations that no one would perform by hand anymore. E.g. a cylinder honing tool.

Whitworth wrenches, sockets, taps, and dies. My dad had a British motorcycle shop around 1980 and I'm pretty sure there is still some of this in his tool boxes in the garage.

Homemade jigs whose purpose you can't even figure out.

I think the dominant category would just be extra or broken or cheap tools that aren't worth hanging on to. For some reason I have like four stubby Phillips #1 screwdrivers. Cheap hatchets with broken handles. Mushroomed lead mallets. A whole drawer of dull drill bits.

Flights were five times more expensive in the period you refer to [1]. I would bet that the number of fliers increased almost proportionally. A significant part of this cost reduction is efficiency gains, with better, lighter airplanes that consume less fuel. Airplanes are also safer today. To call all that "no appreciable movement" is unfair.

With a quick google you'll find tons of recent job posts for software engineers and drastic stats for unfilled software engineer positions. Meta, Netflix, and Twitter come to mind as big tech that are struggling, but they are stand outs because pretty much all the other tech like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, etc. are still actively hiring and happily scooping up engineers that are being laid off. The impact on the hiring market for engineers has been negligible so far.
Interesting that any CEO mentioned it, even if it is 'just' one of our military master companies.

i would think that the people who own the world would think, "hey y'all, we got it pretty good -- we probably should not all kill each other."

but i guess not.

i think they're more thinking -- meaning, the US owners are thinking:

"the world is gonna suck after we blow it up, but we'll probably be able to live a few years through the nuclear winter, and.....maybe musk will be able to launch us towards Mars real quick and we'll figure the rest out on the way.....and, we'll just jet down to New Zealand because that's so far away from everyting, it doens't even matter if the sun doesn't shine for the next twenty year."

Thanks! I think I am either going to go by Apostol or Spivak. I have had calculus years ago. I remember the mechanics faintly. I need a solid revision with the associated theory behind it. The only problem with Spivak is that it covers single variable while Apostol's two volumes cover much much more.
This is totally anecdotal, but earlier this month, in a two week period, I interviewed with 8 different companies. None of them pulled out or hinted they were pulling out. I wrote about the experience here:

https://www.observationalhazard.com/2022/05/my-experience-wi...

I bring this up to present a counter to your experience and encourage you to keep applying. While I'm doubtless many companies have/will pull back, there are also many that are continuing to hire.
Very often people committing hideous crimes are just sick! Their mind doesn’t work anymore as it was supposed to (or never did). It is immoral to punish the. Particularly harshly! Sure… we must keep them away from others but that should be it!
Great article, but I disagree with the title. We didn't fix anything, we just stopped destroying it. Nature has proved itself to be much more resilient than anything we are able to engineer.
Look at what gets put out at jumble/rummage sales and charity shops. In addition to what others posted, I see a lot of rusty screwdrivers (Phillips and slot) which everyone already has (and most of the time you're using Pozidriv or Torx anyway) and rusty spade drills.

Every once in a while you spot a good one before someone else does (pincers, a good vintage cast-iron hacksaw frame for €5, a pristine sheet metal clamp for €1), but most of it is crap.

Which does make me wonder where all the good tools go.

The eBay printouts are very useful. You can see which of the models was worth €10, and which were worth €200.

The value will change over time. Probably down, unless there are some very rare models. But it will give your friend some idea (and some terms to search for) when he contacts a local model railway dealer and asks for a quote. (Or lists everything on eBay himself.)
Your reasoning doesn't invalidate the soft reboot concept. It merely states that having soft reboot would not allow us to get rid of hard reboot, which I agree with.

It would be difficult for Isabella to be called the Catholic without being religiously subordinate to the Pope.

> Greece and Rome were all driven by their deities will as well.

This is a bizarre claim. Pagan Greece and Rome didn't have organized religion at all, not in any sense we would understand. And both were riddled with mystery cults. The Church was unified with the classical Greek State only in the same sense that it was unified with the olive oil industry, or that the modern American Church is unified with the modern American State.
Thats why you have the arbitration contract… to allow an arbiter to undo the work, with the reasoning “this isn’t what was intended”

Swedish garages are never used for cars. Their only purpose is to hold a whole lot of trash that "you may need some day". I've visited lots of houses when I was on the market, nearly all of them had a garage or basement completely full of what to me looks like trash (as the article says, to the owners, it's old stuff that has some sentimental value, of course).
We can't and shouldn't all aim to produce the Mona Lisa or Starry Night. Such expectations and perfectionism are unhealthy and often counterproductive. Sometimes you just need to showcase the product and fix the issues in beta. Going slow with low bug counts is nice sometimes and in theory, but certainly not every exception or edge case will be forseeable or preventable even with an incremental approach.
Congratulations on the launch!

I don't know, from the outside it looks pretty wild to me. With all the shooting and rioting I see why a considerable proportion of the population sees the second amendment as still being highly relevant.

It's the same thing with things like Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges. The most reasonable explanation why these are not constitutional amendments yet is that a considerable amount of Americans, at least over a third of them, simply don't agree with it.

I am fond of Starlark, the Python-like configuration language of Bazel. It's code, but they've removed most of the footguns that you encounter when using Python as configuration (e.g. you can't mutate global state).

I think it's a pleasant middle ground between config and code, it's definitely code, but limited.

> You are aware that heating is energy?

Yes. My house, that was heated by oil 2 years ago, is heated by electricity today.

> In Germany, it's not, so there's that.

Because Germany has underinvested in electricity plants that cannot be shut down by Putin.

> It would, except this has nothing to do with keeping or ditching nuclear plants.

If Germany had kept their nuclear plants electricity plants (and ideally built a number of new ones) electricity in Europe would be cheaper. Thats just supply and demand.

> The problem at hand is that you can't do this transition on a timescale of a war

I agree you cannot transition in 2 months. I talked about starting in 2014. Shutting down the plants this year is only the culiminatino of a chain of bad decisions about energy.

But I suppose in 2014, the psychological damage was already done. It appears like Germany had already decided to get rid of Nuclear after 2011 / Fukushima. This seems to be driven by fear, more than anything.

Which I suppose is the real problem. This never was about making ration decisions about energy security, being dependent on Russia, etc. All along, this was about fear of "nuclear". The rest just looks like rationalization.

Meanwhile, energy prices have gone up all over Europe, since Germany is only the biggest country to have underinvested in electricity production. Even countries that produce an excess of electricity, like Norway, have the same prices. And believe me, ACER is getting really unpopular here, I would not be surprised if Norway is out of ACER by winter.

Ask HN: What to do when the company is stretched thin?
I joined this company that has a public image of a well put together company. They have a range of products with a fairly large user-base (in the few millions).

However, once inside I find that each product is kept together by a skeleton crew or sometimes by people who can only work on it part time since they're handling multiple projects.

It feels like the bus factor for most projects is one (or very close to one).

I don't know how I feel about the situation, and management response to my question/concerns "it is what it is".

Do you think this is a huge red flag?
I think nearly everyone holds junk. Rather few go to actual minimalism. For rest they end up collecting some things marginally useful.

Popularity of such projects is the reason of imposing more and more constraints on systems that are somewhat open (at least open to use). Maybe instead of figuring out how to abuse an easy-to-use system, people should figure out how to abuse hard-to-use systems, like e.g. creation of open protocols for closed systems. That would be an actual achievement.

There's a necessary extra bit, which is that you seek to change other people's behaviour but not your own. It's critically important that we're able to hold moral positions inconsistent with our behaviour, otherwise moral discourse simply reflects peoples' desires about how they wish to live. Indeed, we see this without any unnecessary charges of hypocrisy (people's moral positions are really just positions of convenience).

The more time it passes, the less need I see for periodic restarts. For example, a few years ago I would need to restart some servers due to memory fragmentation that would cause some allocations to fail (we needed some processes to get big chunks of continuous memory). Right now it doesn't happen. Memory leaks are rarer, and in general things work well. I have some servers with more than a year uptime and still working well.
