I think the issue is that f-strings have nothing specifically to do with regex specifically, or parsing generally. They're a formatting API. So the complaint that you wish the formatting API made regexes a first class citizen is odd and suggests a misunderstanding somewhere.
Unfortunately for you being a recent graduate but the rest of us experienced folks knew that a recession was looming. Anyone thinking we'd get out of the pandemic without a recession isn't that familiar with business or economics.

Kudos to them for not ghosting you and letting you know they're not hiring. That's being up-front, honest, and respectful. Don't expect that from everybody.

As for advice - recessions make for tough markets for inexperienced people. Companies tend to hire fewer people and the people they do hire they prefer they have a proven track record. Your bargaining chip is your price. Your inexperience makes you cheaper and if you can somehow demonstrate you can do the work you may find people willing to take a chance on you.

Good luck!

Actually it is the opposite: it is harder to test software.

Software fuzzing is more difficult as function parameters can be (literally) infinitely more complicated to define (e.g., variable length strings), whereas logic test vectors are 1's and 0's (a lot of them, but a finite number).

I've yet to see a fuzzing library that could handle all possible combinations of State, even with judicious mutex support.

I don't know what older Roombas were like, but mine does a really good job.

It doesn't pick up a lot of trash on one pass, but it makes many passes. Even with many passes, it sometimes misses stuff that my old big vacuum would have picked up, but I run it every day or every other day.

The carpets stay really, really clean.

A side benefit -- to me -- is that I need to keep the floors Roomba-ready. If you leave laundry, cables, etc. on the floor, you've got a problem. YMMV if you have family; with some visitors, I can't use the Roomba at all.

A Star Trek Bridge Commander (2002) type game on a modern engine with minimal gameplay changes.

There seems to be nothing like it since - combat with large complex ships where everything is about power management, positioning, and strategically targeting the components of other vessels.

Divert power to shields? Your weapons recharge slower. Divert power to engines? Other systems are hampered linearly. Fighting a fast ship? Target their engines. It’s tough to describe because there’s no games out there that come close.

The mod community over the years ported nearly every sci-fi ship out there from Star Wars, Stargate, BSG, etc and actually made some effort to balance them.
Context: I’ve been working with iOS full time since a few years before Swift came out.

A few startups ago we built our app using SwiftUI 1.0. At that time, while 90% of it was fantastic, 10% was either unworkable or extremely unreliable, causing for some maddening bugs. The documentation was laughable so for these reasons I chose to do the app for a subsequent startup in UIKit.

Fast forward to my most recent company; decided to give SwiftUI another shot (targeting iOS 14 & SwiftUI 2). I am 100% glad we did. It’s been pretty incredible; we’ve built a reasonably complex banking app at a pace not possible with UIKit. The animations in particular are crazy good to work with; we’ve got some very complex animated flows that would have taken weeks and thousands of lines with UIKit… with SwiftUI it was about 5 days.

It’s definitely not without its downsides; documentation is still slim at best, but there’s plenty of blogs and resources (https://swiftui-lab.com/ is the most helpful IMO) available now. There are also still some maddening bugs that appear in production and take a day or two of head scratching only to discover it’s a bug in the framework (most recently; using #available causes code to crash on the platform it’s protecting against lol), but there are always workarounds. Still, time wasted on these has been vastly outweighed by the weeks / months of time saved.

Finally, you can always use UIKit as an escape hatch through UIViewRepresentable.

iOS 15 is at 85% adoption, so we plan to drop support for 14 somewhat soon, which will give us an even more robust framework as well as async await APIs. Not feasible for most companies I know, but even supporting 14+ Will be pretty reasonable when iOS 16 drops in September.
> I want my parents to pass their problem down to me and my siblings. I think forcing parents to tidy up or downsize can be cruel. Why be selfish and needlessly make my parents sad?

Lots of people downsize before retiring because they don't want to be encumbered by a bunch of junk. It's a lot of work to live in a house surrounded by stuff. It's work to maintain the stuff, it makes it harder to clean, you have to have a larger living space to house it, etc. All of these things are harder on the elderly once they can't move around or do physical work as easily anymore.

It's also not just parents to children. Parents don't typically pass away at once. Often enough it's one spouse leaving a pile of their things for their partner to live with. That can be a weighty reminder of grief and once they pass getting rid of any of their things can be too emotionally heavy to cope with.
Ask HN: Paste URL onto text to create a hyperlink
Slack has this fantastic feature: when you have a valid URL in your clipboard and you select a piece of text (in the window where you write messages) and press CTRL+V, the selected text is not replaced with the URL from clipboard but instead the selected text is turned into a hyperlink pointing to that URL.

How would you call this feature?

Is there maybe a browser extension that would do the same in a browser?
I watched a youtube video about VStacks and Spacers and I was having fun making real layouts my first hour in - with a fast, live preview environment. That was my "oh wow" moment. What's the equivalent with UIKit? Interface Builder is nothing like what's now possible with SwiftUI. I've tried IB in the past and it was not for me.

These things work in tandem: the base system is pinned, but can also be easily updated with an OTA. Packages existing outside that set are resolved on-demand, and are thus updated when components in a package are run after a new version is published to the package repository.
Uh. I went to that site. Yeah. Don't.
It may have a easier ramp-up, but it also has a huge cliff at the end of the ramp. Once you step off the happy path you're in for an even more daunting experience than UIKit, because SwiftUI doesn't give you much to get below the magic when you need to. Also, previews are fairly constantly broken in my experience. Interface builder has its problems too, but at least it renders the nib every time.
If you are okay with trading life in a vacuum with life under pressure: Barotrauma [0]

> Barotrauma is a 2D co-op survival horror submarine simulator, inspired by games like FTL: Faster Than Light, Rimworld, Dwarf Fortress and Space Station 13. It’s a Sci-Fi game that combines ragdoll physics and alien sea monsters with teamwork and existential fear.

You have roles in your submarines, such as a medic, mechanic, engineer, captain. Everyone can do the same things, but some are better than others at different things.

If you have time, you can build your own submarine. The game also has a good amount of mods available.

Quick note: The game is in "Early Access".

I take it you haven't been paying attention to US politics around early voting and vote-by-mail this last couple of years. :(

PS: the disadvantage of fixing vote-by-mail is that voting is run by 50 states, with wildly different standards in each (and some run by politicians that are opposed to the entire concept.) Whereas a Federal election-day holiday is at least just one vote by Congress.
While it wasn't perfect, I really enjoyed the brief existence of Tribes Ascend. It makes me hopeful someone else is going to pick up the genre, maybe even the license.

That's a charming story. It reminds me of skid-patch calculations on fixed gear bikes.

If you have ride a brakeless track bike and "stop" or slowdown the bike by skidding, there's certain gear ratios that you'll want to avoid. Basically, in skidding, you unweight the rear wheel by moving your body forward and lock the position of your cranks. The rear wheel will then skid and you can end up with a flat spot of wear on your tire (assuming your don't face-plant yourself when you do it wrong). The fewer the number of skid patches for your gear-ratio, the more rapid the wear-down on the tire will be.

There's even a calculator for this... https://www.bikecalc.com/skid_patch_calculator

If you're over 35, please, just use brakes and keep the track bike on the track! (stupid dangerous examples of skidding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9xQcMniV84, don't do it).

I was talking with some friends the other day about EVE Online and its failed console shooter counterpart DUST 514. the premise was going to be that both games take place in the same shared universe with the same shared economy and at some point console shooter players would be able to in some way participate in conflicts that affect things for the PC space/economy sim players. it didn't really pan out that way, and to this day the only lasting legacy of DUST 514 is its brief appearance in John Wick.

the idea of having multiple games, each with its own separate playstyle (and therefore player demographic), that are connected somehow by a shared economy and game-world, is endlessly fascinating to me, and I don't know why more attempts at this have been made yet, aside from obvious design complexity issues.

Very misleading analysis here. First of all, the obvious: Sweden should not be compared with an average European country, but with its peers. It is richer and has a much different weather and population density compared to all the big countries which the author incessantly compares it to. And in fact, if you compare Sweden with its Scandinavian peers, it fared much worse. In the only part where he addresses it, he says this:

> Although the determination of pro-mandate fanatics to exclusively compare Sweden to other Scandinavian countries is nonsensical, the 2021 excess mortality rates show Sweden with lower numbers than both Finland and Denmark.

Well, when a bigger proportion of your vulnerable population died in 2020, it's not surprising that in the subsequent year you see a decrease.

The author also seems confused about the causes for the lockdowns in all the other countries. Unlike Sweden, most of them reached a threshold where further spread of the disease would mean hospitals exceed capacity. It's simply incorrect to use the number of deaths as the single measure of effectiveness of lockdowns, as the true counterfactual would be countries that did no lockdowns and also had their healthcare system collapse.
It's not secret it's explicit. And sure it's not constrained only to foreign policy, but any criticism of Israel in general.

Any powerful nation essentially acts this way, so it's not unique to Israel. It's not about religion, it's about a nation conducting policies and politics in their self-interest, and people that oppose these actions that go against their own political, national or self-interest. Labels thrown around to block criticism of Israel try to obscure this. I get it, you support them. But it is clear there are organizations whose sole purpose is pushing propaganda and interference to suppress this criticism such as the ADL. They have a huge track record of pushing pro-Israel propaganda and attacking those critical of Israel.

>scanning the internet for publications who have taken an anti-israel's-foreign-policy stance

It's not solely the ADL, the Israeli government itself funds these types of efforts.

I don't see this any different than how the US funds NGO's to promote pro-western political organizations, or Russian has influence ops to support pro-Russian interests in West.

It'll be a wild combination of high-adrenaline shooting and platforming that also challenges your rythm sense - the best dance game ever!

Solution: go to a local credit union (not a bank) and ask to speak to a manager. Explain your situation and that you want to fix it but can't.

Many credit unions can open a no-frills checking account as essentially a probationary account for you that you can convert into whatever you want after a few months of good history.

Thanks! I hope Crystal continues to grow, as a language and in terms of popularity. I always liked the ergonomics of Ruby, but never had a reason to actually get into it. Nowadays, I find myself wanting to produce binaries of little utilities I need, and (my main language) Julia isn't great for that (as yet!).
I'm hoping Crystal fills that gap while being equally fun to use.

Ask HN: How do you deal with a team that refuses to agree on procedures?
Hi.

I work at a small startup (<10 employees, 3 engineers including myself) and we have a gigantic product (410k lines of code according to `wc app/*/* -l`) built over the past 5 years largely by two of such engineers. Since joining the team last year I noticed that things still work as they (presumably) worked in 2017: there's no formal specification of tasks, defined expectations, or even a consensus on which tool to use to keep track of what everyone is doing at any given time. This causes technical debt to go unaddressed besides "we'll do it next month" which never comes, features being left in PRs for months because priorities shift all the time, and just a general stress of having zero predictability in your job.

Since joining we've discussed the issue many times, each of them coming out with a different solution that turns out to not work. We tried SCRUM (didn't work because there were no clear requirements so it was impossible to estimate anything), Kanban (didn't work because we didn't spend time figuring out a system that works within Kanban due to the pressure of delivering new features), and ended up settling on "everyone does whatever the fuck but send a manually written report / essay of what you did on Teams at the end of your day and hope the CEO reacts with a thumbs up".

I've only been a software engineer for 5 years, but this is a situation I've never encountered and have no idea how to tackle anymore. The people are nice and the pay is good so I'd rather not stress over getting a new job if possible.
BattleTanx was such a weird game and I loved it.

My orthodontist had it running on an N64 in the lobby. Something about the N64/PS1 era delighted in weird and insane weapons. An updated version (with a better plot) would be amazing.
