Yes this is so annoying! I think it also sometimes happens when email addresses are communicated through speech instead of writing.

Though I tend to just block the sender domain (because they're always from services that I'm never going to use anyway) and ignore the email just on the off-chance that someone is trying to scam me in some weird way. (Plus I really just don't care enough to deal with it unless the email is clearly important or sent by an actual person)
Cooling isn’t really an issue on the M1 models. They don’t run particularly hot and don’t throttle unless you run them full-bore (e.g. synthetic benchmarks with all cores maxxed out) for at least 10 minutes straight, which would be a pretty uncommon thing for the vast majority of the target market of the Air.

It’s battery life pretty hard to compete with too. Apple claims 17 hours with typical usage and that mostly holds up in testing.
Do you think gelatin being a byproduct of other animal slaughter-based products makes it better than sourcing it by melting down hooves? (I’m not a vegan, just curious of the intent behind this comment)
I love this description so much. This is exactly what I would expect a coworker to follow. Not being someone that exists to extract as much value from their team mates or expect them to work as much as they do. But to be fair, if someone followed every item in that list I would consider them more than a 1x engineer.

Let's define a 10x engineer as someone who ships and has a disproportionate amount of impact compared to its coworkers.
I'd say most 10x engineers I've met had a real hard time detaching from work and spent most of their waking hours working. This is definitely not a life most people should follow, but I can understand it.

I've also seen 10x engineers who become so toxic that people around them end up leaving. Another example, which is depicted in The Phoenix Project, is the 10x engineer that hoards information and thus cannot be replaced or scaled. There's a lot of archetypes for 10x engineers, and not all of them are good for a team.

It reads to me like a combination of "don't feel bad for doing <x>" and "don't ever do <x>", which leads to tonal whiplash. The potshots look to me more like common sins of the nerding class than passive-aggressive indictments of a particular subset of it. I think there's something good here, but it would benefit from separation into "dos" and "don'ts" lists.
Because it’s cheaper that way. It’s generally the second most expensive component in the system.

Compression for memory on macs has probably removed a lot of this pressure to increase beyond 16gb.

For the arm solutions moving the memory on package also may be a limiting factor, since there is only so much space available.

Lastly since macs have memory fixed to the package or motherboard failure is expensive, since you’re replacing an entire system board. They have about a 1.5% afr.
I've come to think that that perspective unnecessarily conflates the design pattern with the strategy used to implement it.

Things like the GoF model for how to implement Strategy are kind of a big deal in languages that lack first class functions. But there is also universal value in the basic idea of structuring your code so that you can inject behavior from outside. It's so valuable that many languages weave it into the very fabric of their design. FP fans fixating on the complexity of things like the GoF Strategy pattern and concluding that design patterns are just a band-aid over missing language features strikes me as being like fish noticing the inconvenience of humans needing plumbing and drinking vessels to get their water, and congratulating themselves for not needing water.
Thanks for the lead. I tried. I cannot handle the music bed.
Most corporate "mid/project/release/etc"-managers are negative managers so I wouldn't mind being 1x engineer instead of "10x". At least I'm not causing damage.
You remain unconvinced that switching is pointless? Unlike most paradoxes, this is one where the intuitive answer is the correct one. It's a paradox because of the flawed, but convincing, reasoning that is given in favor of switching.
The extended range version has a 131 kWh battery, the average American household uses ~900 kWh per month. So yes, it could power your heating or cooling for days in addition to everything else. A big home central air system will pull 5 kW and won’t run 100% of the time.

I'm convinced the 10x engineer doesn't exist.

It's not that the 10x engineer is a myth - it's a fallacy. You'll find that people in the same profession (any profession) will have variance in their abilities and their return to a project, but it's a big leap to assume that someone that appears to perform much better than their peers is actually doing so in any objective sense.

The 10x engineer is more likely than not the person most familiar with the project and the codebase, knows the real reason why Mark didn't just put everything on Kubernetes or why Tanya didn't want to switch from React to Vue before leaving the team.

Or.. it's an engineer that has the ear and the faith of higher-ups in the organisation to deliver results because they're good at convincingly taking credit for them.

Generally I find that 10x engineer on here means "knows more than most about [tech stack X]" and can work quickly. That's cool if all other things are equal, but I've had to clean up more than a couple of catastrophic messes left in the wake of people that worked quickly.

Just to pre-empt someone telling me I must never have met a real 10x engineer or some other such dismissive response - I'm an average fish in an average pond. I've had people tell me how good I am in the past, both reports and managers, and have in both cases corrected them politely that I've just had more time with the problem/project/codebase than others have.

Anytime I hear someone talk about 10X engineers, let alone describing themselves as that, all it makes me think is that there's a failure of humility.

None of this belittles Fabrice Bellard. Or John Carmack. Or Chris Lattner. Or [known and respected programmer]. Their achievements speak for themselves.

You could give names of people in the field all day. There's a lot of us around. How many of the self-described or colleague-described "10X engineers" floating around are Linus Torvalds?

Debian's amazing. I've been using it on and off for more that 25 years now. I've used it on x86/amd64, ARM, Sparc and even S390. I've tried Ubuntu, I've worked with various flavours of RH and SLES. But I keep coming back to Debian.

Absolutely NO, because FLOSS does not means someone else work for free, my proposal is that ANY State hire people to develop public software, with public money for the States needs. Simply.

BTW the same principle apply to weapons: beside private hand weapons and ammo all others must be ONLY a PUBLIC-ONLY show with the State that have internal research, production etc to avoid lobby pushes to go to war for business reasons.

The one thing that keeps me using Macs for my laptop is hardware: the touchpad. If there's a non-Mac laptop out there that has a touchpad that comes even close to rivaling that of a MacBook I'd love to know what it is because I've not found it for myself.

When I'm using my laptop, I'm typically in situations where I'm not using a mouse, and the MacBook touchpad is lightyears ahead of anything else I've ever used. As far as I'm concerned, it's perfect.

Ask HN: Visualizing software designs, especially of large systems (if at all)?
I learned about UML in a course, but have never used it or seen it in practice as a junior developer. Sometimes I'll see a flowchart, but that's not too common. Is this the same in other companies?

With some of our code, the designers are either gone or sometimes unavailable, and it can be tricky to see how all the pieces fit together. A good IDE makes the job a little easier (finding references, ctrl+click to go to declarations, etc.), but it'd be nice to have a diagram or something for visualization.

So, is it a good idea to try documenting the code design through some sort of visualization? If so, using UML or something else? I suppose there might be tools for doing this automatically in some languages? Otherwise I think if it was valuable enough, it could be something we make sure to review and update along with code changes.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Even if you think objectively, in this case, he's most likely underpaid and undervalued by the startup.

1. He's working much longer hours than he's paid for, probably for pie-in-the-sky options that 95% chance won't amount to a true pay-off for his hustle

2. He doesn't seem to have advocated for himself or his own happiness, he's going along with this burnout inducing program

3. He's clearly modest -- he's been coding for ~10 years and he's in his mid-20's. That is a highly employable situation in our field, he could easily get another job IMO.

So can a diesel or propane generator, and they can do it indefinitely, and for much cheaper.

EVs (and consumer solar to a large extent) are an elaborate and clever ruse to externalize the costs of maintaining a weak and aging power infrastructure grid on to consumers while actually reducing energy independence (reliance on rare and expensive parts to fix batteries and proprietary equipment). The environmental "benefits" are far from a foregone conclusion also - how many precious metals are mined under slave-labor conditions to create battery storage? What happens to them en masse at end of life?

Sure makes for great virtue signaling to drive a 3/4 ton "electric" truck though. The smug feelings EV owners enjoy apparently suspend all logic and common sense.
Or very, very wrong, since it's Ford and they cannot meet demand for a truck.

I'm going to use the word "container" because these days "docker" is really just a company that pushed them forwards but there are a bunch of different container types now.

Containers are really more about packaging and isolating applications in a standard way that is tech-stack agnostic. If your entire company runs .NET and the entire company deploys with DLLs in specific directories then you've got some of the benefits already. Containers take it a step further though, it's no longer something .NET, Python, Ruby, and Go developers all do differently - containers wrap around all of those.

Because containers are standard and agnostic to whats inside them you can also securely isolate without them even having to care about it. If your application writes files to a temp directory, you don't need to worry about another application also writing to that directory. If your application uses a particular port you don't need to worry about another .NET application also wanting to use that port. Suddenly you've gone from shipping oddly shaped boxes of different sizes and dimensions, and you've now just put everything from a car to 100,000 packets of M&M's into a standard package, the shipping container.

The ship doesn't give a crap what's inside each container, and the crew don't need to worry about figuring out the best way to fit everything in, they just know how many containers they can take, load them up, and go.

Whoever's responsible for your infrastructure no longer cares if you use .NET. You can decide to branch out into a bit of machine learning and use cobble together a model in python and all you need to do is create the container properly (Docker being a nice way of doing it). You hand the container to your infrastructure or infra team, request the right amount of resources, and it's there running very happily.

You also get some benefits around dependency management from this, such as deps are pulled in at container build time. Great! Now as long as that container image is around, you never have to resolve those deps again, there's no chance they will ever change under your feet for that container, and if they disappear you can still run the older versions of the containers as often as you like. That's not just the same for NuGet packages though, if you depend on an OS package like OpenSSL you don't need to worry that some other person will update it and it'll break your app.

Dependency management is almost a side-effect of the concept of containers, it's a great addition but the point was always standardising packaging and deployment of applications as a whole regardless of their technology.

> I would argue lenders like better.com are winning so much business is because they simplify the process.

I feel like if somebody picks a lender and gets sent a stack of paperwork, they're committed. They're not going to back out "because the paperwork is too complicated" and choose a competitor, and ask their sales people "How long is your paperwork?"

So I'd be skeptical that "complexity of the legal agreement" is at all a factor.
These aren’t fitness instructors. The trainer in this medical setting is someone that has you perform exercises to restore mobility rather than for general fitness. There’s certainly a link between the two but that’s not why you go to a hospital to work out.

Kinesiology is the study of how the body moves. While the largest target audience for that is going to be people looking for a standard gym fitness trainer, the higher degrees are wasted on that sort of thing and are better used to restore the range of motion of an elbow after a car accident.
"Pandora is an analysis framework to discover if a file is suspicious and conveniently show the results."

But what does it do exactly?

The readme contains a lot of install instructions but very little explanation what the purpose of the tool actually is. It uses libreoffice.. so... office documents that are.. suspicious? Whatever that means.

If you head over to the public instance, you discover a file upload and nothing else.
"Drop suspicious file here".. okay?

Then there's a button labelled "advanced" which shows toggles for different modules. These do provide a tiny bit of insight regarding the purpose of the tool but it's still very much unclear.

This is sad because I'm sure it's a great project.
I just have absolutely no clue what it does.

Would it be possible to extend the readme with a "Why would I use this?" section explaining the purpose of the tool with some basic example use-cases?
>The MacBook Air has an SOC. It’s literally not possible to socket the ram

Hardware engineer here: It is totally technically possible to have a SoC and socketed RAM.

> If nobody in the system will enforce or defend your rights, then do you really even have those rights?

Nobody is a stretch. They can be enforced, just at great expense. So some people can defend those rights; others can’t.

We can’t extend this to the latter not having the rights because people intervene on behalf of others’ legal cases all the time, there are non-profits set up to do this (e.g. the ACLU and EFF) and some wealthy retired lawyers’ pass times.
For anyone else (like me) who doesn't know what this is, it seems like the website is http://4coder.net
I remember an Aussie game developer on YouTube uses this editor. I hadn't heard of it before, but it seemed interesting. I eventually settled on learning Emacs instead, because 4coder was closed-source at the time. No regrets. Now I'm probably with Emacs for life. Too unique. Too powerful. Too customizable.

Side note: it's funny how formerly closed-source projects always open up to have tons of spaghetti code and bad design planning.

Not sure what you mean about shitty hardware.

Yes, SSD and RAM are soldered so you're limited to what you get at buy time.

Otherwise there's really no need for cooling on an M1 Air. It stays passively cool even at full sustained CPU usage. I suspect the lack of touchscreen is considered good by a majority of users but I might be off here. Broken keyboard? In terms of laptop keyboards, this might lose to the 2015 Macs and maybe Thinkpads but that's it.

Battery can be replaced by any corner IT shop, or by yourself or a knowledgeable friend. I've replaced a few. A friend of mine who's not technical in any way has replaced his.
I don't know. I'm an expert (at some things, anyway), and I make $68 an hour. Maybe an attorney isn't billing 100% of the time, but if they billed six hours a week they'd make more than I do. That feels like a lot of money.

The latter problem is more interesting, although as written they're meeting to compare wallets with this game, so both wallets should logically be empty.

But assuming a more surprise situation in which the game is suggested* the reasoning is pretty good for both if they're happy with a 50% chance at doubling their money + X. But I think maybe its the hidden prize that makes the logic work (or not work)? For one of them the prize is less then double their money (a prize they'd never win but still) so the deal isnt a good deal. Not sure how the math works for that, but a contest where you might win 2a or less then 2a is presumably a different reasoning.

*Where similar to the first point we should assume the suggesters wallet is empty.

Regarding the salient point of "Don't buy a home warranty":

I guess it should always have been obvious that the most profitable product to sell is "nothing", AKA most types of insurance and warranty. At this point it's optimized to the point of the computer telling customer service peons whether it's "worth" entertaining your claim. Ethics and actual customer service have gone out the window.
The M1 Macbook Air is far and away the best laptop I've ever owned. Cooling is great, touchscreens are a waste of time, there's nothing wrong with the keyboard and the built-in battery is industry standard now, like as not.
