When I was in school 'computer engineering' was the degree you wanted for that level of understanding. It was a blend of 50/50 computer science and electrical engineering. You'd learn enough analog EE to understand transistors and enough digital EE to understand logic and computer architecture (this is really where you learn the gory details of how a CPU works internally). Then you'd focus on enough CS to flesh out low level OS, systems programming, etc. to make it all work. Basically learn enough to go from nothing but a circuit diagram to a computer booting up a display with a login prompt for an OS you designed and built, on hardware you designed and built.
No, no problem, if it is just for me, I figured that if this can be crowdsourced effectively it would really clean up the search results and that is worth it if enough people start using it.

It might even be enough to stick it on github or gitlab and start accepting pull requests against a starter list.
If you really want to view mails in Firefox, you should do this in a dedicated profile that has JavaScript and outgoing connections disabled.
Recruiters.

I really wish next one could be big tech but it seems ever the more elusive… I just want to be in a proper engineering culture for once instead of having to fight for the basics…

Yes - someone make something for macOS/linux that’s actually usable
Same here. I don't code with somebody looking over my shoulder. Can't perform that way. :)
But that means you have to have access to a server that runs constantly (I currently i do that as well for my work mail with muchsync) and you're just one step away from running a Mailserver. I'd like to move away from that solution because it feels hackish and overkill (sync from email server to "server", ssh into server for reading email)

Also I frequently need to search my when e.g. on a plane so the ssh solution doesnt work.
Seriously! I've considered going back to contracting just so that I could fully fund a 401k account.
I don't have Mac, I'm a Linux user but many if my colleagues have Macs, some of them are M1. And the arm thing is really a pain, much more than the difference between OSes. Just a random example: we have some app which uses MySQL 5.7, and we use MySQL in docker for integration tests. Unfortunately MySQL 5.7 won't run on arm (current workaround: they use a mariadb image, which is apparently good enough, and the CI would catch any difference). There are many small things like this, I would currently not recommend using those new Macs until things improve if you want to avoid wasting time on uninteresting issues.
Funniest part were Brits living in Spain, going to UK to vote in favor of Brexit and then being surprised when later Spain was sending them back to UK.
One of the pains I've experienced over ~1 decade as a professional SWE is that a lot of dependencies aren't really maintained. Many of the times I've diagnosed an issue in one of our dependencies only to find that the maintainer isn't really present or interested in upstreaming.

Many companies are uninterested in forking and maintaining their own version either
I'm holding out for Web8.
Yeah, but guess who encourages debt.

> New CRISPR-based map ties every human gene to its function

The title would be so much better if s/its/a/.

There is no way we'll have an operative map from "all" genes to function anytime soon. Sometimes hundreds of genes work together, interact with other microbiomes we contain or our environment to produce what might seem to be a "simple" quality like height.
The historical portion of this article is misleading and relies on Western people’s lack knowledge of the region. It makes you think that Sweden then was Sweden today, a neutral peaceful country. In reality, Sweden had spent the previous century invading and destroying Central and Eastern Europe. It was so destructive that some historians estimate the damage in Poland exceeded that of World War 2.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluge_(history)

Peter the Great indeed did “take back” the land from Sweden, which Sweden had conquered from Russia about a century beforehand.

Nyenschantz was built in 1611 to establish Swedish rule in Ingria, which had been annexed from the Tsardom of Russia during the Time of Troubles.

"So pirating streamed games is both significanttly harder, and requires breaking more laws. "

This is not what I intended to mean ( although clearly I left too much to interpretation ). What I thought I was saying was 'Even if there is a perfect digital lock, there is always the human component.'

edit: laws part; i misread the comment
I think warnings like this are good and necessary. A lot of people are going to ignore this warning simply because they wrongly believe they're good enough to ignore it. And they're going to try and write this massive project simply to prove that the warning doesn't apply to them. And they will serve as great examples of why that warning is there in the first place.

But there's another group. This group heeds the warning. They do their best to not violate the warning. But then they run into an issue. They exhaust every possible option trying to resolve the issue. But eventually, they realize that if they can violate the warning, just a little bit. And they're careful. And they violate the warning in the least way possible and take every action deliberately. And it works.

Because the warning doesn't mean it's impossible, it just means that it is incredibly difficult and should be approached with the utmost care.

Eventually, we do learn the pitfalls, internalize them, abstract them away, etc. And then we can even do away with the warning. Because it's no longer the edge of the universe, it's just another stop along the way.
Apparently they haven’t fixed it yet, so a hardware solution may in fact not be possible, but is there any reason to believe it couldn’t be patched in “microcode”?

Who can guess at the performance impact, but one could imagine a configurable mechanism capable of disabling speculation past a PAC authentication.
> but what if Putin is offed or dies suddenly and the populace, driven to such jingoist frenzy that it lost all sense of reality and actually believes they can take on NATO and win, puts an even more evil and reckless "rebuilder of empire" on the throne?

That seems like a job for the Russian propaganda machine. Just as they manipulated malleable minds towards one idea, they can do it towards another: "We were never at war with NATO".

I think the authors quote on the top of the page was potential inspiration of this website https://tools.suckless.org and it's tools. The suckless.org url showed up multiple times in hn-search, but they did not get upvotes like this one. As I understand it's pretty low-level stuff. But I find surf (browser) quite compelling, mostly because of default no-tabs and full screen for less distraction.
Meat comes from animals, you say? There is a big difference between killing farm animals bred for the purpose, and killing wild animals. Most egregious is the killing of endangered orangutans and monkeys [0][1]. Also, most people are aware that meat comes from animals, but few are aware of how many animals and their habitats are destroyed to grow crops.

And did you know that fires set by the agriculture industry in Indonesia puts out more CO2 than America, some days? [2] And that's just Indonesia.

In addition to the omission of studies about plant based diets, it glosses over the main concern.

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

You could make a similar argument about slavery, the reason we abolished it has nothing to do with productivity estimations.
Libraries are generally larger because they are usually written for more use-cases. If your program is only referencing a small portion of a library, then rolling your own doesn't mean rewriting the library. Your code will be more minimal because it's only written for your program.

Assuming you're fallible and write code with exploits like everyone else, your program will probably have different exploits from mine. An attacker won't be able to target a widely used library and enjoy being able to pick from several targets. Instead, they'll have to tailor an attack for your code base. Each exploit found yields less of a reward, which will frustrate less motivated attackers.
For large apps yes; all Sass compile options are slow with embedded Sass being the least slow BUT:

Does your tooling even support embedded Sass?! Vite does not. Our version of webpack does not.. The Cenobites would LOVE Sass; never ending performance pain.
The Netherlands weren't founded with slavery as a core tenant though. It was something that largely happened in the colonies, far away from the bulk of the population, and once freed they were no longer of any concern.

It would have been different if they had shipped in enormous numbers of slaves to work the Polders and then had to find something for them to do once they were emancipated. This is why the US has so many lingering issues, when the slaves were freed the former masters realized very quickly that they would lose power should they organize, and thus had to immediately set up numerous systems of oppression to prevent this from happening. I'm guessing the former slaves were a fairly tiny minority of the population and thus never a danger to the ruling class so there was no need to actively oppress them.
As a former union bargaining-unit negotiator, asking for C-level execs to be fired is too big of an ask, especially done via petition.

They'd be better off either trying to form a bargaining unit and attempt to get management to rollback on the performance management changes.
I'm surprised they haven't seen core infrastructure within Russia collapse due to "independent" actors. (E.g., power grid shutdowns in Moscow; refineries venting poison gas into populated areas; perfectly timed forest fires; pretty much everything the DHS says would be trivial for terrorists to do in the US.)
Y’all Americans are so lucky mehn, get to petition about removing execs when we in Africa struggle to even get jobs. Life’s journey fair tbh.
Please read bout NATO expansion and the end of its non-aggression stance since the 90s.

This is not what the Dot Collector was intended for. It was intended for live discussions debating market conditions. Bridgewater would use it so participants could rate and then aggregate.

For instance there are 10 people in a meeting and Person 1 is talking about the Bank of Japan effect on the EUR/USD. The other 9 would rate that person on this specific topic in terms of "credibility, experience, etc...". The results would then be displayed after all people talked and were given so the team could come to a consensus on correct action.

Brilliant if used correctly. Does not sound like it's being used as intended.

I’m wondering whether that can be taken as an objective truth.
How much time would it take to replace those thousand lines? A week (assuming well tested and production-ready is a requirement)? If keeping it costs a couple hours of debugging once a month, the return on that week would take years to turn positive.
Yeah, I'm sure the people living there will be all reich with that.

Sure. But even if Germany falters, the Baltics, the EU Nordics (maybe even Norway though), as well as Poland will be there as soon as it would be possible.
I dunno, Vivaldi is quite good. Or did you mean open source? In which case I 100% agree. Still full of tools that are only usable by masochists and the people that wrote them.
Appreciate the lead, but it's still a kind of inflation when you have to jump through more hoops to get the good price.
Yeah, the combination of offline access on multiple computers sounds tricky.

Offline access on a single computer is basically a core usecase notmuch was designed for.

Online access from multiple computers is trivial by writing a shell script that pretends to be notmuch but instead runs the real notmuch command on a remote machine through SSH. (Same trick applies to sending email too.) Works surprisingly well.

Have you found anything that does offline access across multiple computers well?
In the short term, a lot of gene therapy focuses on the set of diseases where the repair really does seem to be "change this one base" and there are no side effects due to complex, unknown gene interactions or other unexpected phenomena. m And nearly all of it (I haven't looked at the details in a while) is just treatment (IE, injections of a gene therapy in a post-birth individual), rather than preventive by germline manipulation, which IMHO

It's likely that for the time being we'll only use gene therapy for things which are recognized as devastating diseases and the treatment is extremely reliable; germline modification for enhanced attributes in typical individuals is still a fairly out-there concept that would probably get panned in the media.

The whole meat vs plant-based thing has become just as polarized as the rest of politics. Actually, it's super weird how actually political partisan diets have become.

Make a list of left/democrat foods and a list of right/republican foods. It's not hard. It's super weird that this is not hard.
Because the company chooses to have a policy that mandates employees live within a viable commute radius of an office located in the city. I don't know why companies can't just take responsibility for their decisions.

Or the company can walk down to city hall and tell them to build more housing, because they're unable or unwilling to pay enough for people to live in a viable radius.

Or the company can relocate or establish a satellite office in a lower cost of living area.

Or the company can pay people commensurately with the cost of living in the area.

Or the company can deal with the inevitable attrition of their workforce as it happens, all the while denying that they have any agency and deflect blame onto individuals.
NATO did escalate with Russia since the fall of the USSR. Even former Bush admins protested against this.
"Your honor, this man, doing business as "weed.com", collected the proceeds from four thousand individual sales of marijuana from his office at 123 Fake Street."

It's illegal to do that. What's the defense, it's legal to do that somewhere else?

That part of the justice system doesn't play around. There are people in jail for felony murder for selling the baggies to the guy who sold the drugs to the guy who overdosed.
Yeah, I expect it will turn into a game and companies will just explode the number of positions so "Software Engineer 1" will become

Software Engineer 1b (70k-80k)
Etc...
The issue there is that G-Suite's OAuth2 implementation doesn't yet support PKCE.
It's really impressive for a technology that started out as a student project to bring cheaper microcontrollers to younger students.
I think that's the most likely outcome. Google already pushes the current WebKit version of Chrome for iOS hard and that will only intensify once a Blink-based version is possible. Even if Mozilla goes on an all-out marketing blitz to try to boost usership a Gecko-based Firefox for iOS, I don't think they stand a chance. The number of eyeballs seeing Chrome promotions is simply too much greater than those seeing Firefox promotions.

It would be nice if Gecko were the only alternative engine available on iOS, because that'd be a huge boost for overall web engine diversity but it's hard to envision a scenario in which that happens.

Yes I am familiar, and also aware of propaganda as a concept. Having lived in Ukraine, that’s a part of the world that I understand. What’s the implication you’re making here? I’m not really following what conclusion you’re expecting me to reach.
They do a good job but the scheduling aspects are really really fuzzy.

LLVM and GCC both have models of out of order pipelines but other than making sure they don't stall the instruction decoder it's really hazy whether they actually do anything.

The processors themselves are designed around the code the compilers emit and vice versa.

More like: Pay bands go up. Company cuts 15% of workforce "to achieve better numbers"

Every time you read that headline, the company could have just cut pay by 15% and gotten the same profitability. Higher pay will force medium-small companies to hire less people

Some SV companies make Billions in profits per quarter. Some don't. I've seen far too many employees try to justify why they should be making Meta compensation elsewhere. It doesn't and shouldn't work that way
I also experienced a good amount of motion sickness, likely attributed to the input lag but also due to the narrow field of view which I couldn't find an option to change.
Please read about Soviet expansion, and the existence of sovereign nations freed from Russian control since the 90s.
My point is that the supply of RoR engineers is limited and dwindling. It’s not sustainable long term. Maybe 37Signals thinks otherwise…

II point: Russian Fed. have the vastest natural resources of the planet in their land. Alone it's fable it's industrial system is not much developed since Soviet era and internal corruption do the rest, BUT with a strong partner, let's say EU (the best tech/industry skills in the world) OR China (the most intensive industrial-State in the world) it's next to be unstoppable.

In the recent past Russia have made various proposals, at least two to the EU to enter the EAEU (EurAsian union) in a fair partnership, one to the USA: enter NATO. All was declined.

What Russia Fed. can do than? Well, the potential partners are on three of it's border: EU, the best. China the most stable. India, the least reliable. Few minors of course, but nothing of similar strength. They try the west first. A fail. They try the est: a suffert success. That's is.

To ensure their own safety and development they need to rebuild the territorial and human extent of Soviet Union, at least to compensate China, they have tried with various degree of success in central Asia, but China is a competitor there. They have collected interesting partnerships in Iran and Africa, but both are not that strong, then they can go to their west. Surely easter-european countries are not that pleased BUT the post-Soviet (not)free-market corruption and destruction is not less strong so some will be against, some will be for.

That's a SIMPLE clear game.

The least simple is understanding neoliberals intentions. Their enemy is China and knowing they lost EU they decide (it's clear from actual economical flagellum) to destroy the EU thanks to local corrupted élites. It's not clear how they can think to been able to counter China WITH Russia allied to it. With EAEU extended to the EU China have an unsafe border with a historic enemy, but like that...
Obama actually said back in 2014 he didn't give weapons to Ukraine because it would lead them to a useless attrition war that they would lose anyway.
