You don't "suddenly" notice that someone is an asshole. You just know it, and avoid them as much as you can.

If someone is friendly with you for months, years, and then suddenly becomes cold, that's not because you're an asshole - it's because of some incident that either they witnessed, or was gossiped to them.

When everyone around you reacts this way almost at once, you know for sure that it was gossip.

If I'd spoken to this person along the lines of "OMG WTF are you saying dude that's so stupid" rather than "Actually I think person X had a good point about trying this approach - it would solve X and Y and Z all at once", I'd be inclined to believe that it was just me.

Person X was actually the CTO, so I thought it was a safe topic, but I'd misunderstood the shadow power structure. It turned out the guy I was speaking to had more power (at least over me anyway), and was opposed to the CTO.
Exactly. This is the same reason I garden. Physical work is just freeing sometimes.
Is it that hard to imagine that some people enjoy working?
thanks, that worked!
That’s actually a decent ad.
I think you have it backwards. Here is an alternative, not very popular, but maybe that's what you want. I started at Digg, it got overran with normies, then went to reddit, same thing, now hackernews is filled with normies.

HN has always been a Startup site, but us programmer geeks also have interest in tech. Now people post their projects and don't even explain what they are or anything, and regular news shows up here too.. why?
" It is not a job title that you print on a business card, ... no DevOps is a culture that must be lived."

not sure why you say it is not a job title, you can say it is a culture for sure, but devops engineer is a real job position, basically someone in the team takes care of the dev cycle process... in the context of a software company, it is different to other positions (product_owner, project_manager, developer, QA_engineer, designer.)

Regardless of much 3D API hate Apple gets around here, small reminder that game consoles never cared for Khronos APIs either, any junior engine dev is quite capable to write a pluggable 3D engine, and it isn't even what is more relevant on a full blown game engine.

I found Sketchup helps plan larger items where there are dimension constraints like a built-in for a closet or a workbench. Once you learn enough (and restrain yourself from becoming an "expert") of the tool it can be easier/faster to plan things out than pencil and paper. It could be that as a rookie, Sketchup lets me experiment with things where if I had a few projects under my belt of the same type I could just get rough dimensions jump in.

I do love heading into the shop and just making something though.
Have to say I'm not at all impressed with Pine as a whole. Their stuff is no support, bad documentation, lack of claimed functionality. They make hardware and then tell the community "whoop, you do OUR hard work".

And if you don't like because they misrepresented functionality, then they point at the sign "developer hardware"... And it's all dev hardware.

And they even sell dead and irrecoverable (without soldering/hacking) on devices like the pinephone keyboard/battery. Or how dare you use the phone usb-c port when on the keyboard - if you do, you fry the charging chip and possibly the battery.

Or that the rockpro64 is said to be able to boot with eMMC rather than microSD. But when you try to, it doesn't work. Back to microSD. Weirdly enough Ive heard some users whose boards DO work with eMMC. None of mine did. Again, since docu is terrible, I copied the command that works and didn't for me. Seems like bad hardware versions or something?

These sorts of landmines are everywhere with Pine hardware.
That makes sense, though, for the business. Consulting companies sell a brand image. If Justin Bieber's backup singer got more famous than Bieber, it would mess up the brand dynamics.
> Can I make 2 things of the same dimension with 1 cut?

When I realized that "measure once, cut twice" is actually the superior methodology I laughed for a week.

(As in, set up your cuts or use jigs so that you aren't trying to mark 34 5/16 inches on 6 separate pieces of wood and expecting them to be the same length afterwards.)
I'm unconvinced by such things. From what I can tell, this is academia code. In academia code, regardless of programming language, folks often don't care about failure modes. (I speak from experience, as someone who used to be in academia.) So I'd be more inclined to pin it on academia's incentive structure than anything about programming languages.

I suppose you could use a programming environment that forbids partial functions, but I'm unclear on how productive that is.

> And a language without purity as a concept like Rust has achieved frankly a more tight feeling of safety and great flexibility despite having a more simple typesystem.

Haskell has 'fromJust' and Rust has 'unwrap'. They're both exactly equivalent and result in similarly poor failure modes. (Well, 'unwrap' usually at least gives you a line number.)
> A face lift for claws would be worth 1000 new features.

But it would probably tax the hardware as such.
Claws Mail, which is my #1 choice since decades, is probably the best that can be achieved without surrendering it to a more "modern" development style that could make it at least an order of magnitude bigger and slower. It's simply amazing that I can keep all my emails since 1997 (tens of thousands posts, with attachments, the older ones easily converted from Eudora, my then client under Windows) online so I can search everything I have posted or received instantly on indexed fields or in like 30 seconds on any other field, including spam.

Claws Mail could benefit however from being ported to a cleaner and better thought interface such as Qt (sorry for GTK lovers but to me latest GTK versions are an abomination), and possibly incorporating a conversation mode, but I wouldn't sacrifice anything of what makes it so great to add those features.
>They don't mean for crimes they personally did not commit, but alleged "genocide" that the global political UN community majority states PRC did not commit.

The "majority" of UN are poor countries on China's payroll; facts are not a matter of majority opinion.

>And in fact the opposite position is true, to them PRC has found a relatively "humane" method of eliminating radical terrorism versus US bombing the shit out of the ME.

So completely annihilating an ethnicity through sterilization and banning their cultural practices is more humane than indiscriminate bombing? In fifty years' time there'll still be an Iraq and Iraqi people, but if the current practices continue then in fifty years there'll barely be any Uighurs in China.

Fortunately the Chinese people are beginning to see that what Xi did to poor Uighurs in Xinjiang, he can just as easily do for rich Hanzu in Shanghai. A taste of their own medicine, so to speak.
>Is there a smaller communitiy somewhere, where less "normies" with normal jobs hang out and more founders and makers? Maybe a community where you have to show what you are building before you can enter?

The inevitable question to ask, taking a cursory glance at your own contributions, is why would such a community accept you as a member? You seem like exactly the kind of 'normie' you're complaining about. You want to hang out with founders and makers? What's your startup? What have you made? Where's your Github profile? Show us your whitepaper on something technical, and how many citations you have. Did you even win the Putnam?

I mean, your last submission was asking about hiring a social media manager on Fiverr, come on.
The Olympic level athlete I knew trained most every moment she had that wasn't committed to other things, like school and sleep. Her life from about age 5 to 17 or so was about her sport.

I dunno what sports might require "sacrificing ice cream" but AFAIK Olympians are nuts and have very little life after their events.

In theory they could, yes, but in practice people would rather just get rid of trouble rather than investigate it because it's far less work.
Personally I find social media so addicting that the only thing I could do is quit entirely. I occasionally have to use TikTok for trend research, and it's shockingly addicting... to the point where I think the algorithm should be legally required to be publicly accessible or explained in some plain language way (to some extent, there are a lot of logistical hurdles).
There are some areas, bound by regulatory concerns, where a move-fast-break-things / continuous refinement approach DOES NOT and CANNOT work, i.e., HR and compliance.
That's per user. So a million (or ten, 50...) active users means a lot more per minute.
Economic indicators tell a clear story in good times but go crazy when there is a crisis.

I psychology of inflation is different than the past, because people have so little experience with it and don’t really believe in it.

It used to be that inflation fueled spending because people figured they should buy it now because it will cost more later. They’d figure there is no point in saving because the value of money will get eroded.

Today people see a Big Mac meal costs $9.99 at McDonalds and think “I can’t afford that!”, gas is $4.99, diesel is close to $7 and people think they have to stop the bleeding by hitting the brakes on consumption.

I think supply chain problems are taking a bite out of demand. I have wanted to buy equipment for my photography/art hobby and I can’t get it. I am saving money until it is available, not buying something else.

Ask HN: What to do about no work ethic?
I feel like I have zero work ethic. I do not know why. I want to work, I do not wish to feel awful about doing nothing, but I do nothing all the time. I do not care or feel respectful or grateful for having a job, and I do not know what to do. I am a terrible programmer, and I am unmotivated to become a better one, despite daydreaming about being a 10x programmer.

I remember watching a documentary on indie games, and the developer of Super Meat Boy showed how he just keeps a to-do list on a piece of paper, and I feel awful because I feel so incompetent I cannot work off of a simple to-do list.

What should I do?

Are there any tricks you can recommend to learning how to function as a normal employee?

How do I go from uncaring towards caring?
I mean there is the law which gets complicated and then there is "how things are usually done". In my experience creators usually try to show some kind of 'good faith' when it comes to this -- grandfathering in old plans, or offering a discount on whatever new pricing model they have.

This case is just so blatant though. I don't need support, I can find the right files etc, but if you're gonna kill the old version, allow the license key to be used on a new machine..
Hilarious. The same company that aggressively caps their "unlimited" plan, and justifies it with the "limited bandwidth" argument encourages all of their customers to waste incredible amounts of bandwidth on an advertising scheme.
And it will cost vital time to market. I am very conservative about introducing dependencies but there is a reason why they are proliferating and it is not just developer laziness.

There are many obviously practical storage methods.

Ammonia and hydrogen are attractive because you can sell extra production after your local tankage is full, keeping your synthesis equipment busy whenever you are not drawing down your storage.

If we look at the per-use cost to the climbing gym, then there is a definite cost.

The main contributor to that overhead is insurance. My understanding is that it is very difficult and very expensive to insure a climbing gym, hence the rather high rates.

Divided at the per-visit or per-customer level, you can see then that every single visitor incurs some cost.

If it were me I'd just have them sign a liability waiver (the legal effectiveness of which is already dubious) and climb, but I'm not them.
Hi @softwaredoug, I would also like to know how detection helps.
FYI I assume a Convolutional Neural Network could easily do it, the tech' is very accessible, would love to further discuss this.
So it really depends on what you use for clustering. In this case, I'm clustering by the original embeddings so the UMAP results are different. I've also seen:

1- Clustering by UMAP. Here the plot would show clean separation of topics. But the clustering algorithm would be working on highly compressed data (from the 1024 dimensions of the embedding down to the 2 of UMAP).

2- BERTopic's approach of doing UMAP down to 5 dimensions, using this dimensionality for clustering, then UMAP again from 5 to 2. Which is an interesting approach.

I've heard people having good results with all three. It's kinda hard to objectively compare, but my leaning was to give the clustering algorithm the representation containing the most information about the text.

I thought it looked silly when I started my current job and saw it for my first time in their frontend applications.

Took a little bit to get the hang of, but once I did I was working WAY faster without the mental overhead of having to cross reference 2 text files (HTML + CSS) to build the same UI, keep them in sync, come up with names, etc. I iterate so much quicker, refactoring is so much faster cause you can literally just cut and paste a block of elements, throw them somewhere else, and they just render properly cause you brought the styles along with them. Screen size breakpoints make it so much easier to make responsive UIs. You get a free, built-in layout and color system.

It eliminated basically all the major painpoints of building UIs that I had before. I use it in all my personal projects now.
Is it not because you forgot CSS and instead remember the tailwind names?
The 9 core principles at the place where I work are:

Vision, Verve, Wit, Cheer, Humility, Benevolence, Nimbleness, Probity and Wiles.

Normally, I try not to value any principle over the others, but today, I'd have to say Cheer is my favorite.
They are likely not legally allowed to remain in France at the present time. They do not have French citizenship, nor a residency permit, since none was required while they had EU citizenship. This will complicate (though perhaps not bar) any citizenship application.
I do not know much about CSS but Tailwind was very straightforward, and through it I got to learn things in CSS which weren't made obvious before. It's funny that you use the terms "tedious mess" because that's exactly how I feel about CSS without it. Handling screen sizes, print, colors, and simple layouts.. all that seems way too annoying to do in pure CSS to my non-frontend-dev mind, and trivial to do with Tailwind.
Even as rain deer herders they are not nomadic. They have summer and winter residence. They have static villages, fences for their rain deers, etc.
What do you mean by naturally biased? That people seem to favor them?
That's not the problem. That's like changing the color on the walls, in a house where the light switches were placed too high for small children to reach.
Once you exceed it some of the content will go to swap, which is going to slow down the system (and wear an ssd faster). 400MB is not that much though, for me Code usually takes at least 1.5GB RAM.
When you are in army, army rules apply to you. When you are at home, civilian rules apply to you. Which may mean that you are not allowed to have guns or it may mean there are special regulations.

Sometimes, your ability to have gun is dependent also on you finishing the service - tho I think that is mostly to stop people from dodging the draft. (In Iran, you are not allowed to have passport without military service. They can deny you driver's license too.)

It took close to a decade ('74 - '84) last time inflation was rampant. That said, a lot of things were tried before Volcker came in under Reagan and shrank the money supply aggressively, even through a subsequent recession.

Nixon tried wage controls, price controls, changing energy policy, etc. It resulted in stagflation - poor economic growth despite high inflation.
What does “tech company” even mean anymore?
> I'm willing to bet it's not immediately obvious how scrolling through social media makes a person feel, unless they have experience with it

Right, and the scary thing from my perspective is that a company like Facebook has actually experimented with manipulating emotion on real users. People don't understand to what extent they're being manipulated, but the manipulators often harvest this data for their own purposes.
Language changes. How does this harm you? This seems like gatekeeping.

DevOps also definitely is a role. Maybe you could call it "DevOps Support Engineer," the same way "QC is not a role" but we do have QC Engineers.

If your organization embraces DevOps, you're probably going to need code and configuration to enforce it, and some companies might want a dedicated expert to maintain that.
Sure, a hundred cheeseburgers in a day would be too much, but if the phone will last three years, that's about three burgers a month ... could be worth it!
Vietnam begs to differ. NK is a made up vassal state in the korea war. Tension almost broke out in war with USSR. India is object of continous skirmishes (sino-indian war, 1962). Japan was too strong to combact, but not to antagonize (in the public discourse), SK is a protectorate.
Oh you poor little out of touch fossilized reptile. DevOps is an outmoded idea that is banished to the place where careers go to die. We are now Platform Engineers!
To-do lists can be a problem as much as a solution. It is easy to get depressed about writing them or end up overloading them with so many things you get depressed about it.

Kanban is the basic practice of management. Just like a juggler can juggle a certain number of balls there are a certain number of projects you can have going at once. At the cafe at the engineering school the staff have a certain number of food orders in progress and they don’t accept a new order until an old order is cleared out. Everything is like that.
But how much do you practically enjoy yourself ultimately then? Sounds like technically you could almost always be making more money somehow ... ?

For my previous job I talked to an engineer who was doing recruiting at my university's job fair. A week later I had an interview, and a week after the interview I had an offer.

For my current job the same engineer I talked to (who was now a co-founder at a startup) contacted me over LinkedIn asking about getting lunch. I got lunch with him, and I had an offer later that day.

In this case this is why the base layer of fiat law is important. Common law give wide leeway in letting people setup contracts under whatever form they want. But generally apply common sense judgement for clearly egregious cases. They're not just going to say "this North Korean hacker owns the house because he found an exploit". They'll recognize the plain intent of the LLC bylaws.
I’m not an economist, but as a data scientist, these models always seem way too simple to me to actually predict anything about the economy.

Yes, this. They'll even consider time spent in "jail" as part of your sentence. There are many folks who have been convicted and not spent any further time in jail because of "time served" waiting to be convicted.

And if they hadn't been convicted? Their problem, apparently.
> Rulex transpiles to regex, running in a variety of engines. Meaning the author has not just mastered one regex dialect, but the subtleties of all supported regex engines
