It matters because your program is probably not the only one running.
In case folks are interested, I had a delightful interview about a year back with Max Brunsfeld, one of the original Atom devs who is now working on Zed: https://about.sourcegraph.com/podcast/max-brunsfeld. (YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Jf8AqaZ7IU)

Very excited about where this new collaborative editor goes!
If you're driving in CA with an average car and average number of miles, gas taxes will be another $400 per year (and it's $0.68 per gallon not $0.5)

On top of that if you bought an average priced car, the 7.5% sales tax would be another one time $4000 charge

Is $4000 + $600 per year on average not sizable?
I'll have to work my experience to my advantage, then. Squeeze out every last drop I can get, even if it's not much. Or go for one of those bootcamps.

I have to show that I'm still better than less experienced bootcamp grads, because I have not been able to accept that I wasted many years of my life.
Off-topic, but does Zookeeper have features that etcd doesn't provide? etcd seems to be simpler to operate at a glance.
I would categorize things as "does someone on the team need to know this":

* Why does a key appear on the screen when I push a button on my keyboard: no

* How is an HTTPS connection created: generally no

* How is the JavaScript library deployed: 100% yes

You might be able to throw something together that works without understanding that it is a JavaScript library with a bootstrap HTML page but if no one on your team understand that you will eventually need to find someone that does to solve a problem.
Meta names new head of engineering as current leader steps aside
Gifted programs and advanced classes were what kept me in school, the only things that got my grades up tho were classes with rigid rules. I had one class and where if you showed up late once / didn’t hand in one assignment you failed.

I got straight As that semester. The rest of school was just min/max’ing to average out with a C and not do any homework.
Not sure how I feel about detaching controls from their label like that. I thought we learned our lesson with this when we switched to HiDPI displays, but oh well...
Agreed. Gracefully handled. I happened to agree with the arguments, but treasure civil discourse.
Not knowing about it can also qualify you as a very senior dev (though not very up to date with recent improvements) as the form tag was apparently added to the (then informal) HTML format around 1994 ;)
And it’s been shown that the new System Settings app breaks the HIG (end of the article as “Addendum”).

This comment is honestly shocking to me. It’s not “weird” for people with different needs to ask to be included in the software we build. Accessibility is a baseline for any product in 2022 and needs to be included from the start otherwise it inevitably won’t work when it’s strapped on later.
> You seem to be looking for a no-contract unlimited data plan? Isn’t that just PAYG?

Kind of - I did mention PAYG and why it's not ideal and that it feels like you're still fighting the provider. Topping it up is a nightmare and the billing system doesn't allow the scenario of "here's a few hundred bucks, give me internet consistently until this runs out". Instead, you have to fight with it every time your "bundle" expires and you can't stack them in advance even if you deposit enough cash on the account.

EE's biggest bundle on PAYG is 100GB for 30£ which is reasonable from a pricing point of view but unfortunately doesn't last long and forces you to top-up and reset the bundle via the IVR every time it runs out. I want to be able to put 300£ on the account and get 1TB of data in one go so it lasts a couple weeks before I need to top-up again (topping up relies on the IVR which means taking the SIM out of the 4G router and putting it in a phone then sitting though minutes of bullshit upselling).
That sounds awfully inefficient
> I’m fine with people using scooters but they should have to own and take care of them, and if scooter sharing companies are operating they should be required to ensure they are left in proper places or perhaps in designated docks. They shouldn’t be effectively stealing public land for their for-profit service.

Exactly this. If they'd paid for land to install racks/docks and taken measures to ensure the scooters ended up there, or partnered with local governments to create same (as in municipal bike rental racks) I'd have no problem with it. It's completely bizarre to me that it's fine to leave your crap all over the public sidewalk as long as you're a company with a scheme to make money off it.
I haven't really looked much for a replacement (instead making my little side projects CLI tools). I'm playing with Fyne (Golang) right now for a smaller side project (a TODO list app with just the features I want). The next GUI languages I'd like to look at are Rust (with egui or druid), Dart with Flutter, and F# ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdo4fOcmZ0oV2uhlVIItf... looked promising ).
In firefox, `navigator.clipboard.readText is not a function`, but otherwise I love it! Definitely going to see some use. Slick.
It looks like this was pretty small-time voter fraud in local and low-level elections, where there weren't teams of data operatives scouring returns for any inconsistency.

When people talk about "there is no voter fraud", mostly what they mean are federal elections. The US has great gobs of elections, there's no reasonable way to analyze them all, and we simply don't have the data in most of the cases.
Or the one that knocked me out right onto the street, in front of oncoming traffic and caused six stitches on my face?
> Presumably by some kind of voter identification? Like the way most countries do it.

Ok, sure, just find a way to implement that which doesn't allow it to be abused disenfranchise voters, which is what typically happens here in the states.

> You could have multi-day polling too, that's fine. I don't understand why this is so hard in this country.

Yep, you could. No politician suggests this for some reason.

> No I can't because I live in Oregon, which despite being a high tax state, is unable to conduct even the most basic election.

Sounds like your problem is less with the concept of mail-in ballots and more with the fact that your state can't handle running a polling location.

> It's not when we have an easy answer to this problem -- have a physical place to vote.

For all the reasons I already outlined, it is not actually an easy answer.

> Why aren't these 'voter suppression' tactics used in liberal states not up to questioning?

They are. If no one is talking about it then they should make a bigger stink about it.
From like 2000 to 2010 or even 2015 either java or .NET was the default choice for big enterprise companies. Nobody ever got fired for picking Microsoft or Java (I would add), as they say. A lot of these Apache projects have been donated from work at big enterprises so it comes out of that background from enterprise I imagine.
We know it’s not an issue because if people were returning mailed ballots without the knowledge of the intended recipient, there would be a ton of people who would be logged as voting twice (once the mail in ballot and once in person or after requesting and submitting a replacement mail in ballot).
Performance, portability, stability, scalability, concurrency, ecosystem (libraries, etc) .... despite all the new languages around, there actually still aren't many alternatives that give you the same combination of all these to the same level as Java does.
it's likely taken from that tweet

Does 'lightning-fast' mean that the application will be light on the system or does it mean that it's well optimised but still demanding enough that you require a modern computer?

I'm asking because I like to use my laptop Acer Aspire One most because of the size and because it the incredibly good feeling keyboard. BUT the system is 32-bit and running Intel Atom which means that before VSCode moved away from 32-bit I could use it, but it would take some time to open and I wouldn't really call it writing in real time, if you know what I mean~ :D

But I love the keyboard shortcuts and the multiple cursor functionality, which is why I stuck with it for as long as I could!
Great to see you've dropped Electron!
See https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdo4fOcmZ0oV2uhlVIItf... for last years .NET Conf with some F# -> web frameworks. They look really nice, but I haven't tried them yet.
Trying to prevent small children from squirming and getting distracted when they are bored and don’t have enough active outlet for their energy is pretty well impossible. Even harder if the kids don’t get enough sleep, aren’t eating enough or healthily enough, have to deal with strong emotional challenges at home, etc. Kids are on varied biological rhythms, and some times a kid is in a place where they simply do not have the physical capacity to sit and focus.
Certainly more interesting nerd circles back then - I ran a Commodore Users Group, a BBS, and enjoyed programming a bit. Tried to submit some articles to magazines in the day... no luck though.

Besides the computer nerds like me, you would find the other groups that used computers for their interests, like Ham Radio operators, Educators, Small Business Operators, Writers, and Parents which provided interesting perspectives. Some of them got hooked and explored more like trying out BBSes, or trying to get the most out of word processing, those that didn't get it either stayed just with what they needed or went back to pre-digital methods.

Given that group; reading early home computing magazines magazines like Creative Computing you got to see a lot of articles exploring people trying to implement computer solutions for their varied interests (i.e. cataloging a stamp collection, tracking the farm's vet schedules, etc.) Programs and methodology were not as developed so even the most basic thing could be a struggle to build it up from scratch (you need what sort of storage??)

As far as the nerds there were various nerd clicks from home hobbyists, college educated, old time professional, entrepreneur, know-it-alls, and of course the religions: Apple ][, Atari, Commodore, TRS-80, CP/M. etc. Lot of division with many truly beliving "you can't possibly do X on machine Y!" etc.

Even though there are still seperate platforms, a lot of it is just the same software/development tools, just different computing hardware (which also isn't all that different as it was then).

My suggestion for a good feel is go to the Internet Archive's Computer Magazine rack ( https://archive.org/details/computermagazines ) and start reading through stuff from the mid 70s - mid 80s especially magazines like BYTE, Interface Age, Kilobaud Microcomputing, Creative Computing, Compute!,

It is mostly a stand-in for voter suppression. It's not useful otherwise.
I've desperately been trying to get an account with VMware, and I simply cannot. Every account I've tried making doesn't let me login.

Is there some trick to letting me give them money?
> That doesn’t mean it’s a requirement to be affective at the level above.

Not necessarily, but it did have a material effect in the original example. A web developer drug in a complex, unnecessary framework because she didn't realize that HTML forms have the ability to submit post and get data natively.

To me that's like a civil engineer building a suspension bridge over a tiny creek because they never heard of an arch design.
Help some data scientist and get fame.

Am I the only one that thinks annotations are a code smell?
It's likely he is leaving because he missed out on the top Amazon job and it's not uncommon to be pushed out if you don't win a competition like that. So maybe money, maybe head of a a company is the driver, maybe he was encouraged to leave and find something else. It's a great opportunity for Dave, and a great hiring by Flexport.
In my previous job, I used Dagster. It has served us well.

> I think a lot of people see the older games through nostalgia lenses when their lives were better/minds were younger/they were first experiencing an engrossing RPG.

Yes, they do. But it is absolutely not the case here, sorry. F4 is just a worse game.

It's not the worst game in the series or the genre, but it is utterly mediocre and not at all an example of a resounding success in Bethesda's history as a game company. Metacritic's 5.6/10 User score agrees with me.

Doesn't mean you have to stop liking the game. There are plenty of bad games we all play as guilty pleasures.

Also, just FYI, I think Fallout 1, the first game in the series is a pretty awful game. It's extremely short, the side quests are all boring fetch/kill quests, the open world is mostly dead. F2 was a huge improvement upon it.
Isn't it? An average car gets ~25mpg and travels ~14,000 miles per year. That then adds up to a total of $480. Hard to estimate the average value of a car on the road, the average used car sales price is probably a good proxy (misses some value for first-owner cars, overvalues last-owner cars) which gives $28000 (2021 was likely abnormally high and this'll actually drop some, but still). So then, you're talking 1.7% when parent was asking for 2.5%. I wouldn't call that "not sizable".
This is why I feel wary whenever I hear the phrase 'best practices'. Although they're generally promoted with good intentions, they're often accompanied by a utilitarian certitude that rapidly hardens into dogmatic inflexibility, followed by defensiveness or outright dishonesty in response to unforeseen consequences.

Most 'best practices' are good defaults, but the superlative rhetoric comes with the unstated assumption that any deviation is necessarily inferior, and that the best cannot be iterated upon. This drains agency from actors within a system, selecting for predictable mediocrity rather than risky innovation.
I don’t claim that it leads to equality. That’s a problematic assertion.

I said that the relational words in Mandarin leads to (and enforces) a collectivist rather than than individualist mindset. There is less semantics about identity and more about relations. Identity is a reference to a self, whereas relational words refer to how a self relates to another self. The emphasis is on the relation — and the social expectations, responsibilities, and priveledges of that relation, and less on the identity of either the speaker or the person the speaker refers to.

So for example, I wouldn’t say “Bob”. I’d say “my da-ge” (big older brother). When I use the latter in conversations with other people, those people knows I have this relation I can lean on. When referring to younger siblings, I might not even use their names even if I could do so without being rude. I might say to someone else, “my xiao-de”, my little brother, making an implicit claim that this person is family, under my protection. Whether the kid is worthy of such protection, whether I personally want to or not, is secondary that there is a relation and there are expectations that goes with it.
I don't know where you came up with that number or what kind of point you're trying to make, so I don't have any examples for you. I'm merely referring to the myriad of taxes and fees you have to stay on top of as a business.
One of the most effective things we can do to secure the presidential election is do away with the Electoral College.
It's much harder to come up with the millions of votes needed to game the popular vote than it is to come up with a few tens of thousands in two or three key states.

Of course the popular vote would also have the bonus of being more democratic (with no downside, since we no longer need to help slave owners feel a sense of equity).
No, because it’s easy to check if your vote has been registered. If someone threw away a ton of ballots, people would notice.
I also find it weird. I’m not disabled but I think designing for accessibility is important. It’s hard to tack on later and have it work well

This is the closest thing I can find to a primary source on Joshua Ma's comments. There are only three words directly attributable to Joshua Ma in that entire article and any context for his comments is completely missing. If anyone has a better source, I would encourage you to link it.
Throwing something on the curb is the same as abandoning it, at least at most cities I've been in. Completely fair game.

Just because it has GPS in it doesn't mean it wasn't abandoned
Indeed this would need to predefine a maximum number of states.

This work referenced also in the OP paper uses recurrent neural nets and a genetic algorithm to evolve the minimal number of states needed:

Oddly, the settings panel in Ventura looks closer to what Gnome Settings looks like. Just without the "Buy Apple Music! nudge" or "credit card offer" elements.
They/them is only plural. It works ok in writing but IMO it sounds really weird to use it in casual conversation. I used to agree with the APA style guide that you should just use them but lately I've been having second thoughts.
Good. I never understood a rationale for not having a paper trail.
Isn't reverse engineering a code with annotations much easier than without them? And reverse engineering the code often takes significant time in large projects.
I'm guessing that by "included day 1" they meant that if you do it this way it's much easier then having the product designed and then re-engeneering it to support accessibility later.
Do you serve static files? Static file server on a $5 DO droplet should handle the HN front page.

There's also free tiers on many CDNs like Fastly/Cloudflare. Github Pages is also free.
For simple static sites like this, sticking a default Cloudflare stack in front helps a lot

This is possible, just requires uncancelable futures. And this is something the async wg actively works on: https://rust-lang.github.io/wg-async/vision/roadmap/scopes.h....

Also, unsafe `forget()` does not help because destructors can be sidestepped in many ways, for example creating a `Rc` cycle.
Self-employed are technically businesses. So every self-employed in Germany. Progressive rate but ends up at 42%.

Ah yes, the airtight "it could never happen here," argument.
Voter rolls are public information and used by canvassers all the time. If there were a bunch of fake people registered somewhere, it would be very easy to notice.
> Obviously, if I could ask him this today, he would hand-wave the argument with that being different for whatever bunk-ass reason.

I think he would explain white supremacy to you, and how important it is that he uphold it.
I checked back regularly for years to look for signs of life in Atom. There weren't any.

Last blog? 2019.

None of the releases did anything interesting. I work in Vue.js and needed that toolchain to work well, it never did with Atom.

So they're blaming the community for something they decided years ago and kept deciding every week when no resources were allocated.

Also, Zed isn't filling the void Atom left. Rust is interesting. Collaborative editing, not so much. Electron's lack of speed doesn't prevent VS code from fading into my workflow and being the most popular editor. I would still like an alternative because I don't think Microsoft should have the whole market.
It is not weird at all, and claiming that asking for accessibility to be considered is weird is frankly rude.

Approaches like yours are why people who are differently abled feel left out and like second class citizens a lot of the time.
> It's extremily frustrating how little thought many dev teams give to the idea that users won't always have super fast internet available.

We need to fix those places. Not permanently anchor the rest of the world to a decade ago.
I did exactly that. Multiple times, including before Fallout 3 came out, after, and also pretty recently. IMHO, Fallout 2 sucks in comparison with anything F3+. Worldbuilding might be there, but the gameplay simply isn't.

There's nothing wrong with being "a reskinned Elder Scrolls". Elder Scrolls is a great game (series). It is up there in the hall of masterpieces along with GTA and CS.

If you don't believe my word, look at Steam stats: https://store.steampowered.com/stats/

Like many here I also believed F3 and NV had better storytelling. But many hours of playing later, I see that I actually prefer F4.
Property taxes also go to infrastructure to access the property.

With modern zoning laws, that means car infrastructure.
I disagree with the author, while I think there is value in minimalism, I like to embrace messiness, and I can use the "entropy" idea to show my opposite viewpoint.

Entropy is a force of nature, it will always increase, second law of thermodynamics. And yes, it is fatal, we will all die in the end there isn't much we can do about it. But that's where the author backs out, saying that "organizational entropy" doesn't follow the laws of thermodynamics because there is a magic spell called "minimalism"... Why make a parallel with physics then?

I think that just like thermodynamic entropy, there is no solution, we will all die, period. The only thing we can do is make the best of the time we are alive.

And if we look at the author's ideal, it has zero entropy, literally absolute zero, nothing moves, which is not the most enjoyable situation...

Furthermore, the proposed solution (minimalism) involves creating a small pocket of low entropy. In thermodynamics, that would be a freezer. But while freezers can lower entropy locally, they increase entropy globally, freezers need energy to function. And the colder your freezer, the more energy it consumes and the more entropy it creates. It means that minimalism can be counterproductive: the more you try to make things perfect, the messier everything around it becomes.

So, don't try to put every atom at it correct place, you simply can't, absolute zero doesn't exist in nature, just admit that life isn't perfect, that it is sometimes better to do something useless than doing even more work trying to find if it actually is useless. And low entropy (nothing moves) is as boring as high entropy (just noise), the best is somewhere in the middle, life is in the middle.
I have to fill in a "time card" each week. The old system was a simple web page that I could navigate primarily via keyboard, tabbing from field to field. I think it was a company-developed web app, so the people who made it also had to use it. Then that was scrapped for an "enterprise solution."

This is is also a web app, but it's slow. You have to click in a field, watch as the selection menus are filled in in a second or two (as the gigabytes of Javascript pulls data in via a database query in real time), and if it's a text field, you have to click in it, type real slowly, and click out of it. Don't tab to the next field because the tab key doesn't work as expected. What used to take a few seconds to fill out a days' worth of time now takes a few minutes. The C-suite, who bought into this crap, don't have to use it because that's what secretaries^Wassistants are for.

If this is the future of computing, I want off at the next stop.
