That's a failure of code enforcement. I could have our local code guy on site in under 24 hours with complaints like yours. And if I could get lucky enough to actually snag a picture of a rodent, good god, all hell would break loose. Lots of things are just a ticket, but once their are rats, the real enforcement comes into play. That's what it took to get rid of a nuisance property down the street from us. They wouldn't do too much until we showed them a picture of a rat. In a matter of months they condemned the property and took it by force (the owner could not or would not fix the problem himself). Bulldozed it, sold the property to a new owner, and ta-da! It's now a nice, clean little house.

> If you were an infection that wanted to survive and spread as far as possible, you wouldn't want to kill your host at all.

You may be oversimplifying here... consider that the host has an immune system and the infection has a limited time to either live in the host or to kill the host and remain in an infectious corpse for a while longer afterward.
We can talk about the advantages of monorepos, but your questions is phrased in a way that makes me think that you don't see any "trouble" in multiple repositories.

I would encourage you to do some research and keep an open mind.

Different cultures have different standards for ordering day, month, and year. Encountering one that you're not used to throws you off quite hard, especially regarding day & month since they're both often two digits.

Relying on input=date would probably abstract that away at the client side, but as people said, browser support for it still seems to be bad.
I brought Saturn CD to a 1995 New Years party as a teenager and was so cool that day.
I only ever had Virtua Fighter though and that was the last gaming console or game I ever bought.
I just remember it being a massive waste of money for me. $399 in 1995 dollars, about $690 adjusted for inflation with a CPI calculator.
I was early on a team that was > 100 people when I left years ago There's lots of assymetric memories of relationships, especially for people that joined in my last 6-12 months.

I'm sure a GAN picture that looked like a strong team member with a close-but-not-the-same name and lots of connections to people I knew well would fool me.

Also, the cost to me incorrectly friending such a person is much lower than missing a strong hire or new job opportunity.

Edit: Also, as someone hiring, you can't even reasonably ban people for this stuff. Some crappy recruiter database integration startup occasionally merges me with a coworoker, then spams out the fake profile. I've had my own company try to poach me before.
> I linked up with an excellent corporate attorney and patent attorney, both of whom agreed to let me use their services on a pay later basis.

I'm curious about this "pay later" arrangement - does it simply mean they'll invoice you on 30 day terms, or something else?

My Emergency Medical Technician course was around 120 hours, after which I could begin responding to 911 calls in an ambulance. Although, to be fair, trauma shears have blunt tips.
Ikea also sells nice, solid wood, furniture. And they typically do so at a price that is much more affordable than their competitors.

If you want to go into Ikea and just buy long lasting solid wood products, go ahead! Indeed I'd argue Ikea has made new solid wood furniture more accessible, heck sometimes new Ikea wood furniture is cheaper than consignment store wood furniture!

Developer here .. I wanted to share a free news and content search engine I have been developing called WhatSubject.

WhatSubject allows you to search for breaking news and content from thousands of sites using strings, words, topics and by specific sites.

WhatSubject also supports smart search URLs so you can just add what you want to search for after the WhatSubject URL.

Show recent content from TheVerge.com ..
https://whatsubject.com/theverge.com

Show recent content for the #linux topic ..
https://whatsubject.com/linux

Show recent content for "ycombinator" string search ..
https://whatsubject.com/ycombinator

You can also combine searches ..
@theverge.com elon musk twitter

There are no user accounts on WhatSubject, but there are several settings you can change including the site theme and search result layout format.

You can also take advantage of several content filters including blocking known right-biased sources and/or left-biased sources, political content and paywalled sites.

Your latest searches are shown on the home page as the first entries in the tag cloud followed by other recent popular searches.

You can disable or delete your search history (it is stored using cookies) as well as delete all cookies.

Also, rather than !bangs, I added quick search buttons for other news and search engine sites to the bottom of search result pages.

I built WhatSubject because I wanted a way to find and read site content quickly by topics and sites using a clutter-free interface.

I hope some people enjoy it!

I tried to help my boss once to log onto Zoom for a meeting. The site asked for date of birth, and not wanting to give any PII I naturally entered some bullshit but plausible date.

Well Zoom locked him out for some time for trying to lie I guess and that meeting had to be moved to Teams.
> First, it’s actually somewhat unlikely that lithium ion batteries are going to be the cheapest grid storage

Then please share what storage mechanism is going to be cheaper.

> Second, natural resources almost always get cheaper to extract as demand increases, especially when they’re not actually scarce (there’s tons of Lithium out there).

Incorrect, as easily accessible reserves get depleted more and more remote reserves must be tapped. This increases cost of extraction.
> The directors have a legal responsibility to the company

Yes

> and to boost the share price

Not exactly. They have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders and must always act in their best interests. But the law allows a great degree of freedom in interpreting that. For example, actions that may depress the share price in the short-term can be argued as being good for the long-term health of the company and the courts are OK with that argument.
Huh? Per the wails thread:

He offered the solution though. If you are not able to "maintain a desktop" (either because you don't know how to, just don't want to, or don't have the time to, etc) then use a stable distro and accept the choices that were made for you. Thats not much different than just installing Windows or buying a Mac and accepting whatever decisions Microsoft/Apple made regarding how the desktop experience should be.

I think I personally fueled the PSD2HTML craze by launching designslicer.com back in late 2006 and heavily undercut the competition by charging just $70 per 'sliced' page. I had no portfolio, just a dumb typical web2.0 era styled website and a very cheap price. I easily made $5000 with that website in the short 9 month period that it lived, then sold the domain for $1300. Also I noticed that $70 per page became the new price around all competitors after I launched, it was lovely to see.

The old version is actually still in the Wayback Machine [1]

You must break down the part that led to that reputation.

Electron uses its own renderer (chrome). Meaning it can't share memory with the os browser and make download size way bigger.
It bundles nodejs. Again make download size bigger
Nodejs needs to create multiple processes which each of them can use a lot of memory.
It use a bridge between the UI and backend (to do os stuff)
while JS is nowaday fast, Go/Java/C#/etc are still faster

Wails on the other hand.
Uses the os browser. (Download size is reduce and can share memory)
Go is compiled to native, no runtime needed. (Download size is reduce, lower on memory, run faster)
Same bridge performance bottleneck, but you can perform critical stuff in Go and get an advantage.

HTML renderers are fast. Code your UI with performance in mind, use a library like svelte or solidjs combine with something like wails (or anything that will do the same thing in java/c#/swift) and you won't see a difference between any native apps in most cases.
Also you gain the ability to share your UI code with the web.

The primary negative consequence is driving ungodly amounts of capital towards ridiculous businesses that at best create nothing except a layer of rent-seeking and at worst, use up the same amount of electricity as economically beneficial initiatives like domestic manufacturing.

Just look at the ridiculous indulgences VC funds have propped up over the past decade:

- social media apps that can only make money with ads and tracking

- exchanges where you can trade dog money

- office rentals, but at a made-up $50bn valuation

- "homesharing" rentals (don't call it a hotel because regulations)

- "ridesharing" (don't call it a taxi because regulations)

And let's not forget a key logistical challenge for human society -- food delivery.
An alternative to Electron I like is Vercel Pkg
https://github.com/vercel/pkg .

You write a server in Node.js, compile it to an exe with Vercel Pkg and users run the exe on their local machine and use it with their browser.

Instead of running an app "in the cloud" they run it on the server on their machine. But the server could easily also be moved to the cloud as well.

Using a browser to connect to an app running on your local machine has the nice feature that you can open any number of browser-views on it, looking at the app and your data and tools from multiple viewpoints. Since it is local they are the only user and don't need to login or "keep a session" and can thus interact with the app in multiple ways in parallel.

I don't need to design in a feature that allows users to "open a new window". That is handled by the browser. Open a new tab to the same or different (bookmarked) url.

Plus there is a benefit to coding both the server and the client in the same language.

I think it's important to separate the ideas/words/meaning of "X lives matter" from the political movements that underlying them.

"So like, if you were an employer in post-abolition America, and you refused to employ ex-slaves because they had no history of employment, on the one hand, it's formally fair, because that's a criterion you can apply to all applicants. It is still, however, materially discriminatory. That's the observation at the root of a lot of affirmative action stuff."

I think we're so far removed from that, that it isn't straightforward anymore. We're seeing discrimination against certain minority groups simply because they're overrepresented in some areas (look at the recent issue/cases regarding Asians and education). It's one thing if we're making exceptions for disadvantaged people (ethnicity alone is not an indicator for this) that corrects and injustice, but it's something completely different when we are using blanket policies that aren't actually fixing anything and might actually cause more issues in the future.
Difficulties due to search? Well I have difficulties due to search too, when I find an article that briefly tries to appear open access to entice me and then suddenly plasters a client-side paywall on me. That's why I am doing it.

I think we're long past using "theft" as an analogy for access to content. If I take a car from you I am depriving you of your car, and I would be able to profit from it if I were to sell it on the black market—that's what makes it theft. Let's not forget that at no point am I talking about gaining unauthorised access to a computer system, nor about making use of the content to the detriment of the copyright holder (publishing it elsewhere etc.). All I am doing is making use of my personal property in whichever way I please, and that sometimes happens to be reading the content that has already been sent to me by a business in whichever way it pleased. I am depriving nobody by activating Web Developer Tools in Firefox after having clicked a link to a website and being able to see the data that has already been sent to my browser. In fact, the website won't even be aware that I "stole" from them rather than decided not to subscribe.

Honestly, what rings hollow to me is so much moralising around wanting people to feel guilty for being able to circumvent the unnecessarily weak paywalls implemented by businesses which, let's not forget, are designed in that way for the businesses' own benefit and often to the detriment of the user's interest. A better analogy would be if a music venue insisted on playing with no sound-proofing to hopefully attract customers from the street, but expected any nearby homes to keep their own windows closed so they must pay if they want to listen to the music.

Oracle just spent $28B Cerner[1], one of the two largest providers of electronic patient medical records systems. I happen to know personally that at least one of the hospitals mentioned uses Cerner and has used it since the 90s. This sharing of sensitive medical information thing is just going to get worse, unless Congress and the FDA step up strongly.

Wonderful, thanks for sharing that. I had a traumatic experience about 50 years ago that didn’t affect my life much except for an occasional nightmare. I mentioned this to someone who is a psychologist and she mentioned EMDR. We had two sessions, and no more nightmares, and also I can think of that episode now with no anxiety. Wonderful tech.
In the eyes of the decision makers, the loss of functionality you describe is a feature, not a bug. Making it harder for you to procure food "reduces waste".

It is the same line of thinking in which companies slash their call center staffing, add a recorded message about "unprecedented call volume", and then happily exclaim that since users have to sit on hold for hours, phone contacts have significantly decreased, thus "reducing waste" from an operational perspective.

If the company is growing and in the “lottery ticket zone,” there is no chance a refresher grant should be a meaningful change to your potential outcome (for example: 20% more equity over 2 years is not worth the opportunity cost of getting 2 years of equity at another company).

If the company is growing so slowly that you could get a meaningful refresher grant, then you should move to another company that is growing faster.

Yeah, basically food wastage is reduced by people taking less food in order to fit it on one plate.

I only know about small non tech enterprise companies where I never had a serious coding interview and was able to lean on my experience and my most recent job at BigTech where I didn’t go through any coding interviews, was able to lean on my experience and did have a couple of System Design rounds where I had to explain real world implementations.

From what I understand, for more senior level software development positions, they still put you through coding, system design and behavioral.
The Russian armed forces do not have control of or indeed the ability to control Kyiv’s airspace. They spectacularly failed to take the city in their first assault and even at that time were unable to gain air superiority. Since then they have retreated out of AA and artillery range of Kyiv, and the reported S-series air defense batteries defending the capital have increased. Simply put, Russia has no real say over who goes to Kyiv. Ukraine is a big country, and they have been beaten back to frontlines that are quite far from Kyiv.

The several posts here which imply the Russians are choosing not to interfere grant them more military competence than they have demonstrated - and are ignorant of the war’s present geography.
Two nits to pick from this article:

While the article does mention it ignores loop unrolling, it's a bit disingenuous, because that almost DOUBLES performance and it's what nearly all real world code is doing.

Also Sam's Journey PAL version does not need any kind of DMA transfer tricks. NTSC version is just a tiny bit behind in timing, so to be glitch free, REU is used. PAL version still works with minor glitches on an NTSC system.

This is because NTSC has 263 * 63 - 25 * 40 = 15569 cycles available per frame (ignoring those stolen by sprites) and PAL 263 * 63 - 25 * 40 = 18656 cycles (again, ignoring sprites).

The difference is enough that the NTSC version can't move required 2000 bytes of color RAM and character RAM in time in the worst case without REU.
Hard drives are at this stage where no one will really miss them given their performance vs SSDs, but still common enough to not attract nostalgia. I think it is still mind blowing that such a cheap device can move a physical head over a disk within a minuscule precision, both in term of position and distance above the disk, and this many times per second. Yes it doesn’t do a million iops, it only does like 10 iops, but I am still impressed we get those 10 iops on a cheap consumer devices that stores TBs of data.

One of my best friends, a man from Iceland I met in Overwatch a few years ago plays both Overwatch when he feels like really digging into something, and he'll play simulator games (Truck sim, Cooking sim, etc.) when he wants to 'chill' or wants less of a challenge. It works well for him, since his disability means that gaming is pretty much his whole life now.

The company itself issues you the options, usually as a form of compensation because you're an employee, etc.

That option is a certificate that gives you the ability to purchase a share of the company at a specific price (the strike price). Usually when people say "buy their options" or "exercise their options", they are referring to buying the _stock_ that their options gave them the ability to purchase.

So if I join a startup, they grant me 100 options with a strike price of $0.50, and I decide to exercise them, I would write the company a check for $50 and get 100 shares of the company in exchange.
