On a long enough time horizon, 100% will be thrown away.

Practically speaking, it’s really hard to say. So much of my code is written as something useful that people ask for, then they never use it. So while it’s still out there and available for use (and works), it might as well be in the trash. I guess it’s a marketing problem, even though it’s internal code written for 1 team who specifically asked for it. Old habits of manual work die hard.

A11y may be the reason. Checkboxes are a pretty small target to hit with a mouse. Toggles at least double the target area. I have also noticed toggles tend to be a bit bigger, they use the full line height while checkboxes are generally aligned with the text baseline. But in the Apple example, the checkboxes do take the entire line.

Toggles spatially move. Many other controls have movement: radio groups, sliders, even select boxes with opening/closing menus. Checkboxes do not move, they just change.

Also, just style. Who says UI designs from the early 80s and late 90s don't ever get to evolve?

Something the author didn't comment on, but I think is important, is overall alignment. In the old UI the controls and labels are colocated, and inconsistently ordered. In the new UI labels and controls are consistently aligned left/right or top/bottom. I think this is an improvement.
I don’t see why not—this seems easy enough. And thanks for checking it out! :)

> Privacy privacy privacy though, as if someone at Google is manually looking through your history laughing at you.

Part of the problem is that it seems more or less impossible to get large companies to keep their data secure. In fact Google stands out as maybe the only big tech company that has not been involved in a major breach.

Notwithstanding the legal and political issues that arise when (not if, but when) this data gets into the hands of law enforcement agencies.

And yes, there have been individual instances of employees misusing sensitive user data.

Privacy is security.

Generally I agree that content providers should be allowed to make money somehow, but this way has proven to be untenable and something needs to change.
They tried that, but the question is how do you write the law? In the end they settled on requiring that govt. departments use ISO standards to store docs (which at the time was only ODF).

Microsoft then tried to get their format ratified as an ISO standard. But everyone complained that their spec did not actually specify how to implement, instead it said things like "In accordance with output from Word 2007". So after a bit of back and forth MS realized that they did not want to _actually_ document what they were doing. The solution? Pack the committee with MS shills to vote yes on every proposal by MS. Urgh.

One of the negative flow on effects was that these new committee members only cared about voting for things that MS had instructed them to vote on - so other standards and issues stalled due to a lack of a quorum. It was super disappointing looking at this from the sidelines at the time.

Why do crypto maxis keep saying this? At the very least, the entire USA population uses USD daily and have an entrenched interest in continuing to use it.

How do you possibly think you could convince all of them to switch to your fav crypto, just because you’ve been “stacking” it?
I haven't used this particular framework, but having type safety in React through writing TypeScript, generating bindings to the backend so those are typed as well.

There's also a _ton_ of preexisting React components you can generally drop in and use, which is less true these days with something like a Django template.

You also have the option of doing SSR and then doing more dynamic stuff on the client side, as a sort of optimization (and plain better user experience than making _more_ server requests to get the initial page state loaded).

I'd like to somehow generalize this advice. My take is to compare proactive vs reactive learning.

Early in my career I was all proactive learning. I would study languages, frameworks, tools, anything under the sun. Vast majority of these I never used or got any value out of.

As I became older and had less time in my hands I had to become more tactical with my learning. I started to switch from proactive to reactive learning. Reactive learning is learning new things in response to on-the-job needs. Does my new team use Spark in Scala? Let's learn about those then.

I still like to keep a thread of proactive learning where I do more exploration, just to expand my horizons and have some fun. Still I'd say nowadays my ratio of proactive vs reactive learning must be around 20/80%.
And most of them, I just wish I could access that database directly.

Asking someone not to use american slurs on an American forum is the same as saying 'I'm better than you'? Hard disagree. I think that says a lot more about you than it does about me.
There’s a bunch of steps, but jumping to the extreme, a foreign gov having access to the data is the awful part.

Data flowing to the US violates that, assuming Google US cannot refuse US gov requests, the headquarter having access to the data is also not accepted.
My impression of these people is that they generally use very out-of-date versions, and they misunderstand/misuse configuration settings to the point that their builds are illogical for anyone's needs, despite their surface-level appeal upon skimming the manual & ancient mailing list messages. So the government performs efficiently for some very specific workloads, but generally lacks necessary features to run society at web scale.
That wouldn't explain why you see the same in Australia, NZ, UK, etc etc.

It seems to me that "obvious explanation" of globalization is more parsimonious (although I acknowledge there can be multiple forces at work).

Things are set up so that corporations can "shop" for the lowest wages, taxes, environmental laws and so on. In fact they have to or face being outcompeted. Another headwind is heavy state support for "real" industry in a lot of places (that CAN see the value in having an industrial base).

The result of globalisation is nominally more efficient (in a comparative advantage sense), but hollows the industrial base in richer countries and since that is an externality not measured in dollars, here we are.

Personally I am also partial to the related narrative that this has stifled local innovation in a broad blast radius around the outsourced industries and is a major contributing factor in reduced infrastructure capacity in the west.
What if we took a more extreme version of this? Like your kid builds and sells a startup (this being HN), so now they're set for life financially, and they decide what they'll do with it is buy a lifetime supply of heroin, hire a caretaker to take care of their basic needs, and basically get high indefinitely. They're happy, they're not hurting anybody, they're even providing a living for someone. Assume they're perfectly happy too. Is that good?

I mean, you can certainly argue that the meaning of life is entirely arbitrary, and there is indeed nothing wrong with that if that's what someone wants to do. But I feel like the world is generally a better place when people in it strive for more than mere contentment. And for me personally, a couple of the key things that give life positive meaning are building relationships with other people, and striving to better myself—learning things, building skills, etc. I'm glad I do these things, rather than living an alternate life where I was equally (or maybe even if I were somehow more) subjectively happy, but less active.
Blech.

This is one of those cases where the genetic material is repeated multiple times inside the same "organism". It would be considered to be a filament made up of multiple cells, except that there isn't anything separating the individual cells, so it's technically "one cell".

It really isn't "quite common". There are some places that take pride in those things, but they are a small minority. People that have only been in the "top" departments are probably not aware of that though.

Ask HN: How hard is it to get a job working on Chromium
Specifically core projects like V8 and Blink, considering how hard it is to get a job at Google anyway.

It’s been a long time dream of mine, something I could see myself immersing my life in and having absolutely no problem.

But my experience is in enterprise roles often doing maintenance work, UI, and business logic. I’ve worked with C# primarily, I have 3 months industry experience in C++ and learned it in uni. I have a CS degree and did not go to a prestigious school which seems to be a common theme among a lot of popular devs like Eric Seidel and Lars Bak.

I’m 27 right now, is it possible I can contribute to some of the projects and get my foot in the door? Or will it always be volunteer work because I can’t invert a tree off the top of my head during a white board interview.

> > Even in this environment, you can still have dangling pointers to freed stack frames.

> How frequently does this happen in real software? I learned not to return pointers to stack allocated variables when I was 12 years old.

This happens rarely. However, the reason it isn't an issue is because C programmers are (and have to be) extremely paranoid about this kind of thing.

Rust, however, lets you recklessly pass around pointers to local variables while guaranteeing that you won't accidentally use one as a return value. One example is scoped thread pools which let you spawn a bunch of worker threads and then pass them pointers to stack allocated variables that get concurrently accessed by all the threads. The Rust type system/borrow checker ensures both thread safety and memory safety.

Would you trust a novice C programmer to use something like that?

TL;DR: Good article. Worth digging through the MBA-speak to get to the value.

As someone who has led a decent number of initiatives (and usually done at least a pretty decent job), I can confirm: The article makes good points and strongly suggests the author can walk the walk.

The biggest thing that suggests this (at least, to me) is the general focus on mindfulness. The word doesn't appear in the article at all, but the entire framing of first focusing on -- and then gently redirecting -- your internal state is in exactly the same conceptual neighborhood. And being able to get your emotions under control in emotion-spiking situations might be the most fundamental executive skill.

(Interestingly, the psychologist Lisa Feldman-Barrett has a related framework that's also very useful for this. [1] She points out that an emotional response can be mindfully observed and decoupled into its components -- and, in doing so, it can be much more easily reframed and redirected.)

There were other little things that also suggest he knows his stuff when it comes to leading knowledge workers in modern organizations. The reference to nature analogies -- and the bit about complex systems -- will get a nod of recognition from anyone who's held the job for a while. And the habit-building approach he talks about near the end suggests that he knows how to teach skills in this domain, too. It's a bit Pavlovian, but that Pavlov dude got results.

Having said that, I'll admit the points are covered in a thick layer of MBA-speak. Maybe it's just my personal style, but the mock conversation felt stilted and almost painful. And the attempt to turn "love" and "self-realization" into brandable concepts definitely made me laugh. (Good try, though!)

500 mL of Guinness (for example) has an ABV of 4.2% and offers 177 calories. 500*0.042 = 21 mL of ethanol with a density of 0.789 which is 16.57 grams at 7 calories per gram or about 115 calories, which is around 65% of the total calorie content. So yes, you can save about a third of the calories by cutting out other components, but the major caloric component in the typical alcoholic beverage is alcohol. In practice, I'd wager most liquor is consumed with added sugar.

+1. I think it’s misinterpreted without context. The quote came from a thought experiment about an extrapolated and exaggerated version of the future based on current tendencies in society. In that universe, everything is provided as a service, SaaS-style, and gives no control to their customers. Other topics in the same presentation included "what if personal privacy becomes a luxury?", where most people accept the invasiveness of such services in exchange of convenience, and only a minority can even afford their alternatives in practice.

The authors were not saying it’s the society that the World Economic Forum should be working to create, just that it seems remotely possible, certainly not a plan for a conspiracy. Rather, it’s more similar to a fiction like The Brave New World... On second thought, regardless of whether you treat it as a fiction or as an actual conspiracy, you get the same message, so I’d say the thought experiment is successful in that aspect.

FTC to crack down on companies that illegally surveil children learning online
Watched my dad struggle with this for much of his life. Smoked (cigarettes) from 12 until his early 50s, and pot from some point early in life until late 50s. Struggled for years to quit both, but he says the pot was harder to give up. It may not be a physiological addiction, but you can sure develop a strong habitual/emotional dependency. Certainly watching him struggle with it was enough to make me never want to go down that road.

The assumption here seems to be that the government would be writing the software, but it would go out to market.

AFAIK original LISP is the oldest language with dynamic-scoped variables.
