I think there is another way of looking at it, as a way for the incredible growth in startups to the finally being understood by the new and old entrepreneurs.

Hiring and such didn't only happen in the pandemic period but also overall in almost the entire past decade(2012-2021).

Hurting the understanding of the people in the market, we are now seeing the sudden shrinking to have caused them to figure out priorities of either growth or profitability in even later phases of the business. At least that's what it seems like to me.

Because the jobs market is almost just as good in tech as always, it's just big startups and companies are shrinking and increasing margins while smaller ones in early phases of growth are still increasing jobs or just in sheer numbers.
I was laid off a few years ago because the company that hired me hadn't actually won the contract they thought they won. Really hard to pin that on engineering's performance.

As of recent I believe propane and/or CO2 is the only refrigerant left allowed for any indoor use. That seems to be an acceptable gas, or am I mistaken?
Only I can ban, and I haven't banned anyone in 2 years. You can read my comments here about the attacks.

There's actual valid criticism and feedback like in https://github.com/vlang/v/discussions/7610

But there's also trolling, harassment, and completely baseless attacks.
I both read and watch news heavily, including both US news and international outlets.

No, that comparison doesn't come up literally ever that I've heard from. I do recall several anti-war pieces in NY Times and others encouraging us to not back Ukraine, the usual war hawk pieces suggesting to escalate, and a bunch of poorly written stories that rehashed weeks old tweets.

As the joke goes there are two kinds of people: those who believe in conspiracies and those who have actually interacted with the government.

The closest you might get is something like Journolist which was Ezra Klein trying to convince other news heads to parrot his takes - which is a disgrace, but not some secret conspiracy.
Yup, that's the one. Had that exact same feeling of frustration which is why the story is still fresh in my memory 2 years later.
That's not at all the vibe I get from one of the lead devs posting here. I see it more as frustration from dealing with low effort snipes/trolls.

The language used on the main vlang site also seems calm, clear and unsensational (at least to me).
I don't remember the exact threshold (It is definitely the case, over 98 degrees Fahrenheit -Body temperature, but that seems high), where moving air no longer cools you. I think that humidity can bring that threshold waaaayyyy down.

I used to live in Maryland. The summers there are brutal. On hot days, rolling down the window is like having a hair dryer pointed at your face.

I was talking with a friend of mine in Delhi, a couple of weeks back, when they were having the heat wave.

It's no joke. People are dropping dead at their workstations.
Your claim of "(Work in progress) There's no garbage collection or reference counting. V cleans everything up during compilation. If your V program compiles, it's guaranteed that it's going to be leak free." was absolutely a lie. That's why you had to eventually fall back to reference counting.

The newer reference counting system has an example but it's very easy to conjure a working example of a system that has fundamental holes. When people use it for larger programs it crashes or leaks even today. Is that incorrect?
I have relatives in Russia. There is a big gap between how they see the current world and how it's reported in the western media. For them Russia is the last really independent and free country in the world.
Is that a question because it seems like you've already decided what it is.

A 300 dollar tablet dies quickly in the automotive environment with outdoors-like variation in temperature and humidity. Tablet manufacturers literally write in their product sheets "do not leave the device in a car or it may get damaged"; if you leave an iPad in direct sun for a month and it dies, it's expensive for you, if the same happens to a car console, that's expensive for the manufacturer which has to repair it under warranty.

The temperature range for iPad listed by Apple is 0 to +35 C for operation and -20 to +45 C for storage. The required temperature range for electronics on automotive dashboards (which may be exposed to direct sun) is -40 to 90 C, which effectively requires different materials, which means you can't even reuse most components.

Other side as it relates to Europe, RU and some bleed over into the US has a clear theory - 4th Political Theory/Traditionalism, see Alexander Dugin. It’s behind most of the fascist-ish rise in Eastern Europe, invasion of Georgia/UKR, and quite a few links to the US.

Fwiw, it comes from the observation you had about what is next if liberalism, communism, and fascism aren’t working for a culture? The answer is an odd hybrid of the three.
In many European countries, employees have to give notice periods before quitting. They can't just not show up and say I quit. I have seen one month per year of employment topping out at 6 months
Yeah, the trams in my city generally are not designed to cool down more than 5°C from outside temperature.
But how does such a dramatic change happen when waiting twenty minutes between hits? My wife was also an objective observer of my behavior in between hits and noticed no changes between the first three. The experience after the fourth was extremely different - more than I think one hit could possibly provide. My understanding is that joints and one-hit vaporizers are the best option to "control" how much you are ingesting. My experience, though, is that it did not provide a good amount of control. When I was not accidentally combusting the cannabis, I was unsure if I was inhaling anything from what was supposed to be the "vaporized" amount. Maybe it's because of my lack of consistent and good heating and inhaling practices.
Most companies exist to make money, which is also my goal in working for them. Though I did work for a company once where the better we did for our clients the more it would end up costing the taxpayers. I joked that it would be in the public interest if the company did a poor job or closed down... I was fired shortly after that (though not in a way where cause and effect could be proven).
It is absolutely possible to calculate engineering productivity at the product level. The arithmetic is very simple. It’s far more difficult at the individual level, though.
I really really love how this post touches on the bullshit that is the carbon credit market. Question: what incentive do BigCos have to buy your "high quality" carbon offsets vs the inferior ones you mentioned? Do you price cheaper per ton of CO2 credited? At the end of the day they're just trying to comply at the cheapest price possible, right?
Flowminder | flowminder.org | Infrastructure Engineer | Remote in the UK | Full or part-time | https://www.flowminder.org/about-us/work-with-us/infrastruct...

Flowminder is a pioneering, internationally operating non-profit organisation that supports disaster relief and development efforts through several products including the analysis of data gained from mobile phones and household surveys in privacy and security preserving manners.

We are now looking for an Infrastructure Engineer with excellent communication skills to facilitate and (depending on experience) drive and lead the expansion of our small but worldwide infrastructure and product installations in cooperation with key technology partners.

We use terraform, docker, linux, python, Postgres, airflow, GCP and anything else that gets the job done. Our infrastructure sits in mobile phone operators' data centres in interesting places around the world, and we use it to help people.

We value autonomy, a drive to make stuff better, and being curious.
It's certainly much better if they don't even consider working there, as opposed to taking a job there and then complaining about everything, like Janneke Parrish (formerly) of Apple, etc.
keep going bc you're on the right track.
PrettySize 0.3 release and a weakness in rust’s type system
Interesting. I have always felt the opposite. It's always been stable for me, that's why I rewrote V in V so early.

We also have thousands of tests.

Do you have any examples?
"When I hear the word 'Sahara' I think of a physical place, in northern Africa. When I hear the word 'desert' I think of an ecological system, characterized primarily by low rainfall and sandy soils."

I understand that... but Sahara means the latter in Arabic. Any desert is Sahara.
Yes and no. Punishing your kid for some dumb but innocent action has the potential to make them too cautious. Additionally, they might damage the toaster because they have no experience on how to properly open and clean it and that would make things much worse. That's especially true if your kid might be neuro-divergent - e.g. kids with ADHD tend to be clumsy but cannot help it, they might be 30% behind in motor coordination. So your 12yo might have the eye-hand coordination of a 7-8yo, and I would not let a kid that age clean a toaster on their own.

IMO, the best course of action would be to not ridicule or reprimand them but explain how this wasn't the best course of action and then clean the toaster together with the kid - that way they learn how to do it and don't feel like an idiot. And you don't have to fume over what your kid did wrong but spend some time together.

Obviously, if your kid actually IS dumb and reckless, things would be different.
Hey, I went through another one of the examples, the lack of SFINAE, here's how I tested: I used the same methodology as the linked blog post. I'm getting the same compiler error as the blog post. Are you able to reproduce this?
I do not see comparisons of today with 2001 or 2008 as hyperbolic. I was working during both of those and remember them as fairly localized. Large areas were demolished, but there were plenty of other areas to move into for sharp, technically literate folks.

I had friends who, in 1999, were freshly-minted millionaires at Microstrategy, then lost it all less than a year later. And a friend who joined Lehman after his Wharton MBA in the summer of 2006. While it was not fun to be in the middle of the burst they all easily found high paying jobs within a few months.

I suspect this crisis may be worse as, after spending trillions on covid lockdowns, we have fewer options to spend our way out of this problem. The pain in both 2001 and 2008/9 was limited as the US pumped money into economy and inflated another bubble just as the previous one was bursting, and I think this option is not easy to use today. But I am not an economist, we shall see in a couple of years how this shakes up.
I'm glad I got to visit in 1989. The only hotel room I've ever stayed in that had no windows.

It was oddly not that different from San Francisco. Both places have many, many Chinese people on the streets; just a few more in HK. In both places you might wander into a store or restaurant where not everyone speaks English; slightly more often in HK, but there was always someone who did.

That's up to the 'method' part, which is what all the fuss is about.
I've lived in Jakarta (long time ago) and visited recently for work. One story sums up how I feel about Indonesia:

I worked for a globally-distributed company. The founder, org, and some engineers were located in Indonesia. We had a company-wide "working retreat" in Bali for a month where I got to work alongside our Indonesian Software Engineer team.

At some point, I got up and started to refill a disposable Dasani water bottle I had been using at the water dispenser. The senior dev comes over to me looking shocked.

"What are you doing?"
"Umm...I'm getting some more water?"
"Don't you know about BPAs?"
"Yeah"

He began to explain I shouldn't re-use water bottles because it gets more BPAs in the water. I just said "thanks, I'm okay" and kept re-using the bottle. I also asked around, it was a common belief among the rest of the group.

What I find most interesting is how we change the meaning of genius over time.

I can remember as a kid that Mozart was considered a genius on par with Einstein. No one was considered a genius just because of the size of their bank account.

Now I think almost any billionaire is considered at least on the level of Mozart. "All" Mozart did was make music.

I doubt we would even be that impressed by Einstein today. If he is so smart why doesn't he at least have a billion dollar net worth?

Mozart in 2022 would be a great soundtrack composer that almost no one would consider a genius unless somehow he figured out how to make a billion dollars from selling soundtracks. Then by modern standards, of course he is a genius.

> frustration from dealing with low effort snipes/trolls

That's exactly what it is :)
Reminds me of a recent article (probably linked here on HN), about how corporate "social activism" is ~99% performative activism, with >50% of that aimed at current & potential employees.

Flip-side: I'll bet that a lot of employees of older & larger corporations, governments, etc. are quietly practicing some combination of willful blindness and cognitive dissonance - because "leave because of my values" is really not a workable option for them.
eh....when push to comes to shove, compensation remains the number driver for job change, followed by career development, with working mode (remote / WFH) rapidly coming up behind those two. The values response is a high status answer to a questionnaire, not a priority factor in job change.
How would that explain it? Past authoritarianism seems a poor predictor of social mobility in the modern world.
It definitely kicks the power light on for a bit under a second on my 2010 era desktop. The (high end, low wattage) power supply is delivering enough voltage to keep the motherboard power controller up.

I have no idea if it discharges all the different voltage rails. I don't like having the fans try to spin up while I'm mucking about, and it stops that from happening.

Of course, from an equipment damage perspective, grounding yourself to the case ground is much more important than discharing the PSU capacitors.

I usually physically unplug the computer, push the power button, then open / touch the case (I'm in a humid climate).

I've never had an issue (ignorging fires, but those happened when the computers were intentionally energized).
It's quite likely people will be murdered because of this leak.
Yeast has been genetically modified to produce psilocybin ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S109671761... ). Researches have yielded the equivalent of about 60g dried shroom in only 1 liter of solution. When psychedelics become as easy to produce as beer, the world is gonna be a whole lot weirder.

Yeah I've noticed this too. It's basically democracy versus a number of disparate countries that have united over their shared dislike of democracy.

As for what Russia and China can offer, there is no great ideology, but what I think they try to sell to their citizens is some combination of nationalism, wealth and solid pragmatic rule. The west is currently wealthier of course, but China is upwardly mobile so it remains to be seen whether they will eventually manage to eclipse say the US on a gdp/capita basis.

If they manage to do that, and can contrast their leader with some unpopular US one, they will have a decent value proposition in many eyes.
Neat! Something, something, Greenspun but Erlang. You should check out Lumen. Not to dissuade you at all, but doesn't making a new language greatly limit who can use your platform? Or was it on purpose so that only frolicking goat angels can fly through the eye of a needle?

CEO: "Don't worry we are not planning any layoffs!"

me: "Phew, OK realtor let's close on this new house purchase! It's a big investment but my future looks great!"

<two weeks later>

CEO: "I'm sorry but I was wrong and you are terminated effective immediately."

Bank: "Congrats on your house purchase closing, your new monthly payment of $XXXX is due in two weeks!"

How is THAT a better situation than warning people there could be instability ahead? People are being thrown completely under the bus with no warning.
I have lived years w/o air conditioning in tropical West Africa and desert areas of North Africa. I have also spent plenty of time sitting in standstill traffic during my years in Florida and Louisiana. I have never used air conditioning. If you have a valid medical need for a/c, you could be accommodated. However, if you just want to shutoff the outside world by rolling up the windows, then perhaps you should be the one paying for that luxury.
It seems more likely that Russia and China are still decades behind the US but considerably more willing to hype up technology they don't actually have. China has made some progress but they are a long ways behind. Russia, well, ... Ukraine is demonstrating how stagnant their military capability has become. I kinda wonder how many of their nukes would actually fly right now if they were crazy enough to push the button.
The biggest payment provider in Japan now is Paypay, started between SoftBank, YahooJP and Paytm, an Indian company. They just popped up one day a few years ago and ate everyone’s lunch, dinner and breakfast.

How to Change Browser URL in HTMX?
You can't run for the local legislature unless you are approved. They stop some people from leaving at the airport if they protested. They arrest you for minor acts of resistance like the color of your shirt. They removed statues that were commemorating the Tiananmen Square protests. If you are a westerner then maybe you can keep living your life though.
more investments in unmanned combat systems

Isn't that why we should invest in hypersonic missiles? It is a relatively cheap unmanned alternative to building aircraft carriers (and the obligatory fighters), and other large vulnerable systems.

George Soros recently complained that China's skill I'm AI is being used to supercharge their authoritarianism.

"AI is particularly good at producing instruments of control that help repressive regimes and endanger open societies. Interestingly, the Coronavirus reinforced the advantage repressive regimes enjoy by legitimizing the use of personal data for public control purposes.

With these advantages, one might think that Xi Jinping, who collects personal data for the surveillance of his citizens more aggressively than any other ruler in history, is bound to be successful. He certainly thinks so, and many people believe him."[1]

Ask HN: If you’ve considered homeschooling, what’s stopping you?
Hi all, I’m a teacher and startup founder building a platform to support families homeschooling. I’m curious to know for those of you who have considered this approach, but not taken the leap yet, what’s stopping you and what kind of tools would make it a no-brainer/easier for you to adopt.
One option would be to tax it based on the amount of thc. Get the rates right and you could make it more profitable to produce less potent stuff.

Current Red Hat release have still like 15(?) years of support, so no rush.

Otherwise the same thing as usual: pay someone to build actually secure automation tools. The way X does these is horribly insecure and broken by design, so wayland rightfully says they won't support doing it that way. Nothing about not doing these ever.

Same for screen recording by the way. "Any app can see everything with absolutely no security"=not supported anymore. "Any app can use this standard way to ask for permission to record"=new. Obviously that breaks older software, but that is on purpose. So you had a transition period where for instance OBS did not work on wayland, then it was updated and now it does.
> Ideology does not factor into the interpretation of the law by judges in court cases

It certainly does. That's one big reason why judges often disagree and judges' rulings can often be predicted by which party appointed them.

But the copyleft ideology in particular rarely factors into court cases, because few judges care about it.
