It sounds more like you want to say that the Apple II+ sucked. That’s fair. I don’t disagree with that. The sound was generated by a single click which if repeated fast enough became a buzz. I wrote a nice little routine to emulate pink noise, once, so it would sound like a car skidding. That was kind of cool.

I sense that you are too young to have first hand knowledge of these things, but if you do then your memories are just as faded as mine. I remember that we didn’t have flicker. And I was in the industry at the time developing games for the Apple II.
I've found Notion (or Google Docs, etc) to be a clearer source-of-truth and place-of-collaboration than Slack, which I've found to be better to debug ongoing issues or as a place to point people to the right notion doc.

Making sure someone gets heard in Slack isn't a top priority for me. It's surfacing information and solutions as fast as possible when they come up. Solidifying them in Notion is something a subject matter expert can do outside of the time constraints of a real-time conversation then the rest of the team can surface those answers as needed and mark where they fall short with comments in or additions to the Notion doc.

Let’s talk: hi [at] mrassili.com
But that's where you have to balance the gain updating the old toolchain against the benefits in your specific situation. Are you going to spend a lot of time on the project, or is it just a few bug fixes? Can you revive the old toolchain? Is the old toolchain churning out good enough production ready assets?

Upgrading dependencies can be a trap. Like, in the past, I've delegated a bugfix that shouldn't take more then an hour or two to a co-worker, only to see them waste an entire day in dependency / NPM hell.

To my mind, there needs to be a compelling case or argument that justifies sinking time in an upgrading exercise.
Thanks Drew. I may have been mistaken, or perhaps you added those features after I tried them.

Because it's still a motivating number that has rules around it (even if they're loosely-enforced), which my monkey brain finds appealing to make go up. If I knew it was _completely_ meaningless—say, if I knew it were impossible to ever lose—I think it'd lose its appeal, so it's a fine line they have to walk.

If you listen to the podcast they explain that it wasn't his fault.

Spoilers: he designed BER for fast passenger transit, just like Tegel, but the airport authorities wanted more shopping space. So they crammed as many shops as they could in detriment of the passenger experience. And then there's the situation with the rise of low-cost airlines who weren't allowed to use the jetway...

I definitely recommend listening to the whole series. It's really well done and a must-listen for anyone with interest in project management.
In the Java world gradle can do this with the help of a shared build cache server. There is also Gradle Enterprise but I never looked deeper into it.

That's part of it, but isn't another big piece of it financed by interest payments from people who don't realize that you're supposed to pay off your entire balance every month?
Not just the extremely rich. That's why HELOC exists. So people can take a loan out on the value of their home. I wouldn't want to do this just to have some extra cash to invest, but some do use this to say, pay for college tuition, assuming the HELOC rate is lower than the college loan rate.

Please consider optimizing all images on your blog post, as not only it takes quite a while to load for visitors, but in case of your post getting popular, your server quickly will be "hugged to death", and depending on your hosting, you might get a bigger bill due to used bandwidth. Low effort and easiest solution is adding loading="lazy" attributes to all img tags, that will prevent images below fold from loading, adding image width and height attributes are important too. Best solution is to prepare smaller thumbnail images and add links to full images on them. And after fixing please share a blog post on Hacker News on how you did it.

I'm not the biggest fan of twitter but this is a practicing internal medicine doc that is conveying information primarily aimed at other doctors in training or practice - this is information that is for the most part readily available, nothing groundbreaking here, there are podcasts on the topic, videos and other paid for sources of information. The novelty is the medium - and if there are some that benefit from it and the like the format I don't see the harm.

The term backing has a very precise meaning. It means the issuer of the currency promises to redeem the currency for a certain amount of a commodity. When people say "Tethers are backed by dollars" they mean that, i.e., that Tether Inc. promises to redeem Tethers for one dollar each. While it's true that the value of a US dollar is related (in a non-trivial way) to the output of the US economy, this doesn't mean that the dollar is backed by the US economy. The issuer of US dollars is under no obligation to redeem the dollars, and therefore it's right to say the US dollar isn't backed by anything.

> I'm not sure if you intentionally left this out, but following your quote literally just one sentence further you get

It says that these economic models assume fiat money costs nothing to produce, which is not accurate, because it does cost money. However, the production cost is not relevant for the purposes of these models, and therefore they can make this simplification and assume that it costs nothing.

> I wish the front end community tried to make existing things better instead of reinventing the wheel every year and causing immense fragmentation, especially for something like the build toolchain.

This is simply a false statement. Chrome increases its dominance every year, which actually makes it a lot easier to write frontend code, but that isn't necessarily "better".

In other areas:

- Typescript has been a huge boon to the ecosystem and is widely adopted

- Babel is the standard for transpiling code and has allowed for all these compile-to-JS projects to exist

- ESBuild/SWC exist if you want to do things faster and less flexibly, but they're still a minor part of the ecosystem

- React has existed for nearly a decade and continues to enjoy regular updates and an enormous community
> “your humours are imbalanced and you should be bled, you’ll feel better” is not far off from “your iron level is too high”, though…

The difference is that now we have both empirical evidence that it works, when it works, what the side effects are, and generally why it works. As opposed to cargo culting, poor cost/benefit analysis, and inaccurate understanding of what's actually happening.
It's not about the card per se, it's about the network.

This is true many places, although I tend to show with a tighter timetable myself.

But it's so absurd, so silly. It's actually faster to drive from Ottawa to Toronto(4 to 5 hr drive) than take a plane, and cheaper.. even with current fuel costs, too.

Haha. I meant that it’s quite hard to claim that a book that’s had an impact on your life between 20 and 50 will still have it when you’re 95. For some books, that might seem possible (say, spiritual texts or great literature). But for some, it’s quite unlikely (say, books about business, dating, or productivity).

So, no worries. My crystal ball tells me you’ve got lots of runway left!
Sure, those tools make it moderately more convenient. An intricate policy like this might still run afoul of organizational reasons that make it a challenge to get a special nonstandard thing approved.

I've also experienced the AWS console being less than stellar at fault-tolerance when acting within very restrictive, targeted IAM roles. The only solution would be an overly broad permissions grant which is not always viable. Or well, if you spend enough money you can try to beg your TAM to get it fixed, but in the meantime between "now and never", your solution would still be pushing empty commits.

> Also since it's entirely based on trust anyway I'm not sure what additional benefit signing gets you. I don't think there's really a way to prove you ran the tests.

It's a reputation and trust-building exercise, essentially - and that's one of the reasons that continuous integration is particularly useful. "Entities X, Y, Z all say that commit <ID> looks good".

I think you are being a bit disingenuous to suggest it could be a framework. Is there a framework or JS target language project you are aware of that references itself as "front end tooling"?

I wanna say it's been a decade of front end build tools that have come and gone (or stayed.. we still use a grunt file from 2013) and they all do more or less the same things a front end dev needs.
I'm in the middle of making a Host JavaScript environment for M4 microcontrollers using duktape as the JavaScript interpreter. The microcontroller mounts as a flash drive and you can save your JS to the board directly.
“Fine to flush” means physically it will go down the toilet. It does not mean 1) safe for pipes; 2) safe for septic; 3) easily filtered from any treatment plant; 4) biodegradable; 5) dissolvable

It is just bullshit marketing, but technically it’s true. Flushable means “can be flushed,” not that it’s a good or responsible idea.
The biggest problems come in when your apps are doing hacky things they shouldn't be doing. This is a common issue with things like Electron, or React Router, and of course, Webpack.

If you are fairly careful and conservative, and lucky enough to be using software after it has matured, I think most upgrades will wind up being pretty uneventful for you.

I'm saying it explicitly: your exception project probably sucked. That's probably why it was tricky to upgrade. It may not have been your fault or even the fault of the people who wrote it. But for example, it was never architecturally a good idea to have Webpack automatically import browserify Node stubs. It was never a good idea to load Node modules from within an Electron renderer thread. Not always your fault. A reasonably well-archirected app usually refactors decently into changes that fix these issues. A poorly architecture app is so fragile it's hard to imagine refactoring anything without something breaking a few miles away. If you have the latter, then no shit that upgrading dependencies sucks... I mean, changing anything else sucks too.

This isn't the root cause of every horror story... But it's a lot of them
A peerage in the United Kingdom is an aristocratic title which confers the right to sit in the House of Lords, the upper chamber of the legislature (parliament). Historically,
peerages were hereditary titles passed down to the eldest son. In modern times, peerages are usually appointed for life terms by the government.

What I find confusing about the article is that it's not clear what it means by "her brothers were 50% less likely to enter parliament". Parliament being ambiguous here.

If this refers to entering the House of Lords, then at most one brother (the eldest) could do so upon the death of their father. Is it really saying that the shame of their sisters marrying down dissuaded heirs to peerages from taking up their birthright seats? Seems odd.

Alternatively, is it suggesting that second sons and heir-apparents were standing for elections to the House of Commons (the lower chamber of the legislature, also parliament) and became less successful as their standing dropped?

It works quite well until you need a non-developer to change it. Or not using Python, or multiple technologies.
You really want to fuck up an airport? Do the following, in no particular order.

1. Spoof GPS, as in emulate the constellation. Randomize it every few minutes. Move transmitter around.

2. Plain old jam GPS. You can buy cheap and nasty GPS jammers. If you're good with electronics, hook em up to a 555 timer and trigger to prevent a lock but like 5% duty cycle.

3. Spoof ADS-B to create thousands or 10's of thousands of planes in airspace. Most systems will die from not enough ram to handle these. If they do survive, then they'll get alerts from everything everywhere.

4. Jam ADS-B. Not as terrible, but still bad.

5. Build a Gnuradio flow that watches 117.975-137 MHz and selectively emits white noise on channels when in use. Kills comms.

> you do not have to fully keep up with it all to be a successful, senior level dev

Yes, this is what changed. Things were certainly not like that when the first question was asked. That basically means the churn is over, or at least that we are in a calm period.

Everybody complaining about new tools is missing the point. New tools will always appear. The question is if you have to move like crazy between them or if you can stay put for a long while and reap the benefits of learning them.
This is pretty cool - quantum behavior is really not intuitive and being able to play with it helps clarify it

I do wish each level had more explanation about the concept it's teaching. You can figure things out if you know a small amount about how quantum mechanics work (like knowing once you measure something the superposition collapses) but the game would be a better teaching tool if there were explanations before/after you complete a level

For people interested in QM but without a physics/math background Carlo Rovelli has a book called Helgoland that explains a lot of the basics in a non-technical way
We both know those aren't even close to the same thing.

I flew through Tegel a dosen times and it was a horrible experience each time. Not sure which was worse - the old terminal, or the new barrack added on to the first one.

Also, I've seen multiple airports that allowed you to be 20 min before boarding and still get through. On Warsaw Chopin, which is 2x bigger than Tagel, I can arrive 10 min before boarding and still make it on time. With most airports the size of Tagel as well.

Having said all that - the architecture was nice indeed, and I'm sure it was very functional when it was built and there was 4x less traffic, planes were 30% smaller and the security was way lighter.

It’s really good as an embedded JS engine. Like let’s say you want to make an iOS app that executed JS. If you use V8 (Node’s JS engine), then you’re app is at a minimum 28M in size just from V8. If you use QuickJS, your app size increases by less than 1M.

Russia has no need to export to anybody who isn’t providing it with actual stuff or services.

Russia has its own free floating currency and can fund all activity within Russia using that.

For the most part it just swaps excess resources for Chinese output. The Chinese can send their own boats to pick up the exports if necessary.

Probably the same with India.

What the ineffectiveness of the sanctions is showing is that “export led growth” is a essentially a myth.
If we're being really honest, I switch to the next thing because it's fun.

The more official reason to move to the next thing is because browsers are a moving target. Browsers are constantly releasing new capabilities. And the overall population of users is always moving onto newer versions of those browsers; even if that migration lags a bit, it happens. When we can use those newer browser features, we can provide better services to users.

Vite is exciting because it's built on top of the native ES6 features that are now ubiquitously supported by most browsers. It's such a smooth ride compared to older tools. The dev experience is great, and the end-user bundles are light. I've been very impressed with it.

I sympathize with your sentiment when it comes to the back-end. I want stable tools there. But until the front-end platform (browsers) is similarly stable, some churn will be welcome to support emerging possibilities.
