Ask HN: Teams with mixed dev machines – Intel and Apple Silicon
I head up an engineering team and im curious to know what others have experienced with having developers with mixed machines in their fleet.

My current team all have intel i7 based developer machines from 2015. They are working fine. However they are starting to show age.

Im employing some new employees soon, and was thinking of getting the Apple Silicon machines. However before I commit to that, wanted to know what challenges or issues I should be considering or being aware of when having a team that would essentially have two different architecture setups.

We do primarily web development and also do react native mobile apps.

We also have just migrated our core platform from .NET Framework to .NET Core.

We utilise docker too.
What is RN?
That's going to be confounded because people who have kids are probably self selected to be doing well financially, which is correlated with mental accuity.
The early VCs make money as long as they can sell their stake to a different set of VCs in a later round.

The later VCs make money if the thing IPOs before the universe proves it can never be profitable (as with Uber).
This is why we need charging at where you park for work.

Wouldn't be surprised if they butchered it by using react native honestly. They're a skilled team but a lot of the problems I've heard of sound like hybrid dev. issues.

It seems like the main values of Tesla's cylindrical cells are that cylinders pack fairly tight, but also they make for pretty cool looking assembly lines because you can roll them around. Neither of these are particularly useful qualities in a production vehicle.

I'm curious if a prismatic cell solution - especially if they take 'prismatic' literally instead of meaning "rectangular", can be better optimized for heat dissipation. It's easier to tune surface area to internal area when you can make more sophisticated shapes, like truncated cuboids to provide rectangular cooling channels, or concave surfaces to make cylindrical ones.
I'm guessing you mean "and the software is fast enough", because OpenLDAP itself has been the world's fastest distributed database for over a decade, and nothing else even comes close.

Since you built on top of SQLite, then you're already at least an order of magnitude slower. You could speed it up a bit by using SQLightning, which replaces SQLite's Btree engine with OpenLDAP's.

But yes, it's obvious your aim is to provide bare minimum LDAP functionality for people who were only taught SQL and have no desire to learn LDAP. A bit of a loss, because the workloads LDAP is used for most often are things RDBMSs suck at.

The not-so-easy part arises when you need to operate on a SortedList and want to enforce that it remains sorted after said operation. Maybe in the specific case of SortedList it's not that bad, but my (limited) experience is that the complexity in such cases can accumulate surprisingly high and surprisingly quickly.

I have frequently found myself out of my depth when trying to write what I thought should be straightforward dependently-typed code. I got the hang of it after a lot of practice (as well as a lot of reading, note-taking, and outside help). But now you're asking programmers to learn an entirely new set of skills on top of everything else they're expected to know.

I love the idea of dependent types, and I've had a lot of fun messing around with Idris 2, but I think dependently-typed languages have a lot of work to do in order to bridge the ergonomics gap.

I'm not convinced that, for garden-variety software development, dependent types are substantially safer than extensive use of contracts and property-based testing.

The biggest problems with "colorless async" arise with FFI. You really can't abstract over the differences between a real OS mutex and a language mutex when you're interfacing with system libraries that expect locks to actually behave like locks. Otherwise it's a recipe for deadlocks.

Hyperscript isn’t in need of a resurgence, it’s the default transform for JSX. That’s React and Preact, and most other JSX libraries/frameworks (including, I’ve heard, Solid despite its preferred JSX transform). It’s also commonly in usage in equivalent ClojureScript syntax. If one were defining a pure-JS DSL for a DOM-like structure, I think you’d be hard pressed to find something more suitable.
I used to have really bad anxiety, not as bad anymore, but I have no doubt that once I start missing sleep the anxiety plays a big role. I doubt anyone can go more than a few missed nights w/o getting really anxious - I think it is an inevitable result of sleep deprivation.

I can totally relate to your surge of adrenaline - my body gets really funky when I miss sleep. Most people get sleepy and more prone to doze off, but I have the exact opposite (I get wired but tired) and can often feel my heart beating in my ears and chest.

I also remember discussing with my wife if the hospital would sedate me beyond something like a bezo which was of limited use for me (I would sleep 1-2 hours per pill). Sounds like you had success - I'll keep that in mind if there is ever a next time :-)
I don't see how rust will manage to fix async await, unless making a v2 of the language. While working with sync rust is often a very pleasant experience, everytime I used async await was awful.
To the point that I avoid using rust for web /networking stuff, any other option is better.
It's also very discouraging to read some people telling there's no issue with async await. Of course if you use a thousands of libraries (that are more or less hacks), and never use trait and generics, it's probably a decent experience half of the time I'd say.

It's something I've only encountered with rust community, in Java when a feature sucks, we just say it sucks. Even the architect that approved it will say it sucks.

I don't really understand this thinking. The government swore up and down that NSA wasn't conducting mass surveillance and it turned out that they were.

How do you trust the government enough to keep its hands out of a digital ledger system that's supposedly private when we all know how valuable that information is? The whole point of crypto to begin with was to pry control away from the government.

Yes Apple has really disappointed me with their push to make native software difficult to built for their platforms. They're deprecating common 3rd party native libraries (OpenGL), their own native tools (kernel extensions - admittedly rarely needed), and making it difficult to do CI/CD for MacOS (no VMs).
Not all crypto transactions. Some blockchains effectively use advanced cryptography to obscure sender, recipient, & amount beyond any known methods of revealing them.

Zcash & Monero are the leaders here. Zcash, used with its fully ‘shielded’ addresses, is theoretically strongest; Monero probably enough against most realistic threats – but maybe a very-deep-pocketed nation-state could decode some flows.

But neither creates an ‘open Venmo’ or Bitcoin-like full public record of payers/payees/amounts for casual analysis by anyone.

[Disclosure: I’m a compensated advisor to the company, now a nonprofit, that initially launched Zcash.]

Please read about "privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies like Grin, Monero, and Zcash" and how they work.

I can assume that you already have strong opinions against cryptocurrencies, but if you're going to critique privacy-coins, it's probably a good idea to have at least some understanding of how they work.
Anecdotally, one of my childhood friends turned out like this. He scraped by doing a worthless game design degree before moving back home and staying there AFAIK. I think the root cause was mental, but none of us (his old friend group) knew how to help.

Yeah, I have an older model S. It could be my model just doesn't get the care that newer ones do, and my experience reflects an "early mover" experience.

> Its about that the best minerals people all predict that lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite is gone be in shortage.

6% of nickel is used in batteries. 2.7 million tonnes annually are produced, enough for billions of kWh of batteries.

The majority of spheroidal graphite for batteries is synthetically produced because it has better performance. It can be made trivially from virtually any carbon source, including biofuels.

Lithium is more common than lead. Mines are coming. It is set to be wildly oversupplied.

Cobalt use has been dropping by nearly 50% per generation. It's readily mined outside the DRC, which is just the cheapest.

Some people somewhere need to worry about metal production. The same as people need to worry about polypropylene or vinylene carbonate. People did not worry about indium supplies when the iphone took off, or how it would impact tantalum, or whether we'll have enough quartz to make solar panels. It's not important for the PUBLIC to consider these things; they're trivial in comparison to eg charging infrastructure.
Better still would be to take progressively typed languages, combined with contracts and property-based testing, and iterate toward a more precise contract for all of your code whenever it became necessary or whenever you got bored.

What are the consequences of deciding that no Foo's are allowed to be red? Hmm, that's interesting/unintended...

The main difficulties with statically typed languages seem to be both 1) quickly arriving at a workable prototype, and 2) dealing with the consequences of regrettable decisions made early on. Those two being in tension contributes a lot of drama, and not just in analysis paralysis.
I don't like the framing of thermalizing potential energy being 100% efficient because efficiency as a general concept is the fraction of what you did vs. what you could do. It's incoherent mathematically, poor communication, and inconsistent with the way the word efficiency is used in other contexts in everyday speech. Direct thermalization is the least efficient possible action. It also leads to absurd statements like 'heat pumps are 400% efficient'. This is further exacerbated by the communication not expressing the upper bound in any coherent way (which is about 800-900% by this framing depending on temperature differential).

You could frame it as fraction of the heating that is possible at carnot efficiency, I guess. Ie. the amount of heat you put into your room / the amount of heat you with a perfect machine could at typical temperature differentials.

Then an element would be about 10-15% efficient (as measured at the wall vs. an ideal heat pump) and gas would be...awkward to calculate (I'd have to open up a textbook if not just multiplying max COP and max thermal efficiency of a heat engine), but somewhere in the 20-30% efficient range. Electric including a thermal generator would be in the 8-10% range somewhere.

Electric heat pumps would be around 50-70% by this metric, or in the 25-40% range somewhere if using a thermal generator.

Thinking about it, I like this metric because it really highlights how much more wasteful burning gas to heat a home with electricity is if you're not using the waste heat for something. If you're not using renewable electricity, even heat pumps don't break even if they're not high quality and well maintained.

Really drives home the importance of insulation and good curtains in cold areas.

Edit: looking at absorption heat pumps, they seem to be a little better than my guesstimate. I think they outperform fossil fuel powered electric heat pumps.

Can the myth of cheap, safe and quick to deploy fission energy please die?

It's not cheap, for good reasons[1]:

> Among the surprising findings in the study, which covered 50 years of U.S. nuclear power plant construction data, was that, contrary to expectations, building subsequent plants based on an existing design actually costs more, not less, than building the initial plant.

> The authors also found that while changes in safety regulations could account for some of the excess costs, that was only one of numerous factors contributing to the overages.

It's not safe:

> US nuclear regulators greatly underestimate potential for nuclear disaster, researchers say[2]

> Now I was serving on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, [snip] In 2009, President Barack Obama named me the agency’s chairman. [snip]
> Afterward, the falling cost of renewable power changed the calculus. Despite working in the industry for more than a decade, I now believe that nuclear power’s benefits are no longer enough to risk the welfare of people living near these plants. I became so convinced that, years after departing office, I’ve now made alternative energy development my new career, leaving nuclear power behind. The current and potential costs — in lives and dollars — are just too high. [3]

It's always slow to deploy[4]:

> Finland's long-delayed Olkiluoto-3 nuclear reactor connected to the power grid for the first time on Saturday, the plant's operator said, 12 years after its planned launch. Located on Finland's west coast, Olkiluoto-3 is the country's first new nuclear plant in over four decades and Europe's first in almost 15 years.

> This announcement comes after a 4 month sabbatical where Karpathy said he wanted to take some time off to “sharpen my technical edge,” which makes it sound like this is the result of frustration with the technical approach instead of burnout.

That's exactly what I would expect someone burning out to say. You feel the burnout so you need time to get over it and feel 100% (regain your technical edge). You're still burnt out after 4 months, so you don't come back.

Frustration with the technical approach can also cause burnout.
