> there's an adversarial mindset vs. a collaborative one

I think this is what I am most sick of in most shops. Folks afraid to be vulnerable. And/or afraid to share their status / power by sponsoring other people.
We're paralyzed by the fear of doing something. What if we do something unnecessary? What if we do something but it makes things worse? What if do something but it costs too much?

I'm almost positive we (humans) won't do anything until there is absolutely no other choice but to do something.
It seems that it is too easy to delete things in your system. Rather than solving it with reversible soft deletes I would suggest to improve the UX. I don’t agree that it simplifies foreign key management, it is most often the opposite from my point of view.
> For someone so concerned with HN guidelines you didn't seem to mind launching a personal attack against him.

I didn't. I never said 'f--koff' or 'you're a idiotic fanboy' or the likes. Commentor sides Musk strongly enough to dismiss a neutral & not-loaded opinion sufficiently with strongly worded tirade. I told 'writing like this isn't okay' on HN & you could possibly need help with a full disclaimer I am not being sarcastic. And you're faulting me?

Edit: What he said is at least true even if it's not nice sounding

Going strictly by company laws, what Musk is doing is absolutely wrong - starting with SEC episode to the latest dropping of acquisition after purchase agreement. It doesn't matter if Elon isn't my tea-time buddy. By the same yardstick everyone should stop commenting on HN because 99% of the things posted on forums aren't exactly about our work life although we somewhat/vaguely know it.

Please let us not engage in this fault finding & keep discussion civil and interesting. Quoting guidelines:

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something"
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with a work the possesses all the characteristics you've described. The closest to your description that I've read is the Atherton trilogy by Patrick Carman although there aren't any mutations in that one. If you want to try your luck, you're best bet would be to ask this question on https://old.reddit.com/r/books.

What year do you remember reading the book in? That may help narrow it down.

Just want to add that the downsides as identified in the article make little sense. Deleting a customers invoices should be a very rare thing. I can't imagine any accountant or auditor is going to be happy with an IT guy deciding when to delete invoices.

I agree, but most C++ programmers don't :/

C++ syntax is Turing-complete, so due to the halting problem, finding the declaration can take a long time, potentially unlimited in pathological cases.

A lot of apps “need” it. Consider AR games for example
I don't think anti-money laundering laws apply to federal agencies. The SEC isn't hiding this payment from the IRS, in this hypothetical scenario they are just hiding it from the bank employees. In reality, I don't think any bank employee is going to see if a customer got "more than $17M" and assume that they're a whistleblower and... do something with that.

Most states use the MSF Basic course for drivers with a normal drivers license who want to add a motorcycle endorsement. It's 10 hours classroom, 10 hours riding, so effectively a three day course though it's split up various ways.

MSF instructors can and will fail students. New motorcycle riders are usually experienced drivers, and the exceptions are almost always kids who've been riding dirt bikes for years.
TLA was one of my first too, if not the first foray outside CVS.
I have a background in electrical engineering, but a) it's 20 years out of date (I got the degree and immediately went into software), and b) my training was somewhat niche in that I focused on microprocessor design. So I'd never (for example) learned how to lay out a circuit board, or deal with mixed digital & analog effects (well, at least not at the scale of a PCB).

Recently I had a small project idea that involved a pretty basic PCB. I was surprised at how easy it was to teach myself board layout (using KiCAD) and several related skills. You can get one(ish)-off PCBs manufactured by PCBWay or OSH Park on the cheap. I haven't finished the project yet (supply chain issues), but I'm pretty sure it'll be successful, and fairly cheap, considering.

There are lots of resources online if you need more external help learning. Two I was pointed to (but haven't really dug into too deeply yet) are All About Circuits (https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/) and Ultimate Electronics (https://ultimateelectronicsbook.com/). For the more physical aspects, YouTube has been a great resource -- for example I needed to solder a 5mm x 5mm QFN IC to a breakout board, and didn't want to spend the money on a high-end rework station. A random video on YouTube taught me how to do it with some flux, solder paste, and a cheap hot air gun I bought on Amazon.

Next I'm going to look into getting a 3D printer, and learn how to design stuff for that. I expect the learning curve there will be higher (at least for me), but I don't see it as out of reach.
Then each kWh costs even more. But they already cost too much.
This isn't even remotely what the article was about. I can't help but wonder whether you actually read it before making this comment.
It's because software engineers don't need capital to do their job, giving them a ton of leverage compared to other engineers.

Imagine if you make airplane engines for GE as an ME, and you want a higher salary, who else are you going to go to? There's barely any companies in the country that have the capacity to make airplane engines, so there's less competition for your labor. Your work is probably fairly specialized to, so if you transfered into some other engineering domain, you'd start at entry level salary.

Now look at a software engineer working for google, if he wants more there's a dozen companies, in silicon valley, FAANG, wall street that will take his services, he and a few friends can even start their own thing with their laptops and a garage. And skills transfer relatively well between different software engineering jobs.

Because software as low entry to barrier and many employers and non specialized skillset, the competent generalist has massive leverage in the labor market. Mr PhD in electric optics, has 3 employers in the country that can give an opportunity to actually use his degree.
Just a guess but it sounds like it’s the style of discussion common online bleeding into real life.

Ask HN: Resume Advice?
I’m building my resume and want some guidance. Some people are telling me to write more of the potential business impact of my projects while others are saying to keep it very technical. I’m not sure which way to go?

Does spamming keywords actually work?

Any general advice would also be appreciated
I was with the author right up until the footnotes, where they take a completely unwarranted opportunity to trash a source they don't like (Never Split the Difference), calling it "poor" without either explanation or evidence.

Isn't that more-or-less what the entire rest of the article says is wrong with skeptics? Is the author just being skeptical of skeptics?
C++ was huge in the 1990s, C++'s share is probably smaller today than back then since so much of programming has moved over to managed and scripting languages.

One highly-placed creationist can do more damage than all the atheists in the world. You probably don't remember the concerns over an evangelical president realizing he could be the instrument of prophesy in pushing the big red button.

But no, it's an example of one thing that I believe is more common among creationists than non-creationists, because creationists overlap with nutbags who are evangelical more than non-creationists do. How do you otherwise arrive at the belief in the 10,000 year span?
In fact, the article simply explains the origin of arbitrage from a mathematical perspective.
If you build a simple, lower-end chip, you do so by giving it fewer hardware resources - fewer things where the implementation is via gates. That means that, in order to implement the same instruction set, you have to implement more via microcode.

I think that's what's being referred do. Microcoded execution is much simpler in terms of the hardware that you have to implement.
That's actually often used as the definition of an infinite set.
I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned Web MiniDisc yet. This combines the best of web (WASM) and MiniDisc, allowing you to write content to discs from the comfort of your web browser and dispense with all of the awful Sony software.

They only do these press releases when they issue rewards. They don't include details to protect the whistleblower's identity.
I owned a mzr700 at the time cd/mp3 players started to come to the market. It looked like something from the future when compared with the cd/mp3 players at the time. audio quality was amazing and minidisks always worked, no skipping or disk damages, and longer battery life than the cd/mp3 readers
There’s definitely more quality to the park.

There’s also more people but I think that’s an entirely separate issue. There are just more people on Earth than there was 10, 20 or 500 years ago.

Maybe we aren’t building enough new attractions. There is probably money in it.
Where I live, I am not from here, but I hear the stories all the time. It is a big place for skiing. An annual pass would be like $100 20 years ago, not it looks to being $1500 for an annual pass. I guess technically seasonal, but I think they use the annual terminology.
Stuff gets made out of different things in different climates. In Arizona it's not a big deal because the engineers expected 40 celsius as a regular occurrence and chose material compositions to withstand it. In the UK, they didn't, and we're seeing the consequences. 40 celsius has never happened in recorded British history. The previous record was 37.something.

I imagine Arizona infrastructure would fail pretty rapidly if temperatures somehow dropped to -30 celsius, and there would be Novosibirskians wondering what the big deal was.
Being unable to effectively use foreign key relationships is definitely a downside of using soft deletes. But it's also worth asking if these types of behaviors, which would also include a feature like triggers, really belongs in a database or whether it's better to have at the application level (or at least at a layer above the data layer). I'd argue that ultimately you probably don't want these things at the DB level because you get into a situation where you're sharing business logic between two (or more places).

> How do you develop locally while making sure the privacy/security of your system is not compromised?

For me and all developers I've interacted with around me, I think the answer is "we don't [make sure that the privacy/security of our systems are not compromised]".

I would bet it's fairly common to have multiple machines however. My work machine has never seen my banking credentials or HN password. But of course a bunch of work-related sensitive stuff. And I of course have a bunch of programming stuff on my home machine, which I mostly just hope are not doing nefarious stuff.

If I wanted to up my security (in just this aspect) I would probably go for a simple VM as a first step. Resonable enough separation, while not causing too much havoc in my workflow. No folder sharing, just SSH in to it and treat it like a remote VPS, but local.

The next step up, which also increases isolation between other stuff (should I really trust any application to not do bad stuff?) would probably be QubeOS[1]. While I haven't used it, I would guess it would be a pretty major change to my current setup.

Vimeo Announces Layoffs
What I had in mind was something more innocent like: mid-level employee engages in illegal activity (e.g. misrepresents some critical data in a report, engages in anticompetitive behavior, etc.), blows the whistle on company and puts blame on management. Whistleblower is granted immunity, company is fined large amount and employee collects a large payout.

I'm not saying this actually happened but it seems that large rewards may create such incentives. I might also be way off here, but it's really hard to know given the lack of information surrounding the rewards.
Because too many water rights were assigned 100 years ago, and if the farmers stop using it, they'll lose the water rights. So they grow alfalfa in the desert to use up the water so they can keep the water rights.
Air transportation can only compete with cars in terms of pollution when a lot of mass is transported (e.g. for an aircraft with 300 passengers versus a 4-person car, pollution per passenger is about equal). For small transport, cars win by a large margin.
That's not a vector of natural numbers.
FWIW, the article does include some data on the distribution, as well as address your exact objection:

> Since posting this experiment, I've received a lot of side comments along the lines of, "Well, of course I don't expect Bionic Reading to work for most people, but for [my subpopulation], it really works." If that were the case, we might expect to see disproportionate benefits for those participants who read faster with Bionic Reading than for those who read faster without Bionic Reading. Let's look at how many participants read faster with each font and their average speed gains.

Table 3: Summary speed differences per faster font
Count Percent Delta (WPM)
Bionic 998 52% 35
Non-Bionic 918 48% 43

> The number of people who read faster with Bionic Reading was slightly greater (52%) than the number of people who read faster without Bionic Reading (48%). That said, those who read faster with Bionic Reading only picked up 35 words per minute on average. In contrast, those who read faster without Bionic Reading picked up 43 words per minute. It does not appear that when Bionic Reading works, it really works.
I use soft deletes to maintain insights. For instance I would like to know how many users that has been created in total even if some has been deleted later on. Is this a bad approach? Most of the other comments here seems to use it only to be able to restore deleted entries.
I used to be optimistic that in the end the humanity would pull through and manage to keep global warming under +2°C.

After covid I've lost a lot of that hope. We've seen the masses unwilling to undergo the incredibly minor inconvenience of wearing a mask and getting a jab to prevent deaths of their neighbours.

How can we hope to together give up our comfort to the extent it will be needed to face the challenges that lay ahead?
Unfortunately we were never able to procure SPARC based systems since we are running general purpose clusters, however we were able to get some Sun ZFS 74xx series storage.

We had its smaller sibling 7320 for testing for some time. I was lucky to make the benchmarks and tests on that, and it was unbelievable for its size, so we got its bigger sibling with a pretty hefty configuration.

It had a dtrace based zero overhead real-time monitoring dashboard and, the insights and optimization possibilities were unbelievable for a device of that era. It was basically a proper enterprise storage with all the interfaces, bells and whistles with the practicality of a home desktop NAS device.

Select LUN, select capacity & disk config, select share strategy, select interfaces and it's done. The fun part? It was able to saturate any interface on itself, incl. Infiniband.
Samsung switched to WearOS because they realized their Tizen OS was a failure on smartwatches just as it was on smartphones. Growth was stagnating, their app ecosystem was dead and the development environment was a nightmares.

So Samsung did what Samsung does best and saved face by convincing Google to say WearOS 3 was a collaboration between Google and Samsung. Samsung probably did contribute code, but there is no Tizen in WearOS nor were these OSs "merged" like some people claimed. Samsung abandoned Tizen because they saw the writing on the wall. They were spending millions developing an OS that wasn't growing for an app ecosystem that was dead.
Nuclear can not follow load fluctuations, so nuclear needs gas (or hydro).

The Voyager mission's critical moment
I mostly agree with you¹, however, it is a problem if the current computing environments does not actually allow people to do anything of their own. Just like 80’s computers had BASIC, there should be Flash-like authoring programs which people could write shareable programs on. But there aren’t! Specifically the sharing part, I mean. You can’t write a simple Poke the Penguin app and send it to your friend for fun anymore. You’re at the whims of enormous gatekeepers and censors.

> Neither of these descriptions provide a positive assertion of warehouse work being not terrible.

And you have every right to that opinion, but that wasn't quite the topic of the discussion; rather, the topic was whether all warehouse working conditions are equally terrible, and my experience (as well as the experiences of my coworkers during that time, some of whom came from Amazon) strongly suggests otherwise.

> I see that you've also fallen for that trap of hating one type of low income work more than another.

That's hardly a "trap"; that's a basic preference for doing hard work v. doing hard work while also being endlessly emotionally abused as part of the job description - and even ignoring Amazon, the former tends to pay at least marginally better.

Maybe you should follow your own advice instead of yet again projecting onto me.

And hopefully you realize that I already do agree with that disdain (as is obvious from the other comments of mine on this site over the last 10 years).

If we do, then hopefully it'll be under better circumstances, without the initial hostility.
exactly this, what is good code if not well-designed. I don't buy the population idea of "different sides of the brain either". Anyone who works in software are generally particular, detailed people at the very least. Clarity is generally a good objective — for both designers and developers.
With nukes, the cost and schedule overruns are the whole point. It would not be approved at all without prospect of those, as payoffs for gatekeepers.

That is why SMR will not find traction.
Except that engines and transmissions almost never cost as much to repair or even replace as batteries (which are getting more and more expensive over time as supply chain and materials shortages increase). They are also repairable by more people, including the actual vehicle owner.

An eye-opening perspective came to me a few years ago when I first heard the quote,” When you’re 20, you care what everyone thinks, when you’re 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you’re 60, you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place“[0]
That can be good and bad, but is a personally useful frame of reference for the world. It helps to not take things too personally, but also to be intentionally active in people’s lives when I _want_ to be considered.
