> If you can use Rust, ignore Carbon

> If you want to use Rust, and it is technically and economically viable for your project, you should use Rust. In fact, if you can use Rust or any other established programming language, you should. Carbon is for organizations and projects that heavily depend on C++; for example, projects that have a lot of C++ code or use many third-party C++ libraries.
Yes, but the camera had to be opened in a darkroom and the film manually cut up and developed. I'm sure you could acquire your own film and do it yourself, but it wasn't exactly approachable. But I expect that it was primarily a technological limitation, and not meant to be a form of vendor lock-in.

"You Press the Button, We Do the Rest" was Kodak's marketing slogan.

I have no idea where the sudden hostility in your last paragraph came from, but it's ascribing nonexistent malice to me. I'll try to address a couple of your points the best I can regardless.

> Once a month, you copy the per-user keys that haven't been deleted onto a new encrypted volume, then tell the TPM to delete the key for the old encrypted volume: garbage collecting the deleted keys in an unrecoverable fashion. This avoids the hassles with having to failover a database so frequently

This ignores the existence of database indexes.

What I was saying (I thought quite explicitly) was that strict compliance to GDPR appears unreasonably burdensome to most companies, and thus most companies stop at a line they draw earlier (that line frequently being the lack of hardware guarantees re: block remapping). This is not the same as saying no one can comply with GDPR, and I had no intention of making GDPR look impossible to comply with. Quite the contrary in fact—I believe its current requirements can and should be complied with quite cheaply and efficiently, but the most effective path to that requires support from hardware manufacturers (and possibly others) that customers and regulators currently don't demand.

This is not a take-down of GDPR or a malicious strawman mockery of its requirements as you're (quite unkindly and wrongly) imputing me with. If anything, it was a plea for customers, regulators, and/or lawmakers to realize they need to expand their GDPR demands to require that vendors of other parts of the hardware/software stack (particularly storage device manufacturers) provide better support for GDPR compliance.

How much does a top of the line ASML fab cost, for reference? Not sure what our alternatives here are to giving big players a bunch of money, hate to say it.
You're right, there was a definite difference north of Yosemite. I think that is what was most striking to me.
This is deeply untrue.
> Overall, less people will land in jail

Why not just give prisoners with short sentences a choice between jail and the correctional battalion?

And also add robots to the force to aid servicepeople. The Boston Dynamics dog robot clearly has military applications so why not install a remotely operated gun turret, a targetting computer and a video feed on it?
Just because some people have suffered through worse doesn't mean that you can use that to invalidate someone else's suffering.
TFA is nonsense. Hard deletes should almost never be used, period. The application credentials should not even have permission to issue delete statements, thus reducing potential damage from bad actors. Things like ON CASCADE DELETE should not even exist. Anyone using them must stop and rethink their life decisions.
You don't need to switch to MongoDB to have a JSON document server. Postgres has excellent JSON support, you can just put it all in Postgres. Bonus feature: you can easily migrate your unstructured data to structured data.
You make a good argument but it's unfortunately not in response to anything I'm saying.

I never said hyperview isn't RESTful. In fact, it's probably one of the few examples of a technology that follows the REST principles to the letter you're advocating for and thus why you used it as example.

Yet it's also an example of the lack of necessity of the uniform interface constraint. As the developer of everything in the application, I don't need metadata to describe the resources or self-descriptive messages. It describes everything, I as the developer, would already know. It's pointless.

Regular software clients that aren't "browsers" like hyperview, the self-description metadata don't help there either.

So I guess I'm saying the whole uniform interface constraint is completely misguided for any software that isn't some kind of browser. And then only if that browser is actually meant to be a browser.
Seems like a self-promoting post, I wouldn't really trust it, because when I looked them up this turned up:

> Brie Wolfson @zebriez helping founders craft company culture via @koolaidco, musing on http://founder-fodder.ghost.io used to @stripe

It seems to be tailored for the founders looking for ways to get more free work out of their employees, through "culture".

Maybe I'm cynical, but the whole thing reads like they didn't ask for high standards, care and respect in your work, but that they just asked for more of your time at no additional cost.

There are studies showing that output quality degrades with more crunch, overtime, and fatigue. Getting a good night sleep has more impact on software defect than writing software proofs.

So if you cared about quality, you'd take that into account as well, and you'd respect people's time.

Or if I'm less cynical, maybe it's true the author experienced coworkers that were truly good at their jobs, and put care and pride in their work, but unfortunately at the same time had bad respect for their own worth and time. If that's still the only place that felt that pride and care, I can see missing it, and almost not being able to seperate one from the other. In reality, having both is even better, and that's what should be the gold standard, working with people who respect their work and their worth equally.
Holy shit - is this a thing? I didn't go to Stanford, tho i did live in PA for a time.
Im sure those netflix originals are already up for download through torrents and mega no?
I'm sorry to tell you I don't see what is so toxic about this. Are we just supposed to assume you're some excellent employee? Perhaps he's beloved because he is honest, direct, and puts the company's interests (and those of the employees who built that positive culture) first.
Political and economic opinions do not have to be purely self-serving or beneficial to their holder. Do you think whites in the US who agitated for civil rights were uneffected by segregation? How about Germans who helped Jews hide or escape during the Nazi period? Society is more than just each individual, it is a whole which cannot be reasonably considered in the small.

I tried the 'change the world'. I got so messed up at that job and ultimately the market went with product Y instead because it was an easier sale to the bean counters.

Then I went to just a job to pay the bills after leaving the Bay Area. I took a few seconds off the time of the average of something used by a lot of people and saved a ton of cumulative time for humanity.

But...the road to hell is paved with good intentions. My original "make the world better software" had a side effect I didn't know/understand in that the savings came at a indirect cost, people wouldn't get something subsidized anymore (because my efficiency removed the need to give it away). Imagine improving say the food supply chain at grocery stores and making groceries cheaper, but at the cost of less goods damaged and then donated to food banks. Indirectly people suffered, maybe died.

Tried to make the world better = Killed people for money.*
Didn't care = Saved the equivalent of 80 lifespans at least so far.

*For legal reason I want to clarify indirectly. Not through negligence or malice. Improved efficiency reduced companies donating excess.
If being down about your job causes symptoms of depression that last more than 2 weeks, then it's the same thing. Psychiatrists diagnose based on symptoms. Worse, its usually what you say your symptoms are, with words and talking. They don't scan your brain. I've been seeing psychiatrists for almost 30 years. The good ones take plenty of interest in your situation, lifestyle, and other non-chemical non-medical factors. Psychiatrists don't distinguish between so-called 'situational' and 'clinical' depressions. Laypeople do that. If you get diagnosed by a clinician, that is the part that makes it clinical - it isn't a different kind of condition.

Embedding version numbers and demo code in readme.md is a very common requirement.

There are some similar tools on the market, but none of them works well. So I wrote one myself ( executable size 200 KB ).
Big fan of pipx, but I don't think it would work here? Local ansible calls remote python directly and that's where the modules need to be, so a sandboxed {local,remote} ansible would be inert.

There's a workaround but it's not ergonomic and I always forget what it is.
Who preserved Greek literature? (2020)
Diffs are the predominant way people relate to code changes via PRs. It is standard practice to restructure patch sets to produce a set of easy to read to changes which explain what is happening - what "was" and what "will be".
Boss Pinging Me on Weekends
Delete

“I’m sorry sir, I didn’t think that clicking that button would actually delete something!”

“What exactly did you think that button would do?”
Haha, that's pretty rich. So, if you travel and use it from random hotels, are they going to gotcha tax you too? Or is it only repeat sign-ins from multiple locations by geoip? What about people with multiple homes? It seems iffy to police this and more like trying to keep the prisoners inside an authoritarian regime.

I recently got my own plan of my own accord because I didn't want to see my mom's profile and I didn't want to see hers. (We've had it since the DVD-by-mail days.) Also, I wanted 4K and she's fine with HD.

Another way they could monetize misery is by bleeding suggestions from one profile to the other. Muhah.

These are desperate moves of retreat rather than cool moves of advancement and innovation.
There's no such thing as good / bad cholesterol.

This is untrue. There is lots of data to suggest elevated LDL is a risk of cardiovascular disease and that high HDL lower risk.

Pfizer's drug failed because of safety issues, not because "There's no such thing as good / bad cholesterol".
> To "increase the internet's GDP"? Might as well just start a war while we're at it, that will for sure increase some countries GDP as well.

Do you really think that allowing people to make transactions/trades (that they previously couldn't easily) isn't a very socially valuable thing? And do you really think it's comparable to starting a war?

And FWIW, I don't think starting a war will increase the total GDP of the world; it'll probably reduce it...
I see your point, and my argument supports it. Who creates "societal norms" other than the individuals that make up society? It starts with individual action to reverse the dwindling spiral.
> A list of pithy principles would have no impact and make no connection.

In case anyone wants to put it to the test, here is a book consisting of precisely that (by Rochefoucauld, from the 1600s): https://www.gutenberg.org/files/9105/9105-h/9105-h.htm#linkm...
You got it. The shakiness of this entire thing also shows in how the medication for ADHD is chosen: by trial and error. For real.

Gemini lays off second round of employees in less than two months
I would be angry and irritated about this kind of shenanigans, if I didn't think that with this YouTube are slowly taking a shotgun and shooting right up their nose from both barrels. And I lately come to enjoy some nice corporate mess in slo-mo, in the spirit of J.G. Ballard's ‘Crash’.

YouTube are a monopoly on public web tv. That needs to change, and YouTube are the ones who are gonna bring on that change.
All quintiles of the US population make more money (inflation adjusted) than they did 20, 40 or 60 years ago.

Yet there are more depressives around than ever.
Any area where departments have money they have cars that just run ALPS and cops pull over stuff that pings. Could be expired registration/inspection, could be cars flagged stolen. While they won't actually drive around looking for the car if it goes around enough and has stolen/invalid plates it will get pulled over.

As for chasing cars? Depends on department policies. Out in my region they chase in almost every situation except for cars driving wrong way in divided traffic. Has lead to stuff like cops plowing cruisers into the trees trying to chase a motorcycle rider through windey roads.
> When working on a project I am passionate about or I control, I can work much harder without burnout creeping in.

For me it was the opposite. I found that comment about burnout as unrequited love after burning out badly this year. I realized that I had been giving my whole soul to this project, loving it like a child, only to recently realize that the company didn't feel the same way towards me.

I've been doing a lot better in the last month because I've been able to refocus my love and passion on my family and keep work where it belongs: a way to provide for my family, nothing more. I still get my work done, but I'm less emotionally invested, and I've been much healthier because of that.
But is it surprising to find it far from the median?

I understand (and understood) what you are getting at. But if you don't stop and think about what that same (substantial) money might mean to a person in a different position in society, that is pretty solipsistic.
They have been saving mine. My anxiety has been improving tremendous amounts since starting both an SSRI and therapy a few months ago. Therapy came a couple months after starting an SSRI, but I was already feeling a tangible improvement before even starting that.

Gabapentin was designed as an antagonist (the structure is basically GABA with a big bulky group on it).

You can just google older papers on gabapentin. Just like most drugs it impacts a number of different receptors in the body. We still don't fully understand them all.
This is a dangerous thing to spread, in my opinion. I have struggled with depression and anxiety for years, but during COVID it hit me like nothing I have ever experienced before. I would have probably died during COVID without finding a doctor to prescribe me medicine. And I don't think it would have been suicide. I would have probably become dehydrated and/or starved or become mal-nutritioned because it was a literal war to eat. I was having to wash down food with water after chewing it enough to swallow. (Note that I never had COVID, which would have been impossible having barely left my house during the first 9 months of 2020.) I couldn't sleep and would wake up wide awake and stressed at 4-5am. I couldn't relax. Was having panic attacks. It was pure and quite literal torture. My body and mind was literally on fire with stress activity. I honestly probably should have been hospitalized long before I finally got help.

While not fun working through the gamut of medicines, some of them finally pulled me through it all. It took almost a year to fully recover with dedication to the medicine and modifications of it and therapy.

If I didn't have a good family and primary care doctor, I guarantee I would have died in some manner unless hospitalized.

People need to realize there is danger to their words. Psychiatry is nowhere near perfect, but people are trying. It is an incredibly difficult thing to understand. But I feel people who speak against medicine have never truly experienced deep depression or anxiety. A panic attack can hit you sitting on the couch, and then by literally doing nothing, your heart rate can reach 200bpm and massive amounts of hormones making your chest and skin feel like it's burning, and next thing you're calling an ambulance because you think you aren't breathing.
> there is lots of data to suggest elevated LDL is a risk of cardiovascular disease

Elevated LDL is a symptom of inflammation. It is not a cause and lowering it doesn't help. The research mixed up cause vs correlation.
For my first infusion, I didn't wear an eye-mask and I was kind of incapacitated as I watched people come and check on my vitals. I felt this deep sense of caring that we are all in this world together and love is the most important thing.

It's not just time to reflect, but also a new perspective which is hard to allow to enter the mind due to all the anxieties of the world.
Just want to thank everyone who responded with suggestions. I think it's amusing that there seems to be at least 5 different solutions to this problem: pyenv, nox, tox, asdf, docker.

And we have a winner!

It's quite surprising (well actually it's not) what there are many people who thinks what Apple does things for their use case, which is usually something like recompiling Chrome or something.
Base the designer's performance on the finished product, rather than the "approved" design on Sketch or Figma. This will hold the designer responsible for things like adjusting designs midway to solve unforeseen problems and working with developers closely to polish the final product.

Too often I've found designers who think their job is done when they hand over the Sketch or Figma file.

Also, designers have a tendency to be very idealistic in their designs because they're designing for their resume portfolio and the judgement of their designer peers. For these designers, you must have a strong product manager to reign in the designs so that they work for the business instead of the designer's resume portfolio.

Lastly, to help designers design for the business instead of their resume, design job interviews should focus more on the goals and constraints of the designs rather than the beauty.
Shouldn't their support care about the customer's personal info being shared with you?

For maximum effect, if those events are real life, show up there looking for MyName and tell him/her about all the info you have on them... Or I wonder if the event organizer would be able to pass on a note. Or if there's a postal address/phone number you can use to notify them
I just got back from a long hike in Rocky Mountain National Park outside of Estes Park, CO. Most of the hike was above treeline. We spotted a heard of elk and a local with whom I was hiking told me the elk were up there because the area had some late rain; normally that tundra is all brown by July.

In the late 80s and early 90s I hiked that area every summer. I don't recall the tundra grass ever brown in July.
Anecdote but I always noticed change in sleep patterns after starting antidepressants. Actually, terminal insomnia (you wake up and then are unable to fall asleep) are characteristic of chronic depression. Add to this that SSRI causes increase in sleep hours (maybe even quality?) and then you have a theory about how it might just have been due to lack of sleep after all?
> Life is a constant fight, everyone has to be up for that.

Sorry, "being up for" being the target of racketeering and fraud-- I expect better than that.
> And, among young people, only about 23% are physically, mentally and morally qualified to serve without receiving some type of waiver.

Perhaps they could expand training so they could shape more people into their standards.
It's less a specific study and more that almost none of their research is reproducible and there have been a number of serious breaches of trust, like Prozac being widely prescribed to kids and turning out to be horrifically bad for them.
There is more to performance than allocating memory. In fact some very performance-centric codebases do use a GC like unreal engine.

On the subject of games it always makes me chuckle when I see people complaining about garbage collection but then having 20 calls to malloc in their hot loop. All memory allocation is slow and not necessarily bounded.

I have written code that uses SoA, cache aware metaprogramming, inline asm, SIMD etc, with a GC because I knew I didn't need to allocate often.

On the subject of Java, I'm no fan of it but lots of projects would probably be fine - probably not quite as fast, but not horrifically so. On hackernews we only discuss extremely careful or expertly written code whereas in real life a lot people use C++ because it's what they got hammered into them at university 20 years ago as the fast language.

For example a lot of engineering and finance codebases are written in a very bad style of C++ code that would be improved by not having the programmers worry about memory too much - infrastructural code is more subtle, but most code serves a direct purpose like implementing some model. In these cases memory allocation is merely a means to an end rather than part of some grand strategy (i.e. it's not like writing a library)
NFL is a lot worse than MLB or NBA just because 8 home games is way too few compared to 81 or even 41. Depending on how shitty your home team is, MLB can be a huge bargain. Buy some cheap seats at a Mariners game if you’re ever in Seattle.
And another bonus, yay your backups are now all consistent and you can focus on one technology stack instead of two.

Reducing the cognitive load is important in large code bases.
> This is good evidence that the new drugs are worse than the old drugs.

That's incorrect. There's good evidence that economics, in combination with lack of funding for suicide prevention programs is driving the increase in suicide rates. See https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44416727
Mandatory service isn't a great idea for the US. People forget but we are still in a multidecade quagmire in the middle east. Really enrollment declining is a good thing, they don't need any more bodies to throw at this waste of life and treasure.
It's practically thermodynamics. Concentrate your energy on the smallest point possible if you wish to generate the highest temperature possible.

And if your energy is spent on a hundred different tasks, it's gonna take you that much longer to boil that pot of water.

This seems extremely straightforward and intuitive. Surely we do not need Einstin here to prove it for us.
It's ok to care about yourself more than others.
