Learnt something new today! I never imagined that to have originated from Tamil (I am a native speaker of the language) and always thought it had some esoteric European origin. From the phonetics, this definitely sounds quite plausible that it originated in Tamil. Thanks for the pointer.
I live from a website I run. Performance is super important for me for a few reasons:

1. It's just text on a page. There are no excuses.

2. People use my website on the train, where the reception is so-so.

how? high end HDD offer 2M MTBF, and with something like HGST 7K6000 you end up with pallet loads being retired at 50K hours run time 100% defect free.

how? SSDs usually just die without any warning

you mean recovery/rebuild on a storage box level, because your data on dead SSD is unrecoverable gone forever

Wow. I remember reading the Lime line in the The NY Times article. NY Times didn’t check that source.

That was audacious of Helium.

Thanks for replying.
I have pondered and mused.

I am still on the "where is it in relation to my body" as a point of reference.

If I start a blood transfusion, and they stick needles in my body and start sucking it out, I still have legal right to change my mind and stop giving blood to that other person.

If I start organ donation and they do surgery prep and I'm on the table with my buttocks exposed, I still have legal right to change my mind. It'd be complicated and sorrowful and devastating to others, but I retain that fundamental right to control of my body. I can actively take control and perform actions within my body that may have negative consequences to others, that may not be nice or beneficial to others, but still remain firmly within my control.

It may come to another perspective as well: am I actively murdering the person within me, or am I withdrawing services I am providing to another person within me.
redirecting to alt-frontends as much as adblocking gives me pause to what the Web has come to: a niche of users browse a usable web, others not in the know and especially on mobile are driven to use the platforms Apps, distributed via a device duopoly
This is excellent advice. You can (and should) program on your own at home, but support is where you learn your chops in tech. It's like how they make pilots fly the small regional planes before they get to tackle the 777.

I also agree with getting good at debugging before you take on massive feature development. This is because finding and preventing bugs before they ship will be more than half of your work as a feature developer.
An AI would be trained on human decisions, and unless we're careful it can easily have the same biases as human decision making.

You mean when she sentenced a 25 year old with autism of stabbing a bedridden post-stroke 74 year old to death? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-62332824

You're really misrepresenting the case, and I doubt a good AI would rule favorably on those circumstances. The judicial system doesn't tend to go easy on stabbing defenseless people to death, even if you can argue that they were bad people or otherwise deserved it.
Both companies that develop games and individual programmers are correctly called developers, and have been since the start of gaming.

Those companies develop games. And for a long time, almost no programmer develops a whole game - they provide code, artists provide art, producers direct, investors fund, and so on.

So while a large group develops the game, most of which aren't generally called developers, programmers have shrunk in scope from when they did do most of the work (say in the 70s and early 80s).

If anything, game companies are more correctly labeled developer, and programmer should be programmer.

For example, search for top game developers... Not an individual in the list... Such uses go back as far as gaming.

The word simply has multiple meanings.

Ask HN: Executive Coach and Leadership
Good morning HN, how are you?

I am a seasoned VP who has recently leveled up with a new job, and I think it's now time for me to fine tune my Leaderships qualities, so these are my 3 questions:

1. Is there an Executive Coaching service you recommend? For the record I am US based.

2. Best Executive Coaching / Leadership books, material, online anything?

3. What else do you suggest?

Thanks in advance.
Ask HN: Self-publishing SF novella, need recos
Hi HN,

After zero success in breaking through "traditional" publishing (ie. agents, publishing houses, etc.) [0] I've decided to go down the self-publishing route for a science-fiction novella that I've written. A year ago, when I finished the first draft, I perhaps would have seen this outcome as some sort of letdown but I find myself quite excited right now... making the book itself is just a continuation of the creative process, and I really want to do it the right way.

I have some savings that I had set aside for this sort of project and have decided it would be best to get professional help for each step, rather than just DIYing (I had DIYd a "test" project a couple years ago, so am familiar with KDP, etc.) So am looking for recommendations for:
a) editors (both dev/line and copy/proof)
b) designers
c) publicists
that the HN community may have had good experience with.

Many professionals choose not to work with self-published authors, so finding them not always straightforward. On the other side, there are MANY shady organizations that will gladly separate a self-published author from his/her money. So figured reaching out to this group (esp for an SF novel) may get me some luck and direct references.

Thanks to all in advance!

There are very few React+backend websites that need the content to be indexed by Google. That part is important. The overwhelming majority of React code is sat behind a login page that Google can't get past.

Anywhere an app is serving public content using React it should be using some sort of server side generation with hydration and progressive enhancement, which entirely negates the need for a fast VDOM for SEO reasons.
Twelve years ago the userbase was much smaller, and a lot more people used real names either verbatim or stylized. It was much, much easier to know who people were. Now it's the same for me. Outside a handful of old timers that I recognize automatically, I don't really see usernames because the majority either start with "throwaway" or are otherwise gibberish to me. I myself abandoned my real name account 6 years ago, around the time I realized it was going to be a great risk to have ones name attached to ones thoughts permanently on the public web.
Yes, the server is a wrapper around a database. That's the point of this project. :)
Seeing as how lego figures have no sexual characteristics, and "gender is a social construct": aren't the ratios quoted solely the author's blame? You can't ask the plastic what it identifies as, you're assigning gender by your own prejudice.

The title is correct as it blames k8s for mishandling git and "breaking" it. It's not git's fault.

Sir, I'm afraid your bias is showing...
All censorship is implemented to protect X from Y.

Where X is typically the local population which is not smart/strong/informed enough to understand why Y is harmful.

On the one hand, X are indeed usually ignorant because that is the natural state of humans, school is a worker assembly line as opposed to a place for sharing knowledge and their own governments lie to them and trick them all the time.

On the other hand, the censors typically have ulterior motives and their goals are aligned with keeping X in the dark.

You’re obviously wrong about there being nothing to gain from censored information. In fact, one can gain a very rare thing indeed - an own opinion that isn’t shaped by middlemen.
I worry that tiktok is such an all-or-nothing system, you have to turn into a "maximally viral" artist to stand a chance. The tiktok system itself warps what constitutes popular taste.

Yeah, that "shortly after"... the reactor top wasn't lifted off until FIVE YEARS after the accident.

So I ask again: just what horrible public-relevant accident is supposed to have nearly happened here? I can't imagine anything that would have caused anything catastrophic. The lid falling back onto the reactor vessel wouldn't be that.

browsers have been doing smooth 60fps rendering for at least 5 years now, but you'll find stackoverflow threads about it dated 2015, they can do 144fps on much more powerful and better supported HW accelerated devices in 2022.

or to make it more clear: VDom is unnecessary because the browser engines have adopted optimizations that made it obsolete, just like many rendering techniques are not used anymore because the HW implements them in a more efficient manner.

For fast rendering speed in browsers, support for HW acceleration has done more than anything else combined.

In the very very worst case, you can just write a saner Java wrapper over the Java lib (chances are you are not needing every option in the original), and use that from the guest language of your choice.
The compatibility target is C++17, which I imagine was chosen primarily to avoid the complexity of modules in C++20. They're also excluding non-trivial preprocessor macros, and saying that you'll probably have to write a bit of glue code in some unusual situations.

It's a very realistic take on C++ interop, but still well beyond anything offered by other languages.

For your original question: you typically cannot sell cooked food from your home kitchen in the United States. This Californian law reflects a large relaxation from the status quo.

There are "cottage" food laws which allow the sale of baked goods, jams and jellies. But foods that require refrigeration after preparation are typically not covered.

https://ij.org/issues/economic-liberty/homemade-food-seller/ has a fairly good state-by-state summary. You'll note that even in the "dark green low regulation states", only Wyoming and North Dakota have no restrictions; Utah, Montana, and Oklahoma restrict meat.

edit: You seem to be in the UK. The regulatory environment is a lot more lax there. Inspections and approvals seem still to be required [1], but that's different from the general prohibitions found in the US.

I think most air forces using the F-35 should listen to Kelly Clarkson and 'Just Walk Away'.

> When you're terrified of Covid, so you suspend most of your activities and spend two years mostly staying home, gaining 50 pounds and decimating your fitness which drastically increases your risk of cardiovascular disease and overall significantly increasing your likelihood of dying young far in excess of the acute risk that Covid actually posed to your demographic.

It's funny because I was actually able to lose 50 pounds by establishing an exercise routine at home.

I understand your argument but it doesn't work for COVID: if anything lockdowns gives people more time to exercise instead of commuting via car.
In what sense does it seem amazing to you?

That hydrogen is currently produced by SMR is irrelevant. Electrolysis is of course trivial to scale, you just build more electrolyzers. There is nothing that prevents arbitrary numbers of them from being operated in parallel.

Would this cost money? Yes. But it would likely cost less than a grid based on nuclear power plants. The key insight is that hydrogen can feed combined cycle power plants, which cost a factor of 10 less than a nuclear power plant of the same power output. So, one could (if necessary) back up the entire grid with CC plants at a fraction of the cost of powering the same grid with nukes. If desired, one could use simple cycle power plants, which (while less efficient) are even cheaper by another factor of about 2, or 20x cheaper than the nukes.
I believe "he was acquitted" refers to the abuser, not the killer.
Ah you can use pop with other stashes too, thanks for the tip... though that feels a bit like a semantic misnomer (? unsure what term would be best to describe what I'm thinking - but 'pop' kind of feels like it should always be applicable only to the top element in a stack. I'd be scared that popping stash@{5} would apply all of stashes 1 to 5 at once lol).

I've been using `git stash apply stash@{n}`, which works just fine, but the stash is then not removed from your list and results in clutter.
It's higher (IIRC, orders of magnitude higher) than the amount of radiation released by an operating nuclear plant.

The author of the Pragmatic Engineer once posted a list of his previous failed startup ideas. Nothing wrong with failing, of course, and it’s important to understand that it can take multiple attempts to find something successful.

However, it’s worth cautioning everyone to note how much his success revolves around newsletters, ebooks (as used as an example in this article), and the job boards that go along with his newsletter.

I generally like and appreciate Pragmatic Engineer content, but it needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The premise of this post is about starting a startup as a software engineer, but the example content is an information product (ebook) and the “startup” is just selling that ebook through content marketing. In fact this basically a cookie-cutter copy of the early 2000s self-help guru books where someone became successful selling books on how to become successful, but targeted at software engineers. This feels like someone read a Tim Ferriss book from the early 2000s and asked themselves how they could resell the same idea to software engineers.

The author does have some good resources explaining the internal processes at companies he has worked for (Uber), but lately a lot of his newsletter content is recycled from The Information and random Tweets. In fact, he had to retract a claim that he reported on recently because it turned out to be a completely untrue rumor that was circulating on Twitter, which he reported as a “scoop”. I suspect a lot of the quotes where he says “I interviewed an engineer at _____” might be just be sourced from random Tweets.

As with all content marketers selling advice, please take this all with a grain of salt. Some of the information is definitely accurate and actionable, but framing this ebook marketing story as “how to start a startup as a software engineer” is pure marketing spin.
> for the sake of some billionaire that caused the hikkikomoriproblem.

Who exactly caused the hikikomori problem? Hermits and recluses have existed for as long as society has.

> Maybe you should start fixing the problem where most people don't work for their own sake or their fellow people but actively compete over fewer and fewer necessary working hours as productivity keeps going up without the economy growing and everyone insists they need a full time 40 hour job.

> Pretty much all unemployment can be explained by the laziness of the financial capitalists rather than the people doing the work. Investors being job creators is ridiculous because saving money destroys jobs so the net job creation is zero and it is actually the opposite, saving forces investment and hence nobody gets moral superiority by creating jobs because if they don't they are massive assholes. In European countries like Spain the elderly voted in heavy labor restrictions against firing seniors and introduced huge severance packages which means companies fire young people first instead of old people who have more than enough money and would have even more after severance pay.

That's unions for you. It's not a problem of capitalism but rather the eventuality of state-backed labor. Labor is dominated by those most experienced in labor politics. If the state is what gives them power in the first place, why wouldn't they use it to their advantage? Considering that the elderly would have between 40-50 years of experience in expanding their influence, they would already have every single way to extract as much money as possible long before posterity would reach conception. Pension funds and Social Security, are among the top tools in robbing to young Peter to pay elder Paul.

> What this means is that the old are hoarding all the income opportunities while simultaneously saving for retirement which decreases aggregate demand and effectively makes it pointless for young people to work for their own money and very profitable for them to just stay at home while their parents pretend they are the productive breadwinners. The sink or swim/tough love idea would require parents giving up their job for the sake of the young and that is unlikely to happen. No, the economy isn't growing faster than productivity, you can't grow your way to a job for everyone.

There's no way to "hoard" an opportunity. Opportunities come and go based on circumstances and conditions all of which are bound by time, place, necessity, and ability. If they aren't used, they disappear. Opportunities may be created, but they don't work like participation trophies. Just as you mention that there's no way to grow a job for everyone, there's no way to create an opportunity for everyone.

The sink or swim is eventually going to happen. Neetbux will only delay the inevitable. As far as free housing is concerned, in Japan there are plenty of houses at a very low cost in depopulated countryside towns. They can always move out and get a place of their own.
