> Yet tech is such a small portion of the labor force that layoffs here basically mean zilch when it comes to the unemployment rate/inflation, and thus there's a long way for it to fall before the Fed adjusts policy

The really scary thing for me is the possible macro environment for tech.

Indians will soon overtake any of the Western countries as the largest English-speaking population on the internet. As I'm sure many of you know, Indians are hugely talented and most of us who had to deal with CS or Maths have probably resorted to some of the extremely generous Indian experts who teach these subjects on Youtube. There are some very good institutes and universities with solid reputations, many expanding to boot camps and such - so there is a very good volume of tech talent coming online fast.

So you have a tsunami of highly educated, English-speaking tech workers coming online AND a sudden surplus of laid off tech workers in the West. It could potentially get really ugly for the Western tech workers used to six figures for working 30 hours per day and then spending the rest of the day on activism or "day in the life of a X" Tiktoks. After all, we just tested remote work and you can live like a king in India for much less than even the cheapest Western town.

Can you recommend a reference for this? Was trying to explain why credit is important to someone who doesn’t want a credit card.
Not to stretch the analogy too far, but isn’t this true of any non-trivial dynamical system? They are highly sensitive to initial conditions.
As I stated; S10e. Not iPhone. It looks like you just reacted rather than reading, but to answer the question in earnest: no, we don't have to make sites work perfectly on every device.

That doesn't preclude criticism, however. Might want to check out current stats for mobile browsing. I've been in web development for 20 years and the numbers continue to go up. So again; no, but you're excluding a lot of traffic, and users. And for a site relying on crowdsourced data, that seems like a poor choice.
The stacking of charges seems ridiculous.
Basically he is getting multiple charges (and potential sentence time) for the same crime.

wire fraud + conspiracy to commit wire fraud

money laundering + conspiracy to launder money

accessing a computer to steal information + to defraud

If (I admit I don't know the details) those pairs were both for the same activity, it shouldn't be allowed to double charge an offender.
The site isn't meant to "get one over" on dealerships. It's merely a tool riding on the back of capitalism and free speech to reward the lowest priced dealers, pull back the veil of sneaky bait and switch pricing models and attempt to force more competition across the industry.
The answer is simple: Don't develop for iOS, then.

OR, sue for something legit. Like the way Apple buries app publishers' trademarks even when users search for them with an exactly-matching string. They will blatantly replace the string (and the publisher's trademark) with other publishers'.
Great to hear. When I sit down in front of my laptop tomorrow, I'll try again.

I agree with you.

I will say, though, I think DALL-E has opened up a new market for artists. I've gone to freelance graphic designers before, and been generally happy with the results, but it's pricey. So pricey that I honestly can't justify it for a new project I intend to sell or for an open source project I don't expect to make money from. It's usually much more cost-effective to even hire lawyers or even UI/UX people.

If I were an artist, I'd be experimenting with DALL-E, trying to run my own pirate version and learning everything about it. An artist empowered with DALL-E could give quick options to a client, iterate with them quickly, and test out some ideas before making the final work product. I'd guess a good artist who made good use of DALL-E could get a project done much faster and cheaper, and this would likely mean a lot more people hiring artists (if I could spend $100-200 for high-quality assets within a few days rather than $1000-2000, I'd gladly hire artists frequently).

I'm sure this will make some artists feel cheapened, but the reality is that art & technology have always evolved in dynamic and unpredictable ways. ML being essentially curve-fitting means that genuine inspiration and emotion is still far beyond our capabilities today, and that, ultimately, these models will only give us exactly what we ask for. A good (human) artist can go beyond that.

EDIT: Also, I agree with your assessment of the "work product," if we can call it that. I was unimpressed with the iterations, and especially the final product. I guess it's good the product is an open source tool. Nothing about the generated logo helped me understand what the OctoSQL tool did. Honestly, the name (which also IMO isn't excellent) is much more evocative than that logo. Why is the octopus wearing a hard hat? Why is it grabbing different colored solids? I guess the solids are datasets? But then the octopus is just exploring them? No thanks.
RTEMS has been providing a real time, multi threaded, POSIX API on embedded systems for decades. It's got preemption, interactive shells, a libbsd port with networking, etc. It's popular in spacecraft, especially in combination with NASA's Core Flight System (cFS). I've run it on an STM32F4 and a Raspberry Pi.

BSP support is a little lacking in some cases. The raspberry pi is currently crashing on a call to fflush(). No idea why.

I really wish more people knew about it. As a matter of fact, I'll post about it here.

The analysis checks out (excepting the "women" part, which I assume is some kind of typo), but the "underrepresented racial groups" framing hides important parts of the story. Both black and white students are accepted in proportion to public school demographics; Hispanic students are the single largest ethnic group despite being underrepresented. (https://apnews.com/article/education-race-and-ethnicity-79f7..., https://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/ad/ceffingertipfacts.asp)

So unless you take the perspective that colleges ought to engage in direct racial balancing against local graduating classes, it's very hard to tell a story about diversity or implicit bias here.
No kidding, a few well off tech bros use the stimulus to gamble and suddenly every family who actually needed that money was a waste? Was the government just supposed to lower taxes for corporations and the rich yet again?!

I worked for a payment gateway years ago, when safari rolled out their initial blocking of third party cookies back in 2013 it broke some of our transaction flows yes.

There are a bunch of different kinds of payment gateway integrations, with various tradeoffs.

However a common pattern, at least at the time, was to use an iframe with the payment form in it.

Our form was multi page, and used cookie based sessions to track state between pages, so when they started being blocked, the payment form stopped working for safari users.
The solution we chose at the time was to put the session id into the URL, but that has it's own security issues. There are other ways to address that particular issue that don't involve cookies, but would have required a significant rewrite of the system.

Some potentially legitimate ongoing use cases for 3rd party cookies, would be remembering payment details, and one click checkout across various sites that use the same payment gateway.
There's very little difference between a dealership, and a scalper. Both capture all the items in the market, then work together to inflate the value, artificially. The difference is that many places have laws preventing scalpers, and many places have laws requiring that you buy a car through a dealerships.
>If people insist you warn them about something they are doing, you get around it by forcing everyone to do it for everything so people start ignoring them.

Who does "you" refer to in this sentence? A random business that doesn't like the warnings? How can that random business force everyone to do it for everything?
People should be able to do that. Is it just the rich who are allowed to make profit that way. Nobody is judging rich here what they do with their money. May be because people in hn are privileged.

It is for precisely these kinds of reasons that I always thought GDP was a flawed or at the very least an incomplete measure. At constant "efficiency" for whatever definition of efficiency is appropriate for a given sector/activity/industry increase in GDP is a net positive. But what is happening in health care is a travesty. From my first real hospital visit (other than annual health checkup) to when my daughter was born the actual cost of care and the billed amount were so ridiculous, billing so confusing, that I decided to from now on not pay any out of pocket amount till may be a sternly worded letter gets to me. At least I would wait for bill number 3 before deciding to pay. Learned it the hard way after I ended up paying a few thousand dollars extra for maternity care. In a span of a 3 week I got 3 bills for the same service all progressively getting lower for some mysterious reason. Not collecting my mail often, I, idiotically paid the first one as soon as I opened it, not knowing that the lower amount is just 2 envelopes down in the pile.
Here’s the problem you are going to run into: The vast majority of the climate change/save the planet movement is uninformed cult-think driven by a delusion fed by politicians who learned to earn votes with this from the unthinking masses.

The opposite side, the deniers, are just as delusional but for a different set of reasons.

In the end, you have two sides battling over bullshit and people on both ends of the scale making money and angling for power.

If you really want to help, take the time to truly understand and push for the truth to become the only conversation.

What is the truth?

We can’t do a thing about any of it. Period.

The delusion (well, one of them) is to actually believe we can change a planetary-scale problem one thousand times faster than nature has managed over millions of years. This is ridiculous. It’s lunacy. We are far more likely to kill everything on this planet than to save it.

The data is out there. Not opinions. Not my words. High quality scientific data. Start by studying the 800K year ice core atmospheric data we have and understand how the planet has dealt with this for millions of years. That’s the start of the journey who should make anyone honest enough to look for the truth become horrified at the nonsense we are pummeled with every day.

- for file management, I love midnight commander. The two pane interface is classic and highly flexible.

- for git, i tried tig and lazygit, but I couldn't integrate them into my workflow for some reason. But they are both quite nice.

- iftop is quite handy to monitor bandwidth usage etc

- htop is a more advanced top

- ncdu shows you disk usage breakdown (helpful when you need to clean logs out or figure out what is eating your disk space)

- screen/tmux are virtual screen managers if you're remoting into a box and want to maintain a buncha state

- emacs is of course the grandaddy of TUIs, you get your email client, browser, file manager, organizer, rss reader and oh yeah, a pretty good vi implemntation on top of that.

- i tried spotify client of some sort, but it didn't stick

- notmuch is a really sweet email system that integrates with emacs for example.
The problem there isn't scaling - it scales perfectly - the problem is low performance.
Scott Aaronson Says Complexity Theory Is ‘Inextricable’ from Quantum Computing
Because I don't work for nonprofits, they are regular companies that do social good. Some are officially registered as B corps or Public Benefit Corporations, but some aren't officially registered, they just have it as part of their mantra and core product. I've been in a telehealth startup, an interpreting&translation startup, and now in a health tech startup linking nonprofits and vulnerable communities.

As to how I found them? Pure luck... It's been fun, challenging and there's no greater feeling at the end of the day. Interpreting in particular was such an eye opener, I could talk about it for hours.
> why they ask questions to assess your ability on the actual job

You already said LC isn't an ideal proxy to the job. So I am not sure what point you are making.

If I work at Stripe for 5 years as a software engineer, are you saying I am lying about my experience? How about Google? How about Coinbase? How did these people survive for so long?

It seems like you default to the candidate being liers. Maybe you are young, but it will happen to you one day, once you learn the full-stack and then realize no-one cares because you need to pass LC to even get a job. Something you don't need because software engineering encompasses much much more than some DSA algorithm.
Next thing in the EU must be legislation where the company says whay you did to violate which term.

Paypal closed a account of mine (business) while keeping another (private). Amazon closed several tries to sell there, only worked with an incorporated company to sell the book of my wife.

Without Amazon you can't sell a book (fiction, no massive social media following).

Both companies of course, no mention of the reason, just a link to their TOS and this vague speak.

On top of that we need a way to applay to an external arbirter for companies that have more than 10% market share.
Your misconceptions about what I said somehow outnumber the things I actually said.

Sending a wave of money into a group of
historically underemployed seems like
it'd result in normal expenditures, modulo
some slush.

Do you have hard data for that? (j/k)

Far more importantly, "sending a wave of money into a group of historically underemployed" is not what happened. Pretty much every taxpayer got a series of stimulus checks. It wasn't based on need; it was based on your claimed income for the previous year. Historically underemployed groups got checks, rich boys with time and money on their hands got checks. Everybody. (edit: not everybody, more like ~80%) Maybe this is the root of your misconceptions?

Maybe it's the contemporaneous injection [...]

What? That wasn't even remotely part of this discussion. At least not anything I've written. If it helps, I agree with you: a lot of the payments to businesses amounted to lining the pockets of the already-rich.

Edit: alternatively, feel free to abstain
from conversations where your allegiances
lie contrary to complete honesty

What? Literally the only thought I've expressed this entire time is yup, that wave of money given to consumers seems like it had an effect on consumer spending habits, and now that stimulus has worked its way through the system some of those habits will revert to their former states. Not the most controversial of opinions.

What is this missing honesty you're referring to? This is one of the weirder interactions I've ever had on HN. And that's really saying something.
It’s not just because it’s electric. In rural areas like where I grew up I’ve heard these type of high-end models, like the ones with the “King Ranch” or “Platinum” packages referred to as “Cowboy Cadillacs”. Granted, $150K sounds really high, but even before the pandemic I recall hearing about non-electric $80-$100K trucks.

Crowd sourcing the data is the only way to uncover the real pricing that happens behind the scenes 3 hours into a dealership trip to buy that new car once you finally sit down at the finance guys office. It happened to me and it's happening in crazy high numbers of interactions. The prices listed online or initially viewed then get bludgeoned by "the mandatory addon and adm" bat once you burned half a day at the dealership and finally sit down to "talk numbers". Utilizing OEM MSRP or posted pricing data I feel paints a more flawed picture!

I genuinely don’t believe you’re coming at this from a business stakeholder POV, which is fair for HN. But if you have to advocate for a devops org outside of some massive global scale or as a small % of revenue, you’re doing something wrong.

Unfortunately a proven playbook for struggling devops teams is to just fire all the devops and infra folks, which seems to help with platform stability, recruiting, and velocity year over year.

> I can just as easily push tons of logic down into templates in erb/jsp/jinja etc...

Not just as easy if they don't allow you to insert arbitrary code at arbitrary points as PHP does.

Personally my preferred approach is Wicket where you can't have any logic in your markup at all, all of your logic lives in code and the only thing you can put in the template is IDs for where the code can insert child components or plain text. (OK, it's not quite that strict, but it gets pretty close in practice).

> at some point it boils down to the programmer's level of expertise, but also to the programmers' opinions as there are still a lot of varying opinions on what exactly are best practices.

That's neither here nor there; "programmer's level of expertise" is just abdicating responsibility, when in fact a programmer at the same level of expertise might produce much better code in one language than another.
Yes of course if you "know" that the choice doesn't matter and you still obsess with it then it is your fault. I don't know how much that happens in practice, and I wouldn't blame people much for doing that because maybe they enjoy doing it.

Based on my own experience as a SW developer I have found that more often it is hard to know beforehand whether a design-choice matters much or not, and how much.

I suppose that is also the reason for much of "Technical Debt". People make less than optimal design choices not because they are bad designers, but because trying to evaluate the benefits of each choice would be too time-consuming.
