I think the process of making good decisions about "big" things should involve practicing making many more decisions about smaller things and evaluating the outcome.

There are a lot of insightful heuristics from decision making that can make big decisions much better/easier/etc.

I don't think people would spend any more time on big decisions if they made faster/fewer decisions with little "value" to gain, if anything I think their habit of making fast decisions would mean they spend less time/worse on the big ones!
I re-write recipies to call things by different names when they change.

I got sick of losing track of the current state of something when a recipe is all "take the eggs, scamble the eggs, add the eggs to the mixture, let the mixture sit, cook the mixture, cut the mixture.

My recipies are; scramble the eggs to make scrambled eggs, add the scrambled eggs to the mixture to make eggy mixture, let the eggy mixture sit to make sat mixture, cook the sat mixture to make cooked mixture, cut the cooked mixture to serve.

And so on.
I doubt it. Formal verification helps you prove your algorithms are correct. Bugs from unsafe rust are going to be way more subtle than that, like accidentally assigning a string and crashing [1].

When you talk about megascale projects like this one, it's good to use the unit of Gigaton.

Humanity produces 5 substances in the gigatons per year: coal (8 GT/y), oil, natural gas, concrete (about 4 GT/y each) and steel (2 GT/y). Everything else (in order, plastics, fertilizers, ammonia) are less than 0.5 GT/y.

This project is supposed to be 200 meters wide, and 500 meters tall. If on average from the width of 200 meters, only 2 meters are concrete, then each kilometer of this project will have a volume of 1 cubic kilometer. Concrete has a density of about 2.2 tons/m3, so each kilometer of this structure will use 2.2 GT of concrete. Each mile will consume roughly the entire global annual production of concrete. If you build one mile per year, it will take 105 years to build the project.

If you want to finish the project in just 25 years, you need to continuously use 4 times more concrete than the world currently produces.
Quiet Platforms @ American Eagle | Remote in US, Canada and India | Software Engineers

At Quiet Platforms, we are building for a more interconnected, environmentally friendly, shared supply chain system. We are envisioning an internet of supply chain systems and building a platform to enable that.

We are an all remote company and our tech stack is mainly Java and Google Cloud. We are a startup inside the larger American Eagle. We are looking for strong developers, preferably in Java. We are hiring at all levels, with preference given to folks around 5 - 10 years.

My name is Vaidhy and I am a principal engineer here. Reach out to me at [myname]@airterra.com if you would like to apply or would like to know more.
Hey, offtopic but I couldn't find another way to contact you. What did you end up doing for getting off of gmail?
Health Rosetta | US - 100% remote | Software Engineer | $100-120k+ base | https://healthrosetta.org

Health Rosetta has the audacious mission to fix our broken health care system. We build the blueprint for high-performance health benefits plans, using a practical approach based on what successful purchasers do. Health Rosetta was fully distributed before the pandemic, so we have a strong remote working culture.

We are looking for a software engineer to join us to help build the foundation of our data platform. The new team member will work with our small, motivated team as the primary engineer focused on data. This is in many ways a "blank page" job that will involve building much of the platform from scratch. This is a hands-on coding position.

The existing platform is Ruby on Rails on AWS, with some existing data component Lambdas in Java/Spring. We are looking to hire someone with ideas for extending our platform to accommodate the growth in demand.

The base salary is $100-$120k, with a 20% bonus opportunity.

This is a remote role that will involve access to sensitive data, so applicants must legally be able to permanently remain in the United States.

Please DM me or email careers@healthrosetta.org to apply.

> Apple's "contributions" to Asahi mostly amount to adding a feature that pre-existed on x86 machines

Nope.

Apple tossed out the UEFI used by Intel Macs and replaced it with a system that allows you to control the security settings per partition, so you can have a single machine with full security enabled on your Mac partition while allowing for the installation of an unsigned OS on the same disk.

It's a complete replacement of the boot system that preexisted on x86 machines.

I wonder if that's (algorithmic) selection bias? IE you only see dumb memes or clever ways to be funny because they are the only thing that garner enough likes to break through the newsfeed noise?

Or if companies just found out that their interesting-but-not-high-valence posts end up not going anywhere... so they create dumb memes or clever ways to be funny.

Either way though we're caught in a death spiral of algorithmic selection and self-selection leaving us with drivel - making us less likely to follow companies and companies increasingly less willing to invest in quality content or content creators. Then round and round it goes.
One problem with this argument is that you can never be proven wrong. 20 years from now if the platform is still open, there will still be ample evidence that, as Apple tries to maintain security, instead they’re actually preparing to close the platform.

I think if they were going to lock it down, the ARM transition was the perfect opportunity. Half the computing world expected it anyway, and the number of people who care is far fewer than those who just want a robust computer.

But I can effectively never be proven correct.
> Russia built a floating nuclear power plant. There is a lot of controversy around it.

It's not that Indian culture somehow isn't as good. It's that there's sufficient supply there to fill all the positions at lower pay. If the exact same people manage to get a visa and transfer to SF, they will instantly start getting paid $100,000s more. Likewise, If Google moves an entire org, doing all the exact same work, from NYC to Raleigh, NC, it will cut everyone's pay by 25%.

I personally am moving from completely remote to completely remote but from somewhere else, specifically because my company pays more than the difference in CoL so it's "free" for me. From the company's point of view, I just became more expensive for no reason and at no gain to them, but that's their policy so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i'd like to see how this would be achieved, putting a rail in the ground would be very expensive and overhead catenary would be hilarious (just imagine a formula 1 car with a pantograph) but equally impractical.
Being a ultra-normal extremely well-documented extremely robust ultra-popular platform folks can expect to have some familarity with and/or grow into? What were your thoughts if any here, or couldnt you find any reasons?
That’s just not true. Tons of people use a Mac as a software development machine and virtually zero of them install a non-macOS operating system.

All it has to do is run Docker and people will continue developing Linux software on it.

That said I don’t think Apple is planning on locking down macs, simply because they have never done so (at least not in the modern era), whereas they have always done so with i-devices. Sure there’s always a chance they could change one practice or the other but there’s no good reason to believe they will.

I am a lead software engineer with over 20 years of experience in many different industries. Most recently I was the first then primary engineer leading a startup to a successful exit. I am a polyglot with experience in several languages - I am an expert in a language I would like to move away from. Most recently I have been focused on TS/JS but would be interested in just about any language; with a little time I can become proficient in any language, framework or paradigm. I am especially interested in typed and/or functional languages. I am most interested in backend positions, but I am experienced in frontend and devops. I may be interested in data science positions - I have a strong SQL and relational DB background. I have a lot more written about my background and outlook in my resume.

In my current role I have a wide range of responsibilities and not much focus. I would prefer to join a well established team where I can contribute deeply and be truly productive. Looking for stability, good work life balance, and a remote first team. I'm looking for a problem worth solving that I can sink my teeth into and make a difference.
There's the "grass is always greener" phenomenon, too. Companies are struggling to figure out the next step, so they hire an exec from some other org that's equally struggling but looks shiny from the outside.

Another pattern I see a lot in the tech world is people who jump up the corporate ladder quickly by jumping from the tech side of companies in some industry, e.g., widget-making, to working at tech companies trying to sell software to the widget industry to startups convinced they can use AI to make better, cheaper widgets and then back to some big widget company that just put out a press release saying they're really a tech company that happens to produce widgets. The widget people figure the exec knows tech, the tech people figure they know widgets.
Sorry to link to another project, but when I think of engineers and recipes, I can only think of "Cooking for Engineers". Here's an example of the kind of diagrams they use:

I would also recommend killing all the social media buttons on your site and replacing them with simple links. Your site loads a ton of garbage from facebook, instagram, pinterest, etsy.

The site also feels quite slow, has flickers of unstyled content before the page loads, and overall feels quite "busy" for a recipe site.

Hey, Microsoft and Apple have to steal their UIs from somewhere.
The abstract looks perfectly fine - it is written so anyone working in this area would know what the paper is going to do. Writing it at a basic level would either require the abstract to be absurdly long or to leave unspecified what the paper contains.

I'm not in particle physics, but have read textbooks and papers in many areas of theoretical physics, and I understand enough of this abstract to know what it's going to do.

If MHV is an acronym you think should be expanded, it is not. There's well over 500,000 hits on google for MHV physics, and only 2900 hits for the expanded term. It is a widely used term in the field.

The most environmentally way to reduce muzzle flash.

> Some key mappings break in text boxes. I've remapped Find to Control+F, which works most of the time, but not if my cursor is in a text box, because then it moves the cursor forward. Control+B for bold and Control-A for select all are likewise. To make it worse, this only happens for certain text boxes, and heck if I can figure out the pattern.

Don't remap Cmd+<key> shortcuts to Ctrl+<key>. The great thing about the cmd key is that it doesn't conflict with anything else. Ctrl-f is forward, ctrl-b is back, ctrl-a is beginning of line, etc, these have been around in emacs (readline?) for a long time and it's great that native os textboxes implement them. This is why it's inconsistent; bad apps use their own snowflake controls and fail to implement them.

cmd-<key> don't conflict which is why they're used. Ctrl-c meaning both SIGINT and "copy to clipboard" is a disaster on terminals, the cmd-c life is much better. By trying to remap cmd to ctrl you're working against the OS and the OS will fight you back because it's not designed to do that.

The Isolation of Life on Prairie Farms (1893)
Sure, but how many people are looking up congressional voting records, examining budgets, and reading thousands of pages of court decisions and the text of proposed legislation to form honest, independent opinions? It sure seems like most people use the internet and tv/cable news to reenforce their red/blue preference by watching shows or reading articles/posts that focus on how horrible blue/red is. Even for prominent sources, the depth of discussion is typically extremely shallow, appealing mostly to emotions, and highly biased towards the 'team' supported by the organization publishing it.

In the voting booth, almost nobody will actually consider the candidates based on their individual merits or plans, regardless of team. The number of voters that dare to split the ticket is well below 10%, outright proving that there's little consideration of 'important issues' ; people pick a side and stick with it.

> Do prosperity and autonomy lie in letting your industries wither and die, or get taken over by foreign countries?

At macro scale and longitudinally, the answer seems to be, "yes", at least regarding prosperity. Regarding autonomy, which country do you think enjoys more autonomy, the U.S. or North Korea? The latter enforces Juche as state ideology (i.e. self-reliance almost as a religion).

But what can be said generally about national economies (especially large, developed economies) doesn't necessarily apply to specific industries.

My two cents. I reviewed the Show HN guidelines. With them in mind, I found the parent comment spot-on and relevant.

I agree that saying "Not another one of these" is not the nicest tone. It could be improved -- how we treat each other in this community matters a lot. But the substance is useful, and I interpret the intent as consistent with "When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is, but don't be gratuitously negative." per the guidelines.

Speaking to the "it's my data" theme, there is at least one additional comment, which I also find useful, asking "What happens if I try this, come to depend on it, and you shut down for some (probably very good) reason? Will I be able to keep using it, or does it die with your severs?"
