> Would you also respect the wishes of a schizophrenic person, if they say much the same thing?

In general, I would respect someone's wishes. If they want to be Mork from outer space, K.

Of course, there are some very limited cases where we may reasonably believe that playing along is harmful either to ourselves or to the other person. If there's a broad medical consensus that something is harmful to someone, then maybe we shouldn't do it.

A biologically female person who wants to be called "they," because they have decided they don't like the connotations attached to "she" right now, doesn't rise anywhere close to that in my opinion.
What I've never heard is how messages like "Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again" actually result in a better experience for anyone at all - yet UX designers seem to love them.
Ok, there's no need for errors to be totally cryptic and meaningless to end-users, but the basic principle is

a) if the problem is something the user might be able to do something about, explain what they'll need to do (e.g. free up disk space)

b) if not, give the user everything they can to ensure if they need to go through a support channel or search elsewhere for info about the error they can get the help they need, i.e. at least some sort of unique message or code.

c) if it's a transient error that's not the user's fault, explain that and suggest at what point they should retry (and reassure them that nothing destructive/unwanted/irreversible has occurred or will occur on retrying).

Is HVF Apple-specific? Is it related to ARMv8.3/8.4 Nested Virtualization? Does Graviton 3 or some other commercial offering have this support too?
It is great willing something into existence. The feeling when you solve a problem/achieve something, that's great. See something you designed work (like a robot).

My day job is building microservices/another CRUD thing but I hope to transition to more physical stuff in the future.

I didn't grow up with code/technology. I just came into it in my college years. Was a desperate attempt to escape poverty while failing out of college with debt. I got lucky to stumble onto this field. Later on I grew to like it just for creation. I have always been a builder (rc stuff when I was younger).
Turns out the cry of "institutionalized racism and sexism" was actually a threat.
Hi gigatexal, Thanks for interest,

eDocAPI is a SaaS platform, serverless API, no need a servers, no config,
it's ready to use. can be used from web interface, terminal, mobile app, desktop app, or integrate it with any programming language (PHP, Nodejs, Golang, Java, Python, ...), on windows, linux, mac, chrome os, ios, android ....
You should start by building and shipping something even if it is minimal. Starting an open source project with a post calling to form a team and so on is an anti-pattern imo. Good OSS projects always should start with code from one or maybe two people that does something useful, and attract contributors from there. Just my 2c, good luck!

It's pretty common to discriminate based off race and sex. Public institutions due it as a matter of policy in the name of social justice. I'm not sure how it could be more mainstream.

Insufficient poofy 80s hair in that statement.
>> They refer to it as “eliminating bias”, but it’s really just an attempt to mold these new technologies into conformance with one very specific set of ideological commitments.

> It is quite literally creating bias.

None of the people who do it care. One of the deceptive tactics that's pretty common in contemporary political discourse is to corrupt definitions in order to enforce controversial ideology using anodyne language.

>> Proponents view it as some kind of obvious universal good, and are confused when anyone else is appalled by the blind foolishness of it all.

IMHO, that "confusion" is an act.

I think in the context of these discussions, growth is one thing: "The increase in the inflation-adjusted market value of goods and services produced over time." (e.g. EBITDA of a company or GDP of a country).

I don't think anyone is arguing against the word growth in a general sense... Clearly we can "grow" our knowledge, or undertake "personal growth", or whatever.

The people who argue against "growth" are, in a way, agreeing with you: They're saying "GDP is a terrible metric to optimize and we should find a way to stop optimizing for it. It creates perverse incentives. Digging oil out of the ground and burning it to make a ski-slope in the desert increases GDP. Selling houses to each other for ever-increasing prices increases GDP. Those things suck.

They're saying that perhaps we could make the world better by changing the metrics we optimize for... Perhaps that's population happiness, quality-adjusted life years per person, projected climate change impact, world biodiversity, etc etc. And they're saying that maybe if we optimize on those things, GDP is going to have to drop. And that should be OK. But with the system we have built, it's not OK. So we're in a bind.
I don't think structural color happens in (things that are exclusively) liquids? As far as I know it's the O-H bond, mediated by the other O-H bond being nearby, that's responsible for the color.

Until the growth of population slows down, a commuter subway that isn't iterating and improving capacity will get worse too. Just look at New York pre-covid. The subway was literally and figuratively collapsing under the growth in passengers.
Regarding your first question:

>The reason this matters is because chips matter for many use cases outside of PCs and servers — Intel’s focus — which is to say that TSMC matters. Nearly every piece of equipment these days, military or otherwise, has a processor inside. Some of these don’t require particularly high performance, and can be manufactured by fabs built years ago all over the U.S. and across the world; others, though, require the most advanced processes, which means they must be manufactured in Taiwan by TSMC.

>This is a big problem if you are a U.S. military planner. Your job is not to figure out if there will ever be a war between the U.S. and China, but to plan for an eventuality you hope never occurs. And in that planning the fact that TSMC’s foundries — and Samsung’s — are within easy reach of Chinese missiles is a major issue.

Regarding your second question, what companies and countries do you have in mind?

If there is the profit test then the subway operator will always strive to continue maximizing revenue while minimizing cost. That could be automated trains without drivers, making the trains more reliable to encourage more ridership, marketing events like free weekend riding, and all sorts of things.

I see a million use cases: no-code data scraping, analytics, feeds, notifications etc. Just think of the web as a giant database with URLs as table names and CSS selectors as column names. I started to work on it about half a year ago after I got tired of writing Python scripts every time I needed to join subsets of various online databases.
It has happened to me. Sometimes you are tired at times the question/solution doesn't click immediately.

At those times I wish the interviewer would leave for a few minutes so I could focus completely and grasp the problem and get started. The observer effect of watching and trying to hold a conversation breaks focus.
I bet for every one neo-nazi they block hundreds of birthdays or Chinese [0]. Just seems overly sensitive to me when you wouldn’t even know a person is a neo-nazi unless they start saying neo-nazi shit. Saying neo-nazi shit is in itself grounds for a ban so why block the number 88 at all? How could anyone possibly be offended by the number 88 alone?

Where do pro-social institutions come from? (2015)
Absolutely, my wife and I cook most of our meals. The bad experience I had with DoorDash earlier today was exacerbated by the fact that we're both at home recovering (suffering) from COVID at the moment and so using their service was more out of necessity than anything else and they really fell short.
Blogging, both on my own website and social media. It's been unreasonably effective as a way to meet people and source career opportunities.
The average large corporation is typically in a stable/stagnant industry that is nowhere near as competitive as chips, where the stakes are 100x higher.

They get by being the largest kid on the block and few young companies chomping at the bit, and a series of B/C-tier competitors even dumber and poorly run that they can't even do the next quarter effectively.

Countless mega-corps are just floating by with the ebbs and flows of a market, burning off some early moment of success. Staying at the top longer than a decade or two (usually the timeframe where other market entrants take notice of your weakness) is the real test.

Otherwise just being a decent manager/leader that keeps the existing established business model chugging along and hiring slightly above average executives to put out fires is good enough.
I cannot imagine tiktok doing anything good for me given how much instagram videos bore the hell out of me. What is it exactly that gives you a „kick“?
China doesn't need to take TSMC by force. All they need to do by force is install a puppet government in Taipei.

No bombs will fall anywhere near TSMC's facilities. No tanks will go anywhere near their employee parking lots. Life will go on just like before. For a few years, at least.

It'll be just like Hong Kong. No bloodshed there either.
It’s not any different and that’s exactly the problem. Everyone is well aware by now that sometimes Google shuts down services. Been there, lived it. Writing low-effort comments about how Google often shuts down services makes the Google-related topics on Hacker News more tedious to read and you should stop doing that.

Better to share links to interesting and relevant content. News about what was happening with the SCO lawsuit was interesting back in the day. Low-effort complaints about it were not.

Well that's not entirely true. AT&T is basically a zero-growth company as well. And they trade at a P/E of 6.7. A similar valuation for a zero-growth Apple would be about $40/share.

Totally, I imagine they incentivize / encourage bad restaurants to appear as ghost kitchen brands on their platform, and to algorithmically inflate reviews so that most averages appear to be over 4.0.

Since I’m self-employed, I just use the weather. If it’s nice outside, I’ll go out on my bicycle or play in the garage. When the weather isn’t great, I’ll get work done.

Those breaks work exactly as you said. They let me zoom out and think things through, instead of grinding towards a local maximum. A bit of time and distance lets me reconsider my priorities and work on what feels right.

Otherwise I’ll just work on things that matter less for a bit and let important tasks simmer until I’m feeling fresh enough to tackle them. For example, CSS fixes to take a break from obscure German tax laws.
Sure it is. A company that actually isn't really growing like Exxon or AT&T have P/Es below 10. 27 is pretty high for a value investment.
Similarly, we'll be tempted to ask virtual famous people from the past about events that happened after they died, but their responses will be extremely speculative.

Kind of related, I had some instant noodles that I didn't much care for, so I taped some money to them and left them with a note in a common area anonymously saying that I would pay someone to take them. I had to add more money a few times before someone did. It's amusing to invert the system.

Many times when I've sent this type of error but it's not actually transient was a mistake in misclassifying the error. So if the code doesn't actually know it's a or b, it's not surprising it defaults to c.

The only people who treat data as plural are academics, usually social scientists, and overeducated journalists. Sentences like, "What do these data tell us?" are awkward for everyone else.

Like "information", "data" is correctly used as a singular mass noun.

California funding 3% down first time buyer program with $1B a year
Big talk for a guy who's inventing something to feel superior about.

Why bother spending your time minimizing the passion someone else feels about software design?

Maybe the person who wrote the post and the scores of people who upvoted it feel this way on behalf of the countless users who get stupid error messages from carelessly designed software?

I think more people should write about the things they dislike about software. And when they do, they ought to ignore the people who ask why they're getting so annoyed about something that doesn't matter.

I went the other way and refuse to measure things. I have a gut feeling for “enough” and it’s not a fixed value. It varies according to internal and external factors. I prefer to trust that feeling over arbitrary targets.

I feel good about a long enough bike ride, even if it’s a few kilometres below average. Maybe I was tired, or maybe I lingered in cafes with a good book that time. Distance isn’t a good measure of happiness.

California is starting one of the most interesting experiments in Real Estate. It is effectively functioning a hedge fund extending 3% down payment mortgages for first time buyer in the state. Huge incentive to pump property values at all cost and pushing much of the risk on the buyers.
For me, it can be fun when I am solving a more abstract problem that fascinates me, when I am not constrained by time and by other people’s opinions, and when starting on a clean slate without any accrued technical debt.

Did you look at the picture? https://i.imgur.com/0qiTKSQ.jpg Books I commonly buy secondhand that look roughly like those pictured are anywhere from $10–$200 each (depending on how common the particular book/edition is); we’re talking about pretty ordinary old academic books, nothing fancy or extremely rare.

A quick counter point to the parent comment: I'd actually love to have supplement recommendations from a trusted source. I've heard on multiple occasions that many supplements found in large retailers don't have the ingredients they claim to have. So that would be highly valuable to me.

Anyone can date whomever they want based on whatever criteria they want.

But if someone wants to be called "he" despite not being born with a penis-- what's the big deal? Are you being harmed so much by complying?

> > if they don't like us referring to their race or features in a certain way, we stop.

> Maybe to their face.

Well, here we're talking about the code we're writing that will presumably be telling them "to their face" in some context. And, polite company defers to wishes of people even behind their back and doesn't insist on trivializing their deepest insecurities once they're out of earshot, or being able to call someone the n-word when they're not there.

> particularly characteristics that gave someone an advantage

Do you think being deeply uncomfortable with your birth-assigned gender and wanting to be called "he" gives you a big advantage? (Please don't bring up the sports thing, because it's not what we're talking about and that's a completely different kettle of fish).
I have used K for multiple interview and take-home programming questions. The use of K always raises interesting questions such as "Where is the code?", "How does this work?", "How is the K executable so small?", and "Why is it so fast?"
I think it's a big assumption that the ROI of tests in general is in the same ballpark as the ROI of static analysis.

In my experience, many tests written in commercial software engineering have ~zero or even negative ROI. This mostly applies to micro-level testing like unit tests; macro-level testing like integration tests can be fantastically valuable and I've even come to believe that they're the only type of tests most teams should spend time writing.
Yes, it seems many adware apps do this. Do a small pointless update, show a splash screen listing the "changes", and cram an ad in there too (which is the real purpose of the popup).

But presumably there is valid info about being more productive. You claim to share such info in this very comment. It's a very specific subset of advice that you are identifying.
This is missing the point. Your reply boils down to a very confident but absurd explanation that you’re using Yiddish to mean any character with enough “jewy” traits. You don’t even have to be a Jew to be a yid anymore!

The problem isn’t that you’re “conflating the two”, in fact the offense comes from how you’re dividing them. You’re taking a word that literally means Jewish, and as a noun is almost always pejorative, and using it to mean “jew-y but not necessarily jew-ish”. I don’t know why you think that’s better, but it isn’t!

I think there’s an underlying point where we’re passing each other by that there’s a real difference between something like “a character derived from the Yiddish theater” or even “an archetypal Yiddish character” and “The Yiddish Brooklynite”. The first two are drawing a connection between a character, a culture, and a theatrical condition. The second, your usage, is just labeling an archetype Yiddish in preference to labeling it Jewish.

To try and be as clear as I can: I’m not sayin that these archetypes don’t exist (although I think you’re over-broad, as in your very confident mischaracterization of Rosie and subsequent goalpost-move), or are bad, or shouldn’t be used or talked about or whatever. What I’m saying, as a Jew (and perhaps speaking to another!) is please don’t use the word Yiddish to describe a person or group. You can just say Jewish! It’s fine! No one will think that you mean Jon Stewart and Larry David are playing the same character! Or even just Brooklynite, if you’re being honest with yourself about the character having nothing to do with Jewishness.

Engineers should be CEOs? Eh, probably not necessary and even a bad idea when you get past the early stage.

Engineers should run engineering companies? Yes, absolutely. The CEO is not the only position that "runs" the company - there should at the very least be a CTO that has equal political clout in terms of long term decision making.
