I have the same dilemma. I've worked at small startups most of my career so unlike many here I don't have many colleagues to lean on.

Recently I was tasked with building a new product that will bring significant revenue to the company. And with that comes tons of new challenges and responsibilities that I haven't had to face previously. From the non-technical side I have to wear basically every hat, project management, recruiting and interviewing, managing the team, etc, because I was given no resources or direction and these things are needed to build a successful product. With that comes lots of people skills that impact the product and architecture, e.g. making sure you hire compatible people, giving people freedom to own things but still giving important direction and feedback, and most importantly reining them back in when they try to introduce the latest tech fad into the product.

Getting back to the question, from the technical side, I had to decide if I'm going to stick with the same tech stack and basic architecture as the rest of our products and if not, I better have a damn good reason. And the truth was, we had essentially zero architecture, and the frameworks we were using in our existing products was a major contributing factor to a high defect rate. And even worse, management assumes I can re-use large parts of our existing products code but that code is tightly coupled to the tech stack they chose. Ultimately the success of the product was on my shoulders. Every night I was reading up on software architecture, researching web frameworks, listening to architecture podcasts. Much of that time was searching HN to read postmorterms of different architectures trying to separate the BS from what works. I chose the hard path of deviating from the existing companies stack. We're now quite a ways into development and that initial effort was worth it. We have a very simple layered architecture in a monolith. Our code quality is fairly high, we have solid unit tests, and our small team is very happy working with the codebase. With that said, I still have imposter syndrome especially when interviewing people that have more experience in areas I'm lacking. And every dev interview I seemingly have to explain and justify why I'm not using microservices!

What happened if you ordered the books only after the first day of class?
I ain't hating but "commoditizing your complement" is just pushing others out and restricting access with extra steps.

Admittedly, the bones they'll throw us in the process do look like they'll be cool, tho.
Basic laws of physics, sure. But how to process the loss of your trust in humans because of the specifics of the abuse you received from your abusers at the ages you received it (schoolmates on the playground, older sibling, anonymous assailants on the street) isn't all that well handled yet by science and the few practitioners that exist.

How to refashion your wants to fit within the reality left after someone ran you over on the way to your wedding and you lost your legs? That's personal.
I think when I'm looking for a discussion I'm not really after a single answer that is "right". Rather, you're looking at the things in common and different between multiple answers, finding out how people weigh tradeoffs, and so on.

This most likely isn't intended to be reading a never-ending stream of bad news (on instagram?), but simply an endlessly scrolling site that keeps loading content before reaching the end of the page. The wiktionary definition [0] seems wrong.

You don't need the game itself to actually support ARM. Box86 (runs x86 on ARM) already works with plenty of games, and it will even work with Wine and DXVK to run Windows games: https://youtu.be/JuRZGf7Jqxg

Also probably Android games.
Agreed. This thread is filled with people who are confusing "consuming productivity content" with "actively being productive". It is one thing to discount reading blogs about time-tracking, efficiency and scheduling instead of implementing it in your daily life. It is quite another to discount the habits of productive people. To write those off en masse is to ignore the very real and obvious gradation of effectiveness we see in those around us.

There are two counter-points that are often dismissed. The first is that if you haven't encountered the concepts, you aren't likely to stumble upon them without searching. Learning to plan and organize your behavior is no different from learning the fundamentals of any other skill.

The second is precisely your point. Our thoughts and behaviors are driven by context. Given a person reading a blog about time-tracking and a person who-knows-where on an infinite social media scroll, who is more likely to close their browser and do whatever they feel is most important? I know who I would bet on.
> I don’t need to live forever.

Nobody does. Death is part of the health and evolution of of any ecosystem. Old people, and old ideas, need to gradually make way for the next generation. This must however go along with a robust education in history, as we are prone to making the same kinds of mistakes over and over.

Ha, amusing to see a fan of this song. I'm class of '99 and definitely remember that this song exists now that I see this thread, but had forgotten up until today and do not remember a single word. Still love Romeo+Juliet, though, and make my wife watch Quindon Tarver (RIP) singing When Doves Cry on YouTube every few months when I think about him.
The strangest thing about ultrapure water, to my mind, is that it's blue. Well and truly blue, like you'd see in a cartoon. Blue in a way that ordinary water or even ultrapure heavy water aren't. (Supposedly, for heavy water. You need a decent amount of the stuff to really be sure of the color with your own eyes, and I've never actually seen that much heavy water, let alone ultrapure heavy water.)

You'll not find this on Wikipedia, so it surprised us a bit when we first saw it. But it's in the literature if you know where to look. Or we could just trust our eyes and our resistivity probes... neither were lying.

Would love to know if you have any recommendations along these lines.

I feel like not using microservices is a pretty common decision, if anything I think using microservices requires justification more than not using them
The user-facing file is called "Acornfile", with no extension at all. We do not use .cue for anything a user would see. You're looking at files that are an internal implementation detail (and are valid CUE).
Neither of those makes any sense.

I suppose I wouldn't personally think of it as limiting exposure like that - prod is prod, beta feature or not - but if one does for a given product then yes sure it's a bad bug.

Do we really think Cloudflare Email Routing private beta was private to somehow trusted parties only though? Presumably 'N-mutual trusted parties' too, for regulatory compliance. I assume not; not least because the product security lead is here in the comments saying they vetted logs etc. after the fact to ensure that only OP took advantage of this.

Do you mean the private ECC key? I don't know the specific details of the system, such as if or when a specific device key used for iCloud enrollment can be rotated. (I have no specific familiarity with Apple's iCloud or device management code, I'm just familiar with publicly known details of the T2, and also familiar with the macOS/iPhone Keychain APIs for generating and using T2 keys.)

But in case it wasn't clear: it's not an API key, but a public/private ECC P-256 key pair used for ECDSA signing. Apple only knows the public key (it doesn't much matter if the whole world knows the public key), whereas the private key never leaves the T2 chip. If any secrets have been exfiltrated from the T2 enclave there are bigger problems at hand, and generating a new key pair would be useless before fixing those problems.
There's also LibreTexts, which are designed to be remix-able. I think they pull in most/all of the OpenStax content into their platform as well as generating their own.

Isn't the reason why people gravitate to standard utilities such as emacs and vim largely because they simply can't cope with all of the shiny graphical bloat while they are trying to wrack their brains coming up with some new kind of thing or another? I use vim, and I've spent countless hours of my life trying to write a new kind of vim with it. (See: https://lotw.site/shell, then enter "import fs && vim" at the prompt.)
Sure city kids exist, but there has been a clear trend for decades of parents with growing families moving out to the suburbs in search of more space and higher quality of life at an affordable price. It's certainly possible to squeeze multiple children into a typical small city apartment, but it's a miserable experience and few people voluntarily choose that when they have other options.

In San Francisco there are now more dogs than children. Pretty much the only parents who stay are the wealthy who can afford large homes in safe neighborhoods regardless of price, and the poor who receive subsidized housing and have no where else to go. When the middle class has kids they move out to the East Bay suburbs, where they can afford a back yard and don't have to put up with junkies on their doorstep.
Nitpicky point here, but that's not localhost - localhost is typically 127.0.0.1 (although the entire /8 is reserved for loopback use, this is the only address defined in a typical hosts file).

That was my very first computer, and put me on the IT path. I had so much fun with that computer. As some would call it, it was gateway drug to computers!

I remember upgrading to 48K of RAM, and telling myself: I'll NEVER run out of memory. Sadly, I did run out of memory when I created an inventory program for my Dad's business. And I've been running out of memory ever since!

To be fair, the majority of my "file manager" work is in my IDE, or other applications.

If there's any other file motion, odds are it'll be the command line for me.

I'm not pedantic about it, it's just how it is.

My current gross abuse at this level is with the Mac Page/Numbers/Keynote/TextEdit applications that work with Apple document model.

I know I should, I but I just don't close anything. For quick letters in Pages, I just reuse the same template over and over and print it out. It's not untoward for me to have 30+ "Untitled XXX" documents open. Just one of the many zillion windows I routinely have open. I have 50 documents open in Preview. So, my "file manager" is the Windows menu.

The pervasive persistence of the Apple Document model is very abuse friendly.

I agree completely. I was working for a company that had been around for over 20 years and when that happened, I did both 1&2. It was pretty clear that I had made all the improvements I could there and that nothing would get any better.
Hi @seanhunter, any chance you have a source for this?

No, that doesn't follow at all. Both things are advertising != both things are absolutely identical. Do you not speak english natively?

Assange rots in prison, Alex Jones gets found guilty of defamation by default judgment, FBI raids James O'Keefe and leaks his phone data to NYT (which he is suing), and to top it all we have a soviet-style shitshow trial directed by politicians in January 6th Committee.

Now, I will see some awesome mental gymnastics of people explaining how none of these things have any effect on freedom of speech.
As a consumer, you want everything to be a commodity (i.e. and abundance of choice). This means you'll have more options at every price point.
Thanks! I didn't know about LibreTexts!

It's probably also worth mentioning Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive, although you probably won't find an up-to-date textbook for a class in them unless you're studying Classical Greek or something. And no lesson plans.
In my middle school German textbook, I found the following note (translation my own):

Hi Katie, we should meet up over tea over these images. The first image should be a simple sketch of two dudes playing football, tell the guys in graphics that the one they gave me is waaa too complex. The second image should be a chick playing tennis.

The note went on in this manner for a couple more sentences, describing all the images on the page. Because I was a blind student who used a screen reader, I had to get the PDF version from the publishing company, which I then put in a specialized ebook reading app for the blind. I strongly suspect that the editors of that book used some PDF tricks for hiding information to post notes to each other. Whether they were alt descriptions, white fonts on white background, regions shrunk to be 1px tall by 1px wide or something else entirely, I do not know. That file was intended for printing, not digital distribution, so I guess that they decided the notes didn't need removing as long as they weren't visible.

I notice you use the qualify your statement with "likely". Does that mean you agree things could still be good in some circumstance?
Thank you. Will try that!
Have you ever messed around w/ Julia? It doesn't really have much "internal machinery" since it relies on a data-oriented/functional language structure. I find myself reading the Julia source code on a regular basis since it's very readable and succinct. I often find it more useful than the documentation itself.

It can take a bit to fully understand/appreciate Julia's multiple dispatch, but once you do you pretty much understand the entirety of the machinery.
I still use IRSSI as an IRC client, running in a screen session, through SSH, from multiple machines or even from my phone. The TUI in gnu screen over SSH setup is really handy for securely accessing a continuously-running application from anywhere you happen to be. I could use irccloud or some other web based thing, sure, but I like hosting my own services and having auth and device whitelisting uniformly handled the SSH way. Yet a chat client doesn't work well as a set of CLI commands as opposed to a TUI. Email from TUI might not be too bad either. There are lots of cases where I think it'd fit.
I hope they are financially well because it is one of the few online things I think it works.

Really, what people think should go in comments should instead go to commits, which is actually a snapshot of what the author was trying to achieve during a point in time.

Inline comments just become out of date or mangled. Commit revisions are the source of truth.
I'll check that out. I'm near to Corinne but Roy isn't far.

More and more terminal apps come with a --json parameter, so that their output can be easily machine parseable.

Frankly I have little interest in being great at my job. It's a job. At the end of the day, I have exactly as much loyalty for the company as they do for me. None. [1] Furthermore, the "rewards" for being great at your job kind of suck, which at most companies is just slowly accruing experience until you get noticed and someone has the bright idea to make you a manager. [2]

I want to be great at software engineering. I want to use tech to build things. I see it as coincidence that there's enough overlap between that goal and the company's goal to at least make me good at my job.

[1] That's a lie. I wish I had no loyalty to the company, but my personal pride in a job well done unfortunately means I have a non-zero amount of company loyalty.

[2] Just happened to me, actually. My stress levels are through the roof, and I didn't even get a raise. Clearly I miscalibrated my job performance.

I have, but it took a very long time. For the most common operations, you can get Emacs to be as convenient as whatever you're coming from, but it takes quite a bit of work and learning if you're new to it. When I transitioned, LSP wasn't a thing either so it had to be configured fresh for every language, pretty much.

What makes it worth it for me is that

(a) Once configured properly, I have a uniform interface to files, regardless of what sort of files they are. This save me time and mental effort.

(b) Emacs is extremely hackable in ways you won't understand for the first year or two, at least. If there's something about its behaviour you don't like, you can run a couple of commands and be taken to the relevant parts of the editor (Lisp) source code. Then you can replace that code (or better, write new code that hooks into it dynamically) with whatever you would like instead.

The latter sounds like a nutty thing to desire, and it's very hard to appreciate it without having used it for a while.
When I was 13, I checked out Steven Levy's "Hackers" from the public library.

Inside I found a handwritten note from a 14 year old boy which said something to the effect of "If you like stuff like this, call me!" So I did! We ended up being friends for a couple years and exchanging C64 software and talking about nerd stuff.

Why not run your own method on their benchmark? If your method is general-purpose, it should be very easy. And it would be very impressive to see your method succeed on a task that was not chosen by you to write your paper.
4th sentence in:

>Amazon’s carbon intensity –- a measure that divides its emissions by gross merchandise sales –- fell 1.9%, an indication of the company’s success in delivering products and running its warehouses, data centers and offices more efficiently

It is pretty impressive that they can grow 18% while increasing energy efficiency.
>Maybe I'm just _too_ into the linux lifestyle, but as a full time linux user (outside of work where they have me use a macbook), I just use the terminal as my file manager. `ls`, `cp`, `mv`, `rm`, and then a utility installed to have a CLI command for putting things in the trash instead of permanently deleting is pretty much all I need.

I certainly get your point of view. As a long time Unix/Linux user, I find that the standard tools (as you mention) are great, and I use them most of the time.

However, when dealing with large numbers of files/folders and being responsible for their organization/storage, a tool such as MidnightCommander[0][1] can be quite useful.

If that's not your use case and/or other tools work better for you, that's great!

I'd posit that (lack of) prior experience may impact such choices. But IMHO, whatever gets the job done is perfectly fine.

Computers also eliminated the flight engineer position. So at the very least flying would be much more costly.
Perhaps we should write down the things we really learned from reading HN, so we can decide later if it was worth the time.
That never actually happens though, what ends up happening is that people realize it's better to be a literal cartel and MONOPOLY!

As someone who just started mountain biking for health two days ago (mid-30s now, always been athletic but decided to take the pandemic off...)

I agree with all this! Great list. I'm considering taking today off from doing hills on the mountain bike, but maybe I'll still go out and ride some flats, not sure it's more healthy to take a day off from it right now. I felt great for hours after both rides.
