I have an XPS and I personally find it better than the M1 MBP in almost everything except power efficiency, so I have much difference experiences compared to your other review in this thread.

The XPS doesn't make much noise and I notice no difference in speed while developing. Some tasks are even faster, because native Docker instead of running via Docker for Mac. The battery doesn't last as long I guess, but it will still last for 8 hours, which is far longer than I need.
No it isn’t.

Agreed, that’s what makes this kind of interesting personally. I tend to prefer smaller devices for travel, being able to get both that and more screen real estate would be pretty cool.
It's not really the job of a business to provide upward mobility unless they explicitly make that part of their business model. Everything else being equal you'd rather have customers who pay more money per head than less.

They also expect that a lot of their customers will be subsidized by their employers.

1:1 converted to Euro, assuming that is a full time job and you live in France or Germany where you might be able to find such a salary, you're almost certainly never owning a home with this job (since it's likely in a big city), and forget about savings. Sometimes even rent might be problematic. It's just above poverty, but still precarious. Quite a chunk below median even.

Big Mac adjusted it looks even worse. Meaning, you're not buying stuff either.

At least you probably won't go bankrupt from medical bills, for what that's worth.
They need to deal & adapt. Having batteries in the truck is not hard. They have a social obligation to a huge number of people to not be disruptive in doing their jobs & it's not at all hard for them to meet that. Gas is not that much easier.

You can enact regulation (which takes time, and which I support) and also buy things that aren't made in China right now. This same thing applies to environmental considerations as well. You don't need to wait for the government to ban plastic bags for you to stop using them. Both can happen together.

The only real difference is cleaning staff on the in-restaurant seating and maybe one more employee for the register (though many seem to be slow enough to have one person doing double-duty).

Out here in the sticks everything is basically back to normal, though one restaurant that was already on the edge appears to be slowly folding.
Sometimes I wonder if these people live in reality. It's the same as the "PHP is a bad language" people. Sorry, but the results speak for themselves, both JS and PHP are thriving and the ecosystems get way more attention that pretty much any other language out there.

You can complain and moan about it or you can roll up your sleeves and do some work. I learned a long time ago to not care what people think of languages since they often have no/bad ideas for a replacement and/or aren't actually solving any real problems, just throwing stones from the sidelines.

> Crockford’s pick to replace JavaScript, E, is an outlier.

I went to the linked site and it just highlights how disconnected from reality these people are. The website is straight out of the 90's, I can't find code sample easily, and there are broken links, this is a bad joke right? If this is really what Crockford thinks should replace JS then it's clear he is off his rocker.

Lastly I couldn't care less what the creator or JSON or JS think about either, those projects left their hands a long time ago and I seriously doubt either are working with this stuff daily, they don't get a vote and their opinions don't really matter.
When was the last time you tried. It is somewhat topic dependent but I've been using brave for a couple of month and have not missed any (except for significantly less content farm results). I sometimes revert back to Google, but at the same time I also used other engines for better results when on Google.
The core advice is to figure out what you want to do in your career, and choose an academic path that supports that. He's pointing out that the mistake people make is to choose an academic subject and assume there'll be a job that maps perfectly to that subject, when there usually isn't.

The issue I have with it is that when I was in college, one of the few things I knew least about is what I wanted to do with my life.

How is Unreal on mobile and VR these days? The new UE5 tech doesn't seem to run on it. I can't really speak from experience but it always felt like mobile dev was a much higher priority for Unity than Unreal. Is that still the case?
I don't think it's hard to adjust, especially if you are surrounded by other apple users who can give you tips like the command-shift-4/5 screen grab shortcuts, etc. Perhaps more important is a familiarity with unix style command line, which goes a long way in macOS.

With decent Linux knowledge I think being issued a MBP at my first job out of college was better for my productivity than a windows machine would have been within a week or so, even as a long time Windows user. Windows has generally always had a higher frequency of annoyances.

Please don't cast GPT-3 aspersions on people or posts, they add nothing to the discussion and are rarely if ever correct. This one certainly is not.

The commenter is lamenting that they don't feel comfortable contributing to an open source project that they use because of the language choice of the project. It's far easier to simply write the couple of sentences involved than to coax GPT-3 to do it. Your apparent inability to understand the commenter's point doesn't make the commenter an algorithm. The correct response, if you are puzzled by a comment, is to ask a respectful question about the comment.

"Assume the best interpretation of a comment" is a core assumption that HN readers are asked to make when reading and commenting on threads, and it's a remarkably good place to start here.
They also create blind spots for other drivers. I’ve noticed this when turning left and a huge truck or SUV is on the other side, it’s hard to tell if there’s a car coming because they’re blocking part of the view.
I mean it seems much more honest to me than the title, which the writer likely didn't choose. My guess is it's been a great conversation piece in the writer's life, and that's what sticks with him moreso than "loss of innocence."
Well-intentioned, I suppose, but this seems more of a scattershot blog post than a thoughtful answer to 'how to choose your college degree'.

I've heard a lot recently about 'picking the right college major'. It's normal to worry about such things. I remember.

But I think obsessing over picking the 'right' college degree is a waste of time. If you have particular interests, follow them in college, but waste no more time worrying if you've made the 'right' choice.

I'm in my 50s. I've heard hundreds of stories of the twists and turns of lives and the role of college in them--including my own. I was dead set on being an electrical engineer, and the first year and a half of college was in that subject. I was certain I was destined to invent the next power source and change the world with it.

I ended up with an undergrad in history, and (years later) a graduate degree in urban planning. I've been in the 'tech' business for 30-odd years as a technical writer, then usability engineer, then software developer, then analyst/product owner/whatever.

The best 'engineer' I know has an undergrad in fine arts. They own three software patents; they also make pottery.

My 'old guy' advice to those staring down college decisions:

The road doesn't matter very much. Taking steps matters. Just keep taking action and learning and adjusting and, for god's sake, enjoy your life. It's a dance, not a long march towards 'eventual' happiness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERbvKrH-GC4

This is obviously false, as shown by the different reactions in Europe to immigration from countries within Europe, to those outside of Europe.

Gel pens can arguably be as enjoyable to use as fountain pens, with easier refills and less to no need for maintenance. Gel pens also work on all types of paper, with no concerns about smudging due to drying.

Pentel Energel refills are very smooth, much more so than Pilot G7 cartridges (but not water-resistant). Zebra Sarasa refills are almost as smooth (and are water-resistant, which can be useful if you get caught in the rain).

I use both gel pens and fountain pens, with gel pens for quick notes and writing while on transit. I could comfortably get by with only gel pens—many people have, as I've seen forum posts by former mathematics and physics students who posted photographs of dozens of refills used up over their degrees. I still prefer fountain pens when I'm at a desk, though it's a pleasant luxury for the smoothness—any significant strain when handwriting for many pages went away when upgrading to higher-end gel pens.
GitHub actions is too good to be true, or rather it's part of Microsoft's eee model embracing and extending the platform before extinguishing it with more paid plans. It's stuff like this that'll eventually make them decide to do it. Although this is super neat, it's just so important to remember never to get too invested into Microsoft things if you're not willing to pay into it later. Idk things like Google photos. GitLab is not doing well, there's no way GitHub could keep actions up for free. Maybe if income from elsewhere can keep paying for it, but anyway... actions is such a mixed bag of feelings for me.
I was given IV treatment.

Every treatment had slightly different results, but only 1 offered me any kind of significant moments.

The most commonly repeated imagery was usually geometric patterns (usually in a glowing neon, accompanied with an EDM auditory hallucination as well), and old-fashioned TV static.

I refer to these sessions as 'brain rewiring'.

The singular significant moment was a quiet nothingness. All the voices stopped. All the inner talk stopped. I can best describe it as:

cat BRAIN >/dev/null

It was incredible, and the only true inner peace I have ever felt.

If you would have kept reading, you would have noticed that employees can apply for an exception to the policy.

So if, for example, you are a UX dev and need to test your CSS on Edge, they have a process that allows you to do that.

And it's not "just a bit of money", Microsoft's enterprise product licensing is truly onerous. It's almost a career unto itself just to make sense of it, and it requires a non-trivial amount of infrastructure to support.
> My impression is that Nix is either on the cusp of a major paradigm and usability change, or the status quo will be forever in a state of having "wrong defaults."

I think probably both. The Nix community is host to very diverse and partially overlapping experimentation, and features like rollbacks and version pinning make the bleeding edge feel relatively safe, further fostering such experimentation.

The new Nix CLI will be huge for new users and for adoption once it's finalized. But there will probably always be a bunch of Nix users doing weird, cool shit that everyone kinda wishes was 'here already' for mainstream use.

Freedom being synonymous with violence is a continuing problem in the US. Most of the people I know that wear a different "freedom" tshirt every other day are open champions for objectively less freedom for most individuals that aren't themselves. Gadsden flags and stickers abound, their particular interest being on the "me."
Man, there’s a lot of negative comments here. Just to add a different experience: my company loves Nix, it makes it really easy to integrate new tools into the dev/build environment without needing to document which packages, configuration, … a developer needs to apply to their machine manually.

There’s nothing like it, really.
It’s somewhat rare for developers to be willing to do that though.
I know nobody wants to do the "software engineers vs engineers" debate again, but even if we are going come down on the "programmers are software engineers" side of that debate, a site which exclusively serves software engineers shouldn't advertise itself as for engineers generally. I was excited to see what EE's would be chit-chatting about. :(

As a suggestion -- it might make sense to put a link to your demo page right near the top of your main 'jointaro' site somewhere, it did a good job of showing what the value proposition is.

This can be fixed by toggling a single MacOS setting to make the scrollbars always visible so that FE devs can feel the pain they are causing to their non-Mac using customers. Can be included into onboarding process. No need for a real windows machine just on that account.
One option is to vote for politicians to increase tariffs or ban imports from China, but that would make the voters’ products/services more expensive. At the end of the day, the politician that wins elections is the politician that delivers lower priced goods/services to the voters.

You're probably thinking of the bend gate controversy, where the bend in the case in the plus model was severe enough to damage the logic board. That, also, was not rare. We saw it constantly in the shop. Nearly every iphone 6, 6s or 6p that entered the shop had a bent case to some degree.
Yes, two of them.

First, RF bandwidth is a shared resource. One may credibly complain about the FCC’s allocation of bandwidth, but the big cellular networks work well because they are centrally managed. If every tall building had ten antennas operated by competing token miners, then they would probably have incentives to deliberate interfere with each other, and they would have little incentive to cooperate. The overall results would be much worse than what we have today.

2. Decentralized blockchains are inefficient. Helium would work every bit as well as it does today (hah) if the payments were centrally managed. Of course, it would be more to regulators and law enforcement, which might be a good thing.

If you have a nice engine that helps with beautiful lighting / shadows, dynamic range, good animation rigging, or other useful tools related to graphics and visuals, it will be easier for you to make a "beautiful" game with less work than if you have to try and bring some of those things yourself.

It is true that people make stunning games even with janky engines by using great art and design. But the easier it is to implement your vision for graphics, the more likely you'll reach that level.
Raw resolution matters a lot less than PPI and contrast/color quality, IMO

> Very few people answer to no one and the rest get told what to do, all too often, throughout their lives.

I don't know about this. I run a team of ML engineers, and the ones who require being told what to do in order to be productive are simply worth less to the team. Sure, the scope of work is very specific (often limited to the teams purpose/mission), but autonomy is very much sought after and rewarded where I work. I simply don't want to work on a team where I, as the boss, am the sole person responsible for finding high leverage problems to solve, and have to then package the work then assign it.
Gitlab OpenSource is one of those software that I wish would go the way of LibreOffice/MariaDB: I wish that some foundation took the good open-source part and forked it to implement a real, full, no strings attached open source application.

I don’t think it would be ww3 as China would get roflstomped by US and Japan.

They might take Taiwan though and ruin the global economy for a few decades.

But I’m not seeing how this gets to be ww3 and not a regional war of just blowing shit up with missles. I don’t think Europe, Africa or South America would get involved unless China fired icbms or bobbed Hawaii or something.

China’s military just isn’t strong enough yet. Maybe in 20-50 years.
Yeah I agree. Even though I do work in software, when I read the post title I thought general engineering (civil, mechanical, electrical, etc.). In fact, I didn't even initially think software engineering at all.

Funny to see Google and Mozilla siding on ethical issues. It really seems like the W3C has finally lost its compass and now wants to venture into the blockchain. Only positive thing is to see Google loosing once in a standards fight, however, I think it might just have been the wrong anarchist endeavour inside the W3C. In the end we will get more centralisation because looks like nobody except the big ones can push standards on a technical decent level (indirectly pushing their agenda).

I believe:

1) The reasons shown as to why Windows is prohibited are essentially parallel construction.

2) The real reason is because someone has an agenda against Windows and Microsoft.

3) This is quite alright. It might be a net loss in the short term for everyone, but a net win in the long term for everyone. Microsoft has a lot of bad stuff coming their way, for good reason.
I was the other way. I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but my university had extremely competitive programs, so getting into the CS program was nearly impossible, even if you were already admitted to the university.
