> Complex is better than complicated (Zen of Python)

Complexity, on itself, is not bad. Something complex CAN be understood with adequate application of study and practique, ie: A intelectual matter, that is in fact easier for humans.

"Complicated" instead is a mastery of moral fortitude: Patience, dedication, patience, hard work, resilience to many failed attempts, patience... and that is much harder for humans!

---

Exist "accidental complexity" that is unfortunate (most/some of C++ is like that!) and "intentional complexity" that is ok (the Rust borrow checker is that).

If the complexity is designed, then is easier to teach and must have a solid reason to be, so, is easier to accept (that is part of why Rust is loved: Yes, is hard, but we know why is hard and is clear why is an acceptable trade-off).

---

In the other hand, Rust/C/C++/Zig have a theme: Are part of a, lets say, "design school" that are prone to do amazing local optimization but not very well on the whole simplicity, "the C school of things"(?)

Pascal (and few others) are actual system languages with overall simplicity as goal, without a better name, of the "design school of Nicolas".

So, you CAN get simpler yet performant/system languages but the industry is dominated by a "design" camp that in part just copy each other and don't see when are introducing, yet again, another accidental complexity.

Luckily some of this forgotten "design school" is being rediscovered, because too much complexity have proven to be too much! so in the case of late entries (Rust, Zig, Go...) you actually see some push toward simplicity, so is not like nobody is pushing for it, is that not everybody (aka: Meaning the who design them) push for simplicity as a major goal.

To make a example, in Rust the use of structs/algebraic enums/traits IS a show of simplicity.
Beans and rice are both great staples and it makes sense to store them if you have the room. However, saying that they're more protein than beef is absurdly wrong.

A dehydrator is another good option for preserving perishables. The shelf life is a bit shorter than most people would think, but properly packed and sealed you can get at least 3 months or so.

A freeze drier will preserve perishables for significantly longer than a dehydrator, but they cost an order of magnitude more. If you have a big garden or something though the three grand outlay might be worth it.
Some engineers see themselves as merely tools, so they "sharpen" themselves to be used effectively. Why would MAANAM (FAANG is a bit outdated) want more creative ones? They will get bored and leave.
How would they get that comparable info from other companies? Do the CEOs all have a secret slack channel were Satya is bragging that one MS dev equals 3 googles programmers?
Then good luck hiring a well sized team when you’ve set the expectation that everyone needs to be a genius to contribute. A successful startup needs to either attract only the best engineers or build itself so that most of the work can be done by merely good engineers following the company’s engineering culture.
I've got a Fully 2 leg standing desk and maybe my definition of "very wobbly" is different than yours, but I've been happy with it.
This looks great!

One problem I've noticed is that with my adjustable desk (Jarvis) I found that following guides on "proper pose" the correct height of my desk is 26 inches when sitting down (and I'm not short), while this has a minimum height of 30 inches.

Are you planning to add an extended range option?

Even worse is that smart people see the patterns and can predict the outcome with a reasonable degree of accuracy, however, they can not do anything about it because speaking up usual results in being labelled negative and being shunned.

This is very much like knowing the train is going to fall off the bridge but not being able to stop people from boarding.

Hello! I am a self taught CyberSecurity professional with a CompTIA Security+ certification (currently working on my eJPT). I have experience in Software Engineering but I am most interested in Cybersecurity. I am currently seeking an interesting role somewhere within the world of CyberSecurity (preferably red team but I am open to blue team as well). Drop me a line and let's have a chat!
Plenty of languages have very arbitrary and complex rules for pronouns or other signifiers. You wanting these to be, in English, very closely tied to specific characteristics of expressed gender similar to traditional usage doesn't make it have to be so.

Plenty of humans live in a language where you can't figure out what's in people's pants or whether they're likely to wear a skirt without someone explicitly telling you. Maybe it's time to shrug, and realize that language of English is morphing enough that you're going to experience this same difficulty. Your only choice is whether you passive-aggressively refer to people in ways that they don't like or not.

What's with showing up every day or two to poke at this with a two sentence reply, when you're active elsewhere on hacker news much more often? Just trollin'?
It's OKR season
Yeah, but that's also different from how people, especially management, tend to conceptualize 10x engineers. You don't spot the 10x engineer by looking for the one who accomplishes 10x what other engineers do. You spot them by looking for the team that's accomplishing 5x what other teams are, and then finding the "glue" person on that team.

This piece resulted from something a reader pointed out in response to my earlier story on the new licence agreement, linked below.

Since then, one of the authors of Real/32 has responded to me, with some fascinating clarifications.
I found this to be the most insightful comment in the whole thread.
Loved the article.

Whenever I read articles or releases by Fly.io, it makes me want to work with them. As a newbie who's interested in databases and networking, I reckon it would be an amazing experience in the team.

Unfortunately, they do not hire interns or likewise (from their job page) and I assume, from the amazing work they do, they aren't looking for beginners. =)

EDIT: Thanks to people encouraging me to apply. I'll definitely try!
That's great! I didn't know -c supported multiline - I always just crammed it into one line with semicolons.
Looking down, to where I store my coffee, for data I can display on my other screen. Seems like another monitor would be a much better investment for someone with additional data to display, and much healthier.
Glad these guys seem to finally be noticing.

I was a software engineering manager at a lean, high-margin, profitable start-up based in the NYC area starting in the late 2000s. We were acquired in 2014 by a very typical (for the time) SV-based competitor that had raised hundreds of millions in an IPO a few years earlier. Our acquirers had yet to see a single quarter of profit, of course.

I and my team had so many good laughs at the attitudes of our CA counterparts. One especially strong memory is when, a week after a particularly dismal quarterly earnings report, a junior engineer based in the HQ of our new corporate overlords sent out a team-wide email complaining about the corporate decision to no longer stock the refrigerators with free fresh blueberries. They bemoaned the lack of respect for the "talent," and tossed in gratis the ubiquitous pseudo-threat "if you don't treat us right, we can always go down the road to an employer who will."

On visits to HQ in Redwood City, I marveled at the paradisaical campus-like setting (several buildings around a "quad," with parks, a tennis court, swimming pool, gyms, etc. etc.) and noted the amount of time the local staff spent taking advantage of these amenities. I remember the engineers on my team from HQ explaining to me that my proposed stand-up meeting schedule wouldn't work beacuse their intramural basketball league scheduled their games for that time. Meanwhile, in our low-perqs atmosphere in NY, distractions were limited and productivity was high. We also all made money.

Since that was Silicon Valley during one of the many gold rushes, I thought that I must have been "missing something." What seemed like common sense to me was clearly heresy to the golden people there. The explanation I arrived at was that such perqs were the necessary counterpart to an expectation that your employees have no life other than work.

I came to realize I wasn't missing anything, they were. That company did end up burning through their cash stockpile, and had to sell a few years later for less than 1/4 of what they paid to acquire us.
Ask HN: What's the best way to create a database for legal document clauses?
I am a lawyer, so apologies if the question is too naive.
I have thousands of agreements from over a decade of my legal practice. These documents comprise of various contractual clauses (multiple paragraphs). Right now, the documents are stored in folders and word/pdf formats :D. I am now looking to store clauses (and not entire documents) relating to similar topics together. Any suggestions how I should go about doing this? While for now it is intended for my captive use, at some point in the distant, I might want to provide access to public as well. Though I am not a tech expert, I am reasonably confident of learning just enough to solve any particular problem I face.
Maybe your hypothesis that device attestation is the answer to spam is just… wrong?

Maybe Google doesn't think you need device attestation to manage spam on a messaging platform. There are numerous examples of apps today that don’t suffer from spam and don’t use device attestation. And there are examples of spam on iMessage.

Furthermore, I can already receive messages on my iPhone from non-iMessage users so I don’t even understand how any of what you’re saying makes sense in the first place. RCS is a protocol (not a platform) that would make the experience of receiving those messages better. It does not add some new attack vector for spammers.

Have you tried using a device with an RCS messenger app and been plagued with spam more-so than on iPhone? I switch between devices all the time and have not noticed any difference.

It’s not about spam. It’s about Apple playing lazy/dirty. Hence the OP.

Gas went down since last month.

But the point isn't specifics. The point is that the existence of some things that went up by more than 8.5% over last year is not meaningful evidence that the 8.5% number is a lie.
Fascinating. History repeats itself I guess - truly great ppl don't need to write themselves down anything. Others will do it for them.

Thanks for sharing :-)
By easily, I meant that the baby would have good chances of survival. It wouldn't be fighting against 1% odds and require $100M expenditures in the NICU

Yes, I've witnessed a birth.

Most babies born go on to live normal lives. Do you really think I was implying I was a mindreader, and I know the baby would have a normal life, rather than just saying the odds are good?

You interpreted my comment 100% in bad faith which is pretty lame for HN. You might feel more comfortable on reddit.
> This is just the reality of introducing a new UDP-based protocol in a world that's played pretty fast and loose with UDP delivery. If QUIC eats the world this thinking will likely change.

Well, no, not really? A standards-conforming link can drop QUIC's initial packet; that's not "fast-and-loose", that's QUIC requiring a PMTU that might not exist. There's a minimum guaranteed PMTU, and it's <1,200 B. Now, it is higher in IPv6… which will roll out any day now eye twitches.

(Sure, most links might have MTU's that are that high, but I think there's a different bar for standards. Either raise the required MTU for IPv4, or permit fragmenting, or handle lower PMTUs like TCP, or … etc. I.e., solve the problem.)

But the idea with QUIC (as I had had hopes for) would be to use it for applications where TCP's stream abstraction is the wrong interface for the job.

> Think I should update the wording?

Personally, yes.
This is also false! Signal stores messages and keys in iOS storage classes that do not leave the device and are not included in backups.
We're trying to build such a network of sites at https://Looria.com. We aggregate and summarize the most trusted product reviews on the web from sources like Reddit, Youtube, or Consumer Reports. Just like Rotten Tomatoes provides trustworthy ratings for movies, Looria offers ratings and reviews for all kinds of products.

We focus on keeping track of and removing the special status of sources caught getting paid to write fake reviews. Some categories are more prone to astroturfing than others, and we account for that by restricting the sources. Actively curating the sources is part of our daily work.
True, this is very much about the workplace.

What follows is not really directed at you but rather reflecting on this whole comment section, I hope you forgive me :)

IN the article, the only case where I insist on being right is in scenario #4, where I can actually demonstrate that a fact is true. In fact, it's not me being right, it's the result of the experiments I propose. Otherwise, I'm either asking questions, trying to actually state my opinion in the first place, or not willing to say something I don't agree with because it goes against my values.

Agreeing or defusing the situation is necessary for personal relationships, but this is the workplace, and while it's good to be nice, it has to go both ways. The easiest way to deal with conflicting opinions in personal relationships is just to be curious, a good listener, and not (or rarely) state any opinions of your own. That might sound a bit sad, but I have plenty of fun debating opinions on my own, no need to involve other people.

However, I'm not at work to read your mind and guess how you might interpret my words. I am at work to be an engineer and produce results, and I am an engineer because I love technology, not to make money and have a career. I also really don't want to antagonize people or prove my superiority or brag or retaliate, I legitimately just like solving problems to the best of the team's capabilities.

Because I don't have an intuitive sense of how to react in a given situation, extending some empathy my way helps a lot. And for that, it's worth communicating my point of view: that I am not being patronizing; I am just asking questions I think are necessary.

It's like asking a blind person to navigate around potholes. They might be able to do it, but it's also nice to understand they're not tripping on them on purpose.
It's likely that the abortion in this case would have been illegal in California. It's hard to say for sure, because California prohibits abortion after medical viability rather than setting a strict week limit, but it happened at week 23 when many fetuses are viable.
If someone is tweeting things you don't want to read then you unfollow them. That's how it's supposed to work. Everything is working here.
> the rate (y) of increase of inflation (x) was decreasing (z).

I guess first, does he mean that y, the rate at which x increases is going down by z? or that y is down, but z is not its rate?

And second, if you see inflation here as a derivative or not.
The success was incidental, but ultimately not trying didn't make him happy. That's the point, they're the words of a miserable man. I don't think misery scales with effort. It might with a sense of entitlement to monetary success or self-perception of failure for failing to reach arbitrary heights that have nothing to do with the art. The antidote is perspective not inaction.
You'd be surprised at how often "once in a lifetime" opportunities come around. Especially when it's the option to purchase something.

A lovely house on the water? This isn't your only chance to buy one. It's OK to pass on it now if things don't line up right.

I'm sorry, what? People drink a whole litre of soda with their lunch? I don't understand this on multiple levels. Who would buy this, why would anyone sell it, and should that even be legal?
Much better. But still slow. Check out the lightning network, and the link I posted above for an example of how fast lightning network transactions are.
You cannot put Karcher and quality in the same sentence. Had 3 of their pressure washers of different prices and they all had a premature death. Maybe their shop vacuums are fine, but pressure washers...
The logical extension of this would be that perhaps it's time to not spend as much effort on some approaches at cognitive training, but not to give up on possibility of the entire idea.
In companies prone to hiring and firing cycles I have seen managers keeping poor performers so that they have people to through under the bus when cuts come without looking like they make poor hiring decisions themselves. Point being, managers do not necessarily want to help team members get better and thereby upsetting the pecking order they have set up.

MMS are 50p for me, that too much to use in the same way SMS are used.
The cost of ingredients for sandwiches was 22-35%, depending on what sandwich it was. Of course, that's only for the ingredients themselves.

About 20% of revenue went to labor. I'm sure you're thinking, "But if you can make a sub in under a minute, and you pay $10/hr, shouldn't it be less?", but there's a lot of time spent not making sandwiches, such as cleaning, baking bread, and other food prep. Sure, the lettuce came pre-shredded in bags, olives and jalapenos are pre-sliced, but we had to slice the tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and green peppers.

And then of course, there's the cost of rent and utilities, plus franchising fees. Overall, our profit margin was under 10%.
The Pascal line, which includes Oberon (a systems language with garbage collection included), is usually termed "Wirthian".
That low cost part is the challenge. There are a pile of precision parts that are expensive because of this exact issue. It's just a different problem than EVs.
Indeed. If anything, the point of the article is that this goes both ways.
As a long time supporter of sortition since i studied the functioning of the Athenian Republic, I am pleasantly surprised by the positive comments under this thread.

It is an idea that is usually so quickly dismissed with "what if we pick a total idiot!?" - as if people optimizing for campaigning as opposed to governing couldn't end up being total idiots as well.
That’s really more of a function of build quality than anything fundamental. Since the linear slides and screws are the most expensive part - I think you’re adding unnecessary cost by going to four adjustable uprights
So is it a question of the work day or where you work from?
Oh god, it seems to essentially be packet tracer under the hood. It's a great tool, but I HATED using it in school.
I've worked with some really good engineers who came out of google, but I've worked with far more that were extremely arrogant but could not actually get anything done. One of the startups I worked at got an "advisor" from Google (as part of a startup program) that probably set us further back than it ever helped. Anytime this guy didn't understand something he just got extremely belligerent instead of actually trying to get the problem. In general his advice was ignored because it didn't make sense, and he never delivered on any of the promises he made. Not to harp on this guy, as he's just one example amongst many, but it's reached the point where if I see google engineers on the founding team for a company I typically won't consider working for them.

It turns out that being able to solve cute little puzzles while interviewing doesn't really help with systems level thinking.

The USSR was dominated by Russia, and they had the codes anyway. So I guess in the case of the USA it would matter how it broke apart.

Why would there be only two?
We can do all three of those today if we substitute "just a little bit of trust" for "distributed cryptography." So these applications do not a killer app make.
Start super basic, grow an herb or something like that in a cup of water. Go to a store and get one of the small potted herbs, take it out, clean the roots with water and stick it into a cup. This is super satisfying to see from a process stand point and a quick/easy win. After that start learning about different methods, and what each type of plant needs to thrive.

All "high abstractions" programing languages comes with the costs of computing such abstractions which comes from either: compiler complexity and/or CPU usage.

All programing languages will output the compiled code to CPU instructions. And the CPU is indeed "imperative" in nature. CPU works using simple logic gates.

At the moment with the current knowledge the best performance we can get is with low level programing languages that can directly talk to the CPU. That's why such low level programming languages have been created this way.

Yeah, things look bleak. However you need to realize that there ARE things you can do. Maybe not on the world stage, but in your own community. Sign up for a soup kitchen, clean up a street that is full of garbage, etc. Anything is better than being terminally online and doomscrolling. You will be happier for doing so, I guarantee you.

I buy a lot from Amazon, too much, and they are incredibly accurate. Almost always 2 day, sometimes same-day. Whenever they don't have an accurate date (third-party seller) it says so. Sometimes USPS does final delivery and they have been delayed once or twice.
