I wonder how this will continue. Because it's not just so simple for these people, right ... phase 1:

1) software eats the world (this is far from complete, even in CAD)

which leads to phase 2:

2) a growing part of the knowledge of how industry X works (in this case construction, and of course fighter jet design) gets transferred into software (both into software companies, and directly into software) ... and forgotten by actual practitioners

3) software, to an extent, leaves those practitioners behind (first by needing much fewer of them), then it outright destroys them by demanding an ever greater share of the profits of industry X

4) autodesk ... please inform me what phase 4 is.
Another benefit of carbon steel woks is they come from the factory smooth.
There is also a difference between a dictionary used for spell checking and a dictionary for definitions: smaller (within reason) is better for the former, while larger is better for the latter.

(It is better to add an uncommon word to the user dictionary than it is to have a large number of uncommon words in the system dictionary since it is better to alert the user to a potentially misused word than to leave a misspelled word in place. Of course, this doesn't help in every case - as is evident with the common auto-correct snafus.)
Let's put your claim that Objective-S can be used to implement different architectural styles to the test: implement Prolog or some other logic programming language as an architecture!

I think the other architectures you've listed there aren't different enough from the typical call/return style of algorithm-centered languages, but logic programming certainly is.
I had never heard of a popup newsletter. What a wonderful idea and concept. Are there more popup newsletters launching anytime soonish?
Correct, that's what I meant by we could/should always have gone faster.

But, it's still good to acknowledge progress from "We know that we could roll out renewables today to 80% within a specific timescale and actually save money, lives and ecosystems doing so based on proper research" to 100%. It destroys even that tiny kernel of truth that they'd built a very big lie on top of.

You won't have a wal2 unless one of these connections generated it. The question is, can sqlite+wal2 write to a database while sqlite+wal is writing to it, without terrible things happening.

The answer kinda has to be 'yes' right? This is SQLite we're speculating about here.

I’m one of those who hates Zoom’s UX. They use dark patterns to try to trick you into installing rather than using the web client. And their web UI is… not great.

I’ve had better experiences as an attendee on other software. (I think one was Gotomeeting). Works flawlessly in the browser. No dark patterns like the way Zoom tries to trick you into downloading their malware.

And the interface was superior, in my opinion. No idea how good / bad the presenter UX is, though.
He was a hero of mine when I was in engineering school but i only see pictures of him mostly at the time and thought of him (probably due to his specs) as an archetypical geek. However, reading about him more and listening to his talks over time has really made me appreciated how well rounded, low drama, and high impact he is.
<Rant>

Is there any place in the world for a developer passionate about creating value for users and less so for fighting leadership-made fires (velocity! faster! quicker!)? I don't care to debate endlessly about velocity and processes. I just want decently thought of processes, to adapt to them and produce value.

As an IC I don't want to be involved in every step of the strategy, to keep a track of all my colleagues and how they work, to keep track of the tasks in the context of the epics and the milestones, and be blamed for when a strategy I was not part of doesn't work. I don't want to answer "how could you do this faster?" for myself because it's a horrible question to have to answer almost every week when you feel like you're burning out running. I don't want to answer "what is the priority of the task you are working on relative to our investor's desires?" without actually knowing who the investors are. I don't want to have feel impostor syndrome every start of the week and be in a team that gets ground down at the end of every week for the shit job we're all allegedly doing and where solutions are expected to come from us.

I just wanna get to work, have a clear roadmap that was developed by CxOs, leadership, consultants, investors, people with actual domain knowledge, deeply thinking about what needs to be done and in what order (in order to produce value for our customers). Then I want to create a technical road-map with my fellow engineers and engineering leaders that takes into account business requirements, technical know-how inside the team, planning and start working on that, in sprints, under the watchful supervision of ... supervisors that don't need me to answer questions that they should have had the answers to about a half a year ago.

I'm feeling my mind closing down to this kind of stuff. I don't know how much longer I can do this. I am now in a position where on Monday I get a pile of unthought of requirements, by Wednesday everything changes. Thursday evening a fire starts burning and if fix is not done by Friday morning, we are already behind and disappointing our bosses and investors. Doing the fix and dropping the current task, for urgency, will of course get the velocity / scope discussion. And the seemingly simple fix for the entire team is apparently that we should just increase velocity, but we're just too retarded to do that.

A number of years ago, I left the corporate world, as horrible as that was, there were some people that had answers. Since joining the startup world, perhaps due to bad luck, I've never had a proper answer. I always get a "I'll get back to you on this" and they never get back. If I push for it, it usually gets deprioritized even though it was considered top priority. If I push even more I have to start investigating it. Talk to stakeholders that are not aligned on answers, and it never seems to be about users. It's always growth and velocity.

I'll pass. Tmux shortcuts are in my muscle memory, unless they add native windows support.
Network cards have a factory-configured MAC address, which is the default one the adapter will use. As you figured out, the operating system is usually able to override this MAC address- but it has to redo this every time it initializes the adapter. It'll still have its original MAC on a different system.

However, in the article they did not have control over the operating system. So how do you change the MAC address then? Well, you change the factory-configured MAC built into the device - which requires using the factory configuration tool!
Windows used to have an almost unknown "transactional file system API" that sounds similar to what you're asking for. I think it was recently deprecated, but I don't know why, or what the history of this API is. Might be interesting to read up on it!

True, but worth noting that they usually also come with machine oil on them. It’s very important to correctly clean and season before first use, same as with cast iron.
Carbon steel wok is only viable on a powerful gas stove. Right now where I live there is a campaign to get rid of gas stoves. And the existing ones are far, far from being powerful enough to use wok properly.
Agreed, im quite tired of HN commenters having the gall to question the basis for my half baked stances and strongly held gut feelings.
I wonder if such an API would require hardware support in order to remain performant?
It would be rather funny if Satoshi did that. Though having faketoshi out there probably increases the deniability.

In general I find that cast iron is very overrated.

> Here's a list of myths about cast iron skillets: (...) You can't cook with acidic foods (e.g. tomatoes) because it'll destroy the seasoning

You might not destroy the seasoning but you will get metallic tastes in your food. I don't get why anyone would pick cast iron over stainless steel for an acidic sauce that needs to be cooked for a longer period of time.

Also not mentioned downside of cast iron - you need to dry it perfectly every time or it rusts very easily.

Stainless steel has better heat retention and distribution, doesn't react with acidic foods, is easier to clean, and never rusts. Nonstick pans are better at being nonstick than cast iron. So cast iron ends up being second best for most use cases but the cult around it is certainly strong. (And I admit that they do kind of look cool).

Cast iron = the Python of cooking pans.
Most game dev is OOP because most games are C++ for performance and graphics, not because of reasoning.
I don't know how to feel about this. While it seems like a great idea, looking at the front page I feel like looking at a door in a vandalized public toilet. Too much going on with barely any explanation, can't easily tell (at least at first) what is grouped with what, the sidebar (on mobile) being present at all times is a serious waste of space.
> In 2000-2006 I implemented garbage collectors in C on Linux. I used Emacs and GDB, and likely also DDD and GDB from within Emacs. I don't think there was anything better back then.

Around 2003-2004 or so i used Anjuta on Linux which provided a Visual Studio-like environment with integrated debugger, C++ code completion, project management, etc. I used it for all my C and C++ development as it was both fast and featureful.

Sadly the developers decided to rewrite some core part (probably my first brush with the GNOME approach to software engineering) and the rewrite was so buggy that crashed pretty much all the time, forcing me to move elsewhere.
Yes could, but why? Why when any topic comes up “Blockchain zomg!!!!111”?

I used to be real hardcore into bitcoin, around the $1-10 range. You people need to give it up already and quit annoying the rest of us by trying to force fit an insanely inefficient technology into every aspect of life.

“Preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
Programming is no more a creative field than other branches of engineering or the sciences--and in fact many white collar professional jobs. The sort of exceptionalism that gets attached to software is pretty ridiculous.

And yes there are agencies and consultants for all sorts of specialized work on a project basis. But that's not the majority of software and I'd guess the majority of programmers/software engineers don't want to be constantly looking for work especially if demand lets up.

Obviously, some things like games lend themselves to more of a project-based approach to staffing than other things do. (And certain other engineering projects do as well.)

I've watched Marcel's efforts with admiration for his commitment for a long time.

I looked at this and browsed some of the examples, and something clicked for me finally. I did a good solid 20 years of dedicated Smalltalk. When I started doing Objective-C, I was glad I could send messages, but noticed a number of differences. One of the things that you don't see just comparing syntax between Smalltalk and Objective-C is some of the deeper differences. Objective-S, like Objective-C, has type annotations. In ObjectiveC, there is a preference for void return types. Smalltalk, has no annotations, but all functions methods return. If you don't specifically return something from a method, self is the implicit return type. For any closure, it's always the last value of the expressions. It made cascading messages really easy, because methods tended to return the thing you wanted most of the time. When I started doing Objective-C, I commented on this lack of object return. I don't recall what the answers were, but it was clear that ship had sailed. :)

Since then, as I've sailed with Swift and Kotlin and Python, it's clear that that is the dominant pattern. Python, which doesn't have types, still returns None when nothing is specified. And then last year, I did some work on Erlang/Elixir. Like Smalltalk, all functions return something. You can return nil if you want, but you have to make the effort to do so. Otherwise, you just get the result of the last expression. And I loved it. It makes it so you can compose functional chains really easy and idiomatic.

It's led me to wonder why any language that wants to be more "functional" has a Void return type. And once again impressed that Smalltalk, for all of its OOness, is really quite functional in some ways. Functional programming, is of course, many things. But one of them is obviously the good old f(x) -> y thing we learn in high school. Functions take input, and return output. A function that returns nothing, isn't that useful. But we also have computerese "functions" that are more "subroutines". An imperative sequence of steps designed to produce a certain side effect. When one makes a Void function, it seems one is essentially saying "not interested in functional here, just want side effects." I'm not as opposed to side effect programming as some, but I guess I prefer the approach like Smalltalk and Elixir which strongly encourages returns of some value (even if ignored) so that one can be simultaneously functional and side-affecty.

I'm disappointed that Objective-S didn't embrace the no-such-thing-as-a-void-return philosophy of Smalltalk, even while lifting so much from Smalltalk.
Virtually every type of pan comes in carbon steel for affordable prices from cookware wholesalers. They've been life changing for me, especially combined with an induction cooker.

Not to endorse any specific company, but a Thermalloy 8-inch pan is available for approximately $20 USD.
The part of the story that’s missing is that at the time these streetcar lines were built, the mass adoption of automobiles was about to start. Within a decade or two cars were everywhere, and the streetcars were no longer needed.

Edit: Wikipedia says that the first line of the Los Angeles Railway opened in 1897 [1]. The Ford Model T was introduced in 1908 [2].

I spent a few weeks in Japan and it was the safest I've probably ever felt.

Interestingly though there was one night I went out and my friend living in that city was glad I didn't get harassed for being gaijin - apparently the area I went out in is notorious for people being rough on foreigners (somewhere in Fukuoka close to 10 years ago)
I'm in the neuroscience (mostly EEG analysis), so my experience may not fit into economics field. I went from MATLAB only (and Stata for statistical analysis), through R (liked it a lot) and Python, to Julia-only data processing and analysis pipeline (rarely calling R for some required functions). To me Julia is the future of scientific computing, especially for current and ex MATLAB users.
> And selfish individuals that don't want to pay a carbon tax

There's research on this that suggests a majority of people want a carbon tax, and the ones that don't have primarily been convinced that it wouldn't work, not that it would cost them more.

And can you guess who has been telling them those lies?

Similarly, democracies are full of people who want to fix the problem, but they've been bombarded with propaganda to confuse matters, but still progress has been made.

I partially disagree. It is true that [Europe] does need to ramp up/diversify fossil fuel right now to prevent disaster as Russia closes the tap. But I think there's a feeling at the moment that this fossil fuels thing is not something that is going to last; and that Europe has a strategic need to divest itself of fossil fuels as quickly as possible.
Everyone already has a copy of everything, so what's one more copy?
I actually just moved to a house with an all-electric range. We use the wok too often for that, so grabbed a butane burner for ~$50 on Amazon. Can also find them at camping supply stores.

The one we got is 15,000 BTU, which is frankly too much. You can find 10,000 or 12,000 BTU options for cheaper, and will probably get some more fine grained control out of it.

The butane lasts for quite a while in it for wok use as well, since you’re generally only cooking for a few minutes at a time.
Insane. And the cars in question have no immobilizer, so the process is just finding a 2021 or older Kia/Hyundai of a certain model, one with a physical key instead of a pushbutton. Then you just rip apart the steering column and turn the ignition cylinder. I was confused because a USB cable was involved, but it's apparently only because it slides nicely over the mechanism to help you turn it, as opposed to having to use needlenose pliers or similar.

So there's no "hack" really, just destroying the lock cylinder.

While I'm inclined to agree with you because everything you are saying is logical it doesn't pan out when I consider the history of it. If "Steamboat Willie" is not so important, then why were such herculean efforts pulled out to extend copyright?

I've lived basically my whole adult life dealing with this. Works never entering the public domain because of this copyright extension nonsense. Even college professors seem to think copyright is eternal. I had to argue with one that no, I do not need a textbook for a 19th century work. I can just read it on project Gutenberg or anywhere I want.
I did this for a week in Paris (late 2019, there was a strike and the metro had like 2 functional lines). In the afternoon of Christmas Eve got a yen to go to Montmarte, grabbed a scooter near Etoile and in short order got to experience the C.E. mass at Sacré-Cœur. The enhanced mobility is amazing, and its a great way to explore various alleys and neighborhoods. Frankly I was pleasantly surprised at how the Paris drivers coexisted with us on scooters. I felt perfectly safe.

We have energy shortage right now, because a lot of nuclear power plants, especially the French, are powered down for lack of heating. This is why Germany has so far produced an extra 20TWh hours of electricity this year, also compensating for the nuclear power plants down for maintenance.

There is no shortage of electricity in Germany and energy is not rationed.

However, due to the need of filling gas stores till the winter, the government strongly campaigns on saving energy, especially any use of gas. There might be rationing of gas, if Germany fails to refill the gas storage (they are at over 70% right now) and if Russia cuts its delivery entirely. That doesn't mean there is a shortage of electricity.
Ask HN: I don't want to be a product designer anymore. What is my path forward?
A colleague of mine asks this question.
He is a very capable Product Designer (16 years of practice), with HTML/CSS/JS knowledge and some Product Management roles behind him.

He is frustrated with the current state of Design Systems complexity and mismanagement, has no interest in conducting interviews or any form of UX research.

In his words: I don't understand why we have to spend our time polishing Figma components, conduct useless meetings and component reviews instead of building real products trough code and UI libraries.

What are his options, according to the audience of HN.
What front end dev resources and experiences you can share for him?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Correction. I have made a mistake, not to include JS in his skill set.

I’m still using an iPhone X, which I bought new, so that’s almost 5 years. I will be getting the iPhone 14 when it comes out next month and the upgrade definitely won’t be trivial! You don’t need to buy a new phone every 2 years and I believe it’s worth spending a bit more, but less frequently on a phone that lasts.
Learners need projects they care about, project they feel ownership about. Most students aren't motivated to do some standard project. In formal education, we make them care about these standard projects by giving credit. But that sort of extrinsic motivation isn't that helpful for deep learning, I've found. It'd be better if a student has a problem they truly care about, somehow. Unfortunately, turning their need into a workable project isn't as easy as you'd hope.

It's a very good point, the room and speakers, and even the variation in your ears through the day and day to day, probably have far more impact on what you hear than the recording.

OTOH perhaps we need a new format, where you can mix the audio locally, rather than just getting whatever the audio engineer decides.
The price point of carbon steel pans is about the same as cast iron? My first exposure to carbon steel was a link someone posted out here on HN and the linked pans were $100's (compared to cast iron which are $10's). Maybe I just looked at a very expensive sample..

There are proliferation resistant design that can have quite good economics. You don't need breeders everywhere.

Additionally, a Thorium breeder will produce U-233 but it will be contaminated with U-232 making it a really unpractical material for nuclear bombs. And no nation has used it for that reason.

In addition other elements produced make it absolutely trivial to measure and track. These nations could sign agreements of IEAE supervision and should anything happen the operator country can basically destroy the reactor with the push of a button.

Reactors can also be off-shore, considering that 100s of millions of people in places like Indoneasia live on the coast.

All in all, nations that really want nuclear reactors will mostly likely obtain it threw traditional means.
