> Meeting these constraints typically involves creative use of parser generators like Bison or requires the developer to create a parser from scratch - Which unfortunately many modern languages like Rust itself have had to end up doing

This seems like a very useful project for people writing IDEs, but I'm not sure the convenience features are enough to offset the simplicity and flexibility of writing your on parser.

That's not my point; my point is that any argument which criticizes anything is likely to antagonize people. It's also not my impression that Rushdie "likes offending people"; he wrote a fictional novel and some people took issue with what seem fairly minor points to me and had a massive hissy fit over that (partly motivated for political reasons), but I don't know the man.

Yes.

Things have context. Without that context you have no real idea what you are agreeing with or supporting. If someone is intentionally hiding that context then it's probably for a bad reason.
The EULA of this HN comment requires you to deposit $2 in my bank account upon reading. Why are you ignoring my wishes?
I think giving fake reasons, which is just systematizing and publishing dishonesty in the form of your calendar, is a bad strategy long term and could potentially have a serious impact on your reputation.

A generic, nondescript "Do Not Book" should be sufficient. If you feel the need to make up fake meeting titles then there is some broader issue that should be addressed.

Yep, those articles have been discredited.

The labor market has been tight! There was a wave of job changes back a year ago -- but to be clear, those were not people who were leaving the labor force, they were people who got new, better jobs.

That wave is definitively over in tech, and has been for about four to six months. The labor market in tech is slacker than it has been in a decade: it's harder now to get a new job in tech than it has been in the duration of many people's careers. And since people are not leaving the labor force, the quitting (to take another job) stuff is now much diminished.

This does not mean, of course, that there are not still people getting hired or people changing jobs -- just much less than before.
Before looking I'm going to guess "Rust" is the top word.
People keep saying that, but of the systems I've encountered that use CMake they've worked the most predictably, as opposed to autotools, meson, scons, bazel, or heavenforbid ./build.sh

*WRITING* CMake is the 11th circle of hell, but CLion is gradually getting more support for it because they use(d?) it as the first-class project definition when it launched

I would pay good money for CMake 4.x to switch to skylark/starlark
Gosling started more abstractly based on virtual machines he had built in the past for some pretty bizarre hardware. This was to be general-purpose.

Set top boxes were a very early use case. It coincided with the boom of these types of systems that were growing past the traditional “embedded” boundaries. Gosling and the team were working on that when it was still Oak and hadn’t been branded.

There’s an amazing video of him telling the story. I think it’s on YouTube.

This isn't 'the place the moon hit', it's material from the colliding object (Theia) that has been added to the Earth's mantle. The mantle convects, and this material is a little more dense, and has pooled up at the bottom of the mantle, but because the mantle convects (the material circulates) there is no real reason to believe that these bodies are at the location of collision, especially considering that much of the mantle (and the parts of Theia that stayed behind) would have been reduced to flying bits of lava in orbit around the core, before coalescing.

I can see how it's a scare tactic in general.

You try and scare the unproductive people into being more productive.

And you try and scare the productive people into staying by implying that the market may not be all that hot outside. Or whatever. Scare tactics don't exactly rely on rational thinking.

Also, you are reclaiming the work being done by the fired. That work can be reassigned to the people not fired. And hopefully, those people will be too busy to quit.
That's beautiful, not awful

It even sounds absurd. With this kind of attitude, you'll end up having to do your own roofing. Self-respecting men don't work for free.

For prospective software employees: stop granting hiring managers absurd entitlements - do not work for free. This industry is not special and it needs to stop pretending like it is.

I appreciate you updating your comment with an informed update that contradicted your initial argument. When a consumer chemical is discovered to be harmful, there's a tendency from companies to ask their research chemists to come up with a new chemical that shares the same beneficial properties but without the baggage of the provably dangerous chemical. There's a VERY good chance that the new chemical simply hasn't been studied enough and that long term study will show comparable biological properties (harm).

I personally don't trust 'BPA-free' plastics for this reason. And try as much as I can to use steel/glass containers for liquids. At this point, I'm assuming anything 'teflon-like' will have negative impact on humans, until it has been proven safe in long term studies. You don't want to be an early adopter for industrial chemicals.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, from various discussions with the VP of my department, it's become clear to me that execs and other higher-ups have very... fantastical ideas, to put it lightly, about what actually happens in their employees' daily lives, and how their policies will affect those workers.

I've had my own fantasies recently about telling the execs to spend two weeks sitting in the office between us devs and taking notes about what actually happens, to use as reference material when discussing policy changes. But then I realize that the very idea of requiring evidence to support one's decisions is what separates the lowly devs like me from the big-shot execs with name plaques on their office desk and a few extra zeroes on their paycheck deposits. Which is... quite depressing when you consider we're a STEM field, so evidence and logic should matter throughout our hierarchy, but then again, capitalism and corporatocracy have perverse incentives, I guess.

Yeah, I feel this, and, it hurts. A lot.

Others in your life may say they support your emphasis on spiritual growth, but what if that entails being passed up for a promotion, and, ergo, a raise? Most families would appreciate an extra $1k a month. Not every situation is either-or, but you quickly get a sense for what pragmatism means to people.

Often, it means comfort.

I hope you find the courage to continue to pursue meaning. It is good, as you say. Me, I made a bit of a deal with myself to make it a very high priority in my life when it is lacking. When necessary, meaning goes into the non-negotiable bucket.

> In my view, neither the hardcore relativists nor the hardcore universalists are right.

I don't remember the exact phrasing, but I believe the relevant quote goes something like:

"The strong version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is obviously false to anyone who's ever felt the need to coin a new term to describe something they didn't previously have words for.

The weak version of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is obviously true to anyone who's ever felt the need to coin a new term to describe something they didn't previously have words for."

(In the context of a formulation where the strong version is that language limitations make certain things impossible to think or express, and the weak version is that language limitations just make certain things difficult or inconvenient to think or express.)
Unless you need commercial support from Oracle, I just don't see a reason to run MySQL over MariaDB these days.

MariaDB has been a drop-in turn-key replacement for us in every case... the MySQL drivers even work with MariaDB as the backend.

Nearly everything (perhaps everything) MySQL does, MariaDB has or has had long before MySQL got around to it. Nearly all (perhaps all) commands work exactly the same, which means any support doc or query you might want to run can operate on both without issue. You can even get commercial support for MariaDB from several companies including the very organization that makes it.

Not to mention, most of the original MySQL team works on MariaDB.

So, other than the folks that don't know or don't care about the history... why would someone go out of their way to choose MySQL these days? Is this the "OpenOffice" effect perhaps?

The thing you need to be careful with using a cast iron pan is to not go too high heat. Since they can withstand a higher heat from other pans there is a risk when doing so as it creates a carcinogenic compound.

There's some concern that because cast-iron pans can sustain high heat, they may produce chemicals known as heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are linked to an increased risk of cancer.
These chemicals form when meat, including beef, pork, fish and chicken, are cooked using high-temperature cooking techniques, like pan-frying and grilling over an open flame, according to the National Cancer Institute.

Not sure how much the increased risk is but just something to consider.
Do you use a gas powered stove? My friends won't stop sending me links to articles detailing the cancer causing bad stuff in the natural gas stoves :o

If not, are there good electric stoves that work with hard cast iron pans?

I have seen the mess heavy cookware creates on those glass top cooktops - old style coils seems to be best for those.
> amn't

Amn't is neither standard nor historically supported; the word naturally developed into the modern word ain't, which is stigmatized.

Standard English essentially requires "I'm not" instead. Where avoiding the inflectional form is impossible, the standard awkwardly provides first-person aren't.

> willn't

Not sure what you were thinking here; there is a negative form of will, but it's won't.

> shalln't

And this is shan't.
> It’s a pseudo-record i.e. it’s not officially recognized by any RFC afaik.

It goes beyond that -- "ALIAS" isn't a DNS record at all; it does not exist as an entity within the DNS protocol. It's a directive used by some DNS servers (primarily at large providers) which causes the DNS server to synthesize A/AAAA records.

It maybe is on a theoretical level, but theoretical purity doesn't exist in the world - I think. At least we tried a bunch of times and it never worked so far. So, you end up with complex situations like this: not tolerating the intolerant, to sustain tolerance on the long term. Being very selectively violent, in order to keep peace. Restrict some freedoms, to enable wider freedoms. And so on.
Bret actually has an entire thread on this in Twitter (https://twitter.com/BretDevereaux/status/1513255197597966341), responding to someone calling him "the orc logistics guy".

The tl;dr is basically that part of an academic's job is to educate not just the professionals but also the lay public. By using fantasy and other pop culture works, he's introducing pretty important military history and theory concepts to those who wouldn't otherwise attempt to wade into it--and if they enjoy it, they might come back for some more pressing and serious can't-sugarcoat-this topics such as the implications of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In general, I would say that academics all too commonly forget the need to engage with people outside of their narrow disciplines, and in doing so, you can cede the field to engaging writers who are way out of their depths and horribly wrong about what they are writing (e.g., Jared Diamond).

What're you referring to?
The attitude of high-pressure tactics is deeply baked into American sales culture. It's conventional wisdom that you need high commissions, and high commissions necessarily entail high stress; you can't have "I can make $20,000 from the right deal" without "I could lose $20,000 if anything goes wrong". So sales organizations will often be brutally honest (and frankly mean) in ways that, you're right, would be a very bad idea in any other context.
I don't actually know if we're in a downturn proper. At most people salaries offered might be less aggressive... but someone leaving for a more fulfilling job and are a high performer from Google probably don't need to worry about being paid their worth even in a weak job market.
This "when do you get actual work done" bugs me sometimes. It's true to some extent, but sometimes a bunch of engineers in a room together get a lot of work done. Sometimes even a lot more than if they each did their own thing, come together, and discover that it doesn't fit together.

Not all meetings are like that, yeah, and there's a limit, but meetings not being "actual work" is not generally true.

Also, since pandemic times, I've had it a few times that people were circling via chat or email on a topic forever, and a quick 15 minute online meeting (independently of whether the camera was on) resolved it immediately.
Yes,

Team of 5 and 1 person is coasting. Get rid of the 1 and you just reduced burn by 20%.

You lose the output of the coasting team member, but that's small to begin with by the scenario's setup.

If you believe coasting is contagious (why am I working so hard when clearly I don't have to like this other person), you could potentially see a boost in output.

Of course, this needs to be weighed against the risk of everyone being upset and leaving after such a decision, but in this market, that risk may be mitigated.

PS. It's really hard to make specific statements about vague hypothetical scenarios :)

> No matter if a movie leaves a streaming service or if the digital rights change in the future, a physical disk makes the content permanently available.

Well, isn't that ironic. Sure, the content is "permanently available" in a technical sense, but it'll hinge on the permanent availability of playback devices deemed suitable by the DRM.
When I was a kid and tried to figure out why this fare/penalty existed, I guessed it was to compensate for people who traveled somewhere to pick up an item from a friend who'd meet them at the station and hand it through the gate to them, and then they'd go back home, all without leaving the station. It all seemed like an intricate solution to a small problem.
AWS EBS volumes used by a PVC can be expanded without downtime by increasing the request on the PVC. The only prerequisite is that the StorageClass has allowVolumeExpansion=true

I remember this royally backfired with Microsoft in '08 and '09. They did some rounds of layoffs, froze raises, etc. whereas all the other major tech companies held off on doing the same. There was _massive_ attrition and Balmer had to do multiple emergency pay bumps to the entire company's engineering roles to keep people from jumping ship in the following years.

Interesting; same root as Italian 'cantare'.
I've worked on a few projects that apply this pattern of using a Makefile to define and run imperative commands. A few people develop the pattern independently, then it gets proliferated through the company as part of the boilerplate into new repositories. It's not a terrible pattern, it's just a bit strange.

For many junior colleagues, this pattern is the first time they've ever encountered make -- hijacked as some kind of imperative command runner.

It's quite rare to run into someone who is aware that make can be used to define rules for producing files from other files.

I find it all a bit odd. Of course, no-one is born knowing about middle-aged build tools.

Also, it's possible (if unusual) to get value out of traveling within the BART system.

For example, suppose you have a nice camera you want to sell to a friend. They live in Millbrae and commute to SF by BART. You live in north San Jose.

So you agree to meet them on their way home from work, at 6pm right outside the Powell Street station. That's $16.80 for your Berryessa to Powell Street round trip.

But what if you met inside the station instead? For your purposes, that's fine too. You can hand them the camera in either place. Should that trip be free because you enter and leave the BART system at Berryessa? I would say no, because getting to SF was valuable to you, plus you used a seat on two BART trains.

Getting rid of those types will increase productivity. You'll get the same work done with less people. Well, probably more, because you won't have guys pretending to do their work and then not actually producing anything.
