Even if that were true (which it’s not) then those points would be nullified by the fact that QEMU is exposing very little hardware (cores) and devices to the guest.
I don't think that's it. The issue is how to tell the screen to do a fast partial refresh at the expense of not refreshing anything else, which is what you want for handwriting. The app would need a way to tell the system what to partially refresh, i.e. some sort of nonstandard Android API.

The Boox tablets are touted for their ability to run third-party Android apps, so I highly doubt they would deliberately cripple them.

One of my ex-colleagues simply quit one day - no emails, no notice...nothing.

Another one of my ex-colleagues told me he was doing two jobs, but only working 8 hours in total per day, if that.

Then COVID layoffs happened. In the first case, the company simply turned off the logins - it was their way of laying people off (one laid off guy had been with the company for 15 years, another one had health issues and needed the insurance). In the second guy's case, they told him one Friday afternoon that it was his last day. We were in different teams at the time, but neither of us had any work, despite asking our respective managers for work daily. He got frustrated with having no work and took another job. Also, it took them three more months to give us the last two paychecks (for two months).

Both times, I thought my colleagues were nuts and were unethical - doing second job, not giving notice etc just felt ugly. Now I feel different. If employers treat employees like crap, why should any employee show any loyalty? When my colleague was laid off, he didn't care, as he was already had another job. I on the other hand, spent the next month looking for one.

In every contract job I worked, the first thing they say is "you can (and should) work more than 40 hours if we need you to, but you can only bill us for 40 hours".

If this is the treatment in a sophisticated, (relatively) high paid industry like software, I wonder how people are treated in service industries, retail etc. No wonder so many workers are striking and trying to unionize... Maybe it is time for software developers to unionize too

I think social media today makes you think you have many conditions, when in fact you just have normal behaviors. You don't need to have ADHD to get distracted, especially if your brain is trained to pay attention to a thing for 15 seconds max by said social media.

I'm using SWUpdate. I distribute an image with a [boot, rootfsA, rootfsB, data] partition scheme [1], and subsequent updates target the non-active rootfs partition. You can even theme SwUpdate's CSS [2] - nifty!

When I was assessing options for over-the-air updates, I evaluated everything between Mender.io (completely managed update service) to building a Coreos distro with OsTree-based patch system. So far Swupdate has felt like the right trade-off between customization and ease-of-use - plus the trail I've walked down feels well-traversed.

I am in the same situation at the moment and it is a bit sad. I've been trying to do more "solo" work because I'm the only constant in my musical journey. I envy bands that last for a long time because they can make it work, but I had to travel a lot and it made it impossible to have a band that would endure even the smallest of hiatus.

At the same time, every time I am with musicians that "made it" only talk about how miserable is to tour and how horrible it is to be constantly doing music for a living, so I feel lucky to make money out of software development. But I guess the stupid teenage dream still lives somewhere in me.

If it’s C like then the ExpressionStatement, umm…statement covers this; it’s how “if (foo=1) bar();” works (or leads to bugs depending on your point of view).

"I do not agree that it can not be described."

Numerous cases show that few people if any ever fully agree when they use normal language to describe the effects of music on their psyche. The issue is the same whether it's Mozart's music or that of others.

If AI generated music of comparable quality to that of Mozart's then I'm certain that I'd be equally satisfied.

By that I mean I've no special allegiance to Mozart the person per se (after all, he was a bit before my time so I never knew him personally). The same goes for Bach and others.

For a conventional malloc-type memory manager I can see this, you don't want to actually walk this list in most cases, you may be concurrent (in which case cache defeating is a feature) and so on.

In embedded my guess would be that you see linked lists because lots of embedded programmers are C programmers and that's what they learned to do, not because it's actually a good choice. I reckon if you look at C programs I wrote in the 1990s there are a lot of linked lists, and I can't defend any of those as the right solution.
There's a company in the UK that has already built multiple test reactors: https://www.tokamakenergy.co.uk/ The more the better of course, but I'm not sure why more people would need to know of them, it's not like we could buy shares. I like TE because they post regular updates on the construction of their reactors, though it's been a while since they've posted anything concrete.

Ask HN: App Distribution Through the Ages
It used to be that you distributed app binaries for installation on your OS. There were issues of memory safety, code security, viruses, piracy etc., with this approach.

The rise of open source, garbage-collected languages, language runtimes and centrally controlled appstores has become the norm.

Why haven't we had an evolution of better ways of linking/loading applications and policy enfocement that improves memory safety, user security and privacy without the rent-seeking central app store mechanisms? Something like docker or podman but at an application binary level that can enforce a stricter contract and policy enforcement (and maybe portable across OSes) using advancements in languages and systems such as refinement types, SMT solvers, proof systems etc.,

Is there any practically usable software that strives to do this?

Transfer learning to emulate artistic style [0] has been around for the better part of a decade and has had zero impact on artists’ livelihoods.

People consume art because they enjoy admiring the human talent that creates it, celebrating that some individuals are capable of extraordinary feats the vast majority of people are incapable of. It’s the same reason people watch sports—they enjoy admiring the top echelon of human physical ability. Very few people would watch Olympic Games performed by realistic androids.

I do agree that tools like this could eliminate mediocre graphic designers, or anyone else creating visual products that are so mundane that their viewers never bother to consider the artist. Corporate Memphis [1] designers’ days are numbered.

I'm not sure if it's design or just manufacture, but you're right that it's just for the prototype cans and not for production.

> More than just failing, though, I think the lesson is learning to tolerate failure, and learning from it so that you can try again.

This is the real trick.

From my own personal experience: I went through a period of intolerance to failure -- "failure can't happen again". hypervigiliance[0] is just as problematic as negligence.

Accepting that failure will happen has allowed me to unwind quite a bit, aided in finding more empathy for others, and changed my focus to managing failure and risk. Somewahat oddly I'd come to that spot in regards to managing software in production earlier than I had been able to apply it to my own psyche.

In a way, accepting that failure happens is an optimization technique. It affords the room for curiosity and forgiveness that is required in practice to have the greatest reduction in incidents or impacts of failure over time.

Stuff like this is what disabused me long ago of extreme forms of libertarianism.

It depends. I haven't been RIF'd before but would take a package if they were layoffs if I had the opportunity. I'd also use as much of unemployment as I could for as long as I could. Basically I'd be looking to maximize the amount of time I can go before I'd need another job.

Just because a company appears to be running out of cash doesn't necessarily mean you need to leave immediately if they do downsizing.

Wikipedia: «At the time of their manufacture, the gyroscopes were the most nearly spherical objects ever made (two gyroscopes still hold that record, but third place has been taken by the silicon spheres made by the Avogadro project). Approximately the size of ping pong balls, they were perfectly round to within forty atoms (less than 10 nm). If one of these spheres were scaled to the size of the Earth, the tallest mountains and deepest ocean trench would measure only 2.4 m (8 ft) high.»

I wonder how this compares to the sphericity of a neutron star.
The obvious one to me was how COVID came in 2020 and put the world into quarantine making and actual change in how people work remotely.

I was using an open source Android app once. The app was (deliberately) missing some simple features that I wanted. I was also interested in tinkering with Android development, so I proceeded to fork the app and hack in my feature (just to scratch my own itch).

As a further learning exercise, I decides to try and publish it on F-Droid, which I eventually managed to do (once again solely because I wanted to tinker with it). I made no attempt to promote the app and did not really expect anyone to use it. Since then it has not become a runaway success, but there must be some folks using it since the repo has received a number of stars/issues/PRs. We have continued to mature the app and build out more features. (Not at all what I had expected when I sat down to hack in the first change....)
I think it unfortunately boils down to externalized shame from MDs who can't admit they don't know something, mixed with old biases about neurotic women who make up ailments. Nearly all medical knowledge is based on rote memorization in med school and received tribal wisdom during residency. MDs aren't given the time and mental space to really sort out which things are true and which are superstition while they are in training.

Ideally the check from a knowledge perspective is CMEs and a separate group of medical researchers that inform med school curriculum, but there is no real check on the eye-rolling and "oh, you have to deal with one of THOSE" that they are exposed to during residency.

Finland has in some respects even more stringent employment laws than Sweden. If a company is laying off people, it needs to "negotiate" with employee representatives for a set amount of time. For small companies or small layoffs, the time is two weeks, but if there are at least 30 employees and the layoff affects at least 10 of them, the negotiation time is six weeks. Companies typically say at the outset which employee groups are affected but delay the decisions about individual employees to the end. I don't know if this is by law, but I suppose that saying sooner would be an opening for a union to claim that the negotiations were not done in good faith, and possibly sue the company.

Having been a potentially affected employee on two occasions and an employee representative on one of them, let me say that waiting six weeks for the decision is not fun for anyone.
This is just a pastebin, isn't it?

> If there was a standard for specifying which static library a binary has linked, this would be a non-issue.

You just gave a non-sequitur answer that rings as rational and true as stating that if the Pope would fly he would be an Airbus A330.

Limiting which static library you can link to means absolutely nothing to the problems created by static linking, and how shared libraries solve all of them without any meaningful tradeoff at all.
> I have been dreaming of someone cresting a system devoid of them.

Doesn’t that pretty much already exist now with immutable system builds, eg Fedora Silverblue, GUIX, NixOS? Each package pulls in its own dependencies with the specified version and config, and then no changes can be made once the system is built. Only way to update is to rebuild the system with the updated versions. Costs more disk space but that is cheap these days, and solves shared dependency hell.

It depends on the exit strategy. The technology will sometimes be scooped up by a big fish and take the key employees with it. When folk invest VC cash then they are sprinkling it amongst many projects that will have most typically fail. A Couple making it will give them the VC investment reward.
This is the death spiral all large organisations go into, they hire more people so that they can do more things, but then they spend increasing amounts of time in meetings or trying to work out how some other team’s system works, so productivity goes down, so more people are hired to counteract that.
For the last 7 years I noticed a strange trend in tech. The skill of management was not getting the people you needed, but instead turning down people you didn't.

Whenever ive been a manager for the last 7 years its the same. One day you get a ping for “can you onboard X”. It doesn't matter if you had work for one more person or not, thus projects are created for them to do something.
What do you mean? Adding odds defeats the purpose of the prediction since you can't confirm it to be true or not.

If I predict with 99.99% odds something will happen and it doesn't, my prediction could still have been correct as that fits in the remaining .01%. Whereas if I predict something will or won't happen after some time, you can confirm if it did or didn't happen after that time.

To my surprise hardly anybody outside, and even some inside, of finance can.

And yes, those tell you an aweful lot about your employer. And yes, part of me came to the same conclusion as your OH and the OP.
