they can be sued for this right? i'm surprised that no one has done this already. this is life and death situation from a trillion dollar company, how are they still getting away with this is just amazing.

Like where's the ticket sitting on the jira board right now? what priority is it? does the product team know about this and just ignores it? they should be held accountable
It is incredibly odd tesla decided to invest in this level of engineering, even perfect hardware is like, 1/5th the battle. Now you get to stand up the entire software stack, make it performant, and hope you can compete with whatever Nvidia has in the pipeline.
https://test.plink.in was listed as the canonical URL, and our software uses those when it finds them. I've reverted that now. Thanks!
I really like that about it too. I swipe all negative, political or polished content away and my feed feels more enjoyable than any other content before. No endless negative emotion trigger baits like Twitter/FB or overpolished bullshit world like Instagram. It delivers the weird and wonderful world that I like.

What would the point of showing "abnormally wet" be?
There are plenty of examples of reddit doing the same to subreddits they didn't agree with. Take /r/the_donald for example. They cheered for "their guy" non-stop for years, but were not doing anything illegal or morally unsavory. Low and behold, out of the blue a few accounts posted threats against police officers (the sub overwhelmingly espousing "Blue Lives Matter" at the time amongst the backdrop of other subs espousing "Black Lives Matter") and that was enough to close the sub down.

If you set the bar low enough, it doesn't matter what the platform's content is oriented towards, and while HackerNews may not be in the firing line right now, who's to say that it will forever remain off the radar? If we are fine setting the bar towards a platform being responsible for all user generated content in real-time, just know that this puts niche communities like HN at-risk.

> I wasn't responding to all of the comments. I was responding to you.

Yeah. Responding back to point out the fact why 'Linux is a terrible desktop' hence the reason why even the majority of respondents here use a Windows (with WSL) or macOS desktop do to development ON it and NOT doing a clean install of a full Linux distro to just target Linux. That is the point of the 'Ask HN' question here.

> WSL is neat, but it's not any more advanced than what Chromebooks have had for years. Hell, it's barely more impressive than MacOS' POSIX compliance.

Yet when asked here, I see the majority of people here not interested in running desktop Linux distros as their dev environment and instead are using either MacBooks (running macOS) or using a typical Windows desktop.

With WSL2 there is little to no configuration or installation that requires an involved setup contraption that you have just described. No need for a clean install and they can keep their Windows desktop, run, develop their Windows desktop apps / games without fail or any migration of existing files. So even with the additional use cases you mentioned:

> But you're right, writing Fart Simulator for iOS is where all the real money is. I'll defer to your opinion rather than the thousands of people on this very site making money off headless Linux servers.

> Sure, if they don't want to write system services, self-hosted websites...

Either way, they are still 'targeting' Linux through the comfort of their Windows (WSL2) and macOS desktop environment. As I said before, with WSL2, there is ZERO NEED for a clean install of a Linux distro to even test any of that. macOS already has the sufficient environment to do the same use-cases you mentioned anyway, hence why installing Desktop Linux wasn't even mentioned and was just ruled out.

> They should focus on the actual breadwinners, like getting their 70% from the App Store.

Yeah, even with both uses no developer should be wasting time troubleshooting and playing around with their Linux desktop because the desktop environment crashed or Wayland failed to run an app or some other cryptic Linux Desktop issue.

My point still stands: 'If they cannot use the desktop then it is pointless to recommend it as a 'developer-friendly environment' or even begin clean installing it just for a worse desktop experience for the developer' and it also includes both Linux as a general target and for desktop GUI apps where it is always targeted last hence as you already admitted that it is 'a terrible desktop' which explains why little to no normal users are using it AND developers here are still recommending either 'macOS' or 'Windows' for their dev environment.

The only item for equity is “When is my next equity vest?”, but there are a lot more issues to worry about, which are highly dependent on your circumstances and the specifics for the type of equity.

For example, for the typical 3 month limit on exercising options after quitting there can be heinous issues associated with decisions on converting the options to shares (cash payment, taxation, valuation, finding purchaser, illiquidity).
I was suddenly having fantasies about pushing my boss through a plate glass window. I quit THAT day.

The triggering incident was being told that I was on corrective action because I refused to falsify technical documentation at the request of a client. Oh, did I mention that this consulting company had issued a press release when they hired me because I was a well known expert in the field?

Externally: he’s an expert! Internally: bow and obey!

I started my own company and have been my own boss for the last 23 years.

Sorry I don't have any special tricks to share :/. I feel at this point it would probably be better to rip the game world from the game and artificially make it feel like a panorama when viewing and moving.

Also this would probably imply heavy use of three.js if I wanted to offer that in the browser.
For others looking for the medically pertinent details, from what I can tell the most consequential mistakes (at least the ones being emphasized in the article) were:

- failure to use a sepsis severity scoring system to determine need for higher level of care

- failure to order an unnamed test to determine severity of infection (I assume lactic acid?)

- failure to move to a higher level of care (ICU) earlier in the course of care

It appears that the patient was on (unspecified) antibiotics from a fairly early point in the course of care. I may have missed it being spelled out more explicitly, but it sounds like the patient died from traumatic pancreatitis -> necrotizing pancreatitis.

Which scenario are we talking about here? Is it:

You live in a poor country making $50k-$100k, and the US devs are making $100-200k.

You live in a poor country and get paid sub $30-50k, and US gets paid $100k+?

I used to live in Ecuador, and the “official” min wage monthly is ~$300USD/mo. So essentially you can hire a full time nanny, cook, etc for sub $1200 easy.

That’s never going to happen in the US with less than $400k+.

So in US 150k+ is top 20% of income or there abouts. But in a random poor country, $100k+ is probably top 0.01%, right? What am I missing here?

Also what is your skill level and could you quickly replace this job with another at the same or higher rate?

Lastly, if you really want to move, there’s 30+ countries you could move to in the interim if you really wanted out of your country. Canada is relatively simple, there’s tons of Caribbean islands that can grant you citizenship for sub $200k, which you can then use to travel freely without visa restrictions globally. Same with EU countries like Malta etc.

The article I linked has as many citations of primary sources as you could ever want.

The parent comment seeks to poison the well by casting doubt on the claims that KF is a hate site and pushed people to suicide. It is well-documented and there is no disputing it. Instead of "begging the question", just perform a quick Google search. That way you can:

1. Inform yourself.
2. Not cast a shadow of doubt on easily provable claims.
Great article, so much complexity and it doesn't even really cover USB power delivery and proprietary extensions like Quick Charge[0].

Those aren’t far off from welfare-heavy EU rates.

40% marginal rate starting at 50,000GBP in the UK.

The EU can afford high public spending because it has high taxes, including on the middle class.
There is no commercial interest in setting up a new decentralized system, because there is no money in it. And you’d have to get buy-in from all major tech companies for something like that to even remotely have a chance to replace email. Everything else already exists in the vein of Slack, Matrix, iMessage, Line, WeChat, and the like.
Why not just retire?
> lack of tests will inevitably result in a slowdown

This is exactly the mindset I'm talking about. Lack of which tests? Manual? Unit? Functional? Integration? End-to-end? Doesn't matter, right? All tests have zero cost, the more the merrier.

And when exactly does the slowdown happen, on day one? Or maybe some time in the future? Do we have a way to tell when exactly should we write tests, how many, and which ones? Most of the time the mindset is "we don't have tests, therefore we need tests". Cargo cult at it's finest.

> Most tests written by people working on the product will of some baseline level of quality

Not in my experience. Tests are often introduced before you have a good understanding of the domain (hello TDD). Epitome of that is hiring junior engineers, realizing you don't want to assign any real work to them, and forcing them to write tests.

> It is much easier to fix bad test

Typically bad tests should not be fixed, they should be thrown away. But pretty much every company sucks at deleting bad tests, because there's the illusion of value they provide.
But is it Web Scale?
Too much M$ BS. Not just windoze, but azure, teams, outlook... Who wants to work with that shit?
Last I checked, python support is editor-only.

I believe Verse is made by a small team who previously worked on a game-specific scripting language called Skookum script. I used it maybe a decade ago so my memory is hazy but I think you are correct, it didn't necessarily have much relation to Python. I remember it having some unique game-specific async constructs. I'm certainly looking forward to trying it out!
> the company would be foolish to let me leave

One thing I've learned is that companies are extremely foolish when it comes to compensation and attrition.

I've been debating whether to do this myself (throw in the towel on mail). I am getting tired of fighting all the assorted battles.

This said, my concern is that the big players seem like they could, at a whim, drop you as a customer, with no recourse. This is what is giving me pause going to the big providers.

I've been looking at mail distributions like Mail-in-a-box, and modoba as an intermediate, though none of them seem to be great. Basically I don't want to stitch together several different opinionated tools into a working mail system anymore.

This toy project already gives a nice example of something Rust delivered that the author found to be a huge pain in C++: "C++ has one big flaw in Unreal. You can easily crash the editor, either by triggering an assert or accessing a nullptr." but "if you ever unwrap an Option::None or do out of bounds access, unreal-rust will simply catch the panic, exit play mode and log the error to the console. It will never crash the editor."
Except, that minerA can't build off block B1 because it has transactions in it that it doesn't agree with. minerB just has to keep trying to find blocks to put the censored transactions into, while minerA is fighting against the rest of the miners to outpace them. This only really becomes possible at much higher thresholds, e.g. 70/30. Meanwhile, the community will see what is happening and steps may be taken to either soft-fork or hard-fork the bad actors off the network.
I also came to the same conclusions 8 years ago after hosting my own email for more than 2 decades. You just can't do it on your own anymore. There are some proposals how to fix this, but I think a more sane approach is whole email system overhaul/replacement with something better. Many people are thinking about this and come up with good ideas. I hope eventually one of them will get enough traction to replace our frankly outdated email technology.
It will feel good for about 3 minutes and then you'll regret it.

You haven't been communicating well enough. If the client thinks it is easy, she is just begging you for comprehensive flow charts and diagrams (produced at $$$ per hour). Incidentally, they will also help you clarify your thoughts and designs :)

I had the idea to build some logic gates and simple adders with lasers as a toy project.

I started doing some research and, to my delight, there’s a whole range of modes of computation I never considered.
Am I the only one who thinks it's lame that nothing sounds bad? Makes me feel like I'm playing with a children's toy. I don't feel like I've done something interesting by playing in tune with others since it's all in tune... it restricts possibilities drastically

The event that I described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31933566

> CEO of my current company pitched partnering with a consultancy to fill our resource needs (can’t hire anyone). During an org wide meeting, he promised that this wasn’t going to result in layoffs. That we needed to work with them so that they could help. Thus ensued 6 weeks of helping them learn our systems and business processes in a process, that in hindsight, felt like knowledge transferring. After that, a bunch of people were laid off without warning and the CEO has still yet to address the org directly.

I was just another name in the list of devs that ended up leaving in the aftermath. This event wasn’t the only reason I left, but it certainly was the tipping point.
The perception that YOE == skill matters far more than people would care to admit.
Witnessing repeated sexual harassment of female co-workers.

Verbal abuse, and witnessing verbal abuse of co-workers.

Rampant drug and alcohol abuse evident in the office.

Manager repeatedly taking credit he didn't deserve, and blaming his staff for his own mistakes and poor judgment.

I have also quit to move to a different city, because the company was losing money and laying people off, because I found a better job.
So a group of liberal scientists feel that social justice is more important than social distancing. You believe this is both unexpected and shreds their credibility? I don't see any institutions signing on here, just individuals with individual political views.

I want to charitably understand your opinion here. Do you feel they should have kept quiet about their political views because as public health experts or epidemiologists they must remain neutral or else sully the fields as biased as a whole?
"militant Christian". Sharia law at its finest. Nice that you can claim to be X when ignoring the requirements for being X. And, it seems, people don't call you on it.
I would imagine you don't raise expectations with the inten to fire, you raise them because you hadn't set them appropriately before.

If there was some assumption that workers would give 110% for whatever, but now you know they'll give 100%, you're certainly free to raise the expectations next performance cycle.

Are you saying that's a violation of workers rights?
Okay, but lets say containers are how we manage applications at scale. And so now you want these containers to still be distributed among regions, among different computers, to be increasingly interconnected, online, to be efficient. Maybe even you want kubernetes on bare metal for extra performance. Lets say that's the trend. Where is it going? Its moving towards grouping together heterogenous hardware in different locations as a single abstraction and managing that. You're going to want to abstract away various forms of memory, processors, GPUs, networking, file systems, and you're going to want something like a task manager, you're going to want to manage permissions and licenses. That is, you want the next layer of abstraction beyond that of a single computer. Docker, virtualization, hyperconverged disaggregated infrastructure - whatever the specific incarnation is, they represent different solutions to the same underlying, long-term trends.

If you can find the barcode. The remnants within the GBP are often fragments, particles, or microscopic.

Taggants for fibres might be based on specific banding patterns. These would not be dissimilar to barcodes. They'd probably require some degree of magnification but could otherwise be read with minimal equipment or complexity on at least reasonably macroscopic fragments.

I can't believe what I just read from Sabine. But then if she dont gets it. No wonder why 99% of HN still don't get 5G. Like I said in my HN bubbles post [1], which had lots of upvote but the only disagreement was on 5G.

5G isn't mmWave. mmWave isn't REAL 5G. This is the most common misconception on the internet inclusive but not limited to HN. AFAIK, till late 2021, no county other than USA has used or plan to use mmWave for their mobile network. The only usage outside of USA are for residential Wireless Internet. And those were on trial only.

Even the biggest proponent of mmWave, Verizon are backing off mmWave expansion.

5G has lots of things other than mmWave. As a matter of fact mmWave isn't even 1% of the initial 5G ( 3GPP R15 ) spec. And the same goes to 6G, which is NOT about higher frequency either. Another misconception is you need higher frequency for more bandwidth. Which is true in Shannon's law [2]. But we dont need more maximum bandwidth, we need higher capacity, or same bandwidth in ( e.g 1Gbps ) available to more people at the same time. i.e Network Capacity. And that, is what 5G ( Massive MIMO ) and 6G ( Distributed MIMO ) is about. ( Along with dozens of other things )

[2] I still remember my professor told me the exact same thing in the 90s when I was doing work on 3G. How we will soon reach those limit. So for people who has not worked in the Wireless / Mobile industry space. A lot of what we take for granted today were essentially miracle or black magic not that long ago.
We're quite willing to misspell "colour" for US rates!
That thread doesn't appear to be uninterested people. They're asking about rationale, saying they may be asking the wrong people, brainstorming other things that would help, and asking for data.
They weren’t. As it clearly said the hospital has many clients and a variety of funding including private patients and donations.
Obviously I was engaging in a small amount of artistic license/hyperbole in order to get my point across, nor was it supposed to be a description of your own personal circumstances.

There are reports that many scientists involved in the IPCC report have been deliberately understating the case for more extreme outcomes too. No doubt both behaviours occur - again, we're all human, and the scientific method is the best (imperfect) way we have of ensuring such claims don't unduly influence our best scientific understanding.

Do you really honestly believe we'd be better off simply ignoring the IPCC report and not worry about fossil fuel emissions at all just because there may have been a few exaggerated data points published?
Don't know what your background is/what you're looking for - but your story both resonated with me and pissed me off at how you were treated. Happy to refer you to my current company/help you get a much better paying job if you're interested, just email hn@matthewheath.dev.
It all looked reasonable to me.

People there were thinking about this as a possible fix for a hypothetical crash, not a security issue, and no one was able to prove that there was a crash, nor that the patch fixed it.

No one bothered reviewing it, and the original person who raised the patch didn't advocate further.

None of this seems even close to "insane", this seems like exactly what you expect in most software projects. "Hey, can you explain the bug this patch fixes more?" -> contributor vanishes into the aether -> nothing happens.
Not to mention that in-house silicon is all about economies of scale, this is even more of a puzzling move

If you are using external blocklists, you are perpetuating the problem here. Small mail operators end up on blocklists through no fault of their own, and it sounds like your server would reject them just like the big servers do.
