> Were the older days of millions of constantly changing cables and ports from every phone and gadget manufacturer better? I feel not. And what we have today, while far from perfects is miles better that the past.

Better in some ways? Yes. Not better in other ways? Also yes.

Where someone stands on the spectrum depends on how you feel about uncertainty. That is, previously you were certain about what did work (i.e., the cord + charger that came with your phone) vs what did not.

Now, there's more compatibility yet at the same time we've taken on uncertainty.

I generally feel we're better off. But there are also enough times where I think, "Sure, maybe jetpacks was too much to expect two decades into the 21st Century, but connector + cable being a no-brainer isn't. FFS why do I have to think so much about something that should be so simple?"

Yeah, it's not binary.
Meã Culpa! I didn’t actually read this before posting, the headline just looked interesting and I wrongly assumed that it would be a “serious” story.

I just finished reading it and it’s a really garbage article where basically someone once saw that someone once made a pro IS NFT. The poster wasn’t actually associated with IS that we know of and it turns out they didn’t ever sell it to anyone. Then they ask a bunch of various analysts what that means to pad it out into a much bigger deal than it actually was.
This is very similar to the idea of embodied cognition:

> Embodied cognition is the theory that many features of cognition, whether human or otherwise, are shaped by aspects of an organism's entire body. Sensory and motor systems are seen as fundamentally integrated with cognitive processing. The cognitive features include high-level mental constructs (such as concepts and categories) and performance on various cognitive tasks (such as reasoning or judgment). The bodily aspects involve the motor system, the perceptual system, the bodily interactions with the environment (situatedness), and the assumptions about the world built into the organism's functional structure.

I believe this is a pretty mainstream concept in AI, also see the "AI and robotics" section in the page.
It's ultimately simple: many people, especially people from professional–managerial class (PMC) which keeps rising in its aggregate wealth & prominence during the recent past, will tell you (maybe in a comment section on HN or some other media) that using "counter-offers" as a career strategy is unethical, akin to blackmail. This is a (often performative) niceness narrative common to the social plane.

Be aware that it very well could be the same PMC people who consistently use various tricks to lowball (google it) offers for productive people like you and me in their day to day hiring practice, simply because they can - this is the logic of harsh business plane.

There is no contradiction here.

Counter-offer is something you can use as well.
Where have you been? This has been going on for decades.

Remember user replaceable batteries? What happened to them? Hardware manufacturers killed them because they want to sell you a new phone instead. The reason is simple --- it's more profitable for them.

Who is to blame for this? Maybe you.

Somehow, consumers swallowed the idea that "free" software is better. Someone forgot to explain that "free" software often means you pay with your privacy. Someone forgot to explain that "free" software means hardware manufacturers will come to dominate the eco-system --- and cheap, disposable, unrepairable hardware will follow.

Crazy idea --- how about we pay $5 extra for a phone that is truly private and at least has a replaceable battery? Is that really "crazy"? Where is MS when you need them? Unfortunately, that ship has now sailed never to return.
The manipulation is in the lack of distinction between Wikimedia and Wikipedia. Wikipedia requires very little funding, but is also the most popular product of Wikimedia.

Read the emails yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVilla...

They are playing off the public appeal of Wikipedia --- Wikipedia dominates the branding and word usage of the emails. It implies, falsely, that Wikipedia is verging on needing to run ads or run out of funds shorty. It's Wikimedia that needs the funding to stay operational, largely for products that are not Wikipedia.

What are Wikimedia supposed to do? They could be honest in their communications, and be more clear what they are raising funds for.
And then we would need to use two very different spellings for American and British English. Be careful with what you wish.
For me (windows, chrome or ff), it works only on the blue markers, but zooming on the map does not make it more details, and the switch to street view leaves a blank canvas.
> I hope I don't need to point out the hypocrisy here.

I don't think you have finished reading all the comments around this whole 'Ask HN' post with more comments here recommending either 'Windows', and 'macOS' over 'Linux' as their 'main desktop' to develop 'on'.

> You already concede that WSL2 is needed to make Windows a viable development environment.

Now where did I say that?

WSL2 isn't used for targeting desktop apps for Windows, it is used for developers that want to easily target Linux or testing their apps on Linux by NOT going through the process of clean installing, dual booting, migrating files to an entire separate Linux desktop environment to do that, which that is the use-case to run both Windows as the main system and Linux as the guest.

With this one can easily develop or test and target typical desktop apps on a Windows machine without switching, dual booting, etc which is what I am talking about and the same is true for macOS which developers use to target for macOS desktop apps.

So you have a more integrated consistent developer / desktop experience where the desktop works with the developer rather than the developer wasting time fighting with their computer and they end up distro-hopping for years rather than getting work done.

> Linux is a terrible desktop...

That is all the OP needs to know. Everything else beyond that sentence is irrelevant.

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, which for GUI desktop apps, there are little to no users to target compared to the likes of macOS and Windows.
It's fascinating watching the extreme conditions going on all over the world. I live in California and we have of course been getting drought and wildfires for a long time now, but I am noticing too that this is happening in many places.

I just found this youtube channel talking about the droughts in China, and the story is remarkable. Low water levels means hydroelectric dams are shutting off, rolling blackouts during a massive heat wave. Feels like a story out of California, but this is happening all over China.

There's the flooding in Bangladesh:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/6/22/bangladesh-floods-e...

Heat waves in Europe are leading to thousands of excess deaths:

https://www.politico.eu/article/excess-death-surged-heat-wav...

Global average temperature anomaly is now 0.85 C above pre-industrial levels.

https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/

I noticed someone from the UK saying they had a heat wave in the 1970's, but then someone shared a plot of global temperature anomaly from back then and today. That summer there was a bit of an increase in the UK from that heat wave, but the rest of the world was more normal. Today, the increase is happening all over the world at once.

I desperately hope that people get the message. It seems that maybe the tide is turning, but I know it is already so late, I hope we can act fast before we make things so much worse.

I'm undergraduate student studying Computer Science at the University of Minnesota. I have > 2 years of experience working with deep learning/data science/data engineering and software development. For summer 2023, I'm interested in doing another software engineer/data science/data engineer/AI internship. Contact me if there is a position which I might be a good fit for and I would love talk about it.
As someone who doesn't go to any sport events - that's so weird. Also feels like an absolutely monumental waste of time.
Sometimes it's a deliberate decision. Startups, for example, are generally not in the business of writing robust, maintainable, performant software. They're usually searching for a market niche to exploit and happen to use software to achieve their goals. They prefer moving fast, iterating on designs, and pivoting off in different directions.

To spend the time and effort to write robust, maintainable software would slow them down and give away their niche to a competitor. So it makes sense to hire decent people and toss code at the wall until they find that niche.

Other businesses in industries like security or real-time systems prioritize and value different things. There's usually more of a focus on performance and reliability. That means longer development timelines but the cost of failures is much higher.
You literally can't fucking answer this question?
Kind of an old school argument for behaving ethically. It does explain a few scenes in von Braun's book "Project Mars" where a main character drops to his knees and prays.
Well the product this company makes is uniformly priced across all locations. So if i wanted to consume the product my company makes I would be paying the same price as US/UK.
Ensuring I always did my homework from school
signup confirm emails are not what i'm describing, because you need to establish and filter the initial offer that they send you via email itself, which is still prone to phishing.

What I'm describing is a situation where users themselves have to proactively subscribe to a connection using some sort of out-of-band mechanism. For example, if a website wanted to send you emails, they could produce some sort of "connection ticket" that you can give to your email client in order to subscribe to them.

Good catch. I think sponsorships should always be disclosed in the abstract or introduction.
While pervasive tracking is insidious, Google is the least problematic actor since they don't sell their data.
It isn’t about what’s convenient for you. It’s an individual cost benefit analysis. Your needs are different than mine.
Other option is to use the Openvino one (https://github.com/bes-dev/stable_diffusion.openvino). It uses CPU and runs very fast. It takes ~90s to generate an image on my Ryzen 3800X.
Think in extremes and then dial it back to what is reasonable
I’ve flown business on several A380 operators, including many trips with Emirates. The cabin is very quiet compared to other types. Add some cheap foam earplugs, then your over-ear noise cancelling headphones, switch them on for a few more db of effect. Economy tends to be noisier due to the number of people there and increased ratio of kids. Loved bar area and the mini-suite concept for those operators that do it. I for one will miss this gentle giant. Probably as close as you’ll get to a modern day version of the flying boat luxury of the empire age.
Impact of programming on primary mathematics learning
Same, but I'm so done with the uninstallable facebook apps.

When I got my galaxy 10 I went in and disabled all the facebook apps since you can't uninstall them. I went an checked the status a year later, and the original ones were still disabled, but they had pushed additional facebook apps to me behind the scenes without me knowing.

I don't get why samsung needs facebook money this badly to invade their customer's privacy.

Now it's time to upgrade and I'm reluctant to buy Samsung, Pixel seems to be garbage .. not sure where to turn next.
So in the example of the parent, he's got a domain name registered somewhere (mydomain.com) and he set, in its MX records, the gmail server. But how does gmail make the connection between that address and your gmail address then?
Highlights

• Compared to traditional activities, programming did not benefit mathematics learning.

• A negative though small effect of programming on mathematics learning was found.

• High-road transfer from programming to mathematics is not self-evident.

• Visual programming languages might distract students from mathematics activities.
This should be made a standard practice.

Third party email providers, the so-called "established businesses", get a free pass as sending SMTP servers that are accepted by almost all receiving STMP servers. Everyone just assumes everything coming from those SMTPs is legit.
Establishing this "legitimacy" and getting the "free pass" is difficult and some have suggested, the third parties may employ anticompetive tactics.

However, IMHO the receiving SMTPs is a different issue. Why do we let these third parties receive and store our email. (Why do our homes have their own mailboxes. Why not use a "P.O. Boxes" instead.) Eventually we could move away from letting third parties control the receipt of our mail. Neither "POP3" nor "webmail" was part of the original concept of email.

Today, it is easier than ever to set up overlay networks where we can assign our own IP addresses and run our own SMTP servers that can communicate directly with other SMTP servers on the overlay network. These networks are not open to the world, they may only be open to people we know. Much of our mail is between people who know each other, e.g., friends, family, colleagues. Or businesses that we contact first. We can separate different social and business networks on different overlay networks.

Anyway, the sending and receiving of mail can be separated. We do not need to let a third party control both.
How I thrived as an introverted software developer (2021) [video]
By popular demand, the article now has a picture of the scanner I have access to - an F135 Plus - with a bit more information about how it's used. For those who wish to see an F235 and/or F335, I recommend Google Images, since I'm not going to use someone else's pictures without their permission.
I point my own custom domain at it, so that part isn’t free. I have my NAS configured to automatically update the DNS record when/if it changes.

The issue is not with being direct, but with instructing the interviewer to "please list the exact steps and time estimates for each." It smacks of self-importance and arrogance, and the way it's phrased strongly suggests the author thinks they are the smartest and always right.

By the way, I looked this guy up, and his experience looks like it's extremely limited to basically a couple of SMBs and some consulting. I have no idea where he gets the confidence to comment on the industry, having basically never worked in it.
A phone without basic emergency service access should be recalled. Google has no intention on fixing it, they might as well save themselves further liability
Not good from an energy-wasting perspective.
IRC, XMPP, and Matrix (in increasing order of support for E2E crypto).

I'm not sure how well those protocols (as implemented, in practice) support clients that go offline for long periods of time.
The part about taxi passengers inevitably reminds one of Better Call Saul. Without any spoilers: the part about Gene Takovic in Omaha.
I'm a behavioral scientist and I find both are useful. If you never look at a histogram it's surprisingly easy to fool yourself about what exactly the ecdf is telling you in certain situations, particularly when comparing distributions.
Only things he has asked for, this is not driven by a need for academic improvement or anything, but a chance to learn tools to improve a known deficit with ADHD that can negatively impact his ability to maintain social connections.

If you consider that the training set includes all western art from the last few centuries it’s not too surprising. There’s an awful lot of nudes in that set & most of them are female.
1. What happens in a day/week in the life of this job?
Generally interviewers cant think fast enough to lie convincingly in answer to this question, by giving you a rose-tinted fantasy. Here is where you hear that the _real_ duties dont match the job description they are handing out.
2. What did the last guy die of?
Similarly, throws interviewers (assuming this is not a newly created role). They will find it hard to deflect or lie convincingly under pressure. It doesn't matter what they say (to some extent) what matters is how they handle the question. Keep it breezy, smile, don’t be afraid of silence while they sweat.
Yes! The 9front crew is really good at adding stuff to keep the OS useful. Crypto is up-to-date, ssh plays well, ori_b (who also commented here) wrote a plan9 git client that 9front uses. 9front is the best way to go, in my opinion.

It's also what sdf uses too, for what it's worth.

Standard contract in Europe is 1 month notice for the first year, after that 3 months. This way there's actually time for handover and employers can better invest in and give responsibility to their employees.
I would recommend trying GrapheneOS. Easy to install on Pixels and have heard great things. The OS focus is on Privacy and Security which can come with some cutbacks but still might be worth it to you
No, <=10% is a shredded six-pack with thin skin, visible muscle striations, etc.

to see a decent sixpack in normal situations without intense flexing/lighting, a male typically needs to be at about 13-15% bodyfat.
I have also been self-hosting email for 15 years and only had couple of problems at the beginning, mainly until my IP got enough reputation. I have been hosting it on a bare metal Supermicro server in a proper datacenter, though. It has reverse-DNS, SPF, DKIM, TLS, MTA-STS and even DANE with DNSSEC (on a self-hosted BIND but that's another story). It is implemented using Exim, Dovecot, SpamAssasin, DNSBL and Roundcube with OpenLDAP auth. I can recommend this awesome hand-on guide provided by Netherlands Domain Registration Foundation as a basis of a nice configuration https://www.sidn.nl/en/news-and-blogs/hands-on-implementing-...

I had some troubles with IMAP search. I set up CLucene, it was easy and enough for me (no need for Java Lucene). It just took me a long time to figure out why it wouldn't search a domain part of email addresses. It just required to set up the tokenizations in such a way to split words also on @ character, i.e. don't consider a full email address as a word. :P I also had some troubles with OpenLDAP until I finally decided to read the docs and examples there properly. Since then I have been using this setup happily and it appears I will continue to do so! I also share the LDAP with NextCloud btw.
Yeah. I want to work on top of stable APIs that abstract everything not relevant to my problem. Sure, sometimes the problems are low level, but usually I don't need to touch any of that.

Not yet at least. That's about step 3 or 4 down the road. It took Reddit a decade of constant pressure to get there for example.

The problem is that all too often do customers think they know what they want but actually have NFC what they need.

Unless there is a constructive dialogue between the people who build it and the people that want it, it will end disastrously. Just think of all the failed white elephant projects that get “negotiated” on the golf course.

Until there’s an acceptance that being agile isn’t just something developers do but has to be adopted by the whole org, it’s not going to work. I know it sounds a bit dreamy but I’ve worked in big orgs that did agile rather well, so it is possible…

That's the catchword, the first word of the next page. It helps with keeping the pages in the correct order when binding the book. It could also be an aid when reading aloud, to give the reader one word of "buffer" when turning the page.
While I accept this may not be common usage in English, I am quite certain no one would take "60 times cheaper" to mean "you would literally be paid 60 times the price to take one item". That interpretation makes no sense at all (except if doing some real mental gymnastics to translate common words mechancially into math and then execute the math).
It sounds like they're trying to identify whether there is an egomaniac or monomaniac with veto power on the team or not, which is a good thing to know, and a legitimate thing to want to find out before joining. I think the question is poorly phrased, because it leaves open the line of follow-up questioning you offered. It would have been better to ask something like "if I had an idea for how to improve the code base, can you describe the process for getting approval to implement it?"
I would guess it is to aid a speaker reading aloud so as not to have an awkward pause between pages.
