To me there is a massive difference between “mattering” and “having worth”. I don’t believe anything matters, but I do believe there are things that are worth doing and there are ways of behaving that are worth following.

I’m not a philosopher so I’m probably not explaining myself well, but I don’t think anything at all matters in an existential sense. Whether I live or get hit by a bus and die tomorrow or whatever, it’s not important. However, I do think there are many things that are worthy. Helping other people, trying not to harm anything, being kind etc., I believe these things are all very worthy of doing, but I don’t think they matter.

I wish I knew what the philosophical terms for what I’m describing as “matter” and “have worth” were
If you're going to switch jobs at all, now would be a good moment.

The position you mentioned is likely part of a backlog which accumulated over the vacation season.

In any case I personally decided to stay in my not particularly exciting and underpaid job (considering that offers I get average around +50%) so I can attest to the fact that it's not the end of the world if you do so.
I guess that's part of the give and take of living in a large union. There are advantages and disadvantages. As someone from the US, that dynamic is familiar.
It is dangerous for a country to appear weak. Ukraine is going through hell because Putin thought invading it would be a walkover. 9/11 made America look weak and incompetent (the U.S. did not control the airspace over the Pentagon?), so the country had to respond more strongly than to some other calamity that caused a few thousand deaths. Of course, this does not mean that everything precipitated by 9/11, such as the war in Iraq, was a good idea.
I have no basis for this, but I would have to imagine router tables are significantly larger with IPv6, hence higher costs due increased complexity.
This particular building seems to have a triangular floorplan. Seems ... awkward to adapt to residential.

Or even as offices.

Because the EU thinks it's ok to have an advantage with lower wages, but not on cheap electricity. If they didn't, they would have made regulation that either normalised wages throughout the EU (VERY unpopular with the inhabitants of northern Europe) or allowed nations to demand that all wages must be paid locally in accordance to local laws or tariffs. This is not allowed today, as it would make work migration a lot less beneficial for capitalists importing workers from eastern Europe.
> Also, in my opinion, it's better to get fired from an exciting job than from a boring one.

How so?

Generally, IPv6-first networks use shared IPv4 addresses for connectivity to legacy servers. Think CG-NAT but slightly more optimised.

I don't know why a tornado would only knock out IPv4, seems to me that the prefix administration for IPv6 should run on the same location as the DHCP administration for IPv4.

I would've switched most of my systems over to IPv6 by now if it wasn't for my workplace using Ubiquity hardware that still lacks IPv6 hardware acceleration, forcing the admins to disable it or face unnecessary network slowdowns. I like to be able to use my password manager and such on their WiFi just in case.

Indian regulation forcing IPv6 availability may lead to limited IPv4 availability in one of the biggest developing economies in the world, which may lead to business reasons for switching over. I can only hope, we've been stuck with IPv4 for way too long.
All registrations are at the mercy of a middleman, especially gTLD registrations.
Lol yeah, if there had been no lockdowns, then the economy would've carried on just fine, despite rampant illness, despite fear leading to people isolating themselves anyway.

That's a myth being told by those who have a clue and know that they have a competitive advantage by changing jobs whenever it works better for them. Yes, also in Germany. I would even say especially in Germany, precisely because this myth is more prevalent. That hiring manager who quizes you about why you have been moving so much is exactly the clueless who has stayed at their job for decades and can't stand others who had more fun and became more successful faster. Smile, you're going to be their boss very soon :)
lot of the airbnbs are equally bad - no desk to work at for more than 20 minutes, small kitchens not designed to be used for more than a wine and some bread..
What always annoys me are zero* calorie drinks. Zero calories? Well, close enough to zero per-serving that they just rounded down a few. Also, there are about 5 "servings" in the bottle.

On the other hand, in many EU countries, if you need to lay off employees, you typically get rid of the most recent hires. So switching job during a recession is also a mean to paint a "lay me off"-shaped target on your shirt.
And the first might have stood has the second not fallen next to it.

I would propose to get a M1 Mac mini.
Additionally, if you want to support x86, i would virtualize MacOS on a (your) regular PC, for example with Qemu/KVM or Proxmox, since it will eventually fade away.
I don't think I've ever met a person who has listened to an audiobook. Not really a thing here, at all, at least for now. Maybe it happens, like the podcast craze is happening right now. (Brazil)
Ask HN: Help me pick a front-end framework
Hopefully this can be a fruitful discussion since I think I have a quite clear but also reasonably common set of needs. I have a feeling that if you're "in the world" of frontend engineering you get a much more intuitive feeling for these tooling questions than I can get at a distance by reading SEO-spam developer blogs and State Of JS (although the latter does seem really helpful).

I'm thinking of building a text-annotation based app _alone in my spare time_. The core usage loop is about viewing and interacting with "visual markup" applied to a body of text. So lots of tooltips/hoverbars I guess.

Some notes about my needs:

- This would be by far the most complex GUI I've ever built.

- Relatedly, I expect to get the UX design horribly horribly wrong and start from scratch at least once.

- I also suck at making things look pretty and also don't find this problem very rewardinging to think or read about.

- All of the above point towards a framework that is pretty easy to get started in and prototype quickly.

- Because of limited time, and low confidence in UX design decisions, I would often follow the path of least resistance and the end product would be heavily influenced by the tools I used to build it.

----

- Despite what I said about quick rampup I'm fine with learning new languages.

- Weak typing is a deal-breaker. If using JS, must have good TypeScript integration or similar. (Does anyone still write plain JS?)

------

- I don't think I'll want a native desktop app but an iOS/Android version could make sense. But I'll never have time if this can't share most of the code with the web version.

-------

- I don't really have the discipline for manual testing. Luckily I also find it satisfying to over-invest in test automation. I don't really know how this is done in frontend land but good tooling would be a big plus.

-----

- I'm happy to sacrifice one or more of the other requirements in favour of tools that are likely to be maintained 10 years from now.

What are HNs thoughts?
I was in Europe, and I knew it was middle of the night in Australia, the Australian news websites were loading, it was a static picture of the 2 towers with smoke billowing out of them...
So far your theory, but I measured it in practice. Developer tools give easy access to parser events and different page load timings such as parsing stage.
Last in first out is very situational. Note I just moved company for similar situations and so I am obviously bias. Anyway my thinking was:
- is this a hyper growth company that has 2-5x its headcount in the pandemic?
- is this a unionised workforce?

first point: companies like coin base were rapidly growing into new Geos and verticals. These were teams with maybe a handful of old employees and then a sea of new ones. So when the vertical or geo got axed, just by the numbers a lot of “new” people got axed. Same story for Snapchat (their newish gaming dept) and TikTok (gaming again).

Second point: labour laws are very different to what they were a few decades ago. It’s no longer really expensive to get rid of old employees. I have no data here but my experience is that weakened labour laws have made firing more performance based and you know the performance of your existing work force best. If you move and are seen immediately as the future direction of the company, you are gold dust.

Just my 2 cent
There is a general business lesson here: don’t entrust your critical infrastructure to any provider that does not offer a direct line of communication.
There are new TP-Link access points that don’t even have the option to enable IPv6
This might be one of the only times I've seen the term "$1B company" refer to a billion in revenue, rather than a VC's made-up valuation ("unicorn"). Refreshing.
The article mentions a key to make it persistent - let them decompose under water, where oxygen supply is insufficient. Flooded open-pit mines are a good canidate. I imagine that turning them into dead zones would create bogs and sequester much carbon. Mines for brown coal are likely in a suitable geographical location since they used to be bogs before (this is how brown coal came to be).
For testing it might even be beneficial to use an underspec'ed device.
In the US, carriers are legally required to port your number to your new service, but they can delay the process by up to a week. Generally, it's much much faster (I've ported numbers in literal minutes), but I don't know how it would go with a banned account.
Perhaps, but being made redundant is an inconvenience, not a fatal problem. It can be easily mitigated by having at least a few months of expenses in cash set aside and the in-demand skills that the OP evidently has.
I remember being told by a friend of my now-ex-wife that "hundreds" of planes had been "taken over" and would be crashed into state legislatures across the USA. It's very difficult to keep a cool head during an overwhelming crisis, and the world trade centre attack drives home how easy it is to get lost in rumour and fantasy.

That time period following the attacks was surreal. People were very scared of any plane noises, and a brown-skinned terrorist was imagined lurking around every corner. Then the anthrax attacks happened, and the DC sniper attacks too. It felt like the USA was paralyzed by fear, so I can at least appreciate the atmosphere that led to the "patriot" act and other rights-eroding laws.

COVID-19 felt like a natural disaster to me, with effects that are bad but not from malicious intent (ignoring the actions of various groups, I mean). The WTC attack and subsequent terrorism felt different, as they were caused by humans to inflict fear and chaos on us. It's amazing to me how different those 2 events felt.
One problem I see with this is that if one's email somehow gets onto a spammer's list, there's likely no way to change their email address, since it's presumably formed from an ID number of some sort.

Mine is “hope for the best, prepare for the worst.”
Pretty strong words here. Do you have any data to back this up or is it just opinion. I’ve from the EU and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen this actually happen. And even then it’s usually in banking but I presume a HN post is about tech.
The archive of the article they point to seems much longer and detailed than the version linked to by the Wiipedians discussing removing it.

Is there any way to see the full history of deleted articles? Maybe one of those completionist mirrors?

There's lots of "comedy edits" that only really exist for long enough to take a screenshot (sometimes not even that long as the screenshot can be easily faked).
Heck, natural gas is easily enough made given plenty of electricity.

Power-to-gas is a thing that is deployed already. CNG cars, as well.

Unfortunately it's at best a half measure.

The White House doesn’t define what a recession is or is not and never has. That’s the job of NBER. They haven’t declared a recession yet. They may or may not. In August, even though we were in the colloquial definition of a recession they didn’t declare one.

They can and do back date recession dates to a previous date. But obviously haven’t made a call yet and the colloquial definition of a recession is not how they make that determination.

This is all wonky academic Economics stuff but it’s not changed in a very long time and has nothing to do with the current administration as it’s not even a governmental function.
It isn't a good policy and if that is one of the best ideas of the EU then they have failed as a political project.

1. Corporations are exactly the tool we use to work out what trade offs of cost v. standardisation are best. Everyone is going to claim victory for a bureaucratic committee then a few years down the track we'll discover technology moves on and the regulation is force people to make stupid choices. Removing the flexibility to adapt at the forefront of technology is going to turn out to be foolish in hindsight. These devices aren't even 20 years old and the EU has already decided to start fossilising the tech.

2. There is a decent chance that this will corrupt the USB standard itself. We're already seeing the bizarre profusion of naming [0]. If there is an incentive for corporations to create incompatible things that are all named "USB-C" they may well manage it. Calls to mind the OOXML vs ODF format wars.

3. This is a total waste of political attention. I suppose now we know how the EU ended up in such a catastrophic posture with their energy policy. Their best and brightest were back-seat-driving iPhone design. Thank goodness for the Europeans, they may not have reliable power but if they did they won't have to search around for the right cable. And if we need to send phones into the land war, we know what adaptors to send with them!

Anyone knows how to block promotional SMS senders where there is no sender number to block on Android? This has become quite annoying.
What about running MacOS in a Virtual Machine?

There are "one click" options out there for VirtualBox.
Basically run a script, come back later and have a fully functional MacOS VM?

You can run this on your windows DEV machine and therefor your costs are zero.
The problem here is we're talking about "simjacking" (where you exploit one of the many, many security loopholes in the cellular network to take over someone's phone line for a while and get SMS 2FA codes)

I don't know about Ally or Citibank and will check those out, but it's been my experience that Chase requires a phone number and it makes sending 2FA codes to that number an option.
Exactly why I think this sort of fundamentalist belief in free speech is silly.
I am so sick of this strange take on decentralization that, because some people happen to use an exchange to store their money, somehow that means decentralization is worthless. :/ E-mail is decentralized even if most people don't host their own e-mail servers and even if most people use the same third-party host, and it simply wouldn't be the same product or anywhere near as powerful or valuable to its users if it were fully centralized on exactly one provider.

The reality is that there are a number of exchanges--I don't even have access to Binance in the US! (I can use Binance.US, but that's an entirely separate product from a technically separate company)... I have been mostly using Kraken recently, but I used to use Coinbase--that are all able to cater to different markets under different regulatory schemes and yet can interoperate because of the decentralized blockchain protocol, and that's why the tokens stored on Binance have value in the first place.

So, no: I assure you that these people value "decentralization" even if they are using a custodial wallet of some kind, in the same way that I hope we can all agree that the people who use e-mail or telephone numbers or domain names all value decentralization even if almost no one runs their own fully vertical stacks of servers, carriers, and registrars, because without that decentralization you would be trapped into a walled garden and forced to deal with a single jurisdiction: that you even can use Binance and interoperate with Coinbase is decentralization at work.
It goes up fast when it starts. In Israel it was like that 4 years ago and now it's green on the map.
Well, that’s not something OP can easily change. But as someone working in Germany I’d say unless it’s literally a string of jobs you stayed in for less than a year each it’s not an issue- it is quite normal in software to switch jobs every 2-4 years.
Not that I recommend MMORPGs as a fix, but I do play WoW classic on-and-off, and some communities there are still fine. A lot of people who play are from the older era (not necessarily 90s, but early 2000s), so presumably the people there might be relatively to your liking.

(Do try to get some real help though.. I've been through the negative spiral and it wasn't easy to get out of it... but it can be done, or at least can be in some cases)
I'm just finishing a masters, it's been very enjoyable but definitely a challenge to balance education, work, and family.

It's not just the hours of work to be done, the biggest challenge for me has been the pieces of work that need to be done on specific days at specific times, like one-off lectures, workshops, and so on, where I've had to say to my kids I can't take them places or play with them that day.
Probably due to load, most of the big news sites wouldn't load. I ended up going to BBC.com to find out how bad it was. I heard about it from a very confused DJ on a radio station on my way to work.
Unfortunate fact is that battery charging tends to halfway overlap with hours you would want to drain the cars a bit.

People want their vehicles predictably usable, which is why any idea dependent on using car batteries as actual power smoothing will fail.

innovating is hard and haphazard, paying to defend your position is expensive but easy and incredibly predictable

i'd be very surprised if any large company with a commanding market share isn't spending a significant chunk of change on lobbying and other ways of locking newcomers out of their market
1) There are so many much easier and faster ways of networking and getting clients than writing a book.
2) If the primary motivation per consulting gigs then there wouldn't be so many books written by people who work at FAANG-level companies, who I'm guessing are not on fiverr on weekends.
Not worth the hassle in my opinion. People who don't have it often think they need it but the reality is that you can learn on your own and fast as well.

Are you mortgage free or is your assumption that cash / partner income will buffer that for the short term.
In which case practice is appropriately to answer "no comment", not to say the opposite is true. Especially when it's obvious you're acting counter to what you're saying.

The whole thing has a cult quality to it, and it's a farce in a way even ordinary propaganda isn't - beyond embarrassment and into cringe, perhaps.
I’m not generally someone who benefits from being on Slack all day, and time zones make that a challenge anyway, but a community of close peers with similar business models is a godsend. I found mine mostly ad hoc in the MicroConf/etc crowd. Some people formalize this vis “mastermind groups” which should give you all you need to Google the technique and organizers.

The useful thing is to have people who know your business intimately over quarters/years and who you can occasionally chat to about projects with timespan of weeks.
> E.g. you can take raw pointer, and set two mutable variables to point to it and borrow checker can't know they point to same address.

That sounds an awful lot like bypassing the borrow checker.

> As far as I know Zig can't say well these two functions can run in parallel because they are at compile time guaranteed to never access same resources and it's impossible to bypass it (outside unsafe). And their content is thread-safe based on the type they satisfy.

Yeah but that's the point. Rust has one way of guaranteeing that two pieces of code don't mutate the same memory at compile time, but that's not the only way to write a correct program which guarantees that. Rust is going to force you to write your program in a certain way to achieve this. There are many other approaches you may be able to use in an unrestricted language which reach a correct and potentially more performant result which are correct, but which rustc cannot verify are correct.

> Douglas Crockford made a good case that every language should on some level try to prevent errors.

That's one opinion. There are many who disagree.

> Python is also older than Java, but even Python is memory safe (GC). Zig and new batch of better C aren't. In that way we definitely regressed.

That's not even an argument. It takes it for granted that lack of memory safety in a systems language is "a regression". That's not an established consensus.

> If that is truly the case we'd be all programming in Excel and Access.

How exactly do you come to the conclusion that Excel and Access are better at delivering value than other programming languages?

> Anything can deliver value, question is - can it be maintained, and at what cost.

Yeah exactly. The point is which language can deliver the most user value in your desired use-case at the least cost. For something like an operating system, where reliability is paramount, it may be a good tradeoff to use something like Rust which is unergonomic and slow to compile because the safety and correctness tools contribute to your use-case directly.

For something like a web front-end project, you're probably not going to choose Rust since it's going to be hard to find enough programmers who are willing or able to get over the Rust learning curve, and Rust's USP's don't do a lot for you.

For something like game-dev, where 30% of what you're doing is thinking about memory layouts, Rust's tradeoffs are actively working against you, and you might appreciate the faster code/build/run loop offered by something like Zig.
Not to mention all of these issues (hot operating temperature, insulation weight) are easier to improve than ultimate capacity.
> Containers of course add some overhead, however it is negligible in modern world.

I feel the people most enthusiastically trying to convince you of this are the infrastructure providers who also coincidentally bill you for every megabyte you use.

> I honestly don't know what you have to do to get 20 gigs of overhead with containers, dozens of full ubuntu containers with dev packages and stuff?

Maybe 5 Gb from the containers alone, they were pretty slim containers, but a few dozen of them in total; but I ran microk8s which was a handful of gigabytes, I could also get rid of kibana and grafana, which was a bunch more.
