All my rich feelings about this as a millennial woman are from watching Netflix's The Crown.

I think that fact is absolutely incredible, and I'm just noticing how it works, the glimpses of feeling I get as I scroll news feed... images from real photos of the queen seamlessly woven in with flashes of scenes and emotions evoked from watching... Even emotional bits that I KNOW are not legit accurate/real.... My mind treats it all as one category anyway.

The show is an elegant testament to what fiction does, to portray a woman's epic coming of age and into the power and duty of something much bigger than her, across a century.

Our literature just doesn't have that grandness anymore, there are no literary novels by writers today about today that do this. Aesthetics there have changed in their scope somehow.

It's all on our film and tv technology to refresh these themes of responsibility, inner steeliness, honor, sacrifice, respectability etc... to make what's old new again.

I'm certain before the show I cared nothing, and after it, I care a lot.

You're looking at a minimal test case, not an example of it happening in real production code. Of course it's obvious in the minimal test case, that's the point.

I've personally written something akin to the following, which triggered no errors (at the time, maybe this is fixed):

foo, err := foo()
if err != nil {
nil, err
}

return foo, nil

The worst part is because all of the error-handling is copypasta boilerplate, your eyes don't look at it. So subtle bugs get through and make it to production. I've seen this one too:

foo, err := foo()
if err != nil {
return foo, nil
}

return foo, nil

Also note that now we've gone from "Doesn't [go] provide compile time check for errors?" to "Well I guess it doesn't check that errors are used, but that would never happen to me."

I'm not as fond of the redesign that took place sometime in the last decade or so, but I remember the old (circa 2000) Win32 docs as good examples of great documentation.

For the worst ever in all of human history, I submit the official Unreal Engine docs. They never finished them, and they ain't gonna. If it didn't come with full source I'd never get anything done because I'm not about to sit through 100 hours of YouTube videos to find the details I need.

A lot of software relies on user-created documentation these days. And it's not even a decent wiki anymore. It's more likely to be YouTube and a Discord. Damn kids.
I really like that HN is not like that, but nice work anyway :)
Just because the government has at some point invested in something doesn't mean it had to for it to take off. Once something is already going strong, it's to be expected that everyone who might stand to benefit will want to hop on the bandwagon, especially once the utility is proven. For example the government was not particularly involved with aircraft development until WW1 when it proved to be of considerable military importance.

It's also worth noting that many developments are unintended spillover from other efforts. For example a lot of US government money went into producing high purity germanium, which would ultimately enable the development of the solid state transistor, but the government wasn't directly trying to produce solid state transistors, they instead were concerned with producing diodes for radars.

In either case, I would not describe it as seed investment.
I wish Tesla would cut it out with the computerized car bullshit and focus on making the best battery cars instead. They shouldn't need bullshit like "it will be fiscally irresponsible to not buy our cars because it will be a robotaxi that pays for itself"; it imperils the long-term success of the company for a short-term boost in sales. And it alienates anybody with a modicum of critical thinking.
It's possible, but as I mentioned in another comment, building this as an extension has some added benefits [1].

> that way I don't have to bloat the browser's start-up time and don't have to "worry" about this extension spying on other websites, even though I realize it's unlikely

No need to worry about that, as it's limited by the permissions specified in the extension manifiest. So this extension can only access news.ycombinator.com and extensionpay.com to facilitate the Pro upgrade.

The non-ceremonial stuff is PR and goodwill for the UK. She's essentially fostered economic cooperation between the Commonwealth for decades. That has been quite important and should not be understated. The American view that her duties are fluff is a lazy take.
She was remarkable in so many ways and I in no way envy the life she had to live. The sense of duty she had, the poise and character she had - it's just so much it's hard to believe she did it all as well as she did with nary a crack when there was certainly unlimited opportunities for them.

If there is a Kingdom of God, I'm guessing God himself may be asking her for a tip or 2 right about now.

> Random internet comments don't mean anything.

These weren't random internet comments, these were a bunch of well known gatekeepers in the main go mailing list trying to gaslight everybody else and threatening to quit Go if Go ever added generics. Obviously that didn't work and now these people have lost any form of power they thought they have. But these are very public people I won't name here.

> Nobody who mattered said that Go didn't need generics.

Well I guess these people clearly don't matter now, since they are still on the mailing list despite their threats...

> It was always explicitly on the table.

No it wasn't, Rob Pike himself was clearly not interested in adding generics and the effort truly began when Pike left the Go team. Let's not try to rewrite history.

On a lower end medium time scale maybe.. but the kind of power we're talking about here and needed by society, is still a few discoveries and a few decades away from actually being, let alone being practical on a large scale. And the worst part is that only then does the discussion even begin about adopting, using and manufacturing/installing it at scale.

Large scale HUGE capacity electricity storage is a LOT further away than a lot of people and interests are willing to... well.. as we see in europe.. allow for. We are going ahead with the first half of a system that isn't even complete in theory.

This would solve a lot of issues with interior design aesthetics. A lot of rooms just don't have a good spot for a TV. They end up above a fire place, or in front of a window. or in an awkward viewing spot. They make lift systems that put the TV down into a cabinet but you still have the full size TV to store away.

> An abdication caused that to happen. The happiest and freest time of her life may well have been living on Malta prior to that, living a fairly normal life with her husband and young family.

My only source is the show The Crown but I'm fairly certain her uncle abdicated the throne when she was still a child, putting her in line for the throne. It was not after she was married to Phillip.
That's fine but they're convinced software is the boring cheap part and people want the car for physical side of things, and nothing will change their mind short of really dire circumstances (and business has never been better for them)

Rolls Royce was still selling $200,000 with iDrive versions almost 2 years behind the version in a base model 2-series until last year, so I also wouldn't underestimate how much money they've made while keeping that mentality

> If Rust was able to create the ? operator based on developer experience with its try!() macro, I don't see why Go won't be able to create its own error propagation operator based on developer experience with its "if err != nil { return err }" idioms.

Because Go does not have declarative macros. So while Rust got something like 25 versions out of try! before considering that it’s worth an operator (but it could well have gone with an other pattern if one had arisen) that’s not really an option for go.
The reason Russian press should not be treated is that it lies awful lot and that journalis who don't lie end up being closed or imprisoned.

A series of coincidences became an inside joke, and now a friend of mine and I are very often tasked with removing bodies from the stage. In one production, I had no other role. I showed up just long enough to drag a body offstage.

The stage directions in the Folio edition are rarely Shakespeare's own. He tended to encode stage directions in the text itself (like "I'll lug the guts into the neighbor room" when Hamlet kills Polonius). Which sometimes makes it tricky to figure out how he intended a body to get offstage. Today we can just turn off the lights and let the actor walk away, but that wasn't an option for him.

There are a million clever ways to do it, especially since we're not beholden to those non-canonical stage directions (or, for that matter, the canonical text, which is not copyrighted).

Too hard to take a 30% cut?
$500/day is about $62/hr, assuming 8 hrs/day. That’s in the median range for US freelancers. You can find people charging quite a bit less on sites like Upwork and Fiverr (many of them in low cost-of-living countries). $250+/hr is at the high end, though I know freelancers getting that rate, and I sometimes get that rate for specialized or emergency work. Freelancers I know with similar experience/skills (I have 40 years programming experience) get $100-$200 per hour consistently with US companies. One friend specializes in server/network security and gets $225/hr consistently.

I find I get better-quality customers with a higher than median rate. Depending on the niche you specialize in you have to find a rate that advertises your competence without going so high you exclude most customers.

I prefer not to work hourly, and I never take on big fixed-fee projects. My niche is taking over the big fixed-fee projects that fail (as they seem to most of the time). I charge by deliverable unless the customer can’t handle that and wants to go hourly. Even when they want to pay hourly I’m giving them binding estimates for specific deliverables and tasks so it works out the same.

I have worked through a US-based agency since 2014, they take care of contracts/legal, billing and payment, and marketing for 15% of gross. They get better rates than I was getting on my own before signing up with them so it works out.
Thanks for that explanation. I assume by "free living" you mean they can exist by themselves in soil apart from plant roots (or at least for part of their lifecycle)? I'm more familiar with the ones that are symbiotic with plants, especially the ones for woody plants (Frankia, etc), which I think are largely of a different type than the ones that live on cover crop plants like clover.

Soil and decomposing organic matter aren't necessarily oxygen poor environments, and in ideal conditions they aren't at all. Depending on factors like soil porosity, and rate/frequency of precipitation, there can actually be quite a lot of gas mechanically exchanged between the soil and the atmosphere (water fills up soil pore spaces and pushes out air, then water drains out of soil pore spaces, pulling air back in). Plant roots can respire atmospheric gases into soil as well. Part of the reason why compacted (ie minimal pore space) soil is harder to grow in than the same soil made friable, is because the lack of porosity causes the soil to go anaerobic, which is inhospitable to a lot of beneficial soil microorganisms.
Show HN: The CTO Field Guide
Hi folks, author here. Someone posted my book here and I can't thank them enough. I'd like to write a bit about it:

I wrote this book after 8 years working with startups and non-startups as a support for new leaders. That was my way of connecting to information I'd not get in my dayjob. There was a lot of information on great books as "Elegant Puzzle" and others so what I wanted to offer was simple guides and solutions for problemas I helped these companies figure out. It is more than a 90 day plan, less than a comprehensive leadership training school.

I also wanted to write something in english (I'm Brazilian) and self publish so I've picked Gumroad and probably will try my hand with Amazon in the future.

It still WiP but I'm planning to finish it before end of 2022. I also publish some short posts at https://gleicon.substack.com to help me improve content before adding to the book.

Hope that helps !
We should call it tracker blocking, anti targeting or something.

I don’t block ads because they are annoying (although they can be). I block ads because of privacy. Seeing an ad for something I searched for on an unrelated site is creepy and unnerving.

Serve ethical ads: use the page content as the only targeting, don’t use third party ad networks. Just show a damn banner.

Does this not pay the bills enough? Is it more work to chase sponsors instead of just linking in an andnet ad? Started a paid subscription but not enough people pay for the subscriptions and with Adblockers more and more pervasive it’s getting hard to keep the lights on?

Then here is my advice: don’t keep the lights on. Your site doesn’t seem needed if the only way to sustain it was using tracking ads.

I, too, am sad. I am deeply attracted to the model of the servant leader and the hero.

I'm particularly attached to leaders who make the best of a bad situation, in her case the retreat of the British Empire. I think courage in retreat is much more rare than courage in victory, and might bring more value to society.

My (our) relationship to Queen Elizabeth seems to stem less from the history or even events, and more from her extensive media depictions, mainly movies and series of late. Many of them focus on her as long-suffering: beset by crises she cannot really control, both emotional and political. Her stalwart response turns out to be the best available - at once non-intrusive, but pointing the way out. When she speaks, it is not to tell people what to do, or what is right and wrong, but to summon our better nature.

I understand this attachment may be seen as emotionally immature and even regressive. In her case, it seems benign. However, something like these sentiments underlies people's attachments to other leaders who seem disruptive to societies and companies.

Modeling heroes is in many ways deeper than even learning a trade, and yet we seem to leave it to chance. Can do better? Can we mourn Queen Elizabeth II without falling prey to false gods?

Okay but the genius of Musk was this computerised car stuff and it's exactly where the traditional car manufacturers fail. Just recently the CEO of VW changed and the important part of the failure of the previous CEO was their shit software on their electric cars.

It's not like Tesla managed to make cheap electric cars? They managed to make cars with good computers and this is something that people actually want.

Essentially, Tesla made the first usable as daily driver electric car by promising stuff that people believed they want(but very hard to make) so they can collect money and make sales but doing stuff that people actually needed(within the reach of the current technology) to live with electric cars.
Ask HN: Job Opportunities for FACS Coders?
Undoubtedly, an average person knowing how to interpret facial expressions and, more broadly, body language and emotions could benefit in many ways in their daily life. However, I am specifically wondering about job opportunities for people intimately familiar with the FACS [0] - whether in tech or beyond. What kind of companies, agencies, or institutions hire these people? What are the possible salary ranges?

> We used to have physical buttons on the TV that we used to change channels and control volume.

And I'm annoyed at the current trend of removing these buttons. It's not rare for the remote control batteries to be empty, or the remote control to be broken (with some buttons not responding to presses), or even the remote control to be lost somewhere in the house (to be found only days later). Having a fallback way to control the TV, at least power/channel/volume/input and preferentially also full access to the configuration menus (using the channel/volume/etc buttons as arrows and confirm/cancel), is essential. Ideally with capacitive buttons, which in my experience do not get broken as easily as normal physical buttons.

>because my goals were not ones that could be objectively measured

This is something that technically-minded people can take to heart more. There's a lot of value in things that can't be objectively measured. For instance, I'm in a bunch of group chats with various friends. I don't always interact with it (i.e., my "engagement" is fairly low), but I derive a lot of enjoyment from those. Why? Because I like those people. Can I put a number on how much I like those people? No, because I'm not a socially stunted robot.
The reason why startups continue to make things that big companies don't is because your assumption that big companies *can* do it is wrong. They cannot due largely to organizational challenges and inertia in one direction or another. It is very rare that a large company successfully continues to innovate indefinitely.
