That's a huge problem. This situation is not something that requires "improvement". It's a well defined, easy to implement, no frills request. And which is particularly tried hard not to be delivered. Any of the parties which are to provide the solution do not use one modicum of brain to solve this. They ignore clear and concise communications and try to play dumb and by the book. Which was the all ask. “Don't play by the book, ignore this part which I particularly don't need“.

Istanbul has left the chat.
Wow. That's honestly quite amazing. Our world would really be incomprehensible to someone just a few hundred years ago
> If the people, i.e. the government

Well that's one issue. The government only weakly equals the people, because of the electoral college disenfranchising voters in NY and CA, lack of ranked choice voting, Black voter disenfranchisement, lack of statehood for DC and Puerto Rico, and the corporatocracy system of influence.

> If the people are unwilling to perform this basic function, private firms shouldn't feel obligated to take the mantle of responsibility.

Sounds made up.
From my experience, usually micro-optimizations (such as optimizing code) don't have a great impact on execution performance than, for example, changing the approach at a higher level (introducing caching, etc), the same may apply on energetic performance I guess.
Maybe it'd be better if that small kid asked you what a goldfish is and you could answer them. I do not want my child to be educated by computers. Asking my dad things about nature, the world and history as a small kid have resulted in conversations that I still cherish to this day. And no formulaic robot response can ever do that justice. In my memories the best responses were when he nudged me to find the answer with questions in return.
exactly what I thought reading this .
The Queen was mostly a symbol, right? It makes sense that you feel sad - it is not just the person who has passed, but also, in part, some essence of that which she symbolized.
and even worse: if you find a snippey of code online, once you read it carefully and you understand that it is safe to run - you might be lazy enough to copy it from the browser and paste it in the terminal. And it can be altered with JS before you copy it so you paste something different from what you have inspected. Of course you can use a buffer (say, a text editor) or even re-type that snippet yourself - but are you sure you'll never forget to do that?
They make everything faster to develop and maintain. Same reason you'd use a framework for anything in any other language. When was the last time you saw a web server implemented with a HTTP-parsing library, instead of a framework for defining endpoints?
I have never heard of this. Why wouldn't you be surprised if your police officer spouse hits you or commits adultery?
Regular non-ui programming is different from ui one.

In a regular straightforward program you apply a change and read it back only when it is needed. Even if that change is cached/computed/transformed/etc, there is only need to observe it when your program execution comes to that part.

In a ui program after doing a change you have to somehow update all the relevant elements/controls that are currently visible on a screen, i.e. replicate the whole state of a program into a graphical context at once (regardless if html or not). This process has associated costs and is pretty error-prone if not addressed systemically. All these frameworks spin around some idea of optimization of it. Since it can't be done without tradeoffs, they invent new ways of thinking about a problem, offloading parts of it via methodological contracts to a developer, who pays their half of the price. Different developers have different opinions on how high the price should be and which trade-offs they should take.

Is it worth it? Sometimes yes, sometimes not really. In my opinion, ideas behind some frameworks are useful by themselves, but in general all this tends to become more religious rather than technical. E.g. if you weigh what "cost" is or how error-prone the straightforward approach is, you may find that for some cases it doesn't really matter.
We should ask the question, since when was money ever NOT manipulated by it's creators (governments and banks). There is no such period in human history. Money is a creation of governments so they can provision themselves. The old story of money coming from barter is a fairy tale. Made up. The problem with the article is that it assumes such a period (money without intervention) is possible or even desirable.
Can't do that if I want to keep my job. Expectations.
Teams like this attract a certain type of person, and it's not a builder. In order to justify your own existence, you have to invent blockers to place in front of people who are actually trying to build things.
it's pretty certain that life in this form would not have formed without gravity though.
I think the author's point was that the interest rates have become decoupled from the information they would otherwise convey, in the absence of government interference. It is not that they are irrelevant, simply that they are not revealing any information about the underlying economy and are in that way "meaningless".

I haven't thought enough about this to know if I agree or not, but that is what I understand the author's thesis to be.

Ask HN: Finding next career gig? via recruiter or network?
How do you go about finding your next career gig? I have just gotten back into corporate world after running a startup.

So I am wondering if there are any tips on how do I leverage my LinkedIn network to find my next gig? I don't want to just post a "Looking for opportunity" post on my linkedin. As I want to have more of a conversational approach (if you know what I mean)

I have also been thinking of getting a recruiter to help me find the next gig. But no idea how to go about it.

So here I am asking for HN wisdom.
This sounds weird. Have you abandoned native apps altogether? You must be using notepads, pdf viewers, terminals, etc. People are still constantly in touch with low latency and low-bug UI and I like to believe that because of this native apps will prevail in some form someday.
I am a solo dev.

I wrote a complete warehouse management system. I wouldn't be able to accomplish this in a relatively short time frame without help of frameworks and libraries. Instead of using vanilla SQL queries I used LINQ. For UI, I used bootstrap, because it made it easy to handle desktop/mobile. For async calls I used old jquery because it worked well enough with .NET and was well documented. Additionally .NET allowed to scaffold models and identity.

I can write a site in JS/HTML/CSS, however, why? I would rather do things quickly with proven frameworks. Size of websites is less of an issues these days. There may be use cases for going pure vanilla but often not the case from a business perspective.
I do not understand how this can be true, given the vast differences in government expenditures across the nation, especially due to things like water and energy costs, maintenance costs from freeze/thaw cycles, and the elephant in the room, underfunded government retiree benefits such as defined benefit pensions and retiree healthcare.

Also, I would much rather pay a higher nominal property tax because my property is worth more than pay a higher nominal property tax because the property tax rate is higher.
I recently interviewed with Facebook and was wholly unimpressed with the team and managers. For a mature company, it still seemed super dysfunctional and chaotic. They also lacked basic industry standards and best practices that basically any other company a fraction of their size would have. I have a feeling when Facebook starts to collapse, it's going to be a really hard and fast fall.
Using pure HTML/JS/CSS is so unopinionated that it's very easy to create spaghetti, and hard to onboard new developers because you have to teach them a lot of 'this is how we do stuff here'.

Don't get me wrong, it's perfectly possible to create spaghetti in React, but it just makes large codebases so much more manageable, and the tooling and ecosystem around it is massive.

Typescript with React and a bundler, linter etc. is just an amazing developer experience, compared to the mess those of us who did front end development in the past remember.
Actually, you seem to misunderstand the difference from being critical of someone and being rancid and celebrating their death.

And honestly, I think there is something wrong with celebrating the death of a woman who had no power and whose primary job was being a mascot. If you think she did have any power you clearly misunderstand the political landscape of the countries she was the mascot for.
So their solution to that shift in their market is to become more stodgy?
This surely looks interesting, the entire product looks good.
Honestly to edit video there are a lot of things that should just easier, and runaway seems to do that.

And its seems to be a web app, so it runs everywhere, the pricing seems to be OK.

> Then we end up with an economic system wherein winners are selected not on the basis of their adherence to the needs of working people, but on the basis of their adherence to the whims of government bureaucrats.

You mean like Uber or WeWork? Just remove "government" and it works just as well. Let's not pretend that the government is the only entity that distorts the market and pushes through preferred solution regardless of "the needs of working people".
I can't read the whole thing but my initial question is answered in the subtitle.

> Researchers have quantum entangled atomic clocks, allowing them to be synchronised more accurately. Such entangled clocks could be used to study dark matter and gravity more precisely.

So now we have clocks more accurate than regular atomic clocks.
You don't see a problem with the culture _because_ you have been there 14 years. If you had a negative impact of the culture, you likely would have left. Survivor bias.

There are a significant amount of people who disagree with you (on blind, with amazon proof of employment). They would be in the non-survivor-bias group.
Absolutely mind-blowing that their first response was to give Bob busywork instead of sitting down with him and reassuring him that everything is fine and it's ok to slow down a bit and maybe give him 1-2 days where he's able to do free-form research that could lead to company-wide improvements.
From another Silicon Valley veteran: this was a horizontal team that lost its exec sponsor and so didn't have a clear way to make impact. This kind of thing happens all the time at companies and panicking is uncalled for.
Who thinks the invasion of Iraq is funny or glorified? It is almost universally seen as appalling in the US today.
Huh. Never heard of There Gister.com before
As I've said before, it's very highly likely they are not actually repairing the unit by replacing the battery -- IMO that's false advertising to make them look "green".

The plastic halves of the earbud casings are ultrasonically sealed together; you have to break them apart to get at the guts (and IIRC the battery is also soldered in). Just look up the iFixit teardown; they're completely unrepairable. My bet is, they are just swapping them out with refurbs or new units and writing off the loss against their AppleCare earnings.
As I said, the 2-year period mandated by law is not a standard warranty, isn't as comprehensive and usually has a different name because of that. Most companies know that it's not worth it to debate people about it and just offer 2-3 years. Apple doesn't at least officially, it's also not a big secret that they've denied responsibility for faults in their products in the past.

Though on average Apple most likely isn't the worst company to deal with.
Well that’s silly, by that logic no one is ever qualified to ever be skeptical about anything because every single person in existence lives in a bubble of their own variety.

I mean you’re in your own bubble making this judgement right now - is it inconceivable to you that someone has truly met some extremely intelligent people and what I’m saying follows about Bob here?

Maybe time to get out of your own bubble ;).
Cassac is correct, no one cares. Snark won’t make you right.
Yeah this does seem like a pretty significant bias. Though different than the normal significant bias of college age students that many of these frequently sample from.

The government spending grows to fit available revenues, and available revenues grow to fit whatever the taxpayers can still bear.
Vishnu Wood, who played on the album (and used to host a jam session we'd go to when I was in college), did an interview with Rolling Stone about it. [1] His guru was (is?) Satchitananda and he introduced her to him.

There's a Facebook page for "Makras Real Estate" which is a really scummy property manager in the Bay Area. Nearly every review is fake on their Facebook page and from someone with with profile pictures of sunsets, dogs, cars, and usually less than 10 friends an no other posts. I reported a couple dozen posts since they were very obviously fake reviews from fake profiles. Facebook did the same thing as in your example and didn't take anything down.

Don't trust any reviews on Facebook--assume they are all fake.

my cat is a very mellow lap cat, and has had the fortune of being socialized quite a bit (she has a space backpack that she can travel in, and was a frequent guest at a local pub while they were open). thus, on her last vet trip, the doctor was shocked that she was purring, in a happy non-stressed way.

of course, that meant for a stop at another pub that she's welcome at on the way home, for some more special on-the-bar time.
I’ll continue to use my critical faculties and exercise my own judgment as I see fit.
It's like reading that BP disbands their team for renewable energy innovation. Am I supposed to be sad? I'm not. I don't care. It was all fake from the very beginning even if the team had many people who were naive enough to think otherwise.

The point of such teams is not to improve ethics. The point is to have enough credibility to affect the discussion. (E.g. observe how much "research" in AI ethics has financial ties to large companies that are heavily invested in AI-based products at the time.)

What a properly ethical corporation would do is openly admit conflicts of interests and listen to external feedback.
Go's vanilla HTTP server lib gets pretty close to being not much more than an HTTP parsing library. Some people pull in a routing library, but a lot of times its all done manually by processing off the incoming http.Request struct.

I don't think it started with warehouse workers, there was a famous NYT article talking about office workers at Amazon where entire teams would leave a meeting in tears:

Exactly. This is the right explanation.
Foobar didn't really scratch the same itch for me as Winamp. Foobar felt more like it wanted to ingest/organize my entire library, which never appealed to me because my library was 1TB+ and it would take a lifetime to fix every album with some bad tags.

Winamp much better fit my workflow, which is: I wanna right-click a folder on my desktop that houses the specific album I want to play, click "Play in Winamp", and have the music player launch quietly in the system tray and throw up the occasional notification when the track changes.
I recently received a mail from them which was like "We found your profile interesting, so we automatically created a profile for you in our career web and will notify you about any matching job openings", all after I turned them down multiple times in the past. I basically just said whatever and let it go.
The monomyth is itself a myth not science.

Is this how people really interpret people like J. Campbell (and J. Peterson)? I don't take him so literally. When a meta-story is described I imagine it is described not in a general abstract way (as in mathematical laws) but in a list of prototypes and archetypes that also contain aspects that are idiosyncratic and don't apply generally. I guess you could think of it as the synthesis of the specific and the general done in a wise way. That is lossy compression + mnemonic additions of non-general properties.

That is the hero's journey is a meta-myth not an abstract general law like the Pythagorean theorem. The reason that mythological communication (and meta-mythological communication) as opposed to precise, mathematical/scientific communication is used is because it serves more purposes than just an attempt at perfect predictability. Like memorability and being widely understood by even children.

I just thought of Campbell as saying "here are some interesting comparative parallels that contain interesting some tendencies", but the general implicit point is that of the lesson of developmental processes being nonmonotonic.

That is development occurs through periodic degenerate movement. This is even true of the nonliving world. My chemistry knowledge is zero, but I wonder if this applies to even nucleosynthesis (the emergence of the periodic table). That is opposing periodic trends create a progression of electron configurations and so the energy levels have degeneracies. (but in this example I don't remember if the degeneracies have to be "moved through")

Also in chemistry we have the idea of a reaction barrier. In the domain of consciousness people speaking of a metaphor to annealing from metallurgy. This pattern is ubiquitous and in mythology and psychology is about the value of progressively and iteratively confronting our fears. More generally it is just about the concept of indirection.
I like to build things in ways where I try and avoid the use of JavaScript if I can, using vanilla typescript for most things that do need that. I really like seeing what is possible in pure CSS for stuff like animations if I can completely avoid doing it in JS/TS while still looking fresh. The component based frameworks make a ton of sense for when your project gets large and worked on by a ton of people though. Personally for most small things I don't think you need them, and a lot of more novice developers really rely on ridiculously fat npm packages which impact site performance - often what I end up doing is finding alternatives in that ecosystem which are smaller and more well written, it's not all hot garbage but a ton of it is unnecessary bloat. Most of these frameworks are very similar and easy to adapt to once you have learned one or two of them but they definitely can lead to a website that weighs like 5 megabytes for no reason.

I once inherited a project where the front end was split between like +20 different react projects across that many git repos which we really had to twist the arm of the original developer to get access to. That's definitely an example of doing it wrong.
I think the closest to a 'low gravity' environment is the oceans. So I suspect yes, life would form in low gravity environments. It would likely have more rotational symmetry vs mirror symmetry land animals have. You see a hint of that in ocean life where things are more...round.
The plastic halves of the earbud casings are ultrasonically sealed together; you have to break them apart to get at the guts (and IIRC the battery is also soldered in). Just look up the iFixit teardown; they're completely unrepairable.

Their lifespan is, at best, the lifespan of the battery (in terms of useful recharge cycles). This is the dirty secret of the vast majority of wireless earbuds on the market, regardless of their cost.
Whatsapp drives me crazy with this too. You can only mute for 8 hours, 1 week, or forever. No other options. Just let me choose how long to mute for, a billion dollar corporation could surely afford that. And a single 'custom' button wouldn't ruin the 'clean UI' or whatever they're trying to maintain.

This problem is an annoyance. The slowness of Teams, however, is unforgivable. There's no excuse why a chat app from 2022 should run slower on an 8 core Xeon with 64GB of RAM than MSN Messenger did on my Pentium box in 2000.

I have something similar as well - basically reliving my childhood computing experience when computing felt so exciting. I got all my childhood games (Age of Empires, Midtown Madness, etc.) installed as well as software from the day as well. I found Digital Blasphemy wallpapers which capture the late 90s/early 2000s feelings as well. It feels good to power the VM on and just listen to an old MP3 collection as well as play some games.
