One of the most disappointing things that I have learned is that most people hold opinions in order to be part of some group. If someone is a member of a group, it is almost not worth listening to their arguments, especially arguments in support of views held strongly by that group. They are arguing in order to maintain their group membership, not to find the truth. It appears this is true of academic and scientific disciplines as much as anywhere else.
I work with a couple of Qt-based applications on a day to day basis, and every time I interact with the applications engineers or R&D, it makes me think that Qt is a huge pain to work with. They take the forever to make any improvements or add new features, and the core application is still horribly buggy and unstable. Am I on the right track with Qt as the culprit or is it more of a legacy code or poor PM type thing? Curious what kind of experience HN folks have had using Qt.
Millions of programmers will collaborate on projects so vast as to be beyond human comprehension. Our AI managers will force us to work for food, water, and air from bunkers along the Sierra coastline. The civilian reservations around the Once Great Lakes will get continuous feeds of psychedelic stimulation by cranial fiber optic cable. All hail President Hypno Toad.
One interesting question that isn't really addressed in the article or the comments here is what advice applies to folks who don't really want to move beyond the staff engineer (IC track) or senior manager (management track) level. I have not heard of anyone getting penalized at the staff level for short stints; though I do agree with the gist of this comment and article at the principal engineer (IC) or director (management) levels.

Companies across the industry are well known and notorious for having 4 year cliffs. HR often has no interest in keeping a good senior/staff level developer. Furthermore, companies are also known for making subsequent promotions harder than the first and are more than happy to let developers stagnate - managers at most companies are not responsible for providing growth opportunities beyond the so called "terminal levels" which is roughly senior/staff at most places.

The easiest way for many to keep learning, keep compensation in line with the market, and continue working on interesting projects is to simply hop for a new opportunity after a few years; cliff just makes the choice easier most of the time.

At least from what I have seen, one has to be really fortunate to have good managers/leaders (who can help with some of these issues) and/or a company which aligns very well with one's own goals over a long period of time. I don't believe either of these are common.

> the calendar we live by today was personally designed by Julius Caesar

Pope Gregory has entered the chat

there have been some changes to the calendar since Caesar, especially when people went to bed Thursday 4 October 1582 and woke up on Friday 15 October 1582, and thereafter there were no more leap years on centuries except every 400 years.

The fact that my family, my kid needs me helps immensely to the point where you simply have no time to suffer from personal issues.
> for vegetarians/vegans you are either in, or you are morally bankrupt. It reminds me a lot of religions/cults shaming.

Of course, because it’s often underpinned by a subjectively moralistic worldview. Frankly this is a turn off to me as much as the diet itself. I could never be a vegan because I enjoy meat too much, but also I wouldn’t want the association with that movement and the reputation it has.

I can't talk about details but I know of large industry-leading aerospace manufacturers who don't use MMC for flight parts because they need batch-level part tracking for failure investigations, and MMC doesn't offer that.
> Totally agree re: the current state of repairability and support

Is the target market really concerned about this? I’ll chew through a $200-300 pair of shoes in 4-6 weeks, and I’m more-or-less a casual runner. The cost of attending events is much more than that. I probably would buy a Garmin if I was really taking things seriously, but the Apple Watch does what I need, and even if I brought a brand new one every year it wouldn’t have much impact on the costs of this hobby.
To the point, the photorealistic Lion King doubled the box office of Coco ($1.6B vs $800M). No comparison on what’s better art. Respect that the same company does both.
I hope that the availability of using device-based (using the built-in hardware in a device they're less likely to lose like a phone/laptop) or account based (like the passkeys synced to iCloud/Google/Microsoft) will help mitigate the issue of people losing them. Regardless of which option they use though, they should treat them like home/car keys and have backups in place.

As for the biometrics, when people talk about biometrics for authentication, they are usually talking about using the biometrics to unlock something stored securely on a device. Without the device that has the actual credential being used, the biometric that has been copied doesn't do attackers much good.
> If we fixed it, then innumerable generations after us would not have to deal with the problem.

In day to day use, I'd argue the date and time system works perfectly fine. I know when my birthday is, I know when Christmas is, I know when my next dentist appointment is. I'm not confused because months have different days or that the day is broken into 24 hours.

Date and time systems for the most part are useful to us for social and cultural reasons. It works perfectly fine. It may seem "silly" that it's arbitrarily broken up into irregular months, but I'm not sure what we would gain if we used some new date system.

Yes, computing the difference between two days is complicated, but when we're dealing with date-time in computing, we generally do not use year/month/day in our computations, but instead use some epoch number and convert to localized formats as needed for display.
It's aspirational. Apple Watch Ultra is great for wanna be athletes, not actual ones.
It's problematic because both sides have political backgrounds: The West would like to take advantage of the current chaos to perpetrate a possible revolution. The Iranian government is aware of that, and that regardless of the truth about the death of the girl it's going to be used against it.

The public has reasons not to believe the government story. You have to understand that the "morality police" has nothing to do with morality and it's a result of the power structures making the current Iranian society. In a way, the "morality police" makes the Iranian government weaker and not stronger but it's a ruling tool. This day-to-day ruling tool and its resulting stability comes at the cost of the possible revolution when the general population have had enough.

Will this time be the one? Who knows but at this time the sanctions can come in very handy. (if not for making this successful, they'd be used as leverage of the next negotiations round)
Nah you know what, all these claims we have hard AI? You don't see people claim it explicitly but you see incredible artifacts. What is the deal? They are incredible! They cannot be believed! So just today I was reading an article on the China Times, in English, and it said all the elements recoverable from a salt flat, something something lithium strontium and strontium. 0 comments. So I post a comment, respectfully, I do respect China don't want to question them going against the grain, so I said "Strontium and strontium? Different isotopes?" So that's a machine mistake--which is fine, I don't discriminate against machines--or perhaps...just careless? Or different isotopes, so different subscripts that got lost in the medium. Many possibilities. At any rate, I sent the comment, took responsibility for it, and it's a typo so it's what you're supposed to do. It can happen to anybody.

Regardless the article had otherwise perfect spelling and grammar, along with www.rt.com the writing is very very polished, way better than American newspapers. And I like them more because they, like me, learned English overseas. Going to America fucks up your American English. It's best to learn English overseas, don't learn it by living in America. Just become lazy, stop actually printing a page out and taking an actual red pen at it, then updating, repeatedly. There's no substitute. And the articles make more sense, all written by bilinguals. Same way I prefer watching a movie in English language, with the subtitles in Spanish, redundant information, otherwise it kind of sucks.

The more sophisticated the machine learning heuristics--not algorithms, never algorithms--the more embarrassing the error. Less frequent, but more embarrassing. Can't say it applies to China Times, but it's always ambiguous, man or machine error? In the end it's the same, man communicates through machines, like computers, made by man.

Only exception is face-to-face communication.

This great advice whenever a piece of media is making you angry. We’re probably justified in being angry at these soulless assembly line remakes, but spending your time and energy complaining does no one any good.

400% rise in tech salary? Where is this happening? In your dreams?
All government revenues are the result of taxing citizens. Citizens only have money to be taxed if they are employed in productive money-generating enterprises.

If the laws and regulations of the nation are such that the citizens can’t make money, then the government has no choice but to cut taxes and regulations until private business can flourish again. Otherwise it’s a never ending strangling of business, lower revenues, lower tax takes, and so on in a downward spiral.

I can’t think of any other way out of the problem except enhanced productivity and trade. The government can’t tax what the citizens don’t make. Post-brexit and at the total end of the empire, Britain needs to become something like Singapore or Dubai - a hyper-capitalist free-trade haven.

Of course this will only happen after 10+ years of failure, leading to an erosion of living standards and endless finger pointing and blame. You are already seeing the collapse of the NHS and the FTSE lacking any global relevance.

Yes. And if someone knows books or discussions about this topic I want the names. Its such a strong force in social structures. Stating your truth is rarely possible, you better sing along and talk down in smaller sub groups later.
Eh... I think there is an enormous gap between “pro athlete” and “normal smartwatch user” that does not diminish to just “fashionware”. The battery life sucks tho, thats what keeps me from using one. I think the health and exercise features are more than fine enough for “non-pro athletes”. No idea what “renting from apple” means but it does not seem to be the watch for you.
Most orders pay full cost of shipping. This was an atypical experience.
Art Against Despair is a book put together by The School of Life. It's arranged with one page of text for each image, so it's an easy serving size when you don't have much time or attention. These are not nice pictures of flowers but, for example, why it's worth spending some time gazing into one of Rothko's black canvases, and for that matter, the darkness inside one's own being.
I can agree that money != fun but !money == !fun.
I’ve been hanging on to my Series 3 for years now waiting on a watch refresh that brings another useful sensor or expands the screen large enough to make the watch usable for at least viewing Twitter-size content.

Along comes the Ultra with a massive footprint and a temperature sensor (albeit one only useful for monitoring averages). My time has finally arrived.

And then it turns out that the usable screen size is essentially a rounding error compared to the Series 7 and the temp sensor is limited to reproductive tracking (guessing this is a regulatory thing).

Ah well, maybe next year.
Yup. There's also no Bluetooth audio stack right now, so even if you could put your music on it you wouldn't be able to connect your headphones. :-(

I know this isn’t exactly a counterpoint, since “The belief will not change when the reasons are defeated. The causality is reversed. People believe the reasons because they believe in the conclusion.” — but I have changed my political views dramatically and repeatedly over the course of the past decades. Of course, I could disprove the conclusion by accepting it based on the evidence, but I don’t want the universe to collapse in on itself due to paradox, so I won’t.
I love the idea of a four-day workweek but I have to be honest that while my productivity might be lower on Friday afternoons, by the time I've hit eight hours in a day, I'm usually mentally spent. Adding on more time to the work day might ultimately lead to less productivity overall, at least for me.
They are sunsetting future OS feature updates for it, not the hardware itself. Plus they release security patches for some older devices as well. Eg iPhone 8 supports latest OS, but they just released a patch for OS that supports iPhone 5s, which came out 9 years ago.
I don't think it was meant as an absolutist assertion.
Last I checked they don’t deliver to Canada so not the best site I have used as I couldn’t order the parts I needed. They were the only one who had the part I needed so had to get an American friend to buy it and ship it to me afterwards. I really hope they can see Canadians would buy from them if we could.
Since this is a silly useless thread, I hope it isn’t karma suicide to say … that’s the old (now antiquated) world order, the new world order is thought control. It will take decades for this to become apparent.
those exist??
You are comparing two different periods with completely different environments. You would take todays world any day for virtually anything of the human condition nowadays, thats not an argument to justify copyright at all.
The devices continue to work the exact same way… apple just does not choose to spend the money adding new features to it (or in more likelihood, testing that new features that require newer hardware do not screw the old device up). The watches still appear in the Watch app etc. If there is a bug to fix (like security), the device/versions will often end up getting out of band updates for even longer.
Not exactly what you're talking about but IPFS seems cool for storing stuff.
I think it is the other way around. When people are part of a group the view of the group becomes their own. Most of the thoughts that you think aren't really your own. It is simply a script written by the society around you.

For example: Someone born and brought up in the West would think that children don't owe anything to their parents because it was their parent's choice to have them.

While someone born and brought up in the East would think that they owe everything to their parents because they gave them the gift of life and because of all the sacrifices they made for their kids.

You can't convince someone in the West to think anything otherwise than that stated above. They are utterly convinced that that is is truth and likewise the reverse for someone born and brought up in the East.
Fenix 5 owner here who recently upgraded to the Ultra. For daily stuff and "normal" workouts, it's way more useful. I get alerts from my cameras with useable images when they detect faces around our house, for example. I can do useful things like watch my grill temp + probe temp from the watch. The face customization experience is a LOT better than the Fenix. It feels like an entirely different class of device with the responsive touchscreen and bright screen that refreshes quickly. The Fenix feels like a souped-up version of the Timex Ironman Triathlon watch I had in the 90s (with Timex Datalink to sync data with a PC via CRT flashes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timex_Datalink ).

As far as which I'd take backpacking: neither. The Fenix isn't a better UX than our iPhones, and we already take battery backups for the phones + put them on airplane mode with low brightness and get ~2-4 days of battery life out of them that way (usually shutting them down completely at night). The watches aren't worth the grams yet -- it's weight I'd rather spend on a nice phone pocket for my backpack (I like the Prometheus Design Werx SPX Pouch). I'm hopeful that another year of software updates for the Ultra might fix that -- if it did have useable topo maps + dynamic offline route planning, it might be worth it.

The other big benefit I see is cellular. Now, when I go for a run / bike ride / etc I don't actually need my phone, and if I'm confident that I might stop somewhere with Apple Pay, I might not need my wallet either. Back when I was riding pretty seriously, it was common for folks to just bring their ID and some cash. I'm also excited about the prospect of using the watch as a fully-featured bike computer, given it's about the exact same size as the old Polar bike computers I used to love.

These are just standard parts though. Misumi's real configuration flexibility comes from parts that are parametrically defined. For example you can basically design a shaft by specing the material, coating, diameter, length, tolerances, and additional parametric features (external threading, tapped holes, flats, grooves, etc).

Here's an example: https://us.misumi-ec.com/vona2/detail/110302399810/

Once you've specified the parameters, it generates a price table including quantity discounts.
For me, the quality of Disney movies has been in a downward trend ever since Walt Disney himself died, but if you look at the whole of the Disney catalog, you'll see that they always produced a lot of films that are best forgotten.
Parts of it yes. The day/month/year thing though is fundamenally based on astronomical observations that dont fit into each other with fractions (rotation of earth around sun, orbit of moon around earth, orbit of earth around sun) which is kind of missed here.

A very simple, activity/status based social network (think almost discord status) would be sweet. I personally don't think it's likely for any such network to get critical mass if there is any chance a credit card/payment is required. At $1/yr you should just make it free and either ask for donations (wikipedia style) or find another non-intrusive way to monetize.
Most enterprise servers use external storage arrays.

What's unbelievable is the scale of the ops, the high quality of ppl, and the amount of work that happens behind the scenes and yet the output is garbage. Money making garbage for sure.

A large majority of people are just locked into processes of the mega machine without having any say into what the output is.

So when someone does this stand up routine or makes a speech, which happens regularly, all you get is pin drop silence.

Once these money printing processes start up the chimp troupe looses control over them. And its happening faster and faster.

Some ppl still believe we are on a ship where if you cry loud enough the captain gets moved to change heading.

But corporations don't resemble ships anymore. They resemble hurricanes. The reason for the pin drop silence is no one can change the heading.

So the only worthwhile thing to do, if you have a choice, is to go work on something controllable. Or break the machine.
Just curious, are images intentionally all grayscale? Or just a legacy thing.
> During my travels in the UK I heard lots of Brits complain about the price of train tickets.

It's that it is often cheaper and faster to drive if you are not taking a train in or out of London.

> This might surprise British readers, but I have nothing but good things to say about the reliability and punctuality of trains in the UK.

The problem is that when the train is delayed, it can end up as cancelled as they have a specific time window to fit in. Again, the comparison here would be a car. You could end up in traffic, but eventually at least you will reach your destination.

As somebody living outside of London, I have zero time for somebody complaining that the tube was 1 minute late. Try waiting several hours, just to find the train won't be coming at all.

Anyway, it is really weird to hear so much positive about the UK rail system. Any good there will likely get demolished in the coming recession and energy crisis. I have no idea how rail will still be viable during the coming rolling blackouts.
Same with the PS2 as a DVD player.

People forget there was a time when DVD players weren't cheap.
There are a lot of reasons why tenure might be short, but many short tenures, I agree are alarming because people are more lenient when a developer "ramps" up. If they are able to stick around and get promoted, that's a strong counter signal.

I'm curious, but not to pry the exact details, how long are your tenures on average -- and would you similiarly penalize someone who worked at one company for many years?
