It might not necessarily work everywhere, but here is my experience. I live in Italy and work for the US. The company I work for specializes in a well known free software project. I contributed a few patches to that project, then met a few people from the project at FOSDEM over a beer and spent a couple of pleasant afternoons with them. I then applied and was given a technical test, but I have good reasons to believe that those patches and beers were crucial in later receiving an offer.
I have relatives on an island with a permanent population of about ~200 that cooperatively own their store
I certainly don’t think I’m the target audience for plant meat. As a vegetarian, I don’t actually want my burger to look it taste like meat. I like to know that what I’m eating isn’t meat, and I see no need to blur the lines and enable someone to accidentally serve it to me.
Edit; sorry I misread your comment somehow! I will leave my response anyway. But it is not actually relevant to your comment; sorry about that. I agree with you, I guess the ‘even compared’ threw me off; laravel is pretty painless imho so maybe it does actually apply?

What is bad about laravel for development experience? I don’t like php or js or, dare I say it, ts (I don’t mind the language and like the type system but the tooling is so rotten; hope deno will fix things), so I often experiment in projects by taking something else like Phoenix, IHP or Dioxus etc and it’s nice, but you always run into the lack of help when stuck. I did a large project with a team with laravel the past months and was really surprised how productive it is; we did basically the impossible in a very short time. Mostly because plug-ins and the bizarre amount of capable people willing to help all over the place.

Still don’t like the language but it’s very productive and robust imho.

Wordpress I did quite a lot with as well but I will never like it; it is too messy to be clean and too clean to be a mess; it doesn’t fit my way of thinking either way.

I feel real joy not having to use JS for anything though; things like liveview/livewire/blazor/dioxus etc really make my life better.
> I once captured the Linux boot screen of a United Boeing 737 infotainment system.

I used to work adjacent to these exact systems...they're so bad.

Like, 10+ minute boot at times, or assigning multiple devices to the same IP, or the communication network just randomly dying... (and this was all in vitro testing)

It was still cool to see "the rack", aka an entire planes infotainment system setup on a rolling cart including however many seat backs each plane was supposed to have. They had multiple office buildings that were essentially full of these, because each airline and deployment was different enough that they didn't want to have to reconfigure when needing to test them.
> If it was half the price, I might order it again. Instead, it’s a premium.

This is a common issue for all things vegan, organic, etc. they are always - and I am not exaggerating here - a premium. The issue I think is partially scale and partially subsidies. The only way to get the cost down is if the government stops subsidizing the stuff that’s bad for the environment, starts forcing the externalities to be priced and internalized in their costs, and maybe even uses some tax revenue on these things to subsidize the alternative stuff that’s good for the environment to get the scale up.
What rules there are rules? Ban my account I will make a new one until you ban Tor and make an article about how Tor is toxic. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM, DICKFUCK.

In your world, everything is okay, we can pretend the latest script kiddie software that flings local URLs around is fine. In your world, since everyone is pretending all the broken stuff doesn't exist (in order to be "civilized"), more broken stuff is made, as the developers have the illusion that garbage status quo is good. This is how HN works. It's hilariously true. Everything people here make is clones of the same terrible concepts like convention over configuration (which make auditing harder and shitcoding easier).

Internet moderation is the single most useless concept ever invented.
I just don’t see any future where I won’t be eating meat.

My grandparents and cousins raise farm animals; I’ve helped raise farm animals: horses, oxen, cows, chickens, pigs, goats…

What stops a family from raising their own hamburgers? In my vision, it’s a lot cleaner and easier to understand than lab grown meat.

I was just talking to my grandpa, in Europe, he was laughing at the news about needing to eat insects in the future, he also mentioned no one he knows would have trouble sourcing meat in any vision of the future.

(Edit: downvote me all you want with no comment but this is a part of reality no matter how much you ignore it; good luck convincing generational farmers, that grow their own food, to start getting pre-frozen insect meat or meat alternatives, delivered to them from god knows where.)

Fast food burgers don’t taste much worse than frozen or even just refrigerated store-bought patties. Neither are tasty.

I guess the pre-made plant burgers will be close to pre-made meat burgers.

I wonder if you can make your own burger out of soy granules, which I found to be the closest to ground beef when properly spiced during rehydration. I should try that some time.

Tanget: Americans in Germany often say our McD tastes better. I find that fascinating, as McD here tastes absolutely horrible to me.
Two things can be true. 40 is mid-career, and tech's ageism includes it: https://www.businessinsider.com/we-hire-old-people-ageism-te...
Building capital and controlling things is good for individuals or families, but less so for large, uncoordinated organisations, especially governments. If I, an individual, own a shop, I'm incentivized to make it profitable- in this small town case, I'm incentivized to stock things people want to buy, to reduce waste, and so on. (Or to bail out and sell the premises if the economic conditions don't make sense anymore). Making the shop better makes me richer.

If I'm a wage-paid employee in a large shop (or any organization), then I'm looking to a) not get fired b) get a raise c) get a promotion. The bigger and more bureaucratic the organization, the more personnel decisions tend to become disconnected from ground truths and the more it becomes possible to rise through politics, whether or not the shop gets better. The people at the top, e.g. the owners of Walmart, want their shops to be more efficient, but if line worker #529 doesn't think he'll be paid more for making his local shop 5% more efficient, then he won't- and if there are more reliable ways up, he'll take those.

When a government owns/runs the shop, even the people at the top don't care about it making money- it's not their money to lose! The shop is probably useful as a political tool/division point, though. Imagine left-right debates about whether the government store should stock condoms, or meat, or whatever.

"Use boring technology" - Laravel, MySQL, Fly.io for hosting

We automate nearly all aspects of the business as well. If a task needs to be done more than once, it's worth automating. GitHub actions to test/deploy, admin pages for all activities such as marketplace submissions, payouts, tax reports, chargebacks/refunds ... If there is ever a problem with a purchase, we have ways to reply and refund all with the click of a button.

We recently switched from a VPS to Fly.io and PlanetScale as well and it's been working quite nicely. As we grow to more regions, it's nice to know we can deploy servers close to our users with a single command.
This feels more like spam to me. The guy did zero research an just pulls numbers out of thin air.

There is: they could just say "We are going to eventually follow Google/remove it, albeit maybe not today".
Suddenly Firefox is interesting and Chrome is not. We need to stop thinking of people as users and start thinking them computer owners. Users work when you are sharing a computer, but for installed software, we should think owner instead.
> To be fair and with no personal offense intended, this sounds more like a case of PEBKAC rather than specifically a Windows deficiency.

It's specifically a deficiency of the OS when it decides that the work you purchased the computer for is not as important as the work that Microsoft wants the computer to do.

No vendor, OS or otherwise, should decide that using the consumers computer for their (vendor's) own purposes is more important than the work that the computer was purchased for.

> To be clear, I agree Windows's forced, silent autoupdates and reboots are crimes against humanity, but "losing work I did not save" is hardly something that only applies to Windows and is a lesson we all learn the hard way eventually.

"Losing work I did not save because I forgot" is different from "the computer decided to discard all my work while I was working"

If you're in the middle of driving to work, and your car decides to pull over because Ford wants to do something is very different to driving to work and running out of fuel.

If you forget/refuse to fill fuel, that's on you when you get stuck. If you did everything right and still the car pulls over because the manufacturer wants to do something, that's not on you.
Indeed.

But for the record, the author has since found the issue, and in this case it indeed was a bug in the first patch that was inadvertently fixed by a later patch in the series:

Being able to churn out programming answers is at best 50% of the necessary skill for an engineer, but in practice quite a bit lower.

I’d rather hire 10 people who can communicate well and teach them programming than hire 10 people who can churn out individual code and teach them to communicate as part of a team.
I don't think this would yield the best hires and the best dev teams
It's hard to take you seriously on this topic when you don't seem to recognize a deliberate, consistent, implementation of strategic ambiguity.
Programmers doubled every 5 years for 20 years. That's at least part of the reason.
If anything, its low. Why? Well seeing things like this all the time:

The sibling comment has a link to the poll.
Most stocks have been taking a massive hit and valuations are down near 2020s lows for the first time. Reads like opportunism to knock on new market entrants through a bit piece.

Are they going to claim EVs are failing next, too? How about solar? Why not go all out.
I've thought the same thing. A tech that lets you consume data from web sites but visualize it in any way you want. Despite the naysayers in other replies I think it is possible
“But the consumer environment is tough, and this stuff is not cheap,” he added. “It’s going to take time to change cultural practices. It’s not going to happen overnight.”

There's a hint of authoritarianism in that statement. 'change cultural practices' confers a sense of social engineering to the intent here. People don't like to be told what to eat. It has to be significantly better than the standard option.
I've been vegan for nearly a quarter century. Part of the problem is that deliberately positioning the fake meat products as, well, "fake meat" will forever create unreasonable expectations by way of comparisons. I have only the faintest recollection of what a hamburger, or steak, or fried chicken tastes like but if my experience were more recent, then I would probably reject the vegetarian alternatives if they were positioned as comparable in the market.

But I think fast-food places have few alternatives to this practice. Outside of the fast food world, it's easier because restaurants are at greater liberty to not be constrained by the typical ways that animal flesh is shaped and used.

It's a shame, because occasionally, those who don't eat animal products end up in social situations where they have to eat at fast-food places and are often left eating nothing.
There's kind of a bias in that hiring decisions based on social connections have a bad reputation by default. This bias is of course based on experience and natural intuition about how corruption sets in. However, when you hire someone who is going to interact with you many hours out of every day, wouldn't it make sense to find someone you get along with?

I know I am the most productive when the completion of my tasks can help coworkers I get along with very well.
Boy was this thing hyped!

I remember during the peak hype I was super eager to try it. People were saying it's indistinguishable from real meat and will cause a revolution! Even as a meat lover, I was honestly super excited when [either "Impossible" or "Beyond", don't remember which] burger came to my country. It was the first (and only) time in my life when I was excited to try a vegan burger. This will change everything!

I had it at a very nice restaurant. And it was... extremely underwhelming. I remember thinking to myself "really? that's it?". It tasted exactly like those supermarket veggie burgers my vegetarian sister used to microwave in the early to mid 90s. You know, those veggie patties that are obviously not meat, and have too much spices on them to try to mask it and pretend to be something else. Not gross, just meh. An ok side dish at most.

I guess it was all about having really, really good PR.

Still excited for lab-made meat, though. Maybe some day.
Oh, yeah, AIX is perhaps the only UNIX kernel out there that can preempt itself out of RAM into a swap space in nearly its entirety under a heavy memory shortage pressure, with the exception of the disk interrupt handler – to swap itself back in later, thanks to its peculiar VM subsystem design. It is no longer a material feature to have but is cool nevertheless.
Of course it can, there are companies shipping products written in bare metal Go.

> Totally agree. I think the fake meat people are too worried about the taste, not enough about the cost.

Every few years a lawsuit or accusation about the absence of meat comes up in the media cycle, Taco Bell and Subway are favorite targets. If I hear that Taco Bell is selling non-meat tacos as meat tacos and people are enjoying them, to me that's good news and they should be encouraged to share their tactics.

Food that is cheap, nutritious, palatable, and doesn't cause a lot of damage in its production is good. We should use whatever tactics we can. Compromising any of these too much is not good.
The plant based meat alternatives are more expensive. It's a newer, smaller scale manufacturing process and regular meat benefits from US agricultural subsidies.

I switched from sirloin burgers (~$1.30/patty) to beyond burgers (~$2/patty). I found the taste and texture of Beyond Burgers to be better than Impossible burgers, but neither is as good as the sirloin burgers. Cooking them on a smoker narrows the flavor gap. Beyond burgers are lower fat and 100 calories less per patty, the primary reason I made the substitution and one of reasons I haven't switched back.

General comment about salt: packaged foods in the US are overloaded with salt and your doctor will be happier if you never add salt to what's on your plate.

>We did something similar where I live. A new owner wanted to reopen the grocery store, and the town collected around $100.000 to get her started. A few people work for free a few hours a week, stocking shelfs and stuff like that. In the end though, it's a business and she needs to turn a profit. The people in the town are motivated to shop there, because if the store closes, the value of their homes will fall dramatically.

Sounds like you guys did the opposite: give a private owner a cheap loan and free volunteer labor. Hope she's at least opening up the books to you guys.
Ultimately meat substitutes are yet more processed crap. If you want to try to cut down meat, I'd recommend trying any number of cuisines that have culturally evolved largely around plant based foods and sustainable fish. Most cuisines outside Europe-influenced world don't have a hunk of meat as the main event for every meal

This directly contradicts nearly everything that was stated by Snowden, where his identity is not only known and affirmed, but also came with extensive documentation affirming, more or less, everything he said. For one such example, here's a fun manual from the NSA on spying on Skype in realtime [1].

It even comes with a handy Q&A technical FAQ like ensuring you can also get the chat of the person the target is speaking to, or why you might receive multiple copies of one message (a target that is synching on another device has all of that data forwarded onto the NSA as well, so you get repeat messages). Quite user friendly! I'd love to see the UI.

Incidentally, I'm not saying you're lying. The reality is that most of government is just bureaucracy. The NSA has tens of thousands of employees, a budget in the tens of billions of dollars, and their fingers in everything all the way down to World of Warcraft. [2] The guy tasked with spying on elves and death knights (which, shockingly, never turned up anything) is going to have a different view of the agency than the guy who is doing things like spying on people's Skype conversations, or the person who is producing the metadata upon which people end up being killed.

As a vegan, agree. I once described benevolent bacon as “you’re not going to think ‘oh wow I totally just ate bacon’ but you might think ‘oh wow I don’t need bacon after that.”

And it’s a recipe thing. Just need to get a little creative perhaps.

The strategic reserve is there to serve strategic purposes.

Being able to counterbalance supply restrictions by the Middle East cartel is a very powerful strategic tool. It’s a clever move when you consider that the reserve can be viewed completely differently now that the US is a net exporter.
I mean ... I used to write software in C that targeted AIX as well as HPUX, Solaris etc back in the 00s. It was fine. Posix compliant, had a C compiler, debugging was OK with dbx (IIRC you could get ddd to use dbx as its subordinate debugger, which was helpful).

The main selling point AFAICT was that it was on POWER, which has always been a pretty competitive set of processors, often faster than x86/64 in some (no doubt carefully massaged) metrics.

I think, like a lot of IBM systems and a lot of commercial unix, at that point it was ahead of the game in its system-paritioning capabilities, having LPARs much like z/OS (and Solaris Zones I guess).

I don't know if it has any other major unique selling points, as a C programmer I tended to focus on commonalities rather than differences!
I don’t know if people still use Meetup, but back around 2013 when I was living in California, Meetup events were popular with people who wanted a way to socialize and improve their language skills. I was a part of a Meetup that went on hiking trips. I enjoyed the cultural exchange, but the foreigners who participated also told me that it was a good way to learn many of English’s colloquial expressions in a low-pressure environment.

This is just not true. In the act that established SPR (https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/COMPS-845/uslm/COMPS-845...) there’s much about supply, little about national security, and next to nothing about military:

Sec 151(b)
[The purpose of creating the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is] to reduce the impact of disruptions in supplies of petroleum products, to carry out obligations of the United States under the international energy program, and for other purposes as provided for in this Act.

Sec 161(d)(2) [Secretary of Energy may authorize a drawdown when]
(A) an emergency situation exists and there is a significant reduction in supply which is of significant scope and duration;
(B) a severe increase in the price of petroleum products has resulted from such emergency situation; and
(C) such price increase is likely to cause a major adverse impact on the national economy.

Sec 161(h)(1) [POTUS can authorize drawdowns if]
(D) the Secretary of Defense has found that action taken under this subsection will not impair national security,
Scrollbars are actually a real pain to implement.

- you first need to lay out the scrollable content normally, without a scrollbar

- then you need to detect whether it spills over, and whether a scrollbar is needed

- if so, you need to lay out all the content again, in a slightly smaller area

- if the content ever shrinks, you need to detect this too

- and if the content only _just_ fits, then it is possible that without a scrollbar, it doesn't need a scrollbar, but if there is a scrollbar, it needs to be scrollable. Chicken and egg.

This is actually pretty nasty to get right. Now factor in layout models like flex box, which also require part of the content to have a "pre layout" pass done in order to estimate "natural size", and it can get quite gnarly. And if you want to mix vertical and horizontal layouts... oof.

I got an equivalent of HTML/CSS box+flex working in Use.GPU but it took plenty of iteration.

I think the lesson here is that UI is always more complicated than you think. There are countless little tricks and mechanisms that you would only ever notice it if they didn't work. When they do, it is so "obviously" right you literally can't tell.

(As an aside, whoda thunk that a generation raised on participation trophies would be easily triggered???)
