PMs don't get to order devs around at Microsoft (or any sane organization). Devs can tell their PM counterparts to stuff it if they try to demand stuff. If you've worked at Microsoft, or met someone who has, you'd know this.

With all the telemetry going on in the background, Windows is worse every day. I tried Windows 11 and was amazed at how it completely nullified having a top-tier mobile i7 paired with 32GB RAM.

Take a look at how much a modern install of Windows is thrashing your drive. It's scanning everything, all the time.
I really doubt the hype statements.

I jumped off most social media (not all) about 5 years ago, and my quality of life improved significantly. I actually suspect if I were to ditch my reddit habit that it would improve again.

I see limited value for the average day to day consumer strapping a pc to their face. I see exceptional value with training and industry, for discrete functions.

I like the ⌘ glyph but outside the United States, keyboards don’t have the “command” name on the key. I find it hard to describe to my parents when doing support over the phone.

It was much easier when this key also featured the outline of the Apple logo , I could describe it as the key with the Apple on it next to the space bar.

I envy my Northern European neighbors that actually have name for the ⌘ symbol, or in Northern America where you can simply say the “command” key because that’s written on it.
I had one of these too!
Excuse my ignorance as I work in infrastructure, but do "pure" software engineers never have any time to do work outside of their assignments? Is it constant agile crunch to smash as many story points as possible into the current sprint?
I think starting this kind of service also requires decades of prior buy-in to the gaming market. Google went in with no game studios, no relationships with game studios, no special IP, and no exclusives. That's a recipe for failure even if they had a solid reputation. Their competitors were Microsoft, Nvidia, Sony...
Do you think Google will unlock the Bluetooth for the controllers so we can still use them? Maybe a firmware update or open sourcing the drivers.
Exactly. My point is that the problem is systemic, caused by decades of media brainwashing. Hopefully the present situation is a “shock” that wakes people up.

> That being said, I think current iOS and macOS can run their UIs at 120fps (and Apple devices still seem to have decent battery life.)

The same critique for Apple applies all the time, when you are completely vertically integrated and make your own chips up to the very software running on them, it's kinda easier.

That aside, there's no display offering above 60Hz IIRC in the Apple line. Correct me if I am wrong.

That's not true, and certainly not true enough to make such sweeping generalizations.

From the actual New York Times regarding their editing standards for writing headlines: [1]

ago."

Steal my AI copywriting rules to create EPIC content
I suppose two issues are at play: centralized OSS project stewardship that alters direction every 3-5 years to meet evolving org goals, and people building consulting careers on top of OSS projects that are strongly aligned with org goals (extreme case for impacted users).

At least some of your million dev userbase comprises of consultancy shops, contributing in part to your popularity by building products for their clients, but also making a buck with low effort on the underlying tech. They end up stitching codebases using unusual practices to meet deadlines that often blow up when a migration is upon them.

Angular had a migration tool called ngUpgrade that was painful in the wild.

All I'm saying is, these tradeoffs have now surfaced and crystallized.
I think one problem is that these days you use so many frameworks and libraries that is hard to get a good mental model of how software performs and where bottlenecks are.

Another problem is that performance often given lower priority in enterprisey software development.
For example, i'm currently working on a project where two componenens share data through a message bus. The architects decided that all messages on this bus have to use json with a bunch of headers.
For my project, it could literally be 50x faster with very little effort if we could use a more efficient format, but it is not allowed.
Do you want to know the real answer? It's game theory again.

In a world where no one allows smut (or drugs or semi-racist content), the first one who relaxes these rules will attract anyone and everyone with an interest in that particular content. And before you know it, smut is all you have.

It's a self reinforcing process, and the only way to stay out of it is to align with everyone else. The only way to break the process is if everyone relaxes the rules simultaneously.
Fair. Since it is indeed from a specfic place—and not just “the mountains of Norway” in general—then I did overreact.
I'll bet they would've failed anyway then had to refund even more money. Extra cynical view: Maybe they were afraid of this from the beginning, and that's why they didn't tell anyone.
I'm hoping we weaponize MDMA and psychedelics against enemy politicians (or perhaps our own?).
As a user of software, I don't care about how reasonable the optimization is, I care about how responsive the software is. Code that feels fast but is poorly optimized is fine. The problem is often that developers don't know how the software actually performs because they don't have proper analytics and don't do proper QA.
I think part of it is the terrible software people are forced to use at work, which is bought by people who only look at feature lists and price. This stuff eats away at their expectations until they are OK with bloated stuff like discord for private use too.
That's a new word to me, "overindex". Had to Google it, and that was kind of fun. It seems to be from economics, but nowadays a bit of a Microsoft term, maybe?

Here's Raymond Chen in 2017 explaining it [1]:

To over-index on an attribute means to give that attribute too much prominence in a discussion or analysis.

Also fun to note that Wictionary [2] does not mention this meaning at all, instead saying it means to index out of bounds in an array which given the technical usage sphere of the word is kind of amusing.

This is the way Google works, it's their operating model. Big fanfare when they launch things so the muggles continue to believe that 'Google' is still relevant, and then quiet shuttering when the product either doesn't add to their ad revenue, their overarching interest, or it was never even meant to be a success in the first place.

There is no failure here, it's working exactly the way they planned it to.

Google sells attention. Anything else it does is flim flam to support that.

And they all think about the law, and how hard they will be impacted if it turns out there's too much non-consentual or illegal / underage content on their website.

Pornhub did a panic delete when the credit card companies withdrew because they realized three quarters of the content on their website may have been uploaded non-consentually - or at least, they didn't know there was consent involved. Revenge porn is a big issue, and will be even more now that everyone has an internet connected camera phone from a young age.

And this is the public internet; on top of that is the peer-to-peer internet of whatsapp, telegram etc, and the dark web of tor and co.
I would add that something like this often happens outside online shops for devices and more generally house appliances.

My theory is that many people are "proud" to have bought something, either for its novelty or because they managed to get the whatever for a lowish price/discount, or - on the opposite - because they already spent an awful amount of money so it must be exceptional, or because they read somewhere that the thing is exceptionally good.

Short of the thing completely not working, they are (in good faith) convinced that they got the best and talk endlessly on how good it is, and how nothing else is as good.

Once upon a time it was typical of many self-appointed Hi-Fi experts but in more recent years I have seen the same behaviour in many other cases, from vacuum cleaners to Tv's.

They can lock up carrier threads and are not preemptible.

It is a bit subjective, but regarding threading Java often chooses to expose the basic primitives as is, and let you build on top. Erlang is an opinionated specialization of concurrent programming en large, which may be a better for for certain problems, but not for others.

Also, I don’t think global shared memory is a problem, one is free to use ExtentLocals (threadlocals, but virtual thread friendly) in Java. Also, while small actor-scoped heaps are cool, I don’t think that they have anything on the state-of-the-art GCs Java employ, and also stop the world pauses are not really a problem that comes up, and if they do it is likely some programmer error.
Show HN: Jsonnet Course Online
Hi HN!
I'm usually a lurker here, but I wanted to share this: I'm an enthusiastic user of Jsonnet[1] to flexibly generate JSON and YAML files (eg for kubernetes configurations). I wanted to spread awareness of Jsonnet and made a course on Udemy.

The first 1000 students enrolling within 5 days with this link get the course for free: https://www.udemy.com/course/jsonnet-from-scratch/?couponCod...

I hope you enjoy the course (I'm interested in your feedback!) and if it makes you start using Jsonnet it will be mission accomplished :-)

As said, the main problem are visa and master who monopolized the consumer spending options and keep their firm grip on that parasitic business of theirs. Crypto SHOULD have changed but instead too many greedy people made it into a complete scam and took away any credibility it could have had. So we still have no alternatives and regulations and governments make it so we will not have those alternatives any time soon either. Banks are still living in 1980 and unable to do and settle payments immediately .... OVER THE *** INTERNET ... IN 2022. The entire financial industry is archaic AF. Porn used to be the pioneer with everything because it had the numbers behind it(they also had their hands in bluray vs hd-dvd war). But nowadays, thing have changed and it's not like it used to be. Everything had been monopolized and regulated and gate-kept so moving forward is harder than ever, even though it sounds like it should be the other way round.

PS: look at visa and master cutting out russians altogether just because they felt like it. that is the power they hold.
It was confusing marketing. I didn't know what it was until I actually went through with trying it, and even then the game license ownership was unclear to me. It was weird how you'd buy a game upfront at regular price then not pay for streaming it later, UNLESS you paid monthly for Stadia Pro for the ability to stream at higher quality, which also came with some free games and hardware (?), AND there was a free trial version of it (which evidently deleted your free games when it expired).

I assume at this point that the license for the one game I bought was only good for Stadia, and I'm being refunded for it. That's good, cause Far Cry 5 got boring fast.

It’s an economic war. People die, it’s just that they die of other reasons instead of bullets, and the military isn’t involved much.

It’s much more cost effective to spend some money in helping an incompetent populist become president of a country than it is to invade said country. If you play your cards right, he’ll polarize the civilians so much that they will attack each other (Brazil has an election this week, let’s see how that goes)

It’s also a class war. When your infant mortality rate is increasing but your “too big to fail” companies are getting billions in bailouts, that is an act of war from the rich. It’s just undercover.

>They're free to look at the approach and simply rewrite it.

If by "look at the approach" you mean the "look at the code", then no. You're giving a step for your code to be considered a derivative work. If by "look at the approach" you mean someone read the code, made a specification, and then someone else that hasn't looked the code, made a program based on the specification, then yes. But arguably this isn't "simply rewrite".

Those aren't even baseless considerations. ReactOS project had paused development due to concerns that derived (read: rewritten) parts of leaked Windows code may have been used. It took years for ReactOS to show that everything was in fact a clean-room implementation (basically doing what wrote above). If they hadn't, they'll have made themselves open to be sued by Microsoft.
I remember a few articles about eye color and it basically said that blue is the starting point and it goes from there. Which is why I read that medical operations to get blue eyes are/would be the easiest as you basically only fix what has changed instead of generating new colors. (but I am no expert by any means so take it with a grain of salt)
The text mentions troff and PIC. I wonder whether the author still has the source code... Even if re-rendering with modern tools ("modern" meaning "actually runs on platforms readily available today, e.g. groff and gpic") is more work than he’s willing to put in (which I quite understand), there ought to be someone on the Internet who is enough of a compsci/typography nerd to do it...
Except they post pay ranges and not a single salary. They could just make the pay ranges really big and use the ambiguity to avoid the intended effect

I don't think fundamentally that the problem here is derivatives. I think fundamentally that it is pensions themselves.

Think about what a pension is. A pension is a deliberate inefficiency in a labor market. It's a promise to pay someone for not working, and in some cases even, children of people who once long ago worked. It is also a central lever for people to look to profit on through managent, and a tool with which to overinflate demand for financial products.

The commitment taken on by a pension fund is an increasingly impossible one to uphold as time goes on and markets get more efficient. They have a bag of capital they have to make grow to continue to honor an open ended commitment, so they have to continue to find interesting and clever (and risky) ways to do that. Compounding on this, they're big bags of capital, so they will invariably become load bearing pieces of a nation's financial portfolio. Of course they're going to wind up intimately tied to the overall financial health of a nation.

"We take some chunk of money we would otherwise just pay you, promise to invest it wisely to indefinitely pay you later for not working, and in return we get a chunk of capital to play with and a sink to help stabilize the financial system." That's the proposition of a pension, right?

You might be tempted to say "pensions are just a part of agreed to compensation, a contractual obligation and nothing more. There's nothing special about a pension that gives it these negative properties your ascribe to it" and to that I'd ask, then why don't people just take the capital through their working years as monetary compensation? Surely they could hand that to a money manager and achieve the same result as a pension achieves? The answer is because people wouldn't be able to expect what they get out of a pension, they go with a pension because they think they're getting something more out of it, and that excess is the ultimately impossible commitment I am referring to.
