I am not a fanboy, have never been a fanboy and never cared about the "do no evil" marketing motto or any other Google crap. I am bitter against Google because it plainly sucks. Their products suck, they have "soft monopolies" and they have used them to Embrace Extend and Extinguish any alternatives. They are what Microsoft was in the 1990s-2000s. If you are young enough to remember the 90s and 00s Microsoft you will understand.

Note that I not only hate Google, I hate Google, Apple, Facebook and the current state of the web. I guess that makes me an old fart.
Kind of reminds me of the Yes Men and their WTO web site. When some comedian/activists picked up an old WTO domain name and setup a spoof site for fun, they started getting real inquiries to the WTO such conference invitations. Their presentation on the economic efficiency of remote workers was ... interesting.

> Aphasia is not a degenerative brain disease

I have no idea if you're right about that or not, but I'll assume you are. That was just what I saw reported on a few media outlets describing his condition. And sure, media gets shit wrong all the time, so they're probably wrong about that too. I have not studied aphasia or know all of its details. The important bit is that he retired from acting shortly after the diagnosis, though.

"A little over a week ago Bruce Willis confirmed his retirement from acting due to aphasia, a degenerative brain disease that affects speech and communication in general."[1]

"Actor Bruce Willis has announced his retirement after being diagnosed with Aphasia a degenerative brain disease that impacts one's ability to speak"[2]

Not really tbh. The Go runtime has a work-stealing scheduler and does a lot of work to provide the same abstractions that pthreads have, but for goroutines.
Need to remember the actual date I got it, but it's definitely not longer than 5 months or something.

Edit: My user folder was created May 26, 2022. So 5 months.

Basically I was completely unaware of this problem to start with.

I'm a generalist, and so typically:

- have Blender open doing some 3D modeling, then forget to close

- make some music on Ableton with hundreds of tracks and plugins

- designing a UI on Sketch

- Davinci Resolve is open cause I'm color grading a shot I just rendered

- After Effects is open cause I'm compositing something

- Atom or VSCode or sometimes both are open cause I'm writing some code for Blender (creative coding) to render online, or for anything else code-related, etc. etc....

- oh and Chrome is open with hundreds of tabs cause I'm researching a bunch of stuff + watching videos.

I understand that I don't need to have all these apps open at the same time, but typically that happens for 2 reasons, either 1. I forget to close, or dont want to close just yet or 2. I'm working on a single project that's using all these apps.

I'm a very very very heavy user. I like my computer to be able to handle me doing stupid things like this. Anyway it's good that I'm now aware of this, will make sure to not try to exceed the RAM my computer is capable of, but I honestly see it as a design flaw and less my own 'irresponsibility'.

I do see this as a temporary computer though until I somehow make enough money to buy a much more powerful one. Will make sure to get an M1 with the highest TB drive then.
So is your argument that people liked and cared about Stadia? Because right now it feels like a really odd double standard. Go read through that canonical "Killed by Google" list. How many of those products were more popular than Windows phone / had users be more invested in it / etc? Be honest, it's a handful. Most of them you hadn't even heard of.

It feels like you have a double standard at play here, and are giving both Microsoft and Amazon a free pass on their abattoirs of dead products by various excuses, and totally ignoring that those same excuses would apply to Google's.
You you’re saying he’s Tyrion Lannister? That sorta checks out…
Everybody hates it when Facebook is policing their content. But everybody is also quick to raise the torches and pitchforks when they have demands for Facebook to police others for ‘disinformation’.

It’s just the other edge of that sword, get used to it. Either Facebook is a common carrier that can’t censor content, or Facebook is a private party that gets to police content and make the mistakes that come with that territory.
Why not lie to her about everything and bang her anyway?
With virtual threads, you need to write fork/join code to do two subtasks. With async await, you call two async functions and await them. So the virtual threading model ends up requiring something that looks like a worse version of async await to me.
Not just every bootstrap website. This is literally the stereotype of web 2.0. Every site was vertical scroll with absolute positioned static elements you scrolled down past.

I used to think that was bad. But compared to the javascript applications of today that don't even have text or images unless your run their code those sites were/are at least functional.
Yes because the internet, really the web, is a shared public broadcast medium. What makes it any different than radio? Don’t say logins because sites where basically anyone can join is essentially public.
I have a site using Bootstrap.

I find the easiest thing is to change the primary color and then remove border radii and you're golden - no-one notices or complains.
Really? I have the opposite experience. I _want_ to love CL but Clojure wins when it comes to IDE support and libs and documentation.

Maybe it's just me but I find (SB)CL tooling to be very obscure: ASDF, QuickLisp, Roswell etc. My main issue with it is that it's all written in CL itself and doesn't provide handy CLI tools to execute common tasks (compile app, build package, run tests, deploy etc.). Not to mention that documentation is horrendous.

Basically, I want it to have something like Maven/Gradle/Leiningen to manage dependencies, run tasks and so on. Am I missing something?
I haven't done much with Facebook ads since 2019, but back then the UI was a flaky, buggy mess. It was pretty terrible to work with. At one point they had a "Power Editor" and then a simpler ads interface. They combined these into one unified tool and it was pretty rough.
If you work somewhere like Facebook, this is totally unsurprising. There are probably thousands of engineers writing yet-another-framework and working on the 100th re-invention of the wheel for some random internal product that users will never see. The engineers actually solving business problems are almost always understaffed and under-appreciated, hence why the product sucks.
People say this evolution thing about language frequently but not all changes are positive for a languages utility, clearly.
It can get better and it can get worse. When words start meaning their opposite and then consequently nothing, like with "literally", that's evolving away from usefulness.

That said, I found it very interesting. I honestly had no idea it was legal anywhere outside of private or 'cordoned off' places.
But software engineers aren’t the only ones who program these days. It’s true that many popular languages used by developers are 0-based, but the most popular language, Excel, is 1-based.

Non devs seem to prefer 1-based indexing in my experience. As a teacher of Java and C++ to new programmers, the 0 based nature of those languages is always a sticking point; it causes novice programmers to write incorrect code, which frustrates them and leaves them with the perception that programming is filled with arbitrary rules that are only there to confuse people. And they’re not so wrong, seeing as that even programmers here can argue endlessly about 1 vs 0 indexing with no definitive answer.
"We have been able to determine the age of the church by the growth rings of its timbers."

Is this a mis-translation? How can growth rings show anything other than the age of the tree when it died?
I don't imagine it would either, which is I assume why someone said something pointed to the government of the Solomons. Maybe someday, but for now China isn't really in a position to try to rebase outside the First Island Chain without permission.

Preemptive threads with growable stacks. There was some discussion around getting segmented stacks into the kernel, but I'm not sure that's the best approach. There might have to be some novel work done in making contiguous stacks work in a shared address space.
What is the motive to producing non-consensual pornography? The risks are large: you're literally recording yourself committing a felony and publishing evidence of the crime to the world. Most porn production companies are looking to make a profit, not land themselves in jail. In the US, there's regulations to ensure all actors are of age and consented to recording [1].

I see "wi fi connected" seems like a default choice now, not even questioning. I had one such CO2 detector, but then I realized that anyone gaining access to it (any employee of the manufacturer, for example) can know exactly when we are at home, when we are not, when we go to bed, when we go on vacation etc.

So I disconnected it, bought a $70 device that measures everything pretty accurately and am happy ever since.
Supermarkets are literally designed to sell you on products. Every single product placement is from a planogram meant to juice the sales per sqft of space, from which aisle the item appears to which row and where within the row it’s positioned.

There's no blame, I agree, but expecting everyone to know proper use of quotation marks (incl. uncommon ways) pulls in some assumption about proper grammar, hence some long experience with the language. Quotation marks are simple tools, but they are hard to master, because they have nuanced uses too. Getting these things wrong is easy.

> Play that wounded ESL violin somewhere else.

I'm not playing a wounded violin, or any violin for that matter. I'm a double bassist. Jokes aside, I'm not being apologetic, just explaining my position. On the other hand, if reading a comment squarely in your own tone bothers you, you might want to think on that, at least a little.

Your wording of your comment implies that I'm doing something wrong by using quotation marks, and I take a note for that. Why are you so upset because somebody admits that there's a room for improvement?

The only thing I'm not agreeing on is your way of sending the message to this shore, that's it.

The thing is, neither English punctuation, nor Hacker News has many facilities to convey tone while discussing. I like to do that in my writing style to convey feelings and tone of my comment. Quotation marks seemed like a usable way to do that, and I possibly got used to that from literary works I've read, so I copied the method.

However, if a native (or more knowledgeable) person tells me that I'm wrong, I tend to believe them and try to learn the proper way, that's it.
Aside from NodeJS-specific APIs, JS as a whole does not generally have any synchronous I/O, locks, threads etc. SharedArrayBuffer is probably the notable exception as it can be used to build synchronous APIs that implement that functionality if I’m not mistaken.

Unless by synchronous you meant single threaded in which case JS is indeed single threaded normally (unless you’re using things like Web Workers).
> Then hiring basically froze when COVID-19 happened, and to survive, we started charging engineers

Err, this doesn’t line up with any of my experience, nor that of any of my peers or the multiple employers I worked for throughout the pandemic. Maybe things slowed down for a month or so, but there was so much job mobility and choice it was bonkers!
They are literally designed to make you buy products. The milk in the back corner is the most famous example so that you have to pass by as much product as possible to get it and have less chance of not impulse buying. End caps…all the candy right next to the checkout lane, etc.
>I'm just looking for an indoor air quality monitor for temperature, humidity, co2 and ideally pm2.5 and pressure.

That's because it's $$$$. CO2 is hard to measure (it's inert!), and only recently advances in NDIR allow us to measure it directly. Those are still $50, and that's just component cost.

PM2.5 is also around $50 for decent parts.

Another $10 for T/H/P. Another $20 for cheapest LCD you can find.

Ok, so we are up to $130, but now you gotta pay for manufacturing ($$$), PCB, hardware development, calibration, testing, mechanical design... Probably $200-$300 total depending on quantity.

So, let's say you can make the whole device for $250 just in costs. Now you gotta add software (BT\Wifi code is not fun!), shipping, overhead, profits. So, you gotta sell this thing for $350+.

Would you buy one for $350?

Ask HN: Should I be panicking about new grad jobs as someone graduating in 2023?
We had a cs career fair at georgia tech recently. A lot of companies I talked to told me that they are not prioritizing new full time hires, instead they are focusing on hiring interns for next summer because of market conditions.

Google also seems to be in a hiring slowdown, is hiring really slowing down? Should I be panicking and does anyone have any tips to navigate this?
The part that amazes me is someone this stupid made it through the hiring process.

This is way better than I expected. I booted up "Gamer Boy" and started throwing out questions about some of my favourites, and got very coherent and believable answers, including details from those games. It wasn't 100% perfect, but just reading the transcript I would believe it was a real person.
Funny enough, those emails caught my attention too and I was even trying to `curl -v` my way through the redirect chain before stumbling upon this thread.

Weirdly, in my case the links in the email were pointing at lnkd.in/<some payload>, which is a legit Linked in domain. However, with that payload it was 301-me to some garbage script on google storage and then some shady website.
I'm curious how did they make lnkd.in respond with 301 to whatever they want and can't there be a vulnerability of some sort.
It sounds like the FBI has an website/email account set up like "I_AM_A_RUSSIAN_SPY@gmail.com".

People email that account with offers of providing information to the russian government, and then the FBI goes and sees who had access to the documents which get sent over. In this case, only one person accessed all the documents, so even if he doesn't identify himself to I_AM_A_RUSSIAN_SPY@gmail.com, they still get him.

It doesn't seem like this person was specifically targeted or had an operation against him. He just fell into the honey pot.

I agree with you. But I also think this companies have potential for earning money. Real money.
FB has incredible aí models and platforms as well as interesting hw products. But they keep pushing publicity for creepy projects such as their second life version.

So what happens is that they have tons of fantastic things they do not properly use.

Yeah. Lots of contradictions etc, but if anything, he is not stupid.
And the fact that human time is always the more expensive portion of any maintenance work.

Sure, some things it makes sense to trust in those more skilled than you, with the proper toolsets and experience to finish a job correctly and back the result with a warranty, like larger vehicle maintenance tasks, plumbing, and major structural home remodeling.

But... so many things are not worth the premium that it boggles the mind.

Changing a light switch? 10 minutes and a screwdriver is all you need to save a $75 house call.

Replacing a door handle? 10 minutes and a screwdriver is all you need to save a $75 house call.

If you are willing, able bodied, and strong enough to handle the appropriate tools, then you owe it to yourself and your wallet to handle the things that you can handle and take the money you save and use that to help cover the things you cannot.
Yes, this is often a problem. We use view-dependent prompts (e.g. "cat wearing sunglasses, back view") but the pretrained 2D model often does not do a good job of interpreting non-canonical views and will put sunglasses on the back of the cats head (as well as the front).
This is like magic to me. The pace at which we are getting these tool amazes me.
It is obvious that Russia has abysmal chances against NATO (10+x population, economy, technology, war experience).
It's strange that they would give a security clearance to someone in a bad financial situation. I would think it's quite rare for the FBI to run a sting against an NSA employee... perhaps he wasn't targeted at all, but went out looking for someone to sell information to.
Well fuel, staff, etc. is relatively cheap compared to the cost of the rocket and we know for a fact that they can easily refly boosters many times. So unless their rockets cost an order of magnitude more to build then the competitors' they should be able to launch with low costs to themselves.
Perhaps this is true, but this is all the more reason why giving social media sites the right to police free speech/expression is too much. Public discourse today happens online. The "uhhhh, this is a private venue, they don't owe you a soapbox" rhetoric rings increasingly hollow when we just went through a multiyear period when society collectively forced millions of people to work or go to school over the internet, often through big tech platforms. Telling people who don't like the current state of the mainstream web to find their own platform is like telling people who are unhappy with food prices to simply farm their own crops; it's not technically impossible, but there's more likely to be civil unrest before people start sowing seeds.

It is also very telling that when independent discussion platforms do start to reach critical mass (4chan, voat, wherever else) there is often collusion or pressure to take down their hosting or stop payment processors from working with them.

They do need to do something though. Why would the farmer work harder than he has to feed his own family? He can produce just enough food for himself and relax. Why would the people building houses build an extra one?

Do you have a source for this claim? All the urbanists will tell you that small grocery stores are a joy to use in Europe due to transit oriented development that makes quick trips by bike to grab groceries fast and easy. But in North America we’ve built out larger and larger car-centric developments which have become so hostile to anyone not in a car that people are forced to drive to the grocery store. This makes the experience way less enjoyable than a quick trip by bike to a small store, the urbanists will say.

So your claim is that small stores were essentially selected out of existence by customers, but it may in fact be the case that city planners destroyed walkability in a way that left big box stores as the only viable option. Those two things are not the same, as the theoretical “we could have more smaller stores accessible by bike and foot traffic” would be true in the latter case.

For a detailed argument see the YouTube channel Not Just Bikes:

I'm not so sure that the most popular music is the best 1% of music.

Doing this now... what are you expecting to be obvious from this experiment? Obviously the video game has some upstream requirements (just user input), but neither are stuttering or having any issues.
>Microsoft is playing an entirely different game than selling loss leader hardware.

Same can be said for Google, right? Google is playing an entirely different game than having paid-for-products but instead funneling products into the money-printing Ads machine.

>But how many acquisitions has Google screwed up completely?

I actually don't know and am very curious, how many? More or less than other similar companies? From my memory it's not many but I could be very wrong. Firebase for example, is alive and strong and rarely gets mentioned.

I don't think every company needs to have the same type of business model. Google became popular because it made really great products that were all free* which increased adoption. Maybe some of them (like say, Search) would have never gotten popular if they had charged for it right away. I'm not convinced there's a single right path.

>it was revealed in the Oracle trial how relatively little Android makes in profit

It makes sense though, right? I don't even know how Android would make money directly (ok, I do know of ways, not sure if that's how it is) but it's a precursor for making money from the Play Store.
