Obviously not. If doctors can't take care of their patients within a normal working day, the answer is to have more doctors rather than make the existing ones work unsustainably long hours.
We once had to fight for stackoverflow access. Security responds: you devs should only require the manual provided by the vendor(in this case: Oracle javadocs)?
The author isn't doing the switching:

> According to Gage [the family lawyer]...The training at which he sustained injuries "was supposed to be bicycle training," but somehow wound up entailing the "grappling exercise" that the LAPD says killed him.

I think that they article shows that there's confusion as to how bicycle training lead to a grapple exercise. Even the Police Chief is reporting grappling:

> "He did grapple with another officer, and both fell to the ground, resulting in a catastrophic injury to his spinal cord."
>It just means you're not doing anything interesting on your job.

> something innovative and outside the norm.

They are explicitly trying to avoid this, where everyone has their own "innovative" proprietary charger.

It is fairly easy for an organization such as USB-IF to put it forward to the commission when they have a new standard, considering it means that the industry has already decided on the new standard. If a new cable is improvement enough that it warrants a new standard, I don't doubt that the industry as a whole will try and make a push for it.
These cops are currently in court, being subjected to the law. If you read the judge's rulings, you can see that the opinions are not about the facts of the case but how the law applies to them. If they get the suit dismissed, it will have been done through legal means. So no, this isn't because the cops are above the law. The law may be constructed as to favor them unfairly, but that's an entirely other matter.
> Geo-locking is such an obviously bad idea for consumers. It was such a relief when the restrictions were hacked away (was it that an encryption key got leaked? I don't remember the details).

DVD region locking didn't need to be hacked away; it operates purely on the honor system. There are 8 regions, and a DVD contains a single byte specifying which regions it should be allowed to be played in. If the bit for your region is clear, you can play the DVD.

Or, of course, you can just ignore that byte, and play the DVD.
No code changes and inflammatory/defamatory blog posts aren’t a good way to build a community. If you had shown some code that solves a real problem SQLite has, then people would take you seriously. But if all your “contributions” consist of ideas that 99% of SQLite users won’t need, and a few text files, your project doesn’t look too serious to me.
This could be considered a good thing. The whole point of increasing interest rates is to lower business investment and consumer purchasing power, which is what we need to do to combat inflation (or magically fix all supply chain issues.)
People clamoring for satire warnings and such should be placed on a watchlist of some kind, or perhaps enrolled in some kind of re-educational program, lest they mistake a book of jokes for an instruction manual and get somebody hurt or something.
Food safety laws are a good example. By acting as a floor on manufacturer and restaurant hygiene and ingredient quality, they help the poor a fair bit more than the rich.
We moved off of Heroku in late-May/early-June of this year. It took a few weeks of half-time work for one person to make everything happen. We were already using Docker in CI, so we didn't need to spend much time making our app work in Docker for production. We paid the $500 for Porter's "white glove" migration service because we figured it would be useful to be able to get quick feedback about choices and changes.

We had some AWS experience from running our backing services (RDS, Elasticsearch, Memcached, Redis) on AWS despite doing compute on Heroku for a long time, but we'd never done EC2 or EKS for deployments on AWS. Despite having been on Porter now for months, I'd say we still don't know or really need to know a ton about k8s, but we are familiar with some basics around pod sizing, healthchecks, deployments, etc.

I think Porter does a lot to put themselves out as as destination for people leaving Heroku. I'm not sure if this would have been more work to do something like Render, but I was very pleased with the timeframe, hours spent, and the ease of cutting over.

We have a monolith that handles ~50k/min traffic at peak use as well as a couple very tiny services that do some accessory stuff. All the apps are Rails apps.

One of the reasons that we chose Porter over other options is that we really liked their setup for Preview Environments, which are an important part of our workflow here. The experience of running preview apps on Porter is notably better than on Heroku, where we started to see a lot of unreliable behavior on app launch that resulted in the app being unusable and the only fix was to close and open a new PR .

On the whole this was a really positive experience for us. We're seeing better performance, we're paying less (in Porter + AWS compute combined) than we did for Heroku Enterprise, and our ability to deploy mid-day when we're under load is better than it was before. I've spent most of my 12 years or so of Rails development working on Heroku (and we had been on Heroku for almost six years), so we had some fear around moving to unfamiliar tooling, but this has been a big win for us.
I would be curious to know if Who's Hiring is recruiters or other devs/founders. I always assumed other devs or founders.
I posted in "who wants to be hired" a few times, and a few people reached out. About 50% seem to be somewhat targeted to the message. At least one lead to an offer (which I declined for other reasons, it was a fair and interesting offer though).

"Who is hiring" never worked out for me, as the geographic limitations are too strict or confusingly worded. Looking through 400 posts to figure out which are actually open to hire someone from europe is not as promising as looking through dedicated job portals.
> And how about the small ones? I see eSim as limiting choice.

I think most of the UK's small providers are just virtual providers (MVNOs)backed onto one of the big ones - eSIM support would presumably just be an option they select.

> Third, how do you switch providers with an eSim?

Haven't checked but I suspect it's exactly the same as porting your number with a physical SIM which, in the UK, is basically either a webform or phoning up to get a code from customer service.

> How likely is it that the provider you're turning off can put in some innocent administrative hurdles?

In the UK, zero, because they are explicitly prohibited from putting up any kind of obstruction to people wanting to move providers.

It helps immensely to have common goals and wants.

My wife and I were very aligned, right from early on, concerning financial disposition and family goals. We got that right out in the open early. We completely merged our financial lives and closed on a house, both names on the deed, both names on the mortgage, a year before we got engaged. When we got engaged, we couldn't afford an engagement ring, joint decision on that, and one of her friends got up in my face about it, 'where is the commitment?'. My dear fiancee held her ring finger up against the house and said "this is the commitment".

That common ground, those common goals, has made everything that followed much easier. Thirty years this past Spring.
Thank you all for the valuable tips and suggestions! It is a start for going out of the hole for me! Thank you!
Business genius agrees to his original offer.
That's a long time. Some things have been around longer: brothel tokens date from the 1st century to the early 1900's. Roman brothel tokens were used in London, and Upton Sinclair wrote about 'brass check' tokens used in his youth (1919).
Oh man; those were times when gadgets and gizmos felt like gadgets and gizmos :)

> Extremely well written and maintained and high quality as of now and having a plan to make sure that can continue in the future are sometimes entirely different things with needs that oppose each other.

I think in this area SQLite has most other open source software beat. SQLite is used in the Airbus A350 and has support contracts for the life of the airframe.

https://mobile.twitter.com/copiousfreetime/status/6758345433...

Other places I have see that they have support contracts through 2050.

This is far more future support than any open source software or likely most commercial software.
Yes, the cancellers know that self-publishing is not the solution, and the authors know that going that route is the road to perdition and permanent unpersoning. The authors know that they have to write a long mea culpa and promise to "do better" and "be an ally" and funnel a good chunk of money into the canceller ecosystem with sensitivity readers and empowering diverse voices.
If I had a medicial degree, opened a clinic to treat patients for cancer, and the medicine I used had no emperical evidence that it works (meaning some probability of success determined used a properly done study) should that be acceptable?

Even if I told patients I think thought the treatment would work but it's not FDA approved.
Isn't Superhuman still limited to Gmail only? If so, meh.
Not having a degree doesnt mean you cant be great or better than someone with a degree. A lot of trades have people that simply have a “feel” of how things work. Its a bit like car mechanics vs mechanical engineers. No matter how good a mechanic is they will rarely be good enough to actually understand why things are the way they are. A mechanic can fix any part of the car but the engineer will build that critical thing that makes the car possible.

Similarly with software engineering. Memorising good practice and following it is not difficult. Understanding why it is good practice and why it can be challenged is. A lot of the self taught folks stare at you like a brick the moment you step out of their knowledge area.

I dont want to sound patronising. I also met plenty of great developers without a degree, some even high school drop outs. But they rarely understood whats beneath the bonnet. They were absolutely able to deliver work and architect systems but it was always obvious that knowledge was based on what some popular dude wrote on a blog instead of actual knowledge.

The survey you posted doesnt show a breakdown per language.

Again, nothing wrong with not having a degree but saying that having a degree is a negative thing is just silly.
Had 2 Thinkpads through work from new - x280 and P14s. Both, within a month, had issues with the cable falling out of the socket. Tried several different cables, all fell out. The build quality is shitty by-and-large; I currently have keyboard keys that squeak and creek on the P series, cheap, plasticky and overpriced rubbish.
> Isn't fossil younger than git?

They were initially developed in parallel. To the very best of my recollection, Richard had no knowledge of git when he started fossil. Fossil's initial development dates back to 2005, IIRC, (edit: maybe 2006) initially as a TCL prototype. It wasn't developed in earnest in C until 2007 and was self-hosting by the end of 2007 (i discovered it around Christmas that year).

Remember when they were looking for Dorner and they just started shooting up pickup trucks that vaguely looked like Dorner's?

"At about 5:30 am (PST), at least seven[98] LAPD officers on a protection detail of an unnamed LAPD official's residence in the 19500 block of Redbeam Street[99] in the Los Angeles County city of Torrance opened fire on the back of a light blue Toyota Tacoma and shot its two occupants, Emma Hernandez, 71, and her daughter, Margie Carranza, 47,[98][100] delivering newspapers for the Los Angeles Times.[10][101] The vehicle, according to officers, was spotted exiting a freeway and heading to the area of the residence that officers were protecting, was thought by police to match the description of Dorner's 2005 gray Nissan Titan and was moving without its headlights on.[97][102] Hernandez was shot in the back and Carranza received wounds to her hand. Their attorney claimed police "had no idea who was in that vehicle" when they opened fire, and that nothing about his clients or their vehicle matched the descriptions given of the suspect or his truck.[103] The two women stated that they were given no warning prior to being fired upon.[104]" -- wiki

LAPD will happily attempt to kill anyone vaguely matching the description of someone they have beef with.
> Also, who has been canceled inappropriately?

I don't follow celebs enough to name names here but there are many democrat-leaning ones being cancelled. It's hard to cancel a dedicated conservative in a conservative environment, but a lib can be cancelled for anything, like saying the correct messages from six months ago.

And then there's everyone not in the news. All the women kicked out of breastfeeding or ovarian cancer groups for complaining that they allow men, etc.

> In fact, who has even suffered significant consequences for being cancelled?

Parents who question what their child's school is doing. The father who the school board worked with the FBI to label a terrorist because he shouted during a meeting where he was discussion the cover-up of the rape of his daughter at school.

> people being pushed right [by] the internal contradictions on the left. And those internal contradictions are caused by a wavering of conviction, not an excess

Contradictions are probably not caused by wavering beliefs but by inconsistent or hypocritical beliefs. Combine this with an excess of conviction and usual absolute unwillingness to discuss and you have alienating opinions.

But I don't think people are being pushed "right" as much as the liberal parties are being pushed to hard-left absolutist positions. "Capitalism bad. White people bad. Men are women." The people are staying roughly where they were and the parties are moving.

Would be interesting to see this chart: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13yGlJzFpVzZ-WNHAOsdo...

With traffic stats for HN, so we could see if there was a change in traffic/participation, or something else.

My personal thought is that many startups have been advised by investors to trim the sails for less follow on capital for a while, and that results in more conservative hiring. What I'm seeing at the day job (I have a recruiting tech platform), is that non-tech companies have plenty of open tech jobs to go around - and still can't find enough people.
What kind of proof are you looking for here?
I got hired for my current job based on a "who wants to be hired" thread. I've also been reached out to 2-3 times based on comments I've made (some recent, some a few weeks/months old) on HN asking me to interview for a position.
I posted as a candidate in one thread over the summer and got contacted by ~10 companies and did a handful of interviews — a couple were duds with non-technical founders casting a wide net but others were solid opportunities. I also applied to a few jobs from that same month's employers thread and got to the offer stage with one of those companies.

I had enough success to try again the next time I am looking for a new gig.
I got previous two jobs via Who's Hiring. And, indirectly, my current job due to networking from the previous.

I also recently interviewed for another position advertised via Who's Hiring. I didn't take the offer, but it was a very close decision.
>> That can be true, but I think it's the kind of explanation that has to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to believed. Unless you can do that, I think the assumption when a brand overtakes the generic term should be it's due to a SEO gaming.

> Intuitively I found it not that hard to believe that the number of people who just google "pepper" to find something about the fruit or spice is fairly small.

But that's not anywhere "proven beyond a reasonable doubt," rather it's the very low standard of "I can imagine it maybe being true." You provided good evidence for SEO gaming, but I don't think that was strictly necessary given where I think the burden of proof lies.

In general, I see a lot of thinking that takes "whatever a FAANG does" as an oracle for truth, so spends a lot of effort to justify their results as correct. I think that's wrong (at both the factual and moral levels), and also creates a tolerance for regression, so it should be disputed.
I do have to comment that while I see a lot of job postings online (incl. HN), the requirements are going up as crazy.

People wanting a Mobile Developer with knowledge both in iOS and Android, and it wouldn't hurt if you knew some crass platform solution also.

I see posting with wanting 8+ years in a particular framework or language...

Am I the only one who finds that insane? I know that before "the requirements" were more like "wants" and if you are a good candidate, the company will give you a chance, but I have had situations right now where the recruiter would just answer point blank that all of the requirements must be met...

How are people with under 2,3,4 years of experience supposed to find a better paying job?

God forbid if you are fresh from college...

Ok, I read 20+ articles describing the VR demo you worked on. Some of them explicitly state that they can’t disclose how the interaction works. One of them mentioned that extra saccade is used to “click”, but it isn’t very revealing. Some demos, e.g. 360 virtual displays, has an explicit gaze target to trigger the action, but the AR demo lacks them, so my take is that the 2min tutorial teaches person that there is an invisible, but standardized target (say upper-right corner) that is the trigger. No idea about scrolling. But damn, everybody that tried the demo was super-convinced that this is the way to go and that in 2017 there will be headsets with such tech. Here we are, 6 years later, and I am still waiting.

Google should start open sourcing their canned and dead projects.

Thank you for pointing me towards this research and for your work. :) Very cool!
Any networked device will do - switch, router, etc. If there's no link on the port, power is down. USB-C Ethernet adapters with power pass-through will generally power the Ethernet module off the USB-C power port even if no host device is plugged in. USB-to-Ethernet adapters may also light up the port even if only connected to power (and not a host device).

as I see it, it is not particularly subtle.
I'll be closely following the development of matter, especially when it comes to compatible devices. Cloud dependency of many devices for the most basic functionality offered is an absolute dealbreaker for me. While I doubt that there will be meaningful change when it comes to the app mess retrofit smart home systems tend to create, I really do think matter will offer significant improvements. Knowing that I will still be able to dim my smart lights even if company X goes bankrupt makes is slightly easier to justify spending the premium on smart bulbs.

Also, I really hope that having one universal application level protocol for a variety of devices will further improve the home assistant experience. While the device support is great for many big brands, smaller brands (especially those outside the US) are sometimes lacking integrations.
