LSST is a great example of "slow science": enormous amount of time and effort spent to build a unique resource, the infrastructure to support it, and plan to run it for decades if not longer. It's also a great example of the value of scanning the sky longitudinally (repeatedly scanning the same region of sky at fairly low magnification), rather than "deeper".

Also, Fossil is essentially implemented _in_ SQLite. Fossil is used to develop SQLite which is used to implement Fossil. It's a virtuous cycle. For the SQLite project, using Fossil is obviously superior to git. This doesn't mean that arbitrary projects should use Fossil over git.

No, treating as "any other to-do list item" does not work fine in practice. And you know it, because you spend 10% of your time on work specifically kept out of the normal to-do list flow.

His text messages from discovery make clear that reducing head count was his priority. Everything he's done since the deal has been about that, including his tweets yesterday, that where studiedly adversarial to most tweeps.

He doesn't want to fight employees to re-instate "the boss". But he was only "permanently suspended", after all.

I can't believe Elon Musk will actually get to own twitter. That's pretty messed up.

I don't know the intention of the author, but I see like a lot of "Look, it's happening! The economy is going down!" posts pop up these days. Which may be true, but it can also be a self-fulfilling profecy if everyone is doing that on all platforms. Which would be a shame.

I'm not saying HN and other platforms should censor (/ take action) either. It's just a thought I have on this subject, and I don't know if there is a solution.
Ahh, apologies misread the tree. In terms of the nuance around a mixin vs object - a mixin can be defined and tested in its own separate library independent of your data model, so it's at least cleaner in terms of separation of concerns.

Honest question: what are some ways Twitter could be better?

Elon Musk increased his wealth by $121 billion in 2021. Let's say he spent $5 million on lawyers. That's like someone on $121k spending $5 on a lawyer.

Not sure I agree with that. The non degree holder could be better definitely at certain specific parts of software engineering (mainly because they potentially had 4 more years and more time to dedicate to learning it) but the person with a bachelors degree will likely have had a more robust social network and broader general knowledge. In my opinion graduate degrees are when the utility drops off a cliff (except of course when you absolutely NEED that specific graduate knowledge - then it is essential). There is a ton you get with the added bachelors degree that is not at all related to your field and a network of friends in unrelated fields to your own also broadens your knowledge significantly. Software Engineers do not work in a vacuum just coding all day - they need to of course also be excellent general communicators and collaborators and there is real value in being able to translate high level technical concepts into language that less technical people can understand.

That being said the gatekeeping of jobs to only people with degrees (especially considering how expensive it is in the modern world) is absolutely a problem. But I think that is more down to the cost of education (in an ideal world higher education would be free just as high school is). My bachelors degree is not at all related to the field I work in now but it gives me a huge leg up compared to pre college me.
The science is the research paper and you might say "what if the numbers were fudged" I doubt a doctor is going to figure that out just reading it.

yes, we haven't changed any code yet. There are essentially two approaches here: one of them is to present a finished thing, and the other is to announce your intentions as soon as possible and build every single thing in public.

We chose the latter in this case, as we think community is the most important aspect of this.

To your point about not using scaffolding as a tool to speed development: I have found that rails' scaffolding commands make me lazy. I will routinely destroy, and recreate, an entire scaffold because I need to change it; somehow I think this is easier than just editing the file I already have on my system -- only to then spend 10 minutes combing through all the changes rails made so I don't lose any of the changes I made.

It's very silly.

My dude, as recently as 1921, England was imprisoning people for blasphemy[1], and the law was on the books until 2008. Throughout the history of Christendom, the usual punishment for blasphemy was death by hanging or stoning, and such hangings were common up until the turn of the 18th century[2]. "The West" is nothing special when it comes to freedom of speech.

Certainly isn't anything on the front; here's a non-homeopathic remedy[1] that might be adjacent to the homeopathic one. The back has a "Drug Facts" which I believe is FDA required, but homeopathic remedies often have a visually similar table with an asterisk (e.g.[2] also sold at CVS)

[edit] The "Drug Facts" label is an FDA requirement[3] for OTC drugs, but apparently it's totally okay to copy the format as long as you add a "not FDA approved" asterisk? Even if it's not okay, the certainly isn't pursuing enforcement here...

That's one solution. But a more healthy one is building a relationship such that temporary code can ship and then get removed. I've been a part of teams that did this all the time with experiments. We'd hack it together any old way for the experiment and ship it. Then when we had enough data, we'd remove the experimental code and do it right based on what we learned from the trial.
>Imagine you had 2 candidates, same work experience, both at a fairly prestigious company, one with a degree, one without, which do you hire? Personally, I think the fact that the non-degree holding one is more likely to be the better hire, just because of how much harder they had to work to get into that position.

I think the flaw here is in the question framing. It implies from the get-go there is a definitive qualitative difference between having CS degree and not AND that it is the determinate factor of quality or risk mitigation when the reality is both of these candidate are going to have behavioral differences you discover conducting proper interviews.

I use a 4 bay NAS with 4TB drives. I guess things would be more problematic if I had hundreds of movies but I’ve got a hair over 100 right now averaging around 40GB per movie which is fine.
This isn't really the case in practice, though.

Up until recently everyone used USB-A on the charger end, with a dozen different competing fast charge protocols. Chargers had the same connector, but they weren't fully interoperable. USB-C is slowly trying to fix this.

I completely agree that the cables aren't a massive deal. But on the other hand, if you are already standardizing chargers, why not do the cables too? Personally, I see no overwhelmingly good reason not to do it.
Jesus himself was extremely pragmatic in some cases: Give to the Caesar what belongs to the Caesar and all that.

While there are experiences worse than death, there are instances where shaming leads to suicide. So at least in those instances the person apparently prefers death to shame. It’s likely that we all experience mental pain differently so the balance between the pain caused by shame and violence may vary by individual and culture. Also, the source of shame in one culture may elicit a “meh” response and in another drive someone to suicide.
Part 1 is the most "useless" - it's basically required reading to be able to read the rest of the book. There are a few sections in data structures that I read to actually apply (I can't remember the exact parts, but I remember pouring over the book), but mostly it's enjoyable if you like programming for programmings sake. If you think of programming as a practical means for achieving some end (job or creative pursuit) then these books aren't for you. There is absolutely practical stuff in here, but it's all shown from first principles.

At any rate, don't judge the book on the first part - the first part is important to get the rest of the book, and it's as well written as the rest, but it doesn't reflect how much fun (again, fun for those who are into programming in itself) the rest of the book is.
If you use Python and you aren't aware of its tradeoffs, yes it is going to bite you.

Dynamic typing and the lack of a formal compilation step are great for productivity, but they come at a cost. You need a proper CI pipeline to run linters (granted, you need that in statically typed languages too) and, most importantly, you need to write tests. Sure, you need to write tests for any language, but not having them for languages like Python is going to bite you that much harder.

I've seen pretty large Python codebases that worked just fine. And smaller Java codebases that were unmaintainable.

Unicode fixes it. It's why legacy encodings are unworkable.
> Extremely well written and maintained and high quality as of now ...

As I see it, the quality comes from the fixed need, tight scope and small professional team

Fixed need -> Somebody always needs a database

Smaller scope -> Less features, less code, less bugs

Professional team -> No newbies around to break things

Now, to be sure, this kind of development model can only work for some projects.

> The few core developers they have do not work with modern tools like git and collaboration tools like Github, and don’t accept contributions, although they may or may not accept your suggestion for a new feature request.

Git is not modern. It is many executeables, and Git repos are a many files.

GitHub is not modern. It is closed source huge RoR application.

Fossil SCM is features of Git and GitHub much improved, and in small portable fast executeable, storing repos in much smaller space in one SQLite file.

Apache is not https://copyfree.org license. I prefer copyfree licenses.

I was hired at my current company because I responded to a who’s hiring post almost 2 years ago
I think I posted in one once or twice and had ~3 people reach out to me about roles. One ended up being promising, but I had to pull out for a family emergency that kept me from being able to participate.
also consider the whole chain --

From the layoffs I've observed Recruiters were some of the top laid off roles.

Less recruiters means prioritization of efforts.

HN Who's hiring is probably a low priority platform. (Recruiter's boss doesn't know what it is, hard to instrument for tracking metrics)

If you really want to know how many jobs are out there it's better to index and crawl all the companies jobs page directly. Albeit much much harder to do than a single HN thread per month.

Truth Social (https://www.truthsocial.com/) | Engineering and Operations Roles | Sarasota, Florida USA or REMOTE (ONSITE preferred for some roles)

We are a social media company dedicated to delivering users an engaging and censorship-free experience. We believe users should be able to freely express themselves and engage with a rich diversity of viewpoints on a progressive, accessible platform. If you are interested in joining a company that is fast-paced, rapidly growing, and committed to free speech, please get in touch.

Our first product is Truth Social, a social media application which launched on 20 February to become #1 in the Apple App Store. We are expanding to other platforms (Web launched, Android native coming soon) and adding functionality, plus working on follow-on products (SVOD, Infrastructure). Our second product, TMTG+, is a Streaming Video on Demand (SVOD) service which provides content users want, without pushing a political agenda. Our product is currently available in the US, Canada, and UK and is expanding throughout the world over the upcoming months.

We're looking for a variety of roles in engineering for these products. Our current team is small and technically excellent, making extensive use of open source software and operating our own infrastructure to remain independent of third party control. We are particularly interested in hiring people from the established social media giants and large SAAS applications who were directly involved in creating software and infrastructure for scaling to hundreds of millions of users and beyond, and who want to do it again in an environment which values freedom of speech and expression.

One system we're particularly proud of is an internally-developed ML moderation system which flags policies in violation of ToS and assists human moderators in keeping the site in compliance with our terms of service while respecting free speech. We are working on open sourcing elements of these tools.

We have current openings listed at https://careers.tmtgcorp.com/

> If a Frenchman doesn't like French laws he can move to Germany and haul all his stuff there (and his pension, etc).

A bit offtopic but this is still something I find very lacking in the EU.

For all the good it's brought us, we still have extremely different social security in each country and if you've lived in many EU countries throughout your life it's a complete PITA to reconcile things like pensions. Some countries have state pensions, others only voluntary corp plans.. I have no idea how this will turn out when I retire.

IMO these different systems should at the very least be talking together.

I'd certainly like more details. The latest CVE number that i can find for such flaws looks to be CVE-2022-30188, which Microsoft claims is patched:

But I will say that there is a disturbing number of such vulnerabilities listed for this codec.
At this point your argument is a classic straw man:

I looks like an ugly copy of those old sony vaio laptops that could fit in a pocket, before it was cool
Putin controls the valves, he doesn't need to blow it up to hurt the Europeans. As it turned out recently it is quite easy to come up with a ton of excuses to stop the supply. With the NS blown there is no leverage anymore. So, IMO this version doesn't hold to scrutiny.
USB-A had a similar problem (but on a much smaller scale). There also was heterogeneity in build quality. But over time features and quality converged. I think we should expect something similar here.
How are you handling the printing / logistics aspect? Those are a black box to me. :)
'Americans earning >200K/yr' is a pretty small market to be targeting.

The average earner, especially outside the US, is already overburdened by recurring bills and subscriptions, especially during the energy crisis.

When even Netflix is losing subscribers rapidly, you've got to be offering something pretty special to get a regular low/mid-income person to subscribe.
HN tends to have an interest in anti-authoritarian and anti-corruption stories.
To say that "because consumer devices are already regulated" is not a defensive position to say that gov't "should regulate this new thing." That is merely an argument for precedent. In my view the gov't should demonstrate that the injury is overwhelming enough to necessitate intervention. This is not. It is a mere inconvenience to have two connector types. The EU should err on the side of conservative intervention so as not to cool innovation or even signal the cooling of innovation. This does not overcome that burden of proof for me.
