But this is a skilled profession. How relevant is it that there are fewer young people in general?

Should we expect the number of top basketball players to stagnate as well?

I get that there's far more software jobs than Pro sports, but is it relevant that world population is coming down? You'd think perhaps something like the number of CS graduates might matter most.

I moved to a $5 DigitalOcean droplet running Dokku (dokku.com).

To answer your questions:

1) 2 hours for 8 apps — most work was setup of new DNS and testing

2) I have very litte experience in DevOps

3) I think its totally worth it for the additional flexibility and the super cheap cost

4) Just $5 - can’t beat that

5) 8 Ruby Sinatra sites w/ a total of 20k hits/month

This is incorrect. It was a voluntary standard signed on by a non-binding MoU. All Manufacturers were free to "break" the agreement when moving to USB-C. Now they are stuck on USB-C until a new law is written.
You must be a hoot at parties! :)

Look I'm not saying it's an impossibility but I don't think it's very likely any time soon.

> Most people will die gruesome prolonged deaths from starvation, broken bones or radiation

Most people die a pretty shitty death from cancer / degenration / dementia. I can't see how you can escape that, it awaits us all .(btw why the south? Are they immune to nuclear winter / food shortages / climate change?)
The police in the US have become too powerful, too uncontrollable. There seems to be no accountability. If the department and union wants to, they can defend and cover up any crime committed by their folks. It's very odd that majority of the people think this is ok. This is just another case where the department knowingly did the illegal thing, but the courts are protecting them too. Overall it's quite appalling.
Buy it already and be done with all drama. Let us see how Elon turn Twitter into a good or bad product ;) I am unsure if it is some master stroke or just, you know, another pump and dump schema. Maybe lawyers finally told Elon there is no exit strategy, and it is best to stick with teh original deal. Perhaps he finally figured out what to do with Twitter or got rid of cold feet. Who knows?
Well, let's check back in a couple years. :-) To me, from the tone of the Ars article and browsing the CFI website, it seems clear they will not be satisfied with this minor victory.
> if Apple truly believes their lightning connector is better, what was the better play here?

The better play would've been to open up the Lightning connector specification such that other vendors could standardize on it, and then all users of all phones would have been better off.
Would this work for Dolby Vision et al?
Yeah. Due to this topic I actually thought "oh, good idea, I should automatically download my whole Google data once every month; better safe than sorry". Then I realized that this might get me banned, because actual bad actors probably do that as well.
Even if indemnification is not required by law, it's frequently written into the terms of many employment contracts and collective bargaining agreements. A recent study [1] using public records requests found that virtually all officers are indemnified, meaning they don't have to personally satisfy a judgement against them.

I think they're referring to the official F1TV app, which is region restricted in UK because of an exclusivity agreement between SkyTV and Formula One Group.

F1TV also added DRM this season, so open source clients for it no longer work. You're allowed to view up to 6 simultaneous cameras with your subscription (There's the main feed, the map view, the data view, and 20 onboard cameras). But there's no easy way to do this now aside from having 6 chrome windows with all their chonky borders taking up space, or using 6 different devices.

RaceControl [0] is an amazing open source client that offered split screen and synchronization of the videos (F1's own app has the onboard cameras about 20s ahead of the main feed, which means you either had to manually delay them all yourself or you get spoilers). Now it only works for archivee races.

Which is ridiculous because someone with an HDMI splitter can still strip the DRM and stream it illegally.

I'm probably going to end my subscription after this season and switch to watching pirated streams, because I'm being punished for having the gall to be a paid subscriber.

In case robvdpol is an HN member, thanks for all the work you put into RaceControl. It was the best way to watch the sport.
Great article as it puts a face to people who don't like being documented based on their religious convictions. The appear to be disenfranchised from voting.

I don't own any of them, but sometimes get them from the library for interview prep. Totally over the top for that, but sometimes inbetween googling and overcomplicated other books it's a nice relief to read through these lines, into which very obviously a lot of thought has gone. The opposite of all the fast-lived crap we have to deal with on a daily basis, and therefore also useful for the job. Motivating, I would say.

A copy personally autographed by Knuth will be up for auction in the Gathering For Gardner fund raiser.

I am relatively unfamiliar with these books, but the fact that Knuth publishes them in “fascicles” is hilariously intriguing. I have a superficial understanding of Knuth’s character as a programmer but I get the impression that the work is portrayed in a folksy, arcane sort of way.

Am I far off?
I think I used the wrong term. Or a vague one. I'm talking about the difference between a rope used to tie down cargo in a truck and one used by a climber for safety.

Doing a quick search for "rigging rope" shows me all sorts of tree-climbing ropes as well, so I should have said "cargo hold down rope" or something.
If you're running a project with a database, you need to take into account the cost of a Hobby dyno and a database add-on. I believe the cheapest Heroku Postgres plan is $9/mo.

So, if you had a light-traffic, or demo, or staging project that was using the free dyno & postgres offering, you went from $0/mo to $16/mo. That's a big jump, depending on your use case.

I'm all for well-restricted free offerings that let you try a platform; Heroku absolutely needed to change its plan. But if the cheapest web app with a db plan is $16/mo, people are going to look for something closer to $5/mo for their low-load deployments.

If I'm wrong about any of this, I'd love to know.

>the west of Europe has a historical bias towards freedom of expression etc

what?? since when ... ? Spain (franco, Spanish Inquisition)? France (Robespierre, Napoleon)? Germany? Italy(Mousolini)? ...

most countries are now leaning towards freedom od expression, yet freedom of sppech is much more restricted compared to the US (and other countries) for example ...
the term western does not make sense at all in this context.

I sounds to me similar to "Judeo Christian values" something made up to exclude people.
In early UO, say Beta through the first few months of production, I knew a lot of folks who were primarily crafts folk. The town blacksmith, that sort of thing. After a while most players developed mules who had GM blacksmith skill or whatever so it became less of a thing.

But even then there were people out there. One woman I knew spent most of her time as an interior decorator for people's houses. It was a fun element that I never really saw in other games.

I do think to a large extent it came from the genre of game being new and every play style getting mushed into one game. People looking for the more pure social RP type role will congregate in a game catering to that, while the hack & slash adventure types will go elsewhere.
> for reasonable salaries

I think this is the key here. Clojure developers are expensive (see the Stack Overflow charts for how being a Clojure dev essentially guarantees a great salary) — but that's not because of them being Clojure developers, but rather because of them being more experienced, knowledgeable, and flexible than your "average" developer.

If you start a business and use Clojure, you should expect to hire more expensive developers. You will, however, need fewer of them, so this might all balance out in the end, especially as we all know that teams don't scale infinitely.
I'm clearly just an idiot, but I thought that qualified immunity was to protect officials from liability while they are performing their duties in a reasonable manner, in the heat of the moment.

I fail to see why it should protect the police from engaging in cold, calculated retribution of perceived enemies.
It's pretty easy to enforce static typing in python these days. mypy and pyright are both pretty mature.
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.

However, a Google Trends query[0] (limited to the USA) indicates that the growth in "pepper" queries is pretty constant (the bra brand apparently launched in 2017). That makes intentional SEO gaming more likely again.

This assumes that it is in the government’s interest to dictate the kind of cable used to charge phones, and that making the “wrong” choice is such a bad outcome that industry needs to “self-regulate”.

Perhaps the EU should step in to force industry to do what is right in all cases, not just charging cables:

- ban e2e encryption - pedos and criminals use it

- mandate client-side CSAM scanning on all devices, report directly to local police instead of going through untrustworthy Apple (they can’t even get charging cables right, can we trust them to protect your child?)

- require all new devices to be tamper resistant so you can’t get around EU laws

- require all phones to be the same shape and size so that citizens can re-use screen protectors and cases in perpetuity

- ban purple devices - it offends EU bureaucrats, and obviously the continued existence of purple phones is evidence of the industry’s failure to self-regulate. EU bureaucrats know better than the market and always have.

I used to believe there was a future in having a "heroku-like" PaaS on top of your AWS/GCP/Azure. Enough so that I tried to built a company that would be an offering in the space.

The reality is that each of the major cloud providers have gotten so good that it basically defeats the purpose of having your own PaaS on top of them. For 95% of cases, the default products from each cloud provider is good enough now. It's all very easy now.

So the remaining bucket from Heroku that still needs to be filled is for those who have small or side projects and aren't willing to pay (a lot) for hosting. If you're trying to build a business around these "customers", you will be in a world of hurt and just racing to the bottom dollar.
Interesting take. So you'd say that a non-zero amount of child murders is good? Something to be maintained?
According to your link, compliance was voluntary. Its in the second sentence.
IMO Volume 1 isn't that useful because it's mostly setting up the mathematical and architectural foundations. Knowing how to evaluate limits and recurrence relations isn't particularly valuable knowledge for the average programmer.

I enjoyed the dancing links stuff from a recent fascicle. I used it to build a sudoku solver in C. So it's moderately useful.
> Americans today have no idea why they celebrate labor day. It comes and goes with the media and government glossing over it as a "long weekend".

It's worse. Americans have no idea that May Day is a holiday that originated in America. Instead, our government changed May 1 into "Law Day," the holiday when we celebrate obeying the law, and created a fake-ass state "Labor Day."

this isnt a constitutional bill of rights, this is an ancillary proposed body of law regarding digital rights.

A set of five principles developed by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy embodies the core of the AI Blueprint:

"Safe and Effective Systems," which emphasizes community feedback in developing AI systems and protections from "unsafe" AI;

"Algorithmic Discrimination Protections," which proposes that AI should be deployed in an equitable way without discrimination;

"Data Privacy," which recommends people should have agency over how data about them is used;

"Notice and Explanation," which means that people should know how and why an AI-based system made a determination;

"Human Alternatives, Consideration, and Fallback," which recommends that people should be able to opt out of AI-based decisions and have access to a human's judgment in the case of AI-driven mistakes.
What is the injury to the consumer they are really solving for? To buy a 3rd party USB-C or Lightning cable is comparable. They both charge your phone. They both allow for USB-A,B,C, MP3 adapters ad-infinitum. Is the injury that someone has to carry, wait..., 2 DIFFERENT CABLES!
SQLite is probably not compatible with community contributions. They seem to be very optimized to the stability and reliability of SQLite rather than features. Which is why people use it over other solutions.
Which is a problem easily solved with a cheap USB ethernet dongle, and again while the general mainstream computing audience may or may not have those I think it's reasonable to assume that the average person who has chosen to install OpenWRT probably wishes laptops still came with ethernet ports and purchased an adapter immediately or soon after.

Maybe I'm wrong about that, but to me OpenWRT means geek audience, and geeks generally understand the value of a wired connection.
IMO you should flip the question around. How do you get very very good at your current skill / job, and then over time find creative ways to:

- apply it in other adjacent fields
- gain more autonomy and creativity
- craft the work-life you want

I recommend reading -- So Good They Can't Ignore you by Cal Newport, read it!
Yes, I suppose if you want to charge your phone in a dozen locations, and you want a separate cable for every location, that will be what you need to do. It doesn't seem like a major hardship to me, having lived through a few connector changes, like the 30-pin to lightning switch, but I suppose it may be more of an issue for others.
> clourescript is not worth the hassle

ClojureScript is one of the main reasons why Clojure makes sense in my business. I can use the same language and share the same business logic code between the server and the browser app. That's huge!

Also, I avoid a load of problems related to communication and serialization, because the native serialization format is EDN, e.g. Clojure data structures. There is no need to adapt your data structures to the limitations of, say, JSON.
The problem with text is that it takes a lot of writing to describe complex interactions and the reader checks out somewhere in the first quarter of your prose.

Assuming the default failure mode of the battery is degraded capacity.

Touch (also popped the screen out).

I actually went through the trouble and looked for the evidence missing from your post. If anything we need to look at Asia most of all. Also because at least for Germany, where through decades long contacts I witnessed some of it personally, we (Germany) transferred significant know-how to China quite voluntarily, and our big companies still insist on continuing to invest there even when many smaller businesses have become far more cautious.
