Ah and here it is. You're just very, very blatantly taking your biases from writing C and applying them to Rust. Do you just... Not believe every single blog post where people say "it was a bit harder to write, but it basically does what you want once you get it to compile"?

Are you just ignoring the NVME kernel driver dev who said literally the same thing about a quick naive implementation that is nearly as performant without optimization as the one that has been in tree and tuned for years?

This insistence on naysaying and defending a categorically indefensible language is baffling to me. How many major companies and products have to move to Rust and adopt it? Do y'all really convince yourselves that everyone is just in some hype train? Is this what it's like to not being able to inspect a technology and disambiguate hype from something real?
The State of AWS Security
"we" is clearly referring to the history of the U.S., the history which has led to you having a cushy, high-paying desk job doing whatever you do, and which has led to an enormous under-representation of black people in the workplace. You don't get to ignore the history that has led to the life you currently live just because Genghis Khan burned down your (great)^30th ancestor's village. It has nothing to do with that.

> I'm supposed to pay the price for your crimes

Whose crimes, the person you're replying to? Do you believe in some sort of original sin handed down by your ancestors? Your blood is pure because your ancestors were victims, but GP's blood is tainted because their ancestors were slave owners? You're making some seriously insane judgements based on a person's ancestry.

And who's paying any price anyway? Hiring from a limited pool of candidates is sub-optimal. What price are you even talking about?
Isn't that one of those clickfarm blogs?
Yes, you absolutely should fix the funding gap in schools. 100%. I was really liking your comment until I got to the self-pitying complaints about being called a racist.

The alt-right likes to call progressives "cucks". There are tumblerinas who call conservatives "fascists". That's what HN calls "free speech" - if you want to cry about it, try Facebook
You posted dozens of flamewar comments in this thread. That's extreme, and you have a history of doing it and ignoring our requests to stop. I've therefore banned this account as well as some others. Please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with. Religious flamewars are not what this site is for.

Frankly, all the other commenters who jumped straight into the pit of hell with you are more responsible than you are, but we can't have people abusing HN this egregiously.

I also don't understand the lack of formal specification in today's dev culture.

So what can you do to convince supervisors to stop bloating up the process of software development?

---

The agile movement is in some ways a bit like a teenager: very self-conscious, checking constantly its appearance in a mirror, accepting few criticisms, only interested in being with its peers, rejecting en bloc all wisdom from the past, just because it is from the past, adopting fads and new jargon, at times cocky and arrogant. But I have no doubts that it will mature further, become more open to the outside world, more reflective, and therefore, more effective.

Is your argument that if you get paid too little and this is public, then your next gig won't pay you more because they know this? If so, can you expand a little on why that would be the case?

If apple would just make iCloud not completely fucking garbage for windows OR support gaming on Mac (even just in the capacity of supporting Vulkan on metal) I would swap today.

I’ve used iPhones and Android Phones for so long I can confidently say I have only three complaints:

Lack of windows support OR gaming support on mac

Apple Maps using yelp is fucking stupid

Not letting all apps use safari extensions

If they could fix those three things, I would literally instantly go out and spend 3000+ dollars on a new top spec MacBook Pro and IPad Pro.

> With the way machine learning networks work, they don't really learn one-off high-entropy strings like API keys.

This can't be true. Copilot used to reproduce code to the inverse square root function from Quake source literally. They blocked it off by blacklisting the function name. Given that, why would learning API keys be impossible?

> This is possible because Intel is more "open" and readily shares their hardware literature / SDKs with developers and that is why we have had many custom, decent and performant hypervisor solution on Intel Macs. But Apple has been loathe to release similar literature for their ARM SoCs because they don't want independent competitive alternatives to their system softwares.

Access to virtualization features is provided through the hypervisor framework for both intel and apple silicon products. If you have an existing Intel architecture product you might be upset that Apple is going to disable your ability to use virtualization directly via a kext.

But, I have a hard time imagining someone really wanting to use their own hand crafted hypervisor rather than the one Apple built on Apple Silicon for running on Apple operating systems - especially since Apple has committed to providing additional hard things like paravirtualized hardware.
Excellent, thanks. I've never used Tailscale before.

"[...] we started to notice some trends in the opposite direction of what we expected: for technical ability, it appeared that men who were modulated to sound like women did a bit better than unmodulated men and that women who were modulated to sound like men did a bit worse than unmodulated women."

Another data point that suggests that instead of suffering from systemic negative bias, women are really enjoying systemic positive bias.
It's weird to me that in my home country, Italy, "sex addition" is not seen as a problem at all, and I suspect this would be true for many other countries with similar cultural background (e.g. Mediterranean/Western cultures).

The first time I saw a movie where the protagonist was a "sex addict" and was going to group therapy, akin to AA, I couldn't believe it. At that point I was abroad, working for a US company. I eventually moved to the US a few years later.

At some point I realized that my bias towards this came from my cultural background, and it was actually hard to explain it to co-workers, or other Americans in general.

It will exist next year. Cassandra is getting HA ACID transactions (depending how you define C; we won't be getting foreign key constraints by then) that will be fast. Typically as fast (in latency terms) as a normal eventually consistent operation. Depending on the read/write balance and complexity, they may even result in a reduction in cluster resource utilisation. For many workloads there will be additional costs, but it remains to be discovered exactly how much. I hope it will be on that sort of scale.

>It also has some, terribly slow, lightweight transactions

FWIW, LWTs are much (2x) faster in 4.1 (which has been very slowly making its way out the door for a while now... the project is mostly already more focused on 4.2, so pushing 4.1 out the door is tortuous for procedural reasons)
Let's ignore gravity for a moment.

Think of a rotating chain in space, the chain is weightless, but each ring needs to apply enough centripetal force to counter the centripetal force.

Lets focus on the barycenter of the chain.

The centripetal force is limited by the strength of the chain; the centrifugal force is a function of rotation speed, length of the chain, and linear density of the chain.

this means that for any combination of chain type and rotation speed if the chain gets too long it will break.

With a geostationary space elevator you need to build a part of it over geostationary orbit and a part of it below geostationary orbit. the part above will pull the part below and make it "float".

The problem is that the part below needs to be ~100 km long and has still has a weight.

Think of the section of the tether at geostationary orbit as a giant weightless chain link.

The issue is not having that chain link remain suspended, the problem is to have it not break while trying to balance the huge forces.
When comments get downvoted rapidly here, it is usually because their tone is deemed unacceptable by the community. Which, yes, is unabashed tone policing in the most literal sense of the word - but I think that's exactly why HN is much more pleasant to have conversations on than most other platforms online these days.

Also, when something gets downvoted solely for content, if you come back later, it often gets upvoted right back (and then some), with some comments below to the effect that downmodding is not a proper way to express disagreement. I've upvoted greyed-out comments that I strongly disagreed with myself more than once, solely on the basis that they make a valid argument that ought to be a part of the conversation - even if only to debunk it properly.

It's also plausible that women are taking negative feedback/rejection more personally is another factor for giving up early. Or women being more skewed toward negative emotion in general, which is a well-documented trait in behavioral psychology. Or being more "agreeable", i.e. being less likely to "bother" the interviewer by challenging their negative assessment.

The authors of this "study" (if we can even call it that) didn't bother to ask, so we won't know.
The problem with dating sites is that they will always favor the people that don’t “need” them.

Say you build a dating site with the goal of helping guys that have had bad luck on other sites meet girls. One of two things will happen:

1) there will be essentially no women on the site

2) the success stories will bring all of the successful guys from the plethora of other sites, diluting the whole process and ruining the novel concept

Hinge is currently the closest to a holistic dating site, where you can essentially like someone “for” something and they can see what you liked and how you messaged them all for free. It’s actually so much better than tinder that I’m not sure both why tinder still exists as well as how the make money when all of the usual “tinder premium” features are already included for free.

The secret to succeeding at dating apps is to just stop using them. The connections, by and large, are superficial at best and usually lead nowhere. Meanwhile, finding a girl by doing an activity and striking conversation is so much more successful and holistic.

Sorry if I didn't describe it properly, english is not my native language. Giving of opium wouldn't anyhow shorten her lifespan, which was already on a fast spiral down with various organs shutting down, while causing huge amount of continuous pain, and there was nothing current medicine could do to fix it.

Her being in hospital vs being at home was just decision to not die surrounded by nurses and doctors but by family, which is completely understandable and I would opt for it too in same situation.

The fact that even closest folks refused to ease suffering while shielding themselves with at-best dubious christianity-based moral stance of easing/skipping purgatory is just beyond my comprehension.

And yes I truly consider it their moral weakness and failure. Its not about killing in any way, but sedating enough to have their last moments filled with sanity and focus on family, and not screams of huge pain.

> And more importantly, what if the dying person is ok with suffering?

Now this part is complete bullshit, of course she didn't want to suffer, she had brighter moments when she was begging for painkillers. I presume you were never in situation where you suffered huge amount of pain continuously for at least many hours. I experienced it once, and it completely utterly breaks you down mentally. You are willing to do basically anything to make it stop - there is a reason why it is/was used so much to get any intel, at one point everybody breaks, its so overwhelming that people make up anything to make it stop.

I hope its a bit more clear, it was a complex situation to describe fully in few sentences.
Don't misrepresent the problem. Having phonecalls with Putin to discuss terms for the carving up of Ukraine because you buy aluminum for consumer grade vehicles from Russia is the problem here.
in paris prices are not going down that much, they just stay the same. However if you adjust for the 2% inflation a month we're going through, then you can consider real estate prices are crashing.
It's (1) not a witch hunt to say "don't provide financial support to a country committing war crimes", and it's also not a matter of "[leaving] private companies out of politics". Elon Musk has made Tesla (a company he stole) and his own identity essentially interchangeable, his persona has made Tesla's choices de facto political support for Russia. Coupled with his support for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, his support for nuking Ukraine if they ever try to free Crimea, and Musk's desire to get Putin's approval for his "peace plan" before publishing it, we should be looking at how Tesla is operating. We should also be looking at his decision to use Tesla to fund the Russian government, and asking how he is personally being compensated for that support.
> "Were my compensation public, I would forfeit the option to increase it significantly again."

Not at all; you might feel that way, companies will certainly try to make you feel that way, but it's up to you to negotiate and ask for whatever salary you want and companies will generally pay it if it's within their budget. Specially if the company trying to hire you also had public salaries, why do you think it'd limit your growth?
> and the OS config to make 5 displays work

I find this tendency funny. It's kinda crazy we keep building new very hard innovative software to avoid needing to fix boring software.

I bet vscode will never support multiple monitors, even in vr.
Games generally use very little bandwidth so that was not a clever test imo... :)
X11 has always had extensions.

Every frame is perfect requires extreme amounts of coordination. Frequently multiple buffering, which increases latency and increases latency.
All these are costs which most use-cases don't care about.

Under normal conditions, with display managers that don't care, frames are extremely rarely "not perfect". And when they aren't perfect they are seldom "not perfect" for more than a single frame.

This is a fine example of "the perfect is the enemy of the good"
The sheer idiocy of trying to teach a Greek what "oxymoron" means tells me that I probably shouldn't waste the crayons it takes to explain things to you.

I've used drugs. I've generally been casual about it (save for nicotine and sometimes THC), but it means that I've met a few actual users in my time.

Most folks aren't seeing demons, and especially not enough to do a 2-year secret art project while on drugs. It is, honestly, more common for a businessperson to have a secret drug habits.

I'd also like to point out that folks have seen demons for quite some time in history without having it fueled by drugs: Religion can fuel this, especially when combined with little understanding of the observable world around you.

And lastly, just because you don't see anything demonic nor disturbing doesn't actually take away from it being such to others. I put random eyes in artwork sometimes: I like it, but it really makes some folks' skin crawl. They definitely have different opinions than I do.
Not defending Facebook, but that is essentially what capitalism is, and virtually all "successful" companies follow the same path.

Good that the study is done and it gets published.
But the result is obvious and well known. The terrible part is that the solution is also well known (double blind process) but there is no interest to implement it in most journals. Editors have to defend their field from outsiders… editorials do not care as long as money keeps flowing in…
Advertising and alot of it.
That thought is considered sacrilegious for some reason. If we would just start shrinking back to healthy population levels, a lot of problems would disappear. But nooo, an impossible reduction of everyones climate footprint by 10% is offset within 10 years of population growth instead.
actor reentrancy is definitely a big design decision that adds a lot of complexity to something that was supposed to be simple.

yes, technically you can do that.

But if you actually want to __use__ your extension/protocol with someone else, it needs to get accepted into various core libs and repositories.

This is pretty consistent with communication most people get from recruiters: tell me your salary so we can know what you are worth. Back home I have a few screenshots of LinkedIn messages that opened conversations asking for screenshots of pay slips so they could verify. Not suggesting I agree with the practice of course.
It isn’t illegal. The right to discuss your pay publicly, with anyone, is enshrined in British law.

Any contract terms to the contrary are invalid, and actions taken against you for sharing are illegal, and UK employment tribunals take a very dim view of employer misbehaviour.
Sure they do. Apple's ad network is the third largest after Google and Meta.
One year worth of cash is still enough.

I do the same as the OP and the way I deal with inflation is that I just keep adding more money every month. The objective of this stash is not to make a profit or fight inflation, its just to have a good enough amount of money to survive with 0 salary for at least a year. Regardless of whether or not I have a year worth of money, I just keep adding more.
Isn't this salary really low? For comparison, a new grad straight out of undergrad makes like $150k at Amazon (which is the low end of comparative companies).
I think they also pivoted from doing individual cards to just corporate. I had a Brex account and card and they ended up closing all that off. I never got around to using it. I did find Mercury Bank to be pretty good for a business account FWIW.
