Detasked is a definite problem, but I’m more concerned about the reverse, which is being overwhelmed by customer input. Once the party starts it’s too late to change some things. Everything is a priority queue and louder more charismatic voices will push out you quality of life concerns.

Edit: but in this thread what I’m talking about is skill. The longer you wait to practice a skill that you will need in abundance, the more likelihood that you will fail outright. You need a long runway for operational excellence.
I personally suspect that their minds were broken by the great recession spoiling them. They already got in the habit of unreasonable demands in employees, this seems like an extension of that dysfunction to me.
The issue is that they're not idiots but rational intelligent people that can understand different rewards. They can always get a new job and if the payout if higher from nuking the company along the way then it's rational for them to be biased that way.
Note: if you are using your favorite Rust framework like actix, rocket, etc, and don't have a positive feedback, graphul is not for you, graphul is for javascript, python, ruby, or rust developer that wants to start building microservices with rust with a friendly syntax like express or flask.

I don't like discussions about what programming languages or frameworks are better than another, Golang vs Rust, etc

thanks, be positive :)

Turn the parties in this argument around and see if you think it still holds.

J. Random Hacker acquires and uses a copy of some of GitHub's, or Microsoft's source. When sued, the defense says that the code was not taken directly from GH/MS, just copied from a newsgroup where it had been posted. Does this get J. off the hook?
Where the "company office" just happens to be a (from GP comment we are all replying to) "fancy SF and NYC apartment" in a residential building?

I mean, I'm not a lawyer or CPA, and I'd advise any HN readers to consult such before deciding on a tax strategy based on HN thread. Because, also, yeah, no.

Honestly, if you are sleeping in an actual office as your primary residence, you probably technically have to include the fair market value as income on your personal taxes, but if you're really on a couch in an office building maybe you can get away with it (until the landlord of the office building kicks you out because it's not zoned for or up to code for residential and thus illegal for them to rent to you for that purpose). If it's a residential apartment... sounds like out and out tax fraud to me. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal or tax advice.
eh, I wouldn't consider possible and not possible approximately the same no matter how close they are.

I'm honestly in much doubts here. To make it proper reply it must be lengthy, will try to highlight at least several points and keep it short.

* finding FreeBSD guys, who probably the best match here is somewhat puzzle on its own

* highly likely common approaches in modern world would fail - cloud-init, systemd units to be adopted, not even mentioning Docker/podman and highly likely monitoring/metrics tooling. Not checked, but very unsure NewRelic or Datadog are compatible => admins will not be able to use their previous skillset effectively

* convincing people to join team of supporting OpenBSD systems can be somewhat tricky. I'm basing on my own feelings here - I'd rise the bar for salary 2 times and even that will think twice on should I spend my time on such experience

* leaving performance alone, I bet it will require extra hardware planning instead of buying any Supermicro/HP/whatever server and be sure it's Redhat compatible. Must be very serious reasons to put yourself in chores of this sort. And reasonable admins must consider such risks and delays for rollouts of products in production

So on.
The most obvious missing one:

(c) You start wasting a lot of time fixing the features you previously shipped but broke later.

When you start to waste so much time manually testing stuff, and realizing that something you implemented and worked two weeks ago, but now doesn't because someone forgot to check that their new work didn't break the old one.
Oh no, not cultural appropriation! How absolutely dare she!
> Strange choice. There's no shortage of minimalist desktop-oriented distros out there. Even if you specifically want a musl-based distros, Void Linux has a minimal base image which is probably a better starting point.

Why not? Alpine is a perfectly good distro.

> I don't see much advantage in forcing an embedded/VM-oriented distro to do desktop work - how much fun are you going to have with device drivers, for example?

What? Alpine is a Linux distro; it has the same drivers as everything else. And it packages desktop stuff just fine; I've never had a problem using it.

EDIT: I should qualify "never" - I've had less trouble using Alpine as a desktop than Void, let's say. Some programs aren't portable enough to handle musl, but that's a different issue.

My point being is that barring any proof of cheating, merely graduating from an elite university does indicate some level of competence. It requires some very hard work which in STEM not just anyone could do, and therefore it is unfair to say this is some god given privilege

Also, you cannot say how many of these graduates had access to the advantages you’ve listed above, and how much of the general population as a whole does
It likely will go through but the new company will be forced to sell hundreds of stores in areas where the combined chain dominates. This is pretty common when grocery chains merge and it's likely they've already planned out various maps to suggest to the FTC. The company of course will like to minimize store sales (though they might take the opportunity to get rid of some low performing, expensive to operate stores) and the FTC will try to maximize competition in the overlapping markets.
It also suggested waiting for multiple "confirmations", i.e. further mined blocks on top, to reduce the risk of a blockchain history reorganization. 6 confirmations is generally regarded as full confirmation.
That speaks more about the people you're surrounded by than it does the incredible people actually doing the very interesting work of developing the bitcoin ecosystem behind the scenes.

It is a shame that your only exposure to the space comes from pump monkeys who don't understand that a blockchain is barely more than a distributed linked list (hell, it's basically just glorified git) and the real innovation was not the data structure, but the integration of proof of work to create Byzantine fault tolerance.

> Achieving a robust, end-to-end user visual experience remains the utmost priority for VESA’s DisplayPort specification, whether across a native DisplayPort cable, via DisplayPort Alt Mode (DisplayPort over the USB Type-C connector), or tunneled through the USB4 link.

Wake me when I can put a random Nvidia or AMD card in my PC and connect a random monitor, AND have the monitor's USB ports work with only two cables on the monitor (one for power, one to the PC). Bonus points for one cable. Apple's ecosystem has had this for years, but why does my gaming PC and monitor still need a separate USB cable between them for full functionality? My GPU already handles my sound, can't it handle being a USB host device, too?
This is how I look at it as well. The government can't come knocking because I have opinions.

The conclusion of this article does not follow from its premise. "Hydranencephalous babies are conscious, so materialist views of consciousness are wrong and dualism is the only explanation."

I am not familiar with hydranencephaly so I might be wrong here but, from what I can find, patients with the condition usually have some cerebral structures intact, it's just the cerebral hemispheres that are missing. Patients appear to be conscious, and react to varying degrees to their environment, though their sensory and cognitive abilities are severely impaired or outright missing. The exact degree to which they are conscious strikes me as unknowable, but there seems to be at least some level of consciousness there. All good.

Wouldn't this situation lend credence to the materialist explanation? A human being born with only basic cerebral structures intact displays only basic levels of consciousness.

The author claims that these babies are "interactive, and show a full range of emotions" and uses that as evidence for a dualist view of consciousness. He seems to conveniently ignore the severe limitations that these patients show, which appear to track fairly well with the severity of the condition. No dualism required here, at least in my view.

Now, if the author were to show evidence of a patient who displays some level of consciousness while missing all cerebral structures, I think he'd be onto something. But that's not a thing, as far as I'm aware. A materialist view should be able to explain how these patients appear to be conscious while missing large parts of their brains, and it hasn't done it so far. That is not an argument in favour of the opposing view.
> We really don't, since it's been beautifully illustrated through Google's actions over the years.

You've proven that it should be changed to "If something free is Google's, you are the product".

Free things I'm benefiting from right now (right as I write this): Hacker News, Firefox, Linux, a keyboard a friend gifted me, a video of a guy talking about the color brown, the electricity paid by my landlord. I also just took out the trash which will be picked up, for free, by the city.

I'm the "product" of none of these things. They are paid for, indirectly, just as pretty much everything is. Just as for example, your volunteering time is paid for by your other actions in life allowing you to give this time away.

So what we should maybe change it to is closer to: "If something is free, it's just fucking free and there can be a host of reasons as to why so stop thinking in soundbites and employ critical thinking instead of being cynical about everything."
Just keep your objects live, attach reusable scratch space to them, and memory pool them instead of throwing them away.

Right. It calls their bluff and makes them actually present a case in a court of law. There are no regulations or laws involved when the DOJ tells payment processors to blacklist journalists they don't like and the payment processors are happy to comply without it.
>"She argued that the trainings were specific to the shop and low quality."

Then I think this undermines the employees stance that the trainings were unnecessary. The employer is essentially saying licensure isn't enough to ensure their quality standard, so additional training is necessary. (Granted, there's probably a likelihood of legal gamesmanship going on with both sides). To me, it would really depend on how "specific to the shop" it was. Since the lawsuit was dismissed, I'm assuming it was specific enough to be what you classify as "onboarding."

I get your point on the legislation, but just to illustrate my point about the lines being blurry: you brought up MUMPS and that being niche training. However, it's also the program that underlies the Veterans Affairs VISTA platform. Meaning, if you're trained in MUMPS you could foreseeably transfer those skills to one of the largest healthcare networks in the nation, as well as the companies that have gotten billions of dollars to upgrade that system. So even a "niche" program has plenty of wiggle room to determine if it's really transferable. Not only that, they've now trained you on a system that has billions of dollars in demand and little supply of programmers. That seems pretty valuable.
Why ignore the second half of that sentence in your response?

I directly implied that many mentally ill people contribute huge value.

It's also a testament to DigitalOcean that it wasn't painful or expensive to partially migrate away from their services.

Curious note: the opcode space of the Z80 was best viewed in octal, not hex. The first 2 bit decoded the instruction class e.g. 01 was the MOV set of instructions. The next 3 bits were register destination; the last three were register source?

Registers were numbered [0-7] b,c,d,e,h,l,m,a if I remember right. h and l were 'high' and 'low' part of the 16-bit indirect 'm' memory address.

So in octal, 134 was "mov e,h".

You now know 1/4 of the entire Z80 instruction set!

2) cwm provides virtual desktops through grouping. That desktop pictured is what I use for email, IRC, Matrix, and RSS/newsboat.

3) Would I be better off in the console with tmux? No. Could I survive on the console? Yes. I use a web browser and another terminal in desktop 2, and other GUI programs in another virtual desktop. There are very few pieces of software I can't use on OpenBSD; Some people even play Steam games on it!

4) OpenBSD base is exquisite and the operating system itself is so easy to configure and maintain compared to GNU/Linux. It's simplicity and 'retro' configuration doesn't take away from its power or usability in modern computing (for all those saying it looks like an old GNU/Linux screenshot).

Unlike GNU/Linux and the linux kernel itself, the direction of OpenBSD has never and will never be dictated by corporate need or greed. The licence is arguably more open, allowing both innovation in open source and commercial use - but you would never see, for example, Elon Musk's next obsession making its way into the kernel because it was fashionable.

Meanwhile, Ubuntu continues on its downward spiral, Debian has just voted to include firmware blobs by default, and don't get me started on what macOS has become - or should I say 'iMacOS'.

I really wish Redux hadn't fallen out of favor so dramatically. In my experience a large proportion of the problems people ran into stemmed from the fact that the elegantly architected, unidirectional data flow model often had to mate with HTTP/REST backends, which fundamentally force you into a request/response model. This results in a combinatorial explosion of states and transitions you have to care about with respect to "in-flight", "error", "canceled", "received", etc. parts of the request/response lifecycle.

The other issues people had like boilerplate and massive reducer files I think were solvable with various conventions or tools, but forcing an interface between unidirectional data and request-response seemed like an intractable problem.

I've wondered for awhile if there could have been some way of extending the unidirectional flow all the way back to the server in a way that could solve this mismatch in a cleaner manner.
> broken for months before anyone noticed

Great case in point. If nobody noticed, can you really tie it to revenue? Did sales fail because prospects couldn't use the help? Did customers churn because they didn't want to pay for something broken? No? Then it doesn't matter that it's "broken". Unless it affects the bottom line somehow, even in the most tenuous way, then from a business/financial perspective, arguably nothing is actually "broken".

> Every time the login functionality broke, two engineers came to tell me or my teammate that login was broken before the CI build had even completed.

So, technically, somebody manually tested it, right? Ideally, the executives should have been pressuring you to do a better job and not force other teams to catch your bad work, but it's fine if it's a rare-ish occurrence.

But React hasn't broken userspace, at least not in regards to hooks and class components. It is still possible to develop a React app today, from scratch, using only class components. Similarly, just because Deno exists does not mean that Node has stopped existing, or even being developed. As far as I can tell, "userspace" is as safe as ever.

But as someone who often has to jump into unknown codebases and get up-to-speed quickly

I'm not sure how long you've been in development but eventually you just learn to "expect magic" with frameworks and after awhile they all blur together. Show me the docs on the decorators, the pipeline, how it handles global context etc and it's all pretty much the same core concepts repeated across different languages.

To your later point, yes, frameworks should be a terse DSL. I expect a framework to make good "magic" assumptions that enable me to benefit from packaged functionality that would often be more verbose in lower-level implementations.

without needing to resort to external documentation to understand

That's not a thing. RTFM. Or a good code inspection tool if you really hate docs.
