You can't guarantee allies' shipbuilding capacity will remain intact in war, or that they won't redirect their shipping or ship-building capacity for other purposes, and without shipping the US cannot meaningfully act globally. Things are relatively stable now and most major US allies seem to be in pretty secure positions (a tad less so right now, sure, but in general, for some decades) but I don't think the smart money's on us getting through this century without at least one big war, possibly not even caused by or involving any of the powers that seem most-likely to kick something off now, so there's no guarantee the major action would be confined to or even primarily in, say, the Pacific theater, meaning that it'd be a good idea to be prepared for any of our allies to be taken off the table early in a conflict (or even for their being on the other side of it).

I agree that the Jones Act sucks, but I do think there's some valid reason behind trying to do what it tried to do.
Your list is missing Grocery Outlet, Target Grocery, Costco, and the smattering of Asian grocers. You could probably also add Amazon Fresh delivery.

But, yes: nobody in our area is under the illusion that Fred Meyer and QFC (or Safeway and Albertsons) compete with each other.
> Again this isn't a settled claim. Automation probably had more to do with the shift in workforce. Moreover all advanced economies have shifted to more service work, without necessarily experiencing some of the same difficulties as the US.

I don't buy it - US manufacturing simply wasn't competitive with overseas prices. If it was just automation, it would still be here - only automated. It's not.
Based purely on the name and a super quick scroll through the github page, it's probably the Lattice ice-series of chips, even more probably the ice40. There are a couple boards with ice40 chips out there that you can use fully OSS tooling for from synthesis to PnR to programming.
Those are not good examples. One is sugar water with extremely high profit margins, and the other is likely sold as a loss leader or at most, at cost.

Food prices have been changing for a long time, but only if you pay attention to quantity and ingredients. With gas prices, the unit quantity or ingredient cannot change, so the change is obvious. Same with things like milk and eggs and vegetables though, which do change often.

With processed food, the seller has much more ability to maneuver around having to increase price.

Indeed. I've got a crew replacing my coils & dehumidifier as I type this.

Criminal - someone who commits a crime, by breaking criminal law (as contrasted with civil law). Examples of criminal laws include prohibitions on inciting a riot or human trafficking.

Law enforcement agencies are certainly corrupt with their own incentives, but people with resources to hire many expensive lawyers are best able to protect their own rights. They're also best able to delay the legitimate workings of the system, which is why talk about "extended period of times" is irrelevant. It's called "due process", and we afford it to the accused even though it makes the process slower.

The point about the FBI unjustly persecuting people is not an argument that immediately indicts every action by the system - treating it as such is fundamentally nihilism. As awareness of valid institutional criticism spreads throughout society, it is also taken advantage of by bad faith actors to distract from their misdeeds. A similar dynamic is Russia using valid criticism of the US empire to cover for their own immediate imperial genocide. At best, the argument is an indication to be skeptical of the FBI's narrative and to insist on a high standard of proof - both things that an army of well paid lawyers and publicists are already handling.
This is really all that needs to be quoted to show what nonsense you're trying to pull:

> there's some widespread belief that a DAW should be a tool for musicians [...] I have no idea what I said that made you believe I was suggesting that musicians should not use DAWs.

And the rest of your comment is more holier-than-thou nonsense, mostly baseless and not accurate to any reality that I've ever heard of, much less experienced.

> DAWs used to mimic mixing consoles, but increasingly do not

Except all of the buttons and faders and everything else still look the same. You're completely making things up, and even your made up things don't prove your point. No other DAW developer or audio engineer in the world would back up your claim that DAWs aren't meant to be used by musicians.

> I know hundreds of professional musicians. Most of them know almost nothing about audio engineering other than a few buzzwords.

I've met thousands of musicians in my life, and 90%+ of them understand the basics of audio production. The musicians you know can't be very professional if they haven't ever encountered a situation where they learned anything about audio.

> You don't appear to be aware of the fact that I am a DAW developer

Because apparently my work in the field is irrelevant and I couldn't possibly know anything, right? Every company developing DAWs is primarily engineered by musicians. Just because other non-musical engineers get involved, doesn't make my statement any less factual. There are other aspects to software development (even in DAWs) that don't have anything to do with audio. As "someone in the field," you should know that.

Wow I put a few b+w photos, initially shot in colour so I can compare how it did, and it more or less nailed it—great work.

my four year old can dress himself. my 10 year old can cook and make breakfast or lunch for himself and his little brother. not every day, only occasionally on weekends, but it helps. breakfast and lunch is also served in school. the older one helps with housework. the kids can wash themselves and go to bed on their own. that really takes care of most of the work.

i work from home. we spend plenty of time together. doing housework is family time.

there is no homework. if the kids come home with work that they need help with, then i'll have a talk with the teacher. homework is a practice that should be abolished. but if it is given, it should be tasks that the kids can do on their own in order to practice what they learned. if a child can not do their homework on their own, then by definition the teacher didn't teach them yet (or failed), and the homework was not appropriate. homework is not the place for the children to catch up what they didn't learn in school.
It might make sense to revisit your stance given the most recent JEPs that have been introduced. Java 19 introduced virtual threads and structured concurrency, which will arguably make Java + the JVM a great alternative to Go, etc. Especially since it's very backward compatible.

W/ Graal as well, the AOT compilation comes 90% of JIT performance.

I really think the JVM is an exciting eco-system that has a very bright future if it keeps going the way it is. Brian Goetz' "Paving the on-ramp" discusses how to reduce the boilerplate even further. So these things are definitely a priority for the Java/JVM team[0].

40hours a week is 8 hours a day. Let's say you sleep 8 hours. Let's also be conservative and say you have a 1 hour commute each way.

That's still 6 hours left. It's pretty easy to find some socialization time in there unless you're taking 4 hour long showers.

This isn't just theoretical, _clearly_ many people socialize in the evenings.

Conversational errors can also be fatiguing. Often what you want is something short and dry that can be pattern matched. Compilers are pretty good at this because all their errors start the same way.

Error in file foo/bar.c, line 32, missing semicolon.

No conversation needed. These can then be complemented with more conversational language on the next line to explain why semicolon is needed. Rust is quite good at this.
Ask HN: Back End as a Service for Clojure?
Hi Hackers. Although I can handle both backend and frontend, I am planning a new project where the interesting part is on the client side. Backend needs are pretty straightforwards:

- Registration, authentication with option to use social login (Google, Facebook, ...)

- a few simple database tables, maybe a file storage

- Subcsription monthly billing using Stripe

- a few endpoints doing some custom processing

I'd like to avoid having any backend at all, and try using some of the numerous existing Backend as a Service tools, that I can self-host. My criteria are:

1. must be lightweight and easy to self-host, Open Source

2. must support writing and serving custom API, preferably using Clojure or JVM

3. should support relational DB

4. should support social login, user registration flows out of the box

5. must have a nice REST API, I don't care about client SDK language wrappers

6. nice to have a Stripe Billing support out of the box or as an add-on

I looked at the documentation for Parse, Supabase, AppWrite, Pocketbase and a few other solutions. They all fail the first criteria, since they mostly require a plethora of services running in multiple docker containers. So far, my favourite is Pocketbase. Looks really nice, but it seems the only way to extend it to use it as a library in a Go-based project, which is not my cup of tea.

Do you have some recommendation about such a platform that I could check?
China (and Chinese people) was one of the major beneficiaries of your detested "neo-liberalism".
It's all the same, someone has a need and you give them a solution.

That need is either driven by business wanting to improve the software or by technical wanting to improve the software. product doesn't belong in there.

product will never identify that a technical change will enable new things, for example. The ones who can do that aren't allowed in the conversation.

On a related note, it would be cool if there was a "coding mode" mobile keyboard option. We have built-in keyboards for phone number and formatters for particular things.

I am a limey brit, when I was at school there was another boy with some pretty serious mental health issues, social issues, issues at home. No one bullied him. But I remember watching him and realising there was a non-zero chance he would kill himself that week/month/year. It must be weird being in the US and doing the same sad calculation but adding a "maybe killing us too" factor. Watching him and wondering why he is wearing a long coat on such a warm day etc...
That's the point. This misunderstanding was made by the presenter. And the "joke" is that once this misunderstanding has been made, the follow-on misunderstanding is that all "tier 1" priority tasks will be completed in the time it takes to complete one "tier 1" priority task.

Regardless of what you call it, only one thing can truly be top priority at any given time. Without effective planning, it will morph into a priority singularity titled "Finish the Project".
Tesla vehicles, for better or worse, are the majority of EVs in the US currently. Sure, if you want to complain a specific brand of vehicle with limited charging options and a lower range versus competitors can’t make it between towns quickly, that is a story. Is it an honest story? It isn’t. The majority of EVs in the US have access to Tesla’s fast DC charging network. This is cherry picking to shape a narrative to a rural audience.

> But despite the attractive price point, the Leaf never really achieved full liftoff. First released in 2010, Nissan has only sold around 170,000 Leaf EVs in the US over the last decade. Compare that to the total number of Tesla vehicles sold in the US in just 2022 — 564,743 — and you can start to see the headwinds facing Nissan. (The automaker said in 2020 that 500,000 Leafs have been sold globally since the launch in 2010.)

It it’s true that if you buy an EV from a legacy automaker, your charging story is going to be depressing currently. That would’ve been a fine story to run with full context provided, instead of generalizing all EVs as having a poor experience. A little more honesty is all I’m asking for.

Some people really view their coworkers as an opportunity for forced socialization / to make up for their lack of social life.

True story: a new employee moved to sf. In my office, we had a standing weekly drinks night at the local. Everyone was invited (NB: and not required to drink in any way.) I mentioned it to this person. He/she doesn't drink. Cool, do yourself.

And then, dude wanted us to switch to boba. Nope, ain't happening. And actually had a tantrum w/ managers involved over us not wanting to cater to his hangups about alcohol.

I even mentioned it on here and had HN commenters pissy that I -- a grown ass adult -- didn't feel responsible for rearranging my limited outside-of-work social time to suit someone else just because he happened to work with me.

Ask HN: Support group for Engineering Manager Burnout?
Background: Several years ago I joined a company to lead and grow a team (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20532057).

I started by contributing to understand the codebase and establish my technical credibility; and I still contribute to designs and reviews.

While I’m not the subject matter expert—the product knowledge required is large—I’ve grown the team, put-into place best practices as feasible, and aligned the team’s objectives to the firm’s goals.

The rub: I’m highly introverted yet disorganized and so this has taken a toll on me. Measuring performance and pushing out poor performers just adds another layer of difficulty.

Still feeling like the outsider also takes its toll.

Is there any sort of anonymous, safe support group for technical managers?
I work a 4 day work week and am complaining about this BECAUSE I care about the fun and meaning these 32 hours / week have, not because I want to work more or define myself through work achievements.

39 is most definitely not an impossible age for women to have to children. I know several people who did and even a couple of years older. Of course, assuming "normally" healthy adults for everything else ("normally" in quotes because you don't have to be the healthiest, fittest person to have a successful pregnancy). You might want to consult with a fertility Dr. before, to make sure you do all the right things.

Jesus, if sourcing gets consolidated across all of Kroger, it would actually push out smaller producers and if anything goes wrong with the relationship, the producer loses access to Kroger/QFC/Fred-Meyer/Albertsons/Safeway/...

Food is going to get more expensive, lower quality and supplied by less producers.
I'm trying to point out an equally impactful predicament, civilizations don't generally survive sustained population collapses. I don't think that averting a theoretical disaster caused by resource exhaustion is worth creating an almost guaranteed disaster due to forcibly reducing population levels (and it is force whether done through law, propaganda or inequitable incentives).

If "planetary boundaries" are a problem (which I think is not the case since technology can make more use out of less material and energy by increasing efficiency or creating alternate methods of accomplishing the same tasks, but I digress) then we must go beyond them, cowering within them will just give us and our children a slow and painful death.
The problem is ads per se. I’d like to live in a world without them, thanks.

Something absolutely has changed in the last couple of iOS major releases. I have noticed it as well around iOS 14 or so. I also feel like Siri (voice recognition for dictation of messages, etc) has deteriorated as well. It is getting to the point where I am considering moving to Android just based on my experience with that.
The last line of my comment was "OP likely doesn't factor this in and comes to the naive conclusion that it must mean we don't like talking to people".

Your post did say, "others that just abhor having to talk to real-life people". Not me, but others did take that to suggest that many of us were antisocial or incapable of social interaction. I don't take offense because I will easily admit to not being interested in talking to most people. Granted that doesn't mean I don't care about their wellbeing; it just means I don't want to spend my time on conversation which I think offers little to either party for the time and effort.

I didn't comment on whether you want people to come back to the office or not. Some want it desperately, and some (like me) will pass up every job opportunity that has any measurable in-office requirement.

Don't feel alone though -- you are not the only person wanting to come back into the office. About 1/3 of my colleges at my previous gig this year were asking for this. 1/3 of us were thinking, "wtf, hell no, we don't want to come in". And 1/3 were not publicly commenting :). In my experience during the COVID times, it did seem that the people most interested in returning to the office were younger. The older folks were openly joyous of being able to work from home.
It doesn't work that way, these people don't depend on their reputation, they depend on their fame and wealth.
Exactly! Over the last 2 years, I've rekindled my love of making music. I hadn't written any new music in over 20 years, and in the last 2 years, I've written something like 20 songs, and spent time archiving and restoring some older tapes I have. Stuff that would have been lost without the extra time. I now spend about 45-60 minutes every night just making music. It doesn't bother my spouse because they see me far more often since I'm working from home. Once I have to go back into the office, that's 60 minutes of my day spent commuting, and 8-9 hours not seeing my spouse. I'm not sure I'll have any time for music anymore. And having that outlet is helping to keep me sane.
