Sure, clearly there are people who will never try, or learn, but in general as an industry I feel like the wast majority of errors are very very far from good.

Few error messages are written well, has good formatting and are self contained (can be used to fix the issue without having to seek further information elsewhere). Sometimes you see errors that contain one of those elements, but rarely all of them.

There has been an effort the last few years improving compiler errors for some languages, but those same improvements have not reached applications.
This question seems to get an outrage-filled HN thread every week or so, which is probably why people think it's a gotcha. Latest post I can remember is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33202549
Okay, so what numbers would you believe? Collectively, there are hundreds of billions of dollars in market cap and value generated by remote first tech or very remote friendly companies of various sizes. The argument can't be made these orgs would be more productive if everyone was dragged into the office on feels alone.

Errors on initialization, fatal errors, and non-recurrent errors that require human/support intervention should be documentation.
As someone from Europe I didn't want to become a libertarian until I am an disgruntled 80 year old that throws sticks of disapproval at children. I am far from being 80 but I already see the appeal.

I believe what is sold as culturally liberal is often anything but. It isn't a tolerant culture of letting people live like they want to without to much judgement, but modern "liberals" want to change beliefs and language of others and they try to proselytize like the church in former centuries. They want to form some perfect human being. Even some corporations have picked up this infantile paternalism. Of course this isn't really liberal, but it advertises itself as such. You really have to control yourself to not become reactionary towards their nagging, they seem to like that. They need their images of enemies.

I believe this actually makes the US so attractive for many. They have them too, but still seem to fare better. Of course these kind of liberals will never improve some of the issues with social systems in the US, but well, still better to have a choice.
I was tempted to just walk over and hand him one of my old ones that covered the apt easily... But they moved out and problem solved itself.

An implication is not to ban the sale of gasoline-powered cars by 2035, as California and other states have announced.
Tax might have been a part, but very far from all of the difference. The dollar=euro was there decades before the introduction of the mandatory 2 year minimal guarantee.
I took up tennis because of my kids. I rollerskate because (I fucking love it, inexplicably) it's the only "sport" my niece enjoys and none of the other adults will do it (helps that I fucking love it).

There was an interesting quote by Frank Zappa, along the lines of: treat your kids like adults, not property.

Here we are:

“The first thing you have to do if you want to raise nice kids, is you have to talk to them like they are people instead of talking to them like they’re property.”

Explain your reasons to them, even when you think the concepts are above them, and they will understand the effort, attention, and the body language if not the exact meaning of the words.

If they can understand the world you live in, the more likely they are to be compatible with it as they grow up.
I found this [1] in a search engine. Or do you mean that someone is blocking you from purchasing a solar farm and converting the land into commercial property? i.e. zoning restrictions?

What is your end goal? Is your plan to sell power back to the grid? If so what research are you planning to do?

My burnout experience was a little different, I was younger and it was like 50 to 60 hour weeks that burned me out combined with a really bad startup experience.

I took a few months off (in SF, that burned through my savings) and had a nice long think about my relationship to my job/career. Ended up moving out of the Bay Area because I wanted hobbies and to be able to meet people who weren’t in tech.

IMO boundaries are really important. I work a max of 40 hours a week as a rule (always been salaried) and force myself to leave my work desk at 5PM (even if I’m having fun working on something and want to continue). I only work after hours if there’s a page or something similarly urgent.

I’d also recommend a hobby or a sport (programming is ok just make sure it’s not work related stuff)

So far it’s working, but I guess I could always become a float plane pilot in Alaska, or do something with bikes if I got tired of software.
I remember there being a huge controversy over a similar app! The founder tried to force itself into a bunch of cities and proceeded to get into a direct conflict with a mayor of Boston!

Yeah, we should just do nothing instead.
imo this is seeing this a bit too black and white. Like, ops is _paid_ to get things back on track ASAP. Whereas devs are generally given more time and have the space to think about the elegant solution. And, sometimes one-off issues are just that - one and done problems that probably won't ever arise again. In that case, especially on a lean team, is it really worth the time to elegantly solve an edge case? Especially when 6 other things are on fire? Just my two cents.
The question you were answering:

> how we would establish a source of truth

Your reply:

> limit the reach of people with a history of making wildly unsubstantiated claims.

That's circular; to determine whether a claim is unsubstantiated, you need a source of truth.
I hear brave fixed it
Lxc was in many ways the community originated docker alternative. Sure, you could nitpick about system vs application containers, but ultimately I believe that it was exactly that VC funding that allowed Docker to make the impact it did.
I have the same question, I am have a git based static generated blog, I am looking for something like

1. A git based tool to scrobble the music I am listening to, like Last.FM.

2. A status logger, I really, really miss the old MSN or GTalk days when there's a status line to show what my friends are doing or their mood. In fact most people have forgotten that's the original case for twitter.

3. A git based comment system to replace Disqus, I can merge for incoming comments or reject spam.

4. life streaming to log the movie I've watched or books I've read.
"Hmmm... your last link seems to say that studiositas and curiositas are pretty far from modern English's "studious and curious."

If you want to get into classical philosophy you're going to run into that left, right, front, and center. Many words and concepts they take for granted either correspond to old English words (and I mean old as in time, not as in formaly Old English, though they may be that too), or simply no longer exist in English. Thus, reading translations of them may be quite challenging.

Personally I don't think it's because those concepts are necessarily inapplicable or that we're so much better, nor do I necessarily think we're so much worse either. If anything I see it as a very valuable way to get a very different perspective on philosophical issues. However, it will take substantial effort put in to understand what they're really saying; to use very modern terminology, the representational bias of modern English is almost incapable of expressing what they are actually saying. While I won't blindly endorse everything they say, I will say it is also not as stupid as it may sound at first when read in modern English, nor vacuous, nor any other quick dismissal than may come to mind.
There’s already layoffs and downsizing announced weekly. Even pausing growth will have an effect.
Sometimes when I write notes, just the action of writing them helps burn it into my memory a little. You are not alone, I have a friend who complains about this very problem 55 years after leaving college. Einstein would say that he didn't bother memorizing something if he knew where to look up the information (paraphrased).
Crazy that it turned into a disaster. Ours went so well that we wanted more of it even after the in-person event. We only had one person on Zoom though. I don't know your situation at all, but it sounds like people felt the need for multiple conversations that may have been pent up like a dam til that meeting.
An easier solution might be to dry them out and add the resulting protein powder to animal feed. Jellyfish probably don’t need a lot of special, energy-intensive processing to make them palatable to pigs, and pigs don’t need a lot of special, energy-intensive processing to make them palatable to us.
My girlfriend and I had a baby daughter (our first) last year. When she was born, I was 41 and she was 39 (conceived when I was about to turn 41 and she was 38).

I thought we were late and it’d be hard at our age, but she got pregnant not even after a month after starting trying.

So yes you’re not too late.
Yes, it's a lot worse to depend on revenue from your supposed competitor.

It may even hinder your motivation to build a browser that focuses on the user, and more to appease the person paying the bills (Google).

In comparison to a change that was in the browser for a day or so 2 years ago, yeah that's an asinine comparison alright.
So quick search in the comments and nothing about XR/VR/MR/AR or 3D Spatial Computing which is going to rebuild the search process from the ground up using a nearly infinate canvas of depth and width realestate that decompresses limitations imposed by flat screens and force the kind of ergonomic backflips to optimize information choice and density per square inch as linked out here. This is beautiful well thought out service but I can't help but think it would look better in a 3D environment in the near future.
If you're a software engineer that has been working for 7+ years and don't have enough savings to survive 6 months off work or are so behind on retirement savings that this would seriously impact your future I think you should work seriously on getting your finances in order.
No, it is not a better word. Please explain exactly what is fraudulent about Brave's business model. Who is getting duped? The advertisers, the users who receive their rewards in crypto?
It may not be your intention, but it is a gotcha, by virtue of the surrounding context.

The implication is that any person would be too biased to be able to do the job, but the reality is more interesting than that.

And, of course, you aren't getting an answer to your question, because a random HN commenter doesn't know exactly who. In fact, the article itself doesn't know either, because it's making a recommendation of what should be done, not a declaration of what they are doing.

But when it comes down to it, the "who" isn't nearly as important as it sounds. Most of the human pitfalls we are concerned about when we ask "who" are adequately answered with "how". In the end, it's the implementation that really matters.

Disinformation on public forums is not a new pattern. Traditional forums (including HN) manage it with moderation. In this case, we have an answer to "who": the moderators. And "how" gets clearly outlined in the rules of the forum.

But social media - like Facebook and Twitter - doesn't have moderators. Recently, there has been effort to do moderation with algorithms, but that tends to fail in a lot of edge cases.

There have also been grass-roots efforts to fight disinformation, but in this case we can clearly see the "how" failing to protect us from the "who". There will always be groups that use the same patterns to promote disinformation, because the goals of a grass-roots information campaign don't react to criticism.

Yeah, this is part of the problem most WFH folks have with most WFO folks. We fucking hate this.
I think that is just a natural, "start with a specific example as a hook" that actually works really well in education and general propaganda.
I had my child at 41 (I'm the mother), and I see none of these issues, and my son has been over 10kg for quite some months now. My early-30s colleague on the other hand complained of back pain already in her pregnancy.

Age is not the death sentence you seem to think it is; on the contrary, if someone in early 40s doesn't have the energy/fitness to handle a child, they should see a doctor.

(I also got pregnant within a couple of months of trying, as did a neighbour of similar age. Personal biology trumps statistics.)
Think that it might be bad for yourself, but good for your kids because you didn't force them to enter this fucked up world for your own benefit. Speaking as someone who hates being born, and there are countless like me, and you can't know in advance.
My wife was 40 when we had our first and 43 when we had our second. Both healthy and bright. No windows have closed, but if you really feel like you can't then you should consider adopting.
I think Delicious Library was for a while at least. I remember the author of it, doing a presentation about using git as storage:

> "out of filter bubbles" == "into other filter bubbles". This isn't empowerment, it's hijacking.

It's hardly hijacking when they placed you in those bubbles in the first place. I'm quite happy to break algorithmic filter bubbles given the rise in both extremism and lunatic conspiracy theories we've seen in recent years.

> Should you trust any one website? No. But which websites you frequent is your choice, and it's one of the few dimensions of freedom remaining to the internet. The only job of the browser is to facilitate this freedom, and any divergence from that goal will only diminish what free choice remains.

It's a fantastic thing that Mozilla isn't suggesting that any of these changes be made to your browser then isn't it.
Dataform comes to mind (if you set it up to use git like that)
My perception is that the die hard WFH people have the most to PERSONALLY benefit from WFH, whereas the WFO people are either more focused on the collective outcomes for the company or have a low personal cost to WFO (I.e. have a short commute popping into the office is easy)
Was in a similar situation re: biological age, just some anec-data for you:

1) You and your spouse most likely can still have children assuming you two are in reasonable health with no serious fertility issues; age is less of an issue with today's medical tech. My spouse and I had our first child at a simlar age to you two.

2) Sounds like you have burnout/depression/something-else. Consider getting help from a professional (therapist)?

3) For me, parenthood is cool, tiring, and rewarding, but definitely not an endpoint of personal fulfillment. With all the socio-cultural changes of our times, our sense of self, identity, and value should enrich our families, and not be predicated upon society's value towards being a giving/sacrificing parent unit.
I once brought down a major financial services application (in production, because of course) by adding _logging_ to a certain tight loop. The assignment was to log every iteration of that loop. Worst job of my life.
But intolerance is the only reasonable response to some kinds of behaviour.

It’s pretty nice. I wish I could disable the new tab default though.
No, I just grew up in a formerly communist country, and when you ask me for an example, the nation-sized experiment I brought up is the first thing that comes to my mind. You never specified you want to ask about US in particular, and I don’t know why you reject a clear and convincing example from outside US. In fact, I find your imagined version of me, with the Ayn Rand books and all, rather insulting.

In any case, there are plenty of examples in the US as well. Private education can successfully compete with public education, despite great structural disadvantages (private schools literally have to compete with free product). Using EBT at Walmart works better than government cheese. Section 8 housing works better than the projects. VA hospitals are not exactly preferred to regular ones by the public.

In general, in the US, the government doesn’t directly run too many things other than the regulatory agencies. Most of what it does is already outsourced. The US government doesn’t build infrastructure, doesn’t design or build military hardware etc., and most people (not just the straw man Ayn Rand fans in your head) would recoil in horror at the idea of government directly hiring people, buying materials, and managing operations.
My own experience is: having 2 or more kids under 5 is just too much work for two parents. You simply need more adults helping, period. You can either send 'em to daycare, get relatives to pitch in, or hire a nanny / babysitter / au pair.

Don't feel weird or guilty when you do this -- throughout history, children have never been raised solely by their parents.
I feel like this is a problem of overly chatty application logs + lack of formatting for errors.

If the volume of drivel was lowered and errors were formatted with spacing and color to stand out, then they would be easier to focus on.

So log errors to stderr, send it to a separate log file, and format it well (use multiple lines).
Here's my response to another comment about this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33262620
I would believe any numbers that were objectively presented with sound methodology. Using a single call center study as evidence that worker productivity increases just doesn't make sense. Most work isn't anything like working in a call center.

Here is another misleading claim from that link:

> Working Remotely Can Increase Productivity up to 77%

But they then clarify that "77% of those who work remotely at least a few times per month show increased productivity." Productivity increasing by 77% is not the same as 77% of people experiencing any productivity gain. Also, they link to a source for this claim, but the link takes you to a blog spam page titled "43 Productivity Tools That Will Make Your Life Much Easier." There is no mention of the claim on this page.
My daughter used to climb on my back when I did push ups for some additional resistance. She used to give me a light slap if I was taking too long between reps.

Good times.
> Knowledge of a specific set of experiments that were part of developing a specific vaccine does not equate to knowledge of the basics of virology.

In this case, it does, because those are some of the most famous experiments in the history of virology. Everyone who learns the basics of virology knows about those experiments. As I said, this is the equivalent of saying one knows the fundamentals of computer science, but not knowing about the Turing Machine. Or imagine someone expressing very strong opinions about programming, but then saying they've never heard of C.

I raise this because I'm always shocked in these discussions on HN by how many people who don't seem to know the basics of virology weigh in with such strong opinions. Virology has come under significant attack, and most of it has been very poorly informed.

About the experiments themselves, they do not look similar to the experiments that have historically been considered GOF, and which sparked the GOF debate (look up the debate from the 2010s over research into the 1918 pandemic flu strain, if you want to know what the original debate was about). Taking a spike protein from a variant and putting it onto wild-type SARS-CoV-2 is a fairly straightforward way to try to isolate the effect of the changes in the spike protein from other changes in the virus. The Omicron spike is already out there. Omicron is already out there. This isn't adding anything to SARS-CoV-2 that isn't already massively spreading in the real world, and there's no particular reason to think that this experiment will create a more deadly or transmissible virus.
37signals pays SV rates for global staff on principle. They publish their salary information, based on job family and job level.
I was specifically referencing YOUR language. You can't on the one hand proclaim death of a protocol and in the next sentence limit it to a specific use case.

> The death of SMS is hardly specific to central Europe and the US.

I hate to be a grammar Nazi, but since you're specifically attacking my wording I have to correct you. This statement would only be correct if it was: "The death of SMS for person-to-person communication is hardly specific to central Europe and the US."

So yes, your statement is incorrect. It's not dead, far from. It might get there eventually, but definitely not yet.
Not entirely surprising with so many couples suddenly at home all day, with any children at school.

Ok I will definitely add an option to turn off Instagram and Twitter. Is there anything besides those? Not sure I want to add an option to turn off anything, trying to limit the complexity and number of options.

Pinning... could you give me some examples of columns you would always want pinned to the front vs dynamic based on relevancy? Or some example queries? That would be super helpful. I like the pinning idea though! Just need some help thinking about this.

So on scoped google columns, that is basically how it is being done right now:

Usually google search with site: is better than the site search itself. But usually I customize it a bit if it is helpful. Stackoverflow is already there, and reddit. Is there any other specific ones you would like? I can code it really quickly.
