Asianometry also has a video "Why the Soviet Computer Failed" [0].

If the Soviet Union had excellent higher education, why was/is Communism and then corruption/organized crime an issue? At what point do phds, engineers, etc take responsibility for the society in which they live? When do the smart people say "we have met the enemy and he is us?" [1]

From the video description:

In 1986, the Soviet Union had slightly more than 10,000 computers. The Americans had 1.3 million.

At the time of Stalin's death, the Soviet Union was the world's third most proficient computing power. But by the 1960s, the US-Soviet computing gap was already years long. Twenty years later, the gap was undeniable and basically permanent.

Why did this happen? The Soviet state believed in science and industrial modernization. Support for research & development and the hard sciences were plentiful. They had the country’s finest minds.

Goodness gracious, they launched Sputnik! They landed on Venus! How did it come to this?
Corporations and the investment class took all the money out of the economy, and now they're about to lose it as their balance sheets dry up. It is the people who will suffer the most.

It worked out okay when we had extreme levels of corporate control relative to government aka the 1950s. Privatization has made everything worse. Conservatives are tied chained to the idea that corporations provide a ladder for people but they just straight up don't, its not profitable and they can spend money on stock buybacks instead.

Our economic culture is completely sick, nobody is paying attention to almost any of the real problems. A literal depression seems like the only thing that will ever make change happen at the moment.

Copying ideas is only a threat if you think the copying party is:

1) better at executing than you

and

2) understands the market better than you

It is generally accepted wisdom that if someone copies you, you are doing something right and should focus on fundamentals and shipping/customers.

The epitome of uselessness: making an error message so "user-friendly" that it doesn't help anyone.

At least a "Details" button to unmask the technical details would be useful in some way, while hiding the "ugliness" to the end-user.
Where do you stop in the ownership chain? I brand-name that is just a department of a registered company? A fully owned subsidiary? What about majority stakes in public companies?

It depends on the CEO. I think SpaceX reflects more on the culture of the COO than the CEO; the company does not operate like the CEO does.

The absolute best I had in a Microsoft product was this (paraphrasing): "An error happened because your computer may be turned off". I still have a screenshot of that somewhere. What it meant was that an hypothetical computer I may be trying to connect to (which I wasn't, it was all local) was off, but that wasn't the case. This was seriously WTF.

The second most beautiful one from another Microsoft product was whatever software generating a password and asking me, in a pop-up window, to write it down. The problem was the password was something like:

9mZOvy9E(4)?6b(w(<$KcTU%>9T6cz0Z4YxgQ-<tw035X6S.dLE0[2n0"42`/S=S1{q5{)61s190':&6UHT.4hZXjO6b%l#X7v]~4tIT2Y0._ebFH,>2:G>%*P]7n4"

I probably also still have a screenshot of that somewhere.

Haven't used Microsoft stuff in two decades so it was a long time ago. But it's still seriously WTF.
I know. My wife and her entire family love to cook. They also love a leisurely sprawl through a grocery or specialty food store, just to see what's new, what's gone, or maybe find inspiration (I'm usually discouraged from joining because of my "get-in, get-out" mentality).

I hope you have the great, good fortune to have someone in your life that complements you in this regard :-)
You should think about retirement, but maybe that will never come. You can hit by a bus any day. You could be sick from the stress and won't able to enjoy the money you saved. You have to live a little right now.

You shouldn't have gap in your resume. I took more than one year off to travel around New Zealand. I put this in my resume and I think it made it more interesting. After that I migrated from Hungary to the UK during COVID and didn't had any problem finding a job.
Except neither of those would help in this case. They’re already using their own domain name, and it’s unclear how they would even build their own CDN since they’re using that scale of bandwidth - AdGuard said they’re still pushing 100tb of access denied pages a month for their similar case. That is a LOT of bandwidth just for access denied messages.
The point you seem to be missing is that even with all that, Soviets both had their own ideas, their own implementation of ideas and got ahead of the West in some of the areas. Yes, I'd agree that harsh societal environment greatly diminished the possible outcome - and also that lots of spying was being done by Soviets (to say nothing about the West).

> to the front, the GULAG, or to a wall

Right, but still, after Stalin's death, USSR had a renaissance of sorts - art, science, tech, quality of life improvements across the board. Still not enough to win the Cold War - was likely impossible - but enough to maintain for some time the lead in some areas and be not terribly outpaced in most others. Unfortunately, effects (and conditions) of Khrushchev Thaw could hardly be repeated, and until Gorbachev the country leadership wasn't allowing enough of progress.

One of the points of the article, I believe, is to remind that USSR had their own achievements.
You may have had the pleasure of working at places where developers are very self-directing and don't need constant hand holding. As an engineer (developer) of more than a decade that has since transitioned to product, my experience is that developers (again, just in my experiences) at places I've worked are entirely are completely incapable of knowing what to build. They don't ask the right questions and they don't understand the business needs well enough to know the right solutions. They get stuck at the smallest hurdles and I have to guide them over each and every one of them, even when it's 98% a technical problem (which legacy database should this application be populating? I don't know, let's ask the PM instead of consulting technical documentation or running our own profiling to determine this). They don't want to make decisions around anything at all.

Managing questions and making decisions for a team of 6 is easily a full time job for me combined with client management and meetings. I work a lot of extra hours to do actual PM work on top of that. I realize this is also largely my organization's fault for not having a dedicated project manager, but that's still not really helping me see your argument about needing fewer non-coders.

Regardless of the technology, there is no way to put an 1518 byte Ethernet frame in a 1500 byte IP packet. You're going to have to fragment or live with reduced MTU inside the tunnel.
Cloud storage is nice. I pay Apple money every month for a chunk of it. But it's no substitute for device storage. I don't always have connectivity when I want it. Yeah, I can leave my photos out there, and a lot of my less-used music. But documents, books, the music I listen to all the time...that's all on the device. The cloud is a place to put stuff, but only one of several, and not the main one.
It was sufficient to say you've got no idea about the Soviet space program (which benefited the most from Nazi tech), no need for long posts.

Soviet rocketry was demonstratively, intentionally, in-your-face domestic, those low ranked Peenemunde engineers were sent home as soon as they helped to build R-1 which was a verbatim copy of V-2 indeed (US got much more from Nazis, namely the best engineers and actual V-2s and equipment and tech). For example practicaly everything in R-7, maybe except for the vague idea of the hydrogen peroxide gas generator to drive the turbopump, was novel at the time. In particular the control system, telemetry, aerodynamic modeling, material science, and both types of the hot separation mechanism. That was entirely intentional.

What they got from Nazis more or less verbatim, was namely radars (later improved on and perfected) and electronic measurement equipment tech. Not nuclear weapons (part of the tech was later stolen by Fuchs and other commie sympathizers from US, but was used to control the scientists results, not directly as a base, so it didn't speed anything up). And especially not nuclear power tech.
> each error message needs to be unique

Include random numbers. "Error 7743929" is super easy to track down (grep -r 7743929 takes 2 seconds to type), you don't need a NATO alphabet to understand what they're saying on the phone in order to be able to search it correctly, its general purpose is understood internationally, and it won't change between versions (like when you'd encode a file name and line number, for example). When I first figured this out at, idk, 17 years old and mentioned the idea in a game making forum, people called me crazy, but I still use it and don't know of any better system.

Of course, this is alongside an actual error message to help the user help themselves. This is just to trace the line where it originated, which already helps a lot for small software projects like I make.
Actually the concepts are perfectly explained by plenty of people who, you know, actually know. Read the other links in this thread. But please downvote me some more. It's obvious you're not arguing reasonably because you're clearly leaving out the fact that the terms in all these relevant equations are associated with physical components that we talk about WITH WORDS

Like mass
and charge
and energy
and probability

If you know the math you can share it here and say what the terms mean

If you dont know the math then your comment contains the lie that you know what you're talking about and that people should listen to you
No, the Fortune article correctly reports that people may be forced to choose. But there is no provision to strip people of citizenship in the new rules as the article you submitted implies.
I think the idea of the quality of text written being related to the screen size of the device on which it was input is an old person anachronism.

This would be like saying novel quality written in a word processor would be inferior to typing on a typewriter, or handwritten.

I write and edit almost all my HN comments on a phone, and I think they’re identical in quality and tone to what I’d write on a computer.
Wouldn't this apply to email with POP and SMTP? And yet, users have clearly distinguished between good (Gmail, Hey) and bad (AOL, Yahoo) clients.

It doesn’t seem likely that parking is even half of street surface let alone street plus sidewalk.

That would require more parking width than travel lane width on any given segment with parking (to account for areas where parking is not permitted plus intersections). Few streets have less travel width than parking. Many have a multiple.

This debate boils down to personality, life stage, or life choice differences. High in trait extroversion, or living in a crowded roommate situation, or unattached and living close to the office and you’re more likely to want a return to the office. Lower in extroversion/an introvert, or have a nice house in the burbs with a long commute, or have kids etc and you’re more likely to opt to WFH. Every other argument is more or less a rationalization of one of those fundamental and intractable differences which is why this “debate” goes around and around without resolution.
Yes. At most silicon valley tech companies PM = Product Manager.

perhaps OP should contact like-minded individuals in this very thread and start a company together! or maybe create a developer job site for companies that do not offer WFH options!

> But just imagine Merkel would say (in 2010) Goebbels is now a "Hero of Germany for "defending national ideas and battling for an independent German state

Germany is a poor example for your point. Both the German government and the German federal army still honour Col. Stauffenberg as a "role model" (Here is an article from a 2019 ceremony commemorating the attempted 20 July coup where they clearly state this: https://www.dbwv.de/aktuelle-themen/blickpunkt/beitrag/regie... - it's in German, but you can use google translate). Note that Stauffenberg - despite his attempted coup - never repudiated fascism, antisemitism, or German militarism. Same goes for other well-known European politicians e.g. "father of the Austrian Republic" Karl Renner, an anti-semite who opposed the return of Jews even after the reestablishment of independent Austria post-WWII. In general, many interwar European "national role models" were unreconstructed racists who held abhorrent beliefs.

> It's not irrelevant if a massive amount of your population thinks your better then others and being a nazi is a good thing, and peoples from Donetsk are subhumans. Then they forbid to teach russian in schools, and russian speaking -> Ukrainian channel's had to switch language, same with newsletter's (i think that was 2019), really that's not nationalist bullshit??

The law in question sets quotas for the use of Ukrainian in official media outlets & education, and mandates the use of Ukrainian as a national language. The UN produced a report on the law [1], and notes that "Many of the controversial points were subsequently addressed in the
final version". The law does not ban Russian (or any other minority language) in any way.

Many democratic states in the EU incl. France, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania have language policies which are arguably harsher & much more restrictive than anything implemented in Ukraine. In particular, France is especially aggressive in enforcing the use of French in public & commercial settings and actively issues fines to companies that do not abide by the language law.

"Turns out that if the business model of the publication is selling ads, they're interested in reach."

The "tech" company "business model" is selling ads. 100%. The "tech" company produces zero content. To use a popular "tech" company example, according to Zuckerberg, Facebook is a "platform" not a publisher. Here, "platform" means intermediary.

Looking to "tech" companies as a "source" of high quality content is therefore a failing endeavour. To the extent publishers use a "tech" company as an intermediary for "reach", as anyone can see, the quality of the content is not going to be high.

Eliminating the intermediary and returning to real business models that are not 100% advertising-based ("tech" is out) is one way to return to a world with more high quality content. "Tech" companies have no way to make money besides operating as intermediaries and selling advertising services, so they will continue to facilitate clickbait "content" for their own benefit.
Thanks for this gem of a link. I had a good chuckle all around but found this part particularly very funny:

Apache Kafka was named after Franz Kafka, who lived as an author in turn-of-the-20th-century Austria. Like the project named after him, he was slow to start, inconsistent in delivery, and left a mess of unpublished work after a tragically early death.

I have been setting up a low cost home IP camera solution recently as well. I have also found like others mention, although some of the hardware is OK, on the software side all IP cameras that I have looked at are garbage. hacky linux firmware, needing apps and cloud accounts to config, etc.
I also found zoneminder and shinobi not that great either, I've ended up with a "simpler" setup using the basic "motion" Linux motion detect program, and using Jellyfin to view the video files created.

So far the "least worst" of the low cost IP cameras I have tried have been TPLINK TAPO.. once they are configured for onvif and IP set by tying to mac address, they can be blocked from the internet access at the firewall and work fine standalone.
The only non-TPLINK app I have found that can work with the PTZ mode of the TAPO C210 is the proprietry ONVIER android app.
I'm going to add... since I stopped going into the office, I stopped getting the flu.

I have a crappy immune system, and some auto-immune disorder stuff. I would get the flu for about a week, three to five times, every year. Given I'm in the U.S., that also means I would usually need to get furloughed for any kind of Christmas holiday.

Now... I get to not be sick (inevitably from a co-worker coming in sick, saying 'I'm fine, I can push through', then coughing all over the open floor plan) and I get my vacation time for vacations.
I think you may have some hindsight bias here. I do not think that when chemical and atomic structures were discovered/understood that knowledge was immediately put to use. Nuclear physics dates back to the late 1800s, it wasn't until the 1940's where that knowledge was put to practical use. I wouldn't expect anything different with QCD. In fact, I would expect it to take significantly longer to develop practical applications of the theory given how much more complex it is.
At SciFi conventions I had a friend who was good at lock picking, and he picked the lock of the elevator control room at the top of the hotel.

The elevators were controlled by cabinets of relays, and there was a schematic of the elevator controller, which was pretty straightforward to follow and not too complicated. You could trigger the elevator into going to different floors by toggling the relay corresponding to the call button with a pencil.

On one of the cabinets full of relays that controlled the elevators was taped a piece of paper with the phone numbers of all the emergency phones in every elevator. It was like discovering the holy grail!

Since the elevators at SciFi cons were a bottleneck and always crowded, it took a long time to wait for one and get to the lobby or the floor of the party you wanted to attend.

So whenever I was in a hotel room and wanted to go somewhere else, I would call up an elevator: "Ring!" Somebody would answer and I'd say "Hello!". They'd invariably say "Hey, WTF, this is an elevator!" I'd say "What floor are you on?" They'd tell me something like "12.", and I'd ask "Are you going up or down?" If they were going the right direction, then I'd then ask them "Please press 27, I'll be waiting for you!"

And sometimes I'd prank call the elevators: "Ring!" "Hello, this is Dominos Pizza!" "Hey, WTF, this is an elevator!" "What floor are you on?" "12." "Please press Ground, I'm in the lobby with your pizza. I'll be waiting for you!"

If you are deploying to Django, you've likely converged to a specific set of Python dependencies that have been pretty static for close to a decade.
