There were type gymnastics you could do using overloads to reach any arbitrary level of coverage, but it was ugly and always short of fully general.

We shouldn't overlook options, but we can absolutely look, do a cost/benefit analysis, and then discard options that don't make sense.

Technically they can.

But on practice, jobs that treat people badly also tend to pay badly.

> Hey CM30, I feel you are using too much internet.

> It could be that this is what you need. Disconnect.

I can second all of this.

I feel like I'm seeing more people fall into the internet trap, wherein they slowly slide into a chronically offline lifestyle and lose touch with the real world.

Eventually, they surround themselves with more and more chronically online people who are in a similar bubble, making their situation feel common or normal.

As this all slowly consumes their time outside of work, they begin to unintentionally withdraw from real-world friends and activities. The constant strain of processing the worlds' news and social media drama leaves them too exhausted to go anywhere, but while at home the easiest thing they can do is reach for more social media comfort (I include HN in that social media definition, as we're here socializing in the comments).

It is possible to break the cycle, but it takes a bit of a push to get it started. Simply forcing yourself to reach out to old friends or go somewhere to socialize and pick up a new hobby is an easy first step. Or just set a goal to step outside for 30 minutes each day to do anything that isn't related to work or being online.

> Engineering is also not normally scientific investigation

People often confuse scientific investigation with logical reasoning. Software Engineers do the latter more often than the former, but they do perform the former. We literally have environments called "Test" and verifications called "tests". I find it hard to believe there's no relation.

> A hypothesis is not something to be confirmed, it is something to be disproven.

That is incorrect. The definition is available.

Hypothesis: a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation.

> That's an engineering discussion

Yes and those discussions result in "hypotheses".

> Other disciplines have centuries of accumulated knowledge and modeling to fall back on.

While there are few software development papers, there is some progress. Mostly we each rely on our own experiences and the experiences of others (reading a bunch helps).
Note for anyone who might have missed it like I did. Dark Reader makes the underlines not visible. Didn't know what I was doing at all until I disabled it.
If this were the case then couldn't we just make high school diplomas, heck even university degrees, a series of midterm and final tests? Why have lectures at all when people can come in knowing the material online? What if you could start "school" in one week, test nonstop for the next month, and have your degree in CS assuming passing marks at the end?
You can buy an extra storage device and swap them out (either physically or swapping the boot order), as long as your workstation doesn't have soldered in storage.
IMO the jury is probably still out on whether or not this strategic change has been made and cemented into the culture.

At this scale these types of strategic changes play out on a large time horizon (decades) so from an external perspective it is difficult to know.

If Jobs were still CEO I'd expect him to be continually looking for the next breakthrough in consumer technology. Are the leaders at apple currently doing that? I don't know. I have heard that they may be investing into a self driving car play.

Also if Jobs were still CEO I wouldn't be surprised to have seen Apple behave as they have in the past 15 years (slurping up easy revenue like headphones, recurring revenue services) but as a visionary Jobs would concurrently be intensely focused on the future.
> but ironically, don't encrypt my root, so go figure

Oh man that takes me back. The last time I went down that rabbit hole was ~2015, I tried to implement a "fully encrypted" setup and started with Ubuntu (I know I know). Something something LUKS.

I spent ~2 days tinkering with it and never got it to work, something with the setup flow was totally broken if you also tried to encrypt root (or boot? idk like I said it's been _years_).

I also remember fun problems with grub. I was trying to dual-boot and the windows partition was using hardware-bitlocker (samsung SSD). Some kind of weird interaction was going on between grub, whatever the windows bootloader is called, and my motherboard's EFI I think. Anyways grub ended up fucking bitlocker up and I almost lost all my gaming saves. Had to use some kind of arcane recovery process to get back to being able to even _insert_ the key so the SSD would unlock and windows could continue booting.

Ended up saying screw it after a few days and just going back to windows for my gaming PC, vowing to never try dual-boot again.

I'm reminded of the time I was on the InfoSec team at a company you've all heard of where all software development was done on a handful of Unix servers with a shared network file system.

I reached out to the Systems team to suggest they look into mounting the home directories with the no-setuid option, and one of them invited me over to pair at their desk. They explained that there was a trick, where you could leave the existing mount point as is, with its existing mount options, and then mount the same device somewhere else with different options. So they got a root shell, went into some scratch directory, mounted the homedirs there, and we tested things out.

I forget how that went, or what happened next, but it seems that we neglected to clean up after this experiment, and at some point, another Systems engineer was looking around the scratch directory and perhaps ran something like `du -ak` (forgetting to specify the option that disables crossing onto new devices), finding what appeared to be a gigantic copy of everyone's home directories.

So they started `rm -rf`'ing it, and made a pretty huge dent before the phones started ringing and they realized that what they were erasing was not a copy on a local scratch space, but rather the real thing over on the NFS drive.

Fortunately, this company did have great backups.
Depends. In theory it is fine, in practice it is a big ball of mud.

I'm starting to like Apple's approach more. It allows to have multiple OSes installed and each to have different level of trust. In UEFI, the equivalent would be that you could have Secure-core like security for one installed instance, 3rd party UEFI-enabled Secure Boot for another and no Secure Boot for yet another installed OS. Unfortunately, in UEFI it is all-or-nothing instead.
What we're trying to do is respect peoples' time. We can get more about someone's technical understanding in 30 minutes of hands on exercises than we can in a full day of panel interviews. It's better for us as we have a much better understanding of where you're at Linux wise and it's better for you because you only need to come to two hours of interviews, total. Seems like a win win to me.
I remember reading stories written like this when I was a child called Drama In Real Life - in Reader's Digest.

"contributing", when it relates to F/LOSS software, includes non-monetary activities, which you seem to be ignoring. Nevermind the fact that the so-called consumers are the whole reason why Gitea is in the position it is today. Without adoption, it would be a bunch of people making commits on an unknown codebase. Characterizing users as moochers is bad form, amd will not end well for Gitea, IMO.

> I feel like developers have a right to take their project in a paid direction if they want to.

The other side of the libre software coin is that the users have the right to fork the project and take it in a community-driven, non-profit direction if they want to.
You just have to make someone believe you’d be willing to take it to court. In reality, very few civil disputes make it to a court room.

In a case like this, your lawyer would send their lawyer a letter, their lawyer would tell them they’re going to lose, and you’d negotiate a settlement.
> You are not fucking suppose to verify or reference check on me before I even had my interview or offer. So now my boss / management knows I am job hunting?

I've changed jobs 3 times in about ~10 years and this has happened to me both times. I want to leave my current position but the anxiety of dealing with this again is one of the primary reasons why I haven't started looking yet.

For even more fun, take a look at this excellent post on GPS, and in particular, the time problem:

https://ciechanow.ski/gps/#time

> "When it comes to the flow of time on those satellites, there are two important aspects related to Einstein’s theories of relativity. Special relativity states that a fast moving object experiences time dilation – its clocks slow down relative to a stationary observer. The lower the altitude the faster the satellite’s velocity and the bigger the time slowdown due to this effect. On the flip side, general relativity states that clocks run faster in lower gravitational field, so the higher the altitude, the bigger the speedup is."

> "Those effects are not even and depending on altitude one or the other dominates. In the demonstration below you can witness how the altitude of a satellite affects the dilation of time relative to Earth..."

There's also a nice if complex explanation of why your GPS receiever needs four satellite emitters to calculate the time bias of its clock.

Im not sure what part you are confused by. Is it the word ban?

My employer can also ban me from stealing money or tools. If they discover it, they can legally fire me.

You stated that non-competes are illegal. This is incorrect in the context of moonlighting with competitors or concurrent employment (with anyone during working hours). Those types of non-competes are completely legal.

I expect we will see a rise in the number of contracts that explicitly state no other employment during business hours.

> That's assuming you're only drinking tea when you want the heating on though.

Yeah, I meant using in the present tense, sorry (ie. The system is keeping the room above ambient even if it's presently idle due to the thermostat). If you're cooling the space, it's much worse.

> Plus you seemed to have gone on the boilers rather than kettles.

The boiler would be the gas central heating system. The kettle is making the tea.
So? What a horrific first impression.

This is a cool project but I was hoping to see a solar powered machine that turned ore into metal. That is what a smelter is. This is a solar metal melter or what is generally called a furnace, not a smelter. Too bad.
> Please stop using class-warfare terms. It's very 1850 and is unproductive.

Why should I “stop” that? Do you think we’re at the classless level already? Because we’re definitely not, hence why saying things like “class talk is stuff from the past” comes from pure class privilege.

> People will pick the cheapest products and we'll end u

What’s cheaper than basic bread and basic cooking oil? Because the prices for those two have certainly gone up thanks to all the EGS craziness of “let’s not invest in fossil fuels anymore!”. Again, this type of speech and ignoring all these basic aspects comes from class privilege alone.
Doesn't that only work for single user setups, since a `git push` run from some else's machine could concurrently modify that repo.git directory?

Ive recently cut down my social media use, and that includes Reddit/HN, as unfortunately, I always found myself dragged into things I didn't care about.

But now Im missing the new interesting things shared here. New technolgies, new libraries / tools etc

Is there an email list or similar way to keep up with interesting new stuff coming out? Im sure Ive seen links of people running email lists of top HN posts, but I can't find them. (Or at least, can't find any still active).

Is there an easier way to keep up with new tech?

That's because the seminal work rapidly evolved into something that's good-enough, and in some cases, close to optimal.

During the lockdowns I started a hobby, something about garments: think suits, watches, perfumes, shoes, backpacks, hats... I'd rather not say exactly what it is to avoid useless discussions here.

I went into it in a very similar way to other passtimes of mine: reading as much as I could, frequenting forums and online communities, watching videos, buying the basics and even trying to be a maker, not just a consumer to a certain extent.

What I found out: most people in the hobby fall into two categories, sometimes overlapping: shopping addicts and youtubers. Most of the online conversation is utterly ignorant, when not directly brain-damaged. At first I didn't notice because I didn't know better, but as soon as I started to have some knowledge, it was disheartening.

Fellow aficionados spend huge amounts of money in products that they're not going to make use of. YouTube crowd consists of some of the addicts (bragging about what they're senseless hoarding) and some malicious sellers that hide the fact that vendors are paying them. Most of them don't make much.
The heat is conserved. If the waste water is hotter than the incoming water it will conduct on its own (and if they're arranged in back flow the equilibrium will be pretty close). Hurrying it up with a heat pump only makes it happen faster and adds the energy you put into the heat pump. You could cool the waste below ambient, but that's no different to cooling anything else outside.

For simplicity, if your hot water system was already a heat pump, you could run it past/into the cold side. No real efficiency gain vs exchanging it with the cold water (actually a loss in theory) but might be cheaper.
Refinance in California remains non-recourse as of maybe 10 years ago.

Perfectly understandable. If matrix took off a little more, we might see an increase in resources for the official homeserver, or see more peered homeservers becoming popular (as people today get a gmail account and expect to work with users on offic360 without questioning).

Meanwhile you also have the option to get a client with multi-account support. Again, not all clients have this, but this is again something that no other messenger does, or will ever allow purely for market reasons.
The missing detail is that you have to AOT compile the outermost runtime.
This is true, but it's also missing the key part where leading up to 2008 lenders offered mortgages to people they were pretty sure wouldn't be able to keep paying, and then laundered those into the so-called "safe" investment when it was anything but.

Is that part repeating now too?
Sure, it could be one of those possibilities, or maybe other options neither of us have thought of. But still, the point is that the feeling of identity is apparently mistaken. Many people apparently have the strong conviction that the conscious agent they identify as their self is identical to the agent that controls many or all physical actions their body takes (or certainly at least deliberate actions like pressing a button). The point is that conviction appears to be mistaken.
There is a line to be drawn somewhere. If you set your naming level too high, then it's not clear what you're doing in the details. If your naming level is too granular, then you start to lose clarity because you can't see the wood for the trees.

Regarding the problem of a developer new to the codebase being told to change the text size in a specific place; Tailwind works well in this specific situation.

At the beginning of your project, you will have chosen a (or accepted the default) text size scale. The new developer will probably choose the next largest step in the scale and step back. The new size will be in harmony with the rest of the project because it matches the scale. If this specific element is repeated elsewhere in the project, then it will be part of a component and all instances of that component will receive the change.

The right place for a considered name in this example is at the component level.
