The interesting bit about this post is that with that resume, you can still feed a family in 2022 (okay, you won't need any assembler, and one from the set { Fortran, COBOL } will do).

I wonder if Python and JavaScript will get you that far 50 years from now?
Video game controllers. Even in the world of steam and unity, controller behavior and configuration is a huge crapshoot and often just doesn't work.

Why would it have to go in the dumpster if it still works well? This reasoning is why we have exessive e-waste, not the lack of upgrades...

> It's because a lot of attraction is based on things that photos and profiles can't convey.

Especially for men. The worst thing is the imbalance. Compatibility in a long-term relationship is certainly based on factors other than looks for both sexes but, like it or not, all relationships start with basic attraction. Women's basic attraction comes from their looks in the vast majority of cases. But for most men, it has to come from somewhere else. Usually status, power, ability, humour etc. So it works absolutely fine for women, but is a complete non-starter for the average man.

I'm not surprised speed-dating is more efficient. My experience with online dating is that even if I find a woman physically attractive I might not find her attractive in real life. We might simply not hit it off, or there can even be other factors like smell that are off-putting. Speed dating eliminates those immediately as well as allowing people to show off non-physical attractive qualities. I still don't think it's optimal for men, though. The best way is to get good at something and show it off in public. Like playing in a band, public speaking, leading and commanding respect of other men etc. That can make otherwise physically repulsive men attractive. There are countless examples.
> New Java versions are cut every six months since 2017 and since then has added a significant amount of new features

And yet, the overwhelming majority of the Java community are still using JRE8 with none of these new features.

There are some that love this new pace of language development, but very few are actually using new features in production code.
AirDrop? Always works flawlessly in my experience.
Connecting a laptop to a videobeam. It is still plug & pray.
Nice anecdata, very scientific, but also yea someone's who at-risk should decide whether they want it or not.
Bluetooth. I’m fairly vested in the Apple ecosystem with a MacBook Pro, iPhone, iPad, and a few AirPods, and never have I seen a feature that creates so much instability across such a wide range of gadgets. I have gotten kernel panics on my MacBook, hard crashes (straight to the Apple logo) on my iPhone and iPad, and had several AirPods refusing to switch devices without a hard reset, all from the Bluetooth dameon. And, don’t get me started on default audio inputs with Zoom calls and whatnot. Rolling dice seems to have better odds than getting the right input to connect from the start.

You're missing the point. Of course we have "the technology" for them, but most companies/people decided it was a good idea to have progress bars lie.

Graham didn't say that liberal-arts academia is a conspiracy. He said that the part of the humanities that makes heavy use of words like transgression/narrative/postmodern/gender constitutes "the more bogus end of the humanities".

I won't 100% support that, since I don't have a deep understanding of these areas. But I think it's in a valid range of opinion, given things like the Sokal affair [1]. All sorts of people are reasonably suspicious of the hard-to-understand output of the "Theory" and "Studies" fields, not just "STEM-lords".

The suspicion isn't restricted to the humanities either. We all know that business schools and social science departments are having their own problems right now with trendy findings that don't hold up. There's legitimate controversy over whether work in string theory represents meaningful scientific progress. Etc.

Some areas of academia have more problems with bogosity than others. It seems hard to dispute.

This is my personal opinion. No offense to any developer or project, but:

The linux touchpad experience... After shifting around responsibilities for a decade between libinput, compositor, desktop environment, applications and back, not many people seem to really see the importance of the touchpad as input device. Especially precisition, interial/kinetic scrolling + rubberbanding and palm detection do not feel optimal.

After digging around with libinput and libinput-config on fedora 36, I have achieved at least an acceptable level of touchpad usability and I'm looking forward to 2023 :-)
Have you tried your phone?

It might sound like a joke, but AirPrint on my iPhone has been the most reliable way to connect to my printer by far.
Ask HN: Is there a site to find good code examples?
Frequently I would like to find an example of a project using a framework/language/package well. Sometimes live examples are more helpful than reading the docs because a good example has all of the context and imports that docs frequently ignore. Stack overflow similarly does not include enough context to make larger decisions.

Some queries this site might answer:

- “find a react project that uses jest to test responsive layouts”

- “find a Ruby on Rails project that uses transactions in a query on an SQLite DB”

Does a site like this exist? If not, what features would you want from it were I to build it?

Are you sure it's due to risk assessment for climate change and not the huge amount of fraud and litigation? I've heard that something like 80% of all homeowners insurance lawsuits have been from Florida despite only having 9% of claims. When I looked into the issue that was the driving cause I found, it would be good to read some info about the climate change assessment making it into their decision to pull out.

This is going to require some education about the history of money of which I'm not an expert, but here goes.

The process of any "thing" organically becoming money looks like the following:
1) Collectable
2) Store of value
3) Medium of exchange
4) Unit of account

Gold followed this path over 8000 years as it emerged as the strongest money through international trade. Societies in many places used different kinds of money at different points in times: feathers, gems, giant immovable boulders, etc. But those monies were always displaced by technology, when they could be collected or mined faster or more efficiently, resulting in debasement. Gold was the best store of value because it could not be rapidly debased; its scarcity allows it to only inflate by a few percent a year, and it maintains a pretty constant stock-to-flow ratio.

And so being common enough to be popular, but rare enough to be difficult to obtain, gold became the world's "money". Ironically central banks still hoard gold, with the US having the largest storehold in the world. However the US and world powers would terminate the gold standard, unpegging dollars to redeemable gold, allowing for government control over the creation, distribution, and management of money. Historically, ancient fiats have failed, and I suspect with a long enough time horizon, 100% of all fiat currencies will fail. But we now run an experiment in which the ability to grow unlimited debt is a "feature", where central banks determine the cost of money for society, where the creation of new money or its policies is easy, and decided by a few.

Bitcoin is a decentralized, censorship resistant, permissionless network. It acts a ledger, a way of keeping track of nominal value in a way where anyone can participate (send/receive, create addresses) from anywhere in the world. It is open source programmable money. Compared to gold, it is magnitudes cheaper to transmit, store, and secure. The protocols are defined and transparent which makes its creation rate predictable. The supply is finite, and so it cannot be easily debased, making it a powerful store of value.
My guess is it's frowned upon because there's a difference in choosing to take a nap, and needing to take a nap.

The latter is associated with aging and physical decline.

It’s more than that if you have ADHD or are on the spectrum. Repetitive activities help upregulate the brain in ways that allow for these sorts of random connections between seemingly disparate data to happen more reliably. Some people think better when fidgeting, walking, brushing teeth, washing their hair, walking through doorways.

I went through a particularly dangerous phase in college where ideas would come to me while I was crossing the street. I used to joke that if I wasn’t careful my best idea would end up getting me run over by a bus.
Or just stick with the tried and tested way of convincing average guys you can make them more attractive without actually making them more attractive.
Wifi hotspot works fine for me.

What doesn't work is just sharing stuff between different people and devices. I want to send a web page to my son on his desktop. I want to play a video on the TV. I want to play some music on the main speakers. I want to collaborate on annotating an image with my wife. The whole family wants access to the e-book collection, movies, music, etc.

All these things are possible now to an extent, but each and every one is some degree of difficult to set up, and it's own little thing. And not even mentioning the fractured wasteland that is messaging.

All of this should be baked into the very fabric of computing by now IMHO, a seamless landscape of shared data.
Yes they have a large and considerably upgraded military, but border skirmishes and planting flags on unpopulated rocks are hardly comparable to Russia’s recent post-Cold War military experience. The point is how the PLA would fare in an actual war is far from known yet.

As far as the Soviet military went, the fallout of that buildup, and the actual condition of the Red Army, are known after the fact now.

It sure does, but they said "regardless of operating system." Outside of the apple-verse it still sucks.

Latency.

Back in the day, you flicked your computer's on switch, and it turned on. (And then it took ten minutes or so to load software from the tape drive – much faster from floppy, but still far from instant.) Now, our processors and storage devices are millions of times faster, and computers can take minutes just to start. Software needs to load itself into memory, then initialise the initialisation routines, then actually initialise, then you have to wait for the data to populate, then it's still slow until the cache has warmed up.

It's 2022 and if I want to play a rhythm game, I have to calibrate my input device because, since the days of PS/2, keyboard latency has gone up so much that I can hear the delay between the button click and the computer's reaction.

It's 2022, and when I draw something on one device, it takes several seconds for the drawing to make its way to the other, even if they're in the same room, because the data's being sent through four layers of format conversion in JavaScript, and the traffic's being sent half-way 'round the world.

It's 2022, and "blazing fast" means "slower, and probably more buggy, than Windows 95".
I've been reviewing a lot of resume's lately that call out the candidate's exact date of birth and marital status. Many even call out their parents' occupation. I've seen more than one that say "Mother's Occupation: Homemaker".

Although I now realize this is a cultural difference issue, it caught me off guard at first.

Just leave a small board, a battery, and a solar panel on a roof or tree near your office. If RCE is possible with this (people think it is), this would be very valuable.

On a tree near my office, you'd gain access to our network, Microsoft's and a European central bank. Not bad at all.

Logical operators are failing us in this discussion, so I'll try restructuring it:

Your boss can be your friend, and prioritize their job over your friendship.

It's easy to get into a social position where we place too much trust into friendship driving the decisions people make.

Like you said, replacing that trust with distrust can block you, not only from the negative opportunities we want to avoid (like your boss firing you for burnout), but also the positive opportunities (like your boss helping you overcome the burnout).

It would be really convenient if either one of these choices (trust vs. distrust) was a clear winner, but it looks like neither of them is intrinsically better.

The silver lining is that your relationship with your boss isn't the only or most important relationship your can have. Even if you don't have the opportunity to get help from your boss to deal with your burnout, you can still seek help from others. Some people, like trained therapists, are well equipped and motivated to help.
My wording may have confused you. When I said "in a Kubernetes environment" it probably would've been more clear to say "to deploy in a" or "for a Kubernetes environment". So I'm talking about installing things like podman or docker, awscli, tfe, jq, your editor of choice, kubectl, all the stuff you need to push to a pipeline to be deployed on k8s.
Buying a dozen eggs and not having one of them be cracked when you use them. The clear plastic cartons might help you see a fully smashed egg, but it doesn't let you see the small cracks. Especially for brown eggs. The cashier double checks the eggs anyway, but there's always a cracked one once I have paid.

Testing Libraries for the Decentralized Web
Cross-platform user interface libraries, including desktop<->mobile. GTK and QT work for desktop-only apps, but once you include mobile there's no good, solid solution for this except a web view.
To your last point; because it should be a touch specific interface but it's abused as a checkbox on desktop by designers. Mobile app platforms have this natively but HTML is supposed to be platform independent.
Either way, it would be a strange experience to hit Command-Q to “quit” (close all windows) the Finder only to land right back in the Finder (desktop) again.
I'd disagree. In terms of privacy and anonymity, Matrix is an unguaranteeable nightmare. Just all the IRC bridges alone are a worst case scenario on what can happen with your data.

Fair question! Windows does it pretty much the same way under the hood: the file is not affected until you paste it in the new location. If you never complete the paste, the cut command does nothing. The difference is the interaction maps to another, better-known one that is much easier to discover if you've used a text editor or word processor. I recall the default Ubuntu file manager working the same way, but I don't have an installation running at the moment.

On Windows, the cut file is dimmed out after you press [cmd+x] to indicate something has happened.
The capacity has been expanded so you should be able to get in now!

I’m still not sure what the author thinks sucks about wallets like ApplePay or GooglePay. They are the most convenient options both online and in-person.

Gotta add another vote for printers in general. All of our computers "lose" the printer at least once a month, even though it has a static IP address etc. Only solution is to remove and reinstall. Then it never remembers quality settings, which is important because normal quality is utter crap that nobody would ever want. (TBF that last part is more of an OS problem.) Then there's the "can't print black because you're out of yellow" thing, and so many more. How can everything about printers still be so awful even after decades of that awfulness being so well known that it's the subject of memes and jokes?

Special bonus: suspend/resume on even the most vanilla of laptops. The one I'm on now keeps hanging on wakeup because (I'm 90% sure) the fingerprint-reader driver is total trash. I've been hearing lots of reports of suspend/resume problems with 12th gen Intel processors, on multiple platforms. Windows or Linux, same. Again: how is this something that vendors can't even test properly, after all this time?
`python -m http.server` if they are in the same network? Sure, you have no authentication/security, but for quick+dirty it works fine

That's all great till you don't have network, or you're abroad and need to shell out a $15 roaming day pass to pay for a freaking croissant. No thanks.

At least the credit card networks achieved some degree of industry standardization. I can pay with my freaking phone and it requires my fingerprint to validate the payment. I'm not clear what lack of convenience you're referring to

I assume WebRTC or similar could handle this. I just googled it and this showed up: https://www.sharedrop.io/

But - in many cases people need to transfer files asynchonously - either because they can't guarantee both machines will be online for the duration of the transfer, or the other person wants to receive the file at some other time other than "now".
Perhaps the 3DS was on to something with those tiny IR sensors on the front.
I see them a lot for interns and new grads. I think there's a bunch of templates that have these 'features' and when people are first starting out they don't know better. No interviewer I've ever met thought 5-star ratings were a good idea.
I didn't say this instance was Crony Capitalism per se. It's the idea that Uncle Sam gets too deep into too many things and yet the masses of voters believe we have free markets, Capitalism, etc.

What I expect is less insanity. Sure, help the people that were there. But for others to be coming in from the outside and exploiting the gov's offers, that's hardly reasonable and smart.

Furthermore, it's hypocritical - and costly - for the gov to say "climate change is coming it's going to raise the oceans..." and then in the next breath "here's taxpayer money to rebuild in a low-lying area because this isn't going to happen again." If we want people to take climate change seriously, then mixed signals like this aren't helping.
It is centralized and mostly not E2ee. It has mainly the same problems as WhatsApp.
Oh right, back in the day .dot was a template file.
