No, “solved problems” is the essential deliverable of a software engineer, and the more senior one gets the less often “submitting code” is the correct path to solving a problem. Someone might submit code based on your work, but there’s no direct correlation between “submitted code” and “did your job” at higher levels.

Message passing was basically a solution for this in the tech world. Send messages to everyone and if they implement that message then they act.
Israel has mandatory military service. Of course, the smarter ones are working computer jobs instead of carrying guns in danger zones. Of course, the smarter ones want to make money working in tech instead of staying at IDF.

Next, you're going to tell me that hundreds of former Korean spies are working in jobs at Google, Facebook, and Amazon.
Agree. Imagine if someone claimed dominion over a chunk of the sky or an acre of water. You'd call him a fool and ignore him. The only way land is different is that it's easier to demarcate.
Older millennials were still exposed to a lot of print media growing up! I'm 30 and we always had print newspapers and magazines in my house. We ordered clothes from catalogs throughout my childhood. In high school we all read gossip and fashion magazines religiously - Perez Hilton's blog was still a novelty and most teenage girls were reading print magazines on a regular basis. It's easy to forget just how quickly the internet supplanted print media...it wasn't until around 2010 when smartphones went mainstream that people, even young people, started using the internet as their one and only source of information. We're barely a decade into this new world.

I do hope print media makes a comeback! It's so relaxing to read something that's not interactive and isn't constantly bombarding you with embedded video players and notifications. I have given away my kindle and returned to reading print books because I felt that I didn't absorb or properly remember the books I read on it - it felt like my brain didn't process the information the same way it does when I read a physical book.
Its not always just about tabindex. For example it might be about understanding that there are multiple ways to fill out a form that makes sense. Then hiding/showing pieces as needed and/or providing hotkeys to jump from field 1 to field 5 because the user doesn't want to fill out 2,3,4 because they are optional. Its about keystroke optimization. Sure they can press tab 3 times, or they can just press ctrl-5 (or whatever) to get there.

If you watch people use the sabre command line interface (the one from the 1970s?), you can see some of what i'm talking about when people are just filling out the forms with the submission line, its less using the GUI and more just knowing some sequence of keystrokes that results in an action being taken.

AKA its possible to do both, without having the user wear out the tab key, or grabbing the mouse all the time.
Interesting idea for a new Qubes Net VM.
My husband and I share a 1Password library. We initially toyed with the idea of having a separate "shared" library but deciding what we did and didn't want to share seemed like a lot of effort so now we just share everything.
It is a problem because with TUI keyboard is the first-class input device whereas with GUI and especially HTML it an afterthought most of times. Yes, there are exceptions like Twitter and Gmail and then there are millions other interfaces where mouse is the only way to navigate.
Forking whole communities is allowed, encouraged, and often has positive effects in open source. Does anyone suggest XEmacs (being both a code and community fork) or Wayland (being a community fork) as being wholly bad ideas?
The main problem is that even if it was cutting edge at the time, they can't or won't upgrade it. Of course iPads, which do upgrade their SoC every year, aren't as good at playing games.
At least to me, a partial cause for that is the Scientology "church" in the 1970s and later [1]. When the IRS backed down due to their threats instead of hitting them with fines, that sent a very bad signal: if you're big and aggressive enough, we'll let you continue making a joke out of the tax code and focus on smaller fishes instead.

I was commuting across state lines at the time. Never looked deeply as I left before it became relevant and it was what it was in any case. MA would have been more than NH and I thought it would be NH but not sure why.

But the bigger point is that unemployment insurance is very little money compared to a good professional salary.
If the US goverment truly has plans to censor/control American social media at will, Then all of their arguments against Tiktok lose meaning.

The whole argument is that China can influence TikTok to change content to hide truths and harm other nations, which is soon going to apply to the US too, if not already.

imagine if the US removed anything against the Apartheid state(Facebook already does this, any news showing what's actually happening in occupied Palestine is removed), or if it does another invasion and it removes any reports going against the Governments story?

The difference is the U.S. has never been challenged in tech and influence, and now they have and they don't like it, they don't like to live under the mercy of another country with its own interest that doesn't match with the US.

Truly, the US is finally getting a taste of its own medicine.

With all of that said, I can't deny that the US would still be probably better than China in freedom of speech.

If it's so easy and solves all our problems, why is heatpump adoption so low in most of Europe? I'm not saying heatpumps aren't good, I'd love to heave a heatpump in my apartment but you're assuming some idealistic scenarios and conditions that just aren't happening in the real world in most countries due to a collection of factors.

Legally, you are not allowed to drill and install your own heatpump/AC in apartment buildings in some EU countries, even you're the owner. You're also not allowed to make any modifications to the façade, as in install additional insulation or swap out your windows. All these need to be done for the whole building all at once with planning and funds ahead of time. Things move super slow. Then there's the issue of money (we don't have much right now) and another bottleneck is the shortage of skilled certified contractors for installations, which are also very expensive. My balcony door broke and I got an appointment with a handyman almost 2 months out.

I've mostly seen heatpumps grow in popularity in newer homes or where people are well off to own their house and also to upagrade it with latest tech. In the cities where most people rent or in homes where people don't have much money, they aren't upagrading anything, so still use wood, gas and oil burning for heating. Telling people who can barely afford heating bills to install heatpumps is like telling people who can barely afford gas to buy Teslas.

Current EU efforts are securing enough cheap fossil fuels to burn through the existing infrastructure, rather than completely swap out old infrastructure so EU heatpump adoption is nowhere near as high as what you imagine (otherwise please provide some numbers with sources).

So no, just because you can drill a hole in the wall, doesn't mean heatpumps now magically appear in every home overnight, otherwise it would have been done already.

There's an easy way to go about it – keep increasing funding while every incremental dollar still has a positive ROI, and then stop. There's probably no other government agency where you can measure the value of an employee so objectively. By all measures we are very far from that limit.
We do the same. My wife sees tons of suboptimal healthcare delivery due to lack of doctors having the necessary information. In our current area, it is easy to find doctors they use mychart and interface with local hospital, so if we were to end up in the hospital, our medical history is immediately available.
It looks like a nice utility and all. My comment is about the project name, which is poorly chosen (in my opinion).

Windows has something called the Windows Shell, of which the File Explorer is a big part: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_shell#Relation_with_Fi....

The Windows Shell is exposed to programs via Shell API: <shellapi.h> header file, shell32.dll library.

It has functions like ShellExecuteEx for launching items.

It's like if you used the name Word for some package of macros that extend Microsoft Word, or Firefox for a Firefox add-on. Confusing naming can invite opportunities for miscommunication surrounding a project.
I agree with you. Although I don't think it's incompetence so much as laziness. Not just "too lazy to make a good UI" but "too lazy to find out what makes a UI good." I've seen so many coworkers happy to slap some basic form together and expect that to be good enough.

I'm constantly writing UI for sports teams who do not at all like to waste time with these kind of fiddly UI elements and flows. Most of them would likely stick to Excel if our solutions are more cumbersome (which is a high bar to meet/beat, but rightfully so). They need to be able to easily get to data and relevant, connected pieces of data, quickly enter data into relatively complex forms, and have it all be clear, reliable, and fault-tolerant. This means making some tradeoffs, particularly around what is considered modern UI aesthetics, and doing things most UI developers don't need to do such as automating little things, adding hotkeys, etc.
I don’t think you are showing respect when you simplistically repeat your assertion without effort, after two people expended their precious time to tell you in detail that you are wrong with examples. I don’t know anything, but a few minutes following the provided links and I find https://cxsecurity.com/issue/WLB-2007030065 which says:

The Xbox 360 security system is designed around a hypervisor concept. All games and other applications, which must be cryptographically signed with Microsoft's private key, run in non-privileged mode, while only a small hypervisor runs in privileged ("hypervisor") mode. The hypervisor controls access to memory and provides encryption and decryption services.

The policy implemented in the hypervisor forces all executable code to be read-only and encrypted. Therefore, unprivileged code cannot change executable code. A physical memory attack could modify code; however, code memory is encrypted with a unique per-session key, making meaningful modification of code memory in a broadly distributable fashion difficult. In addition, the stack and heap are always marked as non-executable, and therefore data loaded there can never be jumped to by unpriviledged code.

Unprivileged code interacts with the hypervisor via the "sc" ("syscall") instruction, which causes the machine to enter hypervisor mode.

You can argue your own definition of what a hypervisor is, but I suspect you won’t get any respect for doing so.

I had briefly been on some reddit / discord community that had a space for news, and another one for homework,

But I left because a single moderator was racist and misogynistic without realizing it (he mostly said you had to tell the 'minorities' that even them could apply to jobs or you were not supporting, and thought you had to teach Europeans about women because they didn't did this in job ads)

Now I'm on matrix ! There are some interesting communities about various subjects. But the fact they're on matrix indicates they're basically these IT passionate like on HN.

I also wondered if academic meetings are open to everyone. I remember that some non-IT university researchers used to spend time at local meetings and larger conferences, with co-workers from other universities. But these events seemed to be mostly open to researchers, or cost a lot when they are open to professionals.

At best, you have your uni alumni or a local club, if you're interested in these news.

Anyway, tell me if you find a relevant community online !

It is really complicated to answer.

There are things that are super easy. For example samba is a real dropin replacement for an AD, you can join windows computer to it very easily. Similarly, the bigger distros all have easy setup to enable joining a linux desktop to an Active Directory for auth.

> who are these people who are still using Facebook every day?

I'm using it pretty frequently, often daily. It may not be the place where everyone is posting their frequent updates, but I still have hundreds of acquaintances who post periodic updates (or read mine), a few circles who use FB events to manage announcements/invites, and FB serves as well as it ever has as a Rolodex.

I get that people get cranky about their feeds and/or concern about psychological or social effects of social media, but FB isn't at all unique here. Any social media you aren't the customer of is going to make its money either directing/selling your attention (which means messing with the feed) or data about your attention, and so naturally most do and there's not really an alternative, there's just a perception of what's fashionable among a given circle.

>> "More than half say their rent is at least 10% higher than it was six months ago, and in seven say rents have increased at least 20%."

And it's not just businesses of course. we all know how high rents have gotten in residential.

but, what really gets me is that it does NOT have to be this way. I've been reading Henry david thoreau a writer from 200 years ago and I was stunned about how much higher their standard of living was for shelter.

Here are some figures from thoreau's book walden:

Unskilled labor was paid 1$ per day

Skilled labor 1.50$ to 2$ per day

Land was 8$ per acre

Average Houses cost 800 days of unskilled labor (800$)

Rent for a "Spacious apartment" with lots of bells and whistles was 50$/yr (25-100$/yr) so about 50 days of labor per year.

Now, look how far we've fallen in the last 200 years:
at 100$ a day for unskilled labor
The average house now costs 3000 days of unskilled labor plus another 2000 days for property taxes over 50 years. -> that's 5000 days almost 6 times more than 200 years ago.

Apartments: for 50 days of unskilled labor, thats 5000$ a year, you couldn't even rent a room for that much.

* The spacious apartment Henry described included the following: "Rumford fireplace, Venetian blinds, Copper pump and many more things"

Our standard of living for providing shelter has dropped so significantly, that now it takes 30 years to pay off a house whereas back then it took only 10 years, with higher interest rates too! thoreau felt even this was too long and too much of burden, so we went off into the woods and built himself a nice little cabin for just 28$ (cost of building material)

And yes, they didn't have electricity and some of the things we have today. so, there are some differences.

Did we simply get worse at building shelter? No, of course not. The problem is all regulation and zoning and land use policy. Are our regulations so precious that we would give up so much?

Shelter and housing whether its for business or residential doesn't need to be so scarce or hard to come by: it's a political choice people have made.
