You mean like the people who are telling us that happened also said:

> CNN is not publishing “HanA*holeSolo’s” name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

>CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

Yeah, I totally trust these people to not lie.
As a European the severance for a large company doesn’t sound all to different to what I am used to. Normally you have 3 months by contract plus some add a month per year tenure. Healthcare costs, career support etc is normal for larger/successful companies. Then certain countries (not the company) will pay 80percent of your salary for 2 years to find a new job.

Happy that some companies also start to do this in the US, but yeah it sounds that this is not a given. It will generate a better transition and avoid serious mental problems/personal issues.

Oh thank god. I'm just ignorant.
whether you can sell on secondary markets is restricted by the company. pretty sure Stripe has not let most employees sell on secondary markets. personally have not seen them solicited on Forge or EquityZen myself.
"Deeply depressing" is watching a miner, lumberjack, fisherman, construction worker, etc risk their health and even life for a pittance of a wage.

"Deeply depressing" is seeing how many of them end up walking funny, being deeply in pain, and end up addicted to drugs to cope.

"Deeply depressing" is not watching people who are paid 2x-10x or more society's average having to pull one crunch time in their comfy and safe indoor job.
A kinder rephrasing of "companies are bad at interviewing" would be that finding out who is a good fit for a company (and vice versa) is a very difficult problem, more so given the resource constraints.

Tell HN: GitHub now requires location information to verify student status
"Wanna get the student benefits? Give us your location lmao"

also the whole application is way more annoying than it used to be, they won't just use an edu email but want some documentation of active status. and there's a bunch more about "your application is more likely to be approved if you have completely filled out your bio with your real name and university" blah blah blah. BLEH i am not doing that.
Before going into the details of the new Rust release, we'd like to draw attention to... [political cause]

The cause in this case is undeniably worthy, its an awful situation in an often crappy world, but what does it have to do with this release? Where do you start and stop with the issue-raising in technical release news?
I don't talk directly about Youtube, but also serving Disney, hula, but ESPECIALLY national/continental portals like Arte.tv, Play-SRF, ARD-Mediathek etc.
Regarding installing untrustworthy software, you also have to be mindful of software which has been acquired by another entity. Your trusty file manager could turn into something entirely different just by applications automatically updating.

Amazon has become my vendor of last resort. I first started noticing a change in the quality of their goods and vendors 2-3 years ago. Now it's gotten bad enough to where I'm actively avoiding them - even going to brick and mortar stores to avoid having to do business with them. I still have Amazon vendors I trust, but I no longer trust Amazon to vet their vendors - and that's a HUGE degradation of service!
Ask HN: What's stopping you from blogging?
I know it's fallen out of favor lately but I still enjoying blogging. I've been blogging since 2007 and I'm interested in encouraging others.

I started writing, publicly but to myself, primarily so I could remember how to do technical processes that I didn't repeat very often.

If you've ever considered blogging but haven't started what's stopping you?

Interesting perspective. I have an iPad 3rd generation where Apple doesn't allow OS updates and doesn't allow installing a non-Apple browser engine. So it's essentially getting bricked as web sites start relying on features not implemented in the ancient Safari engine on it. Twitter, for instance, refuses to load. Youtube does work okayish, as long as you don't log in.

Once it's completely bricked, I'm throwing it out and not getting anything with an Apple logo. Unless something like the EU manages to make them open up.
Son’s account of Alibaba’s tech stack (custom Java, custom git etc.) was very interesting, too. Would love to hear more about it.
> I work with TeX quite a lot and I can't even really understand intuitively the principles of the language design let alone the grammar.

Read the TeXbook. No, really, it is a beautifully written text. The program it describes is quite elegant. Most of the complexity comes from modern LaTeX packages, not from the core tool.

Why would I pay $1 million for a 1 bed, 600 sq ft apartment in the city when I can get a 3000 sq ft house with a couple acres of land for just 350k?

Sure it's an 8 mile drive to the nearest grocery store, but it takes less than 10 minutes.

My 1 mile drive to the grocery store in the city would often take me 20+ minutes due to traffic and parking was never guaranteed and was a huge source of stress. Both at the store and upon returning home (due to street parking).

With remote work, I still reap the same benefit of a nice salary but my cost of living and sources of stress are nearly gone.

It's simply a no brainer. I gtfo of the city when Covid started and could not be happier with my decision.
I largely agree with you, and would refer those with the concern I described to an idea I met in Brené Brown's writing:

"To make the world safe for feet, one might try to cover it entirely in leather, which is an insurmountable task. However, if you put the leather on your own feet..."

My goal wasn't to argue the concern was objectively correct, just to point out that it was different from what was being critiqued.

What frustrates me is when people argue about solutions before they clarify their language. The value of that ACX post is in the second - it clarifies the language - it shows that we can distinguish (at least in some fuzzy way) between moderation and censorship - and that is the very first step in analysing solutions.

preparing for an eventual end to the free money rally instead of over-hiring isn't exactly something I'd consider to fall into the realm of psychic abilities.

is "we're a fast growing business but this cannot last indefinitely, let's not overexpand" ´really too much to ask for? It's constantly happening to tech companies because of their internal fantasies.
Minimal dependency: you will have to get it serviced from time to time, but I find that charming—like getting a pair of shoes resoled or renewing a piece of wooden furniture. You’re extending the life of the object, some beyond your own lifespan.

You joke, but every time I see this product mentioned my brain thinks it's some sort of trendy alternative medicine thing that's made from cow urine or something before I remember it's a photo processing tool.

I guess the name is memorable, at least.
Or a small computer with a disk at a friend's home and backup to that. It's cheaper than cloud after one or two years, always less reliable, network speed is probably OK, you can have physical access. If the friend is a techy it could be one among many other little computers in that home. You can reciprocate by hosting his/her backup at your home.
So it was a bug that he could fix in only 5 minutes that solved everything? It sounds like he fixed a wrongly defined variable. Probably should have gotten something better but also someone should have excoriated the QA team/system and whoever wrote the code.

Whoever made that mistake should have just taken your buddy out for a nice dinner.

That's some well-lubricated evasion.

Let's assume that you are not a child, that you are confident in your ability to manage your snark and, most of all, highly value your conversation.

I'm going to conclude that yes, you definitely dislike being told how to talk.
Do you read the news or talk to people outside of Meta? Like it or not meta lost the PR war

Their users are trending older now, and the brunt of ad revenue will be destroyed eventually. Why do you think Mark pivoted the company?
If you use something other than JSON you'd have to wait until every app you want to use chooses to update to support your preferred format. That might take a while. Wouldn't it be better to use JSON for the output as that's an acceptable input to lots and lots of applications already, and if you want to read the output just pass it to an app that converts from JSON to "something formatted with pipes, quotes and spaces".
Totally agree. I’ve been looking into replacement and it’s not something I’m comfortable doing on my own.

One tip: put your Pebble in airplane mode each night. For me, it extends my battery life substantially. I mapped long-hold left button to toggle this setting, for ease of use.
There’s a study to be done on the polarization around twitter threads. I have zero problem with them and find overall that lots of great ideas are posted in threads, and the best folks doing it end up with super cogent and well written pieces.

I buy them in bulk from a factory outlet nearby, so the price is reasonable given my income. Furthermore I find they can withstand the hilly and muddy half marathons that I run, while keeping my feet in good condition. I like to run after work, so by wearing these socks to work I can give myself one less thing to pack/change into. (I dislike the aesthetics of dark socks with shorts)

As I must wear smart clothes to work, and white socks with a suit is a fashion faux pas, this means I must wear smart boots to work. But this works for me as then I choose zip-up boots to save time doing laces.

I acknowledge this 'life hack' is a minor time and convenience saving with some drawbacks, and clearly won't work for everyone. But as a working father with two young children, this gives me a little more time to spend on myself, and a little more time with them.

I doubt ISP's give an entire rack to Netflix. I wouldn't be surprised if they only get like 4U total (hence why throughput per server is so important to Netflix).
LOL, tell that to the NSA/FBI and see how they feel about those conversations when they need to dig up dirt on you. :P

It’s not technically illegal to have those conversations, but it’s in some kind of a grey area, because if you’re having conversations like those; the immediate question is of course why…it’s tough to find reasons to bring up that topic other than the obvious.
Kind of genius to put it in the middle. Most normal people write a tweet that blows up and then have to append "Check out my soundcloud!" on the end. Or an advert for the nightsky lamp.

TeX is a program for typesetting, and IMO if one is a programmer, it is best used as a target or output format: do all your "document" stuff somewhere else (don't use LaTeX), and use TeX just for typesetting. You can have your document in some parsable format, but not require it of the output .tex file, just as we expect high-level programming-language source code to be parsable but don't really expect to get much utility out of parsing assembly or object code.

Knuth initially added macros to TeX just as a convenience to save some typing here and there, and the tradition of (ab)using that macro ability as a language in which to program, inaugurated in a small way by Knuth himself and later taken to dizzying heights by others (such as Leslie Lamport with LaTeX, and hundreds/thousands of assorted "package" authors since, and the LaTeX team currently), is IMO a mistake.

If you use TeX just for typesetting, it is quite a nice program that does what you want, and has very good error messages (yes) and debugging output.
In spirit it's extremely similar, but as it doesn't have large finances behind it, it lags behind in terms of features.

It's totally usable, but it doesn't have a vibrant app store like Pebble did for example.
The idea is to help people learn programming by making it easier for them to think of and execute projects which they share with others. In this case those projects are the making of the console/engine itself and for a much wider group of people the contribution of games to the game library. Thanks for contributing to both!

We decided to make the physical console because it was a cool thing to do and would help motivate people to follow through with projects and make games.
>The reality is there's very little evidence for an actual "broader slowdown".

I'm not sure about 'broader slowdown' but in the industry I'm in we've seen a massive slowdown in signups and expansions in the existing customers. When we speak with our customers, especially banks, they are seeing massive slowdowns on their side.

Someone has bad metrics here, and when most of our customers across a wide range of industries are laying off, then I'd say that's pretty broad.
That sounds like Reaction Engines Skylon / Lapcat A2.
This is it ? This is the GAT release ? Should we celebrate now or wait a bit more ?
Not OP, but you can't really make your own apps for it. There are third party clients for it, though, and you can export data through them.

I like mine, except for the fact that the front fell off and I had to glue it back on. The battery lasts for 3 or 4 weeks, you can receive notifications (but not respond to them) and it looks fairly stylish.
I'm going to guess everyone was a lot older than you and already knew their finances quite well - so one free meal a week added up to something for them.
I’ve found hardware-oriented businesses to be woefully behind the times when it comes to software engineering processes. This article is no exception. Although I agree with his overall framing, once you get to the details, James is describing a document-oriented approach that was in vogue about 25 years ago, and has long since been superseded.

What replaced it? Agile. Wait, don’t throw rotten vegetables—I’m not talking about the overwrought excuse for micromanagement people call “Agile” nowadays, but the truly innovative thinking that was happening in the late 90s and early 2000s. Stuff like the Poppendiecks’ Lean Software Development (based on their experience at 3M) and Cockburn’s Agile Software Development (based on research he originally conducted at IBM). And of course Beck’s Extreme Programming, based in part on his work with Ward Cunningham at Tektronix.

These processes and thinking started with the reality that it’s impossible, given a large, complex system, to correctly specify everything in advance. They recognized that documents are a particularly poor communication medium—one that’s time-consuming to create and consume, and very difficult to do in a way that isn’t misunderstood.

Instead, they focused on people as more important than process, and adaptation as more important than prediction. Traditional SDLCs fell by the wayside, and for good reason: they didn’t work well. Their document-heavy approach resulted in poor visibility for management and software that met the spec but not customer needs.

I talk about this more in my book. The first chapter talks about how and why Agile supplanted traditional processes. It’s free online (along with a lot of other material) here: https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/books/aoad2/what_is_agile
There are a lot of slides and I am on my phone, so sorry if it was addressed in the slides.

How does Linux compare currently? I know in the past FreeBSD was faster, but are there any current comparisons?
Spam is advertising, right? That doesn't need special protection. Flooding is like the heckler's veto so that could also be against the rules, it doesn't need special protection either.

As to moderation, why not be able to filter by several factors, like "confidence level this account is a spammer"? Or perhaps "limit tweets to X number per account", or "filter by chattiness". I have some accounts I follow (not on Twitter, I haven't used it logged in in years) that post a lot, I wish I could turn down the volume, so to speak.
Remarks like "my code is highly readable", "my code has good comments", "my code runs faster", "my code is simple and separable", ... mean nothing unless your code is read by someone else and compared to code written by another competitive programmer (YouTube and Udemy tutorials usually don't fall here).
Under "QUIC Issues" it mentions "Private QUIC" and offhandedly remarks that there is no way to use QUIC without CA based TLS which is built in. This means that QUIC cannot be used without the continuing approval of a third party incorporated entity. This is a very serious problem when QUIC takes over in user software (made by megacorps) and eventually drops HTTP/1.1 support. It will be the end of the open web and the beginning of a corporate controlled one.

Ignoring this extremely dangerous outcome of a QUIC only world, this write-up is excellent and really clears things up.

The trend of companies taking huge late stage rounds was always going to blow up the public tech IPO market. Many companies get too used to free money and operating with little inspection. By the time they feel like they "have to go public" the growth rate has peaked and they haven't learned to operate with any level of financial scrutiny. Result is private market investors do great and all too frequently public markets bomb in 6-12 months or sooner.
Good.

But how come you used an example from the left? How come you weren’t neutral and used an example from both sides? Now you looked biased and are guilty of spreading the same misinformation you’re claiming was spread in the Pelosi instance. You will cause violence against republicans with your comments, so you are now just as guilty.

Furthermore, speaking of misinformation, Pelosi’s attacker was a hardcore liberal, then suddenly became a hardcore Trumpist? And the evidence supporting this was viewed by a handful of police officers and we just have to trust them that someone can make this radical of a change from receiving misinformation? Parts of this story still don’t add up, and looks very convenient to happen right now before midterms. On top of an 82 year old surviving a hammer attack.
Darklang Release 6
Butter is everywhere in restaurants, that could be a big issue, especially in higher-end restaurants. And "fast casual" places tend to have some kind of cheese at the counter.

I have celiac disease, so I also have a lot of issues with cross contamination at restaurants, and I have problems similar to GP.

I can usually eat at restaurants, but I need to ask a lot of questions and/or make sure I go when they aren't busy, so I can be reasonably sure that the kitchen staff have the time to ensure that my food isn't contaminated. I also need to avoid fast casual restaurants unless it looks like the food bins at the counter have been recently replenished (less risk of utensil contamination).

I simply don't eat at company events, and for that reason I too don't put any value on food as a company gift. I try to eat pretty healthy anyway, so I don't mind being barred from pizza, Italian combo sandwiches, and tacos. When the team goes out to lunch, I usually walk with them to the door of the restaurant, and then go my own way.

That said, GP seems to be carrying a lot of guilt and bearing a lot of emotional burden related to this. Seems like the company work environment might have been disrespectful and/or toxic for other reasons, of which the food issues were a symptom.
If they under-expand, people will similarly complain when their stock languishes compared to other stocks and the board will replace them with someone telling a growth story. The only thing the stock market rewards is growth, so is it really their fantasy?

Example: I work in medical devices, a regulated space. My job is 50% normal software engineering, and 50% dealing with BS regulations. It's part of the job. You can get annoyed at it, but it won't go away, and the job can be very fulfilling if you can get past the BS part.
I feel like I have nothing to teach - the blogs I like to read explain things but anything I know is better explained elsewhere. This is the curse of the internet.
