I was at many of those protests, the attempts to "burn down" a federal courthouse were laughably inept. The cops WANTED the protestors to get farther on it than they did, I talked to a group of about 12 cops the night the march went to the Mayor's house (completely peaceful march, camp set up outside his townhouse pied a terre, no violence or property damage that I'm aware of). Those cops were LIVING for the idea that they might get to brutalize a bunch of protestors for actually posing a threat to the Justice Center. But the people attempting to do so were, uh, not very good at it.

I've lived here for 23 years and been an activist intermittently through the years. The activists/antifa here are not the supersoliders the press, the cops and the mayors make them out to be. They're mostly street kids, crust punks, well-meaning college and grad school students, some hippies and autistic communists. Not an invading army ffs. Just folks. Also, Andy Ngo is a fascist bootlicker pissbaby loser and his followers are Nazis, so you can fuck right off with that "attempted murder of a gay immigrant journalist" tripe you're selling.
These are excuses. Just hear yourself saying "I want to enjoy the benefits of feeling rich but leave all the inconveniences to locals".

A country typically has a framework that determines whether you are a tax resident based on how long you spend there within some period of time. If you stay long enough to qualify and do not pay the tax the next year, you are in violation. If you work around it by moving between countries to stay just below this limit good for you, but you should be aware you are working around the law and are not a bona fide tourist no matter what you say about benefitting local economy and society and splashing money around.

And no, earning and spending more doesn't absolve you--in fact you are obligated to pay more tax in countries with progressive taxes.

The countries you seem to be talking about are likely having tough times overcoming their preexisting problems with law compliance. Try being a positive change rather than import even more of that "law doesn't apply to me" attitude, especially since it seems like it'd not cause a splash for you.

It's raining hard here. I've just discovered our roof is leaking. It looks like some of the concreting that held the tiles up has come loose and a large section will need to be replaced.

As I hate heights and know nothing about roofing, so I'm going to have to get a professional in to fix it. This is going to really hurt financially.

Not something I'd bother whinging about here normally but this seems like the place to post it. HN is what's left of the web, HN is home.

A corner of a nice city park we live by contains a permanently closed Sizzler and an empty parking lot. It’s at a busy intersection, also be a freeway exit, in a desirable area. A developer came in and proposed building an apartment building with a restaurant or café on the ground floor. Seemed like a good idea and a nice use of the corner.

Residents poured in complaints. They wanted the city to buy the corner and turn it into a green patch of grass.

The developer warned that the space was too valuable ($7 mil for .8 acres), the city wouldn’t want to purchase it, and the only other financially viable options would be a drive-thru, bank or a gas station.

Well, the developer pulled out given the community opposition, and the corner of the park was purchased and will now be a Kum & Go gas station.

No the point is that if your house is locked, that it will make the burglar try your neighbor's house which is unlocked. Or they'll just throw a rock through your window.

While getting my CS degree, I also had a job as the SA for a small local ISP. Two Linux boxes, a PortMaster, and a dozen or so 56K Hayes modems. RADIUS authentication between the PM and the Linux boxes. Can't recall how we did accounting. I probably wrote a Perl script that scraped the RADIUS logs.

The Linux distribution was probably Slackware. Kernel was probably early 2.x?

Fun times...

The folks I interview these days with their new fenagled CS degrees have no clue how anything works. They can write code, sure, barely, but they can't answer a single question about how _any_ of it works.

How do you get a CS degree and not know the difference between TCP and UDP?

There were less than 40 years between the first integrated circuit and the world wide web. I mostly share your QC skepticism, but as a bet this would be risky.
That’s correct, they sell (sold?) a model hitch doesn’t even include the lockset.
The tweet's author is a product designer who worked at FB for 4 years from 2008-2012, i.e. they left before FB hit massive scale, and more importantly has little to no understanding of the engineering / ops / content moderation required to run FB in the year 2022. They have since not worked at any company aside from as an investor (see https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobby-goodlatte/). I'm not making any claim on whether FB has too many employees, but this person is clueless.

That's right. Unlike Slack, they don't delete or archive older messages, even on free accounts. This is a major reason more and more open source projects have been migrating from Slack to Discord.
There are elements of ideology, but I think a lot of us just see the writing on the wall in that twitter now needs to squeeze more profit out of its userbase (to pay the interest on the debt from the LBO) and is likely to change in big ways.

To the extent that it’s ideological, the ideology is that many small instances are better than one big one so that a billionaire can’t destroy it in a flash.
First you may need to find the appropriate tests, which is essentially the same problem OP describes.
> If the overall lack of experienced technical personnel were such an issue, why are the project failures on the software side, with zero issues reported on the mechanical side?

Slide 38 explicitly lists staffing challenges in GNC (guidance, navigation, and control), FSW (flight software), avionics, and systems engineer.

Slide 41 also talks about external factors: "...this has required the experienced cadre to be spread thin... the rise of the commercial space industry in recent years has resulted in competition for experienced personnel, particularly in the systems engineering, GNC, and FSW areas."
♥ Wow. I am also a text-based being. I remember that feeling well as well. I realized I forgot it though through you making me experience it again now.

You have to keep in mind that any of these "review" websites are in it to maximize their revenue with referrals. They will spout whatever it takes to get you to click on the links that get them the largest kickbacks. They certainly aren't going to come out and say, "All smart locks are terrible, don't buy one."
There have been blue check-marked fake Elon Musks even before the rollout. The blue check was hard to get but it did never really help to ensure authenticity.
I like some of my apps full-screen, like nvim in the iterm should be full-screen. The top bar, tab bar and controls is not something i wanna see all the time there, as i'm using only keyboard in my workflow. I'm mostly into zen black screen with 100 columns of text in the center when it comes to editing documents, and nvim + iterm can provide such flawless black zen screen. Also games, books, graphic apps, all look better taking 100% of the height not 80%, as the 20% on top is usually mouse controls for those who don't remember any hotkeys
Hello from south Texas.

It’s amazing how life can sometimes have other plans for us and take us off course for a while. After an 8 year hiatus from paid programming I’ve started work on re-honing my skills so I can start doing interviews in the new year.

One thing that I’ve been doing away from programming is repairing stuff. From house hold items to my car. There is something satisfying about using your own hands to produce something physical. From reworking an intake manifold on a car, to fixing a dishwasher, solving physical problems can be as satisfying as coding.
You are kinda right. But I guess it's kinda inevitable. I am in college right now chasing a computer science degree. Nothing particularly intresting going in my life right now. Life right now is a constant jumble between excitement and boredom. I have a crush on a girl right now even though I rarely see her around the campus and her being from a different class makes things even harder but a crush nonetheless. I haven't been in any kind of relationships other than the usual crushes that degrades over time. I have a feeling this time it's gonna be different. It's just a feeling though. There is always a chance it'a gonna end up like all the other crushes I have had over the years.

Parents who take time for themselves and don't _just_ live for their kids tend to end up happier and with better relationships with their children as they grow up.

That’s an interesting hypothesis, but it’s largely not true. If you can buy the lock at a hardware store, it can be picked quite easily. It’s absolutely the case that locks are security theater, or perhaps more charitably they are there to keep honest people honest.
I suspect those materials were read carefully. The gist of the rebuttal is that an author cannot reserve rights they do not have and licenses "can" claim restrictions that they are not able to actually claim (depending upon local law)

> The problem is advertisers demanding assurances when the company literally had a takeover last week.

Advertisers have the right to demand all the assurances they want. There are other places to spend ad budget. In this economic context there is extra pressure to make every dollar count.
Advertisers care about brand equity and RoI. They don’t owe Twitter one dollar.
It’s not the advertisers’ fault the takeover is so messy. It’s 100% of Musk’s doing.
It’s not the activists’ fault Twitter had no good answers, irrespective of where the questions originated.
And lastly, it’s not the first media M&A deal in history. Seeking assurances post-acquisition is boringly standard practice.

I am a software/tech guy, but I've been always super passionate about the future of cities, and have spent too much time thinking and making projects related to how the "city of the future" would and should look like - of course, made in a way that would allow us to be more environmentally friendly. Now it seems a given, but ~30 years ago no one gave a shit, and I was already super interested in the environment.

At some point I founded a company to try to build something along these lines; my efforts failed, the company survived but I left after ~2 years.

Maybe one day I'll stop working on what I'm doing now (VC) and give it another try :)
Nah. Locks mostly suck.

Most burglaries are drug addicts busting a door in to grab whatever. The 4% number is a conceit… who are these lock pickers and who are they targeting? My guess, people dropping $300 on a lock.

A gender bender changes the perceived gender of something so that other things that are going to interact with it interact with it appropriately.

A company I helped found and run went through many up and down cycles where we expanded and shrank head count several times over a period of a few years.

My takeaway was this: there is a strong tendency to want to convince yourself you don't have to let go of as many people as you do. But then you just end up doing it in waves and in fact it's much more painful.

The way Musk did this is inexcusable and reprehensible, but I have no doubt that Twitter was incredibly bloated. In fact, one could make the argument that it didn't really matter who got fired, it could be a random decision. Not very empathetic but from the business perspective I think that's probably the case, and Elon Musk may be a nutcase but one thing he knows something about is how tech companies work.

Yeah, it's a common complaint, seen it on HN and Twitter quite a few times. In fact, there was recently a joke tweet with 95k likes about it:

Reading all the comments on this post made me very happy. I am from Kolkata, India and am finishing up my CSE degree in a few months. I took CS because of my interest in computers and the job prospects of a CS degree. I don't know how to say it but even though I like tech and programming, but I am not sure if I want to do it for a living for the rest of my life. Maybe it has not much to do with programming at all, but mainly with the sense of wonder and anxiety of what the future holds and if it really is my true calling.

Lately, I have been giving in more time to my exploratory side. I am reading books on philosophy and religion. If you want book recommendations, I would suggest books of Herman Hesse. Also, after being raised in a rational and atheistic surrounding, I have realized that ancient philosophers and sages philosophized more 'higher questions' about life, it's meaning, death and what comes after, etc than I thought. They passed on their knowledge to the next generations through religious texts. If you want suggestions on religious books, I would suggest starting with the Bhagavad Geeta.

If you tell people that you want to implement a quality management system with a CIP-cyclus and a risk assessment system.

What is your take on "steal code?" Are you thinking substantial portions, like a control system or the code behind a semantic image processor, or are you thinking the implementation behind 'reverse a linked list?'

NOT having tests is dept. When you can’t fearlessly add features quickly because you introduce regressions in another end of the product that you didn’t think of, and later have to spend all your time on firefighting because it got deployed to prod.

If your mocks and tests are in the way when introducing features or refactoring, they are likely not on the right level. Too much unit testing of moving internals, rather than public apis, usually being one of the culprits.
I've always been passionate about tech and recently, I discovered that helping others get software engineering jobs is something really special.

Public schools are also places where people can meet people from all walks of life. Maybe it's the only place you experience physical violence, but it's also the only place most people experience true diversity in.

I thinl social aspect of schools is the most important thing: kids learn how and where they fit in a society, no matter how artificially bound it is in school years.

And it's wrong to say people don't experience bullying after school: it may not be physical, but plenty of bad colleagues and managers to go around. Understanding social dynamics among a group of different people is crucial to going through life later on.
That sounds an awful lot like what emacs is doing in org mode (if you configure it too). I have to say, it's often nice, but sometime still gets in the way of editing in my experience. So I'm often conflicted if I want this or pure editing of the org without the rendering.
Text affinity and the command pallet is innovative. Could probably bundle this up as a Objective-C library that acts as a drop in replacement for UITextView/NSTextView. Perhaps a JS/WebComponent library for <textarea> as well. I’m sure you could extract some revenue with licensing those libraries or tech support.
