Smalltalk only got a mention in the footnotes but I think it deserves a bigger entry when talking about ways to interact with programs. If a REPL is talking to and conversing with a program then environments like Pharo take it a step further by letting you interactively and graphically look under the hood as well. It's an amazing way to interact with software once you get used to it and I think well worth checking out if only for fun. https://pharo.org/

I’m not a recruiter but figured I’d comment to help you relax a bit if I’m understanding your question correctly.

HN is very in touch with a segment of the tech sector that has seen a huge downturn. If you’re asking about positions where you’ll be making 300k in 5 years as a software engineer, I would say you’ve come to the right place and you’re probably right that those positions are even harder to come by than they were before the downturn. (I don’t really know, though. I’m just a code monkey at a normal company.)

Regarding putting food on the table and living an extremely comfortable life as a software engineer, don’t worry lol. I’d imagine the average hired competent programmer is starting at the same thing as they were before the downturn (that is to say Amazon, Meta, Twitter, etc. haven’t had a statistically significant effect on the job market). Anecdotally, my fintech company is ramping up hiring tech right now. Take a deep breath and relax, you’re in a very safe industry. (Unless you’ll only be satisfied by 300k and up, in which case I have no idea what’s going on and can’t really relate anyway.) Most if not every company has software to build; you might not be the core value generation, but the pay is still way above what new hires are making outside of software.
> For a small scale industrial process, even a really hacked together setup can work surprisingly well, and while you have a chance of running into some show stopping problem, there's an equal chance of the hacked together setup continuing to function for the required time. If labour to fix stuff and/or small enough scale to temporarily have a little downtime are effectively free, this can work out positively.

Can confirm that this is happening to some extent in biotech startups. Most of them don’t have the resources to hire grad students en masse to do the tedious labwork so they’re investing into lab automation. At the seed/series A level there usually isn’t enough money to splurge on brand name lab equipment beyond a few core pieces of equipment and with experiments running, there’s enough tech savvy downtime to experiment with hacky but cheap solutions. I’ve even seen HomeAssistant driven lab automation setups driven by AppDaemon apps with ESP32s used to control a mix of pumps and sensors (with CI/CD, though the whole thing was backed by a proper LIMS). It felt incredibly hacky but uptime was stellar once the SD card was replaced with an SSD.

It used to be that I had to go to Staubli or similar manufacturer and spec out a $50k robotic arm just to move plates from a liquid handler to the fridge. Now the same can be had for a few grand or less and there’s even open source options.

I see this PLC along those lines, where a lab might need to control a bunch of pumps and syringes with some synchronized via RS485 for realtime control and others on WiFi for less time sensitive stuff. A low cost PLC in that sweet spot between enterprise PLC and bare dev board could do really well.

These PLCs would be the perfect complement to ESP32s and RaspberryPi if they’re cheap enough to stockpile like RPis were preshortage. It’s unfortunate they haven’t published pricing yet, which tells me that it’ll be too expensive for hobbyists.

I agree that unions are probably not a universal cause for costs, but I'm not sure I buy into this 100%. The author is equating right-to-work with union representation which isn't accurate. And different unions can incur different types of costs on different projects.
The tesla plug has a decade of successful heavy use behind it, and it doesn't have a history of failing despite being the most used ev charging system and plug in the world (comparing to the ccs standards around the us and the world). You'll need to provide some references to point to tesla problems. On the other hand I have a brand new us ccs car and every time I go to a public charger it's an open question whether it will work (and yes there are a variety of problems). CCS charging is less reliable, it's a common thing for people to complain about ccs charging problems. With due respect, I think you are wrong.

> The governing body needs to capture the increase in those land values.

No. The governing body needs to not burn taxpayer funds like it's candy.

Justifying the grotesque over-spending and timelines of these projects by saying "we'll come up with a way to charge you more money in taxes to make-up the difference is the root of all problems with so many projects.

Why is it that the first reaction isn't to say do not spend my money that way!

EDIT:

Interesting to see how this is misunderstood. Let's see if I can make it simpler to understand.

1- There is nothing wrong with demanding that government use our money efficiently. This should not be controversial at all. Would you pay 4x or 10x for someone to build you home or sell you a car? Why not? Why can't we demand the same fairness from government?

2- Do not give more drugs to a drug addict. You are not going to improve the cost-effectiveness of government projects by giving them ore taxes. First make them more efficient. Then we can talk about using the savings for other projects.

3- No. Our (people) reason for existing isn't to pay taxes. Taxes should be the minimum required to do the business we require, not a cent more.

That's the problem. Nobody is interested in holding government accountable for the way they conduct business.
GB/T should probably be ignored as China being different on purpose.

This implies they didn't, which is false.

CCS was released slightly before the Model S (first to use Tesla's connector). Both were developed at the same time. At the time, there was no viable alternative for Tesla. Now, there is no reason to revert to a significantly subpar option.
I read that a Pleroma instance can handle at least 10-50x the traffic of a Mastodon instance running on the same hardware. Based on the reports from other sites that have switched from Ruby to Elixir, this claim rings true. Are you claiming otherwise? I mean, the lack of a GIL alone (thank you, functional language with immutable data!) should give a pretty massive performance improvement
I think this is an attempt to break monopoly of those traditional PLCs. There are definitely going to be good use cases for ladder logic and "tried and true" programming model which was hasn't changed since 1990's. And in this case you are correct, the new Arduino makes little sense.

But sometimes you want something more modern, that you can program in the same language your main product is in, and apply the same expertise and tooling you already have.

I am not sure Arduino is the best option, given that their ecosystem is often very low quality, but there is definitely space for regular MCU in rugged case with protected I/O.
We feel that ~300 nodes strikes a good balance in the cattle vs pets philosophy.

Going up to i3en.12xlarge (or equivalent) would probably have worked as well.

But after that the impact of loosing just one node would be too big.
It was a serious Soviet military program. The dogs were trained to run under tanks.

A dog can run much further than a soldier can throw, which was pretty much the point. If you're close enough to throw something at an enemy tank, you are typically dead.

Where there is no need for any unsafe construct, code that therefore does not use them is safe.

The same applies to, e.g., Rust: any Rust program may use unsafe blocks. That Rust programs may contain unsafe blocks does not make Rust implicitly unsafe. Even using unsafe blocks does not, by itself, make the program unsafe.
> I don't think ADHD is a thing in Europe

Mental illness doesn't respect borders. Of course it's "a thing".

See for example:
https://adhdeurope.eu
https://www.eunetworkadultadhd.com

It sounds like you don't have ADHD, so you experience normal things like procrastination. That's fine, but ADHD is something else entirely. It's a neurodevelopmental disorder that results in executive dysfunction. A lot of ADHD symptoms are things people without ADHD do encounter occasionally, just less often and to a lesser extent.

You'd have to replace the companies with something like a co-op: from my experience with EU unions they're much more like what we would call a co-op; they're working with the business and the customer for the best possible solution all-around.

Of course, in the US it's also become a huge political thing.
Many peoples' stamps are needed for any infrastructure being built. Engineers(electrical, structural, environmental, etc), architects, contractors, consultants, politicians and more, I presume. My rural county with 20,000 residences had 3 backwoods culverts replaced pre-pandemic(2 lanes, < 50 cars/day) & they each had price tags between $0.8 - $1.5 million USD. A million bucks to install new culverts & repave over... and the cheapest one wasn't even paved. Must be nice to get a slice of that pie.

Give it enough time and you can all provide services to the Chinese, in exchange for technology and goods.

I'm sure they need services, and not just raw materials they can turn into products and sell to everyone, rather than Australia in particular. But you'll service them with services.

Australian services, to be clear. Very in-demand trade good. Much like raw lithium, and batteries, that way. Everyone wants Australian services.

"Our forecasts suggest that Tesla’s market share will decline from 70% in 2021 to (an estimated) 11% by 2025" -Bank of America

The major auto manufactures are on track to have 60% of all new cars EVs by 2026. Tesla just can't compete with that volume. They need to start getting ready for the new standard now, not pulling this nonsense.
The promise was a trustless system that can operate on its own without central authorities. The problem is this proposed solution has yet to justify itself in terms of both efficiency and cost over existing alternatives which is relying on self-declared central authorities whose trust has been earned via either regulatory guarantees or well-established reputation.
Yup, I don't think it matters which one is technically better. They both get the job done, and one is an actual standard that many car makers have agreed upon -- "many" meaning "every single one except Tesla".

If Tesla wanted theirs to be standard, they should have made this move years ago. They missed the boat, and are now scrambling to avoid having to change their own sockets.
> Ahh, so Ruby doesn't - and can't[1] - support constant folding.

it is because most "OOP" languages are not really "object" languages. Ruby is a "proper" everthing is an object language, which is why everyone loves it so much even if they do not think about it.
Right, and that is atrocious UX that will put a hard cap on how popular Mastodon can become.
Tesla has been the defacto standard, yes. But their lead has been declining. All the other ev car drivers would have been better off if they could use tesla charging stations, since the entire industry is basically terrible except for tesla superchargers. With tesla saying they'll finally support ccs cars in the us I think ccs will win. You have to point to the clever infrastructure bills in congress, I think that money is what pulled tesla through to supporting ccs (eventually).
This will be the true extinction level event for this era of crypto. I now fully expect it to happen on this bear cycle. It will be interesting to watch - potentially the FTX investigation coming off the bankruptcy will set loose enough threads we will learn the truth.
I don't know of any resources, but basically you can intuit pretty easily about how to avoid allocations in Go (don't allocate or grow slices, don't use maps, avoid returning references to anything you allocate inside of your function call, etc), and there are flags you can pass to the compiler to log allocation points. If you don't allocate, then there's nothing to collect, and you can even turn off the GC altogether.

The hiQ vs. LinkedIn case update. Scraping public data is still legal [pdf]
I don't know if this bothers anyone else, but it always makes me a little grumpy when the press reports on a legal case and doesn't include a docket number so I can look up the records myself in PACER.

In this case it looks like the court is the District of Delaware Bankruptcy Court and there are 29 docket numbers, representing 29 different(?) chapter 11 bankruptcy filings by the same attorney on behalf of 29 differently named entities.

The docket numbers are 22-11066-JTD (JTD because it's assigned to Judge John T Dorsey??), 22-11067, ... 22-11094.

The entity names are respectively Alameda Research LLC; Alameda Research Ltd; FTX Trading Ltd.; Alameda Research Holdings Inc.; Clifton Bay Investments LLC; West Realm Shires Services Inc.; West Realm Shires Financial Services Inc.; Ledger Holdings Inc.; FTX Japan Holdings K.K.; FTX Europe AG; FTX Property Holdings Ltd; LT Baskets Ltd.; Alameda TR Ltd; Allston Way Ltd; Analisya Pte Ltd; Atlantis Technology Ltd.; Bancroft Way Ltd; Blue Ridge Ltd; Cardinal Ventures Ltd; Cedar Bay Ltd; Liquid Securities Singapore Pte Ltd; Maclaurin Investments Ltd.; Mangrove Cay Ltd; Paper Bird Inc; Pioneer Street Inc.; Quoine India Pte Ltd; Quoine Vietnam Co. Ltd; SNG INVESTMENTS YATIRIM VE DANISMANLIK ANONIM SIRK; Strategy Ark Collective Ltd.

This seems awfully confusing. Are the press really supposed to follow all 29 of these docket entries for new filings, or what?
Did you just wake up from a coma?
The way I read the "two to one" number is that Tesla's market share in NA is collapsing.

Even if competitors decide to use the Tesla standard, it'll be a few years before they ship it. By then, Tesla's current 66% share of deployed vehicles will almost certainly have dropped to less than 50%.

Also, Musk said they're opening up superchargers to CCS soon, so car buyers like me don't think the Tesla connector is a differentiator any more.

Having said that, I have a CCS car, and charge station availability is totally fine, at least in the parts of California where superchargers exist.

>All they did was start using technology and techniques already developed by the capitalist countries.

All they did was make a century worth of capitalist progress in a couple of decades. As the many studies I linked above clearly show, the rate of development in USSR eclipses anything ever seen under capitalism.

>The Soviet Bloc didn't spend a significant percentage of their GDP on the Iron Curtain for no reason. There wouldn't have been anyone left in East Berlin if the wall wasn't built.

That's frankly nonsensical. The Soviet bloc was under an attack from the most powerful empire in the history of the world during its whole existence. That's what the Iron Curtain was built against.

>The state of peoples' happiness tends to be a constant regardless of their economic status.

You should go tell that to 30 million Americans who are food insecure today.

>In any case, why do you think the Soviets jammed western TV signals?

Soviet Russia could access BBC, Voice of America, German TV. Today Americans are not permitted to hear what Russians are saying. The US today has imposed constraints on access to info beyond Soviets.

>People in the US don't worry about being sent to the gulag slave labor camps.

US today has highest rate of incarceration in the world and holds 20% of world's prison population despite accounting for only 4% of overall population. This is higher rate of incarceration than USSR had even under Stalin! Modern US gulag system is far more horrific than anything USSR has ever done.

Furthermore, US uses prisons as literal slave labour which is a large part of US economy. There are also volumes of books written on how US systemically imprisons minorities.
No, Japan makes stuff.
Sure but we then need to acknowledge that the root cause is the level of the human population on this planet.

I don't think we should get to sustainability by in effect keeping people poor and restricting what they are allowed to consume. Rather we should get to a sustainable number of human beings allowed to be free, to travel, to have a good life.

You absolutely, 100% had to "choose a server" for your email.

This is 100% analogous, except Mastodon also makes it nearly trivial to change your server, with no effort taken by anyone who is already communicating with you. It's literally easier than an email server migration.
