I'm at the stage now where if a company required me in the office, the surcharge I'd be asking on top of my wage (30% would do it) would be so hilarious that it would be insulting, but in my mind, that's kinda the point.
Different people think different things.
That's a hilarious expectation. How often do you give attribution to inventors of patterns you use in your software?
May I suggest we don't talk so much about Musk. It makes him feel relevant.
I personally like AppImage best of the "non-native" app package formats, but ideally you could set up one of the native package build CI pipelines somewhere and automagically build native distro packages from your source tree for the most common three or four native package formats and let the community build more "esoteric" packages for themselves from those possibly?

Is this some sort of comment on the goings-on at Twitter?
;-)
Being intentionally daft goes against HN guidelines. That's not what I said, you know that's not what I said, yet you strawmaned my comment anyways.
Yeah. We used to store PowerDesigner files in git a while back, which are XMLs usually smaller than 100 MB, and that was pretty much a disaster of hour taking clones already. I can't imagine 700 MB working.
I remember this from reading A Series of Unfortunate Events
Somewhat. They're an excuse for corporations to cut people they don't really want and to shift their spending posture to austerity.
What is the definition of Productive here?

Is it lines of code or reasoning about lines which lines of code to write/adjust and everything else is not?

My definition would encompass all of the stuff you mentioned as ancillary. In some cases, it's even more Productive than the actual code writing.

non naive suggestion: new nation scale govt structure should be discussed and tried.

hybrid patterns, seasonal structures, whatever

There are lots of low hanging fruits, which is good because it means space for progress but govt are extremely good at diluting any improvement efforts. Yet most people want higher efficiency / sanity governments.

When I was that age in the early 00's, my father set me up with an emulated Tandy Color Computer 2. He figured that he had learned on it, so why not his son. Later on he bought me a real one (and some cassette tapes that he had used with his. They still worked).

There is a real magic, interacting with a computer like that. It had almost no functionality outside of what I could program on it. It had simple graphics, sound, and tons of hidden functionality that was just a POKE away. (For instance POKE 65495,0 would increase the clock speed).

Going from BASIC to my first "real" programing language was a mind bend. It took a lot of experimentation for me to wrap my mind around variable scoping.
JS is single threaded, but does a browser use that same thread for rendering, animations, web workers, network etc.? How much front end JS code is intensely computational vs. simply spending most of its time waiting on a callback?

Genuine question - I might see if I can find out next time I have to do a performance profiling in Chrome!
You're both doing incredible work. It's heart breaking losing a dog, it's raw for me now currently I'm still in the crying-almost-daily stage.

Not too dissimilar to me, though I don't often go breed specific but age. I've foster failed a few dogs in the last 6-7 years. I lost my recent foster fail Buster on the 2nd of November and I only got him back from the crematorium yesterday.

It's been a rough few weeks, this home has only ever been a home with Buster in it and it's been dreadfully empty with his passing. I cry every day I see something that reminds me of him.

Baby gates that stop him going up and down stairs because of his arthritis. His dog beds in each room which he would follow us when my partner and I worked from home. Food bowls. His blankets to keep him old bones warm. Coming home or getting out of bed and him not being there to howl at me. It's truly dreadful.

Buster was 14.5 years old when he passed and was 12 yo when I adopted him. I didn't believe his age when I adopted him. He was a Husky X Boxer so I could only imagine what he was like as a puppy considering his appetite for movement at 12 yo when he was effectively 100+ in human years.

Some pictures of Buster: https://imgur.com/gallery/WtLy4ZN/comment/2279131045

I want to wait a while before fostering or adopting again but... I'm getting warn down by all the dogs that are needing a home from the groups I volunteer and donate to. I'm doom scrolling dogs in need daily.
The corporate structure chart at the end is rather stunning.
He's using software. The keyboard he is playing isn't the sound you're hearing. In the description he says he's using pianoteq. He also explains the process of changing from 12 tones in the description.

Is any serious money going into optimizing Linux battery life on laptops? Not that I know of. Since there's no money in Linux laptops as compared to Windows laptops, why is this surprising?

I find it much more damming that Apple smokes Windows in battery life even despite Microsoft having its own line of laptops (Surface) and having the money to pour into it vs Linux.
The value-add model is interesting. How would you characterize:

2. Doing investigation/documentation of RCA for an incident

3. Spec reviews with stakeholders who will have to use the product
Disclaimer: these are anecdotal reports.
I've heard from a lot of my friends how abysmal the quality of code is at Meta. Obviously, this may not be true in all teams/products, but that's the general sentiment. Why make it faster when you're already dealing with mess! This is abundantly evident from the constant fire fighting, duct tapes and a metric driven culture that incentivizes the number of diffs landed.

Prices will come down with volume and scale, and we do sell more than shirts, we have jackets, flannels, hoodies, and shirts. Planning on adding more in the future as well. The 12.00 is pigment dyed, meaning the color will last longer and is more resistant to fading. We are coming out with a 6.00 shirt very soon, at 3.50 we found that the quality gets too low, almost like that of an undershirt, but in the future our prices will only get cheaper

We're experimenting with this, 2 options:
1. No membership, but higher prices (we may try this in the near future)

2. Membership with ultra low prices on clothing

With option 2 you actually end up saving more in the long run and its the same result.

Membership helps to run the business while passing all the cost savings to you, that's the main idea about this business model, but definitely open to experimentation.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it!
It's a common approach in language design to require this though. Rust has made very similar design choices due to its (current) lack of stable ABIs. IIRC some hash of the compiler version is included in built libraries and prevents accidental linking. You need to rebuild the world for every toolchain upgrade.
Then please provide supporting arguments as I have done.

No, DE doesn't mean I have a dumb console. It just means it's a bit lighter. I have all services a modern desktop has, I still run X plus a window manager.

Sadly I don't think we are there yet. Some electrical generation is cheaper with renewables. But that only helps with electricity. What about aviation, or construction? We've waited for 50 years for someone else to solve this at no cost to us. We'll wait another 5000 and all drown in floods at this rate.

You might even say it's Biblical.
That's certainly funny, given the gusto with which many PDs emulate military structure and behavior. The one thing they could really stand to learn from the military? Nah, we're good, they say.
I've always felt a bit like an alien from outer space when trying to understand the work habits of modern humans. It seems we spend enough time doing what we think we have to do to survive that it feels like the only thing we actually do. Everything else in our life feels secondary. I'm not sure this is even normal in nature. Seems like a lot of animals spend much of their time just sort of hanging out. Does it honestly take so much time to cover your bases? I think not.

It feels as though the modern 9-5 lifestyle is a lie that no one questions. I just can't get behind it as long as I feel like our society doesn't actually require that much constant effort to maintain or even to keep pointed in the right direction.
This looks interesting but I would really stop calling yourself the costco of apparel, that's a good way to get sued.
There is nothing on your site to determine how you have defined "high quality clothes"?

I am a South African. We have lived through some of the most draconian Orwellian autocratic measures in the world. Furthermore, our journey to democracy has not been smooth - the last 10 years were marred by massive corruption.

Through all of this, our constitutional rights to freedom of expression, and freedom of press, has stayed sound. We have had multiple instances where journalists reported on some nefarious action and were intimidated or even legally threatened by authorities. However, our courts have, for the most part, sided with our freedom of expression and press rights. The South African government has had quite a couple of punches on the nose in our courts ;-).

I have read most of the comments in this thread. I think I understand most of the viewpoints, and I always try and have an open mind. I am also not an American citizen. However, like every Earth citizen I have a keen interest (possibly forced...) on USA issues. "If America sneeze the world catches a cold".

This is clearly a very contentious topic, and I will reply with some specific thoughts on specific comments. I just wanted to give the perspective of a citizen in a country where this is a serious history of government abuse. We cannot take these things likely. Now that I think about it, I think the Germans feel the same way (living through the Gestapo and Stasi years could not have been fun....).
That's not regulating the production of steel, but adding a tariff on an industry. You could obviously block someone from selling in your country, but that doesn't mean you have the right to regulate them.

Just like you could block a website within your country. That said, you can't force them to adhere to anything.

Put a different way, if I run a news paper in Russia, sure you can block the distribution in the EU. The EU cannot tell the news paper what to publish.

>I respectfully think it's unreasonable given that the world isn't aligned on your views, and as such there is competitive struggle between countries.

The argument here is essentially security through obscurity. If our countries defense is ultimately reliant on some info/tech never leaking then our military has failed us.

Our systems should be so strong, so robust that even if an enemy had the damn bluprints and operational knowledge it would still be foolish to attack us.

Here's an example, the navy has some really cool tech involving highly precise measurements of gravity vs known gravitational maps of the earth so that subs can navigate underwater without GPS. I don't expect the government to publish exactly how it works on some fancy nuclear submarine, but all the research and knowledge gained during R7D should be publicly available.
I'm quite aware of how it works, but I guess it was too much to expect a good faith response. That 200GWh that is 'lost' is dispatchable energy that recharges after a few months, after it is dispatched, about ~240GWh can be cycled and another 100GWh can be dispatched. The 40GWh is only a limit in precisely those cases where the dispatchable energy isn't being utilised

The 240 and 40 are also a lowball because parts of the losses were already accounted for at the beginning. That part is the double count.

A philanthropist is an anti-hero at best.

Bill Gates gets a tax writeoff for putting his money in a foundation that he controls, depriving the US government (accountable to its people) of funding. His foundation sponsors activities in Africa, bypassing corrupt governments but also propping them up. Africans have no input into what his foundation does for them, their economies don’t develop, their governments don’t develop the ability to raise tax revenue and deliver services they want in an accountable way.

Am I reading this right? If the total median time in review is “a few hours”, that means that people are dropping what they’re doing to review the code. That can’t really be a good code review? A context switch alone would be half of that time for me.

Mined, from the earth. Unlike lithium [1] uranium prices are not experiencing cost overruns. And unlike grid storage, nuclear power already makes up 10% of the world's electricity generation. We only need an 8x increase (another 10% of electricity already comes from hydro) instead of a 1000x increase like we do with grid storage. The thing about nuclear energy is that there's so much energy contained in uranium that more exotic forms of extraction like seawater absorption [2] is feasible. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of lithium. Some estimates predict that lithium reserves may be exhausted by EV production alone [3]. The volume of lithium required for batteries is considerably greater than the amount of uranium needed for fission, which makes seawater extraction non-viable.

The problem is, all those people supporting Copilot in this thread can actually write said code without Copilot's help. Namely, they know what they're doing and the tool just saves them some typing.

What happens when this extends to the "specialists" that blindly copy code off Stack Overflow? What happens when this becomes part of learning to program? Will it be as useful for producing working, efficient code when used by people who don't know what they're doing?
Have a look at https://teuxdeux.com. It's similarly laconic as Tweek, and the default view is "now and the next few days".

Here's a great read about corruption https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/01/19/corruption-rev... , it's a review of the book "Thieves of State", but it also has a lot of amazing insight about corruption around the world, and how it undermines public trust and even makes the fight against terrorism harder.

That's excellent, I do use Singlefile as well but Zotero offer the database/citation functionality on top. Brilliant extension though, after ublock it's probably number 2 install for me.
But also at a certain point adding another choice that’s barely different from the last one leads to decision fatigue and ends up propping up the status quo. If you asked me which bespoke calendar app was right for you I’d have no idea and probably just suggest gcal.
Wasn't sure about the peg to a soft drink but the whitepaper sold me.
Thanks for the candor comment. Here's how I think about it:

I'm arguing for the individual to buy into a new philosophy. One of not being busy. Modern busyness is a construct we accept out of fear. Fear of getting fired, fear of missing out, fear of being passed over for a promotion.

Most of the things we think we need to do, we don't need to do at all. Constant context switching and divided focus is not a thing humans do well at. I think we've misunderstood the power of mono-tasking.

There's a great paradox in it all. The less busy we are, the more we can accomplish. Maybe others have noticed similar phenomena.

It's really unlikely (imo impossible) you'll forget what a symbol means in APL or K etc if you program in it reasonably often. There aren't many symbols, and most of them are used pretty frequently. If you do forget, there's plenty of resources to jog your memory though. The Dyalog RIDE has a language bar at the top, and hovering over a symbol gives a brief description with examples. https://janiczek.github.io/tryapl-elm/ replicates this if you want to see for yourself. I disagree that it's easier to recognise words than symbols if there are small differences, the symbols are distinctive anyway so that's not really a real problem.
Honestly you need to prove that you can even sell the clothes before you change membership. I don’t see any clear path for you to establish that the clothes are worth buying before you lock them off behind a subscription
there’s so many low hanging fruits for improving the quality of diff viewing. The worst code reviews are often the ones where code get refactored, leading to piles of delete / create lines that are just code being moved or slightly renamed.

One very simple approach would be better git integration with the IDE, helping build commit that make sense, where a set of changes could easily be commented by the author as they’re performing the edits, then keep improving from there.
You really need to show your catalog without having to buy a membership and make shipping clear. I am interested but I am not paying 70 dollars US to have a look. Having a dual pricing option is a good idea. That way I can buy some samples at the higher price and then switch to the membership if it seems worthwhile.
AFAIK, rendering and animations are on the same thread as JS.

web workers have their own thread, but I think adoption is low.

Network requests are async (JS doesn't have to wait for the network request for it to do other things), but JS can still only start one network request at a time.
