Yes... with qualifications.

I saw the dot com crash up close (wasn't laid off, but I saw the people who were recently laid off in the local pub with a pager that wasn't buzzing next to a pint glass... or the guy with a masters working the late shift at Blockbuster). When the housing crash came with its recession and layoffs, I was part of that.

If I had done a "I want to keep living in SF and maintain my big tech standard of living in an expensive city" it would have been difficult since there were thousands of other people who had that same idea.

Instead I moved to the midwest and got a job working in the tech department of a retail company. I did not have too much difficulty finding that job.

I've since switched to public sector and that job was not hard to get either (and for those who have applied, we've hired every competent dev who has shown up in the stacks of resumes - as this is public sector, not many apply).

There are a lot of jobs out there. Pull up https://careers.walmart.com and go to 'technology' and follow it from there. Hundreds of open positions.

If one moves away from expecting that the median job is the big tech job in SF or one that they can get remote... there are a lot of jobs out there.

However, from many that I've see on tech career sites, the mere thinking of getting a job at Wallmart is beneath them. That SRE with 1k k8s clusters? https://careers.mcdonalds.com/global-corporate/jobs/40600010... or https://careers-chickfila.icims.com/jobs/12125/lead-site-rel...

RethinkX addresses variability in their full energy-related report (see part 2): https://static1.squarespace.com/static/585c3439be65942f022bb...
FWIW, "regular" engineering courses aren't that great at teaching the skill of engineering either. You learn tons of theory, but little that is actually practical (outside of labs and capstone projects).

Traditionally graduates learn actual engineering on the job by being given simple projects and asking for help when they get stuck. Better companies will have a standardized way of doing this, but I haven't seen a lot of variation on this theme.

In fact, come to think of it, that's pretty much what I did with the intern I had last summer. "Here's a task in Jira to add this feature. This is the area of the code you'll need to understand in order to do it. Contact me if you need help or let me know when you're done and I'll review it." He did very well!
That's pretty cool! Love the design.
To me the source of the apple matters a lot more than the breed itself. Put another way: there is a high variance in the quality of apples independent of the breed.

The absolute best apples I've ever had were pick-ur-own at a well-regarded apple orchard in Connecticut. I believe they are McIntosh although it could also be macoun. Every apple is crisp (not mealy), sweet and tart, with a thin skin and lots of flesh.

The big disappointment for me was moving to california, in an area without pick-your-own. How do I put it? The vast majority of apples in supermarkets here are abysmal. The granny smiths were often mealy and not tart at all! It wasn't until I went to a boutique grocery (Monterey Market in Berkeley) that I finally tasted apples in the same category as the ones I grew up with.

Reading the descriptions on this site, I don't really recognize their descriptions. Mcintosh has a thick skin? Ummmm.
Tether prints tokens in exchange for money. Them disappearing means they took the money and abandoned their magic bean IOUs.
This has been an ongoing issue, essentially people unusually dedicated to ruining the game run multiple Linux VMs with bots. Valve has recently done a bit to improve things after a community "save tf2" campaign, but it's a bit of a whack a mole situation. Practically joining a custom server with a moderator of some kind is the most effective option.
Awesome link! Though I think the reviewer has a bias against crunch and skin flavor. (I don't understand how the Smitten ranks so low.)
Yep, in those cases, bitcoin is having to rely on traditional payment systems to even marginally compete with traditional payment systems.
Yeah, people using all kinds of fancy hardware is kind of bad for me, since I generally play with a gamepad, cheap LCD tv as a monitor, and the sound turned off since everyone else is in bed (which means I can't tell if someone is walking behind me). It's hard to win super often when it's just a test of who can aim quicker, I usually have a K/D of 1/3 or something like that. Which, I don't care too much, but sometimes you get people swearing at you which is so juvenile.

Turning mining back on is entirely changing the parent's statement.

"Well yea you could do that change to tank the value, but imagine if you just undid it huh???"

The point was without mining entirely, there is no value
or maybe they could have just said, 32-bit programs will be slower...

Technical debt is when people make a mess, its perfectly possible to clean that mess without breaking ABIs. Particularly in OS's where the ABIs tend to be decoupled from the underlying code by abstraction layers. For example you can swap the filesystem in use and still maintain the behavior. Linux's syscall ABI has been basically static for decades, its only the userspace layers that don't try and adhear to those levels of compatibility.

PS: We like to give apple all this credit for having a "fast" machine, but the real question should be, if it can't solve the problem I have, does it matter how fast it is? Mac's for the vast majority of the people I see using them are basically trendy chromebooks, where the users are spending 99% of their time in safari. So its probably a good choice for apple if that is the user base they are interested in.
You are underestimating the creative products that the finance world can create from any asset, real or imaginary.
Depends where you live. Most developed countries are moving away from cash. Some already have.
It doesn't seem to address the big issues (where do we get the people that will install things? how do we make sure one property owner or one frog can't cancel giant programs? how do we increase bureaucratic efficiency in permits?) and feels vague and clickbait-y.

"You can do everything if you believe in yourself", isn't that useful.
Safe Rust prevents access to uninitialised memory, so a pattern like:

buf = malloc(size)
init(buf)

is too risky, because init could read the uninitialized memory or fail to overwrite all of it causing a heartbleed-like leak elsewhere (most programmers may think it's just garbage bytes who cares — Rust cares.)

Rust's safe abstraction for initialization and heap allocation instead passes structs by value (you can't misuse a buffer pointer if it doesn't exist), and relies on the optimizer to remove all unnecessary copies. The optimizer doesn't always do that, which is what this site tries to measure and fix.
I find this a useful framework for thinking about busy-ness. I'm someone who skews towards feeling over-responsible for things, has a hard time saying 'No', etc. Comments here are making me realize that not everyone is like this and that maybe a better workload balance is possible. Does anyone have suggestions for books, articles, etc that have helped you improve your workload management and set boundaries regarding projects, ask for help when you're overloaded, etc? I often feel like I'm just at the mercy of what is put on my plate by other people.
OK, color me impressed. I knew a few years back that this was going to be possible and easy a few years down the road, but didn't realize we were there yet. Amazing
Show HN: Flowchart-based planning tool to see the big picture (miro and asana)
Hey HN,

My dad, friend, and I have been working hard on building Twigflo, a flowchart-based project planning tool to help teams visualize their projects using the concept reverse planning.

When I was a data consultant, I struggled keeping my team and clients aligned to a specific goal. Spreadsheets or equivalent tracking tools did a good job showing what to do but didn't explain why we were doing it and where we were going.

So, like many of us here, we invested the time into building our own tool.

We tried to make Twiglfo as goal-oriented and BIG PICTURE as possible. You and your team can set a goal and define how you get there. The key thing is everything you put on the canvas has to lead to the goal itself. If it cant be tied to the goal, no need to do it.

We've had some early users (not friends or family) call this their preferred method of visualizing and communicating the big picture. You can easily see bottlenecks, dependencies, what can be done in parallel, etc. It takes visual concepts from tools like Miro and task management aspects of tools like Asana.

We believe its best place in your current workflow is before work gets started and when the need for alignment is most important.

There are still clear areas where we can improve the experience but if these resonate with you, then give Twigflo a try.

It's free to sign up. If you do, we currently only support desktop.

Let me know if you have any feedback or questions!

They're using Eleventy and Netlify, those are not HTML either; Eleventy implies they start with markdown too I think?

I'll forgive them image formats and the .js file for Twitter. But, they follow up with a heap of "lets use tables for design" examples, always hated that ... I'm nope-ing pretty hard there.

I started writing HTML in the 90s using Pico, my roots are purist, but no, not really ... you need styles for a11y, you want styles for user comfort and engagement, even minimal things like favicons and svg. We've come a long way, yes, bloated messes like Sharepoint spews out are abysmal, but to make a website that meets any reasonable standards ... you need more than just HTML in this dinosaur's opinion.
Perhaps, but the prices are far far higher than would be justified by any increase in quality. And I'm not just talking about $5000 Densuke watermelons. Even a mango can be 3 or 4 times the price I'm used to paying in Aus.

They won't use batteries (in the sense of Lithium batteries). They will use other storage technologies that trade off the round-trip efficiency and density of Lithium batteries for much lower cost per unit storage. There are a number of serious contenders, including metal-air and compressed gas, and also direct heat storage.

Kind of useless considering that we'll have fusion reactors within the next 5 years or so.
"Batteries" is not an energy source.
Ah... the internet is still alive in bits and pieces! I know where I will be spending some time this weekend.

I actually want to get a custom APL keyboard, mostly for the cool factor, but it turns out they’re kind of pricey.
Yeah, I'm not looking for friends, just civil players.

When I've played I've turned off comms, but kind of hard to ignore the aim bots and chat if you're at least trying to work with your team.
Second this about tactics over reactions. I play mainly Cs:go and it's far easier to win a fire fight when the other player isn't looking at you :)
I think this is the case in terms of longevity and convenience. Pages are saved in HTML. As long as you have a software that can read this type of files, you'll be able to view your saved pages.
This, tbh.

In my area the ATT only provides internet that runs 18 mbps maximum. Its infuriating when I am browsing a javascript-heavy website at peak hours and it takes forever to load. I don't think HTML-only is necessarily a good idea, but less javascript for basic things that HTML does well anyway is certainly welcome.
Note that this article says could not will, so I’ll answer a related question of yours that better reflects the article:

> How could they deal with variability of all these renewables?

I’m guessing a mix of pumped hydro, purchased hydro and nuclear, home storage, robust grid, increased energy efficiency, smarter usage periods for heavy users such as industry or EV charging, etc. And then there is emerging technologies such as on-site carbon capturing of natural gas power plants, liquid metal/molten salt batteries capable of robust large scale grid storage, etc.

Solutions do exist, and no one of them will solve it for all, but together they will.
Or perhaps the "climate crisis" is bordering on pseudoscience. It's not even a falsifiable theory. Narrowly focusing on a "climate crisis" is doing demonstrable harm to our environment. Just look at how many actual environmental polluters are lining up to join the climate bandwagon. Actual polluters are using the cover of "climate crisis" to greenwash their pollution, not even mentioning the glaring hypocrisy of some polluters being allowed for purely political reasons.

So yeah feel free to keep trying to gatekeep legitimate conversations. Just don't pout when these conversations continue to be had whether you like them or not.

Eh... how?

Can anybody describe a single credible threatening scenario, even hypothetically?
Not now but at other workplaces. I was at one that had an all hands meeting every 2 weeks, the issue came up that “we can’t find anything”, the solution was “let’s add a new place to hide documents.” I tried to bring up the nonsensical nature of this, but people never wised up. Having ‘one ring to organize them all’ is a more promising solution but isn’t this an existential risk to the google docs, notions, confluences, etc?
No, as the first sentence of the article explains this is removing all fossil sources from electricity by 2030, and all fossil fuels by 2035 they are talking about.

> Germany can shift its entire electricity system onto solar, wind and batteries by 2030 for less than 1% of its GDP. And the country’s entire energy system can go 100% clean energy by 2035 for less than what it spends on fossil fuels.
I don't know if the author is talking to professionals who implement javascript sites at work or hobbyists with a simple blog page. In the first case, she has no data points to quantify how javascript adoption generates revenue for the company vs simple bland html pages (with more logic on the server side). In the second case, she has no business in what people implement in their spare time to learn new technologies or just unwind. In both cases, I don't really understand these kind of articles.
I think the reason the pendulum swings back is more mundane: reduced availability of capital. Companies that survive must "do more with less" and will no longer be paying out the ear for a SaaS that barely gets the job done.

Most SaaS will go out of business. Dev cycles will shift proportionally to working more on enterprise systems and the open standards that support them.
American government is worried about the Chinese government acting against it.

I'm not aware of any concrete threats from China currently, but seeing as a conflict is brewing slowly(over Taiwan) I understand why the American government wants to limit this specific activity.
I can’t think of anything else that China is attempting to restrict that the rest of the developed world is open to.

Edit: perhaps need a /s tag here.

>Red Delicious are famously reviled, and for good reason

Famously reviled by whom? Could this be selection bias at play? I personally have never met a real-world person who disliked them as singularly as Internet hipsters do. Opinions range from "my fav" to "not my fav".

>You're allowed to be that one person that them

Ah, I've got my work cut out for me*, visiting every single grocery store and buying up their most abundant supply of apples. Surely they cannot be ordering them due to popularity.

"Largest EU economy" - Why not just say Germany?
Pricing? Telemetry? Mac first?

Nope
To me your feedback doesn't seem fair and not thought out well though. Notes/Calendar/Todo apps will evolve forever, there is no one size fits all and there won't ever be.
That's not what I mean at all, but I can see how you might arrive at that misunderstanding.

No, what I mean is that anyone can make new coins in 5 minutes to commemorate their favorite meme. There's a very large number of these coins and almost all of them are already valued at zero. So now you can go around saying "most tokens value will drop to zero", which is factually true because they already are at zero, and never were worth much of anything, and nobody traded them. So what?

If you take a typical crypto hodler, most of the value in their portfolio is in tokens like Bitcoin or Ether, and very little value is in meowcatcoin or shibadibacoin. Bitcoin and Ether will not go to zero.
It's quite simple depending on what "EU economy" becomes in 2035.

(Hopefully that isn't what the article authors really meant.)

The NYT often has an editorial bent which makes them write flatly false articles. It's been rather odd, and a clear point of divergence from other US newspapers.

For example, the NYT was very pro the Iraq USD argument

More recently, they kept going on about Clinton's emails, while ignoring much larger security breaches from Trump's side

More recently than that, they kept saying coronavirus reinfections would be impossible

They also have been producing an endless string of anti-tech articles, but pro-crypto articles

In each case they had some clear editorial directive: "Bush good", "Clinton emails bad", "Coronavirus immunity persists (whether natural or vax)" "tech bad" "SBF good, crypto exciting"

You might agree or disagree with these positions and so that effects your reading of what I'm writing. But the point is they had an inflexible position on these issues. By contrast, a paper like the FT or the WSJ or the Washington Post generally tends not to have a monolithic party line on the points above, and would reports points on the issues above with nuance, mentioning evidence in favour or against the positions as it came out.

NYT does have some great articles but they're utterly unreliable if you don't have enough background knowledge of an issue to parse their party line.
> It's not possible for the value of gold to go to zero

The price might go to zero, though. The price of oil, which is arguably more useful than gold, went negative a couple of years back. Having intrinsic value doesn't necessarily mean it is exchangeable, especially if it needs to be exchanged at a given moment in time.

I think the improvements to accessibility are generally accepted to be true in the industry to a degree that metrics aren't needed to back up the claim every time it's discussed. Can you get the same degree of accessibility with javascript? Sure; it just requires a lot more work.

Well-known? French nuclear reactors are doing load following every day.

What nuclear energy is bad at is as a backup for renewable energy when there is no wind. Because nuclear costs the same whether you use it or not, so you pay for an energy source you don't use most of the time so that you can use wind instead. If you use nuclear, scrap wind.
Fusion has been 5 years away for 50 years now, I think that was the joke.

There is not a universe that exists where I would give an unsigned, non-reproducibly-built, proprietary third party binary control of the terminal I use to access code and systems of my clients, or send a third party any data about them. It would be negligent on my part.

Also most of the capable sysadmins and CLI junkies that I know use Linux. Not supporting that first is a strange choice.

As cool as this idea is, I feel the only way I could ever responsibly have it is by ripping it off and actually making it open and available to all platforms.
When Mars was a young planet, it was bombarded by icy asteroids that delivered water and organic chemistry necessary for life to emerge. According to the professor behind a new study, this means that the first life in our solar system may have been on Mars.

I play a lot of Rust and I'm 51. I do ok! One of the interesting things I found when playing FPS games on Roblox with my 11 year old is that a lot of players don't know how to do the "Dance" so are always looking the wrong way in close encounters. Which just comes down to practice.
Full of hot air and day dreams.

As if more over capacity will make the battery problem smaller.

It will cost enormous, the plan compares to the current enormous unaffordable price levels and then even cost much more.

Also it will depend on Chinese made goods. The needed battery capacity is not ever done before and the production capacity is not available in the market.

This is pure fiction, we need to focus on fixes that keep Europe running this winter and next winter. So that not all industries going to go broke.

We need more gas and oil fast. This will need investments. Lots of investment. Not useless day dreams of ideologues.
Well, actually more than half of them do not work (at least when it‘s warm. Or cold.)

So Germany had to help out France with energy mostly this year.
