In case of code, isn't it basically the same?

I mean, i spent 20 months working on a project for a bank recently. I had a lot of salient code at the beginning, fun little algorithms and cool regex.

The last iteration of the code i committed, the salient part was basically a lisp interpreter (if lisp was formatted like json), but everything else was plain and boring. The last issue i had is that the ES version was upgraded and the python library i used to connect to ES was version locked, and did not work.

I think that for the next 4 years, this will be the only type of modifications my SRE ex-collegue who now own the code will make. Still, it can take days.
> without requiring a server from Tailscale

AFAICT, Tailscale does not route your traffic through its servers (because it would be costly, among other things), but it does control your VPN nodes to distribute all the configuration fairy dust. So a server from Tailscale is still needed (and billed for).

I had an older HP laptop where disabling their sound DSP (by Beats) also set the equalizer to min bass / max treble so you would say "wow, this Beats thing is so great".
Would this answer suffice?
No, people are people, no, maybe, maybe?

In my mind, this would be a stupid answer to a question that requires introspection and maybe also take time to explain why I think what I think and potentially, other beliefs that could be impacted by making a stand on this view.

Technical discussions are similar - you want to explain why you think it is so.. After all, if the question were so simple as to have a very simple answer, why would you ask it in the first place? You also want to point out other things that can be impacted by the answer or by each of the decision arms. Sometime, lack of clarity also comes from unstated assumptions of what you know and what others think you know.. but if someone makes that assumption, you are going to say they are not directly addressing the point.

I think it would help in thinking conversation is a 2-way street... you provide appropriate noises and feedback to get what you want, while listening to answers.
Not a physicist but that's how I understand it, anywhere you go in the visible universe should have a perspective that looks more or less just like ours, as if they were at the center. We can only see so far though, so someone a billion light years from here would have a visible universe that overlaps with ours like a Venn diagram, but would be seeing things we can't. Who knows, maybe there's something really interesting they could see that we cannot, like an edge of the actual universe with nothing beyond?
Yep, No. On chain you can't have "insiders secretly siphoning off funds for their own trading".

Hacking is a different issue (comparable to, lets say MtGox).
Someone could easily see that if you have an actual reimbursement system in place.

If it's based on the honor system, I could claim the train ticket, then claim a bus ticket and say that the ticket was for something else, you were mistaken. Then claim mileage and say the bus ticket wasn't that trip, you made a mistake. Again, just like the train ticket.

So, yes, the claim needs to be backed by proof of trip or by a deliberate action on your part saying that you are claiming this right here on this date for this trip.

That is mixing up quite a few different things. World Calendar [1] was proposed in League of Nations/United Nations, but it was created by US person. There was slightly earlier proposal, International Fixed Calendar[2] from British person that also had some popularity. Neither of these were decimal calendars though, that is something from French revolution [3], and even they did not really manage to make it very decimal.

Afaik the most vocal opposition to reforms came from the US

a person who holds free speech absolutism as a value, trying to navigate a compromise with advertisers is a far sight better than a person who does not believe in free speech.

It is not true that what twitter was doing was already the inevitable perfect compromise, or that advertisers were demanding that the sitting POTUS be banned even though SCOTUS had ruled people had a right to interact with him on twitter.

No. You’d need to actually change all the calendars. for example, an event recorded as happening at UTC 0 doesn’t get changed by a time zone change. And yet the hour you’ve accumulated is a “real” hour that’s accumulated in the number of seconds you think has elapsed since 0. You could of course keep track of when those leap seconds applied but now you have to have an almanac to compute the difference between two time stamps to account for all the smearing.
A staff software engineer wouldn’t be showing impact writing code. When I was a senior developer at a much smaller company when I was responsible for the overall direction of the infrastructure and processes, I would spend weeks with little code under my own name while working with other developers, customers, being the tech person on pre-sales calls, etc.

Something like that happened to me. I'd written a fairly widely distributed benchmark program back around 2000. One day one of my employer's salespeople showed me a report distributed by a competitor containing my benchmark - with my name and employer replaced by some competitor rando. I contacted legal but it never went anywhere.
I don't know much about how hiring works at Amazon, but for most employers, at this point you should just forget about it and move on. Two emails in a week is at the very edge of crossing into pushy or desperate.

Of course there are also the layoffs, which you mentioned, and next week is a holiday in the U.S. which means hiring will slow down generally.

I disagree, he was undoubtedly buying connections and influence, and a lot of the SEC/CFTC/Gensler stuff reeks of corruption, but I don't think he's been around long enough or acquired enough influence to stop heads from rolling.

My money is on him and maybe a few others eventually serving a few years. He'll then try to restore his image and start a new business with a promise of extreme transparency and altruistic purpose, but this time "with adult supervision". I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Sequoia invests in him again.
It wouldn't take the average (average, not great) general long to figure out that the enemy knows all their plans in advance if they don't take action to obscure that. A few times the worst possible counter is just bad luck, but only a few times and you know there is a leak. You might not know if it is a spy or your communications is monitored, but you can make a good guess that they know things they shouldn't.
Pardon my ignorance, but why would used car prices necessarily impact a used car dealer? Surely these dealers have to pay more to buy these cars and so their margins should be unchanged? Or is the issue that they are buying used cars and prices are falling so fast that their margins are shrinking?
I did two tranches of consultancy at the BBC.

One, I fixed all of that team's problems but because I swore a lot under my breath about their existing code while I was doing so that team decided to be offended and made a decision to never invite me back (note, I quite possibly deserved that reaction, I'm still a blunt bastard but in those days I had the social skills of a thermonuclear device even as compared to now.)

Two, I helped fix the iPlayer 2.0 rollout by spending two days teaching them how to DBIx::Class better and then spent the third day ripping through their code (with the team's encouragement) and managed to save the "show all programs of the same series" feature by breaking (with the PMs and the team's encouragement) its ability to be correct down to the hour across daylight saving time changes by replacing DateTime with Date::Calc.

Damn good fun, and some of the most satisfying in the "I have earned what you paid for this and it makes me happy" days of my career.

I think the only days of work I've enjoyed more were the time I spent two days diagnosing a problem with an NHS cancer lab sample tracking system that turned out to be a weird interaction between three different bugs in various things.

Note: If you were a shadowcat.co.uk customer at the time and were one of the people to whom I said "sorry about this but this is a cancer lab, my previous commitments to deadlines are dead until I get this fixed" and replied with "well, yeah, of course they are, we knew who you were when we hired you, good luck", I love you all.

The concept is great. But the volatility in the used car market has been historically unprecedented, and there's no easy way for them to hedge this.

As an FYI, I sold a car this spring for 8% over what I paid for it 6 years prior, i.e. it was worth about 85% of orig price adjusted for inflation.
Today, edmunds appraises it for 45% of orig price adjusted for inflation.

That is an insane move on a durable asset.

The webpage is the simplest part of the business. They need drivers to pick up and deliver cars from every address in the nation. They have a fleet of hundreds of custom car-hauling trucks to maintain. They inspect, appraise, repair, detail and take 3D photographs of half a million cars a year -- that's thousands of mechanics, detailers, photographers. They deal with vehicle registration, state inspections and titling in 50 different states and all the 3000+ counties within. At any given time they have 50-100K vehicles all around the country to track, with lots of them in motion at any given time, a big 24/7 logistics and regulatory problem.
Except this doesn't prove the point asked. I can literally write your second example and in fact, I will; I hereby order whatever shadowy figures monitor all internet communications to kick zamalek off of the internet. There; has that in any way impacted your ability to respond to me? Has my speech at all affected yours? The thing you're actually against is the execution of an action, killing or hanging or whatever else. The basic right of freedom of speech is not that. This equivocation between speech and action, this insistence that speech itself is fundamentally harmful and must be controlled, censored, and limited, is pretty fundamentally undemocratic in ways that most actual authoritarians who rose to power in the past century would be quite familiar with.

The Republican party is moving us towards Facism.

You are complaining about woke culture but that's something people do. What laws have Democrats proposed that has to do with being "woke". Let me ask that in another way. How does voting for Republicans change woke culture?

The election deniers are being supported by the Republican party,including financially. They could kick them out at anytime. It's a two way relationship, a person has to be a republican and they must accept that person. By allowing people like MGT to be in the party it's a tacit approval of their views

As for free speech , the Republican party had put into law multiple restrictions on freedom of speech in the last four years, give me an example of one law the Democrats created that restricted speech?

"Can we do _________?" is the worst question to ask me as an engineer. Like, yes, we probably _can_ do literally almost anything, with enough hours and money. But what's the budget? What really is _______?

Eg: If it's "analytics to a page", what do we want to track? Where does the data go? How do people view the data? I need to know the answer to those questions, plus the "budget", before even entertaining a yes or no answer. Which I think sounds like I'm beating around the bush by asking, but I'm not! :)

Any thread criticizing China on HN is full of logical fallacy, whataboutism, and other similar bad faith arguments that gum up the discussion.

Contrarianism runs rampant on HN and is easily weaponized by bad actors.
Slightly unrelated to Parent:

I struggle very hard creating my own interfaces for my own programs. I haven't found any literature online teaching the _right way_ of coming up with your interface.

For example, I very often struggle with function parameters and return types: should my interface functions only take basic type and return basic types? Can my interface function take more concrete types? Should my interface function take interface types?

I'd love to be directed to a guide on how to create a good interface.

As an example, here's a recent interface declaration I wrote:

type Checker interface {
Check(context.Context, *object.Commit, bool) (bool, []string, error)
Name() string
Describe() string
}

My program runs through a list of commits and runs "Checks" on them. These checks "pass (true)" or "fail (false)".

I want the user of my package to be in charge of the implementation details of a "Check", so I created the interface above.

Is it OK for the Check() function to take a *object.Commit? Should I instead pass a `SHA string` and let the implementer figure out how to get a *object.Commit from that string?
wonder what the homeowner association would have to say about that?

It hasn't taken the world by storm, but it's become big enough that I would consider it a success.
Maybe the real Twitter was the friends we made along the way.

If his goal was control of the hearts and minds of all the employees in the company, he's going about that poorly.

The only people I see speak positively about what he's doing are people not working for Twitter at all.

I rarely editorialize titles. In this case I felt that NASA was intentionally "burying the lede" so I substituted with a clear headline so HN readers would know what it's actually about.
My mom was a hippie, and she always promised me that after she died she'd figure out a way to tell me what it's like. I was in prison when she passed. Leading up to that first holidays after she passed sucked. Thanksgiving, horrible. Four months after her death, and approaching Xmas, I get a package at mail call. WTF? All of my family/friends had fallen off, so by that point it was only my mom who had still sent me letters. I open it, and it was a book on 'what the afterlife might look like'. She had figured out how to keep her word, and let me know what it was like after her passing. I don't know how it got shipped it came as an Amazon gift but with no identifying info. Her last 6 months she wasn't in a state to arrange anything, so she would have had to plan this like 10 months earlier. But having this gift, that was also an inside running kind of joke between us, oh man, that was so friggen awesome.

I'm not doing great myself, and my boy just won't take it serious so we can communicate stuff so this will be super helpful. I have probably thousands of dollars just in re-sellable music software licenses that I need a way to communicate to him, and I can't even get him to bookmark a shared Google doc (funny how relationships go when you completely and utterly fail people and betray them by going to prison).
I'm in that range too.

Not too many years ago, I was a fan of Elon. If I were a 5 year software veteran I might be a little different, particularly if I didn't personally know any VC's in the valley. It would literally be the opportunity of a lifetime.

Unfortunately, I think this era of the "Big Ego" (Trump, etc) has been very detrimental to leaders, much in the way the Jobs biography was to leaders about a decade ago.
> In my experience, things like code formatting and style were really predictive of the person’s contributions to a team.

How would you “measure my contributions to my team” based on my code when I spent weeks dealing with larger strategy issues as a senior developer and working with other developers and being involved in the sales process?
Why would an engineer care about that? I see this kind of sentiment expressed here frequently and it's so bizarre. Engineers make products, they don't design them, they don't make the determination that they are marketable or profitable, that is all on the business end of things. Why would an engineer care? Why do people impart an absurd obligation onto twitter engineers?
I disagree. FIFA is free to stop hosting the world cup. It can't be that hard to move to another country - other countries have stadiums and regulations that suit whatever whims FIFA has at the moment.

This is just the free market that HN readers love at work - perhaps there should have been some criticism of Qatar before this world cup? I haven't seen any before now.
I'm not really being fair. It's just that the standards are terribly confusing. There are two main standards; one is ultra-strict, and the other is so relaxed as to be meaningless.

I hate the argument we can make up for labor shortfalls with immigrants. Chuck Schumer says “we have a population that’s not reproducing on its own.” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/communi...

He says we can fix that with immigrants. But if there is something causing people to not want to “reproduce,” it seems like that needs to be fixed. Otherwise, you’re just shifting the burden of dealing with whatever that is onto immigrants trying to raise their families here. Like, I’m glad I’m raising my kids here instead of in Bangladesh. But it’s a lonely and isolating here in comparison to the way it is back home.
