I played in amateur leagues in college. None of the things you mentioned are same category as “teammates phoning in” or “coach is doing stupid shit” or “you’re polishing the bench while less skilled person is playing bc he’s friends with coach”. Which I’m guessing is what OP referring to. Sure when you’re a kid you just want to do good and have fun. When you start taking on more leadership roles things like above become harder to ignore.
Which would make this a gang problem, rather than a homeless problem.
I am thankful

for politicians, lawyers and tv evangelists because it gives me something to laugh at.

for the significant other who hogs the covers every night, because he/she is not out with someone else.

for the teenager who is not doing dishes but is watching tv, because that means he/she is at home and not on the streets.

for the taxes that I pay, because it means that I am employed.

for the mess to clean after a party, because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.

for the clothes that fit a little too snug, because it means I have enough to eat.

for my shadow that watches me work, because it means I am out in the sunshine.

for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing, because it means I have a home.

for all the complaining I hear about (legal abortions, the loss of the environment, the inefficient government, greedy corporations, etc.) because it means that we have freedom of speech.

for the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot, because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.

for my huge heating or cooling bill, because it means I am comfortable.

for the ugly fat lady behind me in church that sings way off key, because it means that I can hear and see.

for the huge pile of dirty laundry, because it means I have clothes to spare.

for weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day, because it means I have been capable of working hard.

for the alarm that goes of in the early morning hours, because it means that I am alive.

and finally.......for too much spam and advertising, because it means I have friends, family and spammers/advertisers who are thinking of me.
Looks like a poor match for FDM printing. There's no orientation where the layers won't leave some part of this component very weak. In any orientation, it requires support material; in the suggested print orientation, it requires internal support material, which will leave rough surfaces on areas of the part that have to interface and fit with the ethernet jack.

Essentially doesn't really look like a 3D-printing project so much as an injection moulded part design.
If you walk into a store and say "I need a cat bed," and the store directs you to the most profitable cat bed ... is that a violation of your proposed law? How do you legislate around that? There are a thousand cat beds! They are all the same! The store that doesn't take bribes to hype certain brands goes out of business! And all we have left is Amazon! I mean, I guess that's already happened, so ... what more do they want? Does Amazon have no shame? What if they used their monopoly to sell stuff honestly? Would their whole business collapse?
> The article says prosecutors don't go after these thefts

the article says that was speculated but not borne out by the data.

> What is behind this unwelcome rise? Some speculated that prosecutors had gone soft on looting after the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020. But it is hard to see any such trend in the data: generally states with more shoplifting prosecute more shoplifters (see chart).
I ordered something from Amazon a few weeks ago, and didn't check the shipping time. I turned out that the thing was sent directly from China and took 2 weeks. The tracking that Amazon provides did not even work properly. There is really almost no reason anymore not to order the stuff on Aliexpress for 20% lower prices.
I assumed he meant like a free trade union, not political integration.
I am not a beginner.

Those sorts of security vulnerabilities are possible in Python/Elixir/etc. In both Rust and Python/Elixir/etc., they're only possible when you do certain unusual things. You are claiming that the Rust way does count, but that the other languages' ways don't count, with no justification.

Memory safety does matter. Rust is memory-safe and C++ is not, so your conclusion doesn't follow.
He's deep into the tether/Bitfinex scam since the start, way before Alameda/FTX existed. Now how he ended up there is quite a mistery but it's been known since years and years.
Yes this, it's clearly a suboptimal strategy but can be enough to win you some prize money in some very loose tournaments, e.g. freerolls.
> You have mentioned in another post that you have benefitted from food stamps for a while (did I understand that right?), allowing you to eat healthy; other people need that and maybe a little additional help with food, housing and clothing

Absolutely. There’s a false dichotomy that runs all the way through this entire debate, which says that in order to demonstrate that we are compassionate and that we care about the plight of the poor and working class we must also insist that their condition is never the result of personal choices, but always external factors. This makes no sense. It is not particularly hard to keep two sets of books, one that says we should help those who need it and another that tells people who can benefit from this message that they do have agency, that their choices matter, that they can do things to improve their situation.

People need to believe that their actions have consequences. And the good news: it’s not a lie. Actions do have consequences. There actually are things you can do to improve your situation. That’s a hopeful message, not a cruel one.

And yet, there will of course be people who for whatever reason are unable to improve their lot in life. We should help them. There’s no contradiction here.
I just got nightmares about trying to interface one through CUPS
Well depending on how you define both sides.

They are buying the regulation for themselves and against the people and yes this is very common and the people hate it.

I’m teaching my daughter at the moment. She started with (free) codeacademy courses and like these because of the tests. She then went onto codewars - also free. It has any language you can think of, has 8 levels of challenges. Allows you to write your own tests and to run their test sweet to determine if it passes. For each submission you can see other people’s answers and sort them by things like cleverness. Great to learn from. She really enjoyed this format. She is now working through FrontEndMasters web dev stream and enjoying the format. She had an assessment today with a bootcamp and smashed it after just 4 weeks full time learning.
I've always wondered how apple gets away with its monopolies when other companies don't/can't.
Git plugins must have binaries that start with "git-" because that's how they become subcommands. If the binary is called "git-something" for that reason, and it's about the project git anyway, it kind of makes sense to use this as project name.
While I won’t pretend to be completely ambivalent to the rights argument about freedom of speech, do people really find value in a platform that is all crypto scams and poop emoji’s? Sounds expensive to store.

Concentrate on the stuff you can do well. I'm sure everyone has some traits or some skills he can rely on. Practice those skills, improve them, be open to new ideas.

The thing is, even if I know or see things I don't like, often it is actually quite hard to figure out a way to improve the situation, a way which works for everyone in the team. Those things take time. You can try to improve those things, but be prepared for a bumpy road. Going in full head on can be painful, things can get personal or you'll do or say things you could regret. Sometimes it's better to wait it out, sometimes it's better to take it slow. And sometimes it's better to just leave it and concentrate on the stuff you can do well.

I don't want to sound like a know-it-all and possibly there are companies which are hopelessly lost. But there are always things to learn and to improve on a personal level. And I'm sure you'll feel better, if you don't try to fight every upward battle.
what you described to me sounds like a recurring theme of you being opinionated when you arent hired to do that

just take a cue from the “quiet quitting” crowd, which is a weird way of saying to just do the job as described for 8 hours a day and go home
That stuff would be easy if I had food stamps on top of my income.
But compiler error messages are file:5 so this isn't good enough.
I’m a biochemist + software engineer, and while I understand where you’re coming from, IMO that’s a very harmful/self-sabotaging attitude.

"A hollow voice says 'you're no fool'."
The same was the case with everything else in those days. You had to set up winsock, set your POP3 and SMTP, SLIP/PPP etc. If you weren't technical you were just not on it or you had someone else set it up for you.

We're talking mid-90s and Windows 95 made things a little better but it was still a mess because Microsoft thought they could make their own internet knockoff MSN a success. So they put much more effort into that at first. Thank God they were unsuccessful because the online world would have been even more commercial than it is now. Even now they're willing to risk the tiny market share of edge by spamming people with "special offers"

Webmail was still pretty new and not fully functional. Usenet was just one of the many things to set up. I don't think this was the reason it didn't take off.

I have come here to rail against (pun intended) the use of the name Takahē for a piece of software. The author is well-intentioned and there is some aptness to the name, but many people here in Aotearoa / New Zealand, are sensitive to the use of the names of our tāonga / treasures for businesses, technologies and other objects. Specifically, the takahē is an indigenous species tāonga as described in https://www.taiuru.maori.nz/branding/. As such it would be best to consult with the Ngāi Tahu people before using the takahē’s name in this manner. In this link from NZ’s Department of Conservation (https://www.doc.govt.nz/news/media-releases/2021-media-relea...), you can see that NZers take this sort of iwi partnership seriously.

More broadly, I find it sad when the the names of natural species and features are adopted in the business and technology world without any deep connection. A canonical case would be Amazon the company, which has prospered and become a household name while the Amazon itself, with its people and ecosystems has suffered and declined. An egregious case relevant to NZ is Kiwi Farms.

The trend of using species names in technology perhaps started with the O’Reilly books. The argument can be raised that such use raises awareness of endangered species such as the takahē. But perhaps that is best left to other means, for fear that the mauri of a species should be captured and harmed.
Yeah, seems like its been hugged to death a bit. A single GPU is not quite enough.

It's weird, one would expect eBay to be more of a wild west than Amazon marketplace, but in my experience the eBay sellers are fast and mostly trustworthy.

This is why I care. Criminals degrade society and we all suffer for their greed.
You're viewing this a binary outcome of "will delisting block all malware results". Of course it won't, and it doesn't have to. This fight is never ending, and we need small victories.

Google doesn't need to be a customer service company to do this. In fact, the opposite, they need to be a search engine company. Some domain names, IPs and site content have associations with software products, but at present Google only extends the protection of being an authoritative source to some products.

Google also own Virus Total, they know which files are malware. So they can know which sites are full of malware, they just don't alter the search rankings to reflect that.

As to legalities, VLC playing whack a mole in the US courts is expensive and pointless, the time scale is so long they would easily switch to the backup domain. But that doesn't work with crawling -- to appear in a result you need to be indexed.
No, it's not just you.

My career is following a similar trajectory, except it is 2-3 years instead of 3-5 , so from my point of view, you are doing pretty well.

I'm not sure if there is anything wrong with you or me. When I look back, I believe that at each employer I learned many important lessons, I didn't repeat the same mistakes over and over again, and I built important work relationships.

So far (7 years in), the market didn't punish me for the lack of blind royalty on my side. Almost every time, I switch with a significant pay raise that I could not even dream of if I stayed. When I switch, I try something new while at the same time, I build on top of what I learned at previous companies, so I become useful for the new company pretty quickly.

I dunno... It's the circle of life?

(my career is not perfect and I know I need to improve a lot, I'm just saying that from my POV, it's normal, it's not necessarily bad for your career, and I regret nothing)
The non docker install path for almost any project is to run the individual scripts from the dockerfile, plus adding the CMD to systemd or similar.
I don't think it works from the CLI: code <file>:5 doesn't do what's expected.
I have absolutely loved working in genomics. I am a huge believer that genomics will be a huge part of healthcare in the future, and i have two examples to motivate that point that I think may be interesting to the reader.

1) The Moderna vaccine was made with the help of illumina genome sequencing. They were able to sequence the virus and send that sequence of nucleotides over to moderna for them to develop the vaccine - turning a classically biology problem, into a software problem, reducing the need for them to bring the virus in house.

2) Illumina has a cancer screening test called Galleri, that can identify a bunch of cancers from a blood test. It identifies mutated dna released by cancer cells. This is huge, if we can identify cancer before someone even starts to show symptoms, the chances of having a useful treatment dramatically go up.

Disclaimer: I work for illumina, views my own.

I wrote some more about why genomics is cool from a technical point of view here (truly big data, hardware accelerated bioinformatics) : https://dddiaz.com/post/genomics-is-cool/
> I am saying you can find a GC language that gives all the safety (and technically more) of rust.

Giving "all the safety" is theoretically possible, but "technically more" is not. And even if you did have "all the safety", you'd still have the big performance disadvantage with a GC language.

> My quote of “future unsafety” is that even if your code currently uses only safe rust, their will always be the chance someone adds unsafe rust, increasing the safety issues.

No there won't. This is what #![forbid(unsafe_code)] is for.
Hey, thanks so much for the kudos. This is a solid point. I'm going to talk with the team about prioritising an export function.

Each CodeNote is essentially a node of links to that code (and conversations about that code) in other places: VCS Hosts, editors, Slack etc. The generated VCS Host and Slack permalinks are not dependant on us. So we can, at least, create a dump of those in short order.

We use websockets to locate the code in editors, but could easily downgrade these to protocol links (e.g. `vscode:`) that are independent of us also.

What format would be most useful for the dump to be in? JSON, CSV, markdown ...? I'm thinking JSON just from a data organisation perspective?

Aviation is responsible for (depending on who you ask) around 2-4 % of all CO2 emissions. It really is at the very end of the list of things to worry about.

More than half of CO2 is produced by the energy sector.
More than a quarter is produced by wheeled vehicles with combustion engines.
Solving these two alone would also slash the lifecycle emissions of most consumables.

So, let's concentrate on these things first, shan't we?
Yeah good point, not something I’d properly thought about.

As someone who has had an ulcer, I am super grateful that H. Pylori is substantially less common. Of all the diseases that I’ve had, it is easily the most unpleasant and I sincerely do not wish it even upon my worst enemies.
The cultures which survived on all-meat diets did so by eating organ meats along with muscle; they usually had either seafood or dairy, as well.
> Opening a file is often done in creation, and `file:5` is a perfectly valid filename, so it's a bit debatable for a default

You're right, but even as an option I think it'd be nice.
Fully agree. Without HN, I wouldn't had read books like Code, Designing Data-Intensive Applications or Operating System: Three Easy Pieces (to name just a few). I'm usually a passive reader here, but I wanted to say thank you to all of you who share their knowledge and wisdom and therefore help me to learn new things on a (almost) daily basis.
Not really. Walk around the city and you see more cops than ever. The issue is that police don’t actually prevent crime. Putting more cops on the street is like trying to use water to extinguish a grease fire.

To counter your experience tho, the clip helps with cable from coming out of my router, the rubber helps with the tab breaking when it caches on another cable.
The problems OP listed didn’t strike me as unusually pathological. There’s probably some rationale behind each of those decisions. Certainly not the kind engineers like to hear, but political and budgeting reasons.
They already have advertising, at least in MacOS. Every time I put on my headphones I get a pop-up ad for Apple Music, and I can't hide iCloud or Safari's constant nagging to get me to use them.

Everyone has their own limits, but I left the ecosystem after Mojave (with this being one reason).
I left another comment, but something else occurred to me: You need the New Employee Perspective. It's that same perspective you get when you're the New Employee. Everything is fresh, cool, and awesome. You do great work. Everyone loves you. Then you start noticing things you don't like. You get jaded. "Things were better 2 years ago" kind of thinking.

You leave, somebody else comes in, and they have the New Employee Perspective. Everything to them is fresh, cool, and awesome.

So why can't that New Employee be you? It's just a matter of perspective.

> That often there is a BIG PROBLEM that could have APOCALYPTIC CONSEQUENCES and we worry and worry and then it gets solved or goes away

This is indeed something to be thankful for, but it is also something to be very wary of. Over-extrapolating this leads to complacency. Some problems, like climate change, are not just going to go away.
I don't think middlemen are the issue.

In biotech, the end goal is a physical product or a service performed by a doctor or another highly paid professional. Those don't scale as well as software. The ratio of users to developers is also low. You are likely developing software for many niche tasks, which does not scale either.

And if you are considering roles in the academia, your productivity is not going to be high enough to justify a competitive salary. Productivity, in monetary terms, is defined by the amount of money you can bring in. Either directly on indirectly. In the academia, that usually means grants. You may be able to argue successfully to a funding agency that one software engineer is worth two postdocs, but not four.
This is phenomenal!
