There are a lot of personal attributes and social behaviors that unlock opportunities. In the US a positive attitude, gratitude, and genuine interest are among them. In general just being pleasant to be around and personable will get you far in the engineering world because those qualities are often times lacking. When people managers are making decisions about resourcing I think that they are not honest with themselves about how much them 'liking' a person goes into their decision making process. Same for hiring.

If you are a terse and dour person, it isn't that you will experience more rejection per-se, it is just that opportunities will not even be presented to you because the person with the opportunity doesn't want to spend time in your presence.
That's really interesting. How do you find using that process? I haven't seen it in action.

Ask HN: Is the architect role less demanded in software than before?
I've noticed an apparently decrease in opportunities and offering on training and courses or other material focused specifically in architects. I've had less contact with them in recent job experiences than 10 or 15 years before. I suggest a couple of possible reasons: Maturity in software practices inside companies, more autonomy between developer teams, Agile put aside the heavy documentation paradigm, speciality in software that lead to diversify responsabilities in new areas like devops and data analysis, and new roles like Principal and even the Senior developer. Do you consider this is real or just a bias from my own experience?
Article starts out pretty factual and then swerves into "I demand all the details now and if you're not telling me then you're hiding something".

Luckily for you, Alex, there will be a report from the FAA and NTSB investigating the whole thing. And they're very good at their jobs. So be patient.

I don't use this extension, but I have used the 'vscodevim' extension for many years now.

I forget all of the settings I changed to make it work for me, but it's mostly usable as a vim replacement now.

I needed to set 'use control keys' or something like that, so I can use Ctrl-[ instead of ESC to enter command mode, something I've done since Vim 2.0 days (and before that in Elvis).

I also override vim bindings for Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, (cut/copy/paste), Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-Y (undo/redo) so I can use vscode for that behavior instead. I'll also use the normal vim commands for those also (like yy, p, etc). Best of both worlds I suppose.

My only gripe with this approach is undo/redo stacks can sometimes get lost between vim and vscode handling it. There is a similar extension for Visual Studio which has never lost the undo/redo stack like the vscode extension does.

Is any of this any better with the newest vscode-neovim? I tried vscode-neovim a while back and had go back to vscodevim after having problems.
I don’t think I understand your point.
I thought that DOS mostly relies on the BIOS to initialize and access hardware (keyboard, video, disks), no drivers needed there. Games access the hardware directly, but they mostly only use VGA registers that any graphic card handles (plus audio, but that’s similar given the SB emulation).

On the other hand, Linux needs more hardware and relies much less on the BIOS. The kernel won’t be able to access e.g. the hard drive if it can’t speak to/initialize the IDE controller directly, something neither DOS nor any game needs to do.

Or did I misunderstand something?
I switched my Sonos speaker over from Alexa to Google and it’s working well enough now.
I'm not sure it's better than negativity to be honest. Honest negativity is at least honest.
But that doesn't really explain anything, or if anything makes it more confusing. So Apple goes out of their way to enable running non-Darwin OSs, writes good docs on how to use the hardware... and then never releases any docs or does anything to actually help people run non-Darwin OSs, after putting in all that effort to make it possible in the first place? Having the docs exist but not release them is more confusing, not less.
You're welcome! What sort of hardware did you settle on for the satellites?

I myself am getting tired AF of Google Assistant and their devices. So so tired of saying "Hey Google". And I have a Lenovo device with Google on it that was decent, the Google pushed an update to it and all video calls have an echo on them now making it entirely unusable. There are multiple threads on the internet about it too and Lenovo support says "contact Google" and Google says nothing on those threads, zilch. I don't trust Google devices anymore, they get abandoned routinely. I wish they didn't but I feel more empowered with an open device than I do with closed source, no public response Google stuff.

I'm definitely curious about trying a Mycroft now, and I think there may be others too. It may not be the masses but it might be enough to keep the project thriving.
I have no idea where you got the impression I had age in mind. Most people commute between suburbs and cities, and this commute data is averages (and broken down by state, too - some states don't have many hip cities) - not people taking a lime bike from apodment to office.

What hustle and bustle? Campuses of the likes of Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc. are surrounded by layers of suburbs, populated (purely due to prices, both current and over time, considering who could purchase when) by "experiences, accomplished folks". They probably live the closest to office and have the shortest commutes.
You might expect more. The US has had several more recent wars. Medical technology keeps a lot of people alive that would have died in the WWII era, leading to higher percentages of disabled civilians and soldiers.
How is revenue the only metric for "scale"? It sounds like you really don't know what you're talking about if when comparing technical complexity, your metric to go to is how much money something makes and not how many user accounts need to be served or the geographical complexity of running a real time view consistent across the globe. By that metric, is Walmart or Saudi Aramco's tech stack more complicated and larger scale than a software company's?
I agree 100%. Advocacy and de-escalation seriously need to be integrated into the US legal system.

Worth noting is that there is definitely a way this type of thing can go the wrong way when taken too far. When taken too far these types of helpful advocacy and assistance policies can end up having the opposite effect. I don't bring this up to say "too much is a bad thing" but rather that pushes for these reforms need to be careful and precise lest we end up accidentally undermining our own goals.

The real estate market is just that - a market. Your house can absolutely become worth less than the amount you borrowed over the period of your borrowing.

I'm familiar with the race-to-idle theory, but even on the lowest power mode it will scale between 400-900mhz depending on the workload. If there was anything blocking the CPU or hogging cycles, it would be clocking a bit faster.

That being said, it's still not a huge power gain. I mostly do it to keep the system cool and the fan off.
This is an interesting example but I have to wonder if it may inadvertently highlight a disconnect between the parties involved.
I'm no expert in this area but many stories have surfaced over the years regarding high levels of stress and (in extreme cases) meaningful declines in the mental health of social media content moderators.
I recently encountered a twitter thread from an early LiveJournal employee (1) @rahaeli "about Trust & Safety work, the toll it takes on you, the things you see, and the human misery, suffering, and death that happens when you fuck it up, including murder and child sex abuse." and I am inclined to believe that, while relatively simple and un-engaging, managers and end-users likely would have found it important.

I'd say bound, range is an acceptable way of defining an interval, it can save space for multidimensional intervals, though at the cost of increased computation.
> While many players do lie in the game, the best players do so very infrequently because it destroys the trust they’ve built with other players…

Just to be clear, “lie” here means “outright lie”. From your linked article:

> I asked Goff about any major falsehoods or betrayals that helped him in his victories. He paused to think, then said in his soft-spoken way: “Well, there may have been a few deceptive omissions on my part but, no, I didn’t tell a single outright lie the entire tournament.”

I think the average person would still consider a “deceptive omission” to be a “lie”.
Given what the death rates were like from Covid at the time the vaccines came out, many more years of life have probably been saved by vaccine than would have been taken by this crash anyway.

You explained why no one wants to take the job in the typical company. They would be disrespected, and likely soon fired.

But a different question is, why is no company trying to do this differently? Like, hiring one good tech writer to maintain the company documentation, and paying them as much as they pay the developers.
My wife and I do this regardless of mood: Each night during our moments of quiet time together, we talk about a few things that happened during the previous 12 hours that we're grateful for. This has become one of the best parts of the day for us.

> You may find mmap and mlock may be helpful.

I know about mmap and mlock. Can you be more specific as to how they are useful in the scenario I mentioned above?

Specifically, when memory overcommit is disabled, I can use mmap() to allocate address space but this causes Linux to unnecessarily reserve swap space for the entire amount of the address space allocation.

This means that if the address space allocation is big enough, it would almost certainly fail even though I would only need to use a very tiny fraction of it.

Do you understand what I mean? Just because I allocate address space, it doesn't mean I will use all of it.

As far as I know, Linux can't handle this problem, because there's no way to communicate to the kernel which chunks of the address space allocation I wish to use.

Which means that disabling overcommit in Linux can be completely useless, because many mmap() calls start failing unnecessarily.

I don't think mlock() has anything to do with this problem.
You might be interested to learn that the tribalistic strawman you've created is not entirely accurate, and that some of the staunchest conservatives are more on the side of anti-pollution and environmental conservation than their jet-setting counterparts.

There is a lot of people who don't understand how complex our lives became.

There is much more of a disconnect between stuff we eat and food regulations for example.

People working on food regulations might feel like it is BS job because almost every company abides to the rules and it seems like without it everyone would do that because it seems "obvious".

In 1850s meat was produced by basically everyone who had animals, amount of sick people because of no regulation was super high. Is there anyone from 2020s that remembers it?

I believe there is much more disconnect - so people don't really understand "why" they are doing their jobs than actual BS jobs.

Other argument, singers are not producing anything why people pay for songs or concerts? It is BS job if we look at simple outcome of food or produce, but it is not BS if we look at emotions.

"Ate without a table." -5 mood for a week.
Exceptions were added after CFront 2.0[1] but before/concurrent to the Annotated C++ Reference Manual[2] release which served as the de facto standard until the ISO[3]. The Annotated C++ Reference Manual itself references "Andrew Koenig and Bjarne Stroustrup: Exception Handling for C+ (revised), Proc. USENIX C+ Conference, San Francisco, April 1990."[4]

In fact there is a hint at the design considerations in the latter "an implementation that has no run-time costs when exceptions do not occur."

Perhaps a question to Rust users, is Result zero-overhead? The answer to that may be the same.

The C++ Reference Manual continues:

> The design here and the criteria for it evolved slowly. An earlier version of the design was presented at the ‘C+ at Work” conference in November 1989 by Andrew Koenig and Bjame Stroustrup. The design presented here owes much to the discussion generated by that paper and in particular to comments by Toby Bloom, Peter Deutch, Ken Friedenbach, Keith Gorlen, Michael O'Riorden, Mike Powell, Jim Mitchell, Rob Seliger, Jonathan Shopiro, and Mike Tiemann. The design is clearly influenced by the exception handling mechanism in ML.
Another important source of inspiration was the work on fault-tolerant systems done in the University of Newcastle in England under the direction of Brian Randel.

> I love Rimworld but this game's idea of "fun" is perpetually moody colonists doing stupid shit the moment one of their myriad needs aren't met.

Not exactly. They don't go crazy immediately. I think the 'eating without table' debuff is too harsh, but other than that... You can get away with ignoring basic pawn needs for quite a while. I want to see _you_ survive in an environment with tattered clothes, saying a friend (or pet) dying, and yes, eating raw meat without a table.

It's similar to Dwarf Fortress where tantrum spirals are a feature. Except in Dwarf Fortress things are way more deadly.

You can control the storyteller. Go with Chillax if you want more time (although that one could _still_ spawn mechanoids). Don't open ancient vaults, or go digging inside mountains if you don't want bugs.

Finishing the game is a bonus. Also now you can pack up and leave the map if it's too bad, we didn't have that option for a while.
This thread is about Long Covid treatments. State legislation was passed in Tennessee to make ivermectin available OTC.

The FDA hasn’t approved any dry herb vaporizers for any form of medical use at all. If you want to inhale a liquid medicine, then you do it with a nebulizer. The reason for this is that it’s obviously stupid to inhale all the toxic and carcinogenic substances you get from smoking or vaping marijuana.

You can continue making comments about efficacy if you like, but I don’t know who you’re addressing them to, because I haven’t said anything about efficacy at all.

I think this is supposed to be a casual conversation between people who share a point of view.
He has addressed this previously. He doesn’t want to increase the time he has to spend at the computer, which CNC or 3D printing require.

I am sure he would push the envelope in those areas too if he chose to.
The complexity of your product has nothing to do with whether it is profit making or not. If that was the case, you wouldn't have loss making products in the AI space nor would you have profit making products in the garden shovel space.

Advertising is a hard problem that not many companies have solved at the scale of Twitter, that is what I am trying to get at. There are not too many social media networks out there which have hundreds of millions of users and billions of data points, and it's very misleading to say that work done in such a scenario is "something fairly well-understood and at any rate done by a lot of teams in a lot of places", when literally they're the only ones with Twitter type data outside of a couple of other Chinese social networks.
Thanks for such a prompt reply! It would be great if you get some time to fix this — I’m really interested in seeing what my local busses look like.

Also, while I’m thinking about it: have you considered graphing trains too? I know they have live data available too, and they (unsurprisingly) seem to be more consistent than busses in my experience. (No pressure intended, just throwing the idea out there…)

The solution to the first problem already exists (It's called having your own public/private key), and the solution to the second is to live in pretty much anywhere that's not the United States. Neither of which requires you to pay a cent to the early adopters of the token of the week.

The second isn't as much of a killer app as you think to normies, and neither is the first.

That’s the whole point I’m making. If a lifestyle is unsustainable, then there needs to be an incentive to making it sustainable beyond that fact.

Being able to live close to work is an incentive for living densely.

But living densely isn’t sustainable either, and is arguably less sustainable, so the point is moot anyway. It’s just an example.

Honesty, yes, that is what is missing.

Why the moral judgments on positive or negative? They both have their place. It’s the moralizing of positive or negative that causes problems in society.
