Switching jobs is hard for a ton of reasons.

We also do need people to operate the rail system. "Everybody just leaves and becomes a software engineer" isn't good for society.
If I am interpreting the parent's comment correctly, he's referring to TAs (we called them "team leads") not instructors. Based on the context of the comment I'm assuming that this was a time when we had a TA for every 8 students on top of a layering of instructors for each cohort, and indeed the TAs would do a lot of the 1:1 interaction. There has never been a time we didn't have qualified instructors, though I would readily admit the quality of our instructors has improved over time as we got better at instructional design and hiring.
But not unexpected
The PDP-1 did this too, unless it was equipped with the automatic multiply-divide extension.
The Ricoh GR and the sprinkled offerings from Fujifilm have been the only worthwhile point-and-shoots for a long time. I still take my Fuji XF10 with me everywhere because it's unobtrusive and will archive better than anything a small-sensor phone could.
Yep, there's never before been a rich man with a loose grasp on morality, nor a poor man with a strong one. History shows that this just doesn't happen.

They don't have weekends. They have 90 days off, while the average worker have 104, without paid leave.
It was expedient; decency was unnecessary to explain their actions.

These laws were passed in an environment of both great social upheaval domestically, and the cold war internationally. Both contributed.

The Soviet Union kept pointing out US race relations whenever the US claimed to be for freedom. The hypocrisy of the US could not be ignored by the predominantly white christian leaders who enacted these laws while expecting to have any credibility abroad. And, now that the cold war is over, the predominantly white christian political right is attempting to dismantle every single one of these acts and more.

It may be more related to having to work your way up to engineer. I don't know how it works in the US but I could see having to have 10+ years experience in the industry in other jobs before you can become a train driver.

Same thing with airline pilots; they're all older.
can't the battery problem be mitigated if you plug in your Macbook while running Stable Diffusion?
I think the problem is less about the number of megapixels and more about the size of the pixels (i.e. sensor) personally.

Smartphones simply cannot resolve the same level of detail that a proper camera can, regardless of how many MP of resolution they provide. Computational AI helps a bit, but...
Is there a good alternative to openresty (aka nginx w/ lua) ?

I too have fought nginx on upstream health checking and have avoided the cost of Nginx Plus. I'd love a good alternative, but we have a number of lua plugins we depend on for rate limiting, metrics, auth, etc.
The US does not the balls anymore to do anything against China, unfortunately. (Nor the financial interests to do so, with most of the US debt being owned by China)
I've watched a bunch of the films said to influence Star Wars, and I'd say the main influence of Hidden Fortress was the R2-D2 and C-3PO characters. There are some plot similarities and of course Lucas has a character almost say the words "hidden fortress" but the only part that made me go "oh, wow, that's exactly where that came from" was the two sidekick buddy-characters.

Visualizing Blackouts at Home in Kyiv
>means testing on the retirement

It depends. If the primary principle is that retirement is necessary because of the wear-and-tear on one's body, then, yes, we should have some way to gauge that wear-and-tear. It seems odd to me that we can use this as the primary mechanism to justify retirement but also push back on the need to measure it.

As far as this leading to diminishing the collective bargaining of the unions, the unions are in the drivers seat there. I prefer to think of union members as smart enough agents to understand and weigh those ramifications. If it's in their best interest to maintain solidarity, I'd hope they would. But maybe you're right and it plays on short-sightedness inherent in people.

FWIW, I am in favor of giving sick days to the rail employees. It seems a bit absurd not to. I don't know the particulars of the way PSR works, but it seems like the objective function/constraints need tweaking to capture the negative externalities to employees. To me, it's the govt's role to ensure those negative externalities are accounted for and they probably have a number of tools to accomplish this, up to and including regulation.
I am not sure which aspects you are looking to recreate exactly, but please check out my Chinese learning web app (JinbuPal).

The primary focus is to help you learn high frequency characters and words as quickly as possible while giving you real-time data as to the application of what you've learned. You can gain familiarity with character pronunciations and then learn words that use only characters you've already studied. Seeing your progress score helps boost your confidence when starting to read real Chinese texts.

You will reach 80%+ recognition of characters and knowledge of words through completing everything in the app. At that point, you'll feel much more confident to approach real-world written Chinese from any resource you find personally interesting.
Show HN: Etch a Sketch with a Gamepad
While toying with receiving gamepad commands in the browser, I made this today. It's a simple Etch A Sketch that can be controlled by joysticks from a connected gamepad. (It's also possible to move the rotary buttons with a mouse.)

In a way it's a little easier than the original, because it allows to turn the 'draw' function on or off, so the user can position the dot somewhere and start drawing from there. But joysticks are quite imprecise, so drawing curves or diagonals is pretty hard!

The gamepad can be configured to attach axes and buttons to the actions.

The current drawing can be downloaded as a .png at any time by clicking on the "download" link.
This is a good idea. LogRocket does this to great effect. Instead of annoying people, they put a lot of great content out into the world.

It certainly has let me know about their product in a way that having some smarmy dude named Josh scrape my email from GitHub and email me about it would not have.
Yeah, some camera menus suck.

I’m a photographer and your comment made me laugh. Everyone in photo circles hates the Sony menus on their cameras because they’re the worst.

Canon, Panasonic, and Fuji have substantially better menu systems that we all far prefer.

I find it funny your opinion has been informed by using the worst the camera sphere has to offer!

That being said, these menus and UIs are aimed at pros who do nothing else but take photos. It’s a coding IDE, not a simple text editor. It’s going to be foreign to the casual user. That is by design.

Also, the computational photography is a nuisance for our work. We want the LEAST edited photo file possible every time.

I understand your lack of interest in editing, it’s a chore that even we have to do, but it’s also one of our power tools. We choose this, it is not a step backwards for us!

It sounds like “professional” photography just isn’t for you!

However, before I start a bunch of arguments, I will say one thing. There is always room for improvement and they could likely do UX/UI analysis to further improve things. Though, from my use, I do find it to be very hardware focused which feels intuitive to me and those in my photo circles. I think it’s the prerequisite of knowing shutter, ISO, and aperture as well as focus pulling concepts. That makes me “know what to look for”.

How to Start Managing People – The First 3 One-on-Ones
Whenever risc va cisc is discussed, I remember reading that it’s not a “reduced set of instructions”, but rather a “set of reduced instructions”. I always think of various addressing modes, and rather having the divide instruction know about these, risc would force you to handle those in separate steps.
It seems like the big camera manufacturers have accepted that they will not be going after consumers anymore. They concede.

I wonder if there is still room on the edges of the prosumer market though to push more people into the big dedicated cameras.

Could a better camera OS, more digital photography, and quicker, sexier results, along the lines of what we see on iOS, combined with amazing sensors and glass, convert some people over?

Or are those numbers too small to be worth a try?
I don’t buy it.

There’s nothing preventing GCC from having different inlining/outlining heuristics as well as different cost models for versioning based on target.

Unless you control for that, the results are meaningless.

My own tests say that x86 and arm thumb2 are about equally compact and everything else is fatter. But even those tests probably lacked all the controls you’d need to get it right.
I think you can also do "scihub.idk/", the trailing slash forces Chrome to treat it as an URL.
I think it's actually a smart move. Your first guess in Worldle has traditionally been one made with 0 information, and therefore people tend to pick a word and just use it every day. By making this change it encourages people to mix it up a bit, and maybe try words they otherwise wouldn't.
One of the ways in which I'm confident humanity won't do anything meaningful to stop the accelerating biosphere collapse is the fact that no influential billionaire nor UN organization is cataloguing high quality genomic information of animals-which-are-soon-to-die. If anyone who was anyone had any faith in future humans Doing Something about the worsening problems, even with speculative sufficiently-advanced technology, you'd think this would be happening. But no, not even the so-called charismatic megafauna [0] get backups.

I assume there are a lot of practical concerns, like "these aren't seeds, how do we keep the data fresh" and "how many individuals do we practically need to stave off genetic bottlenecking". Barring sufficiently-advanced technology, I wonder if there's even a viable way to freeze mammalian tissue, eggs, anything, for Very Long Term storage; more germanely, I wonder if we can get there before the collapse.

I'm therefore pinning my hopes on the mammoth burger enthusiasts.

> I would have just expected it to install it in the proper location (hopefully not in my home directory) and leave the rest of the configuration to me

While I don't advocate for piping curl to bash, this is exactly what I expect an installer to do. It should provide sane defaults that don't require me to fiddle around with manpages or other documentation and config files before I can even use the thing. I'd say that's even the standard for most software. Now, I might compromise on the installer telling me what command I need to enter to get a default configuration/setup integrated instead of doing it automatically, but I have too much shit to do to waste it on configuring the nth thing I've installed this week.

I think what's missing is some standardization around what an installer is allowed to do and flags to tell it when to make certain changes as well as explicit logging for what exactly was changed or added where, but that's not going to be solved if everybody has their own bespoke bash script for installation.
... Also: if one starts to draw and then connect a gamepad, the current canvas is cleared. This is hard to fix without removing the possibility of clearing the canvas from a gamepad button.
>At this point, we identified that it was also possible to access customer information and run vehicle commands on Honda, Infiniti, and Acura vehicles in addition to Nissan.

>We reported the issue to SiriusXM who fixed it immediately and validated their patch.

Nice to see that it was addressed quickly, but it's frightening that such a shoddy system design was accepted by auto manufacturers with seemingly no oversight.
> If my package manager had an Oh My Zsh package

This is the author missing the point. The reason `curl | bash` is common is because devs don't like packaging for every distro under the sun, and MacOS, and FreeBSD, and... If you really think `curl | bash` is the problem, then you should be lining up to package the stuff you use for your distro. Instead, it is always someone else's problem.

Package managers are great... for the user. For everyone else, a polyglot system, with arcane technical policies, and even more arcane human policies is... not ideal.
I have family members who consider themselves "real engineers" compared to me, an SWE. They have backgrounds in Mechanical and other "traditional" engineering fields.

About once a quarter I am subject to conversations where they remark condescendingly about how flabbergasted they are at SWE salaries. I stopped engaging beyond "Mmm if you're interested you should learn more about the field".

This interaction is beyond grating and is detrimental to our relationships.

"Quality" is more like a vector than a real number. Well-written, factually correct, convincing, are not necessarily the same things. Language generators like this can be specifically asked to say untrue things, they don't only get things wrong just by their lack of competence.

Based on this thread and my own corroborating experiences, this feels like a field ripe for harvest—if anyone sold a camera with DSLR-grade optics and smartphone-grade usability and computational abilities, they'd be rich! For those in the know, what makes this more difficult than it seems? Why has nobody done this yet and what challenges are standing in the way?

I was going to say that there are no SSE/AVX micro ops and x87, SSE, AVX, AVX512 just get translated to the same internal format that implement the superset of all specific instruction behaviours, but looking at the instruction tables, for example for Ice Lake, you can see that the legacy FADD is converted to exactly one uop that is run on port 5, while ADDSS is also one uop but it can be executed on either port 0 or 1. So it seems that at least Ice Lake still has x87 specific uops.

You can see that something like the legacy FCOS is instead definitely microcoded as it expands to hundreds of uops. This has been the case for at least two decades.
There are plenty of companies out there that are hiring 100% remote. Research + preparation, that’s my plan. I’m not going back to the office.
> They could easily have refused to vote for it and let the strike happen w/o real sick days.

No they could not. That would lead to economic catastrophe worse than march/april 2020. Dems would get swept next election and the workers wouldn't even win because dems would be forced to pass this exact law within a week of the strike starting. The government can't let 100,000 unrelated people lose their jobs, and they really can't let grocery stores run out of stuff or coal plants run out of coal causing blackouts.
Agree with author. For me, in addition to separating the "download script" and "run it" steps, there is also a "read script to figure out just what the heck it is going to do to my system", with optional "edit script to remove silly things" and "just manually run the three important commands" steps.

Unfortunately, there just isn't a way to square the circle of "this has to work for everybody" and " this shouldn't take 300 lines to ensure a directory exists".

So long as there remain any scarcities of necessities (housing, mostly) improvements in automation and robotics will only be put to use to help us outcompete our peers.

It's more galling when you realize these shortages, at least of housing, are artificially created in order to make sure people keep working as much as possible.
Typescript support in Svelte is one of the biggest problems with the framework I’ve encountered. We have a couple of production Svelte apps at my job and overall the frontend DX is excellent. However, not being able to use generically typed components is a big missing feature. We have a number of custom core components which work really well, but not being able to create a new component with something like MyTable = Table<User> feels like an oversight. Inside of the Table code we work around this shortcoming to appease tslint…

Overall though regular .ts code works well. We use it for all our API definitions and networking layer, and it’s been 1000x better than our former version built with jinja/jQuery.
Four of the top five largest companies are tech companies. Tech is arguably the most powerful industry in the world. It has a huge impact on almost every aspect of our day-to-day lives.

> see taxes as wasted money or theft,

You are mixing chicken and eggs here. We had education and skilled people before huge governments stealing massive amounts of taxes from people existed. The disposable income from the population gave rise to bureaucrats who love to tax everything under and pretend that they world cannot run without them. That's pure twisted logic.

It's also worth looking at which unions ratified it, for instance SMART Yardmasters and Mechanical ratified it, but TD, the branch that is on the train, have not.

NCFO, well the Firemen and Oilers there refers to fixed plants not locomotives, and they've been part of the service industry union for the last 30 years, I don't know who exactly they cover but it's again probably not the engineers/conductors.

All of which is to say that the unions that have ratified the agreement are the ones that aren't being fucked by PTO/sick day shit (which isn't to say unaffected but, not fucked).
I don't advocate killing to protect your property. But advertising that to criminals is like putting a sign up that says "take what you want".

For people who say "You value object X over peoples lives", my reply is "Why does that criminal value that object of mine more than his own life?"
"Consumer harm" from monopolists is very much a trailing indicator. Organizations that have even a smidge of sense will put that off for a long time as they accumulate power. Having all your regulation set up to wait until that point is bad policy.

That said, Ticketmaster has been terrible forever. It's baffling how they've gotten this far while being so blatantly bad.
A trillion dollars in credit card debt is about $9k per household, or $5k per adult in the US.

Alleged fraud? The same way that Theranos allegedly lied to investors and the FDA about a device that had no actual efficacy and resulted in losses in the billions?

I swear that white collar-crime is almost encouraged amongst this class of people when the legal system is this lenient towards them, (by contrast Ross Ulbrict is serving 2 life sentence for simply operating Silk Road) what more do they need the Bahama Government has intervened, and seized what assets they had left in order to prevent them to lose anything else.

Furthermore, while I now it's entirely unlikely to materialize, the time has come to curtail this legally sanctioned bribing system and hopefully this sets things into motion as SBF's actions were so brazen and cannot be denied:

> Another legal expert said that there could be other factors at play, too, including the extensive political donations that FTX executives were involved in with both major political parties.

There have been “campaign donations on both sides of the aisle from FTX and there have been political overtones and undertones in this case,” said Braden Perry, former senior trial attorney at the Commodities Futures Trading Commission and a Kennyhertz Perry partner.

“I think that this is just out of prudence and out of caution to make sure that whatever is happening is done at an independent level,” Perry said.

Usually those “medium” schools are suburban districts with engaged parents and cash. It’s a different universe with its own set of problems.

My sister was a teacher in a small urban school district. She had 50 kids enrolled in her 1st grade and never saw more than 20-25. Half of the parents were <25 and a ~6 were in jail for some part of the year. She would go shopping clearance sales after Christmas to buy winter coats to give to students. Some kids weren’t potty trained. Most had unstable living arrangements.

Bigger districts see both of those worlds at scale. NYC has 1M students and probably 30-40k in the conditions I described. That scale drives specialization, policy, etc.
