At some point, we need to stop focusing on the next shiny thing. The web ran for decades without frameworks, then it ran well with jQuery, and now many websites use outdated frameworks. But who cares if you're not the developer working on the codebase? If the age of the framework doesn't break regular navigation and native browser behaviors there's no reason to switch to a new framework unless you are working on a big increment.
Can you share which companies you got interviews with, and for what positions?
That's about 12 generations. Some people would call that a few.
Although not exactly like Dwarf Fortress, I've been playing Songs of Syx[1] recently and it's incredibly good. It is made by a single developer and it is super fun. It's more of an Empire building game, and it checks a lot of the boxes I want out of these sorts of games. I can see it becoming even more impressive and as time goes on. Demo is unlimited and free, it's just 3-6 months behind the paid version with features, so if you like it definitely support the dev.

The Moon has no (net) commercial value so of course the market is wisely not building infrastructure where it's not needed.

There have only been two founder-spam emails I've received that I ever followed up on, and one of them landed me a feature in The Atlantic and an interview on NPR.

I got an email from a guy who was launching a PR startup, which basically helped founders create relationships with journalists via cold email outreach. I was very early stage and figured it was worth a shot (I think they had a free trial).

I used the platform to email several dozen technology-oriented journalists. Although most of them did not email back, James Hamblin from The Atlantic did. He really liked our innovation, which partially overlapped with his medical reporting beat (our tool makes reading more cognitively efficient, both for neurotypical readers and those with dyslexia, ADHD, or other challenges).

It took a couple months of follow up, but he eventually wrote a solo feature about BeeLine Reader in The Atlantic. [1] The next morning I got an email from a producer on a nationwide NPR show, [2] who heard about us through The Atlantic. It was an amazing couple weeks, and we have benefitted greatly from being able to point to these pieces as social proof in the years since.

The lessons for me were:

• it's a numbers game — you have to reach out broadly to get any leads

• even when a journalist is interested, it will still typically take months to get something written

• there is momentum in media, so try to get follow-on coverage if you are able to get that first hit

• once in a blue moon, founder-spam is actually worth reading

Hi, I'm the CEO of Life360 and we recently bought Tile. We run on 13% of all iPhones in the US, and have Android coverage, and we are turning on our network to scan for Tile devices. We will have much closer parity to iOS very soon - in fact it is already happening.

We do not use wifi - as to other commenters it is bluetooth only, but we have some other big plans in the works.
A few decades. Those pits are supposed to be pretty pure plutonium. Though it is something like the 'sell by' date on your milk. You open it up and think, is it really gone bad?
When a two-week MOOC became not enough in our industry?
"Boo outgroup" partisan fluff aside, nobody actually genuinely believes that. And the powers of US president, while great, are nowhere near the dictatorial powers of Chinese Communist Party and its General Secretary. It doesn't mean US federal government isn't grotesquely overpowered (it is) or partisans don't abuse legal and regulatory system for partisan purposes (they regularly and routinely do) - but it's not nearly close to the system China has where anybody who crosses the Party will be murdered or imprisoned or pushed outside of the country without any recourse. We do have some elements of these system, but on that road, we are still way behind China - and maybe we have time to turn back, if we wanted to.

Since you're asking if scale should influence our attitude, consider the following sentence: "I could have called an ambulance for my severely injured neighbor, but I gave up when I checked the numbers and saw that 70 million people would die this year regardless." I'm not saying these scenarios are equivalent, but I do think there are scenarios where considering absolute numbers is irrelevant or absurd. Going for the low hanging fruit can be better than doing nothing.
I haven't (yet) read the article, but I will. But the headline...

> Optimizing compilers reload vector constants needlessly

...is absolutely true. I wrote some code that just does bit management (shifting, or, and, xor, popcount) on a byte-level. Compiler produced vectorized instructions that provided about a 30% speed-up. But when I looked at it... it was definitely not as good as it could be, and one of the big things was frequently reloading/broadcasting constants like 0x0F or 0xCC or similar. Another thing it would do is to sometimes drop down to normal (not-SIMD) instructions. This was with both `-O2` and `-O3`, and also with `-march=native`

I ended up learning how to use SIMD intrinsics and hand-wrote it all... and achieved about a 600% speedup. The code reached about 90% of the performance of the bus to RAM which was what I theorized "should" be the limiting factor: bitwise operations like this are extremely fast and the slowest point point was popcount which didn't have a native instruction on the hardware I was targeting (AVX2). This was with GCC 6.3 if I recall, about 5 years ago.
Can you share which companies these are?
I agree that the only person who should be prosecuted criminally in these cases is the one who committed the felonies, but the question is about whether people should have civil liability. Those are two very different legal standards, and the bar for civil liability is a lot lower. It doesn't really seem like people are discussing this aspect at all in this thread (not just you, but this seemed like a relevant place to bring up the point). I don't feel like I have a strong enough grasp of the legal issues at hand to have a strong opinion about whether there should be civil liability in these cases, but I'm not at all convinced that "someone else is more responsible" is a good counterargument, since there's no reason that multiple parties could be liable.
Fair point. Thanks for explaining.

Minority unions undermine the collective bargaining that underpins the very concept of a union. They make no sense to me, at all. The whole point of a union is having a large enough block of workers committed to act together that the company is forced to either negotiate or perish. This obviously works when you have all the workers unionized, as a company without employees can achieve nothing at all. As the union gets a smaller and smaller fraction of the workforce, however, their bargaining power diminishes dramatically.

United Launch Alliance has been awarded probably a couple of orders of magnitude more than that over the past two decades, yet the difference in technology advancement rate with SpaceX is staggering (and don't get me started about the bottomless pit of stupidity that is/was Roscosmos). I would say that the "CIA buddy" thing cannot possibly be the only explanation.

I cannot comment about Gwynne Shotwell; I lack the corresponding knowledge. I can only note that if Elon Musk is a completely mediocre person, he still must be doing something right because the world is full of mediocre people who achieve much less than he has, and I don't believe in blind luck.
We don't disagree.....Doreen and I are chatting about some alternative approaches here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33881262

Fundamentally, we seem to be unable to consider whether our approach is wrong, never mind where we're going to get the money.

And as for me: I do not believe this to be an accident, and I do not believe it to be only those dirty Republicans / religious people: I think western culture itself is a fucking disaster that needs to be rewritten from the ground up.

You could go even further with the Apple II reference manual (the Red Book)

Yes I did. Two hospitals being fined nearly two years ago != enforcing all hospitals posting full price lists.

You don't just "send a message" once, you fine hospitals not compliant, period. We do this for other regulations.

So at this rate maybe in 2040 most hospitals will post their prices, maybe. If everyone feels like following / enforcing the law.

Also, did you read the guidelines?

I wonder if people are reading the article too, the problem isn't even that they're killing animals, it's that they're killing more than their research requires because of unreasonable external pressure?

ASML is the very high end, but there are many other manufacturers as well. Canon and Nikon both make lithography systems used in many wafer fabs.
Yep, exact same threat, yawn!

Though it truth I think the news publishers benefit a lot from the search engines and social media. A number of years ago Google excluded a couple news sites that complained loudly and filed lawsuits - after a couple months they were begging to be indexed again. If it were me I'd grant the news organizations their wish then make them pay every time someone read one of their news articles.
Keep in mind that unions in Europe are not the same thing as US unions, despite the same name.

In Europe there are multiple unions you can join for an employer. This competition keeps them working well.

In the US it's a single union per employer, and if the employer has one, you are forced to join it (and in some states you can decline to join, but still be required to pay fees). This causes lots of problems with corruption, and the union is more interested in their goals, than yours.
Yes. I get where you’re going, but someone from HR also signed with their own name on my job contract. I wasn’t working for someone at HR. The company hired me.

increasing wages, workplace safety, and benefits for workers is something productive.
Probably because they're trying to push the "Apple Music Sing" branding, even though everyone will call it karaoke anyways.

Apple announces upgrade to App Store pricing, adding 700 new price points
The problem with this is that the webfinger spec allows additional parameters (e.g. "rel"), so if you do this you violate the spec.

(EDIT: Actually given it does a full regex match it might work; though it'll return supersets of the intended results if rel= constraints are preset, and possibly break if the rel= argument is put after the "resource=" in the URL so would need refinement; of course it depends on using a server which allows arbitrary regex based rewrites, which rules out a lot of object storage etc.)

It may happen to work for some clients some of the time, until it suddenly doesn't.
I mean... FSD has rolled out to every vehicle in North America that bought the feature. It's definitely not perfect, but it's getting better every update. Yes the timelines have been much longer than Musk claimed, but you can watch tons of YouTube videos of the cars driving themselves. Failure seems to be less and less likely as time goes on.
Yeah and to compact it, you need more mass than on earth because gravity is lower. Or you somehow compact it between two pistons that can provide lots of force and not be limited by gravity.
Cities now compete for people, instead of corporations. This is a net positive.

If cities want to do civilizational-destroying activities like not prosecuting shoplifting or eliminating cash bail, then they can suffer the consequences of not having any residential tax revenue.

While the gray (especially the matte finish) might cause less specular reflection, any color that makes the car stand out better against the background would improve a light camera's ability to detect and track the object. Given a typical gray and green background, a distinctive color (e.g. yellow, bright red, purple) would make the car stand out most (just the way it does to the human eye). (BTW, I work in the image analysis and object detection space.)
While this might be right for overall humanity, for white collar professional workers specifically (typical audience of HN), I think late 20's / early 30's is a pretty good time to have kids - people have a solid 10 years of career experience under their belt, proportional amount of savings which help with both a financial cushion and with down payment for a house and some emotional maturity. On the other hand, one can get all sorts of experiences in 20's and their novelty starts wearing off. Finally, one is still young enough to have enough energy for child rearing.
Where / when was this? Living in Scandinavia, this was not my experience at all - as a kid we went through a number of used cars - Lada, Mazda, even a VW Beetle - and while the Beetle was definitely more of a summer car (heating would have been nice!), I never heard of a car being terribly worse off because of snow.

Or maybe stop worrying about theoretical macro trends and go build something valuable right now?
Arguably, skill wise things never really stop being a race in general.

150 years ago, decent literacy alone made you managerial material. 50 years ago, people were in the middle class screwing nuts on bolts. Today, literacy alone qualifies you for nothing and if you are illiterate, your prospects are dim indeed. Manual skill manufacturing is a minimum wage (or below minimum wage) job offshore. Typing used to be a middle class skill for women.

Imagine being a dev 20 years ago. I think many would be scared of not having work in a world where you can stand up beautiful reactive sites and deploy them worldwide in a day. AWS, React, GitHub actions, etc. All could be reasons for predicting mass unemployment.

Instead, there are more of us than ever.

I am talking about how an equality-promoting system can be justified because I see that as desirable. In doing so I am showing that Paul Graham's view is not the only valid view about what people "deserve".

Yeah, I switched from a Shield to the prior gen of Apple TV 4K in part because the Shield was often laggy as hell (also the UI layout was a mess, also the damn ads, also it was significantly buggier) and AFAIK that's about the most powerful non-Apple box on the market. ATV's way better on that front. Frankly a low-end-but-not-quite-bottom-end Roku machine feels snappier and more-reliable than the Shield did (though not as good as the Apple TV)
I learned like this too, though not quite so extreme. I was going to be somewhere with my laptop but no internet for about a week so I printed off an at-the-time popular strategy guide called something along the lines of "the absolute beginners guide to dwarf fortress". This was before the wiki existed! Anyhow, it worked out, as my build order still is vaguely reminiscent of what was in that guide, more than 10 years ago.

Cars are a lot cheaper nowadays per feature then 50 years ago.

For example just adding air conditioning to a normal family sedan back then would cost the equivalent of $10000 USD nowadays.

If your fine with paying $10000 for an air conditioner, $20000 for an electric driver's seat, another $20000 for an electric passenger seat, $10000 for heated seats, $30000 for ventilated seats, etc... then I'm sure manufacturers would be more than willing to supply a transistor level diagram.

This is the first visual IDE to edit React Typescript code. Even code you created outside of it.

You can run it on an existing project, and start creating pull requests to your existing code.
as long as the project fits our supported technologies.

The other tools you mentioned create code, but cannot edit existing code.

This becomes a real problem when a developer changes this exported code, which causes conflicts when someone edits it in the editor.

We edit the code directly, with visual changes translated into code changes, letting developers and designers collaborate on code and through pull requests.
And the plastic desk fan probably lasts for years anyway.

Show HN: Publish from GitHub Actions using multi-factor authentication
The backstory about this GitHub Action:

I discussed with an open-source maintainer why they publish npm packages from their local machine and do not use CI/CD pipelines.

They said publishing should require human intervention and want to continue using multi-factor authentication to publish to the npm registry.

This led to building the wait-for-secrets GitHub Action. It prints a URL in the build log and waits for secrets to be entered using a browser. Once entered, the workflow continues, and secrets can be used in future steps.

The latest release of "eslint-plugin-react" to the npm registry used a one-time password (OTP) from a GitHub Actions workflow!

> The housing first strategy only works of a critical mass of communities participate.

It works for people whose main problem is lack of housing. It doesn't work with people who have other serious problems, all that happens is the house gets burned out and has to be constantly refurbished (so costs are around $100k/year per hard case housed).
Conversely this Chinese government(?) viewpoint miss-interprets western values in that it’s possible to both be supportive of and critical/protest one’s government at the same time.

And actually it’s one’s civic duty to help improve the government. What country is perfect? It’s odd to say a country is perfect or because a government accomplished a lot in the pastcitizens should be content and stop expecting further improvements.
