Wow, that's an insane software design choice.

edit: looks like there's support for Miracast over Ethernet at least in Windows: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/surface-hub/miracast-over-...
I agree that it is an exaggeration to call it the greatest pieces of engineering of our time. Still there are many technologies that are well liked but haven't developed in many years. There are many technologies that are here today but severely limited. And there are many technologies which promises potential for something better in the future. There are very few pieces of software that are here today and ticks a lot of the boxes of computer science. That are open source, cross-platform, extensible and has a modern stack.

> browser engines (unfortunately)

I often wish it wasn't so but the reality is that a shit ton of development has gone into browsers and in many cases other areas just aren't comparable. Even more so considering most resources go into proprietary technologies.

> reverse engineering proprietary hardware/firmware

As as side note reverse engineering hardware can certainly be very hard. It is also something that can gather far more credit than it probably should compared to actually engineering a solution in the first place.
It is not a weak standard lib and nobody is making excuses. Your mental mapping doesn't apply here, look into how it works if you are interested as it is different from what you are used to.

By looking at the other comments, I see the seemingly unavoidable discussion over which is the best text editor/IDE. My opinion on the matter is the following: the best text editor/IDE(/many other tools) doesn't exist. What exists is the best tool for you. Each one of us has it's own opinion based on its personal experience, and it's baked by arguments that stem out of what we find most important in those tools. The problem arises when, after picking what is the best tool for me, I forget about the last two words and it becomes the best tool. Each one of us is the most productive when it's using its own favorite tool, but it doesn't mean that if I convince someone else to switch to my preferred tool, then that person will be more productive. Each one of us has to see for him/herself which tool suits him/her best. It is fine if we suggest other people to try our tools for some reasons, but it makes little to no sense to argue that our favorite tool is objectively the best one.
Yes. Most people think it wouldn't work.

Why does a website need more than one :hover rule?
Its frustrating because my immediate response to people like Musk in my day to day life is to ignore them at all costs. This is a largely successful strategy in person.

My strategy collapses however when the belligerent is able to buy a whole platform and then become a perpetual victim on that platform.

Worse, mastodon has fallen short for me as an escape hatch. The activity just isn't there.
All this is doing is parsing StackOverflow and other sources and compiling information using machine learning (sometimes completely incorrectly), and if that's saving you time because you do that a lot then that's genuinely great, it's an amazing tool. But the idea that a tool that scrapes StackOverflow is going to significantly replace programming jobs is frankly ludicrous.

Everything that ChatGPT does can be done manually. There are weak programmers who essentially piece things together from StackOverflow and other sources all day, and just brute force "make it work". Did the emergence of StackOverflow replace programming jobs? No way, there are actually far more programming jobs now then there were when StackOverflow
was founded. The reason is simple:

> If you want to create complex production software and grow and maintain it long term, it's simply not enough to copy and paste from the internet.

So therefore a machine that does exactly the same thing can't either. Go and build a complex ERP system using only ChatGPT answer, just try it. It will be a steaming pile of shit, riddled with technical debt. You won't be able to build a good business from the result.

Right now even if you use ChatGPT you inevitably need to be a developer to fix it's errors, so it's currently replacing exactly ZERO developers.

When we have AI that can logically reason about code, along with the business context it's being applied to, then it will significantly replace programming jobs. We're absolutely nowhere near that, ChatGPT doesn't even sniff anywhere near doing that.

Personally, I can't even remember the last time I went on StackOverflow to find answers about something, and there's enough false positives where reading documentation is far preferable to asking ChatGPT about how something works. So currently for me ChatGPT doesn't save any time, I do use Copilot though.
All counsel these days, from 'devops' or 'sre' bodies of knowledge is: development and operations are two sides of the same system, they should be integrated better. Companies: got it, create new title/team, in charge of this integration. Seriously?

I work as an SRE and while I agree with the "list of questions" as a general template for collaboration, I strongly disagree with the point that developers "own" the applications.

If you work in the same company, you all own the application. The customers don't care that you're "only" the SRE, or "only" the sales guy. This type of attitude is toxic and should be challenged categorically.

If you, the SRE, do not have the information needed (i.e. the "list of questions") then it's as much your responsibility to ask for it as it is the developers jobs to help you answer it.

If you feel that the company culture makes it impossible for you to create these necessary processes so that everyone have the information they need, you need to either work towards changing that culture or get a new job.

There are a couple of villages where Sanskrit is taught from birth.

Also most schools have Sanskrit as an optional subject (its not very popular in the modern schools, but kids learn at least for 5 years)

Its impossible to navigate Indian life without hearing Sanskrit - whether it is in rituals, marriage ceremonies, TV shows, ads and often even school prayers.

People keep adding whole tmp/ directories or output binaries to repositories, accidents like this stuff just happening. It is not a workflow, but for a scenario: people trying to run some test, on real service, to debug some weird issue, will temporary put credentials and forget to remove them before comiting the fix. Sure, someone probably will notice it in code review but it is too late if repo was public.
> We combine OSM with other sources to produce new open map data sets.

I worry that they will proceed to claim that it means that they do not need to actually attribute OSM. Well, Facebook for example is already violating OSM license by hiding attribution in places where normal user will never see it - even typical HN user may not click on this hidden button on FB maps.
Yea, it's uncanney valley, sure. For now.

With Stable Diffusion and similar generative systems we have seen a leap in generative art/media, partially with significant improvements within a few months. What makes you think this was the last or only leap in the next 5 to 10 years? As if progress would just stop here? Huh?!

Do you think we hit a ceiling were progress is only tangential? A line which is impossible to cross? Otherwise I dont get this mindset in the face of these modern generative AI systems popping up left and right.

Fun fact - Twitter spans the world and many parts of the world aren't filled with Anglo names.
Personally I still think Google Plus got a lot of things right. It was a very pleasant place where people had real, meaningful discussions, and was quite unlike Facebook or Twitter. Nothing else I've tried since its disappearance had quite the same sense of content and community.

What exactly made it so different is hard to say. Was there something about the way you organised your friends into circles? You could share things either publicly or to specific circles, or to your "extended circles", which meant all your circles, and it was readable to their circles too I think, but it still wasn't completely public.

But it could also simply have been the kind of crowd it attracted. Maybe it was helped by the fact that it wasn't the biggest. It also had a ton of extra features (agenda and hangout integration) that a lot of people loved, but unfortunately Google kept messing with that.

Of course it was still corporate, and a real social network needs to be open source and federated, like the Fediverse. Maybe another thing to consider is: is ActivityPub a suitable protocol? Does it do everything we need? Does the sharing between conceptually completely different social media on the Fediverse work well?
> I don't get why SRE is a job

I've met CTOs that would agree with you. I no longer work with any of them.
> less pollution

Did you read the part in the article about "super commuters"? I used to have about a 4 hour commute when I lived in the bay area. All the cars and gridlock cause a lot of pollution. If the area had built up and built more urban islands where you can go for a week or more without really needing to get in a car, then there would have been less pollution.

> less crowding and noise

If you don't like crowds, go live in the suburbs, but don't force the entire damn region to be one big suburb.

> less crime

What makes you think that? A lot of crime is driven by poverty and desperation. Density allows a greater variety of housing to be available, which reduces poverty.

> more nature

Why? Hong Kong is one of the densest cities in the world, but it's surrounded by nature.

> cleaner

Tokyo is another of the densest cities in the world, and is purportedly spotless. There is literally an "SF poop map" [0].

> If you want me to take responsibility, my team should be managing the service end to end.

This. I really do not enjoy being called up in the middle of the night to walk a group of people that know absolutely nothing about the system through the steps they need to resolve the issue, because nobody wants to give the “dev” team access to the production environment.

I think the solution that best aligns incentives is the one where the people introducing issues are also the ones called up (and able) to fix them.
SpaceX was founded by Musk, he is the CEO, CTO, chairman of the board, owns 47% of the stock and has voting control of the board.

You seriously believe he allows a team of people to act as an intermediary between him and the company, yesman and nod to him, then go and do their own thing?

Step back for a second and consider how incredibly unlikely this scenario is. Try and put another successful billionaire and the company they founded into a hypothetical, and tell me it's realistic.
Severance as in a 'voluntary' payment by employers is a US thing that I don't understand. Do you mind explaining why it gets paid at all?

In the UK, it's common for employers to have contractual obligation to pay a notice period, and for longer term employees they are legally obliged to be firing them on capacity or redundancy grounds - so it is common to pay some severance in order to pay the employee to resign themself and sign some legal paperwork saying it's okay.

I don't get why employers pay extra money "just to be nice" where there isn't some legal reason to do it...?
> Google's dominance in this space is not due to pure mapping data (although that also seems to be the best in the world)

That depends on type of data and area, in many cases OSM data is superior or as good (or as bad) as Goggle data.

For POIs and car-centric info in rich countries Google clearly dominates, for hiking and cycling data OSM is much better and so on.

Founder, CEO, controller of the board. I can't think of a single person who has all of these titles at another company that people think deserve no credit.
Huh. It feels like their overall goal was "to start a start-up".

I'll admit, I'm used to stories of "I saw problem X, so I founded Y".

But I like their approach of iterating on problems to offer a solution for.

Especially, as the author of WinRAR is no doubt very aware of, people do prefer their problems solved for free, so if you're getting paid, you've found that gap, nice :)
The difference is that on many consumers stores you have a much higher percent of impulse shopping, that actually increases revenue with some amount of time wasting. PMs can use that as justification to add all sorts of frustrating patterns that actually lose money in the long-run.

Actually not true - after Panini came into the picture, the preservation of the "purity" continued for centuries, the decline of Sanskrit came due to successive invasions from the Middle East, and the stigma associated with casteism and other undesirable traditions associated with Sanskrit culture and history.

Even now you will find the nationalists and the leftists in India exagerrate the negatives and positives in popular media (of Sanskrit and ancient Indian culture)

When you start building an app that does anything more than what a typical website does – basic stuff like keeping some persistent files, drag and drop, notifications, minimize to tray, using threads, the html5 apis are widely insufficient, performs poorly or – in the case of webrtc – massively over-complicated). They’re (rightfully) designed for the browser with its ephemeral untrusted model.

It’s a shame, because cross platform app building, distribution and updates is a shitshow, even with electron, putting extra labor on the developers, so neither party is happy.

That said, some apps should really be web apps, but are still bundled as desktop apps purely for the frameless “premium” experience, and I assume to not be lost among 100s of tabs. It would be great if there was better browser support for allowing users to “install” web apps, but right now the support for that is pretty poor in terms of UX.

I'm not sure that would work for me. One of the things I like is actually making new friends. Google Plus was absolutely perfect for that: I got to know a lot of people with similar interests (hobbies, politics) to mine.

In fact, I'm not even connected to my real life friends on any social media, as far as I'm aware. Maybe they're not even on it. They may be wiser than I.
> [...] Copilot fizzled badly. (Full disclosure: I pay for Copilot because it is somewhat useful).

In what sense did Copilot fizzle badly? It's a tool that you incorporated into your workflow and that you pay money for.

Does it solve all programming? No, of course not, and it's far from there. I think even if improves a lot it will not be close to replacing a programmer.

But a tool that lets you write code 10x,100x faster is a big deal. I don't think we're far away from a world in which every programmer has to use AI to be somewhat proficient in their job.
Well, they were wrong.

This isn't the same question though. The ML models that were trying to beat Go were on the correct path, it was just a matter of improvement. It was inevitable that they would beat the game.

ChatGPT doesn't logically reason about code or business contexts. The developers of ChatGPT are not trying to do that, the developers don't know HOW to do that, not even slightly.

Until they're on that pathway it's not even a question: ML that very efficiently copies and pastes from StackOverflow is simply not going to significantly replace programming jobs. The question of how long is left until the AI replaces programmers is completely irrelevant right now.

Using Go/Chess analogy:

> If the game is to replace effective human programmers then the AI is not even playing the game yet, let alone X years away from beating it.
