All relationships are transactional. Most relationships do not have enduring value. It's ok whatever you decide. I've never worked professionally as a developer. I'm certain I would hate it. Despite this, the pay remains alluring.

Long-term success (satisfaction) is about balance. Maybe there's an opportunity to work less to allow you to explore your wants/needs/path. A short-term change might help you find value in your work or in another industry/company/niche.
I'm still excited about things that innovate. iPhones using satellites for emergency calls is awesome. USB-C/Power Delivery is awesome! The Samsung Fold and Flip are interesting and I'm looking forward to them being refined. Colour eInk is cool. Teensy is cool. The ridiculously good AI-powered cameras in smartphones are exciting. The Nothing Phone and the Framework are also quite innovative.

But your bog standard slab phone has barely changed over the last 5-6 years. In the past the features came in thick and fast - quick charging, wireless/reverse charging, better cameras, much better batteries, multi-touch, waterproof, OLED hi-res screens, more storage... but now the changes are much smaller and more incremental, it's natural to be less excited about them. For example, the practical jump between 3G and 4G was much bigger than between 4G and 5G. I just don't find it exciting at all.
Agreed. Personally I'm fine with cultural imperialism if it means _less slavery_.

Not all cultures are equal.
I just clicked and all of the computers for sale on that page appear to cost between $200 and $460, even for older ones.

Better than buying brand-new perhaps but not what I would call a great deal and certainly not a replacement for a pi4 in terms of price and power consumption.
can you elaborate ? This has imho nothing to do with social media. I check hackernews daily, I pick articles (or discover new tools ...) that spark my curiosity and I read them, period.

Sometimes I engage and exchange with other people, leave my opinion etc ... This is nothing close to what Facebook, Instagram and co are up to ...

Please explain.
It's been a few years and, at one point, they were doing renovations but I've definitely hung out in the Rose Reading Room at the NYPL in the past. And there's nothing on the NYPL's current site to suggest it's not open for just sitting and reading.
Turns out good documentation doesn't help anyone if they can't buy the thing eh?
Right. I'm saying though, it's not just the initial state of less slack in their system due to hub and spoke versus point to point. It's also that other airlines were more realistic about backing off flights earlier and more aggressively as a reaction to the developing info on the storm.
> I will admit French highway service stations do have fairly clean and free bathrooms.

I recently told my children how it was like to take the highway during summer time about 40 years ago when I was a kid.

They had all kind of entertainment, large tents for families with babies (and free diapers). There also was a sort of large national game for children where they would "hunt the spoils" - get points for actions that reduced fuel use (opening windows, checking tires pressure, etc.)

There are no more such things today, the areas are just overcrowded - but I agree that they are very well organized.
Because of Power Law. The S Curve. Things are still improving, but they dont mean as much. In 2010s there were many obvious improvement, better 4G network and Modem, Better Screen, not just higher PPI but colour accuracy and even OLED. Faster SoC when things were slow. Better WiFi, Better Battery, Camera. etc.

Now you will need to at least wait 3-4 years to upgrade to see the WoW factor ( mostly in Camera ).

What is in the list of improvement?

QNED? but the difference isn't as drastic as LCD to OLED. Especially when its main improvement is its longevitiviyty.

SoC, would doubling the ST and MT performance really makes much difference to your phone experience. I.e When was it CPU bound?

5G SA, and WiFi 7. Most of these wouldn't be much from a single user experience, your mainly benefits are in capacity constrain situation. Important and Nice to have but it isn't your 3G to 4G upgrading experience.

Camera. -

The biggest hardware innovation that is left on Smartphone is battery.

Most people don’t understand how bad “average” is.

It’s true that a bad hire has a large impact. But people assume this means the folks like you’re describing. When not taking money into account I view those types of people as net neutral.

A good litmus is to answer the question “would the team be any better off if we replaced them with no one”, and usually the answer is “no” or at least close to it.

Factoring money in does change things. Especially for smaller companies. But even then people overestimate what “bad” means when they cite the massive impact of a bad hire
I don't think this should be the focus.

Slavery is abolished in the west and currently existing slavery should be a primary focus-- whether it's a western company participating in a possible slave market, or Saudi participating in it-- such entities and individuals must obviously be destroyed, and immediately.

How we deal with morality and history is a separate question and of less interest.

In the Netherlands, we kind of have such systems. There are online videos from previous years, so it is not mandatory to attend the class in person. All assignments are project-based and needs to submitted online.
So during some semesters, students can be anywhere to finish the study if they want.
> there are actually online marketplaces, similar to how Amazon is for goods, to sell humans!

This should be easy to prove. Closest I can think of is some Telegram groups you might find in places like Syria, but that hardly warrants the Amazon comparison.

It's quite obvious that for years that crypto has geared towards more centralization and it always has been like that and it certainly includes both Bitcoin and Ethereum which have become centralization. There is no true decentralized aspect about crypto.

> I think that Coinbase does understand decentralization and knew Solana was centralized, so listing a centralized coin shows that they're not committed to decentralization.

Why exactly would a centralized crypto exchange care about decentralization?

It has always been a buzzword to get crypto maxis to HODL at high prices and traders, crypto exchanges and VCs to dump on retail.
There's definitely a movement towards simplicity, adjacent to the movement towards complexity. For example Phoenix LiveView, which provides a SPA-like experience to the user while keeping the logic server-side. Making a beautiful, rich web application is definitely simpler than ever, as long as you pick your tools correctly. On the other hand, working in a company with hundreds of engineers, the job is probably harder than ever, as there is a lot of over-engineering going on and you need a ton of knowledge about so many different tools.

Large teams tend towards complexity and it's understandable and frustrating at the same time.
I hadn't experienced an outright outage yet. But just yesterday I got the "something went wrong" message when tweeting, twice in a row. It feels a bit like flying Arroflot now that they can't get spare parts.
You're contradicting yourself. I was addressing what you wrote:

> My guess is that their customer service agreement gave FTX full rights

The answer is no. The terms of service did not give FTX full rights to use the assets, which is the whole point here.

Whether people read the TOS or not doesn't matter, since FTX violated them.
SkySolver is a total shit show no doubt, but it’s not the entirety of the problem. Keep in mind when you have disruptions you actually have multiple products. SkySolver only manages the crew. They have another system that manages the aircraft and flight schedule. Believe it or not these systems are mostly decoupled - the schedule is modified first, then the crew, and there may even be a feedback loop back to the schedule if there is no crew solution.

Multiple things can be true here.

Sorry, I'm not watching a two hour YouTube video to figure out what point you're making. Suicide is a serious concern and we should certainly take more steps to be civil online, but there's also never a singular simple reason for why someone made that decision.
In some ways everything we do is communication, everyone has a built in need to be loved, to be part of a group.
I feel like the scoring of the vulnerabilities is the issue here. If the 50
ReDoS and Prototype Pollution vulnerabilities in Webpack (or other developer tool that only ever touches my code and my configs) were scored low severity, I would probably happily ignore them. But they keep popping up with High or Critical severities, with claimed "Network" attack vectors, which nobody can possibly imagine..

Some of them show up as severity 9.8/10 in GitHub vulnerability alerts and then you try to find out more details about them and it turns out it's actually non-exploitable (example here: https://github.com/webpack/loader-utils/issues/212#issuecomm... )

Okay but we agreed it was wrong and basically forced the Aztecs to stop sacrificing people to their sun god. I don’t think you’ll find a sane individual today advocating for child sacrifice to make sure the sun comes up in the morning. The Aztecs certainly would have preferred to keep being on top and brutalizing the other tribes around them. Is this a lack of cultural diversity? When do we stop respecting cultural diversity and step in to do what we believe to be the right thing?

It’s not that complicated.

If you like it (HN for example), then it’s not social media.

For reference: this book is obviously a (praiseworthy) ambition to have a Greek counterpart to the Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata[1] by Hans Ørberg.

Ørberg's way of teaching Latin is, in my view, excellent because it is based on a
natural view of learning a language: show something, say what its name is, use its
name in simple sentences, work up from there. Each time introducing new words
surrounded by already-known ones and letting the pupil figure it out. All in the target language itself,
exactly how we acquired our mother tongues. Vocabulary is acquired
through repetition, grammar is acquired through "getting a feel for what sounds right".
Using the brain's own mechanisms for deducing meaning and deriving rules.

The book is definitely going to need illustrations, just like in LLPSI[2]. Hard to understand what
'πόλις' means per se, but not if I take you up a mountain and point at [3] while saying "πόλις".

Sure, but that still doesn’t make Vietnam’s 8% growth surprising either. We can agree it’s a high variance and unprecedented environment.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is a lobbying group, why would this be surprising to anyone? They have no official government function.

Edit: It appears I am wrong, and it is not just a lobbying group. They also issue the licensing needed to sell diet advice in many states.

So, when looking at Airflow some time ago it looked like it was good at 'fixed workflows', something like, fetch last day's data from a website, process then load it at the DB

But it seemed it was bad at more flexible ones, like, load data, then process each entry in a certain way, then trigger a new workflow based on each entry (like send an email to every entry on the data fetched based on some condition)

Does Temporal does this?
I have three Rasperry Pi. One of them is the original model that they made first. That one I don’t use currently because it’s a bit slow. Well they are all slow, but the first one especially so.

The two other Raspberry Pi that I have are Model 3B+. On one of these I run Raspbian. On the other one I run FreeBSD.

I would like to buy a few more Rapsberry Pi, but they are not so easy to come by.

I would especially like to buy the following:

- Raspberry Pi 4

- Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4)

If anyone has one or more RPi 4 or RPi CM4 that they are not using, I would be interested to buy them so that I can put them to use. I have an address in Norway, and an address in Spain. So if anyone in any countries nearby (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Spain, France, Germany, Portugal, etc) have some RPi 4 or RPi CM4 that they are not using and willing to part with for a reasonable price, please let me know :)

I wondered if Tom would include the streets that are long staircases, and, starting at the 10 minute point, he does.

I have tried a "Manhattan nondeterministic run" a couple of times. The rules are simple: do not cross streets except where and when permitted by the crosswalk signs, and then you must cross. In practice, strict adherence to the "don't start crossing on flashing signs" rule leads to there being many times when you go around the same block more than once, and I am not suggesting one should do otherwise.

I've been making the switch from Windows 10 over to Linux Mint (ubuntu based)).

Bog standard recommendation:
- backup your data

OK, just as a check to see if I'm following this thread: we have a theorem, wlog A implies B, and we'd like a proof.

A motivated proof would say A implies foo, and foo implies bar, and bar implies B, where foo and bar are small expressions using concepts common to the theory we're working with.

A searched proof would say A implies broguefleagle (so broguefleagles exist) and broguefleagle implies B, where broguefleagle is some odd expression that doesn't seem to occur anywhere else within the practise of this theory (a "rabbit out of a hat")?

I don't have any business side projects or anything that earns money but my motivation fluctuates like the author of this article.

I am super grateful for Python, Java, JavaScript, C, Rust, Flask, Firefox, Google Chrome, the Java Virtual Machine, Google's V8 engine, GCC, Postgresql, Clang and other open source projects. They allow me to write software and get paid money in jobs. And they're completely free. So good.

People like choosing what they work on and what they spend their time on. But there's business necessity that means we often need to do tasks we secretly don't want to do. Or feel forced to work on technology we don't agree with.

I think it is unfortunate that amazing products go the financial path and then lose their energy and become monetisation over quality or passion such as Heroku But I said that we cannot force people to work on things we want them to.

I feel we need to determine the properties of a product that guarantee monetisation AND quality and passion of its developers.

Are Jetbrains the example of this?
Owning pitbulls is irresponsible. They're very close to wild animals. The characteristics of the breed make them excellent attack dogs.

Pitbulls are natural born killers. Once something triggers their instincts, they kill. Training and abuse has nothing to do with it. With pitbulls, you don't train violence in, you have to train it out. The average person is more or less incompetent, especially at owning killer animals.
It’s definitely wrong a lot, but that doesn’t matter since it usually points me in the right direction at least. And in some cases, I can tell it that it’s wrong and it will try again and give a better result.

And connect with other people, feel catharsis, to feel less alone, loved, engaged, interested, and the other things that make us human. AI will not give us that and in fact undermine that. Perhaps then AI will push back to the "real world" for these interactions, as the article opines.
Uncharitable reading: People are getting fatter and more sedentiary, lowering the normal body temperature. More than ever, we need a distinction between normal and healthy.
Indeed. Most of the time I don't even bother to read the usernames of people I'm interacting with — or just glance at them briefly to separate the voices in any given thread. The comments here, for me, are about their content and their place within the context of the article linked and the following discussion, not who wrote them.

Social media is all about following people or interests and having the platform tailor an algorithm for you in order to present you with a unique view of their data. Hacker News has none of that.

It makes me wonder: what if the solutions you have in mind do exist out there, but simply as open source projects with zero eyeballs on them? What if there are dozens upon dozens of them, each solving a class of problems but in a slightly different way?

In terms of organizing work among huge groups of people, I don't think any of the above possibilities would be feasible for an industry. We already complain about having just a handful of frameworks to choose from.
People worry too much about temperature/fever, if you have efever (clearly) caused by infection anything below 40.6C is fine and safe and fever reducing drugs are just to make you more comfortable, but they don't really lower any danger.

My Instagram feed is curated because it’s entirely for cat images and cat rescues, which for better or worse, there’s an over abundance of on the internet, so Instagram will never really need to start putting random depressing stuff on my feed.

Everything else I’m off of.

A necessary first step for my social media detox was deleting the apps. I started by only accessing them through the browser, so I wasn’t fully cut off, but I also didn’t have the fully curated experience that allows the social media platforms to really take over your senses.

Waze has always been the driving equivalent of "knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing" app, IME. It'll take me through weird neighborhood streets that see (and probably SHOULD see) very little traffic to "save" 0.1 mi on a trip, ending with a cross-traffic uncontrolled turn costing me 3, 5, 8 minutes.

I like it for intra-town commutes where I know where I'm going already and just want to possibly try something new, but if I've never been to a place before or want the "works best 80% of the time" route, maps all the way.

YMMV.
