So what you are saying is that when they started they required phone numbers? As in, what the commenter I was replying to wrote was not true? The 'footnote' in history seems pretty important when the whole point is that ignoring it leads you to assume things that are wrong.

Mazda did the research, and transitioned back to real tactile controls in 2019. I expect more automakers will be or are already following their lead.

How? It's mostly devoid of substance or any real insight or understanding. It's not a great comment just because you happen to agree with it. Just check out the Skip Intro video if you don't get it, it's like a 101 course on media as propaganda and the effects of media on cultural values.
I especially enjoy being able to write "unit tests". Since I tend to mess up my SQL, or some code change might taint the data in a way I can potentially expect (null values, for example), I can add some pretty high level checks like: "the sum of all order line items should match the sum of the prices of all line item products" which are built out of two separate data sources, and make sure my analytics stay in range. All checked into git.

I do agree that the iterative workflow could be a bit smoother, and the doc side of things is a bit rough. I expected the project to gain a higher velocity than it seems to have right now.
That would require the hiring staff being able to evaluate your contribution. Unlikely, unless the job you're interviewing for is interviewing because you made a useful contribution to a software that they use themselves.
Among teenagers and 20-somethings, there's a weird culture where they feel they are rebelling by accepting wholeheartedly the ideology they're being taught. It feels very different than earlier decades.

It’s a strong claim to suggest no evidence exists. Transgender people commonly claim certain emotions change, with some getting stronger and some smoothing out.

For my part, I had a sharp change two months ago when my estrogen dosage increased and we added progesterone to my routine. (One effect of these meds was to reduce my testosterone levels.) So that was not an aging or maturation related change because it happened in a month. I found it easier to cry and harder to get angry.
This is incredibly true for me.

I like problems, but mostly the technical ones. Starting programming young, loved computers and networking. Became a sysadmin.

Turns out that at work, the problems are often different to what I want to be solving. Approvals and process can be a real downer. Some problems are people problems and not technical problems at all. Waiting on somebody else to complete their part while you wait sucks. These are the things that burn me out.

At home, I am the approval process. Maintenance is whenever I think is reasonable. Don't like a service/app, throw it away. Found a new project, tinker away. Something is down, I'll get around to it.

Completely different.

Beyond a simple rejection, never expect any feedback; just move on.

> Before that happens, the whole world would need to be under continual observation.

I don't see any reason that is a necessary precondition for an evolving reliance on AI judgement. Though obviously there are potential interactions between surveillance ubiquity and that.

> Then the AI wouldn't be saying, "I think it's likely you did this", it would be saying, "Here's the video of you doing this".

Crimes tend to have elements that cannot be shown on a video, but which might be deemed likely based on a video, like knowledge and intent.

So, it will exactly be “I think oy is likely that you did this”.
I have a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat, and it operates to -13f, which would be unheard of in Western Oregon (where I live). So long as your house is well insulated, you'd likely be fine with a heat pump. Pay attention to R-Value for insulation, but if you choose the right materials, that goes a long way for heat storage.

I know there exceptions in Minnesota where it can get considerably colder than -13f, but I don't know how long those super low temps are sustained. You would definitely need some sort of emergency heating system. An outdoor propane tank (the larger variety) and a propane heater would likely do the trick as an emergency backup. Not great for air quality in your house, but plenty of people use that as their normal heating.
Autofilling Spreadsheets with AI
Great way to get experience with a bunch of languages quickly! It's not like you'd put these languages on your resume but you can gain a sense for what each one is like/how easily you'd be able to work in it for a project.

I likely wouldn't do this personally out of pure laziness but good on you!
I do. yes. But the latest stock firmware on that router is surprisingly stable and performant. Not a bad idea to do some burn-in testing with that to see if it meets your needs. If you need to tweak phy layer knobs like tx power etc, you'd have to switch but otherwise there's probably not a need for most folks.

Also, open driver support for broadcom chipsets is very lean, so getting openwrt to work on the wireless side is a bit of an effort. Doable, but definitely not simple out of the box.
I recently had a conversation with a colleague who mentioned:

“We can only be great at one thing. The rest we can only be good at.”

This doesn’t quite answer the question, but I think it’s related.
This is bad journalism.

It only tracks the incomes of percentiles - ignoring the fact that the composition of the percentiles changes - and without specifying if that's earned or total income...

This is how they came to the conclusion that only the 1% saw real wage gains - in spite of that being extremely misleading.

As a group of workers, some of the lowest paid service sectors like hotel workers and restaurant workers saw some of the biggest real wage gains [1, 2].

The article even acknowledges that the 0.1% is the only group that saw significant real wage gains. The composition of this group is highly volatile - as it's almost exclusively from capital gains.

Pretty much everyone except a lucky few are losing to wreckless government spending and needlessly low interest rates that caused malinvestment for 2 years.

But this comment will get downvoted because it goes against the narrative that the reason you don't own a yacht is because Bill Gates and the Billionaires are taking all your money instead of the government is taking 40%+ of your money (more the lower your income) and spending 50% more money on debt (causing inflation / your wages to get lower in real terms), and not having much to show for it... Oh, well.

I went on a road trip once with a person who was born and raised in a large city, and we drove out into the country just after a rainstorm. It was summer and we could smell the rain on green leaves and soil smell. She said, "what is that wonderful smell in the air? I've never smelled anything like this." It was a really cool experience to be there and sort of experience it for the first time vicariously.
Yeah, I think in theory I would say everyone should get a consumer level NAS with redundant disks, plus SyncThing between devices for important small stuff, and some kind of cloud solution for offsite.

But NASes are more than I want to spend and I've never used one, so I can't really suggest something I haven't tried.

I just do manual incrementals to an external drive, plus of course GitHub for all software related stuff.
we once had a little Ed script called "Offending" which would accept the ssh connection failure line

Offending key ...

and edit the failing key out of the known_hosts file.

extremely useful with bazillions of fresh virtual guests with well known static IP. you simply cut and paste the "Offending key" line into the shell and the ed script does it's magic.
It does not capture the pain we suffer there!
I'm glad that's not the behavior on a manual Miata, that would totally kill the prospects of heel-toe downshifting. ;)
The software that ran the "core business" of the company. The CEO and I decided to not hire an off-the-shelf solution, which would do everything that we wanted to do, but would put our data into the vendor's hands and we thought that it was not worth the risk. After all, we are gonna be huge and our data is our oil!

A few years later, our internal version of this software was crappy and our data was still not something that we could monetize. In the future, I'd refrain from being too cautious at the beginning when you are facing bigger risks that may not be sexy, but are very dangerous.
Yeah just chuck my one year old in the bin and focus on my yoga. Jesus christ some of the recommendations on this forum is infuriating.
The goal of the police is to have secure jobs with a decent salary and benefits, and ideally be meaningful in some way (could be promoting public safety... could be exerting power over others).

Often enforcing the law helps secure budgets (especially when it comes to enforcing drug laws with lucrative civil forfeiture seizures), but more recently many police departments have tried a different tactic when budgets have been threatened: actively refusing to enforce the law, in order to increase crime and prompt political change.
Fair enough, you seem to be well informed so we can just agree to disagree.

And thanks for mentioning metalua, I had never heard of it! I know some lua but I'm far from being an expert, nor have I used it in anything larger than a few hundred lines.

I'm not the biggest fan of Common Lisp either, I too prefer the Scheme side of things though I don't think we haven't reached the golden standard yet (in my mind it would be a Clojure-like functional Lisp with first class support for actors, that compiles to native code)
LOL, now that you bring up these absurd arguments (again), I remember you.

"they attempt to force Germany into certifying the new pipeline which would be a big win for Russia"
So Russia blew up its own pipelines to force Germany into certifying those pipelines?

"they get out of any contractual clauses they had about non supply of gas"
No one at the Kremlin cares about contracts that are easily invalidated by acts of war and illegal sanctions.

"they threaten a number of NATO countries energy infrastructure indirectly"
-So Russia blew up its own energy infrastructure delivery to Europe (that it spent 10 billion to build and would have earned lots from) to threaten energy infrastructure indirectly?

What planet do you live on?
I still encounter people who think a map of crime is an actual map of crime, like SimCity, and not a map of policing. They really do believe it reflects reality. Most times they snap out of it when you point out it's impossible to map crime without collected data, and then it's a short hop to realize policing is how you get that data. And any intellectually honest person will recognize the biases inherent to that data.
But without the module, it wouldn't be able to get real-time statistics for individual cores or logical processors, specific data from the kernel's performance counters, or some system-level statistics

I just started incrementally throwing views at our existing schema, mostly lifting SQL out of the code base and committing it to the dbt repository. From there, I started heavily annotating the columns, and starting to write unit tests for the views.

This uncovered a ton of hidden assumptions and dirty data which I either cleaned up, or manually flagged in the views (as in, skip the orders listed in this CSV file because they stem from the period of time where shipstation blablabla).

Since then I'm continuously adding to it, refactoring the macros as if they were code, and it really feels in line with the normal workflow of a developer.
There's people who use hammers because they have nails that need hammering, and there's people who use hammers because they enjoy hammering.

Just for context, people in scarface’s type of role can “out-TC” many platform/product engineers of the equivalent level, depending on how rewards are structured.

The downside that I’ve noticed is that field roles tend to be cut first in response to market weather/customer focus. But a skilled engineer doing field work is a valued commodity in general.

Great article, I really enjoyed it.

Given that you now know what it will be like if you get laid off again, have you changed anything about how you approach your non-work life? Things like non-work friends you hang out with, non-work activities that you do for fun, Etc. Sort of "if I'm laid off again, then I'll fill my days with interviewing and ..."

Glad you're back up and running and have processed the layoff!
Ask HN: Are there good certificates for Developers?
I once was a working student of a cybersecurity company. they required for each new hire to complete the famous OSCP certificate within 3 months.

they did that in order to make sure that their new hire is up for the task and probably because they can sell their services better to their clients.

Now I run a WebDev agency of my own with partly frontend-devs, backend-devs, fullstack-devs and DevOps guys - There are known cloud-native-foundation certificates for DevOps guys as well as certificates for the major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, etc), but I didnt find any good ones for lets say react or nodejs devs.

Since I want my employees to have a good coding standard/knowledge I thought of having such certificates for them as well, but I am still unsure whether its a good idea or rather a waste of time.

are they well received in the western world (We are from germany)?

does my favorite community has some thoughts on that topic?
I also didn't have kids and don't regret it. BTW I looked it up and the PA county I'm in is about $42K per capita income, highest in the state, so yeah don't move here lol.
I twice worked at companies that built authentication as part of their application (using open source libraries, not from scratch). It's a mistake, and a mistake that's very expensive to fix later. Even more expensive not to fix given the sensitivity of this area of software.

"conspiracy theories" best dismissed out-of-hand.

> "Scientist talks about existing data on the original virus, conspiracy theorist uses hindsight and information from variants that didn't even exist at the time to try to paint them as malicious"

In fact, "scientist makes bold claims they don't have the facts to back up. scientist ignores all prior data showing that vaccines don't work like that to overstate the importance of vaccination in order to push their agenda that everyone should be vaccinated. scientist presents a false narrative that the vaccine for coronaviruses (such as the common cold) is a one-shot procedure. scientist conveniently forgets to mention that viruses evolve. scientist in public position knowingly lies to constituents to push their agenda. people on the internet say `this is ok, it's for my own good. we should be grateful they're so willing to lie!`."

> Or it might out you as someone who has no idea, because you haven't provided any evidence that such a thing is serious and has any longer term effects, and all of those other things I've mentioned can cause the same issue, yet we don't scream about how aircraft travel is evil because it can disturb menstrual cycles.

Please do yourself a favor and talk with an actual woman about how the vaccine affected their cycle compared to airline travel. It's not even on the same page. Or, if that's too much for you, read one of the numerous studies that institutions other than the CDC have published. If you do go down the "talking to a real woman" approach, I recommend you then tell them how the problem isn't really that serious and even though a huge number of women went out of their day to report (to the CDC) severe pains for months following the jab, it's reasonable for the CDC to leave it completely off of their "known side effect of the vaccine" page. Even better, go around on the street and make a TikTok telling women how you know best. I'd pay money to see that.

To be concrete, I personally know multiple women who have both `had COVID`, `had the vax`, and `gotten menstruation issues from the vax that far exceeded all covid-induced issues in both timespan and severity`. They all wish they didn't get the vax at all, and have refused to get any boosters. It 100% does not help that the CDC will not admit that the vax can cause these issues, as it means two things: they don't report the feedback garnered from their "we care! tell us the side effects you encountered!" form, and they don't want to fix the problem.

> You've stitched together assertions, hyperbole and half-truths.

Hey, at least we both admit I have some truth on my side! All you've presented are feelings and the media's favorite talking points.

Top 8 Open Source Python Frameworks to Develop RPA
Two other factors to consider: 1) people grow and change and 2) working a job is very different than doing "the same" activity as a hobby.

I enjoy gardening and cooking as hobbies, but I don't want to work a job as a landscaper or line chef. After 20+ years of coding, I absolutely hate it despite having started out loving it, but I recognize that my cushy job is less hours for more pay than I could get doing anything else.
That and a lot of engineers are genuinely excited to build their own workflow engine - whether they call it that or not - because it’s complicated and it feels like they just discovered a brand new and powerful abstraction.

Tears follow when the team either doesn’t account for all the edge cases or doesn’t have the resources to address them.

I feel like authentication itself is probably straightforward, but there's a lot of boilerplate for account management that these services provide. Creating a new account, resetting a password, etc.

I'm thinking of firebase specifically. I'm using it for a website I'm building and I've spent very little time on integrating and using it. Quite less than it would take me to write the stuff myself.

> Well that installer cutoff was likely waaaaay too high. Your heat pump should be fine to 30F, maybe even 25F before needing gas

One possibility might be that the unit lacks de-icing circuitry. If that were cut for cost optimization, the unit would still work fine for cooling and for moderate-temperature heating, but anywhere near 30F it would ice up and stop working.

Avraham Eisenberg Charged with Fraud, Market Manipulation in DeFi
I survived the dot com crash (yes I'm old).

I have hired (interviewing team member, or hiring manager) hundreds of engineers.

If you are hearing "let me know if I can help" (number 5) you might be doing something wrong. You should be hearing some version of " I will talk to my boss" or "I will call for you" or "XXX person I know is looking".

I have a list of about 30 people who if they call me I'm going to go out of my way to get them a job. That means make a spot for them on my team. Or I will reach into the non overlapping parts of our networks to see if someone is hiring.

Im going to do this because they are good, because they don't suck, because they will get the job done. They will make me look good as the person who brought them in/onboard.

Those of us who survived the bubble did so on hard work and a network. We brought along the people we thought were the best, who we got along with, who would get the job done.

Its the new year, it is the perfect excuse to figure out who your network is, and what they can do for you. Make a list of folks you know, call them up, tell them your thinking of changing jobs. If you don't hear a lot of "send me your resume"/"is your linked/site in up to date" then you need to make some changes.
Man… just about every woodworking project ever.
I've seen a project outsource a core component "to speed up development". Turns out integrating with a 3rd party service added similar level of completely, all the design decisions had to be made around 3rd party system which constrained the project pointlessly. Project eventually got scrapped - part of the reason was that their core component wasn't even their own and they would have to renegotiate the license to pivot.
