This again the HN tech bubble. That TC is around average for most senior software engineers in most corporations in most US cities in the US.

And getting into a tech company and having high compensation doesn’t require “top talent”. Just the ability to memorize DS&A (junior to mid) and memorize system design and being able to regurgitate answers to behavioral questions showing “scope” and “impact”.

It takes knowing two or three well known algorithms to implement the scheduling problem they are trying to solve and system design chops to know how to scale it.

But, as far as having to be on hold for hours, that’s a staffing issue.

Most of their issues are symptoms of poor management - not software engineers.

Phones have used to be an exciting new toy that can do anything.

Since then the internet has gotten worse, most apps are either shit or need a subscription and basically the whole thing has become designed to addict you. Getting rid of it would make work and family life harder. The few legitimate conveniences it offers, like knowing when a bus is going to come, work just as well on pretty much any phone.
How to Power Raspberry Pi Pico with Solar Cells
Well, phones have crossed from being cool and new to being those things we must have to function in society. Additionally, they haven’t changed all that much. There’s no new function they can perform that they couldn’t before.

Edit: personally I want apple to make an eInk iPhone. It will never happen, but oh how I wish.

Borland Paradox

Getting into the more modern era... I don't remember exactly... my first job involved some DB/2, but I got exposed to Oracle and MySQL pretty early on as well.
This ^

No company has introduced anything groundbreaking in the phone industry. However, in the 2010s many features that we have today in smartphones just weren't there.
It's interesting how the ESP32 has become the de facto IoT MCU used in almost all new IoT products.

Other companies like TI and STMicro had their own cheap WiFi/BLE MCUs but their devkits used to be too expensive for hobbyists and students. But the Chinese startup behind the ESPxx chips made sure that their devkits were cheap enough for hobbyists and students and through that influence they now also dominate the professional industry.
In 2010-2013, I was always excited to have the latest flagship phone: Galaxy S, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4.

Eventually, I realised that smartphones are just substandard device:

- for doing programming, still not a match for PC/laptop

- for making pictures, still not a match for your favorite APSC/FF/medium format cameras

- for reading books/comics, not a match for you favourite dedicated book reader

- etc

These days, I only use my phone mostly for Whatsapp, Telegram, social media, music, reading some papers/books. No need for the latest, shiniest phone for those. My main phone is already 4 years old and doesn't receive update newer than Android 10. Probably will buy a new phone next... or the two next year.
I don't think I have needed to do the things you describe in about 15 years.

In fact, I don't remember ever needing to use LD_LIB_PRELOAD. Or driver debugging.

Linux is not perfect, my current laptop did not work perfectly until Ubuntu 22.04.

But your description of things is way hyperbolic.
Honestly, it's very difficult to cut social media.

We like to tell ourselves that those who managed to quit (and are informing us of how bad it is) are being snobs or acting superior: but the truth is unfortunately that we are just feeling defensive of our inability cut the habit.

I managed to get off of facebook and my mental health improved greatly, enough that I actually notice it. However, that was insanely hard and I did it years ago... and to this day I get tempted to go back.

I'm still on Instagram, I'm on tiktok, I'm on Twitter.

Twitter in particular always leaves me angry when I close it: people keep telling me that it's my fault, that I'm using the tool wrong, that I don't curate my feed enough.

I don't care, the truth is I can't quit because I feel like I'll be out of the loop, that people will not be able to reach me and I'll lose out on being a member of society.

For example: I lost connection with half of my family when I deleted whatsapp.

At some point we have to recognise that we've transitioned the majority of communication to these platforms: and telling people to quit is unreasonable.

I say this as a person who has tried, I recognise it is hard, I even believe it to be _necessary_ and even I can't do it.
Podcasts are powered by RSS feeds. You can parse the feed and download the file quite easily.
A wheel is an engineering miracle, not an object. (Try making one yourself if you don't believe me.)
That's a neat thing I kinda want to do right before dying, just taking all of my chat data I can get my hands on, retraining a chatbot on it and have it become the final version of me that can exist for as long as people want it around (aka pay for the server and gpu instance lol).
Couldn't they simply try to be profitable without scaling (and its issues) to the masses? Or it's VC pressure?
(Honest question, I don't know much about peloton in general)
There is always a trade-off between robustness and efficiency. By leaving less slack the SWA schedule is more efficient, but also more tightly strung. When failures exceeded the slack capacity the whole schedule fell apart.

The problem of recovery is also extensively studied. But it seems like SW did not put enough effort into having fault tolerant restart.

This whole event is a management decision.
The other way - a DDS drive with DAT support.

Anyway, you now need to acquire such drive, get to @jesprenj institution, tell them they are doing it wrong, threw out the current setup, replace the drive and the 'recording' station....

With a 30 y.o. tech which is obsolete for 20 years it's all.. questionable.
for me, after obsessing over this for a few model releases, I realized that most years the new model doesn't add that much I really need.

Usually it is a faster CPU, which matters less than it sounds because most things I do on the phone are messaging or talking to a web service, not CPU bound, or camera tweaks.
Boxfan Filters for Covid-19 Also Reduce Indoor PFAS and Phthalates
What is this? My Google-fu is weak.
It will have SQLite support very soon. The code is in there but there are a few quirks to tackle then documention for it will be written.
I feel like twitter is trying to do this? $8/mo for premium members, all the celebrities are there already.
The real culprits are those who take attention off the real issues and just blame Diwali or one off festival days. Entire days and weeks of meat eating and fattening animals for meat is one of the real culprits of damage to the climate.
I take your point but my definition of new in this case is "something under 4 years old or so" - basically a newer car. So you can totally buy a second hand car.
Idk while gpt is impressive I haven't seen any inductive reasoning coming out of it.

And even then for proper agi it would need to close the loop after inducing an hypothesis with testing.

Meatbags are going to be useful for a while still.
I didn't poke any holes into it. I just entered my code and asked it to do some work for me and it simply failed. The problem was a simple 50 line function I copy pasted from stackoverflow. I asked it to do something really easy.

The AI can output a lot of text but can you input a 100000 line code base into it? No you can't. You can't even input 50 lines of code that is already in the data set!

And by failure I mean somethin akin to a blue screen and not that the output was wrong, there was no output!
Fantastic project and presentation. Best wishes.
NGINX does the heavy lifting, and can utilize many cores.
I think OP fears for a world where we're awash in thousands of fake content posts which obliterate real valuable connections.

It's probably not going to end well.
"First google result says the worlds GDP is 91 billion USD."

If you didn't instantaneously realize that that's a ridiculously low number, you're way, way too ignorant to be commenting.
> Some sites seem to do something to block it

In my experience, this is often not a matter of "doing something", but rather a matter of "not doing something [correctly]". If a site does not properly tag an input field, then password managers (and other applications) will have trouble finding it.
Dr. Pepper has also brought out sugar free versions of their flavored varieties such as cherry and their Dr.P/cream soda mix. Coke and Pepsi seem to not do so or at least I don't see them at retailers near me which do carry the Dr. Pepper varieties.

I have always preferred Dr Pepper over either Coke or Pepsi. There was no hurdle of needing to acquire a taste for it.
Other pandemics were raging across Europe for the thousand years before that. For example, the Antonine plague and plague of Justinian
> Personally I am not a fan of the way the project is presented, though.

not a lot can be done about it with the feedback you provided though
Because even a 2 or 3 gen old iPhone is absolutely amazing.

Sure, the new ones are always bringing something slightly better and shinier, but the cost keeps rising each generation and the benefits are diminishing.

If you look at what you can actually buy if you get a refurbished iPhone11/12 today it’s an absolutely amazing value. When chip shortages are stable and something genuinely new comes along in a big way (5G/VR/AR/whatever) perhaps there is a new interest in new phones. But right now I don’t quite feel there is any need. Apple’s AirTag tech was actually good and I wouldn’t want a phone without it now, but that was something I discovered after getting the phone. It wouldn’t be enough to upgrade on its own.
I remember a discussion on here trying to get through to someone that the general counsel Elon fired was responsible for this, and the brief denouement of finally "owning the libs" at Twitter would give way to the dread of finding out what it takes to hold any line on freedom of expression. The people he fired had relationships within world governments that helped speed up resolution and make it more favorable to less encumbered tweeting.

It's similar to the issue with firing all the ad people: they maintained the relationships big spenders expect, and now there's no one to help convince them to stick around as ads appear next to worsening tweets.
> to be an expert

You should be able to offer solutions to problems impromptu. You should be dependeable in a wider-group meeting involving business or other competencies to represent what does the frontend say about it.

This means having knowledge and experience to offer solutions without googling.

Beyond that, you also need to be on top of the latest (not the newest) standards to follow. You need to stay up-to-date and filter through the waterfall of sh*t trends in the industry, to know what's actually relevant.

While doing all of that, you need to maintain your past/fundamental knowledge...nitty gritty details, to help your colleagues.

You need to do all of this while (most likely) being representative spokesperson/front for a frontend project at your day job.

> We're in the last period of the golden age of electronics, as the world has moved to SMD and extremely-high-integration, the stores of cool stuff that we can play around with are being depleated, but let's make the most out of it while it lasts!

This makes me sad. Mostly because I thought it was already over, but the author is right and now I have to experience the end of the golden once more.

Overall though, what a wonderful project. Makes me want to take out my C64 and do some assembly in Turbo Macro Pro.
Mozilla gave up on Firefox with lots of completly useless activities burning their bank accounts, Rust suffered by association.

Here, Embark new game engine in Rust hasn't gone anywhere,

https://medium.com/embarkstudios/embarks-creative-playground...

It even got a new release quite recently,

"we here at Embark been using this for over a year in production now for our Creative Playground & custom Rust engine that uses Vulkan, and hope it can be of use for more developers as we continue to build it out."

Yes they are also using Unreal for other titles, plenty of studios have more than one engine.
I use "Will I consume (again) or recommend?" and apply it to most media I have.

lobste.rs is what I can find. Likely tries to make its SEO as bad as possible to avoid discovery, which is kinda funny.
I like to use React for it's component system. Those components don't even have to be reusable, I just like working with them, it's way easier to separate and organize code and it makes me more productive when I have to find and change anything. I don't like huge html files. If I need static sites, things like Nextjs and Astro are great for that.
Looks like I was way of on both figures. Amazing huh.
I don't follow. Nationalization might add more slack, and more resilience, but it'll be so much more costly to operate.

Airlines run on very thin margins, so need to optimize heavily.

We just need to accept that we can either get "affordable" tickets with occasional meltdowns or we go back to 30 years ago and pay double price for tickets but have more resilience.

The market as a whole has already resoundingly chosen the former.

Safely flying humans in metal structures is just really expensive and the current ticket prices pretty much reflect the real cost (and even ignore the climate externalities)
> they now also dominate the professional industry.

is that true? it wasn't a couple of years ago.

To me cutting off WhatsApp would be akin to canceling my phone line 10 years ago.

I also don’t see it a social media per se. Otherwise Apple Messages or SMS should also be considered one.
Can AI Replace Humans in Creative Tasks?
There’s little to no change between phones. My iPhone 12 is almost the same as the latest version, save a few camera improvements (which I don’t care about).
> It used to be exciting in the 2010s to research prototypes and leaks. I waited in the cold for the early iPhones for hours on end. But now obsessing over these things feels hollow and gauche.

It's always been hollow and gauche (and I would add trashy). You just didn't realize it back then.

Basically, if a firm profits in selling you something and then manage to convince you to get emotionally involved, you're being played.

Anyway, I'm glad you've opened your eyes.

EDIT: I just read other answers here and at this time they're literally all "it's because iphones haven't improved". I'm speechless.
I do something similar as part of a team that builds bespoke equipment (can't be too specific). It's a full time job for 2 people for runs of around 50 custom half-racks every year. It's definitely a niche, but there's demand for sure.
Legend has it that dang can moderate even while asleep.

On the other hand, I've read here previously that dang is not human but a lizard.

I transitioned from a OnePlus 5 on Android 9 to a Google Pixel 7 on Android 13.

Sure the screen is bigger and better (but not breathtaking at a reasonable brightness), photos are way better for sure, but the rest, meh.

The battery life is not impressive, the OS is kind of irritating (and all excessively... rounded?), TouchID and FaceID do not work better.

It's OK, it works, but yeah it's hard to get excited with newer models.
Social media has taught us that some human group dynamics work at small scale but not at large scale. At large scale they have a much more sinister effect on society. One of these seems to be shame. Social media creates purity spirals, driven by fear of public shame. These spirals lead us to highly unethical places where not only are individual lives destroyed, but the progress of humanity is held back by kneejerk thinking, dogma and puritanism.

It's great that more and more people are starting to question whether social media is having an overall positive or negative affect on their own mental health. I'd like us to recognise, discuss, and combat, some of the wider problems that social media have brought, and how they're degrading to society as a whole.
I used to read The Guardian religiously for years. My mental health improved dramatically the day I stopped reading it. They are probably the “best” newspaper out there but it’s the media equivalent of high intensity doom scrolling.
Part of the challenge of this approach is that not every store will either be well run or meet aspirations of those who go to bookstores for a particular experience.

Some will do very badly! Others will be successful but unattractive. But on average the result will be better and if that ensures the survival of the chain the that's probably a good thing.
Reddit and HN are more in the subgroup of what you could call antisocial media.
The world GDP is (according to my Google search) 95 TRILLION, not billion.

Market cap is also quite different from GDP, because market cap measures (sort-of) wealth. It’s like comparing the value of your house compared of your yearly income
Twitter Death Watch – Basic Overview
I just realized that I haven’t bought a single app for my iPhone in years now. I don’t even open the app store unless I want to install something.

I remembered when I first got my iPad, I would spend hours digging through the app store to discover and download apps.

Now its just basic email, messaging, delivery and shopping apps
You may (or may not!) be conflating summary statistics with signal filtering here. For latencies as experienced by interactive users, the tail of the distribution (very high percentiles including maximum) are the summary statistics that matter, period.

It sounds like in your case the data is a mixed distribution of both non-actionable garbage and actionable signals, and if you could filter out the actionable, you would benefit from looking at the tail of that distribution.

However, the best way you have of filtering out the garbage currently is to filter out the central portion of the mixed distribution. This comes with some false negatives and false positives, and may (or may not!) be the ideal filter in your case.

It would be interesting to try to find out!
Right, by reactjs they likely mean create-react-app. Idk how much opinionated it is, but css imports should work out of box there.

So a better answer for a beginner must be on https://create-react-app.dev/docs/adding-a-css-modules-style... side. What I’ve learned about teaching is that if you show one way, they’ll move forward and figure out the others eventually. If you show many ways, they either get stuck in which-way anxiety or choose something incompatible or too advanced for their lessons material.

That said, OP, stackoverflow is a better format for questions like these. You can easily find the answer by either searching or by starting typing your question. I find their similar-questions algorithm pretty good at detecting “not even posted yet” duplicates.
Anecdotally, I know a few people who are children of Vietnamese who fled the war that are moving back to Vietnam. Reasons include perception of better opportunities and weather.
Yes, and Blockbuster can still lean into that. Pair recommendations with books. Movies as a tangible collectible item for many people still a thing. It's still a medium of knowledge, still a collectible item, and still good for signaling.
> There's rarely good reason I should have to pause my podcasts just because someone wants to communicate.

The fact that someone wants to communicate, is sometimes reason enough.
Ah the Python example from people that weren't there I guess.

Zope in the early 2000's, Guido's employment at NIST, CNRI, Google, Dropbox and now Microsoft. CERN and Fermilab pushing for it during 2003 onwards.

Ruby suffered the same fate as languages that are tied to a killer framework, then the killer framework is no longer seen as the new hottest thing to have on the CV. Yet, without Rails, no one would have cared enough for Ruby to matter.

There is one easy rule: diminutives are always neutral: das Mädchen, das Jungchen, das Eichhörnchen, ....
That's what I typically do.

I'll make sure that the libraries I rely on are either ridiculously well proven, or easily replaceable. If they are neither of those things I implement a new one myself from stuff that is, while no doubt just as buggy, it's at least code I can easily fix myself if it breaks.

Usually it's not that much work. I'll just implement what I actually need. Many open source projects are hilariously over-designed and have significant feature creep. If you cut that out you can replace the critical components with not a lot of code and not a lot of hassle.

If it can't be trivially re-implemented, I've been known to fork an existing project and take a grinder to it until it does what I want, usually axing away most of what I don't need to only expose the code I need.
Accelerationism is also bad, yes. A rather nihilistic way of looking at things.
That's a really nice front-end! Really good code structure and dev practices too to my JS-nooby eye at least.

A recommendation for the solver part, it seems your using a word trie instead of the more common directed acyclic word graph (DAWG) or the much faster GADDAG. GADDAGs are really cool, +2x faster lookup than DAWGs at 5x space for common Scrabble dictionaries? Even today's CPU cache sizes fit an English GADDAG with ease. [1]

I am working on a project for reinforcement learning for Scrabble, hoping to learn advanced strategies. When I need a front-end, I will definitely reference your project.

This looks interesting. I've only ever used ISC DHCP. Support for IPV6 is nice. Apparently there is also a migration tool to port existing configuration to Kea [1] I might try this out. It appears the KeaMA migration assistant is a package in Alpine Linux so maybe it is also in other distros.

This seems to be the main reason. Especially since the iPhone X with Face ID, the newer generations don't really have many convincing features over the previous ones. This was a lot different 10 years ago, when 3G/Retina/Touch ID/... came out with newer generations of the product.

To me, it feels like the PC market 20+ years ago compared to nowadays. When Moore's Law was still in full effect, your 4 years old PC (or Mac) was a slow piece of junk. Today, a computer from 2018 is perfectly fine for almost every task unless maybe you're a Java developer or film editor. The reason is different, the effect is similar. Let's see what others comment on this, regarding Apple Silicon :)
Maybe it’s because you’re getting older and care less.
