I think the marketing of performance has always been a subthread.

But the actual machines have always been merely "good enough". The 68k macs lagged PCs significantly. PPC had a brief moment where it was faster than 486/P5 devices but then got demolished by P6+ cores, to the extent that Apple had to switch to Intel themselves. Then for almost two decades they shipped what amounted to the same silicon as high end windows laptops. MacBooks were "high performance", but not in a way that wasn't accessible to HP or Lenovo.

But all that relies on it not being a lie. If you lock your platform marketing not into merely "Insanely Great" but into the idea of Apple Silicon being best, then you need to make damn sure it actually is. And right now it is! But it needs to stay that way if you're going to bet the platform on it.
Too many different platforms to support which causes engineering issues.

For web, you need to support multiple browsers and infinite number of screen sizes.

For mobile, you need to support iOS and android and multiple different OS versions and screen sizes.

You also want to minimize platform-specific code, which often causes you to roll your own way of doing things. From an engineering point of view you don’t want your code based to diverge, which would cause supportability issues and/or lengthen and complicate developing new features.

It’s basically a nightmare for any moderately successful company that doesn’t want to alienate any customers.
I'm lucky that I probably don't have any serious disorders. For me, the usual stuff like exercise and diet. Reading physical books, often fiction. Besides that...

1. Some of my hobbies are like my work, but as hobbies, I get to do them on my own terms and timeline. And they're a way for me to divert my inevitable "screen time" away from doomscrolling.

2. One of my hobbies -- jazz musician -- is as unlike my regular work as you can imagine. This includes a completely different cast of characters, who come from all walks of life. Most are not techies.

3. I try to take charge of my physical surroundings, e.g., tidying, fixing things, making minor home improvements. I've even done touch-ups and minor repairs when I've been a renter. It also provides some hobby-like satisfaction, and occupies my hands.
In marketing, you can include competitor brand names in your keywords. The tactic is referred to as "conquesting".

DistroWatch Issue 1000
Just to steel man the argument, I think what the parent might mean is that when you move from something that used to be physical security only (a regular key) to something that is now both physical and over radio, or worst case radio only, you are introducing a new medium and because of that you're also introducing a lot of new attack vectors and vulnerabilities.

Presumably the argument is that the benefits you get from this new medium being introduced (being able to unlock your car from a distance) can be argued to not be useful enough to warrant the new issues it brings along with it (verifying the authenticity of the transmission, avoiding jamming, etc.), and one can argue that the Flipper Zero is shining a light on these issues in a new way: they have always been there as fundamental parts of the choice of the radio medium, but they are now easier to exploit.
Except endless crying about hardware vendors not making drivers for Linux, because lack of stable ABI.

I'm interested to know a bit more about your self-debriefs. What is the format? Are you reflecting back on specific events, or is this a daily practice?
I don't doubt you but I just wanted to chime in with another point of anecdata that I have a family of 4 (2 kids) & we live perfectly fine in a 92m^2 (just under 1000 sq feet) apartment in Berlin. It would have been nice to have more room but I don't actually think about it that often! jsonne's idea of a modest 1600 sq ft apartment would actually be considered huge here :)

I suspect you're right that a lot of it has to do with the surrounding culture - almost nobody in Berlin lives in large homes (there are very few houses and most people live in 5-8 story high apartment buildings) & I think Germans as a habit just don't buy as much crap.
Hyped about the auto-tracing feature! The current version of spall has been very useful to me for some quick performance measurements.
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to answer questions! There are numerous use cases where even a 100x slowdown would be acceptable if it was demonstrable able to process sensitive data. Can you help me understand what kind of a slowdown that is? Could the 10-100x slowdown be overcome by more compute nodes, or would it require the nodes themselves to be 10-100x faster for e.g.?

I'm looking for a part-time/full-time position as a software engineer (frontend/backend or both). Past year I have worked at a small startup and have full stack experience.
I did it so long ago, so I’m not quite sure it was this. A quick google gave me this: https://windowsreport.com/windows-11-right-click-show-all-op...

There are a few things out there, but I always trust a good ol’ registry hack over a 3rd party exe.

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in NYC area, backend engineer
I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 5 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience.

The ideal engagement at this point would be with a firm that expects to need team-level help and wants to try me out as the lead for that on a smaller initial project.

You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities
* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well
* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver
* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

* built realtime stats and the enterprise-wide developer portal for one of the top 3 major US sports leagues (golang/pyspark/docker/azure)

* portfolio management process replatforming for a midsize hedge fund (bespoke->dockerized python aws lambda architecture)

* built a ~50 node, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.

* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

* built and managed a team of 8 engineers operating against multiple streams of work to meet business needs, with ~12 active projects at a time.

It doesn't help that there are dozens of different definitions of MVC running around. The very clearly uses one that is different from yours.

The thing is that, whatever definition you use, you should have almost all of your code in one of those layers, a small minority on another, and shouldn't even remember exactly how to change the other (unless you start many projects). If that's not the case, your code architecture is working against you.
There are two reasons I can think of:

1. The most popular front-end frameworks (e.g. React and Angular) are created by large orgs which naturally leads to extensive codebases as they’ll need to have many use cases.

2. Every new and shiny front-end framework is good for job security since having it on a resume makes you more hireable. I suspect it’s also why some developers practically force startups to switch their front-end codebase to the next shiny framework - resume padding.

As a solo dev I wasted a few years using (and hating) these new frameworks for my Django projects because it’s what everyone was recommending.

Then it hit me when I realized that they were meant for large dedicated front-end teams to increase their productivity. If you’re a solo developer, they actually hurt your productivity.

That’s why I’m so happy with htmx. I can get my sanity back!
And recruiters at companies that didn't list a minimum (e.g. Cisco, HP, MS, Amazon, Google) told me not to bother applying with my GPA.

Company I did get hired at, which is definitely a software company, told me later I only got hired because nobody thought to ask me my GPA.
Haha, not really - the original Apollo program was reasonable - lets doe a low Earth orbit space station or two, build some space infra, improve and ideally reuse launchers...

Then Kennedy came with "LETS DO A LUNAR LANDING LIKE RIGHT NOW, LOL!" & then got himself killed so it could not be taken back.

What followed was an ultimately successful mad dash with great emphasis on cost-is-not-an-option which did bring us some nice inventions but did not really help to build any real space infra or to lower the launch costs.

And arguably also entrenched the bad idea that space needs to be horrendously expensive and always will be. Not really, until you are on a mad dash with a singular unrelated objective.

But hey, it might still be useful experience next time a killer asteroid or hostile aliens show up.

I like what I've seen of svelte, but it's going to be hard to drag me away from vanilla web components with lit-html as a renderer.

Super lightweight, blazing fast, and straightforward to develop with. Class property setters that call render() are the reactivity.

In some cases it does take more time to reason about lifecycle and rendering than the equivalent react component, though.

Airbnb removed my negative review
I recently had a bad airbnb experience. During check in the host requested a cash deposit. this wasn't explained in the listing or prior to arrival. i couldn't check in and went elsewhere. Then i posted a review* giving these details.

Airbnb removed my below review because "The review didn’t have enough relevant information to help the Airbnb community make informed booking or hosting decisions."

The rating of the place went back up after removal. The host still have "superhost" status.

Needless to say, i no longer trust airbnb reviews.

*my full review was:

I wasn't able to check in because [Host] requested 300 USD security deposit during check in. I told her - I don't have that much cash on me. - That is against AirBnB rules. - This should have been explained in airbnb listing. She can't just surprise guests with this at the last minute. She didn't listen. She said: "my house my rules", "you can't tell me how to run my business", "if you don't like it, you can cancel". I told her if i cancel, i don't get full refund so she should cancel. she said she won't cancel and me not getting refund is not her problem. I think she counts on the fact that guests typically wouldn't want to cancel in the last minute. you can see in some other reviews people had to agree to paying her this deposit. But i didn't want to cave in and called AirBnB. Thankfully, airbnb fully refunded the payment and i was able to find another accomodation in the last minute. I don't recommend this host unless you want a stressful start for your vacation.
Huh, I'll admit that I hadn't even noticed that button-ribbon at the top of the context menu yet. :D
No. C++ being a mistake is a valid argument. There are enough smart people claiming this that you can't dismiss it (Linus Torvalds for example). While the argument is not definitive it is valid enough that it must be considered.

One thing I highly disagree with in your statement is this: " C++ was about as close to excellence as we could’ve hoped for."

In my opinion, C++ is nowhere close to excellence. Best available option for certain applications is more inline with my opinion of it.

Backend developer with sysadmin experience. I read manuals, do things right the first time, and can learn just about anything in one weekend.
Sure, lots of things would be nice to have in Rust that aren't done yet. Some of them you can see in nightly, because their rough shape exists but isn't stabilised. Rust is taking things rather steady because of a strong preference for soundness.

In particular I want a stable niche (my nook crate uses the unstable niches because that's the only way to do it, the intent is to use a stabilised mechanism when one exists), I want a stable way to write const implementations of traits which aren't necessarily const (and thus const for loops) and on the same lines I want const panic.

A strong macro system is very dangerous. I use and like Rust's declarative ("By example") macros, and I appreciate the need for proc macros or other technology but it's very dangerous. Are Scala's macros somehow less dangerous? Or you just prefer how they work?

Rust has come a pretty long way since 1.0. Once upon a time u8::MAX couldn't exist. There was no way to express the idea that a type has an associated constant, so that's why std::u8::MAX is (deprecated but) there.

It's probably never going to be as comfortable to write Rust as Scala, but on the other hand it's definitely never going to be possible to deliver the performance of Rust in Scala.
If the weight of the vehicle is not on the wheels then locking diffs or snow tires won't help. If you are high centered you are high centered and you have to solve that problem first.
Ubuntu defaults to GNOME for its desktop environment?

Hating shows their lack of skills. They are the kind that know just enough to complain but lack any significant skills when it comes to development. They probably work in some point and click system administrator job. Eventually they either learn they can lead the change they want to see in open source and shut up because they aren't willing to do it, or they keep throwing a fit like a baby thinking that'll help them get their way.
Some people have it much worse than others, and it sounds like you have it bad. You're still a person and worthy of love and capable of change. There's no magic bullet, but you can't predict the future. Keep working at it, brother.

Related question: what would the folks here recommend for someone that wants to keep the frontend “stupid simple” while not resorting to writing everything in pure HTML/CSS/JS?

I’ve heard mithril.js recommended before but I’ve yet to try it. I have experience with Angular, React, and a bit of Ember and the amount of code and “magic” involved is absurd.
I’m in the permaculture community and most of these guys have stories about their neighbors looking at them like they’re crazy for years until there’s a catastrophic event and they see the land across their fence is doing better than theirs and only then do they start asking for advice, which they then take very slowly. For the people who think this is where we need to go to fight soil loss and global warming, this sort of learning by osmosis is very, very frustrating.

People blame these guys for making their money off of speaking engagements and consulting, but it’s going to take a lot to get to the point where your neighbors are on board. If you want to teach someone you have to seek them out, not just work locally.
Then the language is implicitly converting it through suspension for you. They are still different things. What if you don’t want that to happen?
That is not true at either Meta or Google. Final hiring decisions are made by either hiring managers directly or by a committee of senior engineers/managers if the interviewee is not placing directly into a team.

HR is there to make sure you’re not making biased decisions against protected classes or to flag if the candidate said something inappropriate in an interview or something, but they have no say in evaluating the candidate’s ability to actually perform the job. That evaluation is based almost entirely on the interview feedback; once a candidate is in the interview loop, grades make very little difference.
>I'm a Windows developer and as such I'm biased, but I think Windows apps are dramatically easier to write than web apps.

I agree that the developer-facing usability of a good desktop GUI toolkit runs circles around whatever webdev is these days, but the barrier to entry for a completely new programmer is certainly a lot higher than HTML.
But software products are made out of code. I hope this is no news.

Typical problem:

>> In my house, our nursery both cooled faster and heated faster than any other room in the house. The thermostat (a Nest) controlled the boiler from the living area, and would often turn off the boiler while the nursery was still chilly.

Nerd solution: integrated sensors. Smart home devices. Complex multi-zone heating. Issue never really goes away. Each time something is updated/bricked the entire system must be revisited. (See LLT tech tips videos about Linus's new house.) I'm still laughing at his hot LCD displays mounted directly below the thermostats in each room.

Actual solution: An electric space heater. Available at any Walmart for 25$. Built in thermostat. Problem solved.
