This is exactly what I mean by "paying to get around process tech debt"

Facility has a "no sparks" in buildings A, B and C rule. Rule obviously doesn't apply to contractors doing a ton of welding during a holiday shutdown. Non-contractors in maintenance dept want to fix some other crap at the same time. Sure they could try and get approval to use a jackhammer concurrent with the other work but in reality there's a 75% chance the safety department will intentionally stonewall until after the shutdown rather than set the precedent of a sensible exemption and the maintenance manager knows it so they buy the expensive grout.
You may also be surprised to know that scientists aren’t nearly as “surprised” as journalists suggest. Science journalism often seems to use any means necessary to avoid the word “probability”.

It’s a “fluke” in that you don’t always get this effect. But sometimes you do. And some people never do. How strong is the correlation? What’s the mechanism of causation? That’s where the science comes in.

You have absolutely hit the nail on the head; here.

I think - Ye aside - Yeezy is a great example of how there can be a balance between this like insane run of only 1000 shoes (which only sell for like $250-350 USD retail anyway…so - yeah - where’s the profit again?) - to mass market ‘Wal-Mary’ level availability.

The only people who benefit from limited releases are scalpers. Period. There’s no way the shoe company makes that much profit off a limited release because the limited releases are wildly somehow still usually at ‘regular’ prices.

A solid pair of YEEZY 350’s is not that hard to come by for any even half-committed sneakerhead, I’ve got 3 pairs and my girlfriend has two. We hardly tried. I won the lottery twice myself, and only ever entered 6 times.

It’s really a shame what happened with Ye, because despite all the drama; the Yeezy fashion project was actually an interesting one that had some real potential to find an actual, honest-to-God balance between artificial scarcity and actually selling the goddamn product.
It’s disheartening that Google and Mozilla seem so disinterested in trying to match or exceed that power efficiency. I like having multiple options for web browsers but because of the difference is so stark it’s only actually a choice on desktops.
Config files on an embedded device got me into using vim 10+ years ago. This seems to be a common use case. Eg, “I use vim for short term editing on remote machines but VS Code for any serious editing.”

This is not me though. I love me a plug-in heavy vim for coding sessions. Maybe one of these days I’ll be stuck working with some ECMA-based language and will finally start using VS Code.
They were thinking ahead. Half as much software to eventually fix.
> In my state we have a lot of breweries that essentially just operate as family friendly restaurants with bars

I'm in Canada, but yeah similar. The taproom might sell only a few snacks or something (or maybe get a local food truck to park outside), but people are also welcome to bring in outside food: many times I'd go with friends for drinks and then order a pizza or something delivered to the brewery.

Yes, just put a "if (errno) goto err" after every function call in your program.

The destructor is the distinguishing feature of RAII. Lots of languages have constructors without RAII because they do not have deterministic destructors. Examples are Python and Java.

Author known for highly imaginitive galaxy-spanning settings writes a novel about AR and a down-on-his-luck poet on a UC campus. (IIRC!) The story is good, but it is a book about California in the proximate future as imagined from the 2010s and so it doesn't feel as timeless as the spacefaring universes of his other work.

There are 2 flavors of the ESP, depending on model. The Xtensa cores and RISCV, go with the RISCV variant. The Xtensa variant requires you to use their compilers, which are derived from he ones provided by Cadence. There's a better path long-term for the RISCV cores to get tooling on par to what's available for ARM.

Ask HN: What would you want in a Linux community?
I'm tempted to start a new community for Linux / BSD enthusiasts, a sort of "LUG 2.0". What would you guys want to see in such a thing?

A few of the ideas I had (please feel free to build them yourself!!):

- a stackoverflow-like area but accessed from command line

- calendar of local tech events (obv you don't need that in Silicon Valley, but elsewhere it's still a thing)

- IRC

- job board

- curated selection of recorded talks and howtos

- ideally, a way to let people try out exotic distros quickly on virtual machines (the problem here is cost).

Anything else...?

WebKit is open-source, so it is actually one of the few Apple projects where the developers do not not remain nameless (the other big one being Swift).

IIRC WebKit has its own bug tracker, hence why you get better response times. Radar itself is still a terrible and demoralizing experience (from a developer point-of-view)
> vaccination has become political.

When the concept of vaccination was new, it was political.
After a few rounds of stopping really bad disease (smallpox, polio, rabies, etc...), people mostly believed in vaccine because they literally eradicated disease. When COVID hit, I think it benefited from the reputations of successful vaccines of the past, and a lot of people put their faith in public health officials who in the past were the vanguard for eradicating some very dreadful, horrible viral diseases.

After getting couple doses of COVID vax, actually having everyone in my family (who is vaxed) including me get COVID (and some of us get seriously ill), I have a very hard time believing that the COVID vaccination was very effective, especially if you compare it to the vaccinations that have successfully eradicated entire diseases. Millions have shared the same experience my family had.

Yes, desperate times call for sometimes desperate measures, and I like to believe that the COVID vaccine helped blunt the pandemic... but the fact is people get this vaccination and still can get COVID and even die of die of it. This is the source of the cognitive dissonance we see in the body politic right now... and why trust in public health is down substantially.
The Mercedes Benz from 2019 has a screen that spans from one end to the other to make up the driver's display and the radio display but it does not have a touch screen. It instead has a dial and touch based device to navigate the touch screen. The Nissan Rogue has a touch screen and small display. IMO, the Nissan Rogue touch screen is better, especially for carplay and android auto. The comparisons between both are futile, because they are both touch based and do not give feedback when the function of the touch successfully works. I wish the Rogue also did have a dial/hard button device to navigate the touch screen from the steering wheel.

I think we got steered in the wrong direction when car-mounted GPS devices were touch (albeit infrared). And the car industry was more copycat than innovative. It is the reason why I cringe at the tesla's big giant screen.

We need a Steve Jobs to take the messup of these industry players and fix it. Start off with incredibly limited, but perfect functions, and then grow from there once people's heads are rewired to understand how it should work.

I'm not sure the delayed report is all that strange... when a bunch of college kids rent a big house, strangers are not that uncommon; relationship drama (crying) isn't that uncommon; sleeping in past 1pm isn't that uncommon. As long as the murderer didn't leave trails of blood through shared space, waiting until late in the day to check on somebody seems pretty normal to me. Especially if you heard folks up at 4am, politeness dictates you give them extra time to sleep in.
Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it, and agree completely with you when it comes to the pricing - especially for things like personal or small-business use. In the longer run, we aim to introduce more affordable tiers to enable as many as possible to use the product, but until then we understand that either hand crafting or things like Wix/SquareSpace might be a better option for many.

If only!

I was a TA for an introductory CS class that taught C++ and, in passing, vi. A hour before one assignment was due, a student showed up in a panic. “I just had it working but then the computer corrupted my file. Look! Can I have an extension?” The other TA and I smirked: What a lame excuse! We offered some generic advice about starting earlier and visiting office hours. He left in a huff.

A few minutes later, a second student appeared with the same story, and then a third and fourth.

We eventually tracked the problem down to some handwritten notes, where someone had written a largish :x for “save and quit.” The students were doing things like spamming :X (since it didn’t seem to respond the first time—-and it was over a sluggish ssh connection) or a reflexive quit-and-compile cycle. I think we eventually recovered one or two assignments by guessing what they might have done.

We obviously apologized profusely and the next class started with a discussion of :x versus :X—-and emacs!
Curious. I'm from a mid-sized northern Spanish city, always shower once a day, most of my family and friends do as well. People I know from the south of Spain even shower more than once a day (it's hot down there). And in Spain there is the meme that French and British people shower much less than the Spanish. No idea if there is truth to it (although when I lived in the UK, I was shocked at how seldom the British people I was sharing house with showered, but that's a sample size of two).
> Ironic since safety laws is what put the screens in the cars in the first place, the regulation requiring backup camera's which required large screen to show the picture.

The ggp post was about EU requirements. A backup camera is not required in the EU, that's a US requirement. EU requires a warning system when going backwards, but that's beeping, not showing a picture (a camera/screen wouldn't satisfy the warning-requirement).
The EFF and Calyx Institute used to run https://canarywatch.org/ for this, but shut it down at some point. AFAIK there's no such site now.
First, "sprinkle some DNA", really?

Second, yes, not everyone screams when they're stabbed or wake up with someone else in their room. Many, many, many, many murders of multiple people in houses have been recorded where others were sleeping next to them, in adjacent rooms, even awake in the same house while they occurred.

Third, if you assume he did it, it's reasonable to think he would return to the crime scene for any number of reasons: to retrieve the knife sheath or potentially plant evidence, to watch the police response, to relive it, maybe to admit guilt for it ...

Fourth, you're also conveniently leaving out other facts that don't fit your theory, like him changing the plates on the car.

And finally, if some mastermind was able to steal his car, phone, knife and sheath, commit these murders, return with his car and phone to the crime scene 5 hours later, and return them all and abscond away unnoticed - bravo, but that's not how 99.99999999999% of murders in history have gone down, even ones much more meticulously planned than this.

Occam's Razor.

> I’m skeptical ...now that vaccination has become political.

I'm exactly the opposite -- I'm skeptical of skepticism like yours, because its source often seems to be political / tribal rather than rational. Specifically, it seems to me that some people have started pushing the anti-vax narrative because they find that it gives them power.

> ...am I more concerned about the disease or the vaccine?

Is this an either-or question? We have government institutions like the FDA, whose job it is to make sure that proposed medical treatments are 1) not harmful 2) do what they claim to do. If you have a rational basis for thinking they're not doing a good job, then lobby for change; or at very least present evidence so that someone else might choose to do so.

We also have government institutions like the CDC, whose job it is to come up with policies that will benefit the population as a whole; to weigh the overall benefits of (say) promoting flu vaccination against the costs and risks.

Sure, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC experienced political pressure. But that was because lockdowns are inherently politically unpopular.

I'm not aware of any such political pressure regarding flu vaccination; which makes your skepticism -- particularly without any evidence presented for it -- seem irrational.
I am astonished they got any funding at all.

>>I can't imagine how a rational and empathetic

Empathy and rationality are often in conflict, you seem to side more on the empathetic side where I do not. I am purely on the logical / rational side and freely admit to having very low Empathy.

>>someone to who can't be reasoned out of their opinions simply because they didn't reason themselves

I literally linked to a site called Reason.com.... It provides a very reasoned case for the abolishment of Drunk driving laws, and the unintended consequences to civil liberties those laws have created. (similar to the consequence to civil liberties the war on drugs has caused)

I think I have very reasoned and logical positions that are not based at all in empathy or emotion, which IMO is where all government regulation and law should be, devoid of emotion. Laws created because of emotional response are almost universally bad laws.
> they sure as hell didn't buy you because of your culture.

They bought the company and tech. The company built the tech the way it did because of the people, and the people found the best way they operate. If salesforce wanted to have a salesforce built product they would have done that, but they bought slack. who’s to say if slack would be successful if the people are forced to act like salesforce?

The ARM cores used in STM32s have great support. I think, at this point, almost any language and toolchain you could ever want. Good debugger support. The RISCV cores are going to get there and that's why I'm glad Espressif is moving that way. The Xtensa based ESP's are a dead end, in my very humble opinion.

I'm also not sure about licensing, but I know STM32s that you buy as development boards have a non-production or non-commercial use clause. Which sucks if you want to produce something in really small batches. I don't know if ARM based Picos or RISCV ESP32s have that same constraint. But I doubt they do.

Safari has its problems, to be sure, but it is a long, long, long way from being equivalent to old IE.

FTX seeks to recoup SBF's charitable donations
Ask HN: Next Steps on Leadership Growth
I currently work at an agency and it's coming up on 10yrs that I've been with the company (actually longer about 10.5yrs started off as consultant) and 10.8 years since the company was started. We just brought a CTO on board which the CEO looked to my approval prior to offering him the role. Prior to bringing the CTO on board the CEO was acting in the role of the CTO with the VP of Tech and myself the VP of Engineering assisting.

During the time the CTO was being interviewed I just so happened to have my review with the CEO and he presented me with a question on my next steps and growth with the company. As the company is growing the CEO is also establishing an org chart that he's been working on for over 6 months.

My understanding of my role as the VP Of Eng is that I am tasked with establishing the engineer practice, hiring of engineers, solving issues at the organizational level and managing other managers/leads etc.

The CEO's vision would be to have people specialize in one area with me being presented the role of "Head of Backend".

The question I'm trying to gain clarity on is what is the difference between VP of Engineering and Head of Backend given that we have multiple engineering disciplines (React Native, Frontend and Backend).

Right now I wear the following hats:

- Lead on projects max of 2 (small PM tasks, full feature coding , PR reviewing, system Architect, direct client engagement among other tasks), consultant of many.

- Part of a team of Sr Engineers to redefine our engineering departments and design practices/work flows(building tools, documentation, best practice / structure)

- Hiring Backend developers, 1:1 and mentoring
Solution Architect/Problem solver (may be brought in to help solve full tech solutions no matter the discipline. The issue usually starts as a backend need and then goes into Frontend or Mobile implementation/needs)

The issue I'm having here is how to decide on what my next steps are but also if I choose Head of Backend could that be seen as a demotion or should it be seen as a restructure in limiting the need to wear multiple hats and having a clear career growth path.
