My 2p is understand what your target customers need from their suppliers in this area. Are they going to require ISO27001 certification before they even consider your product? Are you going to have to demonstrate robust business continuity procedures for them to take you seriously (e.g. are they going to really trust their critical processes to a single guy who could get run over tomorrow?) Is there legislation you have to demonstrate compliance against in their domains?

First of all, you have to work through these questions and validate your assumptions on all of them. Then you'll have a chance to spot ways of solving them. This is why a lot of startup products partner with large existing suppliers in the domain as you can piggyback of their reputation and operations. But without knowing your specific needs, you can't yet guage whether this approach would be right for you.
> Who is impressed by appliances lasting 5 years. If I buy a new Stove or Fridge and is craps out before 15 years I never buying that brand again.

I agree. I was recently shopping for a new fridge and, after reading countless reviews online, I realized that people's notion of quality has dramatically shifted. Even some luxury brands have either been acquired or started licensing Chinese companies to produce inferior-quality products with their name.
Surprised mold isn't on that list. I make sure to add silica gel packets even to my indoor safe these days due to the poor ventilation.

> How do you, say, check tire pressure?

You shouldn’t do that while driving. If your tire pressure becomes low, the vehicle should alert you. Pull over and check it.

> Setup a new garage-door opener?

You should absolutely 100% not be doing that while driving. I genuinely don’t know how this could even be a question.

> View your calendar for today?

You absolutely should not be doing that while driving.

You haven’t presented any questions for things that are necessary tasks while driving.
12th gen has had issues on all machines. Linux has added a lot of improvements and things generally work fine now, but it's not as out-of-the-box as 11th.

Take a look at https://frame.work/linux

This is probably as close to officially supporting linux as I can think of. I do agree that shipping with linux would be a good addition.
We actually don't know if the author is male or female, it is a guest post on that blog.

And actually, we don't even know if the blog itself is really written by Gail, since someone just posted that _they_ are the real Gail and it wasn't written by her.
Why those things in particular?

It's not shorter—there is an implied `<cr>` at the end there and as you have it written it's the same length. Also, if you did make a change, `:q` will yell at you. If that's what you want, though, that's totally cool.

The advantage of `ZZ` is that it can be used as a general "close this window" command. It'll work on unmodifiable buffers as well without complaining.
Cinnamon is also way behind on the tech. They're still stuck on GTK3 and X11. The resources going to KDE to reduce jankiness is only going to KDE. It isn't going to GNOME. I can't see why you think that would have any effect on anything else.

Did you bother to read that whole thread? The developer gives a long explanation with the reasons: https://discourse.gnome.org/t/icon-view-sizes-in-nautilus-43...
I'm a bad developer and I'm bad a code screens.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe there is a strong causal link between marijuana and schizoid type effects. I don't think this is even disputed. Maybe he was predisposed to it anyway, but the marijuana certainly did not help.
The issue my resume has is that it is being processed by morons who aren’t trying to do the right thing for their employer.

I know that for certain by the reactions to my resume from the handful of companies that actually reached out, and the reactions to my resume from the people who actually interviewed me, etc.
Yeah, I can second this. I worked at a big company popular on this board and while all the devs there were obviously absurdly talented, the general level of code quality was... not good. And it's specifically because management prioritized shipping features over literally anything else, so any time you spent on designing or refactoring was a negative mark on your perf sheet (since that's then a gap where you weren't shipping anything).

Maybe the secret sauce is that if you hire good devs and make them write bad code, the code is still workable and is just a huge PITA to figure dev work instead of being totally intractable?
To me this is all very cool. If you are starting a brewery you have to have a laser focused business plan and ideas that will help you stand out. Your odds of making it big are low, but if that is a goal you should probably be aiming for that from the start. I love that small neighborhood breweries are a thing. No the universe doesn’t really need your take on an IPA, but people who enjoy craft brew will often drink a local beer over another if it is good. If you get enough of a following, maybe try and package and distribute some, but I think being a cool local tap house is way easier in the current market than trying to package and distribute right away.

I will be the first one to lean heavily into the critical side on how the US has conducted foreign policy. I also agree that non-interventionism is the path the US government should take more often

Your example is prime one, the US policy of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" is a terrible one. We continue that style of foreign policy at our own peril

That said I do believe there are cases where the world should intervene and often does not because it is seen as an internal conflict, or there is no natural resource in that nation to exploit.

My point being that simply saying that all internal conflict is off limits, and all external conflict is within scope is far tooo simplistic, there may be some external conflict I would say the US has no business interfering with, and some that I think we should, and there are many internal conflict that I think we should and many I do not.
Yeah. If he's capable of building good stuff, but couldn't invert a binary tree, it suggests strongly that he didn't even bother to do a minimal amount of preparation, and Google is not unreasonable at all to want to filter out people who don't do that.
Most of those interfaces are total UI disasters - to the point where I think given a leading cause of death is car accidents, I think they are a material cause of death.
Amazingly bad takes.

> Ironic since safety laws is what put the screens in the cars in the first place

Screens themselves aren't the issue. They didn't mandate touch screens, or the removal of non-touch controls.

(EDIT: in fact, the removal of non-touch controls in place of touch controls is a perfect example of the market resulting in a race-to-the-bottom cost-saving measure that you're in denial of in your other comments).

> lol, yea that is not the reason for USB-C regulation

Care to elaborate on what the reason is then? Because that's the reason I've seen given.

> What ever comes next to replace USB-C either now will never be made and will be stuck

This is misleading. The law is flexible in that regard, and in fact the commission will be required to regularly amend the law.

> or the EU will be left behind has the rest of the world moves on to the better thing

Fortunately, the EU market is too big to ignore.
I don't play guitar, but keys and live looping is incredible fun. I do it in my DAW (Reaper) though and I'm not satisfied with the ease of use but also don't want to have another pedal lying around.

Does anyone know a working software solution that just mimics a basic pedal? Should also be trustworthy, I'm hesitant to install random free VSTs.
I think Adam Neely (youtube) does a great job of talking about this.

This simple fact was true in 2007 and it still is true in 2022: you can't even animate a list item on the web without incurring significant performance costs. Slack eats 20% CPU on an M1 Mac to display a single animated emoji.

Web has never been, and never will be a platform for apps. This has nothing to do with "devs vs. users". Users want slick performant apps that don't destroy your battery life. Web cannot and will never be able to offer that.

Because the core of the web is, was and will for ever be a system to display static text and images in a single rendering pass.

I posted on this thread earlier too:
Hi! I am the person that wrote this, and used GPT-3 and a few other writing tools to help me wordsmith it. All the points, however, is original work and not AI generated. I am not a native English speaker, so I have been using these tools to avoid awkward sentences/paragraphs. (Clearly this has not been the outcome I was hoping for)

As for the erroneous citation to Forbes: there were two links, one to Forbes and the other to Digiday to backup the next point in the outline I wrote. While transferring the content from Huggingface to the substack editor, I missed that in the proofreading.
Sure, but when do you realize you need to switch to a different career if you truly are bad?
Almost all wrong, except #1. #1 is a definite risk, and a more interesting one than just Russian and Chinese "planners." Otherwise your note is nonsense.

2. No sovereign government debt is paid down in real terms over the very long run (this doesn't have to be so, but the data). So why should a non-national buy it?

If you buy US debt you get an asset that is supremely liquid and extremely unlikely to default. Over shorter terms from right now it appears likely to outperform other sovereign assets.

In very short terms at various times you can make money trading marginal countries' debt (even Argentinian!). But you take on a big risk premium for that!

3. There is so much analysis of technological advances of the 20th century that I won't even bother to try an summarize. WWII began with horse drawn artillery and ended with jet aircraft and ICBMs. My own grandmother was alive from kitty hawk to moon landings and robots spread out through the solar system. Things move frustratingly (for me) slowly these days.

4. Arrant nonsense, with the trend pointing the other way.
Where I'm working currently, there is a lot of work that's done solo, and often with no (formal) code reviews. Don't ask, I don't like (the latter) either.

In any case, I think of Copilot (and sometimes lately ChatGPT) as pair programming. They might not be 100% correct 100% of the time, but - as long as keep my eyes opens and embrace a healthy level of scrutiny - they're better than being alone.
My friends called me a Luddite when I list this as a reason I bought a Nissan Leaf over Tesla. I’m very happy with it as it’s perfect for around town, was a lot cheaper, and for my teenage children a lot safer for learning to drive as it’s basically a traditional car.
Was this used as some sort of a spy device?
These came out when I was in 6th grade and were the hot new nerd toy for a few months. A handful of kids had them and the ability to text message students in nearby classrooms was impossibly cool. They became pretty disruptive as whoever had one had a group of kids huddled around them, pretty sure they were eventually banned by the school district (and were not easy to hide)
Not as far as I know. There's probably some guy who has a small surface lift in his garden that only friends use, but that is not really comparable.
I suspect it's because everyone wants to talk about Jazz but almost nobody sits and listens to it long enough to have an ear be able to enjoy listening to it. Like 95% of the people who talk about Jazz never listen to it, but anyone can blather on about some visual piece. They have probably spent 100x more time looking at the album they have prominently displayed than they have spent with it out of it's sleeve.
Haven't had much of a chance to play with Boss pedals, myself. I have a couple of Behringer "knock offs", along with other effects pedals.

Such a dizzying array of options and sounds to be discovered when they're chained together; and I can happily spend hours down the rabbit hole looking for tunes that compliment the distortions that have been twiddled up!
Oh, it's the worst. And it's definitely not even cool.

The car industry spends so much money on supposedly relevant things and yet it's a disaster.

App Store and Google Play consoles are also utterly insanely bad.

I think what happens is there is nobody responsible for the experience, just for the function.

It does A, B and C, it looks 'cool' and so that's that.
The complaint here is about moderation tactic that is not actively harmful or abusive to people and ease their own load when threads become too much. Complaining about that is absurd.

See, I disagree. I think they look drab, uninspired, and by merely looking at them I can experience some of the emotional pain I know I'm going to feel as frustration while attempting to use it.

I find properly-designed buttons far more impressive.

I am obviously not the target demographic. I've hated touchscreen phones since inception.
This is the number one reason I have not bought a Tesla yet.
Loved the author’s writing style. He strikes a nearly perfect balance of casual and humorous with precise domain jargon.
That is only a small fraction of RAII. The trivial fraction. If malloc fails, real RAII gives you an exception, which you may catch somewhere convenient. Real RAII runs a constructor. If construction fails, you get an exception. Lacking those, it all has to be done and checked by hand on the spot, and is often wrong, because not tested.

Nobody ever demanded touch screens. Cars already had navigation built in that had no touch screens nor a need for them. Car companies choosing cheap, substandard designs to save a buck is something the car companies decided on.

The market being a race to the bottom is visible in every single space where only a few companies control an entire industry. From supermarkets to cars, from soft drinks to tech, when competition dies down market regulation is the only way to get the interest or the general population taken care of. I'm 100% certain PepsiCo and Big Tobacco would market to toddlers if we allowed them to. Car companies have started to move to electric not because Tesla's cars were such a good business model but because governments are moving to ban internal combustion engines somewhere within the next decade; regulation is forcing these companies to innovate in ways that don't provide an immediate financial profit.

Obviously a state controlled market will always fail, but a purely free market has proven to only serve the richest of the rich. Balanced regulation is key. In my opinion, cars that put common driving controls on touch screen a should never been allowed on the road.

A easier way to limit non competes to a minimum would be to require companies to pay a full salary to workers while the noncompete is in effect. No matter if they quit or are fired.
Not really, it says "good work is worth it, polishied work is not worth it", which means... what?

That's not how I would use the word "polished", or I've ever heard anyone else use the word polished. And if we just define the word polished to mean "work that isn't worth it", that changes the title to the much clearer, but much less exciting "Demanding work which isn't worth doing is a power move".

The teaser line about ibuprofen synthesis is interesting because he didn't put enough "tease" into it for non-chemists to understand the kind of funny analogy. Superficially, one would not expect that a "green" synthesis would start with HF acid, but here it is anyway and it works. A "you gotta be kidding me" moment that makes sense after thinking about it.

I think that's the analogy he was trying to make in the article that only chemists would "get" about the innovation of chiral resolution, I have to admit the first time I read about that I was like "you gotta be kidding" but after thinking, it makes sense.

I'm trying to think of a similar "you gotta be kidding" in CS/IT, but its too early in the morning.
Sure, there is inertia. There are famous examples of people with ideas backed up by data who were treated very badly (notably - they tend to be from before the last 100 years). Academics do get things wrong, even in groups.

But an outsider showing up and saying "academia is lying to you" and making a show aimed at a popular audience is... just not going to be the place where paradigm shifts come from.

> people still writing "C/C++" often reveal that they don't have a clue about either.

How about "Java/Groovy" or "C#/VB"? C++ and C are related enought to write that I think. Especially since it is common to mix the languages in projects.
> Criminal gangs use this tactic fairly frequently as an alternative to killing someone but I believe it should solicit the same punishment.

Criminal gangs tend to take the more active holding people down and injecting people with drugs approach than the slow sneaky process. But once addicted the addict is now reliant on the gang for their continued supply and can be controlled. The real life instances I’m aware of was done on people who were preparing to testify against their family members in a gang. It was a speedball injection. But is has been depicted in fiction such as in the move ‘the town’.

My relatives were involved in sheltering them to get them clean, but as soon as they went home the gang found them and got them addicted again.

Ask HN: What happens when you dial a phone number?
I've always been curious about phone routing, but the Wikipedia article on PSTN feels rather light. [0]

Back in 2003, I was living in the Midwest. On an August morning, I had a friend visiting from New York, and I couldn't get through to them on their New York cell phone number. Calls were always busy. Later, we suspected it was due to giant Northeast blackout [1], but never had concrete proof.

So how does cellphone routing work? If you dial a New York cell phone number where the phone is in Los Angeles, does the call need to be routed to a exchange in New York? If a number has been ported from Verizon to Google Fi, does that number still go through a VZW exchange given its prefix? Or is there a DNS for phone numbers that gets updated periodically?

Thanks!

That's why it should be mostly about protecting the youth who are more likely to be uninformed about dangers. It is true that outright prohibition is pointless, but it can introduce a bit of friction that forces users to have to put in a little effort in order to try it. Because of the effort, it is more of a deliberate decision.
The point is that, it is entirely up to you to decide.
Legality is relevant because the law would apply to cars being sold, which is a lot easier to enforce than preventing drivers from using what’s already in the car.

This one’s simple: unless they, or someone they know, grew the plant themselves, there is no practical way to know what really went into the joint. I’ve witnessed people having hallucinations after a joint, which seems unlikely with cannabis.

A couple of these products already exist for Android (and released before AirTag came to market). The difference with these products vs AirTag has been scale and consent. Apple devices are listening for AirTags without intervention or user consent by default. Existing Android products required additional steps to install softward and opt-in to the listening for tags.

Without the scale, your Android devices may be the only devices in your area listening for "Tags" which isn't bad if you are trying to find your keys at your house, but makes it difficult to track your luggage with airlines or monitor where your kids may be. Of course, the flip side of this scale is the current malicious use of AirTags for stalking & harrassment.

What solutions are there to this problem? Asking Google to recreate AirTags is simply recreating the problem within a second ecosystem. Perhaps this is an example of how lack of scale can be a 'good' thing from certain perspectives (a philosophical debate on the tipping point of your product shifting from consumer good to community harm). If you have honest conversations with lawyers or Risk Management, you'd know that passing laws against misuse has no effect unless a law is enforceable.

We're back at the core of the question, AirTags being only one example. How does society navigate the use of helpful technologies for malicious purposes.
Maybe it is wishful thinking but I predict that within a decade cloud-only appliances will be illegal for three reasons:

- Users will get tired of having their expensive gadgets being bricked because the cloud part was decommissioned.

- Right to repair laws and environmental regulations will require appliances to have longer lives.

- National security.
